(g) The
Seller has not used selection procedures that identified the Mortgage Loans

for
reporting and accounting purposes and, to the extent appropriate, for federal

Section
3.02. Representations
and Warranties as to Individual Mortgage Loans.
The
Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as to each Mortgage
Loan, as of the related Closing Date as follows:
(a) The
information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including any diskette
or
other related data tapes delivered to the Purchaser, is complete, true and
correct in all material respects as of the related Cut-off Date;
(b) With
respect to a First Lien Loan that is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage creates
a
first lien or a first priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple
in
real property securing the related Mortgage Note. With respect to a
First Lien Loan that is a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage creates a first lien or
a
first priority ownership interest in the stock ownership and leasehold rights
associated with the cooperative unit securing the related Mortgage
Note;
(c) With
respect to a Second Lien Loan that is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage creates
a
second lien or a second priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple
in real property securing the related Mortgage Note. With respect to
a Second Lien Loan that is a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage creates a second lien
or a
second priority ownership interest in the stock ownership and leasehold rights
associated with the cooperative unit securing the related Mortgage
Note;
(d) All
payments due on or prior to the related Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan
have
been made as of the related Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan is not delinquent
thirty (30) days or more in payment and has not been dishonored; there are
no material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan; 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 Mortgaged Property subject to the
Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by
the
Mortgage Loan; as to each Mortgage Loan, there has been no more than one thirty
(30) day delinquency during the immediately preceding twelve-month
period;
22
(e) All
taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal
charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and
owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount
sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which
has been assessed but is not yet due and payable;
(f) The
terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived,
altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have
been recorded to the extent any such recordation is required by law, or,
necessary to protect the interest of the Purchaser. No instrument of
waiver, alteration or modification has been executed in connection with such
Mortgage Loan, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from
the
terms thereof except in connection with an assumption agreement and which
assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are
reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule; the substance of any such waiver,
alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and title insurance policy, to the extent
required by the related policies;
(g) The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense
of
usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note
or
Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury,
and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been
asserted with respect thereto;
(h) All
buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property
are insured by an insurer acceptable under the Xxxxxx Mae Guides, against loss
by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided
for
in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides or by Xxxxxxx Mac, as well as all additional
requirements set forth in Section 4.09 of this Agreement. All
such standard hazard policies are in full force and effect and on the date
of
origination contained a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its
successors in interest and assigns as loss payee and such clause is still in
effect and all premiums due thereon have been paid. If required by
the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Mortgage Loan is
covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current
guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration which policy conforms to
Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac requirements, as well as all additional requirements
set forth in Section 4.09 of this Agreement. Such policy was
issued by an insurer acceptable under Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac
guidelines. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to
maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and upon the
Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain
such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement
therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by state law or
regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier
of
the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or
“blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard
insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit
development. The
23
hazard
insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in
full
force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit
of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this
Agreement. The Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the
Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the
coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for
herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without
limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation
or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by
any
attorney, firm or other Person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been
received, retained or realized by the Seller;
(i) Any
and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without
limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer
credit protection, equal credit opportunity, disclosure, predatory, fair lending
or abusive lending laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied
with,
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the
violation of any such laws or regulations, and the Seller shall maintain in
its
possession, available for the Purchaser’s inspection, and shall deliver to the
Purchaser upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such
requirements;
(j) The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated, in whole or in part,
or rescinded, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien
of
the Mortgage, in whole or in part nor has any instrument been executed that
would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or
rescission. The Seller has not waived the performance by the
Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would
cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Seller waived any default
resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;
(k) With
respect to any First Lien Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid, subsisting,
enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property and, with respect
to any Second Lien Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid, subsisting,
enforceable and perfected second lien on the Mortgaged Property, including
for
Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans, all buildings on the Mortgaged Property
and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air
conditioning systems affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations
and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing securing the
Mortgage Note’s original principal balance. The Mortgage and the
Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other
interest or right thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse
claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first or second lien,
as
applicable, of the Mortgage subject only to (1) with respect to any Second
Lien Loan, the related First Lien Loan, (2) the lien of non-delinquent
current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable,
(3) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and
other matters of the public record as of the date of recording which are
acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either (A) which
are referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator
of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the appraised
value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, and
(4) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which
do
24
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 (1) with respect to any First Lien Loan, a
valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority
security interest and (2) with respect to any Second Lien Loan, a valid,
subsisting, enforceable and perfected second lien and second priority security
interest, in each case, on the property described therein, and the Seller has
the full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser;
(l) The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each is
the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in all
respects in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited
by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general
application affecting the rights of creditors generally and the equitable remedy
of specific performance and by general equitable principles. All
parties to the Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage had the legal capacity
to
enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and
the related Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage have
been duly and properly executed by such parties. No fraud, error,
omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect
to a
Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of Seller, the Mortgagor or any other
party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan. The proceeds
of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement
for
future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of
any
on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds
therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses
incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the
Mortgage were paid and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any
amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or related Mortgage;
(m) The
Seller or its Affiliate (or with respect to MERS Mortgage Loans, MERS on behalf
of the Seller or its Affiliate) is the sole owner of record and holder of the
Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note, and upon
recordation the Purchaser or its designee will be the owner of record of the
Mortgage and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note, and upon the
sale
of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser, the Seller will retain the Servicing
File
in trust for the Purchaser only for the purpose of servicing and supervising
the
servicing of the Mortgage Loans during the related Interim Servicing
Period. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the
Purchaser on the related Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage
Note and the Mortgage, were not subject to an assignment or pledge, and the
Seller had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof and
had
full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and
clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security
interest and has the full right and authority subject to no interest or
participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of the Mortgage
Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any
encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or
security interest. The Seller intends to relinquish all rights to
possess, control and monitor the
25
Mortgage
Loan, except for the purposes of servicing the Mortgage Loan as set forth in
this Agreement. After the related Closing Date, the Seller will have
no right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loan and
the
Seller will have no obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage Loan or
substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this
Agreement;
(n) Each
Mortgage Loan that is not a Co-op Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title
insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance
acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable
to
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction
where
the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained
in (k)(1), (2), (3) and (4) above) the Seller, its successors and assigns,
as to
the first or second priority lien, as applicable, of the Mortgage in the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. Where required by
applicable state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity
to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. The
Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title
insurance policy, such title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed
to the Purchaser or the assignment to the Purchaser of the Seller’s interest
therein does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer and
such
lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full
force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this
Agreement and the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter. 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, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback
or
other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received,
retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person or entity, and no
such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the
Seller;
(o) There
is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the
Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage
of
time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would
constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration; and
neither the Seller nor, to the Seller’s knowledge, any prior mortgagee has
waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting
acceleration. With respect to each Second Lien Loan, (i) the
First Lien Loan is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under such prior mortgage
or
the related mortgage note, (iii) 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 thereunder, and either
(A) the prior mortgage contains a provision which allows or
(B) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the Second Lien Loan to
receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default
by payment in full or otherwise under the prior mortgage;
(p) There
are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work,
labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give
rise
to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be
liens prior to or
26
equal
to
the lien of the related Mortgage, which are not insured against by the title
insurance policy referenced in paragraph (n) above;
(q) All
improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries
and
building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the
project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured
against by the title insurance policy referred to in clause (n) above and
all improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and
subdivision laws and ordinances;
(r) The
Mortgage Loan was originated by or for the Seller. The Mortgage Loan
complies with the terms, conditions and requirements of the Underwriting
Standards in all material respects. The Mortgage Notes and Mortgages
(exclusive of any riders) are on forms generally acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or
Xxxxxxx Mac. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage
Interest Rate set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and Monthly
Payments under the Mortgage Note are due and payable on the first day of each
month. The Mortgage contains the usual and enforceable provisions of
the originator at the time of origination for the acceleration of the payment
of
the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged
Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the
mortgagee thereunder;
(s) The
Mortgaged Property at origination of the related Mortgage Loan was and, to
the
Seller’s knowledge, currently is free of material damage and
waste. At origination of the Mortgage Loan there was, and there
currently is, no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of
the
Mortgaged Property;
(t) The
related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render
the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization
against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided
thereby. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and
foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the
proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver
good
and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no
homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere
with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right
to foreclose the Mortgage subject to applicable federal and state laws and
judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and right of
redemption;
(u) If
the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly
qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has been properly
designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees
or
expenses, except as may be required by local law, are or will become payable
by
the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection
with
a trustee’s sale or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(v) The
Mortgage File contains an appraisal (or other valuation method as indicated
on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and otherwise acceptable to
Fannie
27
Mae
or
Xxxxxxx Mac for mortgage loans that have “DU” underwriter or loan prospector
approval, respectively) of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the
final approval of the mortgage loan application by a Qualified
Appraiser. The appraisal is in a form acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac;
(w) All
parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee,
assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held
and disposed of such interest, were) (A) in compliance with any and all
applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged
Property is located, and (B) (1) organized under the laws of such state, or
(2) qualified to do business in such state, or (3) federal savings and
loan associations or national banks or a Federal Home Loan Bank or savings
bank
having principal offices in such state, or (4) not doing business in such
state;
(x) The
related Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except
the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any
applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in clause (k)
above and such collateral does not serve as security for any other
obligation;
(y) The
Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments
are
paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established
by the Seller or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other
than the Mortgagor nor does it contain any other similar provisions which may
constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a
graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared
appreciation or other contingent interest feature;
(z) The
Mortgagor was not in bankruptcy or insolvent as of the date of origination
of
the Mortgage Loan and, to the Seller’s knowledge, is not in bankruptcy or
insolvent as of the related Closing Date;
(aa) Each
Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan has an original term to maturity of not more than
thirty (30) years, with interest calculated and payable in arrears on the
first day of each month in equal monthly installments of principal and
interest. Except with respect to Interest Only Mortgage Loans, each
Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient to fully amortize
the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity
date, over an original term of not more than thirty (30) years and to pay
interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate; provided, however, in the case
of an Interest Only Mortgage Loan, after the interest-only period, payments
will
be sufficient to amortize with respect to the life of the Mortgage
Loan. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would
result in negative amortization. No Mortgage Loan is a Balloon
Mortgage Loan;
(bb) If
a Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than 80%, the portion of the principal
balance of such Mortgage Loan in excess of the portion of the Appraisal Value
of
the Mortgaged Property required by Xxxxxx Xxx, is and will be insured as to
payment defaults by a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified
Insurer. All
28
provisions
of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy have been and are being complied
with,
such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have
been paid. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of
facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or
defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection
therewith. The mortgage interest rate for the Mortgage Loan as set
forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance
premium;
(cc) The
Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording
under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is
located;
(dd) As
to Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans and that are not secured by an
interest in a leasehold estate, the Mortgaged Property is located in the state
identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel
of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or
a
townhouse, or a two-to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit
in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development
or
a de minimis planned unit development, provided, however, that
no residence or dwelling is a mobile home, log home, geodesic dome or other
unique property type. As of the date of origination, no portion of
the Mortgaged Property was used for commercial purposes, and, since the date
of
origination no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial
purposes, except as permitted under the Underwriting Standards. In
the case of any Mortgaged Properties that are manufactured homes (a
“Manufactured Home Mortgage Loan”), (i) such Manufactured Home Mortgage
Loan conforms with the applicable Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements
regarding mortgage loans related to manufactured dwellings, (ii) the
related manufactured dwelling is permanently affixed to the land, (iii) the
related manufactured dwelling and the related land are subject to a Mortgage

unemployment or health insurance) in connection with the origination of the
Mortgage Loan. No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to
purchase single premium credit insurance policies or debt cancellation
agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such
Mortgage Loan:
(fff) The
origination and servicing practices with respect to each Mortgage Note and
Mortgage have been legal and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations,
and in all material respects proper and prudent in the mortgage origination
and
servicing business. With respect to escrow deposits and payments that
the Seller is entitled to collect, all such payments are in the possession
of,
or under the control of, the Seller, and there exist no deficiencies in

been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage,
and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest
rate
and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the
consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority
by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the
Mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to
Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac. The consolidated principal amount does
not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;
(jjj) There
is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation
of
the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste,
fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty
so
33
as
to
affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the

knowledge of any such proceedings in the future;

“construct-to-perm” loan) or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or

(lll)
If applicable, with respect to each Mortgage, the Seller has within the last
twelve months (unless such Mortgage was originated within such twelve month
period) analyzed the required Escrow Payments for each Mortgage and adjusted
the
amount of such payments so that, assuming all required payments are timely
made,
any deficiency will be eliminated on or before the first anniversary of such
analysis, or any overage will be refunded to the Mortgagor, in accordance with
RESPA and any other applicable law;
(mmm) As
to each consumer report (as defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Public
Law
91-508) or other credit information furnished by the Seller to the Purchaser,
the Seller has full right and authority and is not precluded by law or contract
from furnishing such information to the Purchaser and the Purchaser is not
precluded from furnishing the same to any subsequent or prospective purchaser
of
such Mortgage. The Seller has and, to the extent required during the
related Interim Servicing Period, shall in its capacity as interim servicer,
for
each Mortgage Loan, fully furnished, in accordance with the Fair Credit
Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete
information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files
to
Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company (three of the
credit repositories), on a monthly basis;
(nnn) If
the Mortgage Loan is secured by a leasehold estate, (1) the ground lease is
assignable or transferable; (2) the ground lease will not terminate earlier
than five years after the maturity date of the Mortgage Loan; (3) the
ground lease does not provide for termination of the lease in the event of
lessee’s default without the Mortgagee being entitled to receive written notice
of, and a reasonable opportunity to cure the default; (4) the ground lease
permits the mortgaging of the related Mortgaged Property; (5) the ground
lease protects the Mortgagee’s interests in the event of a property
condemnation; (6) all ground lease rents, other payments, or assessments
that have become due have been paid; and (7) the use of leasehold estates
for residential properties is a widely accepted practice in the jurisdiction
in
which the Mortgaged Property is located;
(ooo) Each
Mortgage Loan is covered by a paid in full, life of loan, tax service contract
issued by First American Real Estate Tax Service, and such contract is
transferable;
(ppp) The
Seller’s decision to originate any mortgage loan or to deny any mortgage loan
application is an independent decision based upon Seller’s
underwriting
34
guidelines,
and is in no way made as a result of Purchaser’s decision to purchase, or not to
purchase, or the price Purchaser may offer to pay for, any such mortgage loan,
if originated;
(qqq) Each
original Mortgage was recorded and all subsequent assignments of the original
Mortgage (other than the assignment to the Purchaser and any Mortgage Loan
for
which the related Mortgage has been recorded in the name of MERS) have been
recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is necessary
to perfect the lien thereof as against creditors of the Seller, or is in the
process of being recorded;
(rrr) On
or prior to the related Closing Date, the Mortgagor has not filed a bankruptcy
petition or has not become the subject of involuntary bankruptcy proceedings
or
has not consented to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it or to
a
receiver being appointed in respect of the related Mortgaged
Property;
(sss) No
Mortgagor with respect to any Mortgage Loan originated on or after
August 1, 2004 is required under the Mortgage or Mortgage Note to submit to
arbitration to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to
the
mortgage loan transaction;
(ttt) The
Seller has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws, executive
orders and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of
2001;
(uuu) The
Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents
required to be delivered with respect to each Mortgage Loan pursuant to
Section 2.06 of this Agreement shall be delivered to the Purchaser or its
designee all in compliance with the specific requirements of
Section 2.06. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller
will be in possession of a complete Mortgage File in compliance with
Exhibit A-1 hereto, except for such documents as will be delivered
to the Purchaser or its designee;
(vvv) With
respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Minimum Mortgage Interest
Rate is the related Gross Margin;
(www) The
Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect to
the
related Mortgage, Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor, Mortgage File or the related
Mortgagor’s credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private
institutional investors that invest in prime mortgage loans similar to the
Mortgage Loan to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable
investment;
(xxx) With
respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgagor was offered mortgage loan products
suitable for such Mortgagor and not designed for less creditworthy
borrowers;
(yyy) The
methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage
Loan
employs objective criteria which relate the Mortgagor’s income, assets and
liabilities (except in the case of loan programs which do not require the
Mortgagor to
35
report
the Mortgagor’s income or assets, such as “no income, no assets” lending
programs or which rely on the Mortgagor’s representation of the Mortgagor’s
income, such as “stated income” lending programs) to the proposed payment and
such underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s
equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such
credit extension. Such underwriting methodology determined that at
the time of origination (application/approval) the Mortgagor had the reasonable
ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan; and
(zzz) No
Mortgagor was charged Points and Fees, whether or not amortized or financed,
greater than 5% of the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan. For
purposes of this representation, such 5% limitation is calculated in accordance
with Xxxxxx Mae’s anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in the Xxxxxx
Mae Guides and Points and Fees (x) include origination, underwriting, broker
and
finder fees and charges that the Mortgagee imposed as a condition of making
the
Mortgage Loan, whether they are paid to the Mortgagee or a third party, and
(y)
exclude bona fide discount points, fees paid for actual services rendered in
connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan (such as attorneys’ fees,
notaries fees and fees paid for property appraisals, credit reports, surveys,
title examinations and extracts, flood and tax certifications, and home
inspections), the cost of mortgage insurance or credit-risk price adjustments,
the costs of title, hazard, and flood insurance policies, state and local
transfer taxes or fees, escrow deposits for the future payment of taxes and
insurance premiums, and other miscellaneous fees and charges which miscellaneous
fees and charges, in total, do not exceed 0.25% of the principal amount of
such
Mortgage Loan (collectively, “Points and Fees”). All fees and charges
(including finance charges) and whether or not financed, assessed, collected
or
to be collected in connection with the origination and servicing of each
Mortgage Loan has been disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance
with
applicable state and federal law and regulation.
Section
3.03. Repurchase;
Substitution.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery
of the Mortgage File to the Purchaser, or its designee, and shall inure to
the
benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified
endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination,
or lack of examination, of any Mortgage Loan Document. Upon discovery
by 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 in any Mortgage Loan,
the
party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the
others. The Seller shall have a period of ninety (90) days from the
earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach within
which to correct or cure such breach. The Seller hereby covenants and
agrees that (except as provided in the previous sentence with respect to certain
breaches for which no substitution is permitted) if any such breach is not
corrected or cured within such ninety (90) day period, the Seller shall, at
the
Purchaser’s option, either repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price
or substitute a mortgage loan for the Defective Mortgage Loan as provided
below. In the event that any such breach shall involve any
representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01, and such breach
is
36
not
cured
within ninety (90) of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller
of such breach, all affected Mortgage Loans shall, at the option of the
Purchaser, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase Price. Any
such repurchase shall be accomplished by remitting the Purchaser the amount
of
the Repurchase Price.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraph, any breach of any representation
or warranty set forth in any of clause (i), (dd), (ff), (tt), (ddd),
(eee), (mmm), (sss), (xxx), (yyy) or (zzz) of Section 3.02 shall
automatically be deemed to have had a material and adverse effect on the
Purchaser. With respect to each such affected Mortgage Loan, the
Seller shall, within sixty (60) days after the earlier of either discovery
by,
or notice to, the Seller of such breach, repurchase such Mortgage
Loan at the Repurchase Price.
If
pursuant to the foregoing provisions the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan
that
is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller, or if such repurchase occurs after the
related Servicing Transfer Date, the Purchaser, shall either (i) cause MERS
to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to
transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage
to
be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules
and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the
Seller as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
If
the
Seller is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this
Section 3.03 as a result of a breach of any of the representations and
warranties set forth in Section 3.02, the Seller may, with the Purchaser’s
prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, within
180 days from the related Closing Date, remove such defective Mortgage Loan
from the terms of this Agreement and substitute another mortgage loan for such
defective Mortgage Loan, in lieu of repurchasing such defective Mortgage
Loan. Any substitute Mortgage Loan shall (a) have a principal
balance at the time of substitution not in excess of the principal balance
of
the defective Mortgage Loan (the amount of any difference, plus one month’s
interest thereon at the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the defective Mortgage
Loan, being paid by the Seller and deemed to be a Principal Prepayment to be
remitted to the Purchaser by the Seller), (b) have a Mortgage Interest Rate
not less than, and not more than one percentage point greater than, the Mortgage
Interest Rate of the removed Mortgage Loan, (c) have a remaining term to
stated maturity not later than, and not more than one year less than, the
remaining term to stated maturity of the removed Mortgage Loan, (d) have a
Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination no greater than that of the removed Mortgage
Loan, (e) with respect to any Second Lien Loan, have an Combined
Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination no greater than that of the removed Mortgage
Loan, (f) have the same lien priority as that of the removed Mortgage Loan
and (g) be, in the reasonable determination of the Purchaser, in material
compliance with the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement
and described in Section 3.02 as of the date of substitution.
If
such
substitution occurs during the related Interim Servicing Period, the Seller
shall amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of
the
removed Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and the substitution of such
substitute Mortgage Loan therefor. Upon such amendment, the Purchaser
shall review the Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute
Mortgage Loan. The Monthly Payment on a substitute Mortgage Loan due
on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Seller
and the
37
Monthly
Payment on the Defective Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due
on
the such date shall be the property of the Purchaser.
It
is
understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this
Section 3.03 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage
Loan, and to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.01, constitute the
sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing
representations and warranties. If the Seller fails to repurchase or
substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan in accordance with this
Section 3.03, or fails to cure a defective Mortgage Loan to Purchaser’s
reasonable satisfaction in accordance with this Section 3.03, or to
indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.01, that failure shall, upon
compliance by the Purchaser with the next to the last paragraph of this
Section 3.03, entitle the Purchaser to pursue all available
remedies.
Any
cause
of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of the breach of any
representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall accrue
as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) the earlier of discovery of such breach by
the Seller or notice thereof by the Purchaser to the Seller, (ii) failure
by the Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified
above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance
with this Agreement.
In
the
event that any Mortgage Loan is held by a REMIC, notwithstanding any contrary
provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not
in
default or as to which no default is imminent, Purchaser may, in connection
with
any repurchase or substitution of a Defective Mortgage Loan pursuant to this
Section 3.03, require that the Seller deliver, at the Seller’s expense, an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such repurchase or substitution will
not
(i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of such
REMIC (as defined in Section 860F of the Code) or otherwise subject the
REMIC to tax, or (ii) cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time.
Section
3.04. Repurchase
of Mortgage Loans With First Payment Defaults.
If
a
Mortgagor is thirty (30) days or more delinquent with respect to the first
Monthly Payment due to the Purchaser on the related Mortgage Loan immediately
following the related Closing Date, the Seller, at the Purchaser’s option, shall
promptly repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser within thirty (30)
calendar days’ of receipt of written notice from the

effected in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.03
hereof, however, any such repurchase shall be made at the Repurchase
Price.

3.05. Purchase
Price Protection.
With
respect to any Mortgage Loan that prepays in full during the first sixty
(60) days following the related Closing Date, the Seller shall reimburse
the Purchaser the amount (if any) by which the Purchase Price paid by the
Purchaser to the Seller exceeded 100% of the outstanding Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date, within thirty
(30) days of such payoff. Upon any assignment of a Mortgage Loan
and/or this
38
Agreement,
the Purchaser may at its option retain its rights under this Section 3.05

Practices. Unless otherwise specified in the related Assignment and
Conveyance, the related Servicing Transfer Date shall be the first day of the

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 with
a
commercial bank, a savings bank or a savings and loan association (which may
be
a depository Affiliate of the Seller) which meets the guidelines set forth by
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac as an eligible depository institution for custodial
accounts. Each Custodial Account shall be an Eligible
Account. Funds deposited in a Custodial Account may be drawn on in
accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial
Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in
Exhibit B hereto. The original of such letter agreement
shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the initial Closing Date, and upon the
request of any subsequent purchaser.
The
Seller shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, within one

Business Day of receipt thereof, and retain therein the following payments
and
collections received or made 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

(i)
all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the

Sections 4.07, 4.09 and 4.10, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow
Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property
or
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices,
the
loan documents or applicable law;
(v) all

40
(vi) any

(vii) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Seller pursuant to Section 4.09 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; and
(viii) any
amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to
Section 6.02.
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 Ancillary Fees, to the extent permitted
by
Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Seller in the Custodial
Account.
The
Seller may invest the funds in the Custodial Account in Eligible Investments
designated in the name of the Seller for the benefit of the Seller, which shall
mature not later than the Business Day next preceding the Remittance Date next
following the date of such investment (except that (A) any investment in
the Eligible Institution with which the Custodial Account is maintained may
mature on such Remittance Date and (B) any other investment may mature on
such Remittance Date if the Seller shall advance funds on such Remittance Date,
pending receipt thereof to the extent necessary to make distributions to the
Purchaser) and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to
maturity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and above,
all income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit
of the Seller and shall be subject to withdrawal by the Seller from the
Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04(iv). The amount of
any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in
the
Custodial Account by the Seller out of its own funds immediately as
realized.
Section
4.04. 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 payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided
for
in Section 5.01;
(ii) to
reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unpaid Interim
Servicing Fees, the Seller’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this
subclause (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related
proceeds from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance
Proceeds;
(iii) to
pay to itself as part of its servicing compensation: (a) any
interest earned on funds or any investment earnings in the Custodial Account
net
of any losses on such investments (all such amounts to be withdrawn monthly
not
later than each Remittance Date), and (b) to the extent not otherwise
retained, the Interim Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery
as to interest with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan;
41
(iv) to

(vi) to
remove funds inadvertently placed in the Custodial Account by the Seller or
for
which amounts previously deposited are returned unpaid by the related
Mortgagor’s banking institution; and
(vii) to
clear and terminate the Custodial Account on the applicable Servicing Transfer
Date.
Section
4.05. Establishment
of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in 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. Each Escrow Account shall be an Eligible
Account. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the
Seller in accordance with Section 4.06. The creation of any
Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in
Exhibit C. The original of such letter agreement shall be
furnished to the Purchaser on the initial Closing Date, and upon request to
any
subsequent purchaser.
The
Seller shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, within
two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof, and retain therein:
(i)
all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose
of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of
this Agreement;
(ii) all
Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of
any
Mortgaged Property; and
(iii) all
Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient to
cover escrow disbursements.
The
Seller shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account 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 Section 4.06. The
Seller shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in
an
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 such Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that
interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.
Section
4.06. Permitted
Withdrawals From the Escrow Account.
42
Withdrawals
from the Escrow Account may be made by the Seller only:
(i) to
effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, fire and hazard insurance
premiums, condominium assessments and comparable items for the related
Mortgage;
(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;
(vii) to
clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this
Agreement;
(viii) to
pay to the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in
accordance with Section 4.05;
(ix) to
remove funds inadvertently placed in the Escrow Account by the Seller or for
which amounts previously deposited are returned unpaid by the related
Mortgagor’s banking institution; and
(x) to
clear and terminate the Escrow Account upon the applicable Servicing Transfer
Date.
Section
4.07. Payment
of Taxes, Insurance and Charges; Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance;
Collections Thereunder.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan during the related Interim Servicing Period,
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 mortgage insurance
premiums (if any) and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain,
from
time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal
premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or
termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts
allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow
Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Seller in amounts
sufficient for such purposes, as
43
allowed
under the terms of the Mortgage or 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 ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges 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 subject
to
its ability to recover such Servicing Advances pursuant to
Sections 4.04(ii) and (iv). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Seller reasonably determines that any such Servicing Advance would not
be
recoverable from amounts collected on the related Mortgage Loan, the Seller
shall have no obligation to make such Servicing Advance. Any such
determination shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the
Purchaser indicating the reasons therefor.
The
Seller will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each First Lien Loan
for
which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be
maintained until the Loan-to-Value ratio of the related Mortgage Loan is reduced
to the amount for which Xxxxxx Mae no longer requires such insurance to be
maintained. The Seller will not cancel or refuse to renew any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the related Closing Date that is required
to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy for such canceled 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 Mortgage
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
6.01, the Seller shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of
liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions
which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of
coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or
substitution of liability, the Seller shall obtain a replacement Primary
Mortgage 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 Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the
terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take
such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted first lien Mortgage
Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.03, any amounts collected by the
Seller under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the
Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 4.04.
Section
4.08. Transfer
of Accounts.
The
Seller may transfer a Custodial Account or an Escrow Account to a different
Eligible Account from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only
upon providing notice of the transfer to the Purchaser.
44
Section
4.09. Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance.
The
Seller shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan during the related
Interim Servicing Period fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as
is
acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and customary in the area where the
Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of
(i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage
Loan and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of
the Mortgage Loan, and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall
be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a
co-insurer. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973,
as amended, each Mortgage Loan shall be covered by a flood insurance policy
meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration in effect with an insurance carrier acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae
or
Xxxxxxx Mac, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of
(i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the
maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and
(iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during
the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Seller determines in accordance with
applicable law and pursuant to the Xxxxxx Mae Guides that a Mortgaged Property
is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance
or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Seller shall notify the related
Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and
if
the related Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage
within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Seller shall
immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s
behalf. 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 released to the Mortgagor
in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall be deposited in the
Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 4.04. It is understood and agreed that no other
additional insurance need be required by the Seller or maintained on property
acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to this Agreement,
the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations
as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional
insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard
mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Seller and its successors and/or
assigns and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice
of
any cancellation, reduction in the amount 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 are Qualified
Insurers.
Section
4.10. Maintenance
of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.
In
the
event that the Seller (or an Affiliate of the Seller) shall obtain and maintain
a blanket policy issued by an issuer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac
insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent
such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant
to Section 4.09 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section
4.09, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as
set
forth in Section 4.09, 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
45
been
maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with Section
4.09, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such
policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable under
the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection
with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the 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 shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a statement from the insurer
thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially
modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the
Purchaser.
Section
4.11. Maintenance
of Fidelity Bond and 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
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 shall be in the form of a
mortgage banker’s blanket bond and shall protect and insure the Seller against
losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement and fraud of such
Persons. The errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure
the Seller against losses arising out of errors and omissions and negligent
acts
of such Persons. Such errors and omissions insurance shall also
protect and insure the 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
Section 4.11 requiring the Fidelity Bond or 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 Xxxxxx Mae in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Mac
Guides. The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate from
the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors
and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety
and
the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be
terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice
to the Purchaser. Upon request by the Purchaser, the Seller shall
provide the Purchaser with an insurance certificate certifying coverage under
this Section 4.11, and will provide an update to such certificate upon request,
or upon renewal or material modification of coverage.

PAYMENTS
TO THE PURCHASER
Section
5.01. Distributions.
On
each
Remittance Date, the Seller shall distribute by wire transfer to the Purchaser
(i) 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 Section 4.04, minus
(ii) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a
Due Date or Dates subsequent to the preceding Determination Date, which
amounts
46
shall
be
remitted on the Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts,
and any Principal Prepayments received during the month of such Remittance
Date,
which amounts shall be remitted on the next succeeding Remittance
Date.
With
respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the 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 Prime 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 deposited in the Custodial Account by the
Seller on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period
commencing with the day following the second Business Day on which such payment
was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both
inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with the
distribution payable on the earlier of the next succeeding Remittance Date
or
the date referenced in Section 8.02 on which the Net P&I Transfer
Amount is remitted to the Purchaser. The payment by the Seller of any
such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment.

The
Seller shall furnish the Purchaser on each Remittance Date a remittance advice
report in a form mutually agreeable to the Seller and Purchaser.

GENERAL
SERVICING PROCEDURES
Section
6.01. 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 to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the
Seller shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms
of
the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair
or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy, if any. If the Seller reasonably believes it is unable under
applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Seller will enter into
an assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property has
been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state
law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. If the Seller is
prohibited under applicable law from (a) entering into an assumption
agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed
or is
proposed to be conveyed or (b) requiring the original Mortgagor to remain
liable under the Mortgage Note, the Seller, with the prior consent of the
primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution
of
liability agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original Mortgagor
is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor
and
47
becomes
liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of
liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.
In
connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Seller
shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Xxxxxx Xxx
Guides. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability,
the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note and the amount
of
the Monthly Payment may not be changed. If the credit of the proposed
transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Seller diligently
shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by
applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan. The
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. All fees
collected by the Seller for entering into an assumption or substitution of
liability agreement shall belong to the Seller as additional servicing
compensation.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 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
Section 6.01, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale of the
Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an
assumption or substitution of liability agreement.
Section
6.02. Satisfaction
of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Seller of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes, the Seller will immediately notify the Purchaser by a
certification, which certification shall include a statement to the effect
that
all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which
are
required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04
have been or will be so deposited, of a Servicing Officer and shall request
delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the
Purchaser. The Purchaser shall no later than five (5) Business Days
after receipt of such certification and request, release or cause to be released
to the Seller, the related Mortgage Loan Documents and, upon its receipt of
such
documents, the Seller shall promptly prepare and deliver to the Purchaser the
requisite satisfaction or release. No later than three (3) Business
Days following its receipt of such satisfaction or release, the Purchaser shall
deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Seller the release or satisfaction
properly executed by the owner of record of the applicable Mortgage or its
duly
appointed attorney in fact. If such Mortgage Loan is a MERS Mortgage
Loan, the Seller is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on
the
MERS System of such Mortgage and to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Purchaser, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial
or full release.
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
48
right
the
Purchaser may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Seller, upon written
demand, shall remit within two (2) Business Days to the Purchaser the then
outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof
in
the Custodial Account.
From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage
Loans, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage
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 portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser to the
Seller. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Seller to return
such Mortgage Loan 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 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 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.
Section
6.03. Servicing
Compensation.
During
the related Interim Servicing Period, the Seller shall be entitled to retain
from payments received by it on the Mortgage Loans the related Interim Servicing
Fee and shall be entitled to retain all Ancillary Fees to which Seller is
entitled. To the extent the Purchaser collects payments from the
Mortgagors as provided in Section 4.01, the Seller shall submit a
reasonably detailed invoice reasonably acceptable to Purchaser for reimbursement
of any related Interim Servicing Fees and Ancillary Fees owed to the Seller
in
respect of the related Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall pay such
amounts to the Seller within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such
invoice. All services to be performed by the Seller hereunder
(including, but not limited to, the preparation and sending of notifications
to
Mortgagors and insurers) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the
Seller.
Section
6.04. Purchaser’s
Right to Examine Seller Records.
At
its
expense, the Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit upon reasonable
notice to the Seller, during business hours or at such other times as might
be
reasonable under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records,
documentation or other information of the Seller, or held by another for the
Seller or on its behalf or otherwise, which relates to the performance or
observance by the Seller of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Agreement.
The
Seller shall provide to the Purchaser and any supervisory agents or examiners
representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over
the
Purchaser, including but not limited to, OCC, OTS, FDIC and other similar
entities, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the
possession of the Seller which may be
49
required
by any applicable regulations. Such access shall be afforded without
charge, upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices
of the Seller, and in accordance with the federal government, OCC, FDIC, OTS,
or
any other similar regulations; provided, however, that in
connection with providing such access, the Seller shall not be required to
incur
any out-of-pocket costs unless provisions have been made for the reimbursement
thereof.
Section
6.05. Seller
Shall Provide Information as Reasonably Required.
The
Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser during the term of this Agreement such
periodic, special or other reports, information or documentation as the
Purchaser may reasonably request, as shall be necessary, reasonable or
appropriate in respect to the Mortgage Loans and the performance of the Seller
under this Agreement, including any reports, information or documentation
reasonably required to comply with any regulations regarding any supervisory
agents or examiners of the Purchaser; provided, that, the Seller shall not
be
liable for any out-of-pocket costs with respect to the provision of such
reports, information or documentation. All such reports or
information shall be provided by and in accordance with such applicable
instructions and directions as the Purchaser may reasonably request in relation
to this Agreement or the performance of the Seller under this
Agreement. The Seller agrees to execute and deliver all such
instruments and take all such action as the Purchaser, from time to time, may
reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the
terms
of this Agreement.
The
Seller, upon reasonable advance notice, shall make reasonably available to
the
Purchaser or any prospective purchaser a knowledgeable financial or accounting
officer for the purpose of answering questions and to permit any prospective
purchaser to inspect the Seller’s servicing facilities for the purpose of
satisfying such prospective purchaser that the Seller has the ability to service
the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Agreement.
The
Seller shall maintain with respect to each Mortgage Loan and shall make
available for inspection by the Purchaser or its designee the related Servicing
File during the time the Purchaser retains ownership of a Mortgage Loan and
thereafter in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

THE
SELLER
Section
7.01. Indemnification;
Third Party Claims.
The
Seller agrees to indemnify and hold the Purchaser and its present and former
directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from any and all claims,
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of such parties
may
sustain in any way related to the failure of the Seller to observe and perform
its duties, obligations, covenants, and agreements and to service the Mortgage
Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement or as a result of the
breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02
of this Agreement. The Seller hereunder shall immediately notify the
Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement
or
a Mortgage Loan, assume (with the consent of the Purchaser) the defense of
any
such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel
fees,
and
50
promptly
pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against
it or the Purchaser in respect of such claim. The Seller shall follow
any written instructions received from the Purchaser in connection with such
claim. The Purchaser shall promptly reimburse the Seller for all
amounts advanced by it pursuant to the two preceding sentences except when
the
claim relates to the failure of the Seller to service and administer the
Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the failure
of
the Seller to perform its duties and obligations pursuant to this Agreement,
the
breach of representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02, or
the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the
Seller. The provisions of this Section 7.01 shall survive
termination of this Agreement.
Section
7.02. Limitation
on Liability of the Seller and Others.
The
duties and obligations of the Seller shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Agreement, the Seller shall not be liable except for the
performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in
this
Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Seller. Neither the Seller nor any of the
directors, 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 pursuant to this Agreement, or
for
errors in judgment made in good faith; 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
compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligence, bad faith
or
willful misconduct, or any breach of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. The Seller and any director, 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 Purchaser 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 duties
to
service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its
reasonable opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability.
Section
7.03. No
Transfer of Servicing.
With
respect to the retention of the Seller to interim service the Mortgage Loans
hereunder, 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 7.03, the Seller shall not either assign this
Agreement or the interim servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties
hereunder or any portion thereof without the prior written approval of the
Purchaser, which consent may be withheld in the Purchaser’s discretion exercised
in good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller may, without
the consent of the Purchaser, retain reasonable and necessary third party
contractors to perform certain interim servicing and loan administration
functions, including and limited to, hazard insurance administration, tax
payment and administration, flood certification and administration and
foreclosure activities; provided, that such contractors shall perform such
interim servicing and loan administrative functions in a manner consistent
with
this Agreement; provided, further, that the retention of such contractors by
Seller shall not limit the obligation of
51
the
Seller to interim service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement or release it from any of its obligations
hereunder.
Section
7.04. Seller
Not to Resign.
The
Seller shall not 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 duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Seller. Any
such determination permitting the resignation of the Seller 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 acceptable to the
Purchaser. 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 11.01.
Section
7.05. Merger
or Consolidation of the Seller.
The
Seller shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a
corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted
herein, and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a
foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or
shall
be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement,
or
any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this
Agreement.
Any
Person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated (including by means
of sale or disposal of all or substantially all of the Seller’s assets), 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, unless otherwise consented to
by
the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall
be
qualified and in good standing to service mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx
Xxx
or Xxxxxxx Mac.

alternate methods for providing such information to the Seller are
available. The parties hereto agree that the inability of the

in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against

provided, however, that Seller shall be liable in any such case only to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of,
or

or

provided, however, that Xxxxxx shall be liable in any such case
only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises
out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or
omission or alleged omission set forth in or omitted from the information set

set
forth in the Prospectus Supplement or the Term Sheet or any amendment of or
supplement to either that is derived from loan-level information provided by
the
Seller to the Purchaser, the Depositor or any of their
Affiliates. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any
liability which Xxxxxx may otherwise have to the Seller or any such director,
officer, employee, agent or controlling person of the Seller.
As
used
herein:
“Seller
Information” means any information relating to Seller, the Mortgage Loans
and/or the underwriting guidelines relating to the Mortgage Loans provided
by
the Seller for inclusion in the Prospectus Supplement or the Term
Sheet.
(c) Promptly
after receipt by any indemnified party under this Section 1 of notice of
any claim or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall,
if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under
this
Section 1, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the
commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure
to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which
it
may have under this Section 1 except to the extent it has been materially
prejudiced by such failure; and provided, further, however,
that the failure to notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve it from
any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this
Section 1.
If
any
such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it
shall
notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled
to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any
other
similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After
notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election
to
assume the defense of such claim or action, except as provided in the following
paragraph, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party
under this Section 1 for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other
than reasonable costs of investigation.
Any
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 such indemnified party
unless: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized
by the indemnifying party in writing; (ii) such 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
necessary or appropriate for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel;
or (iii) 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
F-3
such
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 such 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 all such indemnified
parties.
Each
indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements contained in
this
Section 1, shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of
any such action or claim. No indemnifying party shall 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 any indemnified
party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
judgment.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested
an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees
and
expenses of counsel, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable
for
any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i)
such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such
indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party
shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request
prior to the date of such settlement.
(d) If
the indemnification provided for in this Section 1 is unavailable to an
indemnified party, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party, respectively, in connection with
the statements or omissions that result in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnified party and
indemnifying party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by such parties and their relative knowledge, access to information
and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission and any other
equitable considerations.
(e) The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 1 shall
remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination
of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Depositor, Xxxxxx, the
Underwriter, the Initial Purchaser, their respective Affiliates, directors,
officers, employees or agents or any person controlling the Depositor, Xxxxxx,
the Underwriter, the Initial Purchaser or any such Affiliate, and (iii)
acceptance of and payment for any of the Offered Certificates or Private
Certificates.
