having an aggregate principal balance on the related Cut-off Date set forth
in
the related Term Sheet in an amount as set forth in the Confirmation, or in
such

Closing Date.
Section
2.02 Purchase
Price.
The
Purchase Price for each Mortgage
Loan shall be the percentage of par as stated in the Confirmation (subject
to
adjustment as provided therein), multiplied by the aggregate principal balance,
as of the related Cut-off Date, of the Mortgage Loans listed on the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the related Term Sheet, after application
of
scheduled payments of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date
whether or not collected. The initial principal amount of the

so computed as of the related Cut-off Date.
In
addition to the Purchase Price as

of each Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date is determined after
application of payments of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date
whether or not collected, together with any unscheduled principal prepayments
collected prior to the related Cut-off Date; provided, however, that payments
of
scheduled principal and interest prepaid for a Due Date beyond the related

As

the

designated by Purchaser, on or before the related Closing Date, at the expense
of the Company. The Company shall maintain a Servicing File
consisting of a copy of the contents of each Mortgage File and the originals
or
microfilmed copies of the documents in each Mortgage File not delivered to the
Purchaser. The Servicing File shall contain all documents necessary to service
the Mortgage Loans. The possession of each Servicing File by the
Company is at the will of the Purchaser, for the sole purpose of servicing
the
related Mortgage Loan, and such retention and possession by the Company is
in a
custodial capacity only. From the related Closing Date, the ownership
of each Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the contents
of the related Mortgage File and all rights, benefits, proceeds and obligations
arising therefrom or in connection therewith, has been vested in the
Purchaser. All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including,
but not limited to, all funds received on or in connection with the Mortgage
Loans and all records or documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans prepared
by or which come into the possession of the Company shall be received and held
by the Company in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser as the owner of the
Mortgage Loans. Any portion of the Mortgage Files retained by the
Company shall be appropriately identified in the Company's computer system
to
clearly reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by the
Purchaser. The Company shall release its custody of the contents of
the Mortgage Files only in accordance with written instructions of the
Purchaser, except when such release is required as incidental to the Company's
servicing of the Mortgage Loans or is in connection with a repurchase of any
Mortgage Loan or Loans with respect thereto pursuant to this Agreement and
the
related Term Sheet, such written instructions shall not be
required.
Section

and Records.
The
sale of each Mortgage Loan has been
reflected on the Company's balance sheet and other financial statements as
a
sale of assets by the Company. The Company shall be responsible for
maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for the
Mortgage Loans which shall be appropriately identified in the Company's computer
system to clearly reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loan by the
Purchaser. In particular, the Company shall maintain in its
possession, available for inspection by the Purchaser, or its designee and

deliver to the Purchaser upon demand, evidence of compliance with all federal,
state and local laws, rules and regulations, and requirements of FNMA or FHLMC,

Protection Act of 1973, as amended, to the Mortgaged Property, documentation
evidencing insurance coverage of any condominium project as required by FNMA

applicable regulator.
Section
2.06. Transfer
of Mortgage Loans.
The
Company shall keep at its servicing
office books and records in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as
it
may prescribe, the Company shall note transfers of Mortgage Loans. No
transfer of a Mortgage Loan may be made unless such transfer is in compliance
with the terms hereof. For the purposes of this Agreement, the
Company shall be under no obligation to deal with any person with respect to
this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan unless a notice of the transfer of such
Mortgage Loan has been delivered to the Company in accordance with this Section
2.06 and the books and records of the Company show such person as the owner
of
the Mortgage Loan. The Purchaser may, subject to the terms of this
Agreement, sell and transfer one or more of the Mortgage Loans, provided,
however, that (i) the transferee will not be deemed to be a Purchaser hereunder
binding upon the Company unless such transferee shall agree in writing to be
bound by the terms of this Agreement and an original counterpart of the
instrument of transfer in an Assignment and Assumption of this Agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto executed by the transferee shall
have been delivered to the Company and the Company, and (ii) in no event shall
there be more than three (3) Persons at any given time having the status of
"Purchaser" hereunder. The Purchaser also shall advise the Company of
the transfer. Upon receipt of notice of the transfer, the Company
shall xxxx its books and records to reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans
of such assignee, and the previous Purchaser shall be released from its
obligations hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans sold or

to a
bailee letter agreement. All other documents in Exhibit A hereto,
together with all other documents executed in connection with the Mortgage
Loan
that Company may have in its possession, shall be retained by the Company in

including riders and endorsements thereto, on the Closing Date, the Company
shall, promptly upon receipt thereof and in any case not later than 120 days
from the related Closing Date, deliver such original documents, including
original recorded documents, to the Purchaser or its designee (unless the
Company is delayed in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such
documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording
office). If delivery is not completed within 120 days solely due to
delays in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall
not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Company shall
deliver such document to Purchaser, or its designee, within such time period
as
specified in a Company's Officer's Certificate. In the event that
documents have not been received by the date specified in the Company's
Officer's Certificate, a subsequent Company's Officer's Certificate shall be
delivered by such date specified in the prior Company's Officer's Certificate,
stating a revised date for receipt of documentation. The procedure
shall be repeated until the documents have been received and delivered. The
Company shall continue to use its best efforts to effect delivery within 210
days of the related Closing Date.
The
Company shall pay all initial
recording fees, for the assignments of mortgage and any other fees in connection
with the transfer of all original documents to the Purchaser or its designee,
including any fees, costs or expenses related to the registration of the
Mortgage Loans with MERS, if applicable. The Company shall prepare,
in recordable form, all assignments of mortgage necessary to assign the Mortgage
Loans to Purchaser, or its designee.
Company
shall provide an original or
duplicate original of the title insurance policy to Purchaser or its designee
within ninety (90) days of the receipt of the recorded documents (required
for
issuance of such policy) from the applicable recording office.
Any
review by the Purchaser, or its
designee, of the Mortgage Files shall in no way alter or reduce the Company's
obligations hereunder.
If
the Purchaser or its designee
discovers any defect with respect to a Mortgage File, the Purchaser shall,
or
shall cause its designee to, give written specification of such defect to the
Company which may be given in the exception report or the certification
delivered pursuant to this Section 2.07, or otherwise in writing and the Company
shall cure or repurchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section
3.03.
The
Company shall forward to the
Purchaser, or its designee, original documents evidencing an assumption,
modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into
in
accordance with Section 4.01 or 6.01 within one week of their execution;
provided, however, that the Company shall provide the Purchaser, or its
designee, with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for
recordation within two weeks of its execution, and shall provide the original
of
any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified
by
the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original within 120 days of its submission for recordation.
From
time to time the Company may have
a need for Mortgage Loan Documents to be released from Purchaser, or its
designee. Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee, upon the
written request of the Company, in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto, within
ten (10) Business Days, deliver to the Company, any requested documentation
previously delivered to Purchaser as part of the Mortgage File, provided that
such documentation is promptly returned to Purchaser, or its designee, when
the
Company no longer requires possession of the document, and provided that during
the time that any such documentation is held by the Company, such possession
is
in trust for the benefit of Purchaser. Company shall indemnify
Purchaser, and its designee, from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, costs and expenses (including court
costs and reasonable attorney's fees) resulting from or related to the loss,
damage, or misplacement of any documentation delivered to Company pursuant
to
this paragraph.
Section
2.08 Quality
Control Procedures.
The
Company must have an internal
quality control program that verifies, on a regular basis, the existence and
accuracy of the legal documents, credit documents, property appraisals, and
underwriting decisions. The program must be capable of evaluating and
monitoring the overall quality of its loan production and servicing
activities. The program is to ensure that the Mortgage Loans are
originated and serviced in accordance with prudent mortgage banking practices
and accounting principles; guard against dishonest, fraudulent, or negligent
acts; and guard against errors and omissions by officers, employees, or other
authorized persons.
Section
2.09 No

Company and the Purchaser agree
that no broker, Investment Banker, agent or other person (including but not

or
any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable

(g) The
origination and
servicing practices used by the Company, and any prior originator or Company
with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been legal and in
accordance with applicable laws and regulations and the Mortgage Loan Documents,
and in all material respects proper and prudent in the mortgage origination
and
servicing business. With respect to escrow deposits and payments that
the Company, on behalf of the investor, is entitled to collect, all such
payments are in the possession of, or under the control 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
and
the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. As to any
Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an escrow, escrow of funds is not
prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient
to
pay for every escrowed item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is
not
yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or other charges or payments
due under the Mortgage Note have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the
related Mortgage Note;
(h) The

federal, state and local laws, and regulations, if applicable, meets the minimum
capital requirements set forth by the OCC, and is in good standing to sell

occurred which would make Company unable to comply with eligibility requirements
or which would require notification to either FNMA or FHLMC;
(k) The
Company does not believe, nor does it have any cause or reason to believe,
that
it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in this Agreement and the
related Term Sheet. The Company is solvent and the sale of the Mortgage Loans
will not cause the Company to become insolvent. The sale of the
Mortgage Loans is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud
any
of the Company's creditors;
(l) No
statement, tape, diskette, form, report or other document prepared by, or on

ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the related Term
Sheet; and
(o) Neither
the Company nor the Purchaser have dealt with any broker, investment banker,
agent or other person that may be entitled to any commission or compensation
in
connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans.
Section
3.02 Representations
and Warranties as to Individual
Mortgage Loans.
References
in this Section to
percentages of Mortgage Loans refer in each case to the percentage of the
aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the related Cut-off
Date, based on the outstanding balances of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date, and giving effect to scheduled Monthly Payments due on or prior to the
related Cut-off Date, whether or not received. References to percentages of
Mortgaged Properties refer, in each case, to the percentages of expected
aggregate principal balances of the related Mortgage Loans (determined as
described in the preceding sentence). The Company hereby represents and warrant
to the Purchaser, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date
as
follows:
(a) The
information set
forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the related Term Sheet is true,
complete and correct in all material respects as of the related Cut-Off
Date;
(b) The
Mortgage creates a
valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien or a first priority ownership
interest in an estate in fee simple in real property securing the related
Mortgage Note subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other
laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors.
(c) All
payments due prior
to the related Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan have been made as of the
related Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan has not been dishonored; there are
no
material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan; the Company has not
advanced its own funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance
of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property subject
to
the Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required
by
the Mortgage Loan; and, as of the related Closing Date, there has been no more
than one delinquency during the related preceding twelve-month period, and
such
delinquency did not last more than 30 days;
(d) There
are no defaults by
the Company in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes,
governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal
charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and
owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount
sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which
has been assessed but is not yet due and payable;
(e) The
terms of the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or
modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have been recorded
to the extent any such recordation is required by law, or, necessary to protect
the interest of the Purchaser. No instrument of waiver, alteration or
modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole
or
in part, from the terms thereof except in connection with an assumption
agreement and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the
terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule; the substance of
any
such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of
any
related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and title insurance policy, to the
extent required by the related policies;
(f) The
Mortgage Note and
the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the
operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the
exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or Mortgage
unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with
respect thereto; and as of the Closing Date the Mortgagor was not a debtor
in
any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;
(g) All
buildings or other
customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by
an
insurer acceptable under the FNMA or FHLMC Guides, against loss by fire, hazards
of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the FNMA
or
FHLMC Guide, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10
of
this Agreement. All such standard hazard policies are in full force and effect
and on the date of origination contained a standard mortgagee clause naming
the
Company and its successors in interest and assigns as loss payee and such clause
is still in effect and all premiums due thereon have been paid. If
required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Mortgage
Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration which policy conforms
to FNMA or FHLMC requirements, as well as all additional requirements set forth
in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. Such policy was issued by an
insurer acceptable under FNMA or FHLMC guidelines. The Mortgage
obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the
Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so,
authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the
Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor;
(h) Any
and all requirements
of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury,
truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection,
equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan
have
been complied with in all material respects; the Company maintains, and shall
maintain, evidence of such compliance as required by applicable law or
regulation and shall make such evidence available for inspection at the
Company's office during normal business hours upon reasonable advance
notice;
(i) The
Mortgage has not
been satisfied, canceled or subordinated, in whole or in part, or rescinded,
and
the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage,
in
whole or in part nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any
such
release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Company has not waived
the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to
perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has
the
Company waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the
Mortgagor;
(j) The
Mortgage is a valid,
subsisting, enforceable and perfected 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 affixed
to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at
any
time with respect to the foregoing securing the Mortgage Note's original
principal balance subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and
other laws of general application affecting the rights of
creditors. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any
evidence of any security interest or other interest or right
thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and
encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only
to
(1) the lien of non-delinquent current real property taxes and assessments
not
yet due and payable, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of
way,
easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording
which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either
(A)
which are referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the
originator or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator
of
the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the residential use
or
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, and
(3) 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 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,
enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest on
the
property described therein, and the Company has the full right to sell and
assign the same to the Purchaser;
(k) The
Mortgage Note and
the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each is the legal, valid
and
binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in all respects in
accordance with its terms subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy,
insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of
creditors, and the Company has taken all action necessary to transfer such
rights of enforceability to the Purchaser. All parties to the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage
Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and
properly executed by such parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation,
negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken
place
on the part of Company, the Mortgagor, or, to the best of Company's knowledge,
on the part of any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage
Loan.
Either the borrower or a guarantor is a natural person. The proceeds of the
Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future
advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any
on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds
therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses
incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the
Mortgage (including any fees, costs or expenses related to the registration
of
the Mortgage Loans with MERS, if applicable) were paid or are in the process
of
being paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts
paid
or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(l) The
Company is the sole
owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the
Mortgage Note. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser, the Company
will retain the Mortgage File or any part thereof with respect thereto not
delivered to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee in trust only for the
purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of the Mortgage
Loan. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the
Purchaser, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage,
were
not subject to an assignment, sale or pledge to any person other than Purchaser,
and the Company had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof
and had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser
free
and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security
interest and has the full right and authority subject to no interest or
participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of the Mortgage
Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any
encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or
security interest. The Company intends to relinquish all rights to
possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except for the purposes of
servicing the Mortgage Loan as set forth in this Agreement. After the
Closing Date, the Company will not have any right to modify or alter the terms
of the sale of the Mortgage Loan and the Company will not have any obligation
or
right to repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan,
except as provided in this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to by the Company
and the Purchaser;
(m) Each
Mortgage Loan is
covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other generally acceptable
form of policy or insurance acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC (including adjustable
rate endorsements), issued by a title insurer acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and
qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is
located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (j)(1), (2) and (3)
above) the Company, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien
of
the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and against
any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting
from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage
Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or
regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier
of the required mortgage title insurance. The Company, its successors
and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender's title insurance policy,
such
title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed to the Purchaser
or
the assignment to the Purchaser of the Company's interest therein does not
require the consent of or notification to the insurer and such lender's title
insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and
effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title
insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the
Company, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage
of such lender's title insurance policy;
(n) There
is no default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the
related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with
notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a
default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration; and neither the
Company, nor any prior mortgagee has waived any default, breach, violation
or
event permitting acceleration;
(o) There
are no mechanics'
or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material
(and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens)
affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to
or
equal to the lien of the related Mortgage;
(p) All
improvements subject
to the Mortgage which were considered in determining the appraised value of
the
Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction
lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the project with respect
to a
condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon
the
Mortgaged Property except those which are insured against by the title insurance
policy referred to in clause (m) above and all improvements on the property
comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision laws and
ordinances;
(q) Each
Mortgage Loan was
originated by or for the Company pursuant to, and conforms with, the Company’s
underwriting guidelines attached as Exhibit H hereto. The Mortgage Notes and
Mortgages are on forms generally acceptable in the industry. The
Mortgage Loan bears interest at an adjustable rate as set forth in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule, and Monthly Payments under the Mortgage Note are due and payable
on the first day of each month. The Mortgage contains the usual and
enforceable provisions of the Company at the time of origination for the
acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan
if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the
mortgagee thereunder;
(r) No
Mortgaged Property
has been materially damaged by waste, fire, earthquake, earth movement,
windstorm, tornado, flood or other casualty. At origination of the
Mortgage Loan there was not, since origination of the Mortgage Loan there has
been and there currently is, no proceeding pending for the total or partial
condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Company has not received
notification that any such proceedings are scheduled to commence at a future
date;
(s) The
related Mortgage
contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights
and
remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the
Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including,
(1) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale,
and (2) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or
other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right
to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose
the
Mortgage;
(t) If
the Mortgage
constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified if
required under applicable law to act as such, has been properly designated
and
currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses,
except as may be required by local law, are or will become payable by the
Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with
a
trustee's sale or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(u) The
Mortgage File
contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the
final approval of the mortgage loan application by a Qualified Appraiser,
approved by the Company, 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 FNMA
or
FHLMC and 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. The appraisal is in a form
acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and was made by a Qualified Appraiser;
(v) All
parties which have
had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or
otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such
interest, were) (A) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing
requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located,
and (B) (1) organized under the laws of such state, or (2) qualified to do
business in such state, or (3) federal savings and loan associations or national
banks or a Federal Home Loan Bank or savings bank having principal offices
in
such state, or (4) not doing business in such state;
(w) The
related Mortgage
Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the
corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security
agreement or chattel mortgage referred to above and such collateral does not
serve as security for any other obligation;
(x) The
Mortgagor has
received and has executed, where applicable, all disclosure materials required
by applicable law with respect to the making of such mortgage
loans;
(y) The
Mortgage Loan does
not contain “balloon” or "graduated payment" features; No Mortgage
Loan is subject to a buydown agreement or contains any buydown
provision;
(z) The
Mortgagor is not in
bankruptcy and, to the best of the Company's knowledge, the Mortgagor is not
insolvent and the Company has no knowledge of any circumstances or condition
with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the
Mortgagor's credit standing that could reasonably be expected to cause investors
to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage
Loan to become delinquent, or materially adversely affect the value or
marketability of the Mortgage Loan;
(aa)
[reserved]
(bb) [reserved]
(cc) [reserved]
(dd) [reserved]
(ee)
None of the Mortgage Loans have a
Loan-to-Value Ratio greater than 95%;
(ff) For
all of the Mortgage
Loans, based on representations made by the Mortgagor at the time of
origination, all of the Mortgaged Properties are occupied as the Mortgagor's
primary residence. To the best of the Company's knowledge, the
Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law;
(gg) In
the event the
Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than 80.00%, the excess of the principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan over 75.0% of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged
Property with respect to a Refinanced Mortgage Loan, or the lesser of the
Appraised Value or the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property with respect
to
a purchase money Mortgage Loan is and will be insured as to payment defaults
by
a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer. No Mortgage
Loan has an LTV over 95%. All provisions of such Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full
force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No
Mortgage Loan requires payment of such premiums, in whole or in part, by the
Purchaser. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of
facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or
defense to coverage. The Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate for the
Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of
any
such insurance premium;
(hh) The
assignment of
Mortgage (unless the Mortgage is registered with MERS in accordance with
Subsection 2.07) is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under
the
laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. Any
Assignments of Mortgage registered with MERS in accordance with Subsection
2.07
have been assigned a valid mortgage identification number by
MERS. Company is an approved MERS participant. Any and all
costs, fees and expenses associated with the registration of the Mortgages
with
MERS and the transfer of the Mortgage Loans on the MERS system to Purchaser
have
been paid by Company and Purchaser shall not be responsible for any such costs,
fees and expenses;
(ii) The
Mortgaged Property
is located in the state identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and
consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family
residence erected thereon, or a townhouse, or a two-to four-family dwelling,
or
an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit
in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development,
provided, however, that no residence or dwelling is a single parcel of real
property with a manufactured home not affixed to a permanent foundation, or
a
mobile home. As of the date of origination, no portion of any
Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes, and since the Origination
Date, to the best of the Company's knowledge, no portion of any Mortgaged
Property is used for commercial purposes;
(jj) Except
for the Mortgage
Loans indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule which require interest-only
payments until the first Adjustment Date and both interest and principal
payments after such Adjustment Date (the “Interest Only Mortgage Loans”),
principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days
after the funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage
Loan. The Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in
monthly installments of principal (other than with respect to the Interest
Only
Mortgage Loans) and interest, which installments are subject to change due
to
the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Adjustment Date, with
interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage
Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than
thirty years from commencement of amortization;
(kk) As
of the date of
origination and to the best of Company’s knowledge, as of the related Closing
Date of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Property was lawfully occupied under
applicable law, and all inspections, licenses and certificates required to
be
made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property
and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not
limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have
been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities;
(ll) If
the Mortgaged
Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit development (other than a
de
minimis planned unit development), such condominium or planned unit development
project meets Company's eligibility requirements as set forth in Exhibit
H;
(mm) To
the best of
Company’s knowledge, there is no pending action or proceeding directly involving
the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule
or
regulation is an issue; to the best of Company's knowledge, there is
no violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the
Mortgaged Property; and the Company has not received any notice of any
environmental hazard on the Mortgaged Property and nothing further remains
to be
done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation
constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property;
(nn) The
Mortgagor has not
notified the Company, and the Company does not have any knowledge of any relief
requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil
Relief Act of 1940;
(oo)
No
Mortgage Loan is
currently a construction or rehabilitation Mortgage Loan or facilitates the
trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property;
(pp) No
action has been
taken or failed to be taken by Company, on or prior to the Closing Date which
has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to
coverage under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (including, without
limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce
the
availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise
due
thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations,
errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Company or for any other reason
under such coverage;

Mortgage Loan has
been serviced in all material respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing
Practices;

a
federal or state authority. No Mortgaged Property is a timeshare;
and
(ss)
Each
Mortgage Note, each
Mortgage, each Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents required pursuant
to this Agreement to be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, or its
assignee for each Mortgage Loan, have been, on or before the Closing Date,
delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, or its assignee.
Section
3.03 Repurchase;
Substitution.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery
of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Purchaser, or its designee, and shall
inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or
qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination,
or
lack of examination, of any 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 in any Mortgage Loan, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the
other. The Company shall have a period of sixty days from the earlier
of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach within which to
correct or cure such breach. The Company hereby covenants and agrees
that if any such breach is not corrected or cured within such sixty day period,
the Company shall, at the Purchaser's option and not later than ninety days
of
its discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach, repurchase such Mortgage
Loan at the Repurchase Price or, with the Purchaser's prior consent and, at
Purchaser’s sole option, substitute a Mortgage Loan as provided
below. In the event that any such breach shall involve any
representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01, and such breach is not
cured within sixty days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to
the
Company of such breach, all affected Mortgage Loans shall, at the option of
the
Purchaser, be repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase Price. Any
such repurchase shall be accomplished by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to Purchaser in the amount of the Repurchase Price.
If
the Company is required to
repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Company may,
with the Purchaser's prior consent and, at Purchaser’s sole option, within one
hundred twenty (120) days from the related Closing Date, remove such defective
Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and substitute another mortgage
loan for such defective Mortgage Loan, in lieu of repurchasing such defective
Mortgage Loan; provided however, that in the event that any Mortgage Loan was
part of a securitization, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this
Agreement, no substitution shall be made. Any substitute Mortgage
Loan shall be acceptable to Purchaser. Any substituted Loans will
comply with the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement
as of
the substituted date
The
Company shall amend the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the removed Mortgage Loan
from this Agreement and the substitution of such substitute Mortgage Loan
therefor. Upon such amendment, the Purchaser shall review the
Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute Mortgage
Loan. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the
substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and
any
Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property
of
the Purchaser and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for
which
the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during
such
month shall be the property of the Company. The principal payment on
a substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution
shall be the property of the Company and the principal payment on the Mortgage
Loan for which the substitution is made due on such date shall be the property
of the Purchaser.
It
is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Company set forth in this Section 3.03 to cure, repurchase
or
substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan, and to indemnify Purchaser pursuant
to
Section 8.01, constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach
of the foregoing representations and warranties. If the Company fails
to repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan in accordance with
this Section 3.03, or fails to cure a defective Mortgage Loan to Purchaser's
reasonable satisfaction in accordance with this Section 3.03, or to indemnify
Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, that failure shall be an Event of Default
and the Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue all remedies available in this
Agreement as a result thereof. No provision of this paragraph shall
affect the rights of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement for cause, as
set
forth in Sections 10.01 and 11.01.
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)
the
earlier of discovery of such breach by the Company or notice thereof by the
Purchaser to the Company, (ii) failure 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 in accordance with
this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices,
and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be
done
any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which
the Company may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of
this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices
and exercise the same care that it customarily employs for its own
account. Except as set forth in this Agreement and the related Term
Sheet, the Company shall service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with
the servicing provisions of the FNMA Guides (special servicing option), which
include, but are not limited to, provisions regarding the liquidation of
Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes,
insurance and other charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a
Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of mortgage impairment insurance, the
maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, inspections,
the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policies, insurance claims, the title, management of REO Property,
permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation reports, and
reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property, the transfer
of
Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Files, annual statements, and
examination of records and facilities. In the event of any conflict,
inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions of this
Agreement and any of the servicing provisions of the Agency Guides, the
provisions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet shall control and be
binding upon the Purchaser and the Company.
Consistent
with the terms of this
Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Company may waive, modify or vary
any
term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any such term or
in
any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Company's reasonable
and
prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence
is
not materially adverse to the Purchaser, provided, however, that unless the
Company has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Company
shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would
change the Mortgage Interest Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest,
reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments
of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage
Loan. In the event of any such modification which has been agreed to
in writing by the Purchaser and 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 4.04, 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
pursuant to Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered,
to prepare, execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the
Mortgaged Properties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Company may not enter into a forbearance agreement or similar arrangement with
respect to any Mortgage Loan which runs more than 180 days after the first
delinquent Due Date. Any such agreement shall be approved by
Purchaser and, if required, by the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issuer,
if
required. In no event shall Company be obligated to repurchase a
Mortgage Loan due to the exercise of any Conversion Feature.
In
servicing and administering the
Mortgage Loans, the Company shall employ Accepted Servicing Practices, giving
due consideration to the Purchaser's reliance on the Company. Unless a different
time period is stated in this Agreement, Purchaser shall be deemed to have
given
consent in connection with respect to a particular matter if Purchaser does
not
affirmatively grant or deny consent within 5 Business Days from the date
Purchaser receives a written request for consent for such matter from Company
as
Company.
Section
4.02 Collection
of Mortgage Loan Payments.
Continuously
from the date hereof until
the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the Company
will proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan
when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such
procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, Accepted Servicing
Practices, and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect
to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own
account.
Section
4.03 Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage
The
Company shall use its best efforts,
consistent with the procedures that the Company would use in servicing loans
for
its own account, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies and the best interest of Purchaser, to foreclose
upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such
of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which
no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments
pursuant to Section 4.01. Foreclosure or comparable proceedings
shall be initiated within ninety (90) days of default for Mortgaged Properties
for which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments. The Company shall use its best efforts to realize upon
defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of
principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other
things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is
subject to the provisions that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall
have suffered damage, the Company shall not be required to expend its own funds
toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its
discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation
of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser after reimbursement to itself
for
such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Company
through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged
Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. Company shall obtain prior
approval of Purchaser as to restoration expenses in excess of five thousand
dollars ($5,000). The Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing
of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings and prior to the rejection of
any
offer of reinstatement. The Company shall be responsible for all
costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions;
provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from
the
related property, as contemplated in Section 4.05.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's
sole option, terminate the Company as servicer of any Mortgage Loan which
becomes ninety (90 days or greater delinquent in payment of a scheduled Monthly
Payment, without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided
that the Company shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed
for any unreimbursed advances of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section
5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in each case
relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such delinquent Mortgage Loan
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section
4.05. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section
11.01 hereof shall apply to said termination and the transfer of servicing
responsibilities with respect to such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser
or its designee.
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 at the
Purchaser's expense. Upon completion of the inspection, the Company
shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental
inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the
Purchaser shall determine how the Company shall proceed with respect to the
Mortgaged Property.
In
the event that a Mortgage Loan
becomes REO Property, such property shall be disposed of by Company, with the
consent of Purchaser as required pursuant to this Agreement, within two years
after becoming an REO Property. Company shall manage, conserve,
protect and operate each such REO Property for the certificateholders solely
for
the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale, and if such REO Property has
been securitized, the Company shall consult with any applicable master servicer
with respect to such securitization so that the foregoing will be in compliance
with the applicable securitization’s structure. Moreover, pursuant to
its efforts to sell such property, the Company shall either itself or through
an
agent selected by Company, protect and conserve such property in the same manner
and to such an extent as is customary in the locality where such property is
located. Additionally, if such REO Property has been securitized, the
Company shall perform the tax withholding and reporting related to Sections
1445
and 6050J of the Code after consultation with the applicable master servicer
for
the related securitization.

that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Company's right thereto shall
be
prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the Company is required
to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section 3.04, the

Section
4.06 Establishment
of Escrow Accounts; Deposits
in Escrow Accounts.
The
Company shall segregate and hold
all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute
Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets
and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts. The
Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in the
Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section
4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a
letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C. The original of such
letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and
upon request to any subsequent purchaser.
The

(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

with 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 and, to the extent required by law, the Company shall pay interest
on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account
is
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 may
be made by Company only:
(i) to
effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, fire and hazard insurance
premiums, condominium assessments and comparable items;
(ii) to
reimburse Company for any Servicing Advance made by Company with respect to

refund to the Mortgagor
any funds as may be determined to be overages;

transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement;

in
Escrow Account, to the extent required by law, and to the extent that interest
earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall pay such interest
from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor; and
(viii) to
pay to the Mortgagors or
other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in accordance with Section
4.06.
Section
4.08 Payment
of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges;
Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies; Collections
Thereunder.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the
Company shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents,
taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a
lien
upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of primary mortgage insurance
premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time
to
time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal premiums
and
shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination
date
and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing
for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall
have been estimated and accumulated by the Company in amounts sufficient for
such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable
law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow
Payments, the Company shall determine that any such payments are made by the
Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Company assumes full
responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely
payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance
in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make
advances from its own funds to effect such payments.
The
Company will maintain in full force
and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer
with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein
required. Such coverage will be terminated only with the approval of
Purchaser, or as required by applicable law or regulation; provided, however
that any such lender paid mortgage insurance coverage may also be terminated
without approval by Purchaser in the event that such coverage is terminated
in
accordance with the Mortgagor’s Mortgage Note, Mortgage, or any riders or
addenda thereto. The Company will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to
be
kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and
maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Company shall not take any
action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the 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 Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of
liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions
which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of
coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or
substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.
In
connection with its activities as
Company, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and
the
Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any Private Mortgage Insurance Policy
in
a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit
recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted
Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the
Company under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the
Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.
Section
4.09 Transfer
of Accounts.
The
Company may transfer the Custodial
Account or the Escrow Account to a different Eligible Account from time to
time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the prior
written consent of the Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld.
Section
4.10 Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance.
The
Company shall cause to be
maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended
coverage as is acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and customary in the area where
the
Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of
(i)
the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan
or
(ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan,
and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent
the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If
required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each Mortgage
Loan shall be covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements
of
the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in effect with
an
insurance carrier acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, in an amount representing
coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of
the
Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing
such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available
under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at
any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Company determines in
accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the FNMA Guides that a Mortgaged
Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood
insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Company shall notify the
related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage,
and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage
within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Company shall
immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf.
The Company shall also maintain on each REO Property, fire and hazard insurance
with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum
insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, and,
to
the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any
amounts collected by the Company under any such policies other than amounts
to
be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair
of
the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall be deposited in the
Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. It
is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required
by
the Company of the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect
of
the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to this Agreement, the FNMA Guides or
such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall at any time
be in
force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such
policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable
to
the Company and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least
thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount
or
material change in coverage to the Company. 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
Qualified Insurers.
Section
4.11 Maintenance
of Mortgage Impairment Insurance
Policy.
In
the event that the Company shall
obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an insurer acceptable to FNMA
or
FHLMC insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to
the
extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required
pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements
of
Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations
as set forth in Section 4.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy
may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Company shall, in the event
that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property
or
REO Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been
a
loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial
Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of
such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer
of the Mortgage Loans, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf
of
the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in
accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the
Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified
true copy of such policy and shall use its best efforts to obtain a statement
from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated
or
materially modified without thirty days' prior written notice to the
Purchaser.
Section
4.12 Fidelity
Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.
The
Company shall maintain, at its own
expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy,
with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or
other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loan to handle
funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loan. The
Fidelity Bond 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 and fraud of such persons. The errors and omissions
insurance shall protect and insure the Company against losses arising out of
errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such errors and
omissions insurance shall also protect and insure the Company against losses
in
connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant
to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without
having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured
thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity
Bond or errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Company
from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The
minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least
equal to the corresponding amounts required by FNMA in the FNMA
Guide. The Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate from
the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors
and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety
and
the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be
terminated or materially modified without thirty days' prior written notice
to
the Purchaser. The Company shall notify the Purchaser within thirty
business days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy
will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The
Purchaser (or any party having the status of Purchaser hereunder) and any
subsidiary thereof and their successors or assigns as their interests may appear
must be named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured
on
the errors and omissions policy. Upon request by Purchaser, Company
shall provide Purchaser with an insurance certificate certifying coverage under
this Section 4.12, and will provide an update to such certificate upon request,
or upon renewal or material modification of coverage.
Section
4.13 Title,
Management and Disposition of REO Property.
In
the event that title to the
Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure,
the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser
or
its designee, or in the event the Purchaser or its designee is not authorized
or
permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property
is
located, or would be adversely affected under the "doing business" or tax laws
of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be
taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an
opinion of counsel obtained by the Company from an attorney duly licensed to
practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any
Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge
in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the
Purchaser.
The
Company shall notify the Purchaser
in accordance with the FNMA Guides of each acquisition of REO Property upon
such
acquisition, together with a copy of the drive by appraisal or brokers price
opinion of the Mortgaged Property obtained in connection with such acquisition,
and thereafter assume the responsibility for marketing such REO property in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Company
shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Purchaser
relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13. The
fee for such administrative services (the “Administrative Fee”) shall be $1,500
to be paid upon liquidation of the REO Property. No Servicing Fee
shall be assessed on any REO Property from and after the date on which it
becomes an REO Property.
The
Company shall, either itself or
through an agent selected by the Company, and in accordance with the FNMA Guides
manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner
that
it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for
its
own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality
as the REO Property is managed. The Company shall cause each REO
Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and
shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least monthly thereafter or
more frequently as required by the circumstances. The Company shall
make or cause to be made a written report of each such
inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and
copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Company to the Purchaser at Purchaser’s
request.
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 within one year after title has been taken to such REO
Property, unless the Company determines, and gives an appropriate notice to
the
Purchaser to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly
liquidation of such REO Property. If a longer period than one (1)
year is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any
REO
Property, the Company shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress
being made in selling such REO Property. No REO Property shall be
marketed for less than the Appraised Value, without the prior consent of
Purchaser. No REO Property shall be sold for less than ninety five percent
(95%)
of its Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. All
requests for reimbursement of Servicing Advances shall be in accordance with
the
FNMA Guides. 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 (subject to the above
conditions). Company shall provide monthly reports to Purchaser in
reference to the status of the marketing of the REO Properties.
Notwithstanding
anything to the
contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's sole option,
terminate the Company as servicer of any such REO Property without payment
of
any termination fee with respect thereto, provided that the Company shall on
the
date said termination takes effect be reimbursed for any unreimbursed advances
of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed
Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees, in each case relating to the Mortgage
Loan underlying such REO Property notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set
forth in Section 4.05, and, only to the extent the related REO Property was
not
liquidated prior to Company’s termination, any Administrative Fee prorated based
on the following ratio: (1) the total number of months the Company serviced
it
as REO Property to (2) the total number of months from completion of foreclosure
to completion of liquidation of the REO Property. In the event of any
such termination, the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply to said
termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to
such
REO Property to the Purchaser or its designee.
Section
4.14 Notification
of Maturity Date.
With
respect to each Mortgage
Loan, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Mortgagor any and all
necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the maturity date if required under
applicable law.

law. Such interest shall cover the period commencing with the day
following the Business Day such payment was due and ending with the Business

(vi) The
number and
aggregate outstanding principal balances of Mortgage Loans (a) delinquent (1)
30
to 59 days, (2) 60 to 89 days, (3) 90 days or more; (b) as to which foreclosure

and
The
Company shall also provide a trial

Report.
The
Company shall prepare and file any and all information statements or other
filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority pursuant
to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions
contemplated hereby. In addition, the Company shall provide Purchaser
with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for
Purchaser to prepare its federal income tax return as Purchaser may reasonably
request from time to time.
Section
5.03 Monthly
Advances by the Company.
Not
later than the close of business on
the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date, the Company shall deposit
in
the Custodial Account an amount equal to all payments not previously advanced
by
the Company, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 4.01, of principal
(due
after the Cut-off Date) and interest not allocable to the period prior to the
Cut-off Date, adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate, which were due
on a
Mortgage Loan and delinquent at the close of business on the related
Determination Date.
The
Company's obligation to make such
Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly
Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the
Remittance Date prior to the date on which the Mortgaged Property liquidates
(including Insurance Proceeds, proceeds from the sale of REO Property or
Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage Loan unless the Company
deems such advance to be nonrecoverable. In such event, the Company
shall deliver to the Purchaser an Officer's Certificate of the Company to the
effect that an officer of the Company has reviewed the related Mortgage File
and
has made the reasonable determination that any additional advances are
nonrecoverable.
Section

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

acceptable to Company and Purchaser. The Company shall also provide
reports on the status of REO Property containing such information as Purchaser
may reasonably require.
ARTICLE

GENERAL
SERVICING PROCEDURES
Section
6.01 Assumption
Agreements.
The
Company will, to the extent it has
knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the
Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale,
and
whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage
Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of
such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause to the extent permitted by
law; provided, however, that the Company shall not exercise any such rights
if
prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the
exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under
the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Company
reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such
"due-on-sale" clause, the Company, with the approval of the Purchaser (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld), will enter into an assumption
agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed
or is
proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under
the
Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the
Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to
this Section 6.01, the Company, with the prior consent of the Purchaser and
the
primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution
of
liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor
is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and
becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution
of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption
agreement. Purchaser shall be deemed to have consented to any
assumption for which Purchaser was given notification and requested to consent,
but for which neither a consent nor an objection was given by Purchaser within
five Business Days of such notification.
In
connection with any such assumption
or substitution of liability, the Company shall follow the underwriting
practices and procedures of the FNMA Guides. With respect to an
assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by
the
related Mortgage Note, the amount of the Monthly Payment and the maturity date
may not be changed (except pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage
Note). If the credit 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. The Company shall notify the Purchaser that any
such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by
forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability
or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage
File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File
to
the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part
thereof. All fees collected by the Company for entering into an
assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the
Company.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing
paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, the Company
shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its
obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by
operation of law or any assumption which the Company may be restricted by law
from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this
Section 6.01, the term "assumption" is deemed to also include a sale of the
Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an
assumption or substitution of liability agreement.
Section
6.02 Satisfaction
of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon
the payment in full of any
Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Company of a notification that payment
in
full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Company
will
immediately notify the Purchaser by a certification, which certification shall
include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received
in
connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial
Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been or will be so deposited, of a
Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the portion of the
Mortgage File held by the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall no later than five
Business Days after receipt of such certification and request, release or cause
to be released to the Company, the related Mortgage Loan Documents and, upon
its
receipt of such documents, the Company shall promptly prepare and deliver to
the
Purchaser the requisite satisfaction or release. No later than three
Business Days following its receipt of such satisfaction or release, the
Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Company the release
or
satisfaction properly executed by the owner of record of the applicable mortgage
or its duly appointed attorney in fact. No expense incurred in
connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall
be
chargeable to the Custodial Account.
In
the event the Company satisfies or
releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness
secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser
may have under the mortgage instruments, the Company, upon written demand,
shall
remit within two Business Days to the Purchaser the then outstanding principal
balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial
Account. The Company shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and errors and
omissions insurance 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.
From
time to time and as appropriate
for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, including for the purpose
of collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the Purchaser shall,
upon request of the Company and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing receipt
signed by a Servicing Officer, release the portion of the Mortgage File held
by
the Purchaser to the Company. Such servicing receipt shall obligate
the Company to return the related Mortgage documents to the Purchaser when
the
need therefor by the Company no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has
been
liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have
been
deposited in the Custodial Account or the Mortgage File or such document has
been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official
as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or
other
proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially
or
non-judicially, and the Company has delivered to the Purchaser a certificate
of
a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to
which
such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes
of
such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer
stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall
be
released by the Purchaser to the Company.
Section
6.03 Servicing
Compensation.
As
compensation for its services
hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account
(to the extent of interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans) or to
retain from interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans, the amounts
provided for as the Company's Servicing Fee, subject to payment of compensating
interest on Principal Prepayments as capped by the Servicing Fee pursuant to
Section 5.01 (iii). Additional servicing compensation in the form of
assumption fees, as provided in Section 6.01, and late payment charges and
other
ancillary fees shall be retained by the Company to the extent not required
to be
deposited in the Custodial Account. No Servicing Fee shall be payable
in connection with partial Monthly Payments. 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 therefor except
as specifically provided for.
Section
6.04 Annual
Statement as to Compliance.
The
Company will deliver to the
Purchaser as of September 30th of each year, beginning with 2001, an Officers'
Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Company during the preceding fiscal year and of performance
under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision, and (ii)
to
the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Company has
fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year,
or,
if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation,
specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature and status
of
cure provisions thereof. Copies of such statement shall be provided
by the Company to the Purchaser upon request.
Section
6.05 Annual
Independent Certified Public Accountants'
Servicing Report.
Within
one hundred twenty (120) days of
Company's fiscal year end the Company at its expense shall cause a firm of
independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute
of
Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Purchaser to the
effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to
the
Company's servicing of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans
pursuant to servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement, which
agreements may include this Agreement, and that, on the basis of such an
examination, conducted substantially in the uniform single audit program for
mortgage bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the Company's servicing
has
been conducted in compliance with the agreements examined pursuant to this
Section 6.05, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to
be
immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such
statement. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Company
to the Purchaser. In addition, on an annual basis, Company shall
provided Purchaser with copies of its audited financial statements upon
execution by Purchaser of an agreement to keep confidential the contents of
such
financial statements.
Section
6.06 Purchaser's
Right to Examine Company Records.
The
Purchaser shall have the right to
examine and audit upon reasonable notice to the Company, during business hours
or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances,
any and all of the books, records, documentation or other information of the
Company, or held by another for the Company or on its behalf or otherwise,
which
relates to the performance or observance by the Company of the terms, covenants
or conditions of this Agreement.
The
Company shall provide to the
Purchaser and any supervisory agents or examiners representing a state or
federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Purchaser, including
but not limited to OTS, FDIC and other similar entities, access to any
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession of the Company
which may be required by any applicable regulations. Such access
shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request, during normal
business hours and at the offices of the Company, and in accordance with the
federal government, FDIC, OTS, or any other similar regulations.

Third Party Claims.
The
Company agrees to indemnify the
Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and
any
other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related
to the failure of the Company to observe and perform its duties, obligations,
covenants, and agreements to service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance
with the terms of this Agreement. The Company agrees to indemnify the
Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and
any
other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related

of this Agreement. The Company shall immediately notify the Purchaser
if a claim is made by a third party against Company with respect to this
Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the consent of the Purchaser)
the
defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith,
including counsel fees, whether or not such claim is settled prior to judgment,
and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be

of
this Agreement, the breach of representation or warranty set forth in Sections
3.01 or 3.02, or the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of
Company. The provisions of this Section 8.01 shall survive termination of this
Agreement.
Section
8.02 Merger
or Consolidation of the Company.
Unless
the Purchaser is notified in
writing that the Company intends to change its status as a federal savings
bank
(such notice shall be given by the Company to Purchaser one month prior to
such
change), the Company will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises as a federal savings bank under federal law except as
permitted herein, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business
as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is
or
shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement,
or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this
Agreement.
Any
Person into which the Company may
be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Company shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Company whether or not related to loan
servicing, shall be the successor of the Company hereunder, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided,
however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution (i)
having a GAAP net worth of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) the deposits of

officers, employees or agents of the Company shall be under any liability to
the
Purchaser for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action

good
faith; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Company
against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure
to
perform its obligations in strict compliance with any standard of care set
forth
in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason
of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or any breach of the terms
and
conditions of this Agreement. The Company and any officer, employee
or agent of the Company may rely in good faith on any document of any kind
prima
facie properly executed and submitted by the Purchaser respecting any matters
arising hereunder. The Company shall not be under any obligation to
appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to
its
duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and
which
in its reasonable opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided,
however, that the Company may, with the consent of the Purchaser, undertake
any
such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this
Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the

the
Purchaser upon written demand.

such incapacity cannot be cured by the Company. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Company shall be evidenced
by an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion
of

Purchaser. No such resignation shall become effective until a
successor shall have assumed the Company's responsibilities and obligations
hereunder in the manner provided in Section 11.01.
Section

Transfer of Servicing.
With
respect to the retention of the Company to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder,
the Company acknowledges that the Purchaser has acted in reliance upon the

property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, which
consent shall be granted or withheld in the Purchaser's sole
discretion.

assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate

In
case one or more of the following
Events of Default by the Company shall occur and be continuing, that is to
say:
(i) any
failure by the
Company to remit to the Purchaser any payment required to be made under the
terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of two Business
Days after the earlier of the date upon which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Company by
the
Purchaser or the date upon which such non-payment is discovered by Company;
or
(ii) failure
on the part of
the Company duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of
the
covenants or agreements on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement
which continues unremedied for a period of thirty days (except that such number
of days shall be fifteen in the case of a failure to pay any premium for any
insurance policy required to be maintained under this Agreement) after the
date
on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied,
shall have been given to the Company by the Purchaser; or
(iii) a
decree or order of a
court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment
of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy,

(iv) the
Company shall
consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any
insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and

(v) the
Company shall admit

statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily
suspend payment of its obligations; or
(vi) Company
ceases to be
approved by both FNMA and FHLMC as a mortgage loan Company and Company for
more
than thirty days; or
(vii) the
Company attempts
to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or the Company attempts,

servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or
any
portion thereof; or
(viii) the
Company ceases to
be (a) licensed to service first lien residential mortgage loans in any
jurisdiction in which a Mortgaged Property is located and such licensing is
required, and (b) qualified to transact business in any jurisdiction where

and adversely affects the Company's ability to perform its obligations
hereunder; or
(ix) the
Company fails
to meet the eligibility criteria set forth in the last sentence of Section
8.02.
Then,
and in each and every such case,
so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Purchaser,
by
notice in writing to the Company may, in addition to whatever rights the
Purchaser may have under Sections 3.03 and 8.01 and at law or equity or to
damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all
the

same. On or after the receipt by the Company of such written notice,
all authority and power of the Company under this Agreement, whether with
respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in
the
successor appointed pursuant to Section 11.01. Upon written request
from the Purchaser, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and
all

Mortgage Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and
related documents, or otherwise, at the Company's sole expense. The Company
agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the
termination of the Company's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including,
without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it
of
all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Company to the
Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to
the
Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.
Section
9.02 Waiver
of Defaults.
The
Purchaser may waive only by written
notice any default by the Company in the performance of its obligations
hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past
default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this
Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly
so
waived in writing.

MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS
Section
11.01 Successor
to the Company.
Prior
to termination of Company's
responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 4.13,
8.04, 9.01, 10.01 (ii) or (iii) or 10.02, the Purchaser shall (i) succeed to
and
assume all of the Company's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations
under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having the characteristics
set
forth in Section 8.02 hereof and which shall succeed to all rights and assume
all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Company under this
Agreement prior to the termination of Company's responsibilities, duties and
liabilities under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the compensation of
such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as the Purchaser and such
successor shall agree. In the event that the Company's duties, responsibilities
and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the
aforementioned Sections, the Company shall discharge such duties and
responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such
termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence
and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall
take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial
condition of its successor. The Company shall be compensated in
accordance with this Agreement up until the effective date of its termination
or
resignation. The resignation or removal of Company pursuant to the
aforementioned Sections shall not become effective until a successor shall
be
appointed pursuant to this Section and shall in no event relieve the Company
of
the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02 and
3.03
and the remedies available to the Purchaser thereunder and under Section 8.01,
it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 3.01, 3.02,
3.03 and 8.01 shall be applicable to the Company notwithstanding any such
resignation or termination of the Company, or the termination of this
Agreement.
Any
successor appointed as provided
herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the
Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor
shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities,
obligations and liabilities of the Company, with like effect as if originally
named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of
the Company or this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.13, 8.04, 9.01, 10.01,
or
10.02 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against the
Company arising prior to any such termination or resignation.
The
Company shall promptly deliver to
the successor the funds in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and
the
Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and
the
Company shall account for all funds. The Company shall execute and
deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be
required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all
such
rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the
Company. The successor shall make arrangements as it may deem
appropriate to reimburse the Company for unrecovered Servicing Advances which
the successor retains hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered
by
the Company pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor
Company.
Upon
a successor's acceptance of
appointment as such, the Company shall notify by mail the Purchaser of such
appointment.

any
information, report, certification, data, accountants’ letter or other material
provided under this Section 11.18 by the Company or by another third-party
on
the direction of the Company,
or
provided under this Section 11.18 by or at the direction of any Subservicer,

Information”), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Company
Information a material fact required to be stated in the Company Information
or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way
of

by
reference to the Company Information and not to any other information
communicated in connection with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard
to whether the Company Information or any portion thereof is presented together
with or separately from such other information;
(ii)
any breach by the Company of its obligations under this Section 11.18, including
particularly any failure by the Company, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor
or
any Third-Party Originator to deliver any information, report, certification,
accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under this Section
11.18, including any failure by the Company to identify pursuant to Section
11.19 any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the
meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB;
(iii) any
breach by the Company of a representation or warranty set forth in Section

performance under this Section 11.18.
In
the
case of any claim involving Regulation AB Losses instituted involving any untrue

the Purchaser shall notify the Company and the Company may, but only with the
written approval of the Purchaser in the Purchaser’s sole discretion, retain
counsel satisfactory to the Purchaser to represent the Purchaser with respect
to
the Regulation AB Losses (provided that the counsel so designated would have
no
actual or potential conflict of interest in connection with such
representation), and the Company shall pay the fees and disbursements of such
counsel related to such claim. If the Company assumes the defense of such
proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the written
consent of the Purchaser (in its sole discretion) or, if such settlement
provides for release of the Purchaser in connection with all matters relating
to
the proceeding which have been asserted against the Purchaser in such proceeding
by the other parties to such settlement, without the consent of the
Purchaser.
For
purposes of clarification with respect to the indemnification given above in
this Section 11.18, the Seller shall only be required to indemnify the
Indemnified Parties with respect to Regulation AB Losses that any Indemnified
Party incurs when such Regulation AB Losses arise out of or are based upon
Company Information and only with respect to those Mortgage Loans sold pursuant
to this Agreement; provided, that the indemnification provided in this Section
11.18 shall be the only indemnification with respect to Regulation AB Losses;
provided, further, that if any loan performance information is not provided
to
the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall have no obligation
to
indemnify any Indemnified Party for Regulation AB Losses arising from the
Company’s failure to provide Static Pool Information.
If
the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless an Indemnified Party, then the Company agrees that it shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of any
claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such
Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Company on the other.
In
the
case of any failure of performance described above, the Company shall promptly
reimburse the Purchaser, any Depositor, as applicable, and each Person
responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required
to
be filed with the Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction,
or
for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d)
under the Exchange Act with respect to such Securitization Transaction, for
all
costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain the information,
report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as
required by the Company, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party
Originator.
This
indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the
termination of any party to this Agreement.
All
Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Reconstitution shall remain
subject to, and serviced in accordance with the terms of, this Agreement and
the
related Term Sheet, and with respect thereto this Agreement and the related
Term
Sheet shall remain in full force and effect.

Regulation AB, the Company shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the
Company (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Purchaser and any
Depositor to comply with the provisions of Sections 6.07 and 11.18 of this
Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Company. The
Company shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and
delivering to the Purchaser and any Depositor any Assessment of Compliance
and
Attestation Report and the other certificates required to be delivered by such
Subservicer and such Subcontractor under Section 6.07, in each case as and
