the
related Closing Date, the Seller shall, promptly upon receipt thereof and
in any

Seller
is delayed in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents

the
Seller shall deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if

by the Seller as a true copy, of any such document submitted for recordation
within two (2) weeks after its execution, and shall promptly provide the
original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document
certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete
copy of the original within two (2) weeks of its return from the appropriate
public recording office.

responsible for recording the Assignments of Mortgage and shall be reimbursed
by
the Seller for the costs associated therewith pursuant to the preceding
sentence.
Section
2.08. Quality
Control Procedures.
The
Seller shall have an internal quality control program that verifies, on
a
regular basis, the existence and accuracy of the legal documents, credit
documents, property appraisals, and underwriting decisions. The program
must be
capable of evaluating and monitoring the overall quality of its loan production
and servicing activities. The program is to ensure that the Mortgage Loans
are
originated and serviced in accordance with prudent mortgage banking practices
and accounting principles; guard against dishonest, fraudulent, or negligent
acts; and guard against errors and omissions by officers, employees, or
other
authorized persons.

and Warranties as to Individual Mortgage Loans.
The
Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as to each Mortgage
Loan, as of the related Closing Date as follows:
(a) The
information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including any diskette
or
other related data tapes delivered to the Purchaser, is complete, true
and
correct in all material respects as of the related Cut-off Date;
(b) With
respect to a first lien Mortgage Loan that is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage
creates a first lien or a first priority ownership interest in an estate
in fee
simple in real property securing the related Mortgage Note. With respect

first lien Mortgage Loan that is a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage creates a first
lien
or a first priority ownership interest in the stock ownership and leasehold
rights associated with the cooperative unit securing the related Mortgage
Note;
(c) With
respect to a Second Lien Mortgage Loan that is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage
creates a second lien or a second priority ownership interest in an estate
in
fee simple in real property securing the related Mortgage Note. With respect
to
a Second Lien Mortgage Loan that is a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage creates
a second
lien or a second priority ownership interest in the stock ownership and
leasehold rights associated with the cooperative unit securing the related
Mortgage Note;
(d) All
payments due on or prior to the related Cut-off Date for such Mortgage
Loan have
been made as of the related Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan is not delinquent
thirty (30) days or more in payment and has not been dishonored; there
are no
material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan; the Seller has
not
advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance
of funds
from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property subject to
the
Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required
by the
Mortgage Loan; as to each Mortgage Loan, there has been no more than one
thirty
(30) day delinquency during the immediately preceding twelve-month
period;
(e) All
taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal
charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due
and
owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount
sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and
which
has been assessed but is not yet due and payable;
22
(f) The
terms
of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered
or
modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have been
recorded
to the extent any such recordation is required by law, or, necessary to
protect
the interest of the Purchaser. No instrument of waiver, alteration or
modification has been executed in connection with such Mortgage Loan, and
no
Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof
except
in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption agreement
is
part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification
has
been approved by the issuer of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy
and
title insurance policy, to the extent required by the related
policies;
(g) The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense
of
usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note
or the
Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage
Note or
Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury,
and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been
asserted with respect thereto;
(h) All
buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged
Property
are insured by an insurer acceptable under the Xxxxxx Mae Guides, against
loss
by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided
for
in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides or by Xxxxxxx Mac, as well as all additional
requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. All such standard
hazard policies are in full force and effect and on the date of origination
contained a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors
in
interest and assigns as loss payee and such clause is still in effect and
all
premiums due thereon have been paid. If required by the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood
insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of
the
Federal Insurance Administration which policy conforms to Xxxxxx Xxx and
Xxxxxxx
Mac requirements, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section
4.10 of this Agreement. Such policy was issued by an insurer acceptable
under
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac guidelines. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense,
and upon the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage
to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by state law
or
regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier
of
the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master”
or
“blanket”
hazard
insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy
covering
the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance
policy
is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and
effect,
and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser
upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
The
Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having
engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any
such
policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity
and
binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee,
commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind
has
been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or
other
person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained
or
realized by the Seller;
23
(i) Any
and
all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without
limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures,
consumer
credit protection, equal credit opportunity, disclosure, predatory, fair
lending
or abusive lending laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied
with,
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve
the
violation of any such laws or regulations, and the Seller shall maintain
in its
possession, available for the Purchaser’s inspection, and shall deliver to the
Purchaser upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such
requirements;
(j) The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated, in whole or
in part,
or rescinded, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the
lien of
the Mortgage, in whole or in part nor has any instrument been executed
that
would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission.
The
Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if
the
Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be
in default, nor has the Seller waived any default resulting from any action
or
inaction by the Mortgagor;
(k) With
respect to any first lien Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid,
subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property
and,
with respect to any Second Lien Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage is
a valid,
subsisting, enforceable and perfected second lien on the Mortgaged Property,
including for Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans, all buildings on
the
Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing,
heating and air conditioning systems affixed to such buildings, and all
additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to
the
foregoing securing the Mortgage Note’s original principal balance. The Mortgage
and the Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any security interest
or
other interest or right thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse
claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first or second
lien, as
applicable, of the Mortgage subject only to (1) with respect to any Second
Lien
Mortgage Loan, the related First Lien, (2) the lien of non-delinquent current
real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (3) covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters
of the
public record as of the date of recording which are acceptable to mortgage
lending institutions generally and either (A) which are referred to or
otherwise
considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan,
or (B)
which do not adversely affect the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property
as
set forth in such appraisal, and (4) other matters to which like properties
are
commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of
the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment,
value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement,
chattel
mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection
with the
Mortgage Loan establishes and creates (1) with respect to any first lien
Mortgage Loan, a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien
and
first priority security interest and (2) with respect to any Second Lien
Mortgage Loan, a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected second lien
and
second priority security interest, in each case, on the property described
therein, and the Seller has the full right to sell and assign the same
to the
Purchaser;
(l) The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each
is the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in
all
respects in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be
limited
by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of
general
application affecting the rights of creditors generally and the equitable
remedy
of specific performance and by general equitable principles. All parties
to the
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter
into the
Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the related
Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage have been duly and
properly
executed by such parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation,
negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken
place
on the part of Seller, the Mortgagor or any other party involved in the
origination of the Mortgage Loan. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have
been
fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder,
and
any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site
improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have
been
complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing
the
Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor
is
not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage
Note or
related Mortgage;
24
(m) The
Seller or its Affiliate (or with respect to MERS Mortgage Loans, MERS on
behalf
of the Seller or its Affiliate) is the sole owner of record and holder
of the
Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note, and
upon
recordation the Purchaser or its designee will be the owner of record of
the
Mortgage and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note, and upon
the sale
of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser, the Seller will retain the Servicing
File
in trust for the Purchaser only for the purpose of servicing and supervising
the
servicing of the Mortgage Loan. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment
to the Purchaser on the related Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan, including
the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not subject to an assignment or pledge,
and
the Seller had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof
and
had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser
free and
clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security
interest and has the full right and authority subject to no interest or
participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign
the
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of the
Mortgage
Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any
encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim
or
security interest. The Seller intends to relinquish all rights to possess,
control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except for the purposes of servicing
the
Mortgage Loan as set forth in this Agreement. After the related Closing
Date,
the Seller will have no right to modify or alter the terms of the sale
of the
Mortgage Loan and the Seller will have no obligation or right to repurchase
the
Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in
this
Agreement;
(n) Each
Mortgage Loan that is not a Co-op Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title
insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance
acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable
to
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction
where
the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions
contained
in (k)(1), (2), (3) and (4) above) the Seller, its successors and assigns,
as to
the first or second priority lien, as applicable, of the Mortgage in the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. Where required by applicable
state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to
choose
the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. The Seller, its successors
and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, such
title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed to the Purchaser
or
the assignment to the Purchaser of the Seller’s interest therein does not
require the consent of or notification to the insurer and such lender’s title
insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force
and
effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter. No claims have been made
under
such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related
Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything
which
would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including
without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful
compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained
or
realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful
items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller;
25
(o) There
is
no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the
Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage
of
time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would
constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration;
and
neither the Seller nor, to the Seller’s knowledge, any prior mortgagee has
waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration.
With
respect to each Second Lien Mortgage Loan, (i) the First Lien is in full
force
and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
existing under such prior mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii)
no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any
grace
or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event
of
acceleration thereunder, and either (A) the prior mortgage contains a provision
which allows or (B) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the Second
Lien
Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity
to
cure any default by payment in full or otherwise under the prior
mortgage;
(p) There
are
no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor
or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise
to
such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be
liens
prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage, which are not insured
against by the title insurance policy referenced in paragraph (n)
above;
(q) All
improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining
the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries
and
building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within
the
project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are
insured
against by the title insurance policy referred to in clause (n) above and
all
improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision
laws and ordinances;
(r) The
Mortgage Loan was originated by or for the Seller. The Mortgage Loan complies
with the terms, conditions and requirements of the Underwriting Standards
in all
material respects. The Mortgage Notes and Mortgages (exclusive of any riders)
are on forms generally acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Mortgage
Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate set forth in the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule, and Monthly Payments under the Mortgage Note are
due and
payable on the first day of each month. The Mortgage contains the usual
and
enforceable provisions of the originator at the time of origination for
the
acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan
if the related Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior
written consent of the mortgagee thereunder;
26
(s) The
Mortgaged Property at origination of the related Mortgage Loan was and,
to the
Seller’s knowledge, currently is free of material damage and waste. At
origination of the Mortgage Loan there was, and there currently is, no
proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged
Property;
(t) The
related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as
to render
the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization
against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided
thereby.
Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s
sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the
holder of
the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to
the
Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available
to the
Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property
at
a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage subject to applicable
federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy
and
right of redemption;
(u) If
the
Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified
if required under applicable law to act as such, has been properly designated
and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses,
except as may be required by local law, are or will become payable by the
Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection
with a
trustee’s sale or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(v) The
Mortgage File contains an appraisal (or other valuation method as indicated
on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and otherwise acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae
or
Xxxxxxx Mac for mortgage loans that have “DU” underwriter or loan prospector
approval, respectively) of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior
to the
final approval of the mortgage loan application by a Qualified Appraiser.
The
appraisal is in a form acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac;
(w) All
parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee,
assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they
held
and disposed of such interest, were) (A) in compliance with any and all
applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the
Mortgaged
Property is located, and (B) (1) organized under the laws of such state,
or (2)
qualified to do business in such state, or (3) federal savings and loan
associations or national banks or a Federal Home Loan Bank or savings bank
having principal offices in such state, or (4) not doing business in such
state;
(x) The
related Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral
except
the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any
applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in clause
(k)
above and such collateral does not serve as security for any other
obligation;
(y) The
Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments
are
paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established
by the Seller or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source
other
than the Mortgagor nor does it contain any other similar provisions which
may
constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment
mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation
or other
contingent interest feature;
27
(z) The
Mortgagor was not in bankruptcy or insolvent as of the date of origination
of

(aa) Each
Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan has an original term to maturity of not more than
thirty (30) years, with interest calculated and payable in arrears on the
first
day of each month in equal monthly installments of principal and interest.
Except with respect to Interest Only Mortgage Loans, each Mortgage Note
requires
a monthly payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the original principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an
original
term of not more than thirty (30) years and to pay interest at the related
Mortgage Interest Rate; provided, however, in the case of an Interest Only
Mortgage Loan, after the interest-only period, payments will be sufficient
to
amortize with respect to the life of the Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan
contains terms or provisions which would result in negative amortization.
No
Mortgage Loan is a Balloon Mortgage Loan;
(bb) If
a
Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than 80%, the portion of the principal
balance
of such Mortgage Loan in excess of the portion of the Appraisal Value of
the
Mortgaged Property required by Xxxxxx Mae, is and will be insured as to
payment
defaults by a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer.
All provisions of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy have been and
are being
complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums
due
thereunder have been paid. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and
no
state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial
of,
or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection
therewith. The mortgage interest rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth
on the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance
premium;
(cc) The
Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording
under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is
located;
(dd) As
to
Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans and that are not secured by an

real
property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a
townhouse, or a two-to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium
unit
in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development
or
a de minimis planned unit development, provided,
however,
that no
residence or dwelling is a mobile home, log home, geodesic dome or other
unique
property type. As of the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged
Property was used for commercial purposes, and, since the date of origination
no
portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial purposes,
except
as permitted under the Underwriting Standards.
In the
case of any Mortgaged Properties that are manufactured homes (a “Manufactured
Home Mortgage Loan”),
(i)
such Manufactured Home Mortgage Loan conforms with the applicable Xxxxxx
Xxx or
Xxxxxxx Mac requirements regarding mortgage loans related to manufactured
dwellings, (ii) the related manufactured dwelling is permanently affixed

land, (iii) the related manufactured dwelling and the related land are
subject
to a Mortgage properly filed in the appropriate public recording office

on
which such dwelling is located, and (v) such Manufactured Home Mortgage
Loan is
(x) a qualified mortgage under Section 860G(a)(3)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and (y) secured by manufactured
housing treated as a single family residence under Section 25(e)(10) of
the
Code. As
of the
date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property was used for
commercial purposes, and since the date of origination, no portion of the
Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial purposes; provided, that
Mortgaged Properties which contain a home office shall not be considered
as
being used for commercial purposes as long as the Mortgaged Property has
not
been altered for commercial purposes and is not storing any chemicals or
raw
materials other than those commonly used for homeowner repair, maintenance
and/or household purposes;
28
(ee) Except
with respect to Interest Only Mortgage Loans, principal payments on the
Mortgage
Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after the funds were disbursed
in
connection with such Mortgage Loan;
(ff) No
Mortgage Loan imposes a Prepayment Penalty;
(gg) As
of the
date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property was lawfully
occupied under applicable law, and all inspections, licenses and certificates
required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of
the
Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same,
including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting
certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate
authorities;
(hh) If
the
Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit development
(other
than a de minimis planned unit development), or stock in a cooperative
housing
corporation, such condominium, cooperative or planned unit development
project
meets the Seller’s eligibility requirements as set forth in Underwriting
Standards;
(ii) There
is
no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property
in
which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue;
there is no violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation with
respect
to the Mortgage Property; and, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, nothing
further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each
such law,
rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of
said
property;
(jj) The
related Mortgagor has not notified the Seller, and the Seller has no knowledge
of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers
Civil Relief Act or other similar state statute;
29
(kk) No
action
has been taken or failed to be taken by the Seller on or prior to the related
Closing Date which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial
of,
or defense to coverage under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (including,
without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit
or
reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the
loss
otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions,
representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Seller,
or for
any other reason under such coverage;
(ll) Each
Mortgage Loan has been serviced in all material respects in compliance
with
Accepted Servicing Practices;
(mm) With
respect to each Co-op Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid, enforceable
and
subsisting first security interest on the related cooperative shares securing
the related cooperative note, subject only to (a) liens of the cooperative
for
unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the
cooperative’s payments for its blanket mortgage, current and future real
property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments
to
which like collateral is commonly subject and (b) other matters to which
like
collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the
benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Security Agreement.
There are no liens against or security interest in the cooperative shares
relating to each Co-op Loan (except for unpaid maintenance, assessments
and
other amounts owed to the related cooperative which individually or in
the
aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on such Co-op Loan),
which
have priority over the Seller’s security interest in such cooperative
shares;
(nn) With
respect to each Co-op Loan, a search for filings of financing statements
has
been made by a company competent to make the same, which company is acceptable
to Xxxxxx Xxx and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the

would
materially and adversely affect the Co-op Loan;
(oo) With
respect to each Co-op Loan, the related cooperative corporation that owns

corporation” within the meaning of Section 216 of the Code, is held by a person

material compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws which,
if not
complied with, could have a material adverse effect on the Mortgaged
Property;
(pp) With
respect to each Co-op Loan, there is no prohibition against pledging the
shares
of the cooperative corporation or assigning the Co-op Lease;
(qq) The
Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of

examined
by a federal or state authority;
30
(rr) With
respect to any ground lease to which a Mortgaged Property may be subject:
(i) a

modifications and supplements thereto is included in the Servicing File,
and the
Mortgagor is the owner of a valid and subsisting leasehold interest under
such
ground lease; (ii) such ground lease is in full force and effect, unmodified

under,
and will not contravene any provision of or cause a default under, such
ground
lease; (ix) the ground lease term extends beyond the maturity date of the
related Mortgage Loan; and (x) the Purchaser has the right to cure defaults
on
the ground lease;
(ss) With
respect to any broker fees collected and paid on any of the Mortgage Loans,
all
broker fees have been properly assessed to the borrower and no claims will
arise
as to broker fees that are double charged and for which the borrower would
be
entitled to reimbursement;

Mortgage Loan constitutes a “qualified mortgage” under
Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section

(eee) No
Mortgagor was required to purchase any single premium credit insurance
policy
(e.g. life, disability, property, accident, unemployment, or health insurance
product) or debt cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the
extension of credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single-premium credit
insurance policy (e.g. life, mortgage, disability, property, accident,
unemployment or health insurance product) in connection with the origination
of
the Mortgage Loan. No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase
single premium credit insurance policies or debt cancellation agreements
as part
of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage
Loan;
(fff) The
origination and servicing practices with respect to each Mortgage Note
and
Mortgage have been legal and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations,
and in all material respects proper and prudent in the mortgage origination
and
servicing business. With respect to escrow deposits and payments that the
Seller
is entitled to collect, all such payments are in the possession of, or
under the
control of, the Seller, and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith
for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made.
All
escrow payments have been collected and are being maintained in full compliance
with applicable state and federal law and the provisions of the related
Mortgage
Note and Mortgage. As to any Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an escrow,
escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established
in
an amount sufficient to pay for every escrowed item that remains unpaid
and has
been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or other

future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the applicable Cut-off Date
have
been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the
Mortgage,
and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest
rate
and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated
principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by
a title
insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the Mortgagee’s
consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae
and
Xxxxxxx Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;
(jjj) There
is
no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation
of the
Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire,
earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty
so as
to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for
the
Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended and each
Mortgaged
Property is in good repair. There have not been any condemnation proceedings
with respect to the Mortgaged Property and the Seller has no knowledge
of any
such proceedings in the future;
(kkk) No
Mortgage Loan was made in connection with the construction (other than
a
“construct-to-perm” loan) or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or
facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property (other than
a tax
deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the Code);
(lll) If
applicable, with respect to each Mortgage, the Seller has within the last
twelve
months (unless such Mortgage was originated within such twelve month period)
analyzed the required Escrow Payments for each Mortgage and adjusted the
amount
of such payments so that, assuming all required payments are timely made,
any
deficiency will be eliminated on or before the first anniversary of such
analysis, or any overage will be refunded to the Mortgagor, in accordance
with
RESPA and any other applicable law;
(mmm) As
to
each consumer report (as defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Public
Law
91-508) or other credit information furnished by the Seller to the Purchaser,
the Seller has full right and authority and is not precluded by law or
contract
from furnishing such information to the Purchaser and the Purchaser is
not
precluded from furnishing the same to any subsequent or prospective purchaser
of
such Mortgage. The Seller has and shall in its capacity as servicer, for
each
Mortgage Loan, fully furnished, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting
Act
and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g.,
favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian
and
Trans Union Credit Information Company (three of the credit repositories),
on a
monthly basis;
(nnn) If
the
Mortgage Loan is secured by a leasehold estate, (1) the ground lease is
assignable or transferable; (2) the ground lease will not terminate earlier
than
five years after the maturity date of the Mortgage Loan; (3) the ground
lease
does not provide for termination of the lease in the event of lessee’s default
without the Mortgagee being entitled to receive written notice of, and
a
reasonable opportunity to cure the default; (4) the ground lease permits
the
mortgaging of the related Mortgaged Property; (5) the ground lease protects
the
Mortgagee’s interests in the event of a property condemnation; (6) all ground
lease rents, other payments, or assessments that have become due have been
paid;
and (7) the use of leasehold estates for residential properties is a widely
accepted practice in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is
located;
33
(ooo) Each
Mortgage Loan is covered by a paid in full, life of loan, tax service contract
issued by First American Real Estate Tax Service, and such contract is
transferable;
(ppp) The
Seller’s decision to originate any mortgage loan or to deny any mortgage loan
application is an independent decision based upon Seller’s underwriting
guidelines, and is in no way made as a result of Purchaser’s decision to
purchase, or not to purchase, or the price Purchaser may offer to pay for,
any
such mortgage loan, if originated;
(qqq) Each
original Mortgage was recorded and all subsequent assignments of the original
Mortgage (other than the assignment to the Purchaser and any Mortgage Loan
for
which the related Mortgage has been recorded in the name of MERS) have
been
recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is necessary
to perfect the lien thereof as against creditors of the Seller, or is in
the
process of being recorded;
(rrr) On
or
prior to the related Closing Date, the Mortgagor has not filed a bankruptcy
petition or has not become the subject of involuntary bankruptcy proceedings
or
has not consented to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it or
to a
receiver being appointed in respect of the related Mortgaged
Property;
(sss) No
Mortgagor with respect to any Mortgage Loan originated on or after August
1,
2004 is required under the Mortgage or Mortgage Note to submit to arbitration
to
resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the mortgage
loan
transaction;
(ttt) The
Seller has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws, executive
orders and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act
of
2001;
(uuu) The
Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents
required to be delivered with respect to each Mortgage Loan pursuant to
Section
2.07 of this Agreement shall be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee
all
in compliance with the specific requirements of Section 2.07. With respect
to
each Mortgage Loan, the Seller will be in possession of a complete Mortgage
File
in compliance with Exhibit
A-1
hereto,
except for such documents as will be delivered to the Purchaser or its
designee;
(vvv) With
respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Minimum Mortgage Interest
Rate is the related Gross Margin;
(www) The
Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect
to the
related Mortgage, Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor, Mortgage File or the related
Mortgagor’s credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private
institutional investors that invest in prime mortgage loans similar to
the
Mortgage Loan to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable
investment;
34
(xxx) With
respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgagor was offered mortgage loan
products
suitable for such Mortgagor and not designed for less creditworthy
borrowers;
(yyy) The
methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage
Loan
employs objective criteria which relate the Mortgagor ’s income, assets and
liabilities (except in the case of loan programs which do not require the
Mortgagor to report the Mortgagor ’s income or assets, such as “no income, no
assets” lending programs or which rely on the Mortgagor ’s representation of the
Mortgagor ’s income, such as “stated income” lending programs) to the proposed
payment and such underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of
the
Mortgagor ’s equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in
approving such credit extension. Such underwriting methodology determined
that
at the time of origination (application/approval) the Mortgagor had the
reasonable ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan;
and
(zzz) No
Mortgagor was charged Points and Fees, whether or not amortized or financed,
greater than 5% of the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan. For purposes
of
this representation, such 5% limitation is calculated in accordance with
Xxxxxx
Mae's anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in the Xxxxxx Mae
Guides
and Points and Fees (x) include origination, underwriting, broker and finder
fees and charges that the Mortgagee imposed as a condition of making the
Mortgage Loan, whether they are paid to the Mortgagee or a third party,
and (y)
exclude bona fide discount points, fees paid for actual services rendered
in
connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan (such as attorneys'
fees,
notaries fees and fees paid for property appraisals, credit reports, surveys,
title examinations and extracts, flood and tax certifications, and home
inspections), the cost of mortgage insurance or credit-risk price adjustments,
the costs of title, hazard, and flood insurance policies, state and local
transfer taxes or fees, escrow deposits for the future payment of taxes
and
insurance premiums, and other miscellaneous fees and charges which miscellaneous
fees and charges, in total, do not exceed 0.25% of the principal amount
of such
Mortgage Loan (collectively, “Points and Fees”). All fees and charges (including
finance charges) and whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to
be
collected in connection with the origination and servicing of each Mortgage
Loan
has been disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with applicable
state and federal law and regulation.

3.03. Repurchase;
Substitution.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth
in
Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and
delivery
of the Mortgage File to the Purchaser, or its designee, and shall inure
to the
benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified
endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination,
or lack of examination, of any Mortgage Loan Document. Upon discovery by
the
Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations
and
warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage
Loans or the interest of the Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others.
The
Seller shall have a period of ninety (90) days from the earlier of its
discovery
or its receipt of notice of any such breach within which to correct or
cure such
breach. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that (except as provided
in the
previous sentence with respect to certain breaches for which no substitution
is
permitted) if any such breach is not corrected or cured within such ninety
(90)
day period, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option, either repurchase such
Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price or substitute a mortgage loan for
the
Defective Mortgage Loan as provided below. In the event that any such breach
shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01,
and such
breach is not cured within ninety (90) of the earlier of either discovery
by or
notice to the Seller of such breach, all affected Mortgage Loans shall,
at the
option of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase
Price.
Any such repurchase shall be accomplished by deposit in the Custodial Account
of
the amount of the Repurchase Price.
35
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraph, any breach of any representation or warranty set
forth
in any of clause (i), (dd), (ff), (tt), (ddd), (eee), (mmm), (sss), (xxx),
(yyy)
or (zzz) of Section 3.02 shall automatically be deemed to have had a material
and adverse effect on the Purchaser. With respect to each such affected
Mortgage
Loan, the Seller shall, within sixty (60) days after the earlier of either
discovery by, or notice to, the Seller of such breach, repurchase such
Mortgage
Loan at the Repurchase Price.
If
pursuant to the foregoing provisions the Seller repurchases a Mortgage
Loan that
is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall either (i) cause MERS to execute
and
deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the
Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed
from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and
regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the Seller as
the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
If
the
Seller is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section
3.03
as a result of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set
forth
in Section 3.02, the Seller may, with the Purchaser’s prior consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, within 180 days from the related
Closing Date, remove such defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this
Agreement and substitute another mortgage loan for such defective Mortgage
Loan,
in lieu of repurchasing such defective Mortgage Loan. Any substitute Mortgage
Loan shall (a) have a principal balance at the time of substitution not
in
excess of the principal balance of the defective Mortgage Loan (the amount
of
any difference, plus one month’s interest thereon at the Mortgage Interest Rate
borne by the defective Mortgage Loan, being paid by the Seller and deemed
to be
a Principal Prepayment to be deposited by the Seller in the Custodial Account),
(b) have a Mortgage Interest Rate not less than, and not more than one
percentage point greater than, the Mortgage Interest Rate of the removed
Mortgage Loan, (c) have a remaining term to stated maturity not later than,
and

Purchaser, in material compliance with the representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement and described in Section 3.02 as of the date
of
substitution.
The
Seller shall amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal
of the removed Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and the substitution of
such
substitute Mortgage Loan therefor. Upon such amendment, the Purchaser shall
review the Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute Mortgage
Loan. The Monthly Payment on a substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due
Date in
the month of substitution shall be the property of the Seller and the Monthly
Payment on the Defective Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made
due on
the such date shall be the property of the Purchaser.
36
It
is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller set forth in this
Section 3.03 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage
Loan,
and to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.01, constitutes the sole
remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations
and warranties. If the Seller fails to repurchase or substitute for a defective
Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.03, or fails to cure a
defective
Mortgage Loan to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction in accordance with this
Section 3.03, or to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.01, that
failure
shall, upon compliance by the Purchaser with the next to the last paragraph
of
this Section 3.03, be an Event of Default and the Purchaser shall be entitled
to
pursue all available remedies. No provision of this paragraph shall affect
the
rights of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement for cause, as set forth
in
Sections 8.01 and 9.01.
Any
cause
of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of the breach of
any
representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall accrue
as to
any Mortgage Loan upon (i) the earlier of discovery of such breach by the
Seller
or notice thereof by the Purchaser to the Seller, (ii) failure by the Seller
to
cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and
(iii)
demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with this
Agreement.
In
the
event that any Mortgage Loan is held by a REMIC, notwithstanding any contrary
provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is
not in
default or as to which no default is imminent, Purchaser may, in connection
with
any repurchase or substitution of a Defective Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this
Section 3.03, require that the Seller deliver, at the Seller’s expense, an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such repurchase or substitution will
not
(i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of such REMIC
(as defined in Section 860F of the Code) or otherwise subject the REMIC
to tax,
or (ii) cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time.
Section
3.04. Repurchase
of Mortgage Loans with First Payment Defaults.
If
a
Mortgagor is thirty (30) days or more delinquent with respect to the first
Monthly Payment due to the Purchaser on the related Mortgage Loan immediately
following the related Closing Date, the Seller, at the Purchaser’s option, shall
promptly repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser within thirty
(30)
calendar days’ of receipt of written notice from the Purchaser. Any repurchase
pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall be effected in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 3.03 hereof, however, any such repurchase
shall
be made at the Repurchase Price.
Section
3.05. Purchase
Price Protection.
With
respect to any Mortgage Loan that prepays in full during the first sixty
(60)
days following the related Closing Date, the Seller shall reimburse the
Purchaser the amount (if any) by which the Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser
to the Seller exceeded 100% of the outstanding scheduled principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date, within thirty (30) days
of
such payoff. Upon any assignment of a Mortgage Loan and/or this Agreement,
the
Purchaser may at its option retain its rights under this Section 3.05
notwithstanding such assignment.

ARTICLE
IV
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
Section
4.01. The
Seller to Act as Servicer.
The
Seller, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer
the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing
Practices, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through
subservicers or agents, to do or cause to be done any and all things in
connection with such servicing and administration which the Seller may
deem
necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement
and with
Accepted Servicing Practices. The Seller shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans through the exercise of the same care that it customarily
employs
for its own account. The Seller may perform its servicing responsibilities
through agents or independent contractors, but shall not thereby be released
from any of its responsibilities hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to
the
contrary, the Seller may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement
to one
or more of its Affiliates without regard to any of the requirements of
this
Section; provided,
however,
that
the Seller shall not be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder
by
virtue of such delegation.
Except
as
set forth in this Agreement, the Seller shall service the Mortgage Loans
in
compliance with the servicing provisions of the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides (special
servicing option), which include, but are not limited to, provisions regarding
the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan payments,
the
payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance of hazard
insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of mortgage impairment
insurance, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance,
inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance of
Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies, insurance claims, the title, management of
REO
Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation
reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property,
the
transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Files, annual
statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event of
any
conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions
of this Agreement and any of the servicing provisions of the Xxxxxx Mae
Guides,
the provisions of this Agreement shall control and be binding upon the
Purchaser
and the Seller.
Consistent
with the terms of this Agreement, the Seller may waive, modify or vary
any term
of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any such term or
in any
manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Seller’s reasonable and
prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence
is
not materially adverse to the Purchaser, provided,
however,
that
unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan, or
such
default is, in the judgment of the Seller, imminent, and the Seller has
obtained
the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Seller shall not permit
any
modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would which change
the
Mortgage Interest Rate, forgive the payment of any principal or interest,
reduce
or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments
of
principal), make any future advances or extend the final maturity date,
as the
case may be, with respect to such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such
modification that permits the deferral of interest or principal payments
on any
Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding
the
Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest payment
has
been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in
accordance with Section 4.04, the difference between (a) the otherwise
scheduled
Monthly Payment and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Seller shall
be
entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all
other
advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Seller shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered
by
the Purchaser when the Seller believes it appropriate and reasonable in
its best
judgment, to prepare, execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction
or
cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the
Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain
a
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties,
and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of
the
Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.13. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Seller may not enter into a forbearance agreement
or
similar arrangement with respect to any Mortgage Loan which runs more than
180
days after the first delinquent Due Date without the prior consent of the
Purchaser. Any such agreement shall be approved by any applicable holder
of a
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if required.
38
The
Seller is authorized and empowered by the Purchaser, in its own name, when
the
Seller believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment to register any
Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, or cause the removal from the registration of
any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Purchaser, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable
instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage
in the
name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Purchaser and its successors and
assigns.
With
respect to requests by the Seller to modify the terms of any Mortgage Loan
or to
enter into any forbearance agreement, the Purchaser shall be deemed to
have
given consent in connection with a particular matter if the Purchaser does
not
affirmatively grant or deny consent within twenty-one (21) calendar days
from
the date the Purchaser receives a written request for consent for such
matter
from the Seller.
The
Seller shall accurately and fully report its borrower credit files related
to
the Mortgage Loans to Equifax, Transunion and Experian in a timely
manner.
Section
4.02. Collection
of Mortgage Loan Payments.
Continuously
from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be serviced
subject to this Agreement, the Seller will proceed diligently to collect
all
payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and
payable
and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this
Agreement, Accepted Servicing Practices, and the terms and provisions of
related
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as
it
follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans
and held
for its own account. Further, the Seller will take special care in ascertaining
and estimating annual escrow payments, and all other charges that, as provided
in the Mortgage, will become due and payable, so that the installments
payable
by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they
become
due and payable.
39
Section
4.03. Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The
Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with the procedures
that the Seller would use in servicing loans for its own account, Accepted
Servicing Practices, any Primary Mortgage Insurance and the best interest
of
Purchaser, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership
of
properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue
in
default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection
of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 4.01. Foreclosure or comparable
proceedings shall be initiated pursuant to Xxxxxx Xxx guidelines and applicable
state law with respect to Mortgaged Properties for which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. The Seller
shall
use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner
as
will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking
into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings.
The
foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which the Mortgaged
Property shall have suffered damage, the Seller shall not be required to
expend
its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine
in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds
of
liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser after reimbursement
to
itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable
by the
Seller through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related
Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. The Seller shall notify
the
Purchaser in writing (which may be by electronic mail) of the commencement
of
foreclosure proceedings. The Seller shall be responsible for all costs
and
expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions; provided,
however,
that it
shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as
contemplated in Section 4.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained
herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu
of
foreclosure, in the event the Seller has reasonable cause to believe that
a
Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or
wastes,
or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review
of
such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted
by a
qualified inspector at the Purchaser’s expense. Upon completion of the
inspection, the Seller shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written
report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental
inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Seller shall proceed
with respect to the Mortgaged Property.
In
the
event that a Mortgage Loan becomes part of a REMIC, and becomes REO Property,
such property shall be disposed of by the Seller, with the consent of the
Purchaser as required pursuant to this Agreement, within three (3) years
after
becoming an REO Property, unless the Seller provides to the trustee under
such
REMIC an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding of such REO
Property
subsequent to three years after its becoming REO Property, will not result
in
the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F
of the Code, or cause the transaction to fail to qualify as a REMIC at
any time
that certificates are outstanding. The Seller shall manage, conserve, protect
and operate each such REO Property for the certificateholders solely for
the
purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause
such
property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, or any “net income from foreclosure property”
which is subject to taxation under the REMIC provisions of the Code. Pursuant
to
its efforts to sell such property, the Seller shall either itself or through
an
agent selected by the Seller, protect and conserve such property in the
same
manner and to such an extent as is customary in the locality where such
property
is located. Additionally, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser or any
master
servicer with information sufficient to perform the tax withholding and
reporting related to Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code.
40
Section
4.04. Establishment
of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.
The
Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant
to
each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general
assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts
with a
commercial bank, a savings bank or a savings and loan association (which
may be
a depository Affiliate of the Seller) which meets the guidelines set forth
by
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac as an eligible depository institution for custodial
accounts. Each Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited
in a Custodial Account may be drawn on in accordance with Section 4.05.
The
creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement
in
the form shown in Exhibit
B
hereto.
The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser
on the
initial Closing Date, and upon the request of any subsequent
purchaser.
The
Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, within
one (1)
Business Day of receipt thereof, and retain therein the following payments
and
collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received
by it prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto,
other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due
on or
before the Cut-off Date:
(i) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the
Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the Mortgage
Loan Remittance Rate;
(iii) all
Liquidation Proceeds;
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Seller in connection with any REO
Property pursuant to Section 4.13;
(v) all
Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant
to
Sections 4.08, 4.10 and 4.11, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow
Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property
or
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices,
the
loan documents or applicable law;
41
(vi) all
Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released
to
the Mortgagor in accordance with the Seller’s normal servicing procedures, the
loan documents or applicable law;
(vii) any
Monthly Advances;
(viii) Compensating
Interest, if any, for the month of distribution. Such deposit shall be
made from
the Seller’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor;
(ix) all
proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased in accordance with Sections
3.03;
(x) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Seller pursuant to Section 4.11
in
connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy,
such deposit shall be made from the Seller’s own funds, without reimbursement
therefor; and
(xi) any
amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section
4.01 or Section 6.02.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive,
it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of
the
foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, assumption fees
and
other ancillary fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not
be
deposited by the Seller in the Custodial Account.
The
Seller may invest the funds in the Custodial Account in Eligible Investments
designated in the name of the Seller for the benefit of the Seller, which
shall
mature not later than the Business Day next preceding the Remittance Date
next
following the date of such investment (except that (A) any investment in
the
Eligible Institution with which the Custodial Account is maintained may
mature
on such Remittance Date and (B) any other investment may mature on such
Remittance Date if the Seller shall advance funds on such Remittance Date,
pending receipt thereof to the extent necessary to make distributions to
the
Purchaser) and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to maturity.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and above, all income and
gain
realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Seller
and
shall be subject to withdrawal by the Seller from the Custodial Account
pursuant
to Section 4.05(iv). The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any
such
investments shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Seller out
of its
own funds immediately as realized.
Section
4.05. Permitted
Withdrawals from the Custodial Account.
The
Seller may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for
the
following purposes:
(i) to
make
payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for
in
Section 5.01;
42
(ii) to
reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Seller’s right to reimburse itself
pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the
related
Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing
Fee) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was
made, it
being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Seller’s right
thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where
the
Seller is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 3.03,
the
Seller’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the
Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such Section and all other
amounts
required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage
Loan;
(iii) to
reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unpaid Servicing
Fees, the Seller’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii)
with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related proceeds from
Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and REO
Disposition Proceeds;
(iv) to
pay to
itself as part of its servicing compensation: (a) any interest earned on
funds
or any investment earnings in the Custodial Account net of any losses on
such
investments (all such amounts to be withdrawn monthly not later than each
Remittance Date), and (b) to the extent not otherwise retained, the Servicing
Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest with respect
to
a particular Mortgage Loan;
(v) to
pay to
itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased pursuant
to
Section 3.03 all amounts received thereon and not distributed as of the
date on
which the related Repurchase Price is determined;
(vi) to
reimburse itself for unreimbursed Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances
to the
extent not fully reimbursed pursuant to Section 4.05(ii) or (iii)
above;
(vii) to
transfer funds to another Eligible Account in accordance with Section 4.09
hereof;
(viii) to
remove
funds inadvertently placed in the Custodial Account by the Seller or for
which
amounts previously deposited are returned unpaid by the related Mortgagor’s
banking institution; and
(ix) to
clear
and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this
Agreement.
Section
4.06. Establishment
of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Accounts.
The
Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant
to
each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart
from any
of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one
or more
Escrow Accounts. Each Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds
deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Seller in accordance
with
Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by
a letter
agreement in the form shown in Exhibit
C.
The
original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on
the
initial Closing Date, and upon request to any subsequent purchaser.
43
The
Seller shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis,
within
two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof, and retain therein:
(i) all
Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose
of
effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms
of this
Agreement;
(ii) all
Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair
of any
Mortgaged Property; and
(iii) all
Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient
to
cover escrow disbursements.
The
Seller shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such
payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes
as
shall be as set forth or in accordance with Section 4.07. The Seller shall
be
entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in an Escrow Account
by
the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required
by law
to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Seller
shall
pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that such
Escrow
Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient
for such purposes.
Section
4.07. Permitted
Withdrawals from the Escrow Account.
Withdrawals
from the Escrow Account may be made by the Seller only:
(i) to
effect
timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, fire and hazard insurance
premiums, condominium assessments and comparable items for the related
Mortgage;
(ii) to
reimburse the Seller for any Servicing Advance made by the Seller with
respect
to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related
Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments
thereunder;
(iii) to
refund
to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages;
(iv) for
transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement;
(v) for

44
(vi) to
pay to
the Seller, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest
paid
on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account;
(vii) to
clear
and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this
Agreement;
(viii) to
pay to
the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in accordance
with
Section 4.06;
(ix) to
remove
funds inadvertently placed in the Escrow Account by the Seller or for which
amounts previously deposited are returned unpaid by the related Mortgagor’s
banking institution; and
(x) to
clear
and terminate the Escrow Account upon the termination of this
Agreement.
Section
4.08. Payment
of Taxes, Insurance and Charges; Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance;
Collections Thereunder.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall maintain accurate records
reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates
and other
charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and
the
status of primary mortgage insurance premiums (if any) and fire and hazard
insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the
payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment
thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time
appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such
purpose
deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated
and accumulated by the Seller in amounts sufficient for such purposes,
as
allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent
that
the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Seller shall determine
that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first
become
due. The Seller assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all
ground
rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges and shall effect
timely
payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance
in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make
advances from its own funds to effect such payments subject to its ability
to
recover such Servicing Advances pursuant to Sections 4.05(ii), (iii) and
(vi).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller reasonably determines that
any such
Servicing Advance would not be recoverable from amounts collected on the
related
Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall have no obligation to make such Servicing
Advance. Any such determination shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate
delivered to the Purchaser indicating the reasons therefor.
The
Seller will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each first lien
Mortgage
Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be
maintained until the Loan-to-Value ratio of the related Mortgage Loan is
reduced
to the amount for which Xxxxxx Mae no longer requires such insurance to
be
maintained. The Seller will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy in effect on the related Closing Date that is required
to be
kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is obtained from
and
maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Seller shall not take any action
which
would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Seller would have
been
covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement
entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the Seller
shall
promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy,
if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with
the
terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by
such
insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is
terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability,
the
Seller shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as
provided
above.
45
In
connection with its activities as servicer, the Seller agrees to prepare
and
present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under
any
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with
the
terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to
take
such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary
Mortgage
Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted first lien Mortgage Loan. Pursuant
to
Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Seller under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.
Section
4.09. Transfer
of Accounts.
The
Seller may transfer a Custodial Account or an Escrow Account to a different
Eligible Account from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon
providing notice of the transfer to the Purchaser.
Section
4.10. Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance.
The
Seller shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard
insurance with extended coverage as is acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx
Mac
and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an
amount
which is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the
improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater of (a) the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) an amount such
that
the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or
the
mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If required by the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each Mortgage Loan shall be covered
by a
flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines
of the
Federal Insurance Administration in effect with an insurance carrier acceptable
to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, in an amount representing coverage not less
than
the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan,
(ii)
the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage
Loan and
(iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the
term of
the Mortgage Loan, the Seller determines in accordance with applicable
law and
pursuant to the Xxxxxx Mae Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located
in a
special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered
in
an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection
Act of
1973, as amended, the Seller shall notify the related Mortgagor that the
Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if the related
Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within
forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Seller shall immediately
force
place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf. To the extent the
payment of the related premiums will not, in the Seller’s reasonable
determination, constitute non-recoverable Servicing Advances, the Seller
shall
also maintain on each REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended
coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable
value of
the improvements which are a part of such property, and, to the extent
required
and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended,
flood
insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by the
Seller
under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow
Account
and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO
Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 4.05. It is understood and agreed that no other additional
insurance need be required by the Seller or maintained on property acquired
in
respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to this Agreement, the
Xxxxxx
Xxx Guides or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as
shall at
any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All
such
policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable
to
the Seller and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least
thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in
the
amount or material change in coverage to the Seller. The Seller shall not
interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his
insurance carrier or agent, provided,
however,
that
the Seller shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance
companies
unless such companies are Qualified Insurers.
46
Section
4.11. Maintenance
of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.
In
the
event that the Seller (or an Affiliate of the Seller) shall obtain and
maintain
a blanket policy issued by an issuer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac
insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the
extent
such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required
pursuant
to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section
4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations
as set
forth in Section 4.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy
may
contain a deductible clause, in which case the Seller shall, in the event
that
there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property
or REO
Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been
a loss
which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial
Account
the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such
deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer of the
Mortgage
Loans, the Seller agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Purchaser,
claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance
with the
terms of such policy. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Seller shall cause
to
be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and
shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a statement from the insurer
thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially
modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the
Purchaser.
Section
4.12. Maintenance
of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.
47
The
Seller shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and
an errors
and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies
on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with
regard
to the Mortgage Loans to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating
to
the Mortgage Loans. The Fidelity Bond shall be in the form of a mortgage
banker’s blanket bond and shall protect and insure the Seller against losses,
including forgery, theft, embezzlement and fraud of such persons. The errors
and
omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Seller against losses
arising
out of errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such errors
and
omissions insurance shall also protect and insure the Seller against losses
in
connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required
pursuant
to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without
having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No
provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond or errors and
omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Seller from its duties
and
obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under
any such
bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding
amounts
required by Xxxxxx Xxx in the Xxxxxx Mae Guides or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the
Xxxxxxx
Mac Guides. The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate from
the
surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors
and
omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety
and the
insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be
terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice
to the Purchaser. Upon request by the Purchaser, the Seller shall provide
the
Purchaser with an insurance certificate certifying coverage under this
Section
4.12, and will provide an update to such certificate upon request, or upon
renewal or material modification of coverage.
Section
4.13. Title,
Management and Disposition of REO Property.
In
the
event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure,
by deed
in lieu of foreclosure or other method resulting in full or partial satisfaction
of the related Mortgage, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken
in the
name of the Purchaser or its designee, or in the event the Purchaser or
its
designee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property
in the
state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected
under
the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or
certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons
as
shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Seller,
at the
expense of the Purchaser, from an attorney duly licensed to practice law
in the
state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding
such
title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title
is
being held as nominee for the benefit of the Purchaser.
The
Seller shall notify the Purchaser in accordance with the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides
of
each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition, and thereafter
assume
the responsibility for marketing such REO Property in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Seller shall continue to provide certain
administrative services to the Purchaser relating to such REO Property
as set
forth in this Section 4.13.
The
Seller shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Seller,
and in
accordance with the Xxxxxx Mae Guides manage, conserve, protect and operate
each
REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and
operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same
manner
that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed.
The
Seller shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the
acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected
at least annually thereafter or more frequently as required by the
circumstances. The Seller shall make or cause to be made a written report
of
each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Servicing
File.
48
The
Seller shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon
as
possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within three (3)
years
after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Seller determines,
and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to such effect, that a
longer
period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If
a
longer period than three (3) years is permitted under the foregoing sentence
and
is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Seller shall report monthly
to the
Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property. If
as of
the date title to any REO Property was acquired by the Seller there were
outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to the REO Property,
the Seller shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement from the Purchaser
for
any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances. The disposition of REO Property
shall be carried out by the Seller at such price, and upon such terms and
conditions, as the Seller deems to be in the best interests of the Purchaser.
The Seller shall update the Purchaser from time-to-time as to the status
of each
REO Property.
Section
4.14. Notification
of Maturity Date.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall execute and deliver to
the
Mortgagor any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and
the
terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the maturity
date if
required under applicable law.

and
ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive.

of
Default by the Seller.
49
Section
5.02. Statements
to the Purchaser.
The
Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser an individual loan accounting report,
as

may
reasonably request from time to time.
In
addition, not more than sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar
year, the
Seller shall furnish to each Person who was a Purchaser at any time during
such
calendar year an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of
applicable federal income tax law as to the aggregate of remittances for
the
applicable portion of such year.
Section

Not
later
than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance
Date,
the Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all
Monthly
Payments, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 4.01, which were
due on a
Mortgage Loan on the immediately preceding Due Date and delinquent at the
close
of business on the related Determination Date.
The
Seller’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will
continue through the earlier of: (i) the date of the termination or resignation,
as applicable, of the Seller pursuant to Section 7.04, 8.01 or 9.01 or
(ii) the
date of final disposition and liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan
or any
Mortgaged Property acquired through foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu

the
Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller to
the effect that an officer of the Seller has reviewed the related Servicing
File
and has made the reasonable determination that any additional advances

ARTICLE
VI
GENERAL
SERVICING PROCEDURES
Section
6.01. Assumption
Agreements.
The
Seller shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective
conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute
conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains
or
is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise
its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale”
clause to the extent permitted by law; provided,
however,
that
the Seller shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the
terms
of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would
impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy, if any. If the Seller reasonably believes it is unable
under
applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Seller will enter into
an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property
has been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable
state
law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. If the Seller is prohibited
under
applicable law from (a) entering into an assumption agreement with the
Person to
whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed
or
(b) requiring the original Mortgagor to remain liable under the Mortgage
Note,
the Seller, with the prior consent of the primary mortgage insurer, if
any, is
authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the
person
to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed
pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and
such
Person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related
Mortgage
Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of
an
assumption agreement.
51
In
connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller
shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Xxxxxx Xxx
Guides.
With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage
Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note and the amount of the
Monthly
Payment may not be changed. If the credit of the proposed transferee does
not
meet such underwriting criteria, the Seller diligently shall, to the extent
permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate
the maturity of the Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall notify the Purchaser
that
any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed
by
forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability
or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage
File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage
File to
the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part
thereof. All fees collected by the Seller for entering into an assumption
or
substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Seller as additional
servicing compensation.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this
Agreement, the Seller shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any
other
violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a
Mortgage
Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Seller may be restricted
by
law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section
6.01, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged
Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption
or
substitution of liability agreement.
Section
6.02. Satisfaction
of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Seller of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary
for
such purposes, the Seller will immediately notify the Purchaser by a
certification, which certification shall include a statement to the effect
that
all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment
which are
required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04
have
been or will be so deposited, of a Servicing Officer and shall request
delivery
to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser. The Purchaser
shall no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of such certification
and request, release or cause to be released to the Seller, the related
Mortgage
Loan Documents and, upon its receipt of such documents, the Seller shall
promptly prepare and deliver to the Purchaser the requisite satisfaction
or
release. No later than three (3) Business Days following its receipt of
such
satisfaction or release, the Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered,
to the Seller the release or satisfaction properly executed by the owner
of
record of the applicable Mortgage or its duly appointed attorney in fact.
If
such Mortgage Loan is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller is authorized to
cause
the removal from the registration on the MERS System of such Mortgage and
to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Purchaser, any and all instruments
of
satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release.
52
In
the
event the Seller satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained
payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it
otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the Mortgage
Loan
Documents, the Seller, upon written demand, shall remit within two (2)
Business
Days to the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account.
From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage
Loans, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy, the Purchaser shall, upon request of the Seller and delivery
to the Purchaser of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer,
release
the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser to the Seller. Such
servicing receipt shall obligate the Seller to return such Mortgage Loan
Documents to the Purchaser when the need therefor by the Seller no longer
exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation
Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial
Account or the Mortgage File has been delivered to an attorney, or to a
public
trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating
or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the
Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Seller
has
delivered to the Purchaser a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying
as to
the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File was delivered
and
the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate
of a
Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing
receipt shall be released by the Purchaser to the Seller.
Section
6.03. Servicing
Compensation.
As
compensation for its services hereunder, the Seller shall be entitled to
the
Servicing Fee. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption
fees,
as provided in Section 6.01, late payment charges, interest and investment
earning on funds on deposit in the Custodial Account and Escrow Account
(to the
extent provided for herein) and other ancillary income shall be retained
by the
Seller to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account.
The
Seller shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection
with
its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor except as specifically provided for herein.
Section
6.04. Annual
Statement as to Compliance.
53
On
or
prior to March 15th of each year for each year in which the Purchaser or
an
Affiliate of the Purchaser is required to file an annual report on Form
10-K in
connection with any Securitization Transfer with the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”),
and
upon request of the Purchaser for any other year, the Seller will deliver
to the
Purchaser an Officers’ Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that
(i) a review of the activities of the Seller during the preceding calendar
year
and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’
supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such
review, the Seller has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement
throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment
of any
such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officers and
the
nature and status thereof. The first Officer’s Certificate delivered by the
Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section shall be delivered on
or before
March 15, 2005, or such other date as may be required pursuant to the first
sentence of this Section 6.04. Copies of such statement shall be provided
by the
Seller to the Purchaser upon request. The obligations of the Seller under
this
Section 6.04 apply to the Seller for any year in which the Seller during
the
prior calendar year (or any portion thereof) serviced a Mortgage Loan pursuant
to this Agreement, whether or not the Seller is acting as the servicer
at the
time such statement is required to be delivered.
Section
6.05. Annual
Independent Certified Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.
On
or
prior to March 15th of each year for each year in which the Purchaser or
an
Affiliate of the Purchaser is required to file an annual report on Form
10-K in
connection with any Securitization Transfer with the SEC, and upon request
of
the Purchaser for any other year, the Seller at its expense shall cause
a firm
of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute
of
Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Purchaser to
the
effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating
to the
Seller’s servicing of residential mortgage loans, and that, on the basis of such
an examination, conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform
Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such firm is of the opinion that
the
Seller’s servicing has been conducted in compliance with such programs, except
for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and
(ii)
such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. The first
statement delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section
shall be delivered on or before March 15, 2005, or such other date as may
be
required pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.05. Copies of
such
statement shall be provided by the Seller to the Purchaser. The obligations
of
the Seller under this Section 6.05 apply to the Seller for any year in
which the
Seller during the prior calendar year (or any portion thereof) serviced
a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement, whether or not the Seller is
acting as
the servicer at the time such statement is required to be delivered
Section
6.06. Purchaser’s
Right to Examine Seller Records.
At
its
expense, the Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit upon reasonable
notice to the Seller, during business hours or at such other times as might
be
reasonable under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records,
documentation or other information of the Seller, or held by another for
the
Seller or on its behalf or otherwise, which relates to the performance
or
observance by the Seller of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Agreement.
54
The
Seller shall provide to the Purchaser and any supervisory agents or examiners
representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction
over the
Purchaser, including but not limited to, OCC, OTS, FDIC and other similar
entities, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the
possession of the Seller which may be required by any applicable regulations.
Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request,
during
normal business hours and at the offices of the Seller, and in accordance
with
the federal government, OCC, FDIC, OTS, or any other similar regulations;
provided, however, that in connection with providing such access, the Seller
shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket costs unless provisions
have
been made for the reimbursement thereof.
Section
6.07. Seller
Shall Provide Information as Reasonably Required.
The
Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser during the term of this Agreement
such
periodic, special or other reports, information or documentation as the
Purchaser may reasonably request, as shall be necessary, reasonable or
appropriate in respect to the Mortgage Loans and the performance of the
Seller
under this Agreement, including any reports, information or documentation
reasonably required to comply with any regulations regarding any supervisory
agents or examiners of the Purchaser; provided, that, the Seller shall
not be
liable for any out-of-pocket costs with respect to the provision of such
reports, information or documentation. All such reports or information
shall be
provided by and in accordance with such applicable instructions and directions
as the Purchaser may reasonably request in relation to this Agreement or
the
performance of the Seller under this Agreement. The Seller agrees to execute
and
deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Purchaser,
from
time to time, may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose
and to
carry out the terms of this Agreement.
The
Seller, upon reasonable advance notice, shall make reasonably available
to the
Purchaser or any prospective purchaser a knowledgeable financial or accounting

Third Party Claims.
The
Seller agrees to indemnify and hold the Purchaser and its present and former
directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from any and all claims,
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related
costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of such parties
may
sustain in any way related to the failure of the Seller to observe and
perform
its duties, obligations, covenants, and agreements and to service the Mortgage
Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement or as a result of
the
breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02

Loan, assume (with the consent of the Purchaser) the defense of any such
claim
and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and
promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be

follow
any written instructions received from the Purchaser in connection with
such
claim. The Purchaser shall promptly reimburse the Seller for all amounts
advanced by it pursuant to the two preceding sentences except when the
claim
relates to the failure of the Seller to service and administer the Mortgage
Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the failure of the
Seller
to perform its duties and obligations pursuant to this Agreement, the breach
of
representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02, or the gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Seller. The provisions
of
this Section 7.01 shall survive termination of this Agreement and transfer
of
the related servicing rights.
55
Section
7.02. Merger
or Consolidation of the Seller.
The
Seller shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as
a
corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as

corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the
Seller shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the
Seller,
shall be the successor of the Seller hereunder, without the execution or
filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that
the
successor or surviving Person shall be an institution whose deposits are

employees or agents of the Seller shall be under any liability to the Purchaser
for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in
good
faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment made in good
faith;
provided,
however,
that
this provision shall not protect the Seller or any such person against
any
breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform
its
obligations in compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement,
or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligence,
bad
faith or willful misconduct, or any breach of the terms and conditions
of this
Agreement. The Seller and any officer, employee or agent of the Seller
may rely
in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed
and
submitted by the Purchaser respecting any matters arising hereunder. The
Seller
shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal
action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans
in
accordance with this Agreement and which in its reasonable opinion may
involve
it in any expenses or liability.

Section
7.04. Seller
Not to Resign.
The
Seller shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed
on it
except by mutual consent of the Seller and the Purchaser or upon the
determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Seller. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Seller shall be evidenced
by an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion
of
Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser. No
such
resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed
the
Seller’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in
Section 11.01.
Section
7.05. No
Transfer of Servicing.
With
respect to the retention of the Seller to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder,
the Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser has acted in reliance upon the
Seller’s independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan,
personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial
standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality
of this Section 7.05, the Seller shall not either assign this Agreement
or the
servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion
thereof without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, which consent
may
be withheld in the Purchaser’s discretion exercised in good faith.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller may, without the consent of the
Purchaser, retain reasonable and necessary third party contractors to perform
certain servicing and loan administration functions, including and limited
to,
hazard insurance administration, tax payment and administration, flood
certification and administration and foreclosure activities; provided,
that such
contractors shall perform such servicing and loan administrative functions
in a
manner consistent with this Agreement; provided, further, that the retention
of
such contractors by Seller shall not limit the obligation of the Seller
to
service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement or release it from any of its obligations hereunder.

Section
8.01. Events
of Default.
57
In
case
one or more of the following Events of Default by the Seller shall occur
and be
continuing, that is to say:
(i) any
failure by the Seller to remit to the Purchaser any payment required to
be made
under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period
of two
(2) Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Seller
by the
Purchaser; or
(ii) failure
on the part of the Seller duly to observe or perform in any material respect
any
other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Seller set forth
in this
Agreement, or which failure continues unremedied for a period of thirty
(30)
days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring
the same
to be remedied, shall have been given to the Seller by the Purchaser;
or
(iii) a
decree
or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction
for
the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities
or
similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs,
shall
have been entered against the Seller and such decree or order shall have
remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days;
or
(iv) the
Seller shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshalling
of
assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Seller
or of
or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(v) the
Seller shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally
as they
become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency
or
reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors,
or
voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(vi) the
Seller ceases to be approved by Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac as a mortgage
loan
seller and servicer for more than thirty (30) days; or
(vii) the
Seller attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder
or the
Seller attempts, without the consent of the Purchaser, to assign this Agreement
or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder
or any portion thereof in a manner not permitted under this Agreement;
or
(viii) the
Seller ceases to be (a) licensed to service first lien residential mortgage
loans in each jurisdiction in which a Mortgaged Property is located and
such
licensing is required, and (b) qualified to transact business in any
jurisdiction where it is currently so qualified, but only to the extent
such
non-qualification materially and adversely affects the Seller’s ability to
perform its obligations hereunder;
58
then,
and
in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have
been
remedied, the Purchaser, by notice in writing to the Seller may, in addition

at law
or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance,
terminate all the rights and obligations of the Seller under this Agreement
and
in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating
the
Seller for the same. On or after the receipt by the Seller of such written

Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall
pass
to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section 12.01.
Upon
written request from the Purchaser, the Seller shall prepare, execute and
deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s
possession all Servicing Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or
things
necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination,
whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage
Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Seller’s sole expense. The
Seller agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting
the termination of the Seller’s responsibilities and rights hereunder,
including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration
by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Seller
to
the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect
to
the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.
If
any of
the Mortgage Loans are MERS Mortgage Loans, in connection with the termination
or resignation (as described in Section 8.04) of the Seller hereunder,
either
(i) the successor servicer shall represent and warrant that it is a member
of
MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects
with
the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the
Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, or (ii) the Seller shall
cooperate
with the successor servicer either (x) in causing MERS to execute and deliver
an
assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from
MERS to
the Purchaser and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents
and other
instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such
Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the
successor servicer or (y) in causing MERS to designate on the MERS® System the
successor servicer as the servicer of such Mortgage Loan.
Section
8.02. Waiver
of Defaults.
The
Purchaser may waive only by written notice any default by the Seller in
the
performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any
such
waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event
of

purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or
other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent
expressly so waived in writing.
ARTICLE
IX

Section

the Seller); (b) the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure
or deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the last Mortgage Loan and
the
remittance of all funds due hereunder or (c) by mutual consent of the Seller
and
the Purchaser in writing. Upon written request from the Purchaser in connection
with any such termination, the Seller shall prepare, execute and deliver,

Mortgage Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary
or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether
to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans
and

Section

The

or
(iii) one
or
more third party purchasers in one or more Whole Loan Transfers; or

60
The

and
substance reasonably acceptable to the parties, and in connection with
a
Securitization Transfer, a pooling and servicing agreement in form and

together with an opinion of counsel with respect to such Reconstitution
Agreements.

and
to represent and warrant that the Seller has serviced the Mortgage Loans
in

date in connection with such Reconstitution. The Seller shall provide to
such
servicer or issuer, as the case may be, and any other participants or purchasers
in such Reconstitution: (i) any and all information and appropriate
verification of information which may be reasonably available to the Seller
or
its Affiliates, whether through letters of its auditors and counsel or
otherwise, as the Purchaser or any such other participant shall reasonably
request; (ii) such additional opinions of counsel, letters from auditors,
and certificates of public officials or officers of the Seller as are reasonably
believed necessary by the Purchaser or any such other participant; and
(iii) to execute, deliver and satisfy all conditions set forth in any
indemnity agreement required by the Purchaser or any such participant,
including, without limitation, an Indemnification and Contribution Agreement
in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit
I.
Moreover, the Seller agrees to cooperate with all reasonable requests made
by
the Purchaser to effect such Reconstitution. The Seller shall indemnify
the
Purchaser, each Affiliate of the Purchaser participating in the Reconstitution
and each Person who controls the Purchaser or such Affiliate and their
respective present and former directors, officers, employees and agents,
and
hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments,
and
any other costs, fees and expenses that each of them may sustain in any
way
related to any information provided by or on behalf of the Seller regarding
the
Seller or any affiliated servicer, the Seller’s or any affiliated servicer’s
servicing practices or performance or the Underwriting Standards set forth
in
any offering document prepared in connection with any Reconstitution (the
“Seller
Information”).
For
purposes of the previous sentence, “Purchaser” shall mean the Person then acting
as the Purchaser under this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously
were “Purchasers” under this Agreement. In connection with any Reconstitution,
the Purchaser shall execute an Indemnification and Contribution Agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit
I
attached
hereto, which in any case, shall provide that the Purchaser shall indemnify
the
Seller and each Person who controls the Seller and its directors, officers,
employees and agents, and hold each of them harmless from and against any
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses
and
related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that each
of
them may sustain in any way related to any information, other than (i)
the
Seller Information or (ii) any information regarding the Mortgage Loans
set
forth in any offering document prepared in connection with any Reconstitution
that is derived from loan-level information provided by the Seller to the
Purchaser, the related depositor or any of their Affiliates, set forth
in any
offering document prepared in connection with any Reconstitution.

respect to any Mortgage Loans sold in a Securitization Transfer where the
Seller
is the servicer, the Seller agrees that on or before March 15th of each
year
beginning March 15, 2005, the Seller shall deliver to the depositor, the
master
servicer (if any) and the trustee for the securitization trust in the
Securitization Transfer, and their officers and directors, a certification
in

hereto,

use in
connection with any Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC with respect to
the
securitization trust. The Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the
depositor, the master servicer (if any) and the trustee, and their respective
officers and directors, from and against any losses, damages, penalties,
fines,
forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other
costs and expenses arising out of or based upon any breach of the Seller’s
obligations under this paragraph or any material misstatement or omission,
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Seller in connection
therewith. If the indemnification provided for in the preceding sentence
is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any indemnified party, then
the
Seller agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such
indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities
of
such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the
relative fault of such indemnified party, on the one hand, and the Seller,
on
the other, in connection with a breach of the Seller’s obligations under this
paragraph or any material misstatement or omission, negligence, bad faith
or
willful misconduct of the Seller in connection therewith.
The
Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller for any and all out-of-pocket expenses,
costs and fees, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by the Seller in
response to requests for information or assistance under this Section,

attorney’s fees, incurred by the Seller in connection with fulfilling its
obligations hereunder with respect to servicing and administering the related
Mortgage Loans. All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to
a
Reconstitution shall remain subject to this Agreement and shall continue
to be
serviced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and with respect
thereto this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements contained herein, and other

follows:
1. Indemnification
and Contribution.
(a) The

their
respective present and former directors, officers, employees and agents
and each
person, if any, who controls the Depositor, Xxxxxx, the Underwriter, the

against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, to which they
or any
of them may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or other federal
or
state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar
as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out
of or are based in whole or in part upon any material non-compliance with
the
requirements of Regulation AB Items 1108, 1110, 1111 (it being understood
that
no representation is made by Seller with respect to information regarding
the
mortgage loans as aggregated by the Depositor), 1117 or 1119, or arise
out of or
are based in whole or in part upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement or
the Term
Sheet or any omission or alleged omission to state in the Prospectus Supplement
or the Term Sheet a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they
were
made, not misleading, or any such untrue statement or omission or alleged
untrue
statement or alleged omission made in any amendment of or supplement to
the
Prospectus Supplement or the Term Sheet (provided that Xxxxxx has provided
the
Seller with reasonable advanced notice of such amendment or supplement
and
Seller if afforded no fewer than five (5) Business Days to review and,
if
required, update, the Seller Information stated therein) and agrees to
reimburse
the Depositor, Xxxxxx, the Underwriter, the Initial Purchaser or such Affiliates
and each such officer, director, employee, agent and controlling person
promptly
upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any
of them
in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against
any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred;
provided, however, that Seller shall be liable in any such case only to
the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out
of, or
is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or
alleged omission set forth in or omitted from the Seller Information. The
foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which Seller
may
otherwise have to the Depositor, Xxxxxx, the Underwriter, the Initial Purchaser
their Affiliates or any such director, officer, employee, agent or controlling
person of the Depositor, Xxxxxx, the Underwriter, the Initial Purchaser
or their
respective Affiliates.
I-1
(b) Xxxxxx
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and its present and former
directors, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who
controls
the Seller within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act, or
Section
20 of the 1934 Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under
the 1933
Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation,
at
common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based in whole or in
part
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Prospectus Supplement or the Term Sheet or any amendment
or
supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
in which
they were made, not misleading, or any such untrue statement or omission
or
alleged untrue statement or alleged omission made in any amendment of or
supplement to the Prospectus Supplement or the Term Sheet, or arise out
of or
are based in whole or in part upon any material non-compliance with the
requirements of Regulation AB (17 CFR 229.1100 et seq.), and Xxxxxx shall
in
each case reimburse the Seller and each such officer, director, employee,
agent
and controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or
defending
or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability
or action
as such expenses are incurred; provided,
however,
that
Xxxxxx shall be liable in any such case only to the extent that any such
loss,
claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any
untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission set
forth
in or omitted from the information set forth in the Prospectus Supplement
or the
Term Sheet or any amendment of or supplement to either the Prospectus Supplement
or the Term Sheet other than (i) the Seller Information or (ii) any information
regarding the Mortgage Loans set forth in the Prospectus Supplement or
the Term
Sheet or any amendment of or supplement to either that is derived from
loan-level information provided by the Seller to the Purchaser, the Depositor
or
any of their Affiliates. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition
to any
liability which Xxxxxx may otherwise have to the Seller or any such director,
officer, employee, agent or controlling person of the Seller.
I-2
As
used
herein:
“Seller
Information”
means
any information relating to Seller, the Mortgage Loans and/or the underwriting
guidelines relating to the Mortgage Loans provided by the Seller for inclusion
in the Prospectus Supplement or the Term Sheet.
(c) Promptly
after receipt by any indemnified party under this Section
1
of
notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying
party under this Section
1,
notify
the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that
action; provided,
however,
that
the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have under this Section
1
except
to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and
provided,
further,
however,
that
the failure to notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve it from
any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under
this
Section
1.
If
any
such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and
it shall
notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled
to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with
any other
similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice
from the
indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the
defense of such claim or action, except as provided in the following paragraph,
the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under
this
Section
1
for any
legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party
in
connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation.
Any
indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any
such
action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of
such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless:
(i) the
employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying
party in
writing; (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel
that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are
different
from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and in
the
reasonable judgment of such counsel it is necessary or appropriate for
such
indemnified party to employ separate counsel; or (iii) the indemnifying
party
has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party, in which case, if such indemnified
party
notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate
counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party
shall
not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such
indemnified party, it being understood, however, the indemnifying party
shall
not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially
similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the
same
general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees
and
expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to local
counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties.
I-3
Each
indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements contained
in this
Section
1,
shall
cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action
or
claim. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any
such
action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there
be a
final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against
any
loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have
requested
an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable
fees and
expenses of counsel, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable
for
any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if
(i)
such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such
indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying
party
shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such
request
prior to the date of such settlement.
(d) If
the
indemnification provided for in this Section
1
is
unavailable to an indemnified party, then the indemnifying party, in lieu
of
indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid
or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages
or
liabilities, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault
of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, respectively, in connection
with the statements or omissions that result in such losses, claims, damages
or
liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of the indemnified party and indemnifying party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission
to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by such parties and their
relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent
such statement or omission and any other equitable considerations.
(e) The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section
1
shall
remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination
of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Depositor, Xxxxxx,
the
Underwriter, the Initial Purchaser, their respective Affiliates, directors,
officers, employees or agents or any person controlling the Depositor,
Xxxxxx,
the Underwriter, the Initial Purchaser or any such Affiliate, and (iii)

Certificates.
