received in connection with such prepayment that are required to be deposited
in
the Collection Account maintained by the Master Servicer for such purpose have

Section

The
Depositor, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt of the
Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule, subject to review thereof by Deutsche Bank National Trust Company
(the
“Custodian”), for the Depositor. The Custodian is required to review, within 45
days following the Closing Date, each applicable Mortgage File. If in the course
of such review the Custodian identifies any Material Defect, the Seller shall
be
obligated to cure such Material Defect or to repurchase the related Mortgage
Loan from the Depositor (or, at the direction of and on behalf of the Depositor,
from the Trust Fund), or to substitute a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan
therefor, in each case to the same extent and in the same manner as the
Depositor is obligated to the Trustee and the Trust Fund under Section 2.02(c)
of the Trust Agreement.
Section
1.04. Representations
and Warranties of the Seller.
(a) The
Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor that as of the Closing
Date:
(i) the
Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws governing its creation and existence and has full corporate
power
and authority to own its property, carry on its business as presently conducted
and enter into and perform its obligations under the Assignment and Assumption
Agreement and this Agreement;
(ii) the
execution and delivery by the Seller of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement
and this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
on the part of the Seller; neither the execution and delivery of the Assignment
and Assumption Agreement or this Agreement, nor the consummation of the
transactions therein or herein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions
thereof or hereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute
a
default under, any of the provisions of any law, governmental rule, regulation,
judgment, decree or order binding on the Seller or its properties or the
certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Seller;
(iii) the
execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of the Assignment and
Assumption Agreement and this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby and hereby do not require the consent or approval of,
the
giving of notice to, the registration with, or the taking of any other action
in
respect of, any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency, except
such as has been obtained, given, effected or taken prior to the date
hereof;
3
(iv) each
of
the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and this Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by the Seller and, assuming due authorization, execution
and delivery by the Bank, in the case of the Assignment and Assumption
Agreement, and the Depositor, in the case of this Agreement, constitutes a
valid
and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable against it in accordance with
its respective terms, except as such enforceability may be subject to (A)
applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws and other similar laws affecting
the
enforcement of the rights of creditors generally and (B) general principles
of
equity regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding
in
equity or at law; and
(v) there
are
no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Seller,
threatened or likely to be asserted against or affecting the Seller, before
or
by any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body (A) with
respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Assignment and Assumption
Agreement or this Agreement or (B) with respect to any other matter which in
the
judgment of the Seller will be determined adversely to the Seller and will
if
determined adversely to the Seller materially and adversely affect it or its
business, assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, or adversely
affect its ability to perform its obligations under the Assignment and
Assumption Agreement or this Agreement.
(b) The
Seller represents and warrants upon delivery of the Mortgage Loans to the
Depositor hereunder, as to each, that, as of the Closing Date:
(i) The
information set forth with respect to the Mortgage Loans on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule provides an accurate listing of the Mortgage Loans, and the information
with respect to each Mortgage Loan on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is true and
correct in all material respects at the date or dates respecting which such
information is given;
(ii) There
are
no defaults (other than delinquency in payment) in complying with the terms
of
any Mortgage, and the Seller has no notice as to any taxes, governmental
assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold
payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing but which have
not been paid;
(iii) Except
in
the case of Cooperative Loans, if any, each Mortgage requires all buildings
or
other improvements on the related Mortgaged Property to be insured by a
generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage
and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the related Mortgaged
Property is located pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the
requirements of the guidelines of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. If upon origination
of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property was in an area identified in the
Federal Register 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 Flood Insurance Administration is in effect, which policy conforms
to
the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Flood Insurance
Administration. Each Mortgage obligates the related Mortgagor thereunder to
maintain the 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. Where required by state law
or
regulation, each Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier
of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or
“blanket” hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned
unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding
obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full
force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Depositor upon the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
4
(iv) Each
Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole
or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien
of
the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that
would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or
rescission;
(v) In
the
case of approximately 93.73% and 6.27% of the Mortgage Loans (by Scheduled
Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date), the related Mortgage evidences a
valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien or second lien,
respectively, on the related Mortgaged Property (including all improvements
on
the Mortgaged Property). The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to: (1) the
first Mortgage, in the case of a Mortgaged Property that is secured by a
perfected second lien, (2) liens of current real property taxes and assessments
not yet due and payable and, if the related Mortgaged Property is a condominium
unit, any lien for common charges permitted by statute, (3) covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of
public record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage acceptable to
mortgage lending institutions in the area in which the related Mortgaged
Property is located and specifically referred to in the lender’s Title Insurance
Policy or attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title delivered to the
originator of such Mortgage Loan, and (4) such other matters to which like
properties are commonly subject which do not, individually or in the aggregate,
materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided
by the Mortgage. In the case of approximately 93.73% of the Mortgage Loans
(by
Scheduled Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date), any security agreement,
chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to, and delivered to the Trustee
in connection with, a Mortgage Loan establishes a valid, subsisting and
enforceable first lien on the property described therein and the Depositor
has
full right to sell and assign the same to the Trustee;
5
(vi) Immediately
prior to the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor,
the
Seller was the sole owner of record and holder of each Mortgage Loan, and the
Seller had good and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer
and
sell each Mortgage Loan to the Depositor free and clear, except as described
in
paragraph (v) above, of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien,
pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority,
subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party,
to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement;
(vii) Each
Mortgage Loan other than any Cooperative Loan is covered by either (i) an
attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title the form and substance of
which is generally acceptable to mortgage lending institutions originating
mortgage loans in the locality where the related Mortgaged Property is located
or (ii) an ALTA Mortgagee Title Insurance Policy or other generally acceptable
form of policy of insurance, issued by a title insurer qualified to do business
in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the
originator of the Mortgage Loan, and 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 described in paragraph (v) above). If
the
Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit located in a state in which a title
insurer will generally issue an endorsement, then the related Title Insurance
Policy contains an endorsement insuring the validity of the creation of the
condominium form of ownership with respect to the project in which such unit
is
located. With respect to any Title Insurance Policy, the originator is the
sole
insured of such mortgagee Title Insurance Policy, such mortgagee Title Insurance
Policy is in full force and effect and will inure to the benefit of the
Depositor upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, no claims have been made under such mortgagee Title Insurance Policy
and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done,
by
act or omission, anything that would impair the coverage of such mortgagee
Title
Insurance Policy;
(viii) No
foreclosure action is being threatened or commenced with respect to any Mortgage
Loan. There is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation
of
any Mortgaged Property (or, in the case of any Cooperative Loan, the related
cooperative unit) and each such property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake
or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty, so as to have
a
material adverse effect on the value of the related Mortgaged Property as
security for the related Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were
intended;
(ix) 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;
(x) Each
Mortgage Loan will have a CLTV of 100% or less as of the Closing
Date;
6
(xi) Each
Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G of
the Code and Treas. Reg. §1.860G-2;
(xii) Each
Mortgage Loan at the time it was made complied in all material respects with
applicable local, state and federal laws, including, but not limited to, all
applicable predatory, abusive and fair lending laws; and, specifically, (a)
no
Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in New Jersey is a
“High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective
November 27, 2003 (N.J.S.A. 46:10B-22 et
seq.);
(b) no
Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in New Mexico is a
“High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act
effective January 1, 2004 (N.M. Stat. Xxx. §§ 58-21A-1 et.
seq.);
(c) no
Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in Massachusetts is a
“High-Cost Home Mortgage Loan” as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home
Loan Practices Act effective November 7, 2004 (Mass. Xxx. Laws Ch. 183C); and
(d) no
Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in Indiana is a “High Cost
Home Loan” as defined in the Indiana Home Loan Practices Act effective January
1, 2005 (Ind. Code Xxx. § 24-9-1 et
seq.);
(xiii) No
Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost Loan” or “Covered Loan,” as applicable, as such
terms are defined in the then current Standard & Poor’s LEVELS® Glossary. In
addition, no Mortgage Loan is a “high-cost,” “high-cost home,” “covered,”
“high-risk home” or “predatory” loan under any applicable federal, state or
local predatory or abusive lending law (or a similarly classified loan using
different terminology under a law imposing heightened regulatory scrutiny or
additional legal liability for residential mortgage loans having high interest
rates, points and/or fees);
(xiv) No
Mortgage Loan was at the time of origination subject to the Home Ownership
and
Equity Protection Act of 1994 (15 U.S.C. § 1602(c)) (“HOEPA”), Regulation Z
(12 CFR 226.32) or any comparable state law;
(xv) The
information set forth in the Prepayment Charge Schedule, included as part of
the
Mortgage Loan Schedule at Schedule A hereto (including the Prepayment Charge
Summary attached thereto) is complete, true and correct in all material respects
on the date or dates on which such information is furnished and each Prepayment
Charge is permissible, originated in compliance with, and enforceable in
accordance with its terms under, applicable federal, state and local law (except
to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws affecting creditor’s
rights generally or the collectibility thereof may be limited due to
acceleration in connection with foreclosure);
(xvi) No
Mortgage Loan was originated (or modified) on or after October 1, 2002, and
before March 7, 2003, which is secured by a mortgaged property located in
Georgia;
7
(xvii) With
respect to any hazard insurance policy covering a Mortgage Loan and the related
Mortgaged Property, the Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of
the
Bank’s or the borrower’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would
impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided
for therein, or the validity and binding effect of either, including without
limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation
or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by
any
attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been
received, retained or realized by the Seller;
(xviii) Neither
the Seller nor the Bank has waived the performance by the borrower of any
action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause a Mortgage
Loan to be in default, nor has the Seller or the Bank waived any default
resulting from any action or inaction by the borrower;
(xix) The
terms
of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or
modified in any respect, except by a written instrument which has been recorded,
if necessary to protect the interests of the Depositor and which has been
delivered to the Custodian;
(xx) The
Mortgaged Property relating to each Mortgage Loan is a fee simple property
located in the state identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists
of a
parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon,
or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a
low-rise condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit
development; provided,
however,
that
any condominium project or planned unit development shall conform with the
applicable Xxxxxxx Mac requirements regarding such dwellings. No portion of
the
Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes;
(xxi) The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its
terms. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other related
agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute
and
deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other related agreement,
and
the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by
such
parties. The documents, instruments and agreements submitted for loan
underwriting were not falsified and contain no untrue statement of material
fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to
make the information and statements therein not misleading. To the best of
Seller’s knowledge, no fraud was committed in connection with the origination of
the Mortgage Loan;
(xxii) Each
Mortgage Loan has been closed and the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been
fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder,
and
any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement
and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with.
All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan
and
the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the borrower is not entitled to
any
refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage;
8
(xxiii) There
is
no default (other than delinquency in payment), 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 Seller nor its predecessors has waived any
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration;
(xxiv) 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;
(xxv) Each
Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions which render the rights
and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the
related Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security, including (A) in
the
case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (B)
otherwise by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or
other exemption available to the related Mortgagor which would materially
interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale
or
the right to foreclose the Mortgage subject to the applicable federal and state
laws and judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and rights of redemption.
Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee's
sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder
of
the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the
property;
(xxvi)
The
Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the
lien
of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable
security agreement or chattel mortgage;
(xxvii) 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 Depositor to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in
connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(xxviii) The
Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents
required to be delivered for the Mortgage Loan by the Seller under this
Agreement as set forth in Section 1.02 hereof have been delivered to the
Custodian. The Seller is in possession of a complete, true and accurate Mortgage
File in compliance with Section 1.02 hereof, except for such documents the
originals of which have been delivered to the Custodian;
9
(xxix)
The
Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording
under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is
located;
(xxx) The
Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment
of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the
Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent
of
the Mortgagee thereunder;
(xxxi) No
Mortgage Loan contains provisions pursuant to which Scheduled Payments are
paid
or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established
by
the Mortgagor or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other
than the Mortgagor, nor does any Mortgage Loan contain any other similar
provisions currently in effect which may constitute a “buydown” provision. No
Mortgage Loan is a graduated payment mortgage loan and no Mortgage Loan has
a
shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature;
(xxxii) 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.
The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is insured
by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the
mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to
Xxxxxxx Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original
principal amount of any Mortgage Loan;
(xxxiii)
The
origination and collection practices used with respect to each Mortgage Loan
have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, and have been in
all
respects in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. With respect
to
escrow deposits and escrow payments, all such payments are in the possession
of
the Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which
customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All escrow
payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law.
An
escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established
in
an amount sufficient to pay for every item which remains unpaid and which has
been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or escrow
payments or other charges or payments due the Seller have been capitalized
under
the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. All Mortgage Rate adjustments have been
made
in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the related
Mortgage Note. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state and local
law
has been properly paid and credited;
(xxxiv)
The
Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed
prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application by a qualified 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 appraiser
both satisfy the requirements of Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was
originated;
10
(xxxv) The
Mortgaged Property is free from any and all toxic or hazardous substances and
there exists no violation of any local, state or federal environmental law,
rule
or regulation. There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving
any
Mortgaged Property of which the Seller is aware in which compliance with any
environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; and to the best of the
Seller’s knowledge, nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all
requirements of each such law, rule or regulation;
(xxxvi) The
Mortgage Loan does not contain a provision permitting or requiring conversion
to
a fixed interest rate Mortgage Loan;
(xxxvii) No
Mortgage Loan was made in connection with (i) the construction or rehabilitation
of a Mortgaged Property or (ii) facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a
Mortgaged Property;
(xxxviii)
No
action, inaction or event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has
existed that has resulted or will result in the exclusion from, denial of or
defense to coverage under any applicable special hazard insurance policy,
borrower paid primary mortgage loan insurance policy or bankruptcy bond,
irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. In connection with the
placement of any such insurance, no commission, fee or other compensation has
been or will be received by the Seller or any designee of the Seller or any
corporation in which the Seller or any officer, director or employee had a
financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance; and
(xxxix) Each
original Mortgage was recorded and, except for those Mortgage Loans subject
to
the MERS identification system, all subsequent assignments of the original
Mortgage (other than the assignment to the Depositor) have been recorded in
the
appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is necessary to perfect
the
liens thereof as against creditors of the Seller, or are in the process of
being
recorded.
(xl) As
of the
Cut-off Date, approximately 1.75% of the Mortgage Loans (as listed on Schedule
B) were 29 days or less delinquent in payment and no Mortgage Loan was more
than
29 days delinquent, as determined in accordance with the OTS method, and, with
respect to any such delinquent Mortgage Loan, the related borrower will make
a
payment in full of such delinquent amount no later than August 31,
2006;
11
(xli) In
addition to the foregoing representations and warranties made in subparagraphs
(i) through (xl) of this Section 1.04(b), the Seller further represents and
warrants upon delivery of the Mortgage Loans to be included in Pool 1 (the
“Pool
1 Mortgage Loans”) , as to each such Mortgage Loan, that:
(a) Each
Pool
1 Mortgage Loan is in compliance with the anti-predatory lending eligibility
for
purchase requirements of Xxxxxx Mae’s Selling Guide;
(b) No
Pool 1
Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in Georgia is a “High-Cost
Home Loan” as defined in the Georgia Fair Lending Act; no Pool 1 Mortgage Loan
secured by a Mortgaged Property located in New York is a “High-Cost Home Loan”
as defined in Section 6-1 of the New York State Banking Law; no Pool 1 Mortgage
Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in Arkansas is a “High-Cost Home
Loan” as defined in the Arkansas Home Loan Protection Act effective June 24,
2003 (Act 1340 of 2003); no Pool 1 Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property
located in Kentucky is a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the Kentucky
high-cost home loan statute effective June 24, 2003 (Ky. Rev. Stat. Section
360.100); no Pool 1 Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in
Illinois is a “High-Risk Home Loan” as defined in the Illinois High-Risk Home
Loan Act (815 Ill. Comp. Stat. 137/1 et
seq.);
(c) To
the
best of the Seller’s knowledge, except with respect to broker yield spread
premium (“YSP”) as permitted by law, no borrower was required to select a Pool 1
Mortgage Loan product offered by the Transferor which is a higher cost product
designed for less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of such Mortgage
Loan’s origination, the borrower did not qualify taking into account credit
history and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost credit product then offered
by the Transferor or an affiliate of the Transferor. If, at the time of the
loan
application, the borrower may have qualified for a lower-cost credit product
then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate of the Transferor, the Transferor
referred the borrower’s application to such affiliate for underwriting
consideration;
(d) To
the
best of the Seller’s knowledge, the methodology used in underwriting the
extension of credit for each Pool
1
Mortgage Loan
does not
rely solely on the borrower’s equity in the collateral for determining approval
of credit extension, but relies on additional factors such as the borrower’s
income, assets, liabilities and/or credit history. Such underwriting methodology
confirmed that at the time of origination (application/approval), the borrower
had a reasonable ability to make timely payments on the related Pool
1
Mortgage Loan;
12
(e) With
respect to any Pool 1 Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting
imposition of a Prepayment Charge upon a prepayment prior to maturity, to the
best of the Seller’s knowledge: (i) pursuant to the Originator’s underwriting
guidelines, the borrower agreed to such a premium in exchange for a monetary
benefit, including but not limited to a rate or fee reduction, (ii) prior to
such Pool 1 Mortgage Loan’s origination, the borrower was offered the option of
obtaining a mortgage loan that did not require payment of such Prepayment
Charge, (iii) the Prepayment Charge is disclosed to the borrower in the loan
documents pursuant to applicable state and federal law, (iv) the duration of
the
prepayment period shall not exceed three years from the date of the note, and
(v) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, the
applicable Servicer shall not impose such Prepayment Charge in any instance
when
the mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of the borrower’s default in
making the loan payments;
(f) To
the
best of the Seller’s knowledge, no borrower was required to purchase any credit
life, disability, accident, unemployment or health insurance product or debt
cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit
evidenced by the Pool
1
Mortgage Loan.
No
borrower obtained a prepaid single-premium credit life, disability, accident,
unemployment, mortgage or health insurance policy in connection with the
origination of the Pool
1
Mortgage Loan;
and no
proceeds from any Pool
1
Mortgage Loan
were
used to purchase single premium credit insurance policies or debt cancellation
agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such
Pool
1
Mortgage Loan;
(g) To
the
best of the Seller’s knowledge,
all
points and fees related to each Pool 1 Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing
to the borrower in accordance with applicable state and federal law and
regulation. Except in the case of a Pool 1 Mortgage Loan in an original
principal amount of less than $60,000 which would have resulted in an
unprofitable origination, no borrower was charged “points and fees” (whether or
not financed) in an amount greater than 5% of the principal amount of such
Pool
1 Mortgage Loan, such 5% limitation calculated in accordance with Xxxxxx Mae’s
anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in the Xxxxxx Xxx Selling
Guide;
(h) All
fees
and charges (including finance charges) and whether or not financed, assessed,
collected or to be collected in connection with the origination and servicing
of
each Pool 1 Mortgage Loan have been disclosed in writing to the borrower in
accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation;
(i) The
Seller shall cause the applicable Servicer to transmit full-file credit
reporting data for each Pool 1 Mortgage Loan pursuant to Xxxxxx Mae Guide
Announcement 95-19 and, with respect to each Pool 1 Mortgage Loan, the Seller
shall cause the applicable Servicer to report one of the following statuses
each
month as follows: new origination, current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days,
etc.), foreclosed, or charged-off;
13
(j) The
applicable Servicer for each Pool 1 Mortgage Loan has fully furnished in the
past (and the Seller shall cause the applicable Servicer to furnish in the
future), in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing
regulations, accurate and complete information on its borrower credit files
to
Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company, on a monthly
basis;
(k) The
outstanding Scheduled Principal Balance of each Pool 1 Mortgage Loan does not
exceed the applicable maximum original loan amount limitations with respect
to
first lien or subordinate lien one-to-four family residential mortgage loans,
as
applicable, as set forth in the Xxxxxx Xxx Selling Guide;
(l) No
Pool 1
Mortgage Loan is a balloon mortgage loan that has an original stated maturity
of
less than seven years;
(m) No
Pool 1
Mortgage Loan is subject to mandatory arbitration except when the terms of
the
arbitration also contain a waiver provision that provides that in the event
of a
sale or transfer of the Mortgage Loan or interest in the Mortgage Loan the
Seller shall waive the terms of the arbitration (or in the event of a sale
or
transfer of the Mortgage Loan or interest therein to Xxxxxx Mae, the terms
of
the arbitration are null and void). The Seller or applicable Servicer will
notify the borrower in writing within sixty days of the sale or transfer of
the
Mortgage Loan to Xxxxxx Xxx that the terms of the arbitration are null and
void;
and
(n) With
respect to Pool 1 Mortgage Loans secured by manufactured housing, each contract
is secured by a “single family residence” within the meaning of Section
25(e)(10) of the Code. The fair market value of the manufactured home securing
each contract was at least 80% of the adjusted issue price of the contract
at
either (i) the time the contract was originated (determined pursuant to the
REMIC provisions of the Code or (ii) the time the contract was transferred
to
the Seller). Each such contract is a “qualified mortgage” under Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code.
(c) In
addition to the representations and warranties made with respect to the Mortgage
Loans in Section 1.04(b), the Seller hereby covenants that with respect to
any
Mortgage Loan listed in Schedule C (a “First Payment Default Mortgage Loan”), if
the related Mortgagor fails to make the first Scheduled Payment due on such
Mortgage Loan following the initial sale date (as set forth in Schedule C)
of
the Mortgage Loan by the Originator to the Bank within two calendar months
following the date upon which such first payment was due, then the Seller shall
purchase such Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund at the FPD Purchase Price.
By
way of example, a payment due on August 1, 2006 must be made by the Mortgagor
on
or before September 30, 2006.
14
(d) It
is
understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and covenant set
forth in Sections 1.04(b) and 1.04(c) herein shall survive the Closing Date.
Upon discovery by either the Seller or the Depositor of a breach of any of
the
foregoing representations, warranties and covenant (excluding a breach of
subparagraph (xv) under Section 1.04(b)) that adversely and materially affects
the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall
give prompt written notice to the other party. Within 60 days of the discovery
of any such breach, the Seller shall either (a) cure such breach in all material
respects, (b) repurchase such Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in respect
thereof from the Depositor at the applicable Purchase Price (or FPD Purchase
Price in the case of a breach of the representation and warranty made in
subparagraph (xl) of Section 1.04(b) or the covenant made in Section 1.04(c)
or
(c) within the two-year period following the Closing Date, as applicable,
substitute a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage
Loan.
With respect to any of the foregoing representations, warranties and covenant
made in subparagraphs (xi), (xii), (xiii), (xiv), (xv), (xvi), (xl) and (xli)
of
Section 1.04(b) and Section 1.04(c), a breach of any such representations,
warranties or covenant shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the
value of the affected Mortgage Loan and the interests of Certificateholders
therein, irrespective of the Seller’s knowledge of such breach.
Notwithstanding
Section 1.04(d), in connection with the Seller’s representations and warranties
made in subparagraph (xv) of Section 1.04(b) and within 90 days of the earlier
of discovery by the Seller or receipt of notice from the applicable Servicer
of
a breach of such representation and warranty by the Seller, which breach
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Class P Certificateholders
in any Prepayment Charge, the Seller shall, if (i) such representation and
warranty is breached and a Principal Prepayment has occurred or (ii) if a change
in law subsequent to the Closing Date limits the enforceability of the
Prepayment Charge (other than in the circumstances set forth in subparagraph
(xv) of Section 1.04(b)), pay, at the time of such Principal Prepayment or
change in law, the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, for the benefit
of
the holders of the Class P Certificates, by depositing such amount into the
Certificate Account no later than the Deposit Date immediately following the
Prepayment Period in which such Principal Prepayment on the related Mortgage
Loan or such change in law has occurred, net of any Servicer Prepayment Charge
Payment Amount made by the applicable Servicer with respect to the related
Mortgage Loan in lieu of collection of such Prepayment Charge.
Section
1.05. Grant
Clause.
It
is
intended that the conveyance of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to
the Mortgage Loans and other property conveyed pursuant to this Agreement on
the
Closing Date shall constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such
property and not a grant of a security interest to secure a loan. However,
if
any such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that:
(a) the rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant
to
the terms of this Agreement; (b) the Seller hereby grants to the Depositor
a first
priority security interest to secure payment of an obligation in an amount
equal
to the purchase price set forth in the Terms Letter in all of the Seller’s
right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, the Mortgage Loans and other property; and (c) this Agreement shall
constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
15
Section
1.06. Assignment
by Depositor.
Concurrently
with the execution of this Agreement, the Depositor shall assign its interest
under this Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, and
the
Trustee then shall succeed to all rights of the Depositor under this Agreement.
All references to the rights of the Depositor in this Agreement shall be deemed
to be for the benefit of and exercisable by its assignee or designee,
specifically including the Trustee.

of
each Class, the Certificateholders of which are required to consent to any
such

Principal Amount or, if applicable, Class Notional Amount (or Percentage
Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. For purposes of this
paragraph, references to “Certificateholder” or “Certificateholders” shall be
deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the
related Certificates Owners.
(c) It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 2.03
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be

of
obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations
as
the Trustee may prescribe.

the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy,

remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power
or
privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right,
remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver
shall
be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to
have
granted such waiver, as well as the Trustee.
17
Section
