Common use of Representations and Warranties of the Sponsor Clause in Contracts

Representations and Warranties of the Sponsor. The Depositor hereby assigns to the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders all of its rights (but none of its obligations) in, to and under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Insofar as the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement relates to such representations and warranties and any remedies provided thereunder for any breach of such representations and warranties, such right, title and interest may be enforced by the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. Upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Sponsor of such breach and request that the Sponsor shall, within 90 days from the date that the Sponsor was notified or otherwise obtained knowledge of such breach, either (i) cure such breach in all material respects or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price and in the manner set forth in Section 2.02; provided that if such breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered. However, in the case of a breach under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, subject to the approval of the Depositor the Sponsor shall have the option to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for such Mortgage Loan if such substitution occurs within two years following the Closing Date, except that if the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such substitution must occur within 90 days from the date the breach was discovered if such 90 day period expires before two years following the Closing Date. In the event that the Sponsor elects to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04, the Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the Sponsor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, as appropriate, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the original Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, an Assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.01. No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution, to the extent received by the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Master Servicer and remitted by the Master Servicer to the Sponsor on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the Monthly Payment due on a Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the Sponsor shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Depositor shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, the Sponsor shall be deemed to have made the representations and warranties with respect to the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan contained in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement as of the date of substitution, and the Depositor shall be deemed to have made with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit I hereof (other than representations (xiv), (xvi), (xxix) and (xxxiii) through (xli)). In connection with the substitution of one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (the “Substitution Adjustment”), if any, by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (in each case after application of the principal portion of the Monthly Payments due in the month of substitution that are to be distributed to Certificateholders in the month of substitution). The Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the Sponsor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to provide the Master Servicer on the day of substitution for immediate deposit into the Custodial Account the amount of such shortfall, without any reimbursement therefor. In accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Sponsor shall give notice in writing to the Trustee of such event, which notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate as to the calculation of such shortfall and by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on REMIC 1, REMIC 2, REMIC 3 or REMIC 4, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on “contributions after the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code or (b) any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2, REMIC 3 or REMIC 4 to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. The costs of any substitution as described above, including any related assignments, opinions or other documentation in connection therewith shall be borne by the Sponsor. Except as expressly set forth herein none of the Trustee or the Master Servicer is under any obligation to discover any breach of the above-mentioned representations and warranties. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Sponsor to cure such breach, purchase or to substitute for such Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders.
