or junior lien, as applicable, on the Mortgaged Property represented therein
as
a fee interest or a leasehold interest vested in the Mortgagor, or in the event
such original title policy is unavailable, a written commitment or uniform
binder or preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow
company or a copy thereof certified by the title company, with the original

With
respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser shall cause the Trustee,
at
the expense of the Purchaser and at the direction and with the cooperation
of
the applicable Servicer, to take such actions as are necessary to cause the
Trustee to be clearly identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on
the
records of MERS for purposes of the system of recording transfers of beneficial
ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS.
With
respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the original Mortgage Note has been
permanently lost or destroyed and has not been replaced, the obligations of
the
Seller to deliver the original Mortgage Note pursuant to Section 4(b)(i)(A)
above shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the Purchaser or any

recording office has retained the original of such document, the obligations
of
the Seller to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon (1)
delivery to the Purchaser of a copy of each such document certified by the
Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original that was submitted for
recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Seller, delivery to the
Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of
such
document certified by the applicable public recording office to be a true and
complete copy of the original. If the original or a copy of lender’s title
insurance policy was not delivered pursuant to 4(b)(vi) above, the Seller shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser, promptly after receipt
thereof, the original or a copy of lender’s title insurance policy. The Seller
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser promptly upon receipt
thereof any other original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File
received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to,
any
original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage
Loan.
4
The
Seller shall be responsible for recording at its own expense each of the above
documents requiring recordation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 4, in those instances where the public recording
office has not yet returned, or retains the original Mortgage, power of attorney
or Assignment of Mortgage after it has been recorded, the obligations of the
Seller hereunder shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon delivery not later
than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date by the Seller to the Purchaser
or
any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser of a copy of such
Mortgage, power of attorney or Assignment of Mortgage certified by the public
recording office to be a true and complete copy of the recorded original
thereof. Upon delivery to the Seller (x) by the public recording office of
any
recorded original Mortgage, power of attorney or Assignment of Mortgage, or
(y)
by a title insurance or escrow company of any lender’s title insurance policy,
the Seller promptly (and in no event later than five (5) Business Days following
such receipt) shall deliver such document to the Purchaser or any assignee,
transferee or designee of the Purchaser. The Seller promptly (and in no event
later than thirty (30) Business Days following the Closing Date) shall submit
for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, in the
appropriate public office for real property records, each Assignment of Mortgage
referred to in clauses (iii) or (iv) of this Section 4(b); provided,
however,
that
such Assignment of Mortgage need not be recorded if, in the opinion of counsel
(which must be from independent counsel) acceptable to the Trustee and each
Rating Agency, recording in such states is not required to protect the Trustee’s
interest in the related Mortgage Loan. In the event that any such Assignment
of
Mortgage is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Seller
promptly shall prepare a substitute Assignment of Mortgage or cure such defect,
as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment of Mortgage to
be
duly recorded.
The
Seller shall not organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the
State
under which it is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its
jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction)
without giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate
and
mediate transferee, including the Trustee. Before effecting such change, the
Seller shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any financing
statements or other statements necessary to continue the perfection of the
interests of its immediate and mediate transferees, including the Trustee,
in
the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Basic Documents, the Seller authorizes its immediate or mediate transferee,
including the Trustee, to file in any filing office any initial financing
statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements,
or any other statements or filings described in this Section 4(b).
5
(c) FHA
Mortgage Loans and VA Mortgage Loans.
On or
prior to the Closing Date, or within the period following the Closing Date
that
is prescribed by applicable Regulations, the Seller shall complete all forms
and
take such other action as may be required by FHA and VA, as applicable, in
connection with the transfer of the applicable Mortgage Loans to the Trustee
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and shall provide such notices
to FHA or VA, as the case may be, in connection therewith as are required under
applicable Regulations, and shall, at the request of the Purchaser, provide
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser that such notices have been
provided as so required.
(d) Acceptance
of Mortgage Loans.
The
documents delivered pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof shall be reviewed by the
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser at any time
before or after the Closing Date (and each document permitted to be delivered
after the Closing Date within seven (7) days of its delivery) to ascertain
that
all required documents have been executed and received and that such documents
relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. If the
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser discovers
that any material document is missing or is defective in any material respect,
the Seller shall correct or cure any such omission or defect or shall repurchase
or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of
Section 7(a) hereof and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
At
the time of such repurchase, the Purchaser shall, in exchange for a written
receipt therefor, release such documents relating to such Mortgage Loan as
are
then in its possession to the Seller.
(e) Transfer
of Interest in the Agreement.
The
Purchaser has the right to assign its interest under this Agreement, in whole
or
in part, to the Trustee, as may be required to effect the purposes of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement without the consent of the Seller, and the
assignee shall succeed to the rights and obligations hereunder of the Purchaser.
Any expense reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Purchaser or the Trustee
in connection with enforcing any obligations of the Seller under this Agreement
will be promptly reimbursed by the Seller.
(f) Examination
of Mortgage Files.
Not
later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall
deliver to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the
Purchaser in escrow, for examination, the Mortgage File pertaining to each
Mortgage Loan. Such examination may be made by the Purchaser or any assignee,
transferee or designee of the Purchaser at any time before or after the Closing
Date. If any such person makes such examination prior to the Closing Date and
identifies any Mortgage Loans which do not conform to the requirements of the
Purchaser as described in this Agreement, such Mortgage Loans shall be deleted
from the Closing Schedule, and may be replaced, prior to the Closing Date,
by
substitute Mortgage Loans acceptable to the Purchaser. The Purchaser may, at
its
option and without notice to the Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage
Loans without conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact that
the
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser has conducted
or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage
Files shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee
or designee of the Purchaser to demand repurchase or other relief as provided
herein or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Loan.
8

prior to the transfer and assignment to the Purchaser, the Mortgage Note and
the
Mortgage were not subject to an assignment or pledge, other than with respect
to
which a release has been obtained in connection with such transfer, and the

Loan.
(c) The
Seller is transferring such Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of
any
and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering
the Mortgage Loans.
(d) The

material respects as of the Cut-off Date or such other date as may be indicated

real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit
opportunity or disclosure laws, and the terms of the related Mortgage Note
and
Mortgage.

(g) The
related Mortgage Note and Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal, valid
and
binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its
terms except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally and by general equity principles (regardless of whether such
enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(h) The
related Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgaged
Property, which Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all encumbrances and
liens (including mechanics liens) having priority over such lien except for:
(i)
liens for real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable; (ii)
covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other
matters of public record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage, such
exceptions appearing of record being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions
generally or specifically reflected or considered in the lender’s title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (iii)
other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not
materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided
by such Mortgage.
9
(i) Any
security agreement, pledge agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document
related to such Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid and enforceable
lien on the property described therein, including any Additional

agreement or instrument contained in the Mortgage File.
(m) The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated, in whole, or
rescinded, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of
the
Mortgage, in whole or in part (except for a release that does not materially
impair the security of the Mortgage Loan or a release the effect of which is
reflected in the Loan-to-Value Ratio for the Mortgage Loan as set forth in
the
Closing Schedule).
(n) No
condition exists with respect to a Mortgage Loan which could give rise to any
right of rescission, set off, counterclaim, or defense including, without
limitation, the defense of usury, and no such right has been
asserted.
(o) There
is
no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of any Mortgaged
Property and there are no eminent domain proceedings pending affecting any
Mortgaged Property.
(p) Each
Mortgage Loan other than a Cooperative Loan is covered by either (i) a mortgage
title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of insurance policy
customary in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located or (ii)
if
generally acceptable in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is
located, an attorney’s opinion of title given by an attorney licensed to
practice law in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located. All
of
the Seller’s rights under such policies, opinions or other instruments shall be
transferred and assigned to the Purchaser upon sale and assignment of the
Mortgage Loans hereunder. The title insurance policy has been issued by a title
insurer licensed to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property
is located, insuring the original lender, its successor and assigns, as to
the
first priority lien or second priority lien, as applicable, of the Mortgage
in
the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, subject to the exceptions
contained in such policy. The Seller is the sole insured of such mortgagee
title
insurance policy, and such mortgagee title insurance policy is in full force
and
effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller has not made, and the Seller has
no
knowledge of, any claims under such mortgagee title insurance policy. The Seller
is not aware of any action by a prior holder and the Seller has not done, by
act
or omission, anything that could impair the coverage or enforceability of such
mortgagee title insurance policy or the accuracy of such attorney’s opinion of
title.
10
(q) Other
than delinquency in payment, there is no material default, breach, violation
or
event of acceleration existing under the related 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 material default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration. The Seller has not waived any
material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.
(r) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan that provides for an adjustable interest rate,
all
rate adjustments have been performed in accordance with the terms of the related
Mortgage Note, subsequent modifications, if any, and all applicable
law.
(s) There
are
no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments,
insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including assessments payable in future
installments or other outstanding charges, affecting the related Mortgaged
Property.
(t) Except
as
previously disclosed in writing to the Purchaser and the Trustee by the Seller,
to the Seller’s best knowledge no material litigation or lawsuit relating to the
Mortgage Loan is pending.
(u) The
Mortgage Loan obligates the mortgagor thereunder to maintain a hazard insurance
policy (“Hazard Insurance”) in an amount at least equal to the maximum insurable
value of any improvements made to the related Mortgaged Property, and, if it
was
in place at origination of the Mortgage Loan, flood insurance, at the
mortgagor’s cost and expense. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified
in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) as
having special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy is in effect which met
the requirements of FEMA at the time such policy was issued. The Mortgage
obligates the Mortgagor to maintain the Hazard Insurance and, if applicable,
flood insurance policy at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the
Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain
and maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. The Mortgaged Property is covered
by
Hazard Insurance (unless such Mortgaged Property is unimproved
land).
(v) The
Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the
lien
of the corresponding Mortgage, any holdback amounts or any reserve amounts,
and
the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel
mortgage.
(w) The
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 (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by
trustee’s sale or non-judicial foreclosure and (ii) otherwise by judicial
foreclosure. Except as previously disclosed to the Purchaser by the Seller,
the
Mortgaged Property is not subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure
proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection under applicable
bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the
Mortgagor that would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property
at
a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. In the event the
Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable
law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves
and
is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable
by
the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection
with
a trustee’s sale after default by the related Mortgagor. The Mortgagor has not
notified the Seller and the Seller has no knowledge of any relief requested
or
allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.
11
(x) Except
as
set forth in the appraisal or other written valuation which forms part of the
related Mortgage File or servicing file, the Mortgaged Property, normal wear
and
tear excepted, is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement,
windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect materially and
adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage
Loan
or the use for which the premises were intended.
(y) As
of the
Closing Date, either (i) no Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is
subject to an environmental hazard that would have to be eliminated under
applicable law before the sale of, or which could otherwise affect the
marketability of, such Mortgaged Property or which would subject the owner
or
operator of such Mortgaged Property or a lender secured by such Mortgaged
Property to liability under applicable law, and there are no liens which relate
to the existence of any clean-up of a hazardous substance (and no circumstances
are existing that under law would give rise to any such lien) affecting the
Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to or on a parity with the
lien of the related mortgage, or (ii) a secured lender’s environmental insurance
policy issued by American International Specialty Lines Insurance Company or
by
Steadfast Insurance Company, a member company of Zurich Financial Services
Group, is in effect with respect to each Mortgaged Property.
(z) No
improvements on the related Mortgaged Property encroach on adjoining properties
(and in the case of a condominium unit, such improvements are within the project
with respect to that unit), and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach
upon the Mortgaged Property unless there exists in the Mortgage File a title
policy with endorsements which insure against losses sustained by the insured
as
a result of such encroachments.
(aa) Approximately
5.00% of the Mortgage Loans (by Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date) permit
negative amortization.
(bb) With
respect to escrow deposits (including any Holdback Amounts), if any, all such
payments are in the possession of or under the control of, the Seller or the
related servicer and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for
which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been
made.
(cc) To
the
Seller’s best knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied or operated
under applicable law.
(dd) The
Mortgage Loan has been serviced by or on behalf of the Seller and any
predecessor servicer in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note and
all
applicable laws.
(ee) None
of
the Mortgage Loans has a negative Mortgage Rate.
12
(ff) The
Mortgaged Property is free of material damage and is in good
repair.
(gg) No
proceeds from a Mortgage Loan were used to finance a single-premium credit
insurance policy.
(hh) There
are
no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims that have been filed for work, labor or
material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such
lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property that are or may be liens prior
to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage.
(ii) The
Mortgaged Property with respect to each Mortgage Loan is either real property
(or a leasehold interest therein) owned by the related Mortgagor in fee simple,
in the case of a Manufactured Housing Loan, a security interest in the
Manufactured Home or in the case of a Cooperative Loan, the related Cooperative
Shares and Proprietary Lease.
(jj) Each
Mortgage Loan is a first lien Mortgage Loan.
(kk) Each
Manufactured Home has a minimum of 400 square feet of living space and a minimum
width in excess of 102 inches and is of a kind customarily used at a fixed
location.
(ll) [Reserved]
(mm) Each
FHA
Mortgage Loan and each VA Mortgage Loan complies in all material respects with
applicable Regulations. With respect to each FHA Mortgage Loan and each VA
Mortgage Loan, the applicable Policy is in full force and effect, and there
exists no defense or impairment to full recovery thereunder to the maximum
extent provided thereby, without, in the case of any FHA Mortgage Loan,
indemnity to HUD or FHA. Each Policy is the valid, binding and enforceable
obligation of FHA and VA, respectively, to the full extent provided thereby,
without surcharge, set-off or defense, and all actions that are necessary to
ensure that each Policy remains so valid, binding and enforceable have been
taken. The guaranty amount with respect to each VA Mortgage Loan is equal to
the
maximum amount applicable to such Mortgage Loan as provided under Section 5.02
of the VA Lenders Handbook Number 26-7, without regard to the applicable
veteran’s available entitlement.
(nn) Each
Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G of
the Code and Treas. Reg. §1.860G-2. Each Mortgage Loan that is secured by one-
to four-family residential real property (or a leasehold interest therein)
has a
loan-to-value ratio of 125% or less (by Principal Balance as of the Cut-off
Date).
The
representations, warranties and covenants, set forth in this Section 6 shall
survive the Closing Date.
Section
7. Repurchase
or Substitution of Mortgage Loans for Defective Documentation and for Breach
of
Representation and Warranty.
(a) The
representations and warranties contained in Sections 5 and 6 shall not be
impaired by any review and examination of loan files or other documents
evidencing or relating to the Mortgage Loans or any failure on the part of
the
Purchaser to review or examine such documents and shall inure to the benefit
of
any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser, including the Trustee
for
the benefit of holders of the Certificates evidencing an interest in all or
a
portion of the Mortgage Loans.
13
Upon
discovery by the Seller, the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee
of the Purchaser (i) of any materially defective document in, or that any
material document is missing from, any Mortgage File, (ii) of a breach of the
representation set forth in Section 6(j) or (iii) of a breach of any of the
other representations and warranties contained in Section 5 or 6 that in the
case of the representations and warranties referred to in this clause (iii)
materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest
therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee,
the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the others.
Within ninety (90) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such
missing or materially defective documentation or any such breach of a
representation and warranty, the Seller promptly shall deliver such missing
document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects, or in the
event
such defect or breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, in the case of a breach
of representation or warranty or the failure of the Seller to satisfy its
obligation with respect to delivery of documents pursuant to Section 4(b)(i),
or
upon receipt of notice from the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee or
transferee that any material document defect has materially impaired the
enforcement of the related Mortgage Loan or Mortgage, either (i) repurchase
the
affected Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price (as such term is defined in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or (ii) subject to the approval of the
Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee, cause the removal
of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans. In addition, the Seller shall repurchase any Mortgage
Loan, or substitute for any Mortgage Loan, in the event of a breach of its
representations and warranties with respect to such Mortgage Loan if the
substance of any such breach also constitutes fraud in the origination of such
Mortgage Loan on the part of any Person, other than any such fraud of which
the
Seller had knowledge on the Closing Date, and which the Seller has disclosed
in
writing to the Purchaser, the Trustee and each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, if a breach of representation or warranty cannot
reasonably be cured within ninety (90) days after written notice thereof, and
the Seller shall have commenced to cure such breach within such ninety (90)
day
period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same,
such ninety (90) day period shall be extended for so long as it shall require
the Seller in the exercise of due diligence to cure such breach, it being agreed
that no such extension shall be for a period in excess of the lesser of ninety
(90) days or the period of time during which the Seller is required to cure
or
repurchase an affected Mortgage Loan pursuant to any sale and/or securitization
agreement or arrangement it may enter into. The Seller shall amend the Closing
Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of such Mortgage Loan from the terms of
this
Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the addition, if any,
of a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser
such amended Closing Schedule and shall deliver such other documents as are
required by this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement within five
(5) days of any such amendment. The Seller shall have the option, but not the
obligation, to repurchase any Mortgage Loan if there has occurred a breach
of
any representation or warranty made to the Seller with respect to such Mortgage
Loan upon acquisition thereof, which breach materially and adversely affects
the
value of such Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase shall be effected in accordance
with this Section.
14
In
addition, to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if
the
Value of REO Property from Foreclosure Restricted Loans would equal or exceed
0.75% of the outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans listed in
Schedule
I
of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement as of the end of any Due Period, the Seller
shall purchase at fair market value on or prior to the related Distribution
Date
sufficient REO Property related to Foreclosure Restricted Loans or Foreclosure
Restricted Loans which are in default to cause the Trustee to hold REO Property
related to Foreclosure Restricted Loans with a Value of less than 0.75% of
the
outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans listed in Schedule
I
of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph the “Value” of
REO Property from a Foreclosure Restricted Loan shall be treated as equal to
the
Principal Balance of the related Foreclosure Restricted Loan plus interest
that
had accrued on such Mortgage Loan as of the date of acquisition of the REO
Property by the Trustee.
In
addition, the Seller shall have the option, but not the obligation, to
substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Removable Mortgage Loan
in
the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7(a). The
Seller’s option shall be exercisable on the date that such Mortgage Loan becomes
30 days delinquent and for 90 days thereafter. If the Seller exercises such
option with respect to any Removable Mortgage Loan, such Mortgage Loan shall
be
removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage
Loan). Without regard to whether the related Mortgagor subsequently makes a
late
Monthly Payment, the Seller shall retain its right to exercise the option
described above.
Any
repurchase pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall be accomplished by transfer
to an
account designated by the Purchaser of the amount of the Purchase Price in
accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any
repurchase or substitution required or permitted by this Section shall be made
in a manner consistent with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
(b) In
addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, the Seller shall
indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand,
defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach
of
the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. It is
understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this
Section 7 to cure, substitute for or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and
to
indemnify the Purchaser as provided in this Section 7 constitute the sole
remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations
and warranties.
(c) Any
cause
of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of the breach of any
representations and warranties made in Section 6 shall accrue as to any Mortgage
Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by the Purchaser or notice thereof by
the
Seller to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by the Seller to cure such breach or
repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the
Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.
(d) With
respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 6, which
are
made to the best of Seller’s knowledge or as to which Seller has no knowledge,
if it is discovered by the Seller or the Trustee that the substance of any
such
representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and
adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, then notwithstanding
the Seller’s knowledge or lack of knowledge with respect to the inaccuracy of
such representation and warranty at the time it was made, the party discovering
the inaccuracy shall take the action as described under this Section
7.
15

The
Seller shall pay (or shall reimburse the Purchaser or any other Person to the
extent that the Purchaser or such other Person shall pay) all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the transfer and delivery of the Mortgage Loans,
including without limitation recording fees, fees for title policy endorsements

The
Seller shall not solicit or assist in the solicitation, directly or indirectly,
for any purpose including without limitation refinance, subordinate financing
on
the related Mortgaged Property, home equity, insurance, or any other financial
service or product with regard to any Mortgagor; provided,
however,
that
promotions undertaken by the Seller that are directed to the general public
at
large, including without limitation mass mailings based on commercially acquired
mailing lists and newspaper, radio and television advertisements, shall not
constitute solicitation hereunder. The Seller further agrees to use its best
efforts to cause any Affiliate of the Seller to refrain from taking any action

Loans.
Section
12. Mandatory
Delivery; Grant of Security Interest.
The
sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the
Closing Schedule in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement
is mandatory. It is specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan
is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages
would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages
incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver the
Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date. The Seller hereby grants to the
Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in the Seller’s interest
in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each such
Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of its obligation
hereunder, and the Seller agrees to prepare and deliver to the Purchaser or
Purchaser’s assignee or transferee, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to any
filing date and, the Purchaser or its assignee or transferee shall forward
for
filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Seller,
all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings
necessary under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any jurisdiction
to
perfect the security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans. The Seller
agrees that it holds such Mortgage Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject
to the Purchaser’s (i) right, prior to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage
Loan to the extent permitted by this Agreement and to require another Mortgage
Loan to be substituted therefor pursuant to Section 4 hereof, and (ii)
obligation to deliver or cause to be delivered the consideration for the
Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 8 hereof. Any Mortgage Loans rejected by
the
Purchaser shall concurrently therewith be released from the security interest
created hereby. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement
are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under
this
Agreement or, subject to Section 7(b) hereof, afforded by law or equity and
all
such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or
successively.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if on the Closing Date each of the conditions set forth in
Section 8 hereof shall have been satisfied and the Purchaser shall not have
paid
or caused to be paid the Purchase Amount, or any such condition shall not have
been waived or satisfied and the Purchaser determines not to pay or cause to
be
paid the Purchase Amount, the Purchaser shall immediately effect the redelivery
of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to the Purchaser has occurred, and the
security interest created by this Section 12 shall be deemed to have been
released.
18
Section
13. Notices.
All
demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be
deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered to or mailed by
registered mail, postage prepaid, or transmitted by telex, telegraph or
facsimile and confirmed by a similar mailed writing, if to the Purchaser,
addressed to the Purchaser, at 0000 Xxxxx xx Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, 0xx

Section
14. Severability of Provisions.
Any
part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is
prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective
to
the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty
of
this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating
the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in
any
jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits
or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.
Section
15. Agreement of Parties.
The
Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such instruments
and
take such actions as the other may, from time to time, reasonably request in
order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement
and
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Section
16. Survival.
The
Seller agrees that the representations, warranties and agreements made by it
herein and in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto
shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Purchaser, notwithstanding any
investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Purchaser or on the
Purchaser’s behalf, and that the representations, warranties and agreements made
by the Seller herein or in any such certificate or other instrument shall
survive the delivery of and payment for the Mortgage Loans and shall continue
in
full force and effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement
on the Mortgage Notes and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this
Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.
Section
17. Indemnification.
(a) The
Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and each person,
if
any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) against any and all
losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Indemnified Party
may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in the Prospectus or the omission
or
the alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to
make
the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only
to
the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Purchaser by the Seller specifically for use
therein, which shall include the information set forth in the Prospectus
Supplement under “Description of the Mortgage Pools” and in the Base Prospectus
under “Bayview Financial, L.P.;” (ii) any representation, warranty or covenant
made by the Seller in this Agreement or in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
being, or alleged to be, untrue or incorrect in any material respect; or (iii)
the information regarding the mortgage loan data as set forth on the Closing
Schedule attached hereto as Schedule
I
and made
a part hereof for all purposes being, or alleged to be, untrue or incorrect
in
any material respect; provided,
however,
that to
the extent that any such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to
which the Indemnified Party may become subject arise out of or are based upon
both (A) statements, omissions, representations, warranties, covenants or
information of the Seller described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above and
(B)
any other factual basis, the Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Indemnified Party only to the extent that the losses, claims, expenses, damages
or liabilities of the person or persons asserting the claim are determined
to
arise from or be based upon matters set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and/or (iii)
above. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which
the
Seller may otherwise have.
19
(b) Promptly
after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any
such
action, the Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made
against the Seller under this Section 17, promptly notify the Seller in writing
of the commencement thereof and the Seller, upon the request of the Indemnified
Party, shall retain counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent
the Indemnified Party and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of
such counsel related to such proceeding (in which case the Seller shall not
thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel
retained by the Indemnified Party except as set forth below). In any such
proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel (including local counsel), and the Seller shall bear the reasonable
fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel
chosen by the Seller to represent the Indemnified Party would present such
counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants
in,
or targets of, any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Seller
and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those
available to the Seller, (iii) the Seller shall not have employed counsel
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within
a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the
Seller shall authorize the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at
the
expense of the Seller. The Seller shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for
such
fees, costs and expenses as they are incurred. The Seller will not, without
the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise or consent
to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim,
action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution
may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual
or
potential party to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or
consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all
liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. In addition,
for so long as the Seller is covering all costs and expenses of the Indemnified
Party as provided herein, no Indemnified Party shall settle or compromise or
consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened
claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or
contribution may be sought hereunder without the consent of the Seller, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Seller shall respond to any
written request to provide such consent within ten (10) days after receipt
thereof; if the Seller fails to respond within such time period, the Seller
shall be deemed to have responded in the negative to such request.
20
(c) Nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to allow an Indemnified Party to recover
punitive damages or consequential damages from the Seller; provided however,
that
this Section shall not limit indemnification of any Indemnified Party for
damages (however construed) actually recovered from an Indemnified Party by
third parties.
Section
18. Governing
Law.
THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF
THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER
THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS
AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SUCH LAWS.
Section
19. Miscellaneous.
This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement
nor
any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but
only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement
of
the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The headings in this
Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise
affect the meaning hereof.
It
is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans
by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 4 hereof be, and be
construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser and
not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure
a
debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans
are
held to be property of the Seller, then, (a) it is the express intent of the
parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the
Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller
and
(b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within
the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of
the
New York Uniform Commercial Code; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section
4
hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a
security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the
Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans
in
accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary
or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other
property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment
earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account whether
in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the
possession by the Purchaser or its agent of Mortgage Notes, the related
Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute instruments, money,
negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the
secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to
Section 9-313(a) of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (4) notifications
to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries,
bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting
such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest
of
the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(e) hereof shall also be deemed to be an
assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser
shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may
be
necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security
interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be
a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will
be
maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
21
Section
20. Amendment.
This
Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Seller
and the
Purchaser, with the consent of the Trustee but without notice to or the consent
of any of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to cause
the
provisions herein to conform to or be consistent with or in furtherance of
the
statements made with respect to the Certificates, the Trust Fund, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement or this Agreement in the Prospectus Supplement, or
to
correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any
other provisions herein, (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to
matters or questions arising under this Agreement or (iv) to add, delete, or
amend any provisions to the extent necessary or desirable to comply with any
requirements imposed by the Code and the REMIC Provisions. No such amendment
effected pursuant to clause (iii) of the preceding sentence shall adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder. Any
such
amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect any
Certificateholder if the Trustee receives written confirmation from each Rating
Agency that such amendment will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce the
then
current rating assigned to the Certificates, if any (and any Opinion of Counsel
requested by the Trustee in connection with any such amendment may rely
expressly on such confirmation as the basis therefor).
This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Seller and the Purchaser
with the consent of the Trustee and the Certificateholders of not less than
66-2/3% of the Class Principal Balance (or Percentage Interest) of each Class
of
Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement
or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided,
however,
that no
such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing
of, payments received on Mortgage Loans that are required to be distributed
on
any Certificate without the consent of the Certificateholder of such Certificate
or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Balance (or
Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Certificateholders
of
which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of
the
Certificateholders of 100% of the Class Principal Balance (or Percentage
Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. For purposes of this
paragraph, references to “Certificateholder” or “Certificateholders” shall be
deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the
related Certificate Owners.
22
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner
of
obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations
as
the Trustee may prescribe.
23
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Purchaser and the Seller have caused their names to be
signed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date
first above written.
