residence
erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual
condominium unit in a condominium project, or a Cooperative Apartment,

(other
than the exception identified for Exception Mortgage Loans) or the
Third-Party Underwriting Guidelines, as applicable and, to the best

|
| (k) |
Valid
First Lien.
The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting
and
enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings
on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical,
electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located
in or
annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements
made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage
is subject only to:
|
26
|
(2)
covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements
and other
matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable
to
mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred
to in
the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator
of the
Mortgage Loan and (i) referred to or otherwise considered in
the appraisal
made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (ii) which
do not
adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property
set forth
in such appraisal; and
(3)
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 a
valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority
security
interest on the property described therein and the Company
has full right
to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser;
With respect to each Cooperative
Loan,
each Pledge Agreement creates a valid, enforceable and subsisting
first
security interest in the Cooperative Shares and Proprietary
Lease, subject
only to (i) the lien of the related 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 (ii) 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 Pledge
Agreement;
provided, however, that the appurtenant Proprietary Lease may
be
subordinated or otherwise subject to the lien of any mortgage
on the
Project;
|
| (l) |
Full
Disbursement of Proceeds.
The proceeds of the Mortgage
Loan have
been fully disbursed, except for escrows established or created due
to
seasonal weather conditions, and there is no requirement for future
advances thereunder. 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 Mortgage;
|
| (m) |
Consolidation
of Future Advances.
Any future advances made prior
to the
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
reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. 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 or Xxxxxxx Mac; the consolidated
principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of
the
Mortgage Loan; the Company shall not make future advances after the
Cut-off Date;
|
27
| (n) |
Ownership.
The Company is the sole owner
of record
and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgage Note and
the
Mortgage are not assigned or pledged, and the Company has good and
marketable title thereto and has full right and authority to transfer
and
sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser. The Company is transferring
the
Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all encumbrances, liens,
pledges,
equities, participation interests, claims, charges or security interests
of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan;
|
| (o) |
Origination/Doing
Business.
The Mortgage Loan was originated
by a
savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank,
a credit
union, an insurance company, or similar institution that is supervised
and
examined by a federal or state authority or by a mortgagee approved
by the
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203
and
211 of the National Housing Act. All parties which have had any interest
in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or
otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed
of
such interest, were) (1) in compliance with any and all applicable
licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged
Property is located, and (2) organized under the laws of such state,
or
(3) qualified to do business in such state, or (4) federal savings
and
loan associations or national banks having principal offices in such
state, or (5) not doing business in such state;
|
| (p) |
LTV,
PMI Policy.
No Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater
than
95%. Except as set forth on the related Data File, each Mortgage
Loan with
an LTV greater than 80% at the time of origination, a portion of
the
unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is and will be insured
as to
payment defaults by a PMI Policy. If the Mortgage Loan is insured
by a PMI
Policy which is not an LPMI Policy, the coverage will remain in place
until (i) the LTV decreases to 78% or (ii) the PMI Policy is otherwise
terminated pursuant to the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, 12
USC
§4901, et seq. All provisions of such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy have
been
and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect,
and
all premiums due thereunder have been paid. The Qualified Insurer
has a
claims paying ability acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. Any
Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy or LPMI Policy obligates the
Mortgagor or the Company to maintain the PMI Policy or LPMI Policy,
as
applicable, 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;
|
28
| (q) |
Title
Insurance.
The Mortgage Loan is covered
by an ALTA
lender's title insurance policy (or in the case of any Mortgage Loan
secured by a Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such
policies are generally not available, an opinion of counsel of the
type
customarily rendered in such jurisdiction in lieu of title insurance)
or
other generally acceptable form of policy of 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 the Company, its successors
and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the
original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions
contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of subclause (k) of this Section
3.02, and against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability
of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing
for
adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. The Company is the sole insured of such lender's
title insurance
policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force
and
effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been
made
under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of
the
Mortgage, including the Company, has done, by act or omission, anything
which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance
policy;
|
| (r) |
No
Defaults.
There is no default, breach,
violation or
event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the 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 of acceleration, and neither the Company nor its predecessors
have waived any default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration;
|
| (s) |
No
Mechanics' Liens.
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 the law could give rise to such liens)
affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens
prior
to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage
which
are not insured against by the title insurance policy referenced
in
subclause (q) of this Section 3.02;
|
29
| (t) |
Location
of Improvements; No Encroachments.
Except as insured against by
the title
insurance policy referenced in subclause (q) of this Section 3.02,
all
improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value
of
the Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property and no improvements on
adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement
located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation
of any
applicable zoning law or regulation;
|
| (u) |
Payment
Terms.
Except with respect to the Interest
Only
Mortgage Loans, principal payments commenced no more than sixty (60)
days
after the funds were disbursed to the Mortgagor in connection with
the
Mortgage Loan. Except with respect to the Interest Only Mortgage
Loans,
each Mortgage Loan is payable in equal monthly installments of principal
and interest, with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient
to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date set
forth
in the Mortgage Note over an original term to maturity of not more
than
thirty (30) years. As to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan on each
applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted
to
equal the sum of the Index plus the applicable Gross Margin, rounded
up or
down to the nearest multiple of 0.125% indicated by the Mortgage
Note;
provided that the Mortgage Interest Rate will not increase or decrease
by
more than the Periodic Interest Rate Cap on any Adjustment Date,
and will
in no event exceed the Maximum Mortgage Interest Rate or be lower
than the
Minimum Mortgage Interest Rate listed on the Mortgage Note for such
Mortgage Loan. As to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan that is not
an
Interest Only Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage Note requires a monthly
payment
which is sufficient, during the period prior to the first adjustment
to
the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize the outstanding principal
balance as of the first day of such period over the then remaining
term of
such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest
Rate. With respect to each Interest Only Mortgage Loan, the interest-only
period shall not exceed fifteen (15) years (or such other period
specified
on the related Data File) and following the expiration of such
interest-only period, the remaining Monthly Payments shall be sufficient
to fully amortize the original principal balance over the remaining
term
of the Mortgage Loan and to pay interest at the related Mortgage
Interest
Rate. As to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, if the related Mortgage
Interest Rate changes on an Adjustment Date or, with respect to an
Interest Only Mortgage Loan, on an Adjustment Date following the
related
interest-only period, the then outstanding principal balance will
be
reamortized over the remaining life of such Mortgage Loan. No Adjustable
Rate Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would result
in
negative amortization;
|
30
| (v) |
Customary
Provisions.
The Mortgage and related Mortgage
Note
contain 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,
including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of
trust, by
trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There
is no
homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor which would
interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's
sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage;
|
| (w) |
Occupancy
of the Mortgaged Property.
As of the date of origination,
the
Mortgaged Property was lawfully occupied under applicable law;
|
| (x) |
No
Additional Collateral.
Except in the case of a Pledged
Asset
Mortgage Loan and as indicated on the related Data File, the Mortgage
Note
is not and has not been secured by any collateral, pledged account
or
other security except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and
the
security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel
mortgage
referred to in subclause (k) of this Section
3.02;
|
| (y) |
Deeds
of Trust.
In the event the Mortgage constitutes
a
deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to
serve as
such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is
named in
the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable
by the
mortgagee to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection
with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;
|
| (z) |
Acceptable
Investment.
The Company has no knowledge
of any
circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing
that
can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional investors
to
regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the
Mortgage
Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value or marketability
of the Mortgage Loan;
|
| (aa) |
Transfer
of Mortgage Loans.
If the Mortgage Loan is not a
MERS
Mortgage Loan, the Assignment of Mortgage, upon the insertion of
the name
of the assignee and recording information, is in recordable form
and is
acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which
the
Mortgaged Property is located;
|
31
| (bb) |
Mortgaged
Property Undamaged.
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;
|
| (cc) |
Collection
Practices; Escrow Deposits.
The origination, servicing and
collection
practices used with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in accordance
with Accepted Servicing Practices, and have been in all material
respects
legal and proper. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments,
all
such payments are in the possession of the Company 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 in full compliance with state and federal law. No escrow
deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the
Company
have been capitalized under the Mortgage Note;
|
| (dd) |
No
Condemnation.
There is no proceeding pending
or to the
best of the Company’s knowledge threatened for the total or partial
condemnation of the related Mortgaged Property;
|
| (ee) |
The
Appraisal.
The Servicing File for each Mortgage
Loan
includes an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property. As to each
Time$aver® Mortgage Loan, the appraisal may be from the original of the
existing Company-serviced loan, which was refinanced via such Time$aver®
Mortgage Loan. The appraisal was conducted by an appraiser who had
no
interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any
loan
made on the security thereof; and whose compensation is not affected
by
the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal
and
the appraiser both satisfy the applicable requirements of Title XI
of the
Financial Institution Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989
and
the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date
the
Mortgage Loan was originated;
|
32
| (ff) |
Insurance.
The Mortgaged Property securing
each
Mortgage Loan is insured by an insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or
Xxxxxxx
Mac against loss by fire and such hazards as are covered under a
standard
extended coverage endorsement and such other hazards as are customary
in
the area where the Mortgaged Property is located pursuant to insurance
policies conforming to the requirements of Section 4.10, in an amount
which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) 100% of the insurable
value,
on a replacement cost basis, of the improvements on the related Mortgaged
Property and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loan or (b) an amount such that the proceeds of such
insurance shall be sufficient to prevent the application to the Mortgagor
or the loss payee of any coinsurance clause under the policy. If
the
Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included under the
coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the project. If the improvements
on the Mortgaged Property are in an area identified in the Federal
Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special
flood hazards, a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements
of the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in
effect
with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing
coverage not less than the least of (A) the outstanding principal
balance
of the Mortgage Loan, (B) the full insurable value and (C) the maximum
amount of insurance which was available under the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended. All individual insurance policies
contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Company and its successors
and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid.
The
Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain a hazard
insurance
policy at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's
failure
to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain
such insurance at such Mortgagor's cost and expense, and to seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. 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 Company has not acted or failed to act so as
to impair
the coverage of any such insurance policy or the validity, binding
effect
and enforceability thereof;

Buydown Agreement provides that the seller of the Mortgaged Property
(or
third party) shall deliver to the Company temporary Buydown Funds
in an
amount equal to the aggregate undiscounted amount of payments that,
when
added to the amount the Mortgagor on such Mortgage Loan is obligated
to
pay on each Due Date in accordance with the terms of the Buydown
Agreement, is equal to the full scheduled Monthly Payment due on
such
Mortgage Loan. The temporary Buydown Funds enable the Mortgagor to
qualify
for the Buydown Mortgage Loan. The effective interest rate of a Buydown
Mortgage Loan if less than the interest rate set forth in the related
Mortgage Note will increase within the Buydown Period as provided
in the
related Buydown Agreement so that the effective interest rate will
be
equal to the interest rate as set forth in the related Mortgage Note.
The
Buydown Mortgage Loan satisfies the requirements of the Company
Underwriting Guidelines (other than the exception identified for
Exception
Mortgage Loans) or the Third-Party Underwriting Guidelines, as applicable;
|
35
|
(ii)
The
Mortgage and Mortgage Note
reflect the permanent payment terms rather than the payment terms
of the
Buydown Agreement. The Buydown Agreement
provides for the payment by the Mortgagor of the full amount of
the
Monthly Payment on any Due Date that the Buydown Funds are available.
The
Buydown Funds were not used to reduce the original principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loan or to increase the Appraised Value of the Mortgage
Property when calculating the Loan-to-Value Ratios for purposes
of the
Agreement and, if the Buydown Funds were provided by the Company
and if
required under the Company Underwriting Guidelines (other than
the
exception identified for Exception Mortgage Loans) or the Third-Party
Underwriting Guidelines, as applicable, the terms of the Buydown
Agreement
were disclosed to the appraiser of the Mortgaged Property;
(iii) The
Buydown Funds may not be
refunded to the Mortgagor unless the Mortgagor makes a principal
payment
for the outstanding balance of the Mortgage Loan;
(iv)
As
of the date of origination of the
Mortgage Loan, the provisions of the related Buydown Agreement
complied
with the requirements of the Company Underwriting Guidelines (other
than
the exception identified for Exception Mortgage Loans) or the Third-Party
Underwriting Guidelines, as applicable, regarding buydown agreements;
|
| (ss) |

original UCC financing statement, continuation statement or other
governmental filing or recordation necessary to create or preserve
the

made.
Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related
to
the Cooperative Loan and delivered to Purchaser or its designee
establishes in Purchaser a valid and subsisting perfected first lien

term or
such other term acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxx Mac, the Company
Underwriting Guidelines (other than the exception identified for
Exception
Mortgage Loans) or the Third-Party Underwriting Guidelines, as
applicable;

with the
requirements of the Xxxxxx Mae guidelines, Xxxxxxx Mac guidelines,
the
Company Underwriting Guidelines (other than the exception identified
for
Exception Mortgage Loans) or the Third-Party Underwriting Guidelines,
as
applicable; such title is free and clear of any adverse liens
or
encumbrances, except the lien of any blanket mortgage;
(iv)
The
Company has the right under the terms of the Mortgage Note, Pledge
Agreement and Recognition Agreement to pay any maintenance charges
or
assessments owed by the Mortgagor; and
(v) Each
Stock Power (i) has all signatures guaranteed or (ii) if all
signatures
are not guaranteed, then such Cooperative Shares will be transferred
by
the stock transfer agent of the Cooperative if the Company undertakes
to
convert the ownership of the collateral securing the related
Cooperative
Loan;

Section
3.03 Repurchase.
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 to the
Purchaser and the delivery of the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents to the
Custodian 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 failure to examine any Custodial Mortgage File
or
Retained Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Company 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 (or which materially and adversely affects the interests of Purchaser
in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty
relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the party discovering such breach
shall
give prompt written notice to the other.
Within
ninety (90) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company
of any breach of a representation or warranty which materially and adversely
affects the value of the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall use its best efforts
promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot
be cured, the Company shall, at the Purchaser's option, repurchase such Mortgage
Loan at the Repurchase Price. In the event that a breach shall involve any
representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01, and such breach cannot
be
cured within
ninety (90) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company
of such breach, all of the Mortgage Loans shall, at the Purchaser's option,
be
repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase Price. However, if the breach
shall
involve a representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.02 and the Company
discovers or receives notice of any such breach within 120 days of the Closing
Date, the Company shall, if the breach cannot be cured, at the Purchaser's
option and provided that the Company has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan,
rather than repurchase the Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage
Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") and substitute in its place a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, provided that any such substitution shall
be
effected not later than 120 days after the Closing Date. If the Company has
no
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage
Loan within ninety (90) days of the written notice of the breach or the failure
to cure, whichever is later. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or Loans pursuant
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03 shall be accomplished by
deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price for
distribution to Purchaser on the Remittance Date immediately following the
Principal Prepayment Period in which such Repurchase Price is received, after
deducting therefrom any amount received in respect of such repurchased Mortgage
Loan or Loans and being held in the Custodial Account for future distribution.
40
At
the
time of repurchase or substitution, the Purchaser and the Company shall arrange
for the reassignment of the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Company and the
delivery to the Company of any documents held by the Custodian relating to
the
Deleted Mortgage Loan. If the Company repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a
MERS
Mortgage Loan, the Company shall cause MERS to designate on the MERS System
to
remove the Purchaser as the beneficial holder with respect to such Mortgage
Loan. In the event of a repurchase or substitution, the Company shall,
simultaneously with such reassignment, give written notice to the Purchaser
that
such repurchase or substitution has taken place, amend the respective Mortgage
Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the Deleted Mortgage Loan from this
Agreement, and, in the case of substitution, identify a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan and amend the respective Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the
addition of such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan to this Agreement. In
connection with any such substitution, the Company shall be deemed to have
made
as to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the representations and warranties
set forth in this Agreement except that all such representations and warranties
set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed made as of the date of such
substitution. The Company shall effect such substitution by delivering to the
Custodian for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the documents required
by
Section 2.03, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.03.
No
substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date
for
such month. The Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account the Monthly
Payment less the Servicing Fee due on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or
Loans in the month following the date of such substitution. Monthly Payments
due
with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution
shall be retained by the Company. With respect to any Deleted Mortgage Loan,
distributions to Purchaser shall include the Monthly Payment due on any Deleted
Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the Company shall thereafter
be
entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by the Company in respect
of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.
41
For
any
month in which the Company substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
for
a Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Company shall determine the amount (if any) by
which the aggregate principal balance of all Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans
as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of all Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled principal
payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortfall shall
be distributed by the Company in the month of substitution pursuant to Section
5.01. Accordingly, on the date of such substitution, the Company shall deposit
from its own funds into the Custodial Account an amount equal to the amount
of
such shortfall.
In
addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, the Company shall
indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand,
defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach
of
the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. It is understood
and agreed that the obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 3.03
to
cure, substitute for or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify
the Purchaser as provided in this Section 3.03 constitute the sole remedies
of
the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and
warranties.
Any
cause
of action against the Company 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) discovery of such breach by the Purchaser or notice
thereof by the Company to the Purchaser, (ii) failures by the Company to cure
such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii)
demand upon the Company by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.
ARTICLE
IV
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section
4.01 Company
to Act as Servicer.
The
Company, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage
Loans and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through the
utilization of a Subservicer or a Subcontractor, to do any and all things in
connection with such servicing and administration which the Company may deem
necessary or desirable, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and with
Accepted Servicing Practices. The Company shall be responsible for any and
all
acts of a Subservicer and a Subcontractor, and the Company’s utilization of a
Subservicer or a Subcontractor shall in no way relieve the liability of the
Company under this Agreement.
42
Consistent
with the terms of this Agreement, the Company may waive, modify or vary any
term
of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with
any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the
Company's reasonable and
prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence
is
not materially adverse to the Purchaser, provided, however, the Company shall
not make any future advances, other than Servicing Advances, with respect to
a
Mortgage Loan; and provided further, that the Company shall not, unless it
has
first obtained the consent of the Purchaser, permit any modification with
respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate,
defer
or forgive the payment of principal (except for actual payments of principal),
reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for reductions
resulting from actual payments of principal), accept a deed in lieu of
foreclosure or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan or accept
substitution of additional collateral or release any collateral for a Mortgage
Loan. The Company shall request written consent from the Purchaser to permit
such a modification and the Purchaser shall provide written consent or notify
the Company of its objection to such modification within three (3) Business
Days
of its receipt of the Company's request. In the event of any such modification
which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage
Loan, the Company 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 5.03, the difference between (a) such month's principal
and one month's interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the
Mortgagor. The Company shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances
to
the same extent as for all other advances made pursuant to Section 5.03. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall continue, and is
hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself
and
the Purchaser, 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. If reasonably
required by the Company, the Purchaser shall furnish the Company with any powers
of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Company
to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.
The
Company is authorized and empowered by the Purchaser, in its own name, when
the
Company believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment to register any
Mortgage Loan on the MERS System, or cause the removal from MERS 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.
In
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall employ
procedures (including collection procedures) and exercise the same care that
it
customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans
for its own account, giving due consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices
where such practices do not conflict with the requirements of this Agreement,
and the Purchaser's reliance on the Company.
The
Company shall cause to be maintained for each Cooperative Loan a copy of the
financing statements and shall file and such financing statements and
continuation statements as necessary, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial
Code applicable in the jurisdiction in which
the
related Cooperative Apartment is located, to perfect and protect the security
interest and lien of the Purchaser.
43
Section
4.02 Liquidation
of Mortgage Loans.
In
the
event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not postponed pursuant
to
Section 4.01 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event
the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the
Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period,
the
Company shall take such action as (1) the Company would take under similar
circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan held for its own account
for investment, (2) shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices,
(3)
the Company shall determine prudently to be in the best interest of Purchaser,
and (4) is consistent with any related PMI Policy. In the event that any payment
due under any Mortgage Loan is not postponed pursuant to Section 4.01 and
remains delinquent for a period of 90 days or any other default continues for
a
period of ninety (90) days beyond the expiration of any grace or cure period,
the Company shall (a) act in the best interests of the Purchaser, (b) commence
foreclosure proceedings, provided that the Company shall not commence
foreclosure proceedings if it receives a written notice from the Purchaser
objecting to such action, no later than the third Business Day prior to such
commencement and (c) respond to reasonable inquiries of the Purchaser with
respect to the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property. Furthermore, the Purchaser
may instruct the Company to commence foreclosure proceedings on any Mortgage
Loan for which any payment remains delinquent for a period of 120 days or more
and shall periodically advise the Purchaser, upon receipt of written request,
of
the status of such foreclosure proceedings and shall follow the Purchaser’s
instruction in connection therewith. In the event the Purchaser objects to
such
foreclosure action, the Company shall cease foreclosure actions and shall not
be
required to make Monthly Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan, pursuant
to Section 5.03, and the Company's obligation to make such Monthly Advances
shall terminate on the 90th day referred to above. In such connection, the
Company shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing
Advances, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to expend
its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration
or
preservation of any Mortgaged Property, unless it shall determine (a) that
such
preservation, restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of
liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Purchaser after reimbursement to itself
for
such expenses and (b) that such expenses will be recoverable by it either
through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for
purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05)
or
through Insurance Proceeds (respecting which it shall have similar priority).
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 Company 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. The cost
for
such inspection or review shall be borne by the Purchaser. Upon completion
of
the inspection or review, the Company shall promptly provide the Purchaser
with
a written report of the environmental inspection.
44
After
reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine
how
the Company shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property. In the event
(a) the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property
is
contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (b) the Purchaser
directs the Company to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in
lieu
of foreclosure, the Company shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs
associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure
and any related environmental clean up costs, as applicable, from the related
Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully
reimburse the Company, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed from
amounts in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof. In the event
the Purchaser directs the Company not to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance
of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall be reimbursed for all
Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from
the
Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof.
Section
4.03 Collection
of Mortgage Loan Payments.
Continuously
from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans
are
paid in full, the Company shall proceed diligently to collect all payments
due
under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable
and
shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments and
all
other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage
Loan
and the Mortgaged Property, to the end that the installments payable by the
Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due
and payable.
Section
4.04 Establishment
of and Deposits to Custodial Account.
The
Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection
with a Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general
assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts, in
the
form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled "Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., in
trust for the Purchaser and/or subsequent purchasers of Mortgage Loans - P
&
I." The Custodial Account shall be established with a Qualified Depository.
Upon
request of the Purchaser and within ten (10) days thereof, the Company shall
provide the Purchaser with written confirmation of the existence of such
Custodial Account. The Custodial Account shall at all times be insured to the
fullest extent allowed by applicable law. Funds deposited in the Custodial
Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.05.
The
Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account within two (2) Business Days
of
Company’s receipt, and retain therein, the following collections received by the
Company and payments made by the Company after the Cut-off Date, other than
payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date, or
received by the Company prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period
subsequent thereto:
(i)
all
payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans, including all Principal
Prepayments;
45
(ii)
all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the
Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate;
(iii)
all Liquidation Proceeds;
(iv)
all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant
to
Section 4.10 (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 Section 4.14), Section 4.11 and Section 4.15;
(v)
all Condemnation Proceeds which are not applied to the restoration or repair
of
the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with
Section 4.14;
(vi)
any amount required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section
4.01, 5.03, 6.01 or 6.02;
(vii)
any amounts payable in connection with the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 3.03 and all amounts required to be deposited by the
Company in connection with a shortfall in principal amount of any Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03;
(viii)
with respect to each Principal Prepayment an amount (to be paid by the Company
out of its funds) which, when added to all amounts allocable to interest
received in connection with the Principal Prepayment, equals one month's
interest on the amount of principal so prepaid at the Mortgage Loan Remittance
Rate;
(ix)
any amounts required to be deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 4.11
in
connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance
policy;
(x)
any
amounts received with respect to or related to any REO Property and all REO
Disposition Proceeds pursuant to Section 4.16;
(xi)
with
respect to Buydown Mortgage Loans and Subsidy Loans, an amount from the Escrow
Account that when added to the amount received from the Mortgagor for such
month, equal the full Monthly Payment due under the related Mortgage Note;
and
(xii)
with
respect to Pledged Asset Mortgage Loans, any amount required to be deposited
pursuant to Section 4.26 of this Agreement.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit into 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 and assumption
fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the
Company into the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in
the
Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit
of
the Company
and the Company shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from
the
Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05.
46
Section
4.05 Permitted
Withdrawals From Custodial Account.
The
Company shall, from time to time, withdraw funds 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;
(ii)
to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances of the Company's funds made
pursuant to Section 5.03, the Company's right to reimburse itself pursuant
to
this sub clause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage
Loan which represent late Monthly Payments, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by
the
Company respecting which any such advance was made, it being understood that,
in
the case of any such reimbursement, the Company's right thereto shall be prior
to the rights of Purchaser, except that, where the Company is required to
repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.03 or 6.02, the Company's
right
to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of
the
Repurchase Price pursuant to such sections and all other amounts required to
be
paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

clause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related
Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such other
amounts as may be collected by the Company from the Mortgagor or otherwise
relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of any
such
reimbursement, the Company's right thereto shall be prior to the rights of
Purchaser, except that where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage
Loan pursuant to Section 3.03 or 6.02, in which case the Company's right to
such
reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the

the Company shall withdraw all funds from the Custodial Account except for
those
amounts which, pursuant to Section 5.01, the Company is not obligated to remit
on such Remittance Date. The Company may use such withdrawn funds only for
the
purposes described in this Section 4.05.
Section
4.06 Establishment
of and Deposits to Escrow Account.
The
Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant
to a
Mortgage Loan constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its
own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow
Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled, "Xxxxx Fargo
Bank, N.A., in trust for the Purchaser and/or subsequent purchasers of
Residential Mortgage Loans, and various Mortgagors - T & I." The Escrow
Accounts shall be established with a Qualified Depository, in a manner which
shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder. Upon request of the
Purchaser and within ten (10) days thereof, the Company shall provide the
Purchaser with written confirmation of the existence of such Escrow Account.
Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Company in
accordance with Section 4.07.
The
Company shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts within two (2) Business
Days of Company’s receipt, 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
amounts representing Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are

applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property;

48
The
Company shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such
payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 4.07.
The
Company shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in
the
Escrow Account by the depository institution, other than interest on escrowed
funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor. To the extent required by
law, the Company shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor
notwithstanding that the Escrow Account may be non-interest bearing or that
interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.
Section
4.07 Permitted
Withdrawals From Escrow Account.
Withdrawals
from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the Company only:
(i)
to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates,
mortgage insurance premiums, condominium charges, fire and hazard insurance
premiums or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage;
(ii)
to reimburse the Company for any Servicing Advances made by the Company pursuant
to Section 4.08 with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, but only from amounts
received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections of Escrow
Payments thereunder;
(iii)
to
refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required
under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan;
(iv)
for
transfer to the Custodial Account and application to reduce the principal

to

Section
4.08 Payment
of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall maintain accurate records
reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer
rents, and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged
Property and the status of PMI Policy
premiums 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, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account
which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Company in amounts
sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage. The
Company assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills
and
shall effect timely payment of all such charges irrespective of each Mortgagor's
faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow
Payments, and the Company shall make advances from its own funds to effect
such
payments.
49
Section
4.09 Protection
of Accounts.
The
Company may transfer the Custodial Account, Subsidy Account or the Escrow
Account to a different Qualified Depository from time to time, provided that
the
Company shall give notice to the Purchaser of such transfer.
Section
4.10 Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance.
The
Company shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance
such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer
acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac against loss by fire, hazards of
extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where
the
Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount which is at least equal to the
lesser of (i) 100% of the insurable value, on a replacement cost basis, of
the
improvements on the related Mortgaged Property and (ii) the greater of (a)
the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or (b) an amount such that
the proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient to prevent the application
to
the Mortgagor or the loss payee of any coinsurance clause under the policy.
In
the event a hazard insurance policy shall be in danger of being terminated,
or
in the event the insurer shall cease to be acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac, the Company shall notify the Purchaser and the related Mortgagor, and
shall
use its best efforts, as permitted by applicable law, to obtain from another
qualified insurer a replacement hazard insurance policy substantially and
materially similar in all respects to the original policy. In no event, however,
shall a Mortgage Loan be without a hazard insurance policy at any time, subject
only to Section 4.11 hereof.
If
the
related Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood
insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration
is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier acceptable to Xxxxxx
Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac in an amount representing coverage equal to the lesser of
(i)
the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for
any
damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the unpaid balance of the
mortgage if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building
insured) and (ii) 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 Company determines in accordance with the
applicable law and pursuant to the Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac guide, that the
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 Company shall notify the related Mortgagor that the
Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if the Mortgagor fails
to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days
after such notification, the Company shall force place the required flood
insurance on the Mortgagor's behalf.
50
If
a
Mortgage is secured by a unit in a condominium project, the Company shall verify
that the coverage required of the owner's association, including hazard, flood,
liability, and fidelity coverage, is being maintained in accordance with then
current Xxxxxx Mae requirements, and secure from the owner's association its
agreement to notify the Company promptly of any change in the insurance coverage
or of any condemnation or casualty loss that may have a material effect on
the
value of the Mortgaged Property as security.
In
the
event that any Purchaser or the Company shall determine that the Mortgaged
Property should be insured against loss or damage by hazards and risks not
covered by the insurance required to be maintained by the Mortgagor pursuant
to
the terms of the Mortgage, the Company shall communicate and consult with the
Mortgagor with respect to the need for such insurance and bring to the
Mortgagor's attention the desirability of protection of the Mortgaged Property.
All
policies required hereunder shall name the Company as loss payee and shall
be
endorsed with standard or union mortgagee clauses, without contribution, which
shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any
cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage.
The
Company shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting
either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Company
shall
not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such
companies are acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac and are licensed to
do
business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The
Company shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage
and
amounts, that they insure the property owner, and that they properly describe
the property address.
Pursuant
to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any such policies
(other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the
restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or property acquired
in
liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor, in
accordance with the Company's normal servicing procedures as specified in
Section 4.14) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 4.05.
Section
4.11 Maintenance
of Mortgage Impairment Insurance.
In
the
event that the Company shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring
against losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended coverage
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. The Company shall prepare and make any claims on the blanket
policy as deemed necessary by the Company in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices. Any amounts collected by the Company under any such policy relating
to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. Such policy may contain a deductible
clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been maintained
on
the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there
shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Company
shall deposit in the Custodial Account at the time of such loss the amount
not
otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause,
such amount to be deposited from the Company's funds, without reimbursement
therefor. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered
to such Purchaser a certificate of insurance and 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 such Purchaser.
51
Section
4.12 Maintenance
of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.
The
Company shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense, a blanket
Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, with broad coverage
on all officers, employees or other Persons acting in any capacity requiring
such Persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the
Mortgage Loans ("Company Employees"). Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and
Omissions Insurance Policy shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket
Bond and shall protect and insure the Company against losses, including forgery,
theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such
Company Employees. Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy
also shall protect and insure the Company against losses in connection with
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 such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall
diminish or relieve the Company from its duties and obligations as set forth
in
this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such Fidelity Bond and Errors
and
Omissions Insurance Policy shall be acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac.
Upon the request of any Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered
to
such Purchaser a certificate of insurance for such Fidelity Bond and Errors
and
Omissions Insurance Policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer
that
such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall in no event
be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to the Purchaser.
Section
4.13 Inspections.
If
any
Mortgage Loan is more than sixty (60) days delinquent and the Company has not
entered into any temporary alternative repayment arrangements with the related
Mortgagor, the Company or its agent shall inspect the Mortgaged Property in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or as may be required by the
primary mortgage guaranty insurer, to assure that the value of the Mortgaged
Property is being preserved. The Company shall keep a record of each such
inspection and, upon request, shall provide the Purchaser with an electronic
report of each such inspection.
52
Section
4.14 Restoration
of Mortgaged Property.
The
Company need not obtain the approval of the Purchaser prior to releasing any
Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied
to
the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. For claims greater than $15,000,
at a minimum the Company shall comply with the following conditions in
connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:
(i)
the Company shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion
of
repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto;
(ii)
the Company shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the
lien
of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring waivers with respect
to
mechanics' and materialmen's liens;
(iii)
the Company shall verify that the Mortgage Loan is not in default; and
(iv)
pending repairs or restoration, the Company shall place the Insurance Proceeds
or Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account.
If
the
Purchaser is named as an additional loss payee, the Company is hereby empowered
to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such a claim in the name of
the
Purchaser.
Section
4.15 Maintenance
of PMI Policy; Claims.
Except
as
indicated on the related Data File, for each Mortgage Loan with an LTV in excess
of 80% at the time of origination, the Company shall, without any cost to the
Purchaser maintain or cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and effect
a
PMI Policy insuring the portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan as to payment defaults. If the Mortgage Loan is insured by a PMI Policy
for
which the Mortgagor pays all premiums, the coverage will remain in place until
(i) the LTV decreases to 78% or (ii) the PMI Policy is otherwise terminated
pursuant to the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, 12 USC §4901, et seq. In the
event that such PMI Policy shall be terminated other than as required by law,
the Company shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement
policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated
PMI Policy. If the insurer shall cease to be a Qualified Insurer, the Company
shall determine whether recoveries under the PMI Policy are jeopardized for
reasons related to the financial condition of such insurer, it being understood
that the Company shall in no event have any responsibility or liability for
any
failure to recover under the PMI Policy for such reason. If the Company
determines that recoveries are so jeopardized, it shall notify the Purchaser
and
the Mortgagor, if required, and obtain from another Qualified Insurer a
replacement insurance policy. The Company shall not take any action which would
result in noncoverage under any applicable PMI Policy of any loss which, but
for
the actions of the Company 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
Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related PMI Policy, if
any,
of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms
of
such PMI Policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer
as a condition to the continuation of coverage under such PMI Policy. If such
PMI Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of
liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement PMI Policy as provided above.
53
In
connection with its activities as servicer, the Company agrees to prepare and
present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under
any
PMI Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such PMI Policy
and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit
recovery under any PMI Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant
to
Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any PMI Policy shall
be
deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
4.05.
Section
4.16 Title,
Management and Disposition of REO Property.
Subject
to Section 4.02, in the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired
in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of
sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser or the Purchaser's designee,
or
in the event the Purchaser 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
Company from any attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where
the
REO Property is located. The Person or Persons holding such title other than
the
Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee
for the Purchaser.
The
Company shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the
Purchaser solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The
Company, either itself or through an agent selected by the Company, shall
manage, conserve, protect and operate the 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 Company shall attempt to sell the same
(and
may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than one year, except
as
otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as the Company deems
to
be in the best interest of the Purchaser.
The
Company shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as
possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event prior to the close of
the
third calendar year beginning after the year in which title has been taken
to
such REO Property, unless (i) a REMIC election has not been made with respect
to
the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property are held,
and (ii) the Company determines that a longer period is necessary for the
orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a period longer than three years
is
permitted under the foregoing sentence, (i) the Company shall report monthly
to
the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property and
(ii) if a purchase money mortgage is taken
in
connection with such sale, such purchase money mortgage (1) shall name the
Company as mortgagee, and (2) shall not be held pursuant to this Agreement.
54
The
Company shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance
with
extended coverage in amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable
value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance
and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection
Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required above.
The
disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Company at such price,
and upon such terms and conditions, as the Company deems to be in the best
interests of the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Company, prior to any
such disposition, shall notify the Purchaser in writing of such price, terms
and
conditions and shall proceed with such disposition only if the Company is not
otherwise directed by the Purchaser, in a writing delivered to the Company,
not
later than the second Business Day following the Company’s delivery of such
notice to the Purchaser. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be
promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter
the
expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Company shall reimburse itself
for
any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees and
unreimbursed advances made pursuant to Section 5.03. On the Remittance Date
immediately following the Principal Prepayment Period in which such sale
proceeds are received the net cash proceeds of such sale remaining in the
Custodial Account shall be distributed to the Purchaser.
The
Company shall withdraw from the Custodial Account funds necessary for the proper
operation management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost
of
maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 4.10 and the fees of any
managing agent of the Company, or the Company itself. The Company shall make
monthly distributions on each Remittance Date to the Purchaser of the net cash
flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO
Property net of the expenses described in this Section 4.16 and of any reserves
reasonably required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated
liabilities for such expenses).
Section
4.17 Real
Estate Owned Reports.
Together
with the statement furnished pursuant to Section 5.02, the Company shall furnish
to the Purchaser on or before the Remittance Date each month a statement with
respect to any REO Property covering the operation of such REO Property for
the
previous month and the Company's efforts in connection with the sale of such
REO
Property and any rental of such REO Property incidental to the sale thereof
for
the previous month. That statement shall be accompanied by such other
information available to the Company as the Purchaser shall reasonably request.
55
Section
4.18 Liquidation
Reports.
Upon
the
foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the
Purchaser pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Company shall submit
to
the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property.
Section
4.19 Reports
of Foreclosures and Abandonments of Mortgaged Property.
Following
the foreclosure sale or abandonment of any Mortgaged Property, the Company
shall
report such foreclosure or abandonment as required pursuant to Section 6050J
of
the Code. The Company shall file information reports with respect to the receipt
of mortgage interest received in a trade or business and information returns
relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged
Property as required by the Code. Such reports shall be in form and substance
sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by the Code.
Section
4.20 Application
of Buydown Funds.
With
respect to each Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Company shall have deposited into
the
Escrow Account, no later than the last day of the month, Buydown Funds in an
amount equal to the aggregate undiscounted amount of payments that, when added
to the amount the Mortgagor on such Mortgage Loan is obligated to pay on all
Due
Dates in accordance with the terms of the Buydown Agreement, is equal to the
full scheduled Monthly Payments which are required to be paid by the Mortgagor
under the terms of the related Mortgage Note (without regard to the related
Buydown Agreement as if the Mortgage Loan were not subject to the terms of
the
Buydown Agreement). With respect to each Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Company
will
distribute to the Purchaser on each Remittance Date an amount of Buydown Funds
equal to the amount that, when added to the amount required to be paid on such
date by the related Mortgagor, pursuant to and in accordance with the related
Buydown Agreement, equals the full Monthly Payment that would otherwise be
required to be paid on such Mortgage Loan by the related Mortgagor under the
terms of the related Mortgage Note (as if the Mortgage Loan were not a Buydown
Mortgage Loan and without regard to the related Buydown Agreement).
If
the
Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan defaults on such Mortgage Loan during
the
Buydown Period and the Mortgaged Property securing such Buydown Mortgage Loan
is
sold in the liquidation thereof (either by the Company or the insurer under
any
related Primary Insurance Policy) the Company shall, on the Remittance Date
following the date upon which Liquidation Proceeds or REO Disposition proceeds
are received with respect to any such Buydown Mortgage Loan, distribute to
the
Purchaser all remaining Buydown Funds for such Mortgage Loan then remaining
in
the Escrow Account. Pursuant to the terms of each Buydown Agreement, any amounts
distributed to the Purchaser in accordance with the preceding sentence will
be
applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the related Buydown
Mortgage Loan. If a Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan prepays such Mortgage
Loan in its entirety during the related Buydown Period, the Company shall be
required to withdraw from the Escrow Account any Buydown Funds remaining in
the
Escrow Account with respect to such Buydown Mortgage Loan in accordance with
the
related Buydown Agreement. If a principal prepayment by a Mortgagor on a Buydown
Mortgage Loan during the related Buydown Period, together with any Buydown
Funds
then remaining in the Escrow Account related to such Buydown Mortgage Loan,
would result in a principal prepayment of the entire unpaid principal balance
of
the Buydown
Mortgage Loan, the Company shall distribute to the Purchaser on the Remittance
Date occurring in the month immediately succeeding the month in which such
Principal Prepayment is received, all Buydown Funds related to such Mortgage
Loan so remaining in the Escrow Account, together with any amounts required
to
be deposited into the Custodial Account.
56
Section
4.21 Notification
of Adjustments.
With
respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Company shall adjust the
Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Adjustment Date in compliance with the
requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note.
The
Company shall execute and deliver any and all necessary notices required under
applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding
the Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Company or
the
receipt of notice from the Purchaser that the Company has failed to adjust
a
Mortgage Interest Rate in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage
Note, the Company shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its
own funds the amount of any interest loss or deferral caused the Purchaser
thereby.
Section
4.22 Confidentiality/Protection
of Customer Information.
The
Company shall keep confidential and shall not divulge to any party, without
the
Purchaser's prior written consent, the price paid by the Purchaser for the
Mortgage Loans, except to the extent that it is reasonable and necessary for
the
Company to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities
or
other governmental agencies. Each party agrees that it shall comply with all
applicable laws and regulations regarding the privacy or security of Customer
Information and shall maintain appropriate administrative, technical and
physical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity
of
Customer Information, including maintaining security measures designed to meet
the objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for
Safeguarding Customer Information, 66 Fed. Reg. 8616 (the “Interagency
Guidelines”). For purposes of this Section, the term “Customer Information”
shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Interagency Guidelines.
Section
4.23 Fair
Credit Reporting Act
The
Company, in its capacity as servicer for each Mortgage Loan, agrees to fully
furnish, 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.
Section
4.24 Establishment
of and Deposits to Subsidy Account.
The
Company shall segregate and hold all Subsidy Funds collected and received
pursuant to the Subsidy Loans separate and apart from any of its own funds
and
general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Subsidy Accounts,
in
the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled “Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., in
trust for the Purchaser, its successors or assigns, and/or
subsequent purchasers of Residential Mortgage Loans, and various Mortgagors.”
The Subsidy Account shall be an eligible deposit account established with an
eligible institution.
57
The
Company shall, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Subsidy Account for
the following purposes:
(i)
to
deposit in the Custodial Account in the amounts and in the manner provided
for
in Section 4.04(xi);
(ii)
to
transfer funds to another eligible institution in accordance with Section 4.09
hereof;
(iii)
to
withdraw funds deposited in error; and
(iv)
to
clear and terminate the Subsidy Account upon the termination of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Company may employ
the
Escrow Account as the Subsidy Account to the extent that the Company can
separately identify any Subsidy Funds deposited therein.
58
Section
4.25 Letter
of Credit Compliance.
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall comply with all the
requirements of any Letter of Credit so as to assure the full benefit of such
Letter of Credit to the Purchaser.
Section
4.26 Letter
of Credit Draws.

GENERAL
SERVICING PROCEDURES
Section
6.01 Transfers
of Mortgaged Property.
The
Company shall use its best efforts to enforce any "due-on-sale" provision
contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny assumption by the Person
to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be sold whether by
absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor
remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged
Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Company shall, to the extent
it
has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity
of such Mortgage Loan under the "due-on-sale" clause applicable thereto,
provided, however, that the Company shall not exercise such rights if prohibited
by law from doing
so
or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any
recovery under the related PMI Policy, if any.
62
If
the
Company reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such
"due-on-sale" clause, the Company shall enter into (i) an assumption and
modification agreement with the Person to whom such property has been conveyed,
pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the
original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event the Company
is
unable under applicable law to require that the original Mortgagor remain liable
under the Mortgage Note and the Company has the prior consent of the primary
mortgage guaranty insurer, a substitution of liability agreement with the
purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor
is
released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is
substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. If an
assumption fee is collected by the Company for entering into an assumption
agreement the fee will be retained by the Company as additional servicing
compensation. In connection with any such assumption, neither the Mortgage
Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage
Loan,
the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan nor any other material
terms shall be changed without Purchaser’s consent.
To
the
extent that any Mortgage Loan is assumable, the Company shall inquire diligently
into the credit worthiness of the proposed transferee, and shall use the
underwriting criteria for approving the credit of the proposed transferee which
are used with respect to underwriting mortgage loans of the same type as the
Mortgage Loan. If the credit worthiness of the proposed transferee does not
meet
such underwriting criteria, the Company diligently shall, to the extent
permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate
the maturity of the Mortgage Loan.
Section
6.02 Satisfaction
of Mortgages and Release of Retained Mortgage Files.
Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Company of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes, the Company shall notify the Purchaser in the monthly remittance
advice as provided in Section 5.02, and may request the release of any Mortgage
Loan Documents.
If
the
Company satisfies or releases the lien of the Mortgage without first having
obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage (other
than
as a result of a modification of the Mortgage pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement or liquidation of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the terms of
this
Agreement) or should the Company otherwise prejudice any rights the Purchaser
may have under the mortgage instruments, upon written demand of the Purchaser,
the Company shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price
by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account within two (2) Business Days of
receipt of such demand by the Purchaser. The Company shall maintain the Fidelity
Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy as provided for in Section 4.12
insuring the Company against any loss it may sustain with respect to any
Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
63
Section
6.03 Servicing
Compensation.
As
compensation for its services hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to
withdraw from the Custodial Account the amount of its Servicing Fee. The
Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly and shall be computed on the basis of
the
unpaid principal balance and for the period respecting which any related
interest payment on a Mortgage Loan is received. The obligation of the Purchaser
to pay the Servicing Fee is limited to, and payable solely from, the interest
portion (including recoveries with respect to interest from Liquidation
Proceeds, to the extent permitted by Section 4.05) of such Monthly Payments.
Additional
servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, to the extent provided
in
Section 6.01, and late payment charges shall be retained by the Company to
the
extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Company shall
be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing
activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except
as specifically provided for herein.
Section
6.04 Annual
Statements as to Compliance.
On
or
before March 1 of each calendar year, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser
and any Depositor a statement of compliance addressed to the Purchaser and

that

calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) and of its performance under
this
Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement during such period has
been made under such officer’s supervision, and (b) to the best of such
officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Company has fulfilled all of its
obligations under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement
in
all material respects throughout such calendar year (or applicable portion
thereof) or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in
any
material respect, specifically identifying each such failure known to such
officer and the nature and the status thereof.

and
the Exchange Act;
(iii)
cause
each Subservicer and each Subcontractor, determined by the Company pursuant

Depositor an assessment of compliance and accountants’ attestation as and when

to
a Securitization Transaction a certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit G.
The
Company acknowledges that the parties identified in clause (iv) above may rely
on the certification provided by the Company pursuant to such clause in signing
a Sarbanes Certification and filing such with the Commission. Neither the
Purchaser nor any Depositor will request delivery of a certification under
clause (iv) above unless a Depositor is required under the Exchange Act to
file
an annual report on Form 10-K with respect to an issuing entity whose asset
pool
includes Mortgage Loans.
Each
assessment of compliance provided by a Subservicer pursuant to Section 6.06(i)
shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit F hereto
or,
in the case of a Subservicer subsequently appointed as such, on or prior to
the
date of such appointment. An assessment of compliance provided by a
Subcontractor pursuant to Section 6.06(iii) need not address any elements of
the
Servicing Criteria other than those specified by the Company pursuant to Section
4.29.

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 Company 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 Company pursuant to this Section 6.07(ii) if a failure of
the
Company 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 function of such Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other
than
the Mortgage Loans.
(iii)
The
Company shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser (or any designee of the
Purchaser), any 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 of the

REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the
Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held, the Company shall not take any action,
cause the REMIC to take any action or fail to take any action that, under the

upon the REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited
transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on
“contributions” to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the

consent of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement upon notice given as set forth in Section 10.01, without any
payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the
Purchaser or any third party.

The

Loans, the Purchaser, at its sole option, may effect Whole Loan Transfers,
Agency Transfers or Securitization Transactions, retaining the Company as the
servicer thereof or subservicer if a master servicer is employed, or as
applicable the "seller/servicer." On the Reconstitution Date, the Mortgage
Loans
transferred may cease to be covered by this Agreement; provided, however, that,
in the event that any Mortgage Loan transferred pursuant to this Section 9.01
is
rejected by the transferee, the Company shall continue to service such rejected
Mortgage Loan on behalf of the Purchaser in accordance with the terms and

forth in this Agreement or (ii) an assignment, assumption and recognition
agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, or a pooling and servicing
agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and
the
Company, which shall not create any greater obligation upon the Company.
(c)
The
Company shall execute any seller/servicer agreements required within a
reasonable period of time after receipt of such seller/servicer agreements

(f)
The Purchaser and a credit-worthy parent of the Purchaser, reasonably acceptable

In connection with an Agency Transfer, the Purchaser shall provide the

Upon receipt of such Mortgage Loan list, the Company shall provide the Purchaser
with the seller/servicer number to be used by the Company to deliver such
Mortgage Loans to the related Agency. The Purchaser shall be responsible for
providing accurate information, as specified above, to the related Agency.
If
the Purchaser fails to provide accurate information, the Purchaser shall
reimburse the Company for any and all penalties assessed by such related Agency
and any reasonable expenses incurred as a result of such inaccurate information.
The
Purchaser and the Company acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Sections
4.29, 6.04, 6.06 and 9.01(d) is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and
any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and
regulations of the Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its
terms
only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the
Securities Act, the Company acknowledges that investors in privately offered
securities may require that the Purchaser or any Depositor provide comparable
disclosure in unregistered offerings. References in this Agreement to compliance
with Regulation AB include provisions of comparable disclosure in private
offerings.
Neither
the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery
of
information or other performance under the provisions itemized in the paragraph
above other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with
the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable
to
that required under the Securities Act). The Company acknowledges that
interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time,
whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff,
consensus among participants
in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and
agrees to comply with requests made by the Purchaser or any Depositor in good
faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of
evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization
Transaction, the Company shall cooperate fully with the Purchaser to deliver
to
the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) and any Depositor,
any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other
information necessary in the good faith determination of the Purchaser or any
Depositor to permit the Purchaser or such Depositor to comply with the
provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the
Company, any Subservicer, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans,
or
the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Purchaser or
any
Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.
79
The
Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with
the
Company by providing timely notice of requests for information under these
provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required,
in
the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB.
In
the
event the Purchaser has elected to have the Company hold record title to the
Mortgages, prior to the Reconstitution Date the Company shall prepare an
Assignment of Mortgage in blank or to the trustee from the Company acceptable
to
the trustee for each Mortgage Loan that is part of the Whole Loan Transfers,
Agency Transfers or Securitization Transactions. The Purchaser shall pay all
preparation and recording costs associated therewith, if such Assignments of
Mortgage have been previously prepared and recorded in the name of the Purchaser
or its designee. The Company shall execute each Assignment of Mortgage, track
such Assignments of Mortgage to ensure they have been recorded and deliver
them
as required by the trustee upon the Company's receipt thereof. Additionally,
the
Company shall prepare and execute, at the direction of the Purchaser, any note
endorsements in connection with any and all seller/servicer agreements.
All
Mortgage Loans (i) not sold or transferred pursuant to Whole Loan Transfers,
Agency Transfers or Securitization Transactions or (ii) that are subject to
a
Securitization Transaction for which the related trust is terminated for any
reason, 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.

intervening assignment of mortgage certified by the appropriate public recording
office or by the title insurance company that issued the title policy to be
a
true and complete copy of the original recorded intervening assignment of
mortgage will be promptly delivered to the Custodian upon receipt thereof by

E
FORM
OF OPINION OF COUNSEL
@
@
@
@
| Re: | Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. | |
| Mortgage Loan Series @ |
Dear
Sir/Madam:
I
am @ of
Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. and have acted as counsel to Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A.
(the
“Company”), with respect to certain matters in connection with the sale by the
Company of the mortgage loans designated as Mortgage Loan Series @ (the
“Mortgage Loans”) pursuant to that certain Seller’s Warranties and Servicing
Agreement by and between the Company and @ (the “Purchaser”), dated as of @,
20__, (the “Agreement”), which sale is in the form of whole Mortgage Loans.
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth
in
the Agreement.
I
have
examined the following documents:
1. the
Seller’s Warranties and Servicing Agreement;
2. the
Custodial Agreement;
3. the
form
of endorsement of the Mortgage Notes; and
4. such
other documents, records and papers as I have deemed necessary and relevant
as a
basis for this opinion.
To
the
extent I have deemed necessary and proper, I have relied upon the
representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Agreement. I
have
assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the
genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the
conformity to the originals of all documents.
Based
upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that;
| 1. |
The
Company is a national banking association duly organized, validly
existing
and in good standing under the laws of the United
States.
|
| 2. |
The
Company has the power to engage in the transactions contemplated
by the
Agreement, the Custodial Agreement and all requisite power, authority
and
legal right to execute and deliver the Agreement, the Custodial Agreement
and the Mortgage Loans, and to perform and observe the terms and
conditions of such instruments.
|
| 3. |
Each
person who, as an officer or attorney-in-fact of the Company, signed
(a)
the Agreements and (b) any other document delivered prior hereto
or on the
date hereof in connection with the sale and servicing of the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with the Agreements was, at the respective times
of
such signing and delivery, and is, as of the date hereof, duly elected
or
appointed, qualified and acting as such officer or attorney-in-fact,
and
the signatures of such persons appearing on such documents are their
genuine signatures.
|
| 4. |
Each
of the Agreement, the Custodial Agreement, and the Mortgage Loans,
has
been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is
a
legal, valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with
its
terms, subject to the effect of insolvency, liquidation, conservatorship
and other similar laws administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation affecting the enforcement of contract obligations of
insured
banks and subject to the application of the rules of equity, including
those respecting the availability of specific performance, none of
which
will materially interfere with the realization of the benefits provided
thereunder or with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage
Loans.
|
| 5. |
The
Company has been duly authorized to allow any of its officers to
execute
any and all documents by original or facsimile signature in order
to
complete the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and the Custodial
Agreement and in order to execute the endorsements to the Mortgage
Notes
and the assignments of the Mortgages, and the original or facsimile
signature of the officer at the Company executing the Agreement,
the
Custodial Agreement, the endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and the
assignments of the Mortgages represents the legal and valid signature
of
said officer of the Company.
|
| 6. |
Either
(i) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery
and
performance by the Company of or compliance by the Company with the
Agreement, the Custodial Agreement or the sale and delivery of the
Mortgage Loans or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by the
Agreement and the Custodial Agreement; or (ii) any required consent,
approval, authorization or order has been obtained by the
Company.
|
| 7. |
Neither
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, nor the fulfillment
of the terms of the Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, will conflict
with or results in or will result in a breach of or constitutes or
will
constitute a default under the charter or by-laws of the Company,
the
terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which
the
Company is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject,
or
violates any statute or order, rule, regulations, writ, injunction
or
decree of any court, governmental authority or regulatory body to
which
the Company is subject or by which it is
bound.
|
| 8. |
There
is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the
best of
my knowledge, threatened against the Company which, in my opinion,
either
in any one instance or in the aggregate, may result in any material
adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition,
properties or assets of the Company or in any material impairment
of the
right or ability of the Company to carry on its business substantially
as
now conducted or in any material liability on the part of the Company
or
which would draw into question the validity of the Agreement, and
the
Custodial Agreement, or of any action taken or to be taken in connection
with the transactions contemplated thereby, or which would be likely
to
impair materially the ability of the Company to perform under the
terms of
the Agreement and the Custodial
Agreement.
|
| 9. |
For
purposes of the foregoing, I have not regarded any legal or governmental
actions, investigations or proceedings to be "threatened" unless
the
potential litigant or governmental authority has manifested to the
legal
department of the Company or an employee of the Company responsible
for
the receipt of process a present intention to initiate such proceedings;
nor have I regarded any legal or governmental actions, investigations
or
proceedings as including those that are conducted by state or federal
authorities in connection with their routine regulatory activities.
The
sale of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage as and in the manner contemplated
by the Agreements is sufficient fully to transfer all right, title
and
interest of the Company thereto as noteholder and mortgagee, apart
from
the rights to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the
Agreement.
|
| 10. |
The
form of endorsement that is to be used with respect to the Mortgage
Loans
is legally valid and sufficient to duly endorse the Mortgage Notes
to the
Purchaser. Upon the completion of the endorsement of the Mortgage
Notes
and the completion of the assignments of the Mortgages, and the recording
thereof, the endorsement of the Mortgage Notes, the delivery to the
Custodian of the completed assignments of the Mortgages, and the
delivery
of the original endorsed Mortgage Notes to the Custodian would be
sufficient to permit the entity to which such Mortgage Note is initially
endorsed at the Purchaser’s direction, and to whom such assignment of
Mortgages is initially assigned at the Purchaser’s direction, to avail
itself of all protection available under applicable law against the
claims
of any present or future creditors of the Company, and would be sufficient
to prevent any other sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation
of the Mortgages and the Mortgage Notes by the Company from being
enforceable.
|
This
opinion is given to you for your sole benefit, and no other person or entity
is
entitled to rely hereon except that the purchaser or purchasers to which you
initially and directly resell the Mortgage Loans may rely on this opinion as
if
it were addressed to them as of its date.
Sincerely,
