Principal
payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced being due no more than sixty (60) days
after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan bears
interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Mortgage Loan
which
is not a Negative Amortization Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first
day of each month in Monthly Payments, which, in the case of a Fixed Rate
Mortgage Loan, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance
over the original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan
identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage
Loan during the interest-only period or a Mortgage Loan which is identified
on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as a Balloon Mortgage Loan) and to pay
interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and, in the case of an
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, are changed on each Adjustment Date, and in

case, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over
the
original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan identified
on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan during
the
interest-only period or a Mortgage Loan which is identified on the related

which is sufficient during the period following each Payment Adjustment Date,
to
fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such
period (including any Negative Amortization) over the then remaining term of
such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate;
provided, that the Monthly Payment shall not increase to an amount that exceeds
107.5% of the amount of the Monthly Payment that was due immediately prior
to
the Payment Adjustment Date; provided, further, that the payment adjustment
cap
shall not be applicable with respect to the adjustment made to the Monthly
Payment that occurs in a year in which the Mortgage Loan has been outstanding
for a multiple of five (5) years and in any such year the Monthly Payment shall
be adjusted to fully amortize the Mortgage Loan over the remaining term. With
respect to each Mortgage Loan identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as an
interest-only Mortgage Loan, the interest-only period shall not exceed ten
(10)
years (or such other period specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) and
following the expiration of such interest-only period, the remaining Monthly
Payments shall be sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance
over the remaining term of the Mortgage Loan and to pay interest at the related
Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Balloon Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage
Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the
original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest
at
the related Mortgage Interest Rate and requires a final Monthly Payment
substantially greater than the preceding monthly payment which is sufficient
to
repay the remaining unpaid principal balance of the Balloon Mortgage Loan at
the
Due Date of such monthly payment. The Index for each Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loan is as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgage Loan is a
Convertible Mortgage Loan. No Balloon Mortgage Loan has an original stated
maturity of less than seven (7) years.

No
Mortgage Loan had an LTV or a CLTV at origination in excess of 97%. Each

to a Primary Insurance Policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, which insures
that
portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of the portion of the Appraised Value
of
the Mortgaged Property as required by Xxxxxx Mae. With respect to any Mortgage
Loan which allows Negative Amortization, such Primary Insurance Policy contains
provisions to cover the potential Negative Amortization of such Mortgage Loan.
All provisions of such Primary 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. Any Mortgage subject to any such Primary Insurance Policy
obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all
premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for
the
Mortgage Loan does not include any such insurance premium. Except to the extent
specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, no Mortgage Loan is subject to a lender
paid primary mortgage insurance policy. The Mortgage Interest Rate specified
on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any LPMI Fee.
(xiii)

by
deleting the second sentence of clause (xxxvii) in its entirety and

mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to

Mac.

life, mortgage, disability, accident, unemployment or health insurance) or
debt
cancellation agreement in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

Mortgage Loan originated on or following October 1, 2002 that is subject to
a
Prepayment Charge, such Prepayment Charge does not extend beyond three (3)
years
after the date of origination. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains
a
provision permitting imposition of a premium upon a prepayment prior to
maturity: (i) prior to the Mortgage Loan's origination, the Mortgagor agreed
to
such premium in exchange for a monetary benefit, including but not limited
to a
rate or fee reduction, (ii) if required by law, prior to the Mortgage Loan's
origination, the Mortgagor was offered the option of obtaining a Mortgage Loan
that did not require payment of such a premium, (iii) the prepayment premium
is
disclosed to the Mortgagor in the loan documents pursuant to applicable law,
and
(iv) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, the Seller shall
not impose such Prepayment Charge in any instance when the mortgage debt is
accelerated as the result of the Mortgagor's default in making the loan
payments.

Subsection
11.02 of the Servicing Addendum (Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments)
is
hereby amended by adding a new paragraph immediately following the
first
paragraph thereof to read as
follows:
|
The
Seller shall not waive any Prepayment Charge with respect to any Mortgage Loan
which contains a Prepayment Charge which prepays during the term of the charge.
If the Seller fails to collect the Prepayment Charge upon any prepayment of
any
Mortgage Loan which contains a Prepayment Charge, the Seller shall pay the
Purchaser at such time (by deposit to the Custodial Account) an amount equal
to
amount of the Prepayment Charge which was not collected. Notwithstanding the
above, the Seller may waive (and shall waive, in the case of (v) below) a
Prepayment Charge without paying the Purchaser the amount of the Prepayment
Charge (i) if the Mortgage Loan is in default (defined as 61 days or more
delinquent) and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking
into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan,
(ii) if the prepayment is not a result of a refinancing by the Seller or any
of
its affiliates and the Mortgage Loan is foreseen to be in default and such
waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value
of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan, (iii) if the collection
of the Prepayment Charge would be in violation of applicable laws, (iv) if
the
collection of such Prepayment Charge would be considered “predatory” pursuant to
written guidance published or issued by any applicable federal, state or local
regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having jurisdiction
over such matters and (v) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the
contrary, any instance when a Mortgage Loan is in foreclosure. The Seller hereby
acknowledges that for the purposes of the preceding sentence, (i) the law
applicable to the enforcement of prepayment penalties and charges is the law
applicable to the related originator of the Mortgage Loans and (ii) state laws
prohibiting or limiting prepayment penalties or charges are preempted and
thereby inapplicable if the related originator of the mortgage loans is a

shall (i) provide prompt notice to such effect to the Purchaser and (ii) provide
a written opinion of counsel from a nationally recognized law firm experienced
in regulatory matters concluding that fully enforcing prepayment penalties
or
charges would violate applicable law.

The

by a
Subservicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement; provided that such
sub-servicing arrangement and the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement
must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent
with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder. Each Subservicer shall
be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states where the related
Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent
required by law applicable to the Subservicer to enable the Subservicer to
perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and
(ii)
a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer. Notwithstanding the
provisions of any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this
Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Seller or a
Subservicer or reference to actions taken through the Seller or otherwise,
the
Seller shall remain obligated and liable to the Purchaser and its successors
and
assigns for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation
or
liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by
virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under
the same terms and conditions as if the Seller alone were servicing and
administering the Mortgage Loans. Every Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into
by
the Seller shall contain a provision giving the successor servicer the option
to
terminate such agreement in the event a successor servicer is appointed. All
actions of each Subservicer performed pursuant to the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement shall be performed as an agent of the Seller with the same force
and
effect as if performed directly by the Seller.
For
purposes of this Agreement, the Seller shall be deemed to have received any
collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans that
are
received by a Subservicer regardless of whether such payments are remitted
by
the Subservicer to the Seller.
Subsection
11.29 (Successor Subservicers).
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Seller shall be entitled to
terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and to either itself directly service
the
related Mortgage Loans or enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor
Subservicer which qualifies under Subsection 11.30. Any Sub-Servicing Agreement
shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated
by
any successor to the Seller without fee, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, in the event that the Seller (or any successor to the Seller) shall,
for any reason, no longer be the servicer of the related Mortgage Loans
(including termination due to an Event of Default).
Subsection
11.30 (No Contractual Relationship Between Subservicer and
Purchaser).
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to
the
Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the
Subservicer and the Seller alone and the Purchaser shall not be deemed a party
thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities
with respect to any Subservicer except as set forth in Subsection
11.27.
Subsection
11.31 (Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreement by Successor
Servicer).
In
connection with the assumption of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
and of the authority, power and rights of the Seller hereunder by a successor
servicer pursuant to Section 16 of this Agreement, it is understood and agreed
that the Seller’s rights and obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement then
in force between the Seller and a Subservicer shall be assumed simultaneously
by
such successor servicer without act or deed on the part of such successor
servicer; provided, however, that any successor servicer may terminate the
Subservicer.
1-18
The
Seller shall, upon the reasonable request of the Purchaser, but at its own
expense, deliver to the assuming party documents and records relating to each
Sub-Servicing Agreement and an accounting of amounts collected and held by
it
and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer

Subsection
32.05. Report
on
Assessment of Compliance and Attestation.
(i)
|
On
or before March 1 of each calendar year, commencing in 2007, the
Seller
shall:
|
(1) deliver
to the Purchaser, any Master Servicer and any Depositor a report (in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, such Master Servicer and
such Depositor) regarding the Seller’s assessment of compliance with the
Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar year, as required
under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation
AB. Such report shall be addressed to the Purchaser, such Master Servicer and
such Depositor and signed by an authorized officer of the Seller, and shall
address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a certification
substantially in the form of Exhibit 15 hereto delivered to the Purchaser
concurrently with the execution of this Agreement;
(2) deliver
to the Purchaser, any Master Servicer and any Depositor a report of a registered
public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser, such Master
Servicer and such Depositor that attests to, and reports on, the assessment
of
compliance made by the Seller and delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph.
Such attestation shall be in accordance with Rules 1 02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of
Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
(3) cause
each Subservicer, and each Subcontractor determined by the Seller pursuant
to
Subsection 32.06(ii) to be “participating in the servicing function” within the
meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Purchaser, any Master
Servicer and any Depositor an assessment of compliance and accountants’
attestation as and when provided in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Subsection;
and
1-27
(4) deliver
and cause each Subservicer and Subcontractor described in clause (3) to provide,
to the Purchaser, the Master Servicer and any Depositor a certification signed
by the appropriate officer of the company, in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit 14.
The
Seller acknowledges that the parties identified in clause (i)(4) above may
rely
on the certification provided by the Seller pursuant to such clause in signing
the certification (a “Sarbanes Certification”) required by Rules 13a-14(d) and
15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act (pursuant to Section 302 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx
Act of 2002) on behalf of an asset-backed issuer with respect to a
Securitization Transaction and filing such with the Commission. The Seller
shall
only be required to deliver a certification under clause (i)(4) above if a
Depositor is required under the Exchange Act to file an annual report on Form

Loans.
(ii)
|
Each
assessment of compliance provided by a Subservicer pursuant to Subsection

on a
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit 15 hereto delivered
to
the Purchaser concurrently with the execution of this Agreement or,
in the
case of a Subservicer subsequently appointed as such, on or prior
to the
date of such appointment. An assessment of compliance provided by
a
Subcontractor pursuant to Subsection 32.05(i)(3) need not address
any
elements of the Servicing Criteria other than those specified by
the
Seller pursuant to Subsection
32.06.
|
Subsection
32.06. Use
of
Subservicers and Subcontractors.
The
Seller shall not hire or otherwise utilize the services of any Subservicer
to
fulfill any of the obligations of the Seller as servicer under this Agreement
or
any Reconstitution Agreement unless the Seller complies with the provisions
of
paragraph (i) of this Subsection. The Seller shall not hire or otherwise utilize
the services of any Subcontractor, and shall not permit any Subservicer to
hire
or otherwise utilize the services of any Subcontractor, to fulfill any of the
obligations of the Seller as servicer under this Agreement or any Reconstitution
Agreement unless the Seller complies with the provisions of paragraph (ii)
of
this Subsection.
(i)
|
It
shall not be necessary for the Seller to seek the consent of the
Purchaser, the Master Servicer or any Depositor to the utilization
of any
Subservicer. The Seller shall cause any Subservicer used by the Seller
(or
by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Purchaser and any Depositor
to
comply with the provisions of this Subsection and with Subsections
32.02,
32.03(iii), (v), (vi) and (vii), 32.04, 32.05 and 32.07 of this Agreement
to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the Seller, and to

the information required with respect to such Subservicer under Subsection
32.03(iv) of this Agreement. The Seller shall be responsible for

and
attestation required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Subsection

that
will be responsible for signing the Sarbanes Certification under
Subsection 32.05 as and when required to be

|
(ii)
|
It
shall not be necessary for the Seller to seek the consent of the
Purchaser, the Master Servicer or any Depositor to the utilization
of any
Subcontractor. The Seller shall promptly upon request provide to
the
Purchaser, any Master Servicer and any Depositor (or any designee
of the
Depositor, such as an administrator) a written description (in form
and
substance satisfactory to the Purchaser, such Master Servicer and
such
Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized
by the
Seller or any Subservicer, specifying (i) the identity of each such
Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122
of Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria
will
be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor
identified pursuant to clause (ii) of this

a
condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, the Seller shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the Seller
(or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Purchaser and any Depositor
to
comply with the provisions of Subsections 32.05 and 32.07 of this Agreement
to
the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Seller. The Seller shall
be
responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the
Purchaser and any Depositor any assessment of compliance and attestation and
the
other certifications required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under
Subsection 32.05, in each case as and when required to be
delivered.
Subsection

a
Securitization Transaction: each sponsor and issuing entity; each
Person
responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report
required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such

to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect
to
such Securitization Transaction; each broker dealer acting as underwriter,
placement agent or initial purchaser, each Person who controls any
of such
parties or the Depositor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the

of each of the foregoing and of the Depositor (each, an “Indemnified
Party”), and shall hold each of them harmless from and against any claims,
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses
and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses
that
any of them may sustain arising solely out of or based solely
upon:
|
(i)(A)
any untrue statement of a material fact (regardless of whether an admission
has
been made or a final judgment has been entered by a finder of fact as to such
untrue statement) contained in any information, report, certification, data,
accountants’ letter or other material provided in written or electronic form
under this Section 32 by or on behalf of the Seller, or provided under this
Section 32 by or on behalf of any Subservicer, Subcontractor or Third-Party
Originator (collectively, the “Seller Information”), or (B) the omission to
state in the Seller Information a material fact required to be stated in the
Seller Information or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
(regardless of whether an admission has been made or a final judgment has been
entered by a finder of fact as to such omission); provided, by way of
clarification, that clause (B) of this paragraph shall be construed solely
by
reference to the Seller Information and not to any other information
communicated in connection with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard
to whether the Seller Information or any portion thereof is presented together
with or separately from such other information;
1-29
(ii)
|
any
breach by the Seller of its obligations under this Section 32 or
any
failure by the Seller, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any
Third-Party Originator to deliver any information, report, certification,
accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under this
Section 32, including any failure by the Seller to identify pursuant
to
Subsection 32.06(ii) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing
function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB;
or
|
(iii)
|
any
breach by the Seller of a representation or warranty set forth in
Subsection 32.02(i) or in a writing furnished pursuant to Subsection
32.02(ii) and made as of a date prior to the closing date of the
related
Securitization Transaction, to the extent that such breach is not
cured by
such closing date, or any breach by the Seller of a representation
or
warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to Subsection 32.02(ii)
to the
extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date;
or
|
(iv)
|
the
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Seller in connection
with its performance under this Section
32.
|
If
the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless an Indemnified Party, then the Seller 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 Seller on the other.
In
the
case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(ii) of this
Subsection, the Seller shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser, any Depositor,
as
applicable, and each Person responsible for the preparation, execution or filing
of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such
Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification pursuant to
Rule
13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such
Securitization Transaction, for all costs reasonably incurred by each such
party
in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter
or other material not delivered as required by the Seller, any Subservicer,
any
Subcontractor or any Third-Party Originator.
This
indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the
termination of any party to this Agreement.
(b) (i) Any
failure by the Seller, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party
Originator to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’
letter or other material when and as required under this Section 32, or any
breach by the Seller of a representation or warranty set forth in Subsection
32.02(i) or in a writing furnished pursuant to Subsection 32.02(ii) and made
as
of a date prior to the closing date of the related Securitization Transaction,
to the extent that such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach
by the Seller of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant
to
Subsection 32.02(ii) to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing
date, shall, except as provided in clause (ii) of this paragraph, immediately
and automatically, without notice or grace period, constitute an Event of
Default with respect to the Seller under this Agreement and any applicable
Reconstitution Agreement, and shall entitle the Purchaser, Master Servicer
or
Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and
obligations of the Seller as servicer under this Agreement and/or any applicable
Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement to the contrary) of any
compensation to the Seller(and if the Company is servicing any of the Mortgage
Loans in a Securitization Transaction, appoint a successor servicer reasonably
acceptable to any Master Servicer for such Securitization Transaction); provided
that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable
Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights
or obligations following termination of the Seller as servicer, such provision
shall be given effect.
1-30
(ii)
|
Any
failure by the Seller, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver
any
information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and as
required under Subsection 32.04 or 32.05, including (except as provided
below) any failure by the Seller to identify pursuant to Subsection
32.06(ii) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function”
within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, which continues
unremedied for ten calendar days after the date on which such information,
report, certification or accountants’ letter was required to be delivered
shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Seller under
this
Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement, and shall
entitle
the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or Depositor, as applicable, in
its
sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Seller
as
servicer under this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution
Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to
the contrary) of any compensation to the Seller; provided that to
the
extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable
Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain
rights or obligations following termination of the Seller as servicer,
such provision shall be given
effect.
|
Neither
the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall be entitled to terminate the rights and
obligations of the Seller pursuant to this Subsection (b)(ii) if a failure
of
the Seller to identify a Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function”
within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable solely to
the
role or functions of such Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other
than the Mortgage Loans.
(iii) The
Seller shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser (or any designee of the Purchaser,
such as a master servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable
expenses incurred by the Purchaser (or such designee) or such Depositor, as
such
are incurred, in connection with the termination under this Section 32 of the
Seller as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a
successor servicer. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever
rights the Purchaser or any Depositor may have under other provisions of this
Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise, whether
in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or
injunctive relief.

and Records.
Record
title to each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note as of the related Closing
Date shall be in the name of the Seller, the Purchaser, the Custodian or
one or
more designees of the Purchaser, as the Purchaser shall designate.

true
and correct;
(ii) The
Mortgage Loan is in compliance with all requirements set forth in the related
Confirmation, and the characteristics of the related Mortgage Loan Package
as
set forth in the related Confirmation are true and correct, provided, however,
that in the event of any conflict between the terms of any Confirmation and
this
Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control;
(iii) All
payments required to be made up to the close of business on the Closing Date
for
such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made; the
Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received
any
advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged
Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required
by the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage; and there has been no delinquency, exclusive of
any
period of grace, in any payment by the Mortgagor thereunder since the
origination of the Mortgage Loan;

of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered
or
modified in any respect, except by written instruments, recorded in the

of
any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the
insurer
under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, and
the
title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy, and is reflected
on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or
modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole
or
in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the
insurer
under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, and
the
title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption
agreement has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are
reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(vi) The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will
the
operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the
exercise of any right thereunder, render the 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.
Each

enforceable and collectible under applicable federal, state and local
law;
-17-
(vii) All
buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable
to
FNMA and FHLMC against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such
other
hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located,
pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of the Servicing
Addendum. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause
naming
the Seller, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon
have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood
Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance
has
been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of

the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost

been
complied with;
(ix) The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded, in
whole
or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien
of
the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that
would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission
or
release;
(x) The
Mortgage (including any Negative Amortization which may arise thereunder)
is a
valid, existing and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including
all improvements on the Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of
current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b)
covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other
matters of the public record as of the date of recording being acceptable
to
mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the
lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage
Loan
and which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property,
and (c) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which
do not
materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided
by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related
Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent
document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan
establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable first lien and
first
priority security interest on the property described therein and the Seller
has
full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser;
-18-
(xi) The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal,
valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with
its
terms;
(xii) All
parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to enter
into

and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed
by
such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person;
(xiii) The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account
of
the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance additional
funds thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site
or
off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor
have
been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing
the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the
Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the
Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(xiv) The
Seller is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of the Mortgage
Note
and the Mortgage and has 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;
(xv) All
parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee,
assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they
held
and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any and all applicable
“doing business” and licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the
Mortgaged Property is located;
(xvi) The
Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (which, has
an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1)
acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, 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 (x)(a)
and
(b) above) the Seller, 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, Monthly Payment and Negative Amortization provisions
of
the Mortgage Note. Additionally, such lender's title insurance policy
affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property,
and
against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein.
The Seller is the sole insured of such lender's title insurance policy, and
such
lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in 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 Seller, has done,
by
act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's
title
insurance policy;
(xvii) There
is
no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the
Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time
or
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and the Seller has not
waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration;
-19-
(xviii) 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 lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens
prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related
Mortgage;
(xix) All
improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of
the
related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property;
(xx) The
Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller or by a savings and loan association,
a savings bank, a commercial bank or similar banking institution which is
supervised and examined by a federal or state authority, or by a mortgagee
approved as such by the Secretary of HUD;
(xxi) Principal
payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty days after the
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan bears interest
at the Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loan which is not a Negative Amortization Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable
on
the first day of each month in Monthly Payments, which, are changed on each
Adjustment Date, and are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal
balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related
Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Negative Amortization Mortgage
Loan, the related Mortgage Note requires a Monthly Payment which is sufficient
during the period following each Payment Adjustment Date, to fully amortize
the
outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period (including
any
Negative Amortization) over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note
and to
pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate; provided, that the Monthly
Payment shall not increase to an amount that exceeds 107.5% of the amount
of the
Monthly Payment that was due immediately prior to the Payment Adjustment
Date;
provided, further, that the payment adjustment cap shall not be applicable
with
respect to the adjustment made to the Monthly Payment that occurs in a year
in
which the Mortgage Loan has been outstanding for a multiple of 5 years or
the
negative amortization limit is reached and in any such year the Monthly Payment
shall be adjusted to fully amortize the Mortgage Loan over the remaining
term.
The Index for each Mortgage Loan is as defined in the related Confirmation.
No
Mortgage Loan is a Convertible Mortgage Loan;
(xxii) The
origination and collection practices used by the Seller with respect to each
Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all respects legal, proper, prudent
and
customary in the mortgage origination and servicing industry. The Mortgage
Loan
has been serviced by the Seller and any predecessor servicer in accordance
with
the terms of the Mortgage Note. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow
Payments, if any, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the
control of, the Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith
for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made.
No
escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Seller
have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and
no

methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage
Loan
employs objective mathematical principles which relate the Mortgagor’s income,

Subsection
7.03 Remedies
for Breach of Representations and Warranties.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
Subsections 7.01 and 7.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to
the
Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding
any
restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of
Mortgage or the examination or lack of examination of any Mortgage File.
Upon
discovery by either the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the
foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects
the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser (or which
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser in the related
Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a
particular Mortgage Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice to the other.
-27-
Within
60
days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any
breach
of a representation or warranty which materially and adversely affects the
value
of a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall use its best efforts
promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such breach
cannot
be cured, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option, repurchase such Mortgage
Loan at the Repurchase Price. In the event that a breach shall involve any
representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 7.01 and such breach cannot
be cured within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to
the
Seller of such breach, all of the Mortgage Loans shall, at the Purchaser’s
option, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase Price. The Seller
shall,
at the request of the Purchaser and assuming that Seller has a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase the Mortgage Loan as provided
above, remove such Mortgage Loan and substitute in its place a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans; provided that such substitution shall
be
effected not later than 120 days after the related Closing Date. If the Seller
has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, it shall repurchase the deficient
Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan(s) pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Subsection 7.03 shall occur on a date designated by the
Purchaser and shall be accomplished (i) during the Interim Servicing Period
by
deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price for
distribution to the Purchaser on the next scheduled Distribution Date and
(ii)
following the Interim Servicing Period, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds on the repurchase date to an account designated by the
Purchaser.
At
the
time of repurchase of any deficient Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser and the
Seller
shall arrange for the reassignment of the repurchased Mortgage Loan to the
Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Custodian
relating to the repurchased Mortgage Loan. In the event the Repurchase Price
is
deposited in the Custodial Account, the Seller shall, simultaneously with
such
deposit, give written notice to the Purchaser that such deposit has taken
place.
Upon such repurchase the related Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be amended
to
reflect the withdrawal of the repurchased Mortgage Loan from this
Agreement.
As
to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering
to the Purchaser for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans the
Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and such other documents
and agreements as are required by the Custodial Agreement, with the Mortgage
Note endorsed as required therein. The Seller shall deposit in the Custodial
Account the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due on such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such
substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans in the month of substitution will be retained by the Seller. For the
month
of substitution, distributions to the Purchaser will include the Monthly
Payment
due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the Seller
shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received
by the
Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall give written
notice to the Purchaser that such substitution has taken place and shall
amend
the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage
Loan
from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in
all
respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution,
the
covenants, representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 7.01 and
7.02.
-28-
For
any
month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller will determine the
amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after
application of scheduled principal payments due in the month of substitution).
An amount equal to the product of the amount of such shortfall multiplied
by the
Repurchase Price shall be distributed by the Seller in the month of substitution
pursuant to the Servicing Addendum. Accordingly, on the date of such
substitution, the Seller will deposit from its own funds into the Custodial
Account an amount equal to such amount.
In
addition to such cure, repurchase and substitution obligation, the Seller
shall
indemnify the Initial Purchaser and any subsequent Purchaser and hold them
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 Section 7. It is understood and agreed that
the
obligations of the Seller set forth in this Subsection 7.03 to cure or
repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Initial Purchaser
and
any subsequent Purchaser as provided in this Subsection 7.03 constitute the
sole
remedies of the Initial Purchaser and any subsequent Purchaser respecting
a
breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.
Any
cause
of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of the breach of
any
representations and warranties made in Subsections 7.01 or 7.02 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 the relevant
provisions of this Agreement.
In
addition to the foregoing, in the event that there is any breach of a
representation or warranty with respect to any Mortgage Loan, and such Mortgage
Loan is subject to a Prepayment Charge then within 90 days of the earlier
of
discovery by the Seller or receipt of notice by the Seller of a breach of
any
representation of the Seller which materially and adversely affects the
interests of any Prepayment Charge, the Seller shall pay the amount of the
scheduled Prepayment Charge to the Purchaser.

SECTION
13. The
Seller.
Subsection
13.01 Additional
Indemnification by the Seller.
In
addition to the indemnification provided in Subsection 7.03, the Seller shall
indemnify the Initial Purchaser and any subsequent Purchaser and hold them
harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments,
and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Initial Purchaser and any
subsequent Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of the
Seller
to perform its obligations under this Agreement including but not limited
to its
obligation to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance
with the terms of this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement entered
into
pursuant to Section 12.
Subsection
13.02 Merger
or Consolidation of the Seller.
The
Seller shall keep in full force and effect its existence, rights as a federal
association under the laws of the United States of America except as permitted
herein, and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business 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 enable
the
Seller to perform its duties under this Agreement.
Any
Person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller
shall
be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Seller, shall
be the
successor of the Seller 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 whose deposits are insured by FDIC or a company
whose business is the origination and servicing of mortgage loans, shall
be a
FNMA or FHLMC approved seller/servicer and shall satisfy any requirements
of
Section 16 with respect to the qualifications of a successor to the
Seller.
Subsection
13.03 Limitation
on Liability of the Seller and Others.
Neither
the Seller nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Seller shall
be
under any liability to the Purchaser for any action taken or for refraining
from
the taking of any action in good faith in connection with the servicing of
the
Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided,
however, that this provision shall not protect the Seller or any such person
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 any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Seller and
any
officer, employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good faith on any document
of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting
any matters arising hereunder. The Seller shall not be under any obligation
to
appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to
its
obligation to sell or duty to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
this
Agreement and which in its opinion may result in its incurring any expenses
or
liability; provided, however, that the Seller 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 legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability
resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the
Purchaser shall be liable, the Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement
therefor from the Purchaser upon written demand except when such expenses,
costs
and liabilities are subject to the Seller’s indemnification under Subsections
7.03 or 13.01.
-34-
Subsection
13.04 Seller
Not to Resign.
The
Seller shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations and
duties
hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Seller and the Purchaser
or
upon the determination that its servicing duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the
Seller in which event the Seller may resign as servicer. Any such determination
permitting the resignation of the Seller as servicer shall be evidenced by
an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion
of
Counsel shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to both the
Purchaser and the Seller and which shall be provided at the cost of the Seller.
No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed
the Seller’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided
in Section 16.
Subsection
13.05 No
Transfer of Servicing.
With
respect to the retention of the Seller to service the Mortgage Loans during
the
Interim Servicing Period, the Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser has
acted
in reliance upon the Seller’s independent status, the adequacy of its servicing
facilities, plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation
and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting
the generality of this Section, the Seller shall not either assign this
Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder
or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all
of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Purchaser,
which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
SECTION
14. Default.
Subsection
14.01 Events
of Default.
-35-
In
case
one or more of the following Events of Default by the Seller shall occur
and be
continuing, that is to say:
(i) any
failure by the Seller to remit to the Purchaser any payment required to be
made
under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period
of one
Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring
the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Seller by the Purchaser;
or
(ii) failure
on the part of the Seller duly to observe or perform in any material respect
any
other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Seller set forth
in this
Agreement or in the Custodial 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 Seller by
the
Purchaser or by the Custodian; 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, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs,
shall
have been entered against the Seller and such decree or order shall have
remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty days;
or
(iv) the
Seller shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshalling
of
assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Seller
or of
or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(v) the
Seller shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as
they
become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency
or
reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors,
or
voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(vi) failure
by the Seller to be in compliance with the “doing business” or licensing laws of
any jurisdiction where a Mortgaged Property is located; or
(vii)
the
Seller ceases to meet the qualifications of either a FNMA or FHLMC
seller/servicer, or the Seller is not eligible to act as servicer or master
servicer for mortgage loans subject to residential mortgage backed securities
transactions rated by any nationally recognized rating agency or is eligible
to
act as such only with enhanced credit support; or
(viii) Seller’s
membership in MERS is terminated for any reason; or
(ix) the
Seller attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or
the
Seller attempts, without the consent of the Purchaser, to sell or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign
this
Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its
duties
hereunder or any portion thereof;
-36-
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 Seller may, in addition
to
whatever rights the Purchaser may have at law or equity to damages, including
injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and
obligations of the Seller as servicer under this Agreement. On or after the
receipt by the Seller of such written notice, all authority and power of
the
Seller to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement shall on the date
set
forth in such notice pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant
to Section 16.
Subsection
14.02 Waiver
of Defaults.
The
Purchaser may waive any default by the Seller 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.
SECTION
15. Termination.
The
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller, as servicer, shall
terminate at the expiration of the Interim Servicing Period unless terminated
on
an earlier date at the option of the Purchaser or pursuant to Section 14.
Upon
written request from the Purchaser in connection with any such termination,
the
Seller shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other
instruments, place in the Purchaser’s possession 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 Seller’s sole expense. The Seller agrees to cooperate with the
Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of the Seller’s
responsibilities and rights hereunder as servicer, 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 Seller to the Custodial
Account, REO Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect
to
the Mortgage Loans.
SECTION
16. Successor
to the Seller.
Prior
to
termination of Seller’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement
pursuant to Section 12, 14 or 15, the Purchaser shall (i) succeed to and
assume
all of the Seller’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this
Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor which shall succeed to all rights
and
assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Seller
as
servicer 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 it and such successor
shall
agree. In the event that the Seller’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities
as servicer under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the
aforementioned Sections, the Seller 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 the Purchaser or such successor. The termination of the Seller
as
interim servicer pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become
effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 16
and
shall in no event relieve the Seller of the representations and warranties
made
pursuant to Subsections 7.01 and 7.02 and the remedies available to the
Purchaser under Subsection 7.03 or 7.04, it being understood and agreed that
the
provisions of such Subsections 7.01, 7.02, 7.03 and 7.04 shall be applicable
to
the Seller notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Seller,
or
the termination of this Agreement.
-37-
Any
successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to
the Seller 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 Seller, with
like
effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement and the Custodial
Agreement provided, however, that such successor shall not assume, and Seller
shall indemnify such successor for, any and all liabilities arising out of
the
Seller’s acts as servicer. Any termination of the Seller as servicer pursuant to
Section 12, 14 or 15 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have
against the Seller arising prior to any such termination or resignation or
remedies with respect to such claims.
The
Seller shall timely deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account,
REO Account and the Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files and related documents
and statements held by it hereunder and the Seller shall account for all
funds.
The Seller 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 Seller as servicer. The successor shall make arrangements
as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Seller for amounts the Seller
actually expended as servicer pursuant to this Agreement which the successor
is
entitled to retain hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered
by
the Seller pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor
servicer.
SECTION
17. Financial
Statements.
The
Seller understands that in connection with the Purchaser’s marketing of the
Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall make available to prospective purchasers
the
Seller’s financial statements for the most recently completed three fiscal years
respecting which such statements are available. The Seller also shall make
available any comparable interim statements to the extent any such statements
have been prepared by the Seller (and are available upon request to members
or
stockholders of the Seller or the public at large). The Seller, if it has
not
already done so, agrees to furnish promptly to the Purchaser copies of the
statements specified above. The Seller also shall make available information
on
its servicing performance with respect to mortgage loans serviced for others,
including delinquency ratios.
The
Seller also agrees to allow access to knowledgeable financial, accounting,
origination and servicing officers of the Seller for the purpose of answering
questions asked by any prospective purchaser regarding recent developments
affecting the Seller, its loan origination or servicing practices or the
financial statements of the Seller.
-38-
SECTION
18. Mandatory
Delivery: Grant of Security Interest.
The
sale
and delivery of each Mortgage Loan on or before the related Closing Date
is
mandatory from and after the date of the execution of the related Confirmation,
it being 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 Initial Purchaser for the losses and damages
incurred by the Initial Purchaser (including damages to prospective purchasers
of the Mortgage Loans) in the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver each of
the related Mortgage Loans or one or more Mortgage Loans otherwise acceptable
to
the Initial Purchaser on or before the related Closing Date. The Seller hereby
grants to the Initial Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security 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 that it holds such Mortgage Loans in custody
for the Initial Purchaser subject to the Initial Purchaser’s (i) right to reject
any Mortgage Loan under the terms of this Agreement and the related
Confirmation, and (ii) obligation to pay the related Purchase Price for the
Mortgage Loans. 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 afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may
be
exercised concurrently, independently or successively.
SECTION
19. Notices.
All
demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be
deemed to have been duly given if mailed, by registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested, or, if by other means, when received by the other

Any such demand, notice or communication hereunder shall be deemed to have
been
received on the date delivered to or received at the premises of the addressee
(as evidenced, in the case of registered or certified mail, by the date noted
on
the return receipt).
SECTION
20. Severability
Clause.
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 which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction,
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. If the invalidity
of any
part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive
any
party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement,
the
parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to develop a structure the economic
effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the economic effect of
this
Agreement without regard to such invalidity.
SECTION
21. Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each
counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts
shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
SECTION
22. Governing
Law.
The
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New
York without regard to any conflicts of law provisions and the obligations,
rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent preempted by
Federal law.
SECTION
23. Intention
of the Parties.
It
is the
intention of the parties that the Initial Purchaser is purchasing, and the
Seller is selling, the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the Seller
or
another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the
transaction for Federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and
a
purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The Initial Purchaser shall
have the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan
Files
to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect
the
Federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller
shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Initial Purchaser
in
the course of such review.
-40-
SECTION
24. Successors
and Assigns.
This
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Seller and the Purchaser and the respective successors and assigns of the
Seller
and the Purchaser. The Purchaser may assign this Agreement to any Person
to whom
any Mortgage Loan is transferred whether pursuant to a sale or financing
and to
any Person to whom the servicing or master servicing of any Mortgage Loan
is
sold or transferred. Upon any such assignment, the Person to whom such
assignment is made shall succeed to all rights and obligations of the Purchaser
under this Agreement to the extent of the related Mortgage Loan or Mortgage
Loans and this Agreement, to the extent of the related Mortgage Loan or Loans,
shall be deemed to be a separate and distinct Agreement between the Seller
and
such Purchaser, and a separate and distinct Agreement between the Seller
and
each other Purchaser to the extent of the other related Mortgage Loan or
Loans.
In the event that this Agreement is assigned to any Person to whom the servicing
or master servicing of any Mortgage Loan is sold or transferred, the rights
and
benefits under this agreement which inure to the Purchaser shall inure to
the
benefit of both the Person to whom such Mortgage Loan is transferred and
the
Person to whom the servicing or master servicing of the Mortgage Loan has
been
transferred; provided that, the right to require a Mortgage Loan to be
repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or 7.04 shall be retained
solely by the Purchaser. This Agreement shall not be assigned, pledged or
hypothecated by the Seller to a third party without the consent of the
Purchaser.
SECTION
25. Waivers.
No
term
or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver
or
modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver
or
modification is sought to be enforced.
SECTION
26. Exhibits.
The
exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof
and
are an integral part of this Agreement.
SECTION
27. Nonsolicitation.
The
Seller covenants and agrees that it shall not take any action to solicit
the
refinancing of any Mortgage Loan following the date hereof or provide
information to any other entity to solicit the refinancing of any Mortgage
Loan;
provided that, the foregoing shall not preclude the Seller from engaging
in
solicitations to the general public by newspaper, radio, television or other
media which are not directed toward the Mortgagors or from refinancing the
Mortgage Loan of any Mortgagor who, without solicitation, contacts the Seller
to
request the refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan.

OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE SELLER]
______________________________
(Date)

Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx
Xxxxxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxxx 00000
Re: |
Master
Mortgage Loan Purchase and Interim Servicing Agreement, dated as
of
September 1, 2004
|
Gentlemen:
I
have
acted as counsel to Xxxxxx Savings and Loan, F.A., a federal association
(the
“Seller”), in connection with the sale of certain mortgage loans by the Seller
to Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to (i)
a Master Mortgage Loan Purchase and Interim Servicing Agreement, dated as
of
September 1, 2004, between the Seller and the Purchaser (the “Purchase
Agreement”), the Custodial Agreement, dated as of [Month] 1, 2004, among the
Seller, the Purchaser, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Custodial
Agreement”) [and the Confirmation, dated [Month], 2004, between the Seller and
the Purchaser (the “Confirmation”)]. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
In
connection with rendering this opinion letter, I, or attorneys working under
my
direction, have examined, among other things, originals, certified copies
or
copies otherwise identified to my satisfaction as being true copies of the
following:
A.
|
The
Purchase Agreement;
|
B.
|
[The
Confirmation;]
|
C.
|
The
Custodial Agreement;
|
D.
|
The
Seller’s charter and formation documents, as amended to date;
and
|
E.
|
Resolutions
adopted by the Board of Directors of the Seller with specific
reference to
actions relating to the transactions covered by this opinion
(the “Board
Resolutions”).
|
For
the
purpose of rendering this opinion, I have made such documentary, factual
and
legal examinations as I deemed necessary under the circumstances. As to factual
matters, I have relied upon statements, certificates and other assurances
of
public officials and of officers and other representatives of the Seller,
and
upon such other certificates as I deemed appropriate, which factual matters
have
not been independently established or verified by me. I have also assumed,
among
other things, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all
natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals,
and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me
as
copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copied
documents.
On
the
basis of and subject to the foregoing examination, and in reliance thereon,
and
subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exceptions and limitations expressed
herein, I am of the opinion that:
1. The
Seller has been duly formed and is validly existing and in good standing
under
the laws of the United States with corporate power and authority to own its
properties and conduct its business as presently conducted by it. The Seller
has
the corporate power and authority to service the Mortgage Loans, and to execute,
deliver, and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, the Custodial
Agreement [and the Confirmation] (sometimes collectively, the
“Agreements”).
2. The
Purchase Agreement, the Custodial Agreement [and the Confirmation] have been
duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller.
3. The
Purchase Agreement, the Custodial Agreement [and the Confirmation] constitute
valid, legal and binding obligations of the Seller, enforceable against the
Seller in accordance with their respective terms.
4. To
the
best of my knowledge, no consent, approval, authorization or order of any
state
or federal court or government agency or body is required for the execution,
delivery and performance by the Seller of the Purchase Agreement, the Custodial
Agreement [and the Confirmation], or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Custodial Agreement [and the
Confirmation], except for those consents, approvals, authorizations or orders
which previously have been obtained.
5. Neither
the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller as provided in the Purchase
Agreement [and the Confirmation,] nor the fulfillment of the terms of or
the
consummation of any other transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement,
the Custodial Agreement [and the Confirmation] will result in a breach of
any
term or provision of the charter and formation documents of the Seller, or,
to
the best of my knowledge, will conflict with, result in a breach or violation
of, or constitute a default under, (i) the terms of any indenture or other
agreement or instrument known to me to which the Seller is a party or by
which
it is bound, (ii) any statute or regulation applicable to the Seller, or
(iii)
any order of any federal court, regulatory body, administrative agency or
governmental body having jurisdiction over the Seller, except in any such
case
where the default, breach or violation would not have a material adverse
effect
on the Seller or its ability to perform its obligations under the Purchase
Agreement and the Custodial Agreement.
6. There
is
no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of my
knowledge, threatened against the Seller which, in my judgment, either in
any
one instance or in the aggregate, would draw into question the validity of
the
Purchase Agreement or the Custodial Agreement or which would be likely to
impair
materially the ability of the Seller to perform under the terms of the Purchase
Agreement or the Custodial Agreement.
-2-
7. The
sale
of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage as and in the manner contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement is sufficient fully to transfer to the Purchaser all right,
title and interest of the Seller thereto as noteholder and
mortgagee.
8. The
Assignments of Mortgage are in recordable form and upon completion will be
acceptable for recording under the laws of the State of California. When
endorsed, as provided in the Custodial Agreement, the Mortgage Notes will
be
duly endorsed under California law.
The
opinions above are subject to the following additional assumptions, exceptions,
qualifications and limitations:
A. I
have
assumed that all parties to the Agreements other than the Seller have all
requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform their respective
obligations under each of the Agreements, and that the Agreements have been
duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such parties,
have
been executed and delivered by such parties and constitute the legal, valid
and
binding obligations of such parties.
B. My
opinion expressed in paragraphs 3 and 7 above is subject to the qualifications
that (i) the enforceability of the Agreements may be limited by the effect
of
laws relating to (1) bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or
other
similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally,
including, without limitation, the effect of statutory or other laws regarding
fraudulent conveyances or preferential transfers, and (2) general principles
of
equity upon the specific enforceability of any of the remedies, covenants
or
other provisions of the Agreements and upon the availability of injunctive
relief or other equitable remedies and the application of principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding
in
equity or at law) as such principles relate to, limit or affect the enforcement
of creditors’ rights generally and the discretion of the court before which any
proceeding for such enforcement may be brought; and (ii) I express no opinion
herein with respect to the validity, legality, binding effect or enforceability
of (a) provisions for indemnification in the Agreements to the extent such
provisions may be held to be unenforceable as contrary to public policy or
(b)
Section 18 of the Purchase Agreement.
C. I
have
assumed, without independent check or certification, that there are no
agreements or understandings among the Seller, the Purchaser and any other
party
which would expand, modify or otherwise affect the terms of the documents
described herein or the respective rights or obligations of the parties
thereunder.
I
am
admitted to practice in the State of California, and I render no opinion
herein
as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State
of
California and the Federal laws of the United States of America.
Very
truly yours,

SERVICING
ADDENDUM
Subsection
11.01 Seller
to Act as Servicer.
The
Seller, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement during the Interim Servicing
Period 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 Seller may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the
terms
of this Agreement.
Consistent
with the terms of this Agreement, the Seller may waive, modify or vary any
term
of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance
with
any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the
Seller’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification,
postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser; provided,
however, that the Seller shall not permit any modification with respect to
any
Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive
the
payment thereof or of any principal or interest payments, reduce the outstanding
principal amount (except for actual payments of principal), make additional
advances of additional principal or extend the final maturity date on such
Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller
shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver
on behalf of itself, and the Purchaser, all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the
Mortgaged Property. If reasonably required by the Seller, the Purchaser shall
furnish the Seller with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary
or
appropriate to enable the Seller to carry out its servicing and administrative
duties under this Agreement.
The
Seller shall notify MERS of the ownership interest of the Purchaser in each
MOM
Loan through the MORNET system or MIDANET system, as applicable, or any other
comparable system acceptable to MERS. At any time during the term of this
Agreement, the Purchaser may direct the Seller to cause any MOM Loan to be
deactivated from the MERS System.
In
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall employ
procedures including collection procedures and exercise the same care that
it
customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage
loans
for its own account giving due consideration to accepted mortgage servicing
practices of prudent lending institutions and the Purchaser’s reliance on the
Seller.
Subsection
11.02 Collection
of Mortgage Loan Payments.
Continuously
from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans
are
paid in full, the Seller shall 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
and the
terms and provisions of any related Primary 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. Further, the
Seller shall take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual ground
rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums,
mortgage insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in the
Mortgage, will become due and payable to the end that the installments payable
by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they
become
due and payable.
Subsection
11.03 Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The
Seller shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the
Seller would use in servicing loans for its own account, to foreclose upon
or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of such Mortgaged Properties as
come
into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements
can be
made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Subsection 11.01.
The
Seller shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans
in
such a 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 Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Seller shall not
be
required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property
in
excess of $2,000 unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such
restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage
Loan to Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii)
that
such expenses will be recoverable by the Seller through Insurance Proceeds
or
Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated
in
Subsection 11.05. In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan
is
not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor
fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan
and
such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Seller shall
take
such action as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the Purchaser.
In the
event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan remains delinquent for
a
period of 90 days or more, the Seller shall commence foreclosure proceedings,
provided that prior to commencing foreclosure proceedings, the Seller shall
notify the Purchaser in writing of the Seller’s intention to do so, and the
Seller shall not commence foreclosure proceedings if the Purchaser objects
to
such action within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such notice. In such
connection, the Seller shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred
by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled
to
reimbursement thereof from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated
in
Subsection 11.05.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 11.03, with respect to any Mortgage
Loan as to which the Seller has received actual notice of, or has actual
knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related
Mortgaged Property the Seller shall not either (i) obtain title to such
Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise,
or
(ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action, with respect
to,
such Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the Purchaser
would
be considered to hold title to, to be a mortgagee-in-possession of, or to
be an
owner or operator of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980,
as
amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Seller has also
previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a prudent report
prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary
industry standards, that:
-2-
(1) such
Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or,
if
not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Purchaser to take
such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance
therewith; and
(2) there
are
no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use,
management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials,
hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under
any
federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials
are
present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the
best
economic interest of the Purchaser to take such actions with respect to the
affected Mortgaged Property.
The
cost
of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Subsection 11.03 shall
be
advanced by the Seller, subject to the Seller’s right to be reimbursed therefor
from the Custodial Account as provided in Subsection 11.05(v).
If
the
Seller determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest
of the Purchaser to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such
Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or
to
take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation
of
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based
materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Seller shall take
such
action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Purchaser.
The
cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be
advanced by the Seller, subject to the Seller’s right to be reimbursed therefor
from the Custodial Account as provided in Subsection 11.05(v).
(c) Proceeds
received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as
any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in
the
following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Seller for any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances, pursuant to Subsection 11.05(iii); second,
to
accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final
Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date
on
which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final
Recovery Determination; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage
Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than
the
full amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the
amount
of such recovery will be allocated by the Seller as follows: first, to unpaid
Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing.
The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be
reimbursed to the Seller pursuant to Subsection 11.05(iii).
Subsection
11.04 Establishment
of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.
The
Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant
to
each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general
assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts, in
the
form of time deposit or demand accounts. The creation of any Custodial Account
shall be evidenced by a Custodial Account Letter Agreement in the form of
Exhibit 7.
-3-
The
Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, and retain
therein the following payments and collections received by it subsequent
to the
Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to
a
period subsequent thereto, other than in respect of principal and interest
on
the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date:
(i) all
payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans;
(iii) all
Liquidation Proceeds;
(iv) all
Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to
Subsections 11.10 and 11.11, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow
Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property
or
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Seller’s normal servicing
procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;
(v) all
Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released
to
the Mortgagor in accordance with the Seller’s normal servicing procedures, the
loan documents or applicable law;
(vi) all
proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased in accordance with Subsections
7.03
and 7.04 and all amounts required to be deposited by the Seller in connection
with shortfalls in principal amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
pursuant to Subsection 7.03;
(vii) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Seller pursuant to Subsection 11.11
in
connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy.
Such deposit shall be made from the Seller’s own funds, without reimbursement
therefor;
(viii) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Seller in connection with any REO
Property pursuant to Subsection 11.13; and
(ix) any
amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to
Subsections 11.19 or 11.20.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive,
it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption
fees,
to the extent permitted by Subsection 11.01, need not be deposited by the
Seller
in the Custodial Account. Such Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account.
Any interest or earnings on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the
depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Seller and the
Seller
shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial
Account pursuant to Subsection 11.05(iii). The Seller shall give notice to
the
Purchaser of the location of the Custodial Account when established and prior
to
any change thereof.
-4-
If
the
balance on deposit in the Custodial Account exceeds $75,000 as of the
commencement of business on any Business Day and the Custodial Account
constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition
of Eligible Account, the Seller shall, on or before twelve o’clock noon Eastern
time on such Business Day, withdraw from the Custodial Account any and all
amounts payable to the Purchaser and remit such amounts to the Purchaser
by wire
transfer of immediately available funds.
Subsection
11.05 Permitted
Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.
The
Seller may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the
following purposes:
(i) to
make
distributions to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided
for in
Subsection 11.14;
(ii) to
reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the Seller’s right to
reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (ii) with respect to any Mortgage
Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Seller
from
the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood
that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Seller’s right thereto shall be
prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the Seller is required
to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or Subsection
7.04,
the Seller’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to
the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to Subsection 7.03 or Subsection
7.04 and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect
to
such Mortgage Loans;
(iii) to
pay to
itself pursuant to Subsection 11.21 as servicing compensation (a) any interest
earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn
monthly not later than each Distribution Date), and (b) the Servicing Fee
from
that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest on a particular Mortgage
Loan;
(iv) to
pay to
itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased pursuant
to
Subsection 7.03 or Subsection 7.04 all amounts received thereon and not
distributed as of the date on which the related Repurchase Price is determined;
(v) to
pay,
or to reimburse the Seller for advances in respect of, expenses incurred
in
connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Subsection 11.03(b), but only
to
the extent of amounts received in respect of the Mortgage Loans to which
such
expense is attributable; and
(vi) to
clear
and terminate the Custodial Account on the termination of this
Agreement.
-5-
The
Seller shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by
Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
Custodial Account pursuant to such subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v)
above.
Subsection
11.06 Establishment
of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts.
The
Seller 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, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts. The creation
of
any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by Escrow Account Letter Agreement
in the
form of Exhibit 8.
The
Seller shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis,
and
retain therein, (i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage
Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required
under the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) all Insurance Proceeds which
are to
be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property. The Seller
shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such payments as are required
under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth
or in
accordance with Subsection 11.08. The Seller 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 Seller 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.
Subsection
11.07 Permitted
Withdrawals From Escrow Account.
Withdrawals
from the Escrow Account may be made by the Seller (i) to effect timely payments
of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, hazard insurance
premiums,
Primary
Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable,
and
comparable items, (ii) to reimburse the Seller for any Servicing Advance
made by
the Seller with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts
received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or
collections of Escrow Payments thereunder, (iii) to refund to the Mortgagor
any
funds as may be determined to be overages, (iv) for transfer to the Custodial
Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (v) for application
to
restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to the Seller,
or
to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the
funds
deposited in the Escrow Account, or (vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow
Account on the termination of this Agreement.
Subsection
11.08
|
Payment
of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance
of Primary Insur-ance Policies; Collections Thereunder.
|
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller 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
Insurance Policy premiums and fire
and
hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills
for the
payment of such charges, including insurance 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 Seller in amounts sufficient for such purposes,
as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage and applicable law. To the extent
that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Seller shall
determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they
first become due. The Seller 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.
-6-
The
Seller shall maintain in full force and effect, a Primary Insurance Policy,
issued by a Qualified Insurer, with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which
such
coverage is required. Such coverage shall be maintained until the Loan-to-Value
Ratio of the related Mortgage Loan is reduced to that amount for which FNMA
no
longer requires such insurance to be maintained. The Seller will not cancel
or
refuse to renew any Primary Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date
that
is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement
Primary Insurance Policy for such cancelled or non- renewed policy is obtained
from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Seller shall not take any
action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance
Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Seller, would have been
covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement
entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 11.19, the Seller
shall
promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Insurance Policy, if
any,
of such assumption or substi-tution of liability in accor-dance 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 Insurance
Policy. If such Primary Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such
assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller shall obtain a replace-ment
Primary Insurance Policy as provided above.
In
connection with its activities as servicer, the Seller agrees to prepare
and
present, on behalf of itself, and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under
any
Primary Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms
of
such policies and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary
to
permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted
Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Subsection 11.04, any amounts collected by the
Seller
under any Primary Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Subsection 11.05.
Subsection
11.09 Transfer
of Accounts.
The
Seller may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different
depository institution from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only
upon
obtaining the consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. In any case, the Custodial Account and Escrow Account shall be
Eligible Accounts.
Subsection
11.10 Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance.
-7-
The
Seller shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard
insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged
Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of
(i)
the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the
improvements which are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis
or
(ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (including any
cumulative related Negative Amortization), in each case in an amount not
less
than such amount as is necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee
from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified
on a Flood Hazard Boundary Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the
Flood
Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and such flood
insurance has been made available, the Seller will cause to be maintained
a
flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines
of the
Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier,
in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser of (i) the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or (ii) the maximum amount
of
insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968
or
the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Seller also shall
maintain on any REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage
in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable
value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the
amount
equal to the last known coverage of the related Mortgage Loan at the time
it
became an REO. Pursuant to Subsection 11.04, any amounts collected by the
Seller
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 the Seller’s normal
servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject
to
withdrawal pursuant to Subsection 11.05. Any cost incurred by the Seller
in
maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating
distributions to the Purchaser, be added to the unpaid principal balance
of the
related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan
so
permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional
insurance need be required by the Seller of the Mortgagor or maintained on
property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to
such
applicable 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 Seller, or upon request
to
the Purchaser, and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice
of any cancellation, reduction in the amount of, or material change in, coverage
to the Seller. The Seller shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of
choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however,
that the Seller shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance
companies unless such companies currently reflect a General Policy Rating
of
A:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide and are licensed to do business in the
state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.
Subsection
11.11 Maintenance
of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.
In
the
event that the Seller shall obtain and maintain a mortgage impairment or
blanket
policy issued by an issuer that has a Best rating of A:VI insuring against
hazard losses on all of Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans,
then,
to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount
required pursuant to Subsection 11.10 and otherwise complies with all other
requirements of Subsection 11.10, the Seller shall conclusively be deemed
to
have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Subsection 11.10, it being
understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in
which
case the Seller shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained
on
the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with
Subsection 11.10, and there shall have been one or more losses 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 Seller
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 Seller shall cause to be delivered to
the
Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and 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.
-8-
Subsection
11.12 Fidelity
Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.
The
Seller shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an
errors
and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies
that would meet the requirements of FNMA or FHLMC on all officers, employees
or
other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to
handle
funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The fidelity
bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the Mortgage
Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Seller against losses,
including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and
negligent acts of such persons. Such fidelity bond shall also protect and
insure
the Seller 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 Subsection 11.12 requiring
the fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve
the Seller 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 Servicing
Guide
or by FHLMC in the FHLMC Sellers’ and Servicers’ Guide. Upon request of the
Purchaser, the Seller shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified
true copy of the fidelity bond and insurance policy and 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.
Subsection
11.13 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 person designated by the Purchaser. 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
Seller shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Seller, manage,
conserve, protect and operate each REO Property (and may temporarily rent
the
same) 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. If a REMIC
election is or is to be made with respect to the arrangement under which
the
Mortgage Loans and any REO Property are held, the Seller shall manage, conserve,
protect and operate each REO Property in a manner which does not cause such
REO
Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by such REMIC of
any
“income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B)
of the Code or any “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of
Section 860G(c)(2) of the Code. The Seller 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 annually thereafter. The Seller 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
Seller to the Purchaser. The Seller 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
Seller determines, and gives appropriate notice to the Purchaser, that a
longer
period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If
a
period longer than one year is necessary to sell any REO property, (i) the
Seller shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made
in
selling such REO Property and (ii) if, with the written consent of the
Purchaser, a purchase money mortgage is taken in connection with such sale,
such
purchase money mortgage shall name the Seller as mortgagee, and a separate
servicing agreement between the Seller and the Purchaser shall be entered
into
with respect to such purchase money mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if
a REMIC election is made with respect to the arrangement under which the
Mortgage Loans and the REO Property are held, such REO Property shall be
disposed of within two years or such other period as may be permitted under
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.
-9-
With
respect to each REO Property, the Seller shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of the REO Property
separate and apart from its own funds or general assets and shall establish
and
maintain a separate REO Account for each REO Property in the form of a
non-interest bearing demand account, unless an Opinion of Counsel is obtained
by
the Seller to the effect that the classification as a grantor trust or REMIC
for
federal income tax purposes of the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans
and the REO Property is held will not be adversely affected by holding such
funds in another manner. Each REO Account shall be established with the Seller
or, with the prior consent of the Purchaser, with a commercial bank, a mutual
savings bank or a savings association. The creation of any REO Account shall
be
evidenced by a letter agreement substantially in the form of the Custodial
Account Letter Agreement attached as Exhibit 7 hereto. An original of such
letter agreement shall be furnished to any Purchaser upon request.
The
Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in each REO
Account all revenues received with respect to the related REO Property and
shall
withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and
maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard
insurance pursuant to Subsection 11.10 hereof and the fees of any managing
agent
acting on behalf of the Seller. The Seller shall not be entitled to retain
interest paid or other earnings, if any, on funds deposited in such REO Account.
On or before each Determination Date, the Seller shall withdraw from each
REO
Account and deposit into the Custodial Account the net income from the REO
Property on deposit in the REO Account.
The
Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser on each Distribution Date, an operating
statement for each REO Property covering the operation of each REO Property
for
the previous month. Together with such statement, the Seller shall furnish
to
the Purchaser a statement covering the Seller’s efforts in connection with the
sale of such REO Property and any rental of such REO Property incidental
to the
sale thereof for the previous month. Such operating statement shall be
accompanied by such other information as the Purchaser shall reasonably
request.
Each
REO
Disposition shall be carried out by the Seller at such price and upon such
terms
and conditions as the Seller deems to be in the best interest of the Purchaser
only with the prior written consent of the Purchaser. If as of the date title
to
any REO Property was acquired by the Seller there were outstanding unreimbursed
Servicing Advances with respect to the REO Property, the Seller, upon an
REO
Disposition of such REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for
any
related unreimbursed Servicing Advances from proceeds received in connection
with such REO Disposition. The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of
any
payment to the Seller as provided above, shall be deposited in the REO Account
and shall be transferred to the Custodial Account on the Determination Date
in
the month following receipt thereof for distribution on the succeeding
Distribution Date in accordance with Subsection 11.14.
-10-
Subsection
11.14 Distributions.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Seller shall distribute to the Purchaser all amounts
credited to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the preceding
Determination Date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial
Account pursuant to Subsection 11.05.
All
distributions made to the Purchaser on each Distribution Date will be made
to
the Purchaser of record on the preceding Record Date, and shall be based
on the
Mortgage Loans owned and held by the Purchaser, and shall be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Purchaser at
a
bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if the Purchaser
shall have so notified the Seller or by check mailed to the address of the
Purchaser.
With
respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser on or after the second
Business Day following the Business Day on which such payment was due, the
Seller shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an
annual
rate equal to the rate of interest as is publicly announced from time to
time at
its principal office by JPMorgan Chase Bank, New York, New York, as its prime
lending rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus two percentage
points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable
law. Such interest shall be paid by the Seller to the Purchaser on the date
such
late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day
following such second Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which
such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along
with
such late payment. The payment by the Seller of any such interest shall not
be
deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default
by
the Seller.
Subsection
11.15 Remittance
Reports.
No
later
than the fifth Business Day of each month, the Seller shall furnish to the
Purchaser or its designee a computer tape or other electronic file containing,
and a hard copy upon request of, the monthly data. On the Business Day following
each Determination Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser or its
designee by telecopy (or by such other means as the Seller and the Purchaser
may
agree from time to time) a computer tape or other electronic file containing,
and a hard copy upon request of, the determination data with respect to the
related Distribution Date, together with such other information with respect
to
the Mortgage Loans as the Purchaser may reasonably require to allocate
distributions made pursuant to this Agreement and provide appropriate statements
with respect to such distributions. On the same date, the Seller shall forward
to the Purchaser by overnight mail a computer readable magnetic tape containing
the information set forth in the Remittance Report with respect to the related
Distribution Date.
-11-
Subsection
11.16 Statements
to the Purchaser.
Upon
request, the Seller shall forward to the Purchaser or its designee a statement
prepared by the Seller setting forth the status of the Custodial Account
at the
end of the monthly cycle and showing, for the period covered by such statement,
the aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from the Custodial
Account
of each category of deposit specified in Subsection 11.04 and each category
of
withdrawal specified in Subsection 11.05.
The
Seller shall prepare and file any and all tax returns, information statements
or
other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority
or
to any Purchaser pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Seller shall
provide the Purchaser with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans
as is
necessary for the Purchaser to prepare its federal income tax return as any
Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time.
Subsection
11.17 Real
Estate Owned Reports.
Together
with the statement furnished pursuant to Subsection 11.13, with respect to
any
REO Property, the Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser a statement covering
the
Seller’s efforts in connection with the sale of such REO Property and any rental
of such REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous month,
together with the operating statement. Such statement shall be accompanied
by
such other information as the Purchaser shall reasonably request.
Subsection
11.18 Liquidation
Reports.
Upon
the
foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by
the
Purchaser pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Seller shall submit
to
the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged
Property.
Subsection
11.19 Assumption
Agreements.
The
Seller shall, 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 applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Seller shall not exercise
any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so
or if
the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery
under the related Primary Insurance Policy, if any.
If the
Seller reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such
“due-on-sale” clause, the Seller shall 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 Subsection
11.19, the Seller, with
the
prior written consent of the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy,
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.
-12-
In
connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller
shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of prudent mortgage
lenders in the state in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.
With
respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, Mortgage Interest
Rate,
the amount of the Monthly Payment, and the final maturity date of such Mortgage
Note may not be changed. The Seller 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. Any fee collected by the Seller for entering into an assumption
or
substitution of liability agreement in excess of 1% of the outstanding principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account
pursuant to Subsection 11.04.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraphs of this Subsection or any other provision of this
Agreement, the Seller 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 Seller may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever. For purposes of this Subsection 11.19, 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.
Subsection
11.20 Satisfaction
of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Seller of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary
for
such purposes, the Seller shall request execution of any document necessary
to
satisfy the Mortgage Loan and delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage
File
held by the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee. Upon receipt of such
certification and request, the Purchaser, shall promptly release the related
mortgage documents to the Seller and the Seller shall prepare and process
any
satisfaction or release. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument
of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial
Account or the Purchaser.
In
the
event the Seller 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 Seller, upon written demand, shall remit to the Purchaser
the
then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit
thereof in the Custodial Account. The Seller shall maintain the fidelity
bond
insuring the Seller 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 this purpose collection under any Primary Insurance Policy,
the
Purchaser shall, upon request of the Seller and delivery to the Purchaser
of a
servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the requested portion
of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser to the Seller. Such servicing
receipt
shall obligate the Seller to return the related Mortgage documents to the
Purchaser when the need therefor by the Seller 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 Seller 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 Seller.
-13-
Subsection
11.21 Servicing
Compensation.
As
compensation for its services hereunder, the Seller shall be entitled to
withdraw from the Custodial Account or to retain from interest payments on
the
Mortgage Loans the amounts provided for as the Seller’s Servicing Fee.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided
in
Subsection 11.19, and late payment charges and similar ancillary servicing
compensation shall be retained by the Seller to the extent not required to
be
deposited in the Custodial Account. The Seller 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.
Subsection
11.22 Notification
of Adjustments.
On
each
Adjustment Date, the Seller shall make interest rate adjustments for each
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan in compliance with the requirements of the
related
Mortgage and Mortgage Note. The Seller shall execute and deliver the notices
required by each Mortgage and Mortgage Note regarding interest rate adjustments.
The Seller also shall provide timely notification to the Purchaser of all
applicable data and information regarding such interest rate adjustments
and the
Seller’s methods of implementing such interest rate adjustments. Upon the
discovery by the Seller or the Purchaser that the Seller has failed to adjust
a
Mortgage Interest Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the
related
Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Seller shall immediately deposit in the
Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused
thereby without reimbursement therefor.
Subsection
11.23 Statement
as to Compliance.
(a)
The
Seller will deliver to the Purchaser not later than 75 days following the
end of
each fiscal year of the Seller, which as of the Closing Date ends on the
last
day in December in each calendar year, an Officers’ Certificate stating, as to
each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Seller
during
the preceding 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 Seller 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
officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of such statement shall
be
provided by the Purchaser to any Person identified as a prospective purchaser
of
the Mortgage Loans.
-14-
(b)With
respect to any Loans that are subject to a Pass-Through Transfer or other
securitization transaction, by February 28 of each year (or if not a Business
Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), or at any other time upon thirty
(30) days written request, an officer of the Seller shall execute and deliver
an
Officer’s Certificate to the Purchaser, any master servicer which is master
servicing loans in connection with such transaction (a “Master Servicer”) and
any related depositor (a “Depositor”) for the benefit of each such entity and
such entity’s affiliates and the officers, directors and agents of any such
entity and such entity’s affiliates, an Officer’s Certificate in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit 12.
(c)
The
Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, the Depositor,
the
Purchaser (and if this Agreement has been assigned in whole or in part by
the
Purchaser, any and all Persons previously acting as “Purchaser” hereunder), and
their respective officers, directors, agents and affiliates, and such
affiliates’ officers, directors and agents (any such person, an “Indemnified
Party”) from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses
arising out of or based upon a breach by the Seller or any of its officers,
directors, agents or affiliates of its obligations under this Section 11.23
or
Section 11.24, or the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the
Seller
in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then
the
Seller agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities
of
the Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Seller in
the
other in connection with a breach of the Seller’s obligations under this Section
11.23 or Section 11.24, or the Seller’s negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct in connection therewith.
Subsection
11.24 Independent
Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.
Not
later
than 75 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Seller, the Seller
at
its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants (which may
also
render other services to the Seller) which is a member of the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Purchaser or
its
designee to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and
records
relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement or of
mortgage loans under pooling and servicing agreements (including the Mortgage
Loans and this Agreement) substantially similar one to another (such statement
to have attached thereto a schedule setting forth the pooling and servicing
agreements covered thereby) and that, on the basis of such examination conducted
substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers, such firm confirms that such servicing has been conducted
in
compliance with such pooling and servicing agreements except for such
significant exceptions or errors in records that, in the opinion of such
firm,
the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers requires it to
report. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Purchaser to any
Person identified as a prospective purchaser of the Mortgage
Loans.
-15-
Subsection
11.25 Access
to Certain Documentation.
The
Seller shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and any
other
federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise
authority over the Purchaser access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage
Loans serviced by the Seller required by applicable laws and regulations.
Such
access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request
and
during normal business hours at the offices of the Seller. In addition, access
to the documentation will be provided to the Purchaser and any Person identified
to the Seller by the Purchaser without charge, upon reasonable request during
normal business hours at the offices of the Seller.
Subsection
11.26 Reports
and Returns to be Filed by the Seller.
The
Seller shall file information reports with respect to the receipt of mortgage
interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and
abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and information returns relating to
cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property
as
required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code. Such reports shall
be
in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed
by
such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
Indemnification
Agreement dated as of _________ __, 200__ (the “Agreement”) between
________________ (“Company”) and _____________________ (the
“Depositor”).
Reference
is made to the issuance of ____________________, Series ________, Asset-Backed
Certificates (the “Certificates”), pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of _______________ (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”),
among the Depositor as depositor, _________________ as master servicer and
_____________________ as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Depositor will sell
certain of the Certificates to _______________ (the “Underwriter”) for offer and
sale pursuant to the terms of an Underwriting Agreement, dated ______________,
____ (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between the Depositor and the Underwriter.
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set
forth
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Reference
is also made to the information provided by ____________ contained in the
Prospectus Supplement, including any supplement or amendment thereto, under
the
caption, “The Originators—______________” and “__________” (the “Company
Information”).
1. (a)
Company
(also referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Depositor and each of its directors and officers and
affiliates and each person, if any, who controls the Depositor within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act
(the “Indemnified Party”) and not any assignee thereof, against any and all
actual losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Depositor
or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under
the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages
or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon
(x)
any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Company Information
or omission to state therein, a material fact required to be stated therein
or
necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances
under which such statements were made, not misleading (in each case, regardless
of whether a final judgment has been entered by a finder of fact) or (y)
any
material misstatement or omission contained in the Prospectus Supplement
regarding information or statistics therein regarding the Mortgage Loans
based
on information correctly derived by the Depositor or its affiliates and included
in the Prospectus Supplement from information actually provided to the Depositor
or its affiliates by Company; and will reimburse any such reasonable legal
or
other expenses reasonably incurred by the Depositor or any such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending
any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will
be
in addition to any liability which Company may otherwise have.
(b) Promptly
after receipt by the Indemnified Party under this Section 1 of notice of
the
commencement of any action described therein, the Indemnified Party will,
if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnifying Party under
this
Section 1, notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, but
the
omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying
Party from any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party (a) under
this Agreement except to the extent that the omission to notify the Indemnifying
Party with respect to this Agreement materially adversely affects the
Indemnifying Party’s ability to perform under this Agreement or (b) otherwise
than under this Agreement. In case any such action is brought against the
Indemnified Party, and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement
thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein,
and, to
the extent that it may wish to do so, jointly with any other Indemnifying
Party
similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party (who shall not, except with the consent
of
the Indemnified Party, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party), and, after
notice
from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party under this Section 1,
the
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.
-6-
The
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any
such
action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of
such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless: (i)
the
employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party
in
writing; (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by such counsel
that
there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different
from
or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party and in the reasonable
judgment of such counsel it is advisable for the Indemnified Party to employ
separate counsel; (iii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on
advice
of counsel to the Indemnified Party) between the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party will not have the
right
to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party)
or (iv)
the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of such action and
employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in which
case,
if the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that
it
elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party,
the
Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
action
on behalf of the Indemnified Party, it being understood, however, the
Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate
but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising
out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys
(in
addition to local counsel) at any time for the Indemnified Party, which firm
shall be designated in writing by the Depositor or any of the Depositor’s
directors, officers or controlling persons.
The
Indemnified Party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements contained in
Section 1(a) and Section 1(b), shall use its best efforts to cooperate with
the
Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such action or claim. The Indemnifying
Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected
without
its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but
if
settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the
plaintiff in any such action, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify
and
hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability
(to
the extent set forth in Section 1(a) or Section 1(b) as applicable) by reason
of
such settlement or judgment.

2. All
demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall

No
Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product
offered by the Mortgage Loan's originator which is a higher cost
product
designed for less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the
Mortgage Loan's origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking
into
account credit history and debt to income ratios for a lower cost
credit
product then offered by the Mortgage Loan's originator or any affiliate
of
the Mortgage Loan's originator. If, at the time of loan application,
the
Mortgagor may have qualified for a lower cost credit product then
offered
by any mortgage lending affiliate of the Mortgage Loan's originator,
the
Mortgage Loan's originator referred the Mortgagor's application to
such
affiliate for underwriting consideration. With respect to any Mortgage
Loan, the Mortgagor was assigned the highest credit grade available
with
respect to a mortgage loan product offered by such Mortgage Loan’s
originator, based on a comprehensive assessment of risk factors,
including
the Mortgagor’s credit history.

2.
|
With
respect to any Mortgage Loan which is secured by manufactured housing,
if
such Mortgage Loans are permitted hereunder, such Mortgage Loan satisfies
the requirements for inclusion in residential mortgage backed securities
transactions rated by S&P and such manufactured housing is the
principal residence of the Mortgagor at the time of the origination
of the
Mortgage Loan.

No
Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost Home Mortgage Loan” as defined in the
Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act, effective November
7,
2004 (Mass. Xxx. Laws Ch. 183C). No Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged
Property located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts was made to
pay off
or refinance an existing loan or other debt of the related borrower
(as
the term “borrower” is defined in the regulations promulgated by the
Massachusetts Secretary of State in connection with Massachusetts
House
Xxxx 4880 (2004)) unless either (1) (a) the related Mortgage Interest
Rate
(that would be effective once the introductory rate expires, with
respect
to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans) did or would not exceed by more
than
2.25% the yield on United States Treasury securities having comparable
periods of maturity to the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan
as of the
fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the month in which
the
application for the extension of credit was received by the related
lender
or (b) the Mortgage Loan is an “open-end home loan” (as such term is used
in the Massachusetts House Xxxx 4880 (2004)) and the related Mortgage
Note
provides that the related Mortgage Interest Rate may not exceed at
any
time the Prime rate index as published in The Wall Street Journal
plus a
margin of one percent, or (2) such Mortgage Loan is in the "borrower's
interest," as documented by a "borrower's interest worksheet" for
the
particular Mortgage Loan, which worksheet incorporates the factors
set
forth in Massachusetts House Xxxx 4880 (2004) and the regulations
promulgated thereunder for determining "borrower's interest," and
otherwise complies in all material respects with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts
