In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(ii) of this Subsection, the Seller shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser, any Depositor, as applicable, and each Person responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such Securitization Transaction, for all costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Seller, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party Originator.
This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement.
(b)
(i)
Any failure by the Seller, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party Originator to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under this Section 32, or any breach by the Seller of a representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 32.02(i) or in a writing furnished pursuant to Subsection 32.02(ii) and made as of a date prior to the closing date of the related Securitization Transaction, to the extent that such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach by the Seller of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to Subsection 32.02(ii) to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date, shall, except as provided in clause (ii) of this paragraph, immediately and automatically, without notice or grace period, constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Seller under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement, and shall entitle the Purchaser, Master Servicer or Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Seller as servicer under this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Seller(and if the Company is servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in a Securitization Transaction, appoint a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to any Master Servicer for such Securitization Transaction); provided that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Seller as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.
(ii)
Any failure by the Seller, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and as required under Subsection 32.04 or 32.05, including (except as provided below) any failure by the Seller to identify pursuant to Subsection 32.06(ii) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, which continues unremedied for ten calendar days after the date on which such information, report, certification or accountants’ letter was required to be delivered shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Seller under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement, and shall entitle the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Seller as servicer under this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Seller; provided that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Seller as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.
Neither the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Seller pursuant to this Subsection (b)(ii) if a failure of the Seller to identify a Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable solely to the role or functions of such Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other than the Mortgage Loans.
(iii)
The Seller shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser (or any designee of the Purchaser, such as a master servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Purchaser (or such designee) or such Depositor, as such are incurred, in connection with the termination under this Section 32 of the Seller as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever rights the Purchaser or any Depositor may have under other provisions of this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.

Additional Representations and Warranties
1. | No Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product offered by the Mortgage Loan's originator which is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan's origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit history and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then offered by the Mortgage Loan's originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan's originator. If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for a lower cost credit product then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate of the Mortgage Loan's originator, the Mortgage Loan's originator referred the Mortgagor's application to such affiliate for underwriting consideration. With respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor was assigned the highest credit grade available with respect to a mortgage loan product offered by such Mortgage Loan’s originator, based on a comprehensive assessment of risk factors, including the Mortgagor’s credit history. |
2. | With respect to any Mortgage Loan which is secured by manufactured housing, if such Mortgage Loans are permitted hereunder, such Mortgage Loan satisfies the requirements for inclusion in residential mortgage backed securities transactions rated by S&P and such manufactured housing is the principal residence of the Mortgagor at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan. |
3. | No Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost Home Mortgage Loan” as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act, effective November 7, 2004 (Mass. Xxx. Laws Ch. 183C). No Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts was made to pay off or refinance an existing loan or other debt of the related borrower (as the term “borrower” is defined in the regulations promulgated by the Massachusetts Secretary of State in connection with Massachusetts House Xxxx 4880 (2004)) unless either (1) (a) the related Mortgage Interest Rate (that would be effective once the introductory rate expires, with respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans) did or would not exceed by more than 2.25% the yield on United States Treasury securities having comparable periods of maturity to the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan as of the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the application for the extension of credit was received by the related lender or (b) the Mortgage Loan is an “open-end home loan” (as such term is used in the Massachusetts House Xxxx 4880 (2004)) and the related Mortgage Note provides that the related Mortgage Interest Rate may not exceed at any time the Prime rate index as published in The Wall Street Journal plus a margin of one percent, or (2) such Mortgage Loan is in the "borrower's interest," as documented by a "borrower's interest worksheet" for the particular Mortgage Loan, which worksheet incorporates the factors set forth in Massachusetts House Xxxx 4880 (2004) and the regulations promulgated thereunder for determining "borrower's interest," and otherwise complies in all material respects with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts |
