purposes of this Agreement, payments of scheduled principal and interest prepaid
for a Due Date beyond the related Cut-off Date shall not be applied to reduce
the Stated Principal Balance as of the related Cut-off Date. Such
prepaid amounts (minus the applicable Servicing Fee) shall be the property
of
the Purchaser. The Seller shall remit to the Servicer for deposit any
such prepaid amounts into the Custodial Account, which account is established
for the benefit of the Purchaser, for remittance by the Servicer to the
Purchaser on the appropriate Remittance Date. All payments of
principal and interest, less the applicable Servicing Fee, due on a Due Date
following the related Cut-off Date shall belong to the Purchaser.
Section
3. Mortgage Loan
Schedule. The Seller from time to time shall provide the
Purchaser with certain information constituting a preliminary listing of the
Mortgage Loans to be purchased on each Closing Date in accordance with the
related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement and this Agreement (each, a “Preliminary Mortgage
Schedule”).
The
Seller shall deliver the related Mortgage Loan Schedule for the Mortgage Loans
to be purchased on a particular Closing Date to the Purchaser at least five
(5)
Business Days prior to the related Closing Date. The related Mortgage
Loan Schedule shall be the related Preliminary Mortgage Schedule with those
Mortgage Loans which have not been funded prior to the related Closing Date
deleted.
Section
4. Purchase
Price. The Purchase Price for each Mortgage Loan shall be the
percentage of par as stated in the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement
(subject to adjustment as provided therein), multiplied by the aggregate
principal balance, as of the related Cut-off Date, of the Mortgage Loans listed
on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, after application of scheduled payments
of principal due on or before the related Cut-off Date, but only to the extent
such payments were actually received. The initial principal amount of
the related Mortgage Loans shall be the aggregate principal balance of the
Mortgage Loans, so
-18-
computed
as of the related Cut-off Date. If so provided in the related
Purchase Price and Terms Agreement, portions of the Mortgage Loans shall be
priced separately.
In
addition to the Purchase Price as described above, the Purchaser shall pay
to
the Seller, at closing, accrued interest on the current principal amount of
the
related Mortgage Loans as of the related Cut-off Date at the weighted average
Mortgage Interest Rate of those Mortgage Loans. The Purchase Price
plus accrued interest as set forth in the preceding paragraph shall be paid
to the Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
designated by the Seller in writing.
Section
5. Examination of Mortgage
Files. At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the related
Closing Date, the Seller shall either (a) deliver to the Purchaser or its
designee in escrow, for examination with respect to each Mortgage Loan to be
purchased, the related Mortgage File, including a copy of the Assignment of
Mortgage, pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, or (b) make the related
Mortgage File available to the Purchaser for examination at such other location
as shall otherwise be acceptable to the Purchaser. Such examination
of the Mortgage Files may be made by the Purchaser or its designee at any
reasonable time before or after the related Closing Date. If the
Purchaser makes such examination prior to the related Closing Date and
determines, in its sole discretion, that any Mortgage Loans do not conform
to
any of the requirements set forth in the related Purchase Price and Terms
Agreement, or as an Exhibit annexed thereto, the Purchaser may delete such
Mortgage Loans from the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and such Deleted
Mortgage Loan (or Loans) may be replaced by a Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan
(or Loans) acceptable to the Purchaser. The Purchaser may, at its
option and without notice to the Seller, purchase some or all of the Mortgage
Loans without conducting any partial or complete examination. The
fact that the Purchaser or its designee has conducted or has failed to conduct
any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not impair
in
any way the Purchaser’s (or any of its successor’s) rights to demand repurchase,
substitution or other relief as provided in this Agreement. In the
event that the Seller fails to deliver the Mortgage File with respect to any
Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall, upon the request of the Purchaser, repurchase
such Mortgage Loan as the price and in the manner specified in Subsection
7.03.
Section
6. Delivery of Mortgage
Loan
Documents.
Subsection
6.01 Possession of Mortgage
Files. The contents of each Mortgage File required to be
retained by or delivered to the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant
to this Agreement and thus not delivered to the Purchaser, or its designee,
are
and shall be held in trust by the Servicer for the benefit of the Purchaser
as
the owner thereof. The Servicer’s possession of any portion of each
such Mortgage File is at the will of the Purchaser for the sole purpose of
facilitating servicing of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement, and
such retention and possession by the Servicer shall be in a custodial capacity
only. The ownership of each Mortgage Note, each Mortgage and the
contents of each Mortgage File is vested in the Purchaser and the ownership
of
all records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared
by
or which come into the possession of the Servicer shall immediately vest in
the
Purchaser and shall be retained and maintained, in trust, by the Servicer at
the
will of the Purchaser in such custodial capacity only. The Mortgage
File retained by the
-19-
Servicer
with respect to each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement shall be
appropriately identified in the Servicer’s computer system and/or books and
records to reflect clearly the sale of such related Mortgage Loan to the
Purchaser. The Servicer shall release from its custody the contents
of any Mortgage File retained by it only in accordance with this Agreement,
except when such release is required in connection with a repurchase of any
such
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Subsection 7.03
or if required under Applicable Law or court order.
Subsection
6.02 Books 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;
provided, however,
that if a Mortgage
has been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee, the Seller is shown
as
the owner of the related Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes
of
the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages
maintained by MERS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ownership of each
Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note shall be vested solely in the Purchaser
or the appropriate designee of the Purchaser, as the case may be. All
rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all
funds received by the Servicer after the related Cut-off Date on or in
connection with a Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 2 shall
be vested in the Purchaser or one or more designees of the Purchaser; provided, however,
that all such funds
received on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 2 shall
be received and held by the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser
or the appropriate designee of the Purchaser, as the case may be, as the owner
of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
It
is the
express intention of the parties that the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement be, and be construed as, a sale of the related Mortgage Loans by
the
Seller and not a pledge of such Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser
to
secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. Consequently, the
sale of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected as a purchase on the Purchaser’s
business records, tax returns and financial statements, and as a sale of assets
on the Seller’s business records, tax returns and financial
statements.
Subsection
6.03 Delivery of Mortgage
Loan
Document. The Seller shall, at least two (2) Business
Days prior to the related Closing Date (or such later date as the Purchaser
may
reasonably request), deliver and release to the Purchaser, or its designee,
the
Mortgage Loan Documents with respect to each Mortgage Loan pursuant to a bailee
letter agreement. In connection with the foregoing, the Seller shall
indemnify the Purchaser and its present and former directors, officers,
employees and agents and any Successor Servicer and its present and former
directors, officers, employees and agents, and hold such parties harmless
against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and
expenses and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses based on
or
grounded upon, or resulting from, the fact that any Mortgage Loan is not covered
by an ALTA or CLTA lender’s title insurance policy. For purposes of
the previous sentence, “Purchaser” shall mean the Person then acting as the
Purchaser under this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were
“Purchasers” under this Agreement and “Successor Servicer” shall mean any Person
designated as the Successor Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and any and
all
Persons who previously were “Successor Servicers” pursuant to this
Agreement.
To
the
extent received by it, the Servicer shall forward to the Purchaser, or its
designee, original documents evidencing an assumption, modification,
consolidation or extension
-20-
of
any
Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with this Agreement within two
(2) weeks after their execution; provided, however,
that the Servicer
shall provide the Purchaser, or its designee, with a copy, certified by the
Servicer as a true copy, of any such document submitted for recordation within
two (2) weeks after its execution, and shall promptly provide the original
of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified
by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of
the
original within two (2) weeks following receipt of the original document by
the Servicer; provided,
however,
that such
original recorded document or certified copy thereof shall be delivered to
the
Purchaser no later than 180 days following the related Closing Date, unless
there has been a delay at the applicable recording office.
If
the
original or copy of any document submitted for recordation to the appropriate
public recording office is not delivered to the Purchaser or its designee within
180 days following the related Closing Date, the related Mortgage Loan
shall, upon the request of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Seller at the
price and in the manner specified in Subsection
7.03. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply if
the Seller cannot cause the Servicer to deliver such original or copy of any
document submitted for recordation to the appropriate public recording office
within the specified period due to a delay caused by the recording office in
the
applicable jurisdiction; provided that (i) the
Servicer shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office
or,
if such recording receipt is not available, an officer’s certificate of a
servicing officer of the Servicer, confirming that such document has been
accepted for recording, and (ii) such document is delivered within twelve
(12) months of the related Closing Date.
The
Seller shall pay all initial recording fees, if any, for the Assignments of
Mortgage and any other fees or costs in transferring all original documents
to
the Custodian or, upon written request of the Purchaser, to the Purchaser or
the
Purchaser’s designee. The Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee shall
be responsible for recording the Assignments of Mortgage and shall be reimbursed
by the Seller for the costs associated therewith pursuant to the preceding
sentence.
Subsection
6.04 MERS Designated
Loans. With respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, the
Seller shall, on or prior to the related Closing Date, designate the Purchaser
as the Investor and the Custodian as custodian, and no Person shall be listed
as
Interim Funder on the MERS System. In addition, on or prior to the
related Closing Date, Seller shall provide the Custodian and the Purchaser
with
a MERS Report listing the Purchaser as the Investor, the Custodian as custodian
and no Person listed as Interim Funder with respect to each MERS Designated
Mortgage Loan.
Section
7. Representations,
Warranties
and Covenants; Remedies for Breach.
Subsection
7.01 Representations
and
Warranties Regarding Individual Mortgage Loans. The Seller
hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan,
as of the related Closing Date for such Mortgage Loan:
(a) Mortgage
Loans as
Described. The information set forth in the related Mortgage
Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct;
-21-
(b) Payments
Current. All payments required to be made up to the related
Closing Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have
been made and credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan
is 30 days or more delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan
been 30 days or more delinquent at any time since the origination of the
Mortgage Loan;
(c) No
Outstanding
Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of
the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums,
water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which
previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been
established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains
unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and
payable. The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or
knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor,
directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the
Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note
or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier,
to
the day which precedes by one month the related Due Date of the first
installment of principal and interest;
(d) Original
Terms
Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have
not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date
of
origination except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary
to protect the interests of the Purchaser, and which has been delivered to
the
Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing,
and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan
Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or
modification has been approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and
the
title insurer, if any, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms
are
reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, if applicable. No
Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with
an
assumption agreement, approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and
the
title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption
agreement is part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Custodian or to
such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing and the terms
of
which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(e) No
Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is 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 either
the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject
to
any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without
limitation the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;
(f) Hazard
Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all
buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by
a
generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage
and such other hazards as are provided for in the Underwriting
Guidelines. If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968,
as amended, each Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting
the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration as in effect which policy conforms with the Underwriting
Guidelines. All individual insurance policies contain a
standard
-22-
mortgagee
clause naming the Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all
premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor’s cost and
expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the
Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor’s cost and
expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where
required by state law or regulation, 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
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;
(g) Compliance
with Applicable
Laws. Any and all requirements of Applicable Law, including,
without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures,
consumer credit protection, predatory, abusive and fair lending, equal credit
opportunity and disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan, including,
without limitation, any provisions relating to a Prepayment Penalty 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. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material
and Adverse Representation;
(h) No
Satisfaction of
Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled,
subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property
has
not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has
any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation,
subordination or rescission. 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;
(i) Type
of Mortgaged
Property. With respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a Co-op
Loan and is not secured by an interest in a leasehold estate, the Mortgaged
Property is a fee simple estate that consists of a single parcel of real
property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two-
to
four-family dwelling, or an individual residential condominium unit in a
condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development (or,
with respect to each Co-op Loan an individual unit in a residential cooperative
housing corporation); provided, however, that any condominium unit, planned
unit
development or residential cooperative housing corporation shall conform with
the Underwriting Guidelines. Except with respect to Mortgage Loans
identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as
-23-
“mixed
use,” or “non-residential,” no portion of the Mortgaged Property (or underlying
Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) is used for commercial
purposes, and since the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged
Property has been used for commercial purposes; provided, that Mortgaged
Properties which contain a home office shall not be considered as being used
for
commercial purposes as long as the Mortgaged Property has not been altered
for
commercial purposes and is not storing any chemicals or raw materials other
than
those commonly used for homeowner repair, maintenance and/or household
purposes. None of the Mortgaged Properties are Manufactured Homes,
log homes, mobile homes, geodesic domes or other unique property
types. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and
Adverse Representation;
(j) Valid
First
Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and
perfected, first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings and
improvements on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical,
electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed
to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at
any
time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is
subject only to:
(i) the
lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and
payable;
(ii) covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of
the
public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending
institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and
(a) specifically 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 set forth in such
appraisal; and
(iii) other
matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially
interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the
Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged
Property.
Any
security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and
delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid,
subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security
interest on the property described therein and the Seller has full right to
sell
and assign the same to the Purchaser.
With
respect to any Co-op Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and
enforceable first priority security interest on the related cooperative shares
securing the Mortgage Note, subject only to (a) liens of the related
residential cooperative housing corporation for unpaid assessments representing
the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the related residential cooperative housing
corporation’s payments for its blanket mortgage, current and future real
property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments
to
which like collateral is commonly subject and (b) other matters to which
like collateral is commonly subject
-24-
which
do
not materially interfere with the benefits of the security interest intended
to
be provided by the related Security Agreement;
(k) Validity
of Mortgage
Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other
agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor in connection with a Mortgage
Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms (including, without
limitation, any provisions therein relating to Prepayment
Penalties). All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any
other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage
Loan
and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such
agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related
agreement have been duly and properly executed by other such related
parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or
similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part
of the Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in
the
application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan. The
documents, instruments and agreements submitted for loan underwriting were
not
falsified and contain no untrue statement of material fact or omit to state
a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the information
and statements therein not misleading. No fraud, error, omission,
misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage
Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including without limitation,
the Mortgagor, any appraiser or any other party involved in the origination
of
the Mortgage Loan, or to the best of Seller’s knowledge, on the part of any
builder or developer or any other Person involved in the application for any
insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan. In making the
representations set forth in this clause (k), the Seller has reviewed all
of the documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries
as
it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations
set
forth herein;
(l) Full
Disbursement of
Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan has been closed and the proceeds
of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement
for
future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of
any
on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds
therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses
incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the
Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any
amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(m) Ownership. The
Seller is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the
indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note and upon the sale of the Mortgage
Loans to the Purchaser, the Seller will retain the Mortgage Files or any part
thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Custodian, the Purchaser
or
the Purchaser’s designee, in trust only for the purpose of servicing and
supervising the servicing of each Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is
not assigned or pledged, and the Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable
title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to
the
Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest,
lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and
authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any
other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement
and following the sale of each 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
Mortgage
-25-
Loan,
except as may be required of the Seller in its capacity as Servicer of such
Mortgage Loan. 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) Doing
Business. 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)
(1) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the
laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (2) either
(i) organized under the laws of such state, or (ii) qualified to do
business in such state, or (iii) a federal savings and loan association, a
savings bank or a national bank having a principal office in such state, or
(3) not doing business in such state;
(o) LTV,
PMI
Policy. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than
100%. Any Mortgage Loan that had at the time of origination an LTV in
excess of 80% is insured as to payment defaults by a PMI Policy. Any
PMI Policy in effect covers the related Mortgage Loan for the life of such
Mortgage Loan. All provisions of such PMI 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 PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the PMI 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 if the related PMI Policy is
lender-paid;
(p) Title Insurance. With
respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage Loan is
covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable
form of policy or insurance acceptable under the Underwriting Guidelines and
each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable under
the Underwriting Guidelines and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction
where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Seller, its successors
and
assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal
amount of the Mortgage Loan (or to the extent a Mortgage Note provides for
negative amortization, the maximum amount of negative amortization in accordance
with the Mortgage), subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (i)
and
(ii) of clause (j) of this Subsection 7.02,
and in the case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason
of
the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions
of
the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly
Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has
been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title
insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy
affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon
the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller, its
successor and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance
policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full
force and effect and will be in 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, including
without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other
unlawful
-26-
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;
(q) No
Defaults. Other than payments due but not yet 30 days or
more delinquent, there is no default, breach, violation or event which would
permit 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
which would permit acceleration, and neither the Seller nor any of its
affiliates nor any of their respective predecessors, have waived any default,
breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration;
(r) No
Mechanics’
Liens. There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims
which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding
that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged
Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the
lien of the related Mortgage;
(s) Location
of Improvements; No
Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in
determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lay wholly within
the
boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no
improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged
Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged
Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or
regulation;
(t) Origination;
Payment
Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee
approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to
Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan
association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company
or other similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal
or
state authority. Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no
more than seventy days after funds were disbursed in connection with the
Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Interest Rate as well as, in the case of
an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Lifetime Rate Cap and the Periodic Rate
Cap and the Periodic Rate Floor are as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan
Schedule. The Mortgage Interest Rate is adjusted, with respect to
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date to equal
the Index plus the Gross Margin (rounded up or down to the nearest 0.125%),
subject to the Periodic Rate Cap. The Mortgage Note is payable in
equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which installments of
interest, with respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, are subject to change
due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate
Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient
to
amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original
term of not more than thirty (30) years from commencement of
amortization. Unless otherwise specified on the related Mortgage Loan
Schedule, the Mortgage Loan is payable on the first day of each
month. The Mortgage Loan does not require a balloon payment on its
stated maturity date; and by its original terms or any modification thereof,
does not provide for amortization beyond its scheduled maturity
date;
(u) Customary
Provisions. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
adequate for the
-27-
realization
against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby,
including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by
trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. 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 a 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 or similar law;
(v) Conformance
with Agency and
Underwriting Guidelines. The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in
accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines (a copy of which is attached to
the
related Assignment and Conveyance as Exhibit C). The
Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx
Mae
and no representations have been made to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent
with
the mortgage instruments used;
(w) Occupancy
of the Mortgaged
Property. The Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under
applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required
to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged
Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including
but
not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates,
have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. Unless
otherwise specified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgagor
represented at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor
would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor’s primary
residence;
(x) No
Additional
Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured
by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security
interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred
to in
clause (j) above;
(y) Deeds
of
Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust,
a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such,
has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the
Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser
to
the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale
after default by the Mortgagor;
(z) Acceptable
Investment. The Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances
or conditions with respect to the related Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property,
the
Mortgagor, the 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. No Mortgaged Property is located in a
state, city, county or other local jurisdiction which the Purchaser has
determined in its sole good faith discretion would cause the related Mortgage
Loan to be ineligible for whole loan sale or securitization in a transaction
consistent with the prevailing sale and securitization industry (including,
without limitation, the practice of the rating agencies) with respect to
substantially similar mortgage loans;
-28-
(aa) Delivery
of Mortgage
Documents. The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of
Mortgage and any other documents required to be delivered under this Agreement
for each Mortgage Loan have been delivered to the Custodian. The
Seller is in possession of a complete, true and accurate Mortgage File in
compliance with Exhibit 2
attached hereto, except for such documents the originals of which have been
delivered to the Custodian;
(bb) Transfer
of Mortgage
Loans. The Assignment of Mortgage (except with respect to any
Mortgage that has been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee) with
respect to each Mortgage Loan is in recordable form and is acceptable for
recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property
is
located;
(cc) Due-On-Sale. With
respect to each Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage contains an enforceable
provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or
transferred without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee thereunder,
and
to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, such provision is
enforceable;
(dd) Assumability. With
respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan Documents
provide that after the related first Interest Rate Adjustment Date, a related
Mortgage Loan may only be assumed if the party assuming such Mortgage Loan
meets
certain credit requirements stated in the Mortgage Loan Documents;
(ee) No
Buydown Provisions; No
Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests. 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, the Mortgagor, 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;
(ff) Consolidation
of Future
Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to
the applicable Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding
principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount,
as
consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment
term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal
amount is 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 Xxx and Xxxxxxx
Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;
(gg)
Mortgaged Property
Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings. There is no proceeding
pending or, to the Seller’s knowledge, 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 as to materially and adversely affect the value
of
the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which
the premises were intended and each Mortgaged Property is in good
repair. There have not been any condemnation proceedings with respect
to the Mortgaged Property and the Seller has no knowledge of any such
proceedings in the future;
-29-
(hh) Collection
Practices; Escrow
Deposits; Interest Rate Adjustments. The origination,
servicing and collection practices used by the Seller with respect to the
Mortgage Loan have been in all respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing
Practices and Applicable Laws, and have been in all respects legal and
proper. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, 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. All Escrow Payments have
been collected in full compliance with state and federal law and the provisions
of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. An escrow of funds is not
prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient
to
pay for every item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet
due
and payable. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges
or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the
Mortgage Note. All Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made
in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the related
Mortgage and Mortgage Note on the related Interest Rate Adjustment
Date. If, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another index
was selected for determining the Mortgage Interest Rate, the same index was
used
with respect to each Mortgage Note which required a new index to be selected,
and such selection did not conflict with the terms of the related Mortgage
Note. The Seller executed and delivered any and all notices required
under Applicable Law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage
regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and the Monthly Payment
adjustments. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state,
federal and local law has been properly paid and credited;
(ii) Conversion
to Fixed Interest
Rate. The Mortgage Loan does not contain a provision whereby
the Mortgagor is permitted to convert the Mortgage Interest Rate from an
adjustable rate to a fixed rate;
(jj) Other
Insurance Policies; No
Defense to Coverage. No action, inaction or event has occurred
and no state of facts exists or has existed on or prior to the Closing Date
that
has resulted or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to
coverage under any applicable hazard insurance policy, PMI Policy or bankruptcy
bond (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which
would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount
of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured), irrespective of the cause
of such failure of coverage. The Seller has caused or will cause to
be performed any and all acts required to preserve the rights and remedies
of
the Purchaser in any insurance policies applicable to the Mortgage Loans
including, without limitation, any necessary notifications of insurers,
assignments of policies or interests therein, and establishments of coinsured,
joint loss payee and mortgagee rights in favor of the Purchaser. In
connection with the placement of any such insurance, no commission, fee, or
other compensation has been or will be received by the Seller or by any officer,
director, or employee of the Seller or any designee of the Seller or any
corporation in which the Seller or any officer, director, or employee had a
financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance;
(kk) No
Violation of
Environmental Laws. To the best of the Seller’s knowledge,
there is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged
Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation
is
an issue; there is no violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation
with respect to the Mortgage Property; and
-30-
nothing
further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such
law,
rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said
property;
(ll) Servicemembers
Civil Relief
Act. The Mortgagor has not notified the Seller, and the Seller
has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under
the
Servicemembers Civil Relief Act or other similar state statute;

Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed
prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application by a Qualified Appraiser,
duly appointed by the Seller, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the
Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose
compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage
Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Xxxxxx
Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and Title XI of FIRREA and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was
originated;
(nn) Disclosure
Materials. The Mortgagor has executed a statement to the
effect that the Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required by,
and
the Seller has complied with, all Applicable Law with respect to the making
of
the Mortgage Loans. The Seller shall maintain such statement in the
Mortgage File;
(oo) Construction
or
Rehabilitation of Mortgaged Property. No Mortgage Loan was
made in connection with the construction (other than a “construct-to-perm” loan)
or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or facilitating the trade-in or
exchange of a Mortgaged Property;
(pp) Escrow
Analysis. If applicable, with respect to each Mortgage Loan,
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;
(qq) Credit
Information. 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, that 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 shall in its capacity as 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. This representation and
warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(rr) Leaseholds. 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
-31-
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;
(ss) Prepayment
Penalty. Each Mortgage Loan that is subject to a Prepayment
Penalty as provided in the related Mortgage Note is identified on the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a
Prepayment Penalty feature, each such Prepayment Penalty is enforceable and
will
be enforced by the Seller during the period the Seller is acting as Servicer
for
the benefit of the Purchaser, and each Prepayment Penalty is permitted pursuant
to federal, state and local law. Each such Prepayment Penalty is in
an amount not more than the maximum amount permitted under applicable law and
no

with
respect to Mortgage Loans originated prior to October, 1, 2002. With
respect to Mortgage Loans originated on or after October 1, 2002, the duration
of the Prepayment Penalty period shall not exceed three (3) years from the
date
of the Mortgage Note unless the Mortgage Loan was modified to reduce the
Prepayment Penalty period to no more than three (3) years from the date of
the
related Mortgage Note and the Mortgagor was notified in writing of such
reduction in Prepayment Penalty period. With respect to any Mortgage
Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition of a Prepayment Penalty
upon a prepayment prior to maturity: (i) the Mortgage Loan provides
some benefit to the Mortgagor (e.g., a rate or fee
reduction) in exchange for accepting such Prepayment Penalty, (ii) the Mortgage
Loan’s originator had a written policy of offering the Mortgagor or requiring
third-party brokers to offer the Mortgagor, the option of obtaining a mortgage
loan that did not require payment of such a penalty, and (iii) the Prepayment
Penalty was adequately disclosed to the Mortgagor in the mortgage loan documents
pursuant to applicable state, local and federal law. This
representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(tt) Predatory
Lending
Regulations. No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered
Loan, as applicable. No Mortgage Loan is covered by the Home
Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 and no Mortgage Loan is in violation
of any comparable state or local law. The Mortgaged Property is not
located in a jurisdiction where a breach of this representation with respect
to
the related Mortgage Loan may result in additional assignee liability to the
Purchaser, as determined by Purchaser in its reasonable
discretion. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and
Adverse Representation;
(uu) Single-premium
credit life
insurance policy. No Mortgagor was required to purchase any
single premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability,
property, accident, unemployment or health insurance product) or debt
cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of
credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single-premium credit
insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability, property, accident,
unemployment, mortgage 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,
-32-
such
Mortgage Loan. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material
and Adverse Representation;
(vv) Qualified
Mortgage. The Mortgage Loan is a qualified mortgage under
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code;
(ww) Tax
Service
Contract. 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;
(xx) Origination. No
predatory or deceptive lending practices, including, without limitation, the
extension of credit without regard to the ability of the Mortgagor to repay
and
the extension of credit which has no apparent benefit to the Mortgagor, were
employed in the origination of the Mortgage Loan;
(yy) Recordation. Each
original Mortgage was recorded and all subsequent assignments of the original
Mortgage (other than the assignment to the Purchaser) 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;
(zz) Co-op
Loans. With respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Co-op Loan,
the stock that is pledged as security for the Mortgage Loan is held by a person
as a tenant-stockholder (as defined in Section 216 of the Code) in a
cooperative housing corporation (as defined in Section 216 of the
Code);
(aaa) Mortgagor
Bankruptcy. On or prior to the date 60 days after the
related Closing Date, the Mortgagor has not filed and will not file a bankruptcy
petition or has not become the subject and will not become the subject of
involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or has not consented to or will not consent
to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it or to a receiver being
appointed in respect of the related Mortgaged Property;
(bbb) No
Prior
Offer. If the Mortgage Loan has previously been offered for
sale, such Mortgage Loan was not rejected from being purchased by such offeree
as a result of the offeree’s due diligence, unless such deficiency has since
been cured;
(ccc) Georgia
Fair Lending
Act. There is no Mortgage Loan that was originated (or
modified) on or after October 1, 2002 and before March 7, 2003 which
is secured by property located in the State of Georgia. There is no
Mortgage Loan that was originated on or after March 7, 2003 that is a “high
cost home loan” as defined under the Georgia Fair Lending Act. This
representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(ddd) No
Arbitration. No Mortgagor with respect to any Mortgage Loan
originated on or after August 1, 2004 agreed to submit to arbitration to
resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the mortgage loan
transaction. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material
and Adverse Representation;
-33-
(eee) Flood
Service
Contract. Each Mortgage Loan is covered by a paid in full,
life of loan, flood service contract issued by First American Real Estate Tax
Service or Fidelity, and such contract is transferable;
(fff) Origination
Practices/No
Steering. The Mortgagor was not 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 such facts as, without limitation, the Mortgage Loan’s requirements
and the Mortgagor’s credit history, income, assets and liabilities 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. For a Mortgagor who seeks financing
through a Mortgage Loan originator’s higher-priced subprime lending channel, the
Mortgagor was directed towards or offered the Mortgage Loan originator’s
standard mortgage line if the Mortgagor was able to qualify for one of the
standard products. This representation and warranty is a Deemed
Material and Adverse Representation;
(ggg) Underwriting
Methodology. The methodology used in underwriting the
extension of credit for each Mortgage Loan does not rely solely on the extent
of
the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in
approving such extension of credit. The methodology employed
objective criteria such as the Mortgagor’s income, assets and liabilities, to
the proposed mortgage payment and, based on such methodology, the Mortgage
Loan’s originator made a reasonable determination that at the time of
origination the Mortgagor had the ability to make timely payments on the
Mortgage Loan. Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the
time of origination (application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable
ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan. This
representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(hhh) Points
and
Fees. Except set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule,
no Mortgagor was charged “points and fees” (whether or not financed) in an
amount greater than (i) $1,000, or (ii) 5% of the principal amount of
such Mortgage Loan, whichever is greater. 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 Xxx 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. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and
Adverse Representation; and
-34-
(iii) Fees
and
Charges. All points, 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 have been
disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with all Applicable Laws
and
regulations. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material
and Adverse Representation.

Agreement, the acquisition or origination of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller,

now a party or by which it is bound, or constitute a default or result in an
acceleration under any of the foregoing, or result in the violation of any
law,
rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Seller or its property
is subject, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or
encumbrance that

would
have an adverse effect upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of
any
mortgage, contract, deed of trust or other instrument, or impair the ability
of
the Purchaser to realize on the Mortgage Loans, impair the value of the Mortgage
Loans, or impair the ability of the Purchaser to realize the full amount of
any
insurance benefits accruing pursuant to this Agreement;
(e) No
Litigation
Pending. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
pending or threatened against the Seller, before any court, administrative
agency or other tribunal asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, seeking
to
prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, may result
in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition,
properties or assets of the Seller, or in any material impairment of the right

sale of the Mortgage Loans is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay
or
defraud any of Seller’s creditors;
(g) Seller’s
Origination. The Seller’s decision to originate any mortgage
loan or to deny any mortgage loan application is an independent decision based
upon the Underwriting 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;
(h) Anti-Money
Laundering
Laws. The Seller has complied with all applicable anti-money
laundering laws, executive order and regulations, including without limitation
the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (collectively, the “Anti-Money Laundering
Laws”); the Seller has established an anti-money laundering compliance
program as required by the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, has conducted the
requisite due diligence in connection with the origination of each Mortgage
Loan
for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, including with respect to the
legitimacy of the applicable Mortgagor and the origin of the assets used by
the
said Mortgagor to purchase the property in question, and maintains, and will
maintain, sufficient information to identify the applicable Mortgagor for
purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws;

and the financial position at the end of each such period of the Seller and
its
subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted

respect of foreclosures and its loan delinquency experience for the immediately
preceding three year period, in each case with respect to mortgage loans owned
by it and such mortgage loans serviced for others during such period, and all
such information so delivered shall be true and correct in all material
respects. There has been no change in the business, operations,
financial condition, properties or assets of the Seller since the date of the
Seller’s financial Statements that would have a material adverse effect on its
ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Seller
has completed any forms and provided any other information reasonably requested

instructions;

mortgage loans in the jurisdiction wherein the Mortgaged Properties are
located. No event has occurred, including but not limited to, a
change in insurance coverage, which would make the Seller unable to comply
with
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac eligibility requirements or which would require
notification to Xxxxxx Mae/Xxxxxxx Mac. The Seller is a member of
MERS in good standing, and will comply in all material respects with the rules

(l) Selection
Process. The Mortgage Loans were selected from among the
outstanding one- to four-family mortgage loans in the Seller’s portfolio at the
related Closing Date as to which the representations and warranties set forth
in
Subsection 7.01
could be made and such selection was not made in a manner so as to affect
adversely the interests of the Purchaser;

(q) Sale

certified public accountants that under generally accepted accounting principles

records of the Seller and the Seller has determined that the disposition of
the
Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement will be afforded sale treatment for
tax and accounting purposes;
(r) Reasonable
Purchase
Price. The consideration received by the Seller upon the sale
of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement constitutes fair consideration and

institution” as that term is defined in Section 1813(c)(2) of Title 12
of the United States Code, as amended, and accordingly, Seller makes the

(i) This
Agreement between Purchaser and Seller conforms to all applicable statutory
and
regulatory requirements; and
(ii) This
Agreement is (1) executed contemporaneously with the agreement reached by
Purchaser and Seller, (2) approved by a specific corporate or banking
association resolution by the Seller’s board of directors, which approval shall
be reflected in the minutes of said board, and (3) an official record of
the Seller. A copy of such resolution, certified by a vice president
or higher officer of Seller has been provided to Purchaser.
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
failure to examine any Mortgage File. With respect to any
representation or warranty contained in Subsections 7.01
or 7.02 hereof
that is made to the Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by the Purchaser
that the substance of such representation and warranty was inaccurate as of
the
related Closing Date and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the
value of the related Mortgage Loan, then notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of
knowledge with respect to the inaccuracy at the time the representation or
warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable
representation or
-38-
warranty. Upon
discovery by either the Seller, the Servicer or the Purchaser of a breach of
any
of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other relevant
parties.
Within
sixty (60) days after 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 the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the
Purchaser therein (or which materially and adversely affects the value of the
applicable Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser therein in the case
of
a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), 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 or Mortgage Loans at the
Repurchase Price. Notwithstanding the above sentence, (i) within
sixty (60) days after the earlier of either discovery by, or notice to, the
Seller of any breach of the representation and warranty set forth in clause
(vv)
of Subsection
7.01, the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase
Price and (ii) any breach of a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation shall
automatically be deemed to materially and adversely affects the value of the
Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser therein. In the event
that a breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 7.02, and
such breach cannot be cured within (sixty) 60 days of the earlier of either
discovery by or notice to the Seller of such breach, all of the Mortgage Loans
affected by such breach shall, at the Purchaser’s option, be repurchased by the
Seller at the Repurchase Price. However, if the breach, shall involve
a representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 7.01 (except as provided
in
the second sentence of this paragraph with respect to certain breaches for
which no substitution is permitted) and the Seller discovers or receives notice
of any such breach within 120 days of the related Closing Date, the Seller
shall, at the Purchaser’s option and provided that the 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 Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans; provided, however,
that any such
substitution shall be effected within such one hundred twenty (120) days
after the related Closing Date. If the Seller has no Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan, it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan at
the
Repurchase Price. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Subsection 7.03
shall occur on a date designated by the Purchaser, and acceptable to the Seller,
and shall be accomplished by the Seller remitting to the Servicer for deposit
the amount of the Repurchase Price in the Custodial Account for distribution
to
the Purchaser on the next scheduled Remittance Date.
At
the
time of repurchase of any deficient Mortgage Loan (or removal of any Deleted
Mortgage Loan), the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the assignment
of
the repurchased Mortgage Loan (or Deleted Mortgage Loan) to the Seller or its
designee and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Purchaser
relating to the repurchased Mortgage Loan in the manner required by this
Agreement with respect to the purchase and sale of such Mortgage Loan on the
related Closing Date. In the event the Repurchase Price is deposited
in the Custodial Account, the Seller shall, simultaneously with its remittance
to the Servicer of such Repurchase Price for deposit, give written notice to
the
Purchaser that such deposit has taken place. Upon such repurchase,
the Seller shall amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the
withdrawal of the repurchased Mortgage Loan from this
Agreement.
-39-
As
to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall be deemed to have made the
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement except that all
such
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed
made
as of the date of such substitution. No substitution will be made in
any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The
Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Purchaser for each
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the
Assignment of Mortgage and such other documents and agreements as are required
by Subsection
6.03. The Seller shall remit to the Servicer for deposit in
the Custodial Account the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due on each
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan in the month following the date of such
substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall be retained by
the
Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Purchaser
shall include the Monthly Payment due on any 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 related 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, each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
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, as of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and
warranties set forth in Subsections 7.01
and 7.02.
For
any
month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall 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). The amount of such shortfall shall be remitted to the
Servicer by the Seller for distribution by the Servicer in the month of
substitution pursuant to Subsection 11.04. Accordingly,
on the date of such substitution, the Seller will remit to the Servicer from
its
own funds for deposit into the Custodial Account an amount equal to the amount
of such shortfall plus one month’s interest thereon at the Mortgage Loan
Remittance Rate.
In
addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, the Seller shall
indemnify the Purchaser and its present and former directors, officers,
employees and agents and any Successor Servicer and its present and former
directors, officers, employees and agents and hold such parties harmless against
any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses
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 representations and warranties contained in this Agreement
or any Reconstitution Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph,
“Purchaser” shall mean the Person then acting as the Purchaser under this
Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were “Purchasers” under this
Agreement and “Successor Servicer” shall mean any Person designated as the
Successor Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and any and all Persons who
previously were “Successor Servicers” pursuant to this Agreement. It
is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this
Subsection 7.03
to cure, repurchase or substitute for a
-40-
defective
Mortgage Loan, and to indemnify the Purchaser and Successor Servicer under
Subsection 12.01
constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser and Successor Servicer respecting
a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 7.01
and 7.02.
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
and 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, substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan,
or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above and (iii) demand upon
the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.
Subsection
7.04 Repurchase of Mortgage
Loans
with Early Payment Defaults. If the related Mortgagor is
delinquent with respect to any of the Mortgage Loan’s first three (3) Monthly
Payments at any time either (i) after origination of such Mortgage Loan, or
(ii) after the related Closing Date, the Seller, at the Purchaser’s option,
shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser at a price equal to
the
Repurchase Price. The Seller shall repurchase such delinquent
Mortgage Loan within thirty (30) days of such request.
Subsection
7.05 Premium
Recapture. With respect to any Mortgage Loan without
Prepayment Penalties that prepays in full during the first four months following
the related Closing Date, and with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is
repurchased pursuant to Subsection 7.04, the Seller shall pay the Purchaser,
within ten (10) Business Days after such prepayment in full or repurchase,
an
amount equal to the excess of the Purchase Price Percentage for such Mortgage
Loan over par, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage
Loan as of the related Cut-off Date.
Section
8. Closing. The
closing for the purchase and sale of each Mortgage Loan Package shall take
place
on the related Closing Date. At the Purchaser’s option, each closing
shall be either: by telephone, confirmed by letter or wire as the
parties shall agree, or conducted in person, at such place as the parties shall
agree. Each closing shall be subject to each of the following
conditions:
(a) at
least two Business Days prior to the related Closing Date, the Seller shall

(b) all

(c) the
Purchaser’s attorneys shall have received in escrow, all Closing Documents as

Section
11. Administration and
Servicing
of the Mortgage Loans.
Subsection
11.01 Servicer to Act
as
Servicer. The Servicer shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and Accepted Servicing
Procedures and the terms of the Mortgage Notes and Mortgages, and shall have
full power and authority, acting alone or through sub-servicers or agents,
to do
or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and
administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent
with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer may perform its
servicing responsibilities through agents or independent contractors, but shall
not thereby be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder.
Consistent
with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer 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; provided, however,
that (unless the
Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan, or such default
is,
in the judgment of the Servicer, imminent, and the Servicer has the consent
of
the Purchaser) the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect
to
any Mortgage Loan which materially and adversely affects the Mortgage Loan,
including without limitation, any modification that would defer or forgive
the
payment of any principal or interest, change the outstanding principal amount
(except for actual payments of principal), make any future advances, extend
the
final maturity date or change the Mortgage Interest Rate, as the case may be,
with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name
-43-
or
acting
through sub-servicers or agents is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Purchaser when the Servicer believes it appropriate and reasonable in its best
judgment, 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 the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings
or
obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such
properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf
of the Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of Subsection 11.12. The
Servicer shall make all required Servicing Advances and shall service and
administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal
law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided
to
them thereby. The Purchaser shall furnish to the Servicer any powers
of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable
the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this
Agreement.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser may at any time and
from time to time, in its sole discretion, upon written notice to the Seller,
with respect to (1) any REO Property or (2) all Mortgage Loans that are 90
or
more days delinquent as of the date of such notice and any Mortgage Loans that
subsequently become 90 or more days delinquent following the date of such notice
(for the purposes of this paragraph such Mortgage Loans, “Delinquent Mortgage
Loans”), either (i) terminate the Seller’s servicing obligations
hereunder with respect to such REO Properties and Delinquent Mortgage Loans,
upon reimbursement of any unremibursed advances owed to the Servicer and payment
of the termination fee referred to in Subsection 14.02,
or (ii) assume the absolute right to direct the Seller to take such actions
with respect to such REO Property and Delinquent Mortgage Loans as the Seller
would otherwise be able to undertake pursuant to Subsection 11.12. Upon
the effectiveness of any such termination of the Seller’s servicing obligations
with respect to any such REO Property or Delinquent Mortgage Loan, the Seller
shall deliver all agreements, documents, and instruments related thereto to
the
Purchaser, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Procedures and applicable
law
and shall transfer servicing to the Purchaser’s designee in accordance with
Acceptable Servicing Procedures.
If
a
REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the
Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held, the Servicer shall not take any
action, cause the REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause
to
be taken) any action, that under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken,
as
the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of the REMIC as a REMIC or
(ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including but not
limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in
Section 860(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on “contributions” to a REMIC set
forth in Section 860D of the Code) unless the Servicer has received an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action)
to
the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such REMIC status
or
result in the imposition of any tax on the REMIC.
Subsection
11.02 Liquidation of Mortgage
Loans. If 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 Servicer shall take
such action as it reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the
Purchaser. If any payment due under any
-44-
Mortgage
Loan remains delinquent for a period of ninety (90) days or more, the
Servicer shall commence foreclosure proceedings in accordance with the
guidelines set forth by Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. In such event, the
Servicer shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing
Advances.
Subsection
11.03 Collection of Mortgage
Loan
Payments. Continuously from the date hereof until the
principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Servicer
will
proceed diligently, in accordance with this Agreement, to collect all payments
due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and
payable. Further, the Servicer will in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Procedures ascertain and estimate taxes, assessments, fire and hazard
insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in any 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
11.04 Establishment of
Custodial
Account; Deposits in Custodial Account. The Servicer 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 (collectively, the “Custodial Account”),
titled “The Hemisphere National Bank, in trust for Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mortgage
Capital Inc. as Purchaser of Mortgage Loans and various
Mortgagors.” Such Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account
established with a commercial bank, a savings bank or a savings and loan
association (which may be a depository affiliate of the Servicer) which meets
the guidelines set forth by Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac as an eligible depository
institution for custodial accounts. In any case, the Custodial
Account shall be insured by the FDIC in a manner which shall provide maximum
available insurance thereunder and which may be drawn on by the
Servicer. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by
(i) a certification in the form of Exhibit 4
hereto, in the case of an account established with a depository affiliate of
the
Servicer, or (ii) a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit 5
hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than an affiliate
of the Servicer. In either case, a copy of such certification or
letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser upon request.
The
Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis on the Business
Day following receipt thereof, and retain therein the following payments and
collections received or made by it subsequent to the related Cut-off Date (other
than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before
the related Cut-off Date):
(a) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the
Mortgage Loans;
(b) all
payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the Mortgage
Loan Remittance Rate;
(c) all
Liquidation Proceeds;
(d) all
proceeds received by the Servicer under any title insurance policy, hazard
insurance policy, or other insurance policy other than proceeds to be held
in
the Escrow
-45-
Account
and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released
to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Procedures;
(e) all
awards or settlements in respect of condemnation proceedings or eminent domain
affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Procedures;
(f) any
amount required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsections 11.14,
11.16 and 11.18;
(g) any
amount required to be deposited by the Servicer in connection with any REO
Property pursuant to Subsection 11.12;
(h) any
amounts payable in connection with the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant
to Subsection 7.03,
and all amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer in connection with
shortfalls in principal amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant
to Subsection 7.03;
and
(i) with
respect to each Principal Prepayment, an amount (to be paid by the Servicer
out
of its own funds) which, when added to all amounts allocable to interest
received in connection with the Principal Prepayment, equals one month’s
interest on the amount of principal so prepaid for the month of prepayment
at
the applicable Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate; provided, however,
that the Servicer’s
aggregate obligations under this paragraph for any month shall be limited
to the total amount of Servicing Fees actually received with respect to the
Mortgage Loans by the Servicer during such month.
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, assumption fees
and
other ancillary fees need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial
Account.
The
Servicer may invest the funds in the Custodial Account in Eligible Investments
designated in the name of the Servicer for the benefit of the Purchaser, 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 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 Servicer shall advance funds on such Remittance Date,
pending receipt thereof to the extent necessary to make distributions to the
Owner) 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 Servicer and shall be subject to withdrawal by the
Servicer. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such
investments shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Servicer out
of
its own funds immediately as realized.
-46-
Subsection
11.05 Withdrawals From
the
Custodial Account. The Servicer shall, from time to time,
withdraw funds from the Custodial Account for the following
purposes:
(a) to
make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for
in
Subsection 11.14;
(b) to
reimburse itself for P&I Advances, the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself
pursuant to this subclause (b) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being
limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected
by
the Servicer from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan,
it
being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Servicer’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,
the Servicer’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to
the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to Subsection 7.03,
and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to
such
Mortgage Loan;
(c) to
reimburse itself for any unpaid Servicing Fees and for unreimbursed Servicing

Disposition Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer
from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being
understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Servicer’s right
thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser unless the Seller is
required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Subsection 7.03,
in which case the Servicer’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to
the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to Subsection 7.03
and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to
such
Mortgage Loan;
(d) to
reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and for xxxxxxxxxxxx
X&X Advances, in accordance with Subsection 11.16,
to the extent that such amounts are nonrecoverable by the Servicer pursuant
to
subclause (b) or (c) above, provided that the Mortgage Loan for

pursuant to Subsection 7.03;
(e) to
reimburse itself for expenses incurred by and reimbursable to it pursuant to

clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this
Agreement.

Subsection
11.06 Establishment of
Escrow
Account; Deposits in Escrow Account. The Servicer 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 (collectively, the “Escrow Account”),
titled “The Hemisphere National Bank, in trust for Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mortgage
Capital Inc. as Purchaser of Mortgage Loans and various
Mortgagors.” The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account
established with a commercial bank, a savings bank or a savings and loan
association (which may be a depository affiliate of Servicer), which meets
the
guidelines set forth by Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac as an eligible institution
for
escrow accounts. In any case, the Escrow Account shall be insured by
the FDIC in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder
and which may be drawn on by the Servicer. The creation of any Escrow
Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit 6
hereto, in the case of an account established with a depository affiliate of
the
Servicer, or by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit 7
hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository. In either
case, a copy of such certification or letter agreement shall be furnished to
the
Purchaser upon request.
The
Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account on a daily basis, and retain
therein: (a) 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 (b) all amounts
representing proceeds of any hazard insurance policy which are to be applied
to
the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property. The Servicer
shall make withdrawals therefrom only in accordance with Subsection 11.07. As
part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest
on funds in the Escrow Account, to the extent required by law.
Subsection
11.07 Withdrawals From
Escrow
Account. Withdrawals from the Escrow Account shall be made by
the Servicer only (a) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes,
assessments, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting
Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage, (b) to reimburse the Servicer for
any Servicing Advance made by Servicer pursuant to Subsection 11.08
with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, (c) to refund to any Mortgagor any
funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the
related Mortgage Loan, (d) for transfer to the Custodial Account upon
default of a Mortgagor or in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage
Loan and if permitted by Applicable Law, (e) for application to restore or
repair of the Mortgaged Property, (f) to pay to the Mortgagor, to the
extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow
Account, (g) to pay to itself any interest earned on funds deposited in the
Escrow Account (and not required to be paid to the Mortgagor), (h) to the
extent permitted under the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Applicable
Law, to pay late fees with respect to any Monthly Payment which is received
after the applicable grace period, (i) to withdraw suspense payments that
are deposited into the Escrow Account, (j) to withdraw any amounts
inadvertently deposited in the Escrow Account or (k) to clear and terminate
the Escrow Account upon the termination of this Agreement.
Subsection
11.08 Payment of Taxes,
Insurance
and Other Charges; Collections Thereunder. With respect to
each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting
the
status of ground rents, taxes, assessments and other charges
which
-48-
are
or
may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of 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 Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as
allowed under the terms of the Mortgage. If a Mortgage does not
provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments
are made by the Mortgagor. The Servicer assumes full responsibility
for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of
all
such bills irrespective of each Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment
of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances
to effect such payments, subject to its ability to recover such Servicing
Advances pursuant to Subsection 11.07(b). With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, on or before January 31st
of each year
during the term of this Agreement, beginning January 31, 2006, the Servicer
shall ensure that all taxes due during the prior calendar year have been paid
on
the related Mortgaged Property.
Subsection
11.09 Transfer of
Accounts. The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or
the Escrow Account to a different depository institution. Such
transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the prior written consent of the
Purchaser; such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
Subsection
11.10 Maintenance of Hazard
Insurance. The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage customary in
the
area where the Mortgaged Property is located that conforms to the requirements
of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area
identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
as
having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available)
the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the
requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall
maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage,
in an amount with respect to such hazards which is at least equal to the full
replacement cost of the improvements which are a part of such REO Property
and
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Owner with respect to liabilities in
connection therewith in an amount of at least $1 million per occurrence and
$2 million in the aggregate. Any amounts collected by the
Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the
Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject
to the related Mortgage or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage
Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Procedures) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Subsection 11.05. It
is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance need
be required by the Servicer of any Mortgagor or maintained on REO Property
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 policies
required hereunder shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss
payable to Servicer, and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days
prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change
in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere with
the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either its insurance carrier or
agent;
-49-
provided,
however,
that the Servicer
shall not accept any such insurance policies that do not conform to the
requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac.
Subsection
11.11 Fidelity Bond; Errors
and
Omissions Insurance. The Servicer shall maintain, at its own
expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy,
with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any
capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers
relating to the Mortgage Loans. These policies shall insure the
Servicer against losses resulting from dishonest or fraudulent acts committed
by
the Servicer’s personnel, any employees of outside firms that provide data
processing services for the Servicer, and temporary contract employees or
student interns. The Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure the
Servicer against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a
Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness
secured thereby. No provision of this Subsection 11.11
requiring such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish
or relieve the Servicer of its duties and obligations as set forth in this
Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such Fidelity Bond and
insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required
by Xxxxxx Mae in the Xxxxxx Xxx Servicing Guide or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx
Xxx Xxxxxxx’ & Servicers’ Guide, as amended or restated from time to
time, or in an amount as may be permitted to the Servicer by express waiver
of
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac.
Subsection
11.12 Title, Management
and
Disposition of REO Property. (a) If title to the
Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure,
the deed or certificate of sale shall, with the prior consent of the Owner,
be
taken in the name of the Servicer or its nominee, in either case as nominee,
for
the benefit of the Purchaser of record on the date of acquisition of title
(the
“Owner”). If
the Servicer is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property
in
the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected
under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the
deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons
as shall be consistent with an opinion of counsel obtained by the Servicer,
at
the expense of the Purchaser, from an attorney duly licensed to practice law
in
the state where the REO Property is located. The Person or Persons
holding such title other than the Owner shall acknowledge in writing that such
title is being held as nominee for the Owner.
The
Servicer shall cause to be deposited on a daily basis in the Custodial Account
all revenues received with respect to the conservation and disposition of the
related REO Property and shall, with the prior consent of the Owner, 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
and the fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the
Servicer. Any disbursement in excess of $1,000 shall be made only
with the written approval of the Purchaser. The Servicer shall make
distributions as required on each Remittance Date to the Purchaser of the net
cash flow from the REO Property (which shall equal the revenues from such REO
Property net of the expenses described above and of any reserves reasonably
required from time to time to be maintained to satisfy anticipated liabilities
for such expenses).
The
Servicer shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon
as
possible, but only with the prior consent of the Owner, and shall sell such
REO
Property in any
-50-
event
within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the
Servicer determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Owner to such
effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such
REO Property and the Owner consents to such extension. If a period
longer than one year is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary
to sell any REO Property, the Servicer shall report monthly to the Owner as
to
the progress being made in selling such REO Property.
The
disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price,
and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer reasonably believes to
be in
the best interests of the Owner. No REO Disposition shall be effected
without the prior consent of the Owner and in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices. The proceeds of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly
deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as practical thereafter,
the Servicer shall prepare for the Owner’s approval an itemized xxxx for the
expenses of such sale and upon the Owner’s approval of the items on such
itemized xxxx, the Servicer shall reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed
Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees made pursuant to this Section
and
so approved by the Owner, and on the Remittance Date immediately following
the
Principal Prepayment Period in which such sale proceeds are received the net
cash proceeds of such sale remaining in the Custodial Account shall be
distributed to the Owner.
With
respect to each REO Property, the Servicer shall hold all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of the REO Property in the Custodial
Account. The Servicer shall cause to be deposited on a daily basis
upon the receipt thereof in each Custodial Account all revenues received with
respect to the conservation and disposition of the related REO
Property.
The
Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for
the
Owner solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The
Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer,
with
the prior consent of the Owner, manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO
Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates
other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that
similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is
managed. The Servicer, at Owner’s expense, shall reasonably cooperate
with the Owner’s request to transfer the management of any REO Property to a
third party vendor. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same on
such terms and conditions as the Servicer reasonably believes to be in the
best
interest of the Owner. No termination fees will be payable to the
Servicer in connection with any such sale.
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 Servicer 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.
Upon
request, with respect to any REO Property, the Servicer shall furnish to the
Owner a statement covering the Servicer’s efforts in connection with the sale of
that REO
-51-
Property
and any rental of the REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the
previous month (together with an operating statement).
(b) Together
with the statement furnished pursuant to Subsection 11.12(a), the Servicer
shall
furnish to the Owner on or before the 5th Business Day of each month a statement
with respect to any REO Property covering the operation of such REO Property
for
the previous month and the Servicer’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. That statement shall be accompanied
by such other information as the Owner shall reasonably request, including
all
of the information fields set forth on Exhibit 17.
(c) Following
the foreclosure sale or abandonment of any Mortgaged Property, the Servicer
shall report such foreclosure or abandonment as required pursuant to Section
6050J of the Code.
Subsection
11.13 Servicing
Compensation. As compensation for its services hereunder, the
Servicer shall be entitled to retain the Servicing Fee from interest payments
on
the Mortgage Loans. Additional servicing compensation in the form of
assumption fees, late payment charges and other ancillary income shall be
retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the
Custodial Account. The Servicer 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
herein.
Subsection
11.14 Distributions. On
each Remittance Date the Servicer shall remit by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the account designated in writing by the Purchaser of record
on the preceding Record Date (a) all Monthly Payments due in the Due Period
relating to such Remittance Date and received by the Servicer prior to the
related Determination Date, plus (b) all amounts, if any, which the
Servicer is obligated to distribute pursuant to Subsection 11.16,
plus (c) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments received in the
calendar month preceding the month in which the Remittance Date occurs, together
with any additional interest required to be deposited in the Custodial Account
in connection with such Principal Prepayments in accordance with Subsection 11.04(i),
minus (d) all amounts that may be withdrawn from the Custodial Account
pursuant to Subsections 11.05(b)
through (e).
With
respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Business Day
on
which such payment was due, the Servicer 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 three percent (3.0%), but in no event greater
than
the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall
be paid by the Servicer to the Purchaser on the date such late payment is made
and shall cover the period commencing with the Business Day on which such
payment was due and ending with the Business Day immediately preceding the
Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. The
payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension
of
time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the
Servicer.
Subsection
11.15 Statements to the
Purchaser. Not later than the 10th
calendar day of
each month (or, if such 10th
day is not a
Business Day, the following Business
-52-
Day),
the
Servicer shall forward to the Purchaser in hard copy and electronic format
mutually acceptable to the Purchaser and the Seller, a statement, substantially
in the form of, and containing the information fields set forth on, Exhibit 9 and
certified by a Servicing Officer. Such statement shall also
include information regarding delinquencies on Mortgage Loans, indicating
the number and aggregate principal amount of Mortgage Loans which are either
one
(1), two (2) or three (3) or more months delinquent and the book value of any
REO Property. The Servicer shall submit to the Purchaser monthly a
liquidation report with respect to each Mortgaged Property sold in a foreclosure
sale as of the related Record Date and not previously reported. Such
liquidation report shall be incorporated into the remittance report delivered
to
Purchaser in the form of Exhibit 9
hereto.
The
Servicer shall furnish to the Purchaser an individual loan accounting report
in
hard copy and electronic format mutually acceptable to the Purchaser and the
Seller, as of the last Business Day of each month, in the Purchaser’s assigned
loan number order (provided that such loan numbers previously have been provided
in writing by the Purchaser to the Servicer) to document Mortgage Loan payment
activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis. With respect to each
month, the corresponding individual loan accounting report shall be received
by
the Purchaser no later than the fifth Business Day of the following month,
which
report shall contain the following:
(i) with
respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to
principal (including a separate breakdown of any Principal Prepayment, including
the date of such prepayment, along with a detailed report of interest on
principal prepayment amounts remitted in accordance with Subsection 11.14);
(ii) with
respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to
interest; and
(iii) the
next actual due date for each Mortgage Loan.
In
addition, within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar
year, the Servicer will furnish a report to each Person that was a Purchaser
at
any time during such calendar year. Such report shall state the
aggregate of amounts distributed to the Purchaser for such calendar
year. Such obligation of the Servicer shall be deemed to have been
satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be
provided by the Servicer pursuant to any requirements of the Code.
The
Servicer 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 the Purchaser pursuant to any Applicable Law with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the
Servicer shall provide the Purchaser with such information concerning the
Mortgage Loans as is necessary for such Purchaser to prepare federal income
tax
returns as the Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time.
Subsection
11.16 Advances by the
Servicer. On the Business Day immediately preceding each
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall either (a) deposit in the Custodial
Account from its own funds an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all
Monthly
-53-
Payments
(with interest adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate) which were due
on
the Mortgage Loans during the applicable Due Period and which were delinquent
at
the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date (each
such
advance, a “P&I
Advance”), (b) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records
of the Custodial Account that amounts held for future distribution have been,
as
permitted by this Subsection 11.16,
used by the Servicer in discharge of any such P&I Advance or (c) make
P&I Advances in the form of any combination of (a) or
(b) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be
made. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be
replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Custodial Account on or before any
future Remittance Date if funds in the Custodial Account on such Remittance
Date
shall be less than payments to the Purchaser required to be made on such
Remittance Date. The Servicer’s obligation to make P&I Advances
as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due
prior
to the payment in full of a Mortgage Loan, or through the last Remittance Date
prior to the Remittance Date for the distribution of all other payments or
recoveries (including proceeds under any title, hazard or other insurance
policy, or condemnation awards) with respect to a Mortgage Loan; provided, however,
that such obligation
shall cease (i) for any Mortgage Loan and on any Remittance Date that the
distribution of all Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or recoveries
(including Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) occurs with respect
to
such Mortgage Loan or (ii) if the Servicer, in its good faith judgment,
determines that P&I Advances would not be recoverable pursuant to Subsection 11.05(d). The
determination by the Servicer that a P&I Advance, if made, would be
nonrecoverable, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer,
delivered to the Purchaser, which details the reasons for such
determination.
Subsection
11.17 Assumption
Agreements. The Servicer will use its best efforts to enforce
any “due-on-sale” provision contained in any Mortgage or Mortgage Note, provided
that the Servicer shall permit such assumption if so required in accordance
with
the terms of the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged
Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer will, to the extent
it
has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity
of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto;
provided, however,
the Servicer will
not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. In
connection with any such assumption, the outstanding principal amount, the
Monthly Payment or the Mortgage Interest Rate of the related Mortgage Note
shall
not be changed, and the term of the Mortgage Loan will not be increased or
decreased. If an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Subsection 11.17,
the Servicer is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement
with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original
Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property
is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage
Note.
Subsection
11.18 Satisfaction of
Mortgages
and Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the payment in full of any
Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment
in
full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer
will
obtain the portion of the Mortgage File that is in the possession of the
Purchaser or its designee, prepare and process any required satisfaction or
release of the Mortgage and notify the Purchaser in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement. The Purchaser agrees to deliver to the
Servicer the original Mortgage Note for any Mortgage Loan not later than three
(3) Business Days following its receipt of a notice from the Servicer that
such a payment in full has been received or that a notification has been
received that such a payment in full shall be
made. Such
-54-
Mortgage
Note shall be held by the Servicer, in trust, for the purpose of canceling
such
Mortgage Note and delivering the cancelled Mortgage Note to the Mortgagor in
a
timely manner as and to the extent provided under applicable state
law. If the Mortgage has been recorded in the name of MERS or its
designee, the Servicer shall take all necessary action to effect the release
of
the Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS.
If
the
Servicer grants a satisfaction or release of a Mortgage without having obtained
payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should the
Servicer otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage
instruments, the Servicer, upon written demand of the Purchaser, shall remit
to
the Purchaser the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan by
deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Fidelity Bond shall
insure the Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage
Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth
herein.
Subsection
11.19 Annual Statement
as to
Compliance. The Servicer shall deliver to the Purchaser on or
before March 10th
of each year
beginning March 10, 2006, an Officer’s Certificate stating that (i) a
review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year
and
if performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s
supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on
such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all 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 and the action being taken by the Servicer to cure
such default.
The
obligations of the Servicer under this Section 11.19
apply to the Servicer for any year in which the Servicer during the prior
calendar year (or any portion thereof) serviced a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this
Agreement, whether or not the Servicer is acting as the servicer at the time
such statement is required to be delivered.
Subsection
11.20 Annual Independent
Public
Accountants’ Servicing Report or Attestation. On or before
March 10th
of each year
beginning March 10, 2006, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a firm
of
independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute
of
Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Purchaser to the
effect that such firm has, with respect to the Servicer’s overall servicing
operations, examined such operations in accordance with the requirements of
the
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, stating such firm’s
conclusions relating thereto.
The
obligations of the Servicer under this Section 11.20
apply to the Servicer for any year in which the Servicer during the prior
calendar year (or any portion thereof) serviced a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this
Agreement, whether or not the Servicer is acting as the servicer at the time
such statement is required to be delivered.
Subsection
11.21 Servicer Shall Provide
Access and Information as Reasonably Required. The Servicer
shall provide to the Purchaser, and for any Purchaser insured by FDIC or NAIC,
the supervisory agents and examiners of FDIC and OTS or NAIC, access to any
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans which may be required by
applicable
-55-
regulations. Such
access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request,
during normal business hours and at the offices of the Servicer.
In
addition, the Servicer shall furnish upon request by the Purchaser, during
the
term of this Agreement, such periodic, special or other reports or information,
whether or not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable and
appropriate with respect to the purposes of this Agreement and applicable
regulations. All such reports or information shall be provided by and
in accordance with all reasonable instructions and directions the Purchaser
may
require. The Servicer 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 purposes and to carry out the
terms of this Agreement.
Subsection
11.22 Transfer of
Servicing. On the related Transfer Date, if any, the
Purchaser, or its designee, shall assume all servicing responsibilities related
to, and the Seller cease all servicing responsibilities related to, the related
Mortgage Loans subject to such Transfer Date. On or prior to the
related Transfer Date, the Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, take
such
steps as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and evidence the transfer
of the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, or its
designee, including but not limited to the following:
(a) Notice

Mortgagors. The Seller shall mail to the Mortgagor of each
related Mortgage Loan a letter advising such Mortgagor of the transfer of the
servicing of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser, or its designee, in
accordance with the Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx National Affordable Housing Act of 1990,
as amended; provided,
however,
the content
and format of the letter shall have the prior approval of the
Purchaser. The Seller shall provide the Purchaser with copies of all
such related notices no later than the related Transfer Date.
(b) Notice
to Taxing Authorities
and Insurance Companies. The Seller shall transmit to the
applicable taxing authorities and insurance companies (including primary
mortgage insurance policy insurers, if applicable) and/or agents, notification
of the transfer of the servicing to the Purchaser, or its designee, and
instructions to deliver all notices, tax bills and insurance statements, as
the
case may be, to the Purchaser from and after the related Transfer
Date. The Seller shall provide the Purchaser with copies of all such
notices no later than the related Transfer Date.
(c) Delivery
of Servicing
Records. The Seller shall forward to the Purchaser, or its
designee, all servicing records and the Servicing File in the Seller’s
possession relating to each related Mortgage Loan.
(d) Escrow

of
any agency, trustee or prepaid Mortgage Loan payments and all other similar
amounts held by the Seller.
(e) Payoffs

(g) Mortgage
Payments Received
after Transfer Date. The amount of any related Monthly
Payments received by the Seller after the related Transfer Date shall be
forwarded to the Purchaser by overnight mail on the date of receipt or by wire
transfer on the next succeeding Business Day. The Seller shall notify
the Purchaser of the particulars of the payment, which notification requirement
shall be satisfied if the Seller forwards with its payment sufficient
information to permit appropriate processing of the payment by the
Purchaser. The Seller shall assume full responsibility for the
necessary and appropriate legal application of such Monthly Payments received
by
the Seller after the related Transfer Date with respect to related Mortgage
Loans then in foreclosure or bankruptcy; provided, for purposes of this
Agreement, necessary and appropriate legal application of such Monthly Payments
shall include, but not be limited to, endorsement of a Monthly Payment to the
Purchaser with the particulars of the payment such as the account number, dollar
amount, date received and any special Mortgagor application instructions and
the
Seller shall comply with the foregoing requirements with respect to all Monthly
Payments received by the Seller after the related Transfer Date.
(h) Misapplied
Payments. Misapplied payments shall be processed as
follows:
(i) All
parties shall cooperate in correcting misapplication errors;
(ii) The
party receiving notice of a misapplied payment occurring prior to the related
Transfer Date and discovered after such Transfer Date shall immediately notify
the other party;
(iii) If
a misapplied payment which occurred prior to the related Transfer Date cannot
be
identified and said misapplied payment has resulted in a shortage in a Custodial
Account or Escrow Account, the Seller shall be liable for the amount of such
shortage. The Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser for the amount of
such shortage within thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand
therefor from the Purchaser;
(iv) If
a misapplied payment which occurred prior to the related Transfer Date has
created an improper Purchase Price as the result of an inaccurate outstanding
principal balance, a check shall be issued to the party shorted by the improper
payment application within five (5) Business Days after notice thereof by
the other party; and
(v) Any
check issued under the provisions of this Section 11.22(h)
shall be accompanied by a statement indicating the corresponding Seller and/or
the Purchaser
-57-
Mortgage
Loan identification number and an explanation of the allocation of any such
payments.
(i) Books
and
Records. On the related Transfer Date, the books, records and
accounts of the Seller with respect to the related Mortgage Loans shall be
in
accordance with all applicable Purchaser requirements.
(j) Reconciliation. The
Seller shall, on or before the related Transfer Date, reconcile principal
balances and make any monetary adjustments required by the
Purchaser. Any such monetary adjustments will be transferred between
the Seller and the Purchaser as appropriate.
(k) IRS
Forms. The Seller shall file or shall cause to be filed all
IRS forms 1099, 1099A, 1098 or 1041 and K-1 which are required to be filed
on or
before the related Transfer Date in relation to the servicing and ownership
of
the related Mortgage Loans. The Seller shall provide copies of such
forms to the Purchaser upon request and shall reimburse the Purchaser for any
costs or penalties incurred by the Purchaser due to the Seller’s failure to
comply with this paragraph.
(l) Mortgage
Loans in
Foreclosure. The servicing with respect to Mortgage Loans in
foreclosure on or before the related Transfer Date shall not be transferred
from
the Servicer to the Purchaser or its designee, as the case may be, and such
Mortgage Loans shall continue to be serviced by the Servicer pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement. However, if the Purchaser so elects, the
Purchaser may waive the provisions of this paragraph and accept transfer of
servicing of such Mortgage Loans and all amounts received by the Servicer
thereunder.
(m) Servicing
Advances. Notwithstanding the fact that the related Transfer
Date has occurred, the Servicer shall not be reimbursed for any Servicing
Advances in relation to any Mortgage Loan until the Servicer or the successor
servicer receives a Monthly Payment or Liquidation Proceeds in relation to
such
Mortgage Loan. At such time, the Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed for all unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to such Mortgage
Loan on a first priority basis from the Monthly Payment or Liquidation Proceeds
received with respect to such Mortgage Loan. This clause shall
survive each Transfer Date.
Subsection
11.23 Notification of
Maturity
Date. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall
execute and deliver to the Mortgagor any and all necessary notices required
under Applicable Law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage
regarding the maturity date if required under Applicable Law.
Subsection
11.24 Notification of
Adjustments. With respect to each ARM Mortgage Loan, Seller
shall adjust the Mortgage Interest Rate on the related Interest Rate Adjustment
Date and shall adjust the Monthly Payment on the related Payment Adjustment
Date
in compliance with the requirements of Applicable Law and the related Mortgage
and Mortgage Note. If, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note,
another index is selected for determining the Mortgage Interest Rate because
the
original index is no longer available, the same index will be used with respect
to each Mortgage Note which requires a new index to be selected, provided that
such selection does not conflict with the terms of the related Mortgage
Note. Seller shall
-58-
execute
and deliver any and all necessary notices required under Applicable Law and
the
terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest
Rate and the Monthly Payment adjustments. Seller shall promptly, upon
written request therefor, deliver to the Purchaser such notifications and any
additional applicable data regarding such adjustments and the methods used
to
calculate and implement such adjustments. Upon the discovery by
Seller or the Purchaser that Seller has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest
Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note
and
Mortgage, Seller shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account, from its
own funds, the amount of any interest loss caused the Purchaser thereby without
reimbursement therefor.
Subsection
11.25 Availability of
Information. So long as the Servicer is acting as servicer for
any Mortgage Loans under this Agreement, the Servicer shall provide the
Purchaser with such information with respect to the Servicer’s servicing
portfolio as the Servicer and the Purchaser shall agree upon. Such
information shall be sent to the Purchaser each month in an extractable
electronic format, in a form convenient to the Purchaser and the
Servicer.
Section
12. The
Servicer.
Subsection
12.01 Indemnification;
Third Party
Claims. The Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold the
Purchaser and any Successor Servicer and their respective present and former
directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from any and all claims,
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses
(including, without limitation, any legal fees and expenses, judgments or
expenses relating to such liability, claim, loss or damage) and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that such parties may sustain
in any way related to the Servicer’s failure (as a result of any act or omission
of the Servicer):
(a) to
observe and perform any or all of Servicer’s duties, obligations, covenants,
agreements, warranties or representations contained in this Agreement or in
the
related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement; or
(b) to
comply with all applicable requirements contained in this Agreement or the
related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement with respect to the servicing of
the
Mortgage Loan or the transfer of Servicing Rights (but only if such claim for
indemnification is in any way the result of any act or omission of the Servicer
which occurred prior to the related Transfer Date or in conjunction with the
transfer of Servicing Rights).
The
Servicer immediately shall notify the Purchaser if a claim is made by a third
party with respect to this Agreement.
For
purposes of this Section, “Purchaser” shall mean the Person then acting as the
Purchaser under this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were
“Purchasers” under this Agreement and “Successor Servicer” shall mean any Person
designated as the Successor Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and any and
all
Persons who previously were “Successor Servicers” pursuant to this
Agreement.
If
any
action is commenced for which indemnification may be available under this Subsection 12.01 of
which an indemnified party has notice, promptly after receipt by
such
-59-
indemnified
party under this Subsection 12.01
of notice of the commencement of such action, such indemnified party will,
if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under
this
Subsection 12.01,
notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying
party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this
Subsection 12.01,
except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect, or
from any liability which it may have, otherwise than under this Subsection 12.01. In
case any such action is brought against any 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 elect by
written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving
the
aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof,
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided that
if
the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or them and/or other
indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available
to
the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right
to
select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise
participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party
or
parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and
approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not
be
liable to such indemnified party for expenses incurred by the indemnified party
in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party
shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal
defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it
being
understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the
expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with one local counsel,
if
applicable)), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified
party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or
(iii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of
counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party;
and
except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability
shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such
clause (i) or (iii).
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall a termination
of
this Agreement or the Servicer hereunder terminate any indemnification
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, which obligations shall
survive any such termination.
Subsection
12.02 Merger or Consolidation
of
the Servicer. The Seller will keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises under the laws of its jurisdiction of
incorporation or organization, and will obtain and preserve its qualification
to
do business in each other 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, 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
-60-
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 to service mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac.
Subsection
12.03 Limitation on Liability
of
the Servicer and Others. The duties and obligations of the
Servicer shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement,
the Servicer 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
Servicer. Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers,
employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the
Purchaser for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action
in accordance with Accepted Servicing Procedures and otherwise in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided, however,
that this provision
shall not protect the Servicer against any liability resulting from any breach
of any representation or warranty made herein, or from any liability
specifically imposed on the Servicer herein; and, provided,
further, that this provision
shall not protect the Servicer against any liability that would otherwise be
imposed by reason of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of the obligations
or
duties hereunder. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Servicer may rely on any document of any kind which it in good
faith reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been adopted or signed
by
the proper authorities respecting any matters arising
hereunder. Subject to the terms of Subsection 12.01, the
Servicer shall have no obligation to appear with respect to, prosecute or defend
any legal action which is not incidental to the Servicer’s duty to service the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement.
Subsection
12.04 Seller and Servicer
Not to
Resign. With respect to the retention of the Seller to 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,
neither Seller nor Servicer shall 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 shall be
granted or withheld in the Purchaser’s sole discretion or upon the determination
that the Servicer’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under Applicable
Law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such
determination permitting the unilateral resignation of the 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 acceptable to the
Purchaser. No such resignation or assignment shall become effective
until a successor has assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations
hereunder in accordance with Subsection 14.03.
Subsection
12.05 Inspection and Audit
Rights. The Servicer agrees that it will permit any
representative of the Purchaser, at any time during the Servicer’s normal
business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other
papers of the
-61-
Servicer
relating to the Mortgage Loans, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause
such books to be audited by independent certified public accountants selected
by
the Purchaser and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts relating to
such
Mortgage Loans with the officers, employees and independent public accountants
of the Servicer (and by this provision the Servicer hereby authorizes said
accountants to discuss with such representative such affairs, finances and
accounts). Any reasonable out-of-pocket expense of a Servicer
incident to the exercise by the Purchaser of any right under this
Section 12.05 shall be borne by the Servicer.
Nothing
in this Section 12.05 shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to observe
any Applicable Law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the
Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in
this
Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of
this Section. Nothing in this Section 12.05 shall require the
Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information
that
it does not generate in its usual course of business. The Servicer
shall not be required to make copies of or to ship documents to any Person
who
is not a party to this Agreement, and then only if provisions have been made
for
the reimbursement of the costs thereof.
Section
13. Default.
Subsection
13.01 Events of
Default. In case one or more of the following Events of
Default by the Servicer shall occur and be continuing:
(a) any
failure by the Servicer 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 (1) Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Servicer by the Purchaser;
(b) failure
by the Servicer to duly observe or perform, in any material respect, any other
covenants, obligations or agreements of the Servicer as set forth in this
Agreement (except as otherwise provided in Subsection 34.07)
which failure continues unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days
(or, in the case of (i) the annual statement of compliance required under
Subsection 11.19,
(ii) the annual independent public accountants’ servicing report or
attestation required under Subsection 11.20,
or (iii) the certification required under Section 15 in the form of
Exhibit 16, five (5) days) after the date on which written notice of
such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Servicer by the Purchaser;
(c) 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 Servicer and such decree or order
shall have remained in force, undischarged or unstayed for a period of
sixty (60) days;
(d) the
Servicer 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 Servicer
or
relating to all or substantially all of the Servicer’s
property;
-62-
(e) the
Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts 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
(f) the
Servicer ceases to meet the qualifications of either a Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac
servicer, or of HUD, or fails any OTS examination in connection with its
servicing activities, which status continues uncured for a period of thirty
(30)
days.
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 Servicer, may, in addition
to whatever rights the Purchaser may have at law or equity to damages, including
injunctive relief and specific performance, commence termination of all the
rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the
Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. Upon receipt by the Servicer
of such written notice from the Purchaser stating that it intends to terminate
the Servicer as a result of such Event of Default, all authority and power
of
the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans
or
otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant
to
Subsection 14.03. Upon
written request from the Purchaser, the Servicer shall, in accordance with
Subsection 11.22
prepare, execute and deliver to a successor any and all documents and other
instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Mortgage Files and do or
cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect
the
purposes of such notice of termination, including, but not limited to, the
transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related
documents to the successor at the Servicer’s sole expense. The
Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting
the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder,
including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration
by it of all amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to
the
Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to
the
Mortgage Loans.
Subsection
13.02 Waiver of
Defaults. The Purchaser may waive any default by the Servicer
in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its
consequences. Upon any 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 thereto except to the extent expressly so waived.
Section
14. Termination.
Subsection
14.01 Termination. The
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, as servicer, shall
terminate upon (a) the distribution to the Purchaser of the final payment
or liquidation with respect to the last Mortgage Loan (or advances of same
by
the Servicer); (b) the disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the last Mortgage
Loan and the remittance of all funds due hereunder or (c) by mutual consent
of the Servicer and the Purchaser in writing. Upon written request
from the Purchaser in connection with any such termination, the Servicer 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
-63-
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 Purchaser’s sole expense. The
Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting
the termination of the Servicer’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 Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received
with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Subsection
14.02 Termination of the
Servicer
Without Cause. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, upon 45 days prior written notice from Purchaser to Servicer, the
Purchaser may terminate the obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer
in
its capacity as Servicer, without cause, upon payment to the Servicer of a
termination fee equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the date of such
termination. No such termination fee shall be payable in connection
with any termination pursuant to Subsections 11.01 or
11.12(a). The
termination fee provided for in this Subsection 14.02
shall be paid by the Purchaser on the applicable Transfer Date.
Subsection
14.03 Successors to the
Servicer. Prior to the termination of the Servicer’s
responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Subsections 12.04,
13.01,
14.01 or
14.02,
the
Purchaser shall, (a) succeed to and assume all of the Servicer’s
responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement or
(b) appoint a successor which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of
the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this
Agreement upon such termination. 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. If the Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities
under this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned
Subsections, the Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities
during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until
the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which
it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action
whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition
of
its successor. The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to
the aforementioned Subsections shall not become effective until a successor
shall be appointed pursuant to this Subsection 14.03 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,
it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Subsections 7.01
and 7.02 shall
be applicable to the Seller notwithstanding any such resignation or termination
of the Servicer, or the termination of this Agreement.
Any
successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to
the Servicer 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 Servicer, with
like
effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any
termination or resignation of the Servicer or this Agreement pursuant to Subsections 12.04,
13.01,
14.01
or 14.02 shall not
affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against the Servicer arising
prior
to any such termination or resignation.
-64-
Upon
a
successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Servicer shall notify by mail
the Purchaser of such appointment.
Section
15. Cooperation of Seller
with a
Reconstitution. The Seller and the Purchaser agree that with
respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, after the related Closing Date,
on
one or more dates (each, a “Reconstitution Date”)
at the Purchaser’s sole option, the Purchaser may effect a sale (each, a “Reconstitution”) of
some or all of the Mortgage Loans then subject to this Agreement, without
recourse, to:
(a) Xxxxxx
Xxx under its Cash Purchase Program or MBS Program (Special Servicing Option)
(each, a “Xxxxxx Mae
Transfer”); or
(b) Xxxxxxx
Mac (the “Xxxxxxx Mac
Transfer”); or
(c) one
or more third party purchasers in one or more Whole Loan Transfers;
or
(d) one
or more trusts or other entities to be formed as part of one or more
Securitization Transactions.
The
Seller agrees to execute in connection with any Agency Transfer, any and all
reasonably acceptable pool purchase contracts, and/or agreements among the
Purchaser, the Seller, Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac (as the case may be) and any
servicer in connection with a Whole Loan Transfer, a seller’s warranties and
servicing agreement or a participation and servicing agreement in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to the parties, and in connection with a
Securitization Transaction, a pooling and servicing agreement in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to the parties or an Assignment and Recognition
Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 15
(collectively, the agreements referred to herein are designated, the “Reconstitution
Agreements”), together with an opinion of counsel with respect to such
Reconstitution Agreements.
With
respect to each Whole Loan Transfer and each Securitization Transaction entered
into by the Purchaser, the Seller agrees (1) to cooperate fully with the
Purchaser and any prospective purchaser with respect to all reasonable requests
and due diligence procedures; (2) to execute, deliver and perform all
Reconstitution Agreements required by the Purchaser; and (3) to restate the
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement as of the settlement
or closing date in connection with such Reconstitution or make the
representations and warranties set forth in the related selling/servicing guide
of the servicer or issuer, as the case may be, or such representations or
warranties as may be required by any rating agency or prospective purchaser
of
the related securities or such Mortgage Loans, in connection with such
Reconstitution. The Seller shall provide to such servicer or issuer,
as the case may be, and any other participants or purchasers in such
Reconstitution: (i) any and all information and appropriate
verification of information which may be reasonably available to the Seller
or
its affiliates, whether through letters of its auditors and counsel or
otherwise, as the Purchaser or any such other participant shall request;
(ii) such additional representations, warranties, covenants, opinions of
counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers
of the Seller or the Servicer as are reasonably believed necessary by the
Purchaser or any
-65-
such
other participant (including, without limitation, such revisions to this
Agreement relating to the servicing of REO Property and the provision of
remittance reports as the Purchaser may reasonably believe to be necessary
to
enable such servicer to fulfill its master servicing obligations) and
(iii) to execute, deliver and satisfy all conditions set forth in any
indemnity agreement required by the Purchaser or any such participant,
including, without limitation, an Indemnification and Contribution Agreement
in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3. Moreover,
the Seller agrees to cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the
Purchaser to effect such Reconstitution Agreements. The Seller shall
indemnify the Purchaser, each Affiliate of the Purchaser participating in the
Reconstitution, each Person who controls the Purchaser or such Affiliate and
each underwriter and initial purchaser participating in the Reconstitution,
and
their respective present and former directors, officers, employees and agents,
and hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and
any other costs, fees and expenses that each of them may sustain in any way
related to any information provided by or on behalf of the Seller regarding
the
Seller or the Servicer, the Seller’s or the Servicer’s servicing practices or
the performance of the Mortgage Loans or the Underwriting Guidelines set forth
in any offering document prepared in connection with any
Reconstitution. For purposes of the previous sentence, “Purchaser”
shall mean the Person then acting as the Purchaser under this Agreement and
any
and all Persons who previously were “Purchasers” under this
Agreement.
With
respect to any Mortgage Loans sold in a Securitization Transaction in which
the
Servicer is the servicer, the Servicer agrees that on or before March 1st of
each year beginning March 1, 2006, the Servicer shall deliver to the depositor,
the master servicer (if any) and the trustee for the securitization trust in
the
Securitization Transaction, and their officers, directors and affiliates, a
certification in the form attached as Exhibit 16
hereto, executed by the senior officer in charge of servicing at the Servicer
for use in connection with any Form 10-K to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission with respect to the securitization trust. The
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the depositor, the master servicer
(if any) and the trustee, and their respective officers, directors and
Affiliates, from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and
expenses arising out of or based upon any breach of the Servicer’s obligations
under this paragraph or any material misstatement or omission, negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection
therewith. If the indemnification provided for in the preceding
sentence is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any indemnified party,
then the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities of such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate
to
reflect the relative fault of such indemnified party, on the one hand, and
the
Servicer, on the other, in connection with a breach of the Servicer’s
obligations under this paragraph or any material misstatement or omission,
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection
therewith.
All
Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Reconstitution shall remain

Section
17. Severability
Clause. 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
18. No
Partnership. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or
construed to create a co-partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto
and the services of the Servicer shall be rendered as an independent contractor
and not as agent for the Purchaser.
Section
19. 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
20. Governing Law Jurisdiction;
Consent to Service of Process. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED
IN EFFECT WHEN A FULLY EXECUTED
-68-
COUNTERPART
THEREOF IS RECEIVED BY THE PURCHASER IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL BE
DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THIS AGREEMENT
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING
EFFECT TO ITS CHOICE OF LAW RULES AND PRINCIPLES. EACH OF THE
PURCHASER AND THE SELLER IRREVOCABLY (I) SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION
OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF
ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT; (II) WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM IN ANY ACTION
OR
PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT; (III) AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY ACTION
OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN
ANY
OTHER JURISDICTION BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED
BY
LAW; AND (IV) CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON IT BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF
BY CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO IT AS PROVIDED FOR NOTICES
HEREUNDER.
Section
21. Mandatory Delivery;
Grant of
Security Interest. The sale and delivery on the related
Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the related Mortgage Loan
Schedule is mandatory from and after the date of the execution of the related
Purchase Price and Terms Agreement, 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 Purchaser
for
the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser (including damages to
prospective purchasers of the Mortgage Loans) in the event of the Seller’s
failure to deliver (i) each of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) one
or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans or (iii) one or more Mortgage
Loans otherwise acceptable to the Purchaser on or before the related Closing
Date. The Seller hereby grants to the 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 obligations under the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement,
and the Seller agrees that it shall hold such Mortgage Loans in custody for
the
Purchaser subject to the Purchaser’s (i) right to reject any Mortgage Loan
(or Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan) under the terms of this Agreement and
to
require another Mortgage Loan (or Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan) to be
substituted therefor, and (ii) obligation to pay the 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
22. Intention of the
Parties. It is the intention of the parties that the 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. Moreover, the arrangement under which the Mortgage
Loans are held shall be consistent with classification of such arrangement
as a
grantor trust in the event it is not found to represent direct ownership of
the
Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall have the right to review the
Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Files to determine
the
-69-
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 Purchaser in the course of such review.
Section
23. 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 permitted
successors and assigns of the Seller and the successors and assigns of the
Purchaser. This Agreement shall not be assigned, pledged or
hypothecated by the Seller to a third party without the prior written consent
of
the Purchaser, which consent may be withheld by the Purchaser in its sole
discretion. This Agreement may be assigned, pledged or hypothecated
by the Purchaser in whole or in part, and with respect to one or more of the
Mortgage Loans, without the consent of the Seller. There shall be no
limitation on the number of assignments or transfers allowable by the Purchaser
with respect to the Mortgage Loans and this Agreement. In the event
the Purchaser assigns this Agreement, and the assignee assumes any of the
Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, the Seller acknowledges and agrees to look
solely to such assignee, and not to the Purchaser, for performance of the
obligations so assumed and the Purchaser shall be relieved from any liability
to
the Seller with respect thereto.
Section
24. 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
25. Exhibits. The
exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and
are an integral part of this Agreement.

Section
27. Reproduction of
Documents. This Agreement and all documents relating thereto,
including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications
which may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any party at the
closing, and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information
previously or hereafter furnished, may be reproduced by any photographic,
photostatic, microfilm, micro-card, miniature photographic or other similar
process. The parties hereto agree that any such reproduction shall be
admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative
proceeding, whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not
such
reproduction was made by a party hereto in the regular course of business,
and
that any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction
shall likewise be admissible in evidence.
Section
28. Amendment. This
Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Purchaser, the Seller and
the
Servicer by written agreement signed by the parties hereto.
Section
29. Confidentiality. Each
of the Purchaser, the Seller and the Servicer shall employ proper procedures
and
standards designed to maintain the confidential nature of the terms of this
Agreement, except to the extent: (a) the disclosure of which is
reasonably believed by such party to be required in connection with regulatory
requirements or other legal requirements relating to its affairs;
(b) disclosed to any one or more of such party’s employees, officers,
directors, agents, attorneys or accountants who would have access to the
contents of this Agreement and such data and information in the normal course
of
the performance of such Person’s duties for such party, to the extent such party
has procedures in effect to inform such Person of the confidential nature
thereof; (c) that is disclosed in a prospectus, prospectus supplement or
private placement memorandum relating to a securitization of the Mortgage Loans
by the Purchaser (or an affiliate assignee thereof) or to any Person in
connection with the resale or proposed resale of all or a portion of the
Mortgage Loans by such party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
and
(d) that is reasonably believed by such party to be necessary for the
enforcement of such party’s rights under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding
any other express or implied agreement to the contrary, each of the Purchaser,
the Seller and the Servicer agree and acknowledge that each of them and each
of
their employees, representatives, and other agents may disclose to any and
all
persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure
of
the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other
tax
analyses) that are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment and
tax structure, except to the extent that confidentiality is reasonably necessary
to comply with U.S. federal or state securities laws. For purposes of
this paragraph, the terms “tax treatment” and “tax structure” have the meanings
specified in Treasury Regulation section 1.6011-4(c).
Section
30. Entire
Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto
and any prior oral or written agreements between them shall be deemed to have
merged herewith.
-71-
Section
31. Further
Agreements. The Seller, the Servicer and the Purchaser each
agree to execute and deliver to the other such reasonable and appropriate
additional documents, instruments or agreements as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.
Section
32. No
Solicitation. From and after the related Closing Date, the
Seller agrees that it will not take any action or permit or cause any action
to
be taken by any of its agents or affiliates, or by any independent contractors
on the Seller’s behalf, to personally, by telephone or mail, solicit a Mortgagor
under any Mortgage Loan for the purpose of refinancing a Mortgage Loan, in
whole
or in part, without the prior written consent of the
Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed
that the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective
affiliates:
(a) may
advertise its availability for handling refinancings of mortgages in its
portfolio, including the promotion of terms it has available for such
refinancings, through the sending of letters or promotional material, so long
as
it does not specifically target Mortgagors and so long as such promotional
material either is sent to the mortgagors for all of the mortgages in the
servicing portfolio of the Seller, the Servicer and any of their affiliates
(those it owns as well as those serviced for others);
(b) may
provide pay-off information and otherwise cooperate with individual mortgagors
who contact it about prepaying their mortgages by advising them of refinancing
terms and streamlined origination arrangements that are available;
and
(c) may
offer to refinance a Mortgage Loan made within thirty (30) days
following receipt by it of a pay-off request from the related
Mortgagor.
Promotions
undertaken by the Seller or the Servicer or by any affiliate of the Seller
or
the Servicer which are directed to the general public at large (including,
without limitation, mass mailing based on commercially acquired mailing lists,
newspaper, radio and television advertisements), shall not constitute
solicitation under this Section 32.
Section
33. Waiver of Jury
Trial. THE SELLER AND THE PURCHASER EACH KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING
UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY.
Section
34. Compliance With
Regulation
AB.
Subsection
34.01 Intent of the Parties;
Reasonableness.
The
Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Section
34 of
this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and any Depositor
with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the
Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to
offerings of asset-backed securities that are
-72-
registered
under the Securities Act, the Company acknowledges that investors in privately
offered securities may require that the Purchaser or any Depositor provide
comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings. References in this
Agreement to compliance with Regulation AB include provision of comparable
disclosure in private offerings.
Neither
the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery
of
information or other performance under these provisions other than in good
faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or
the
provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under
the Securities Act). The Seller acknowledges that interpretations of
the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to
interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among
participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or
otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Purchaser or any
Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions
on
the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection
with any Securitization Transaction, the Seller shall cooperate fully with
the
Purchaser to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or
designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports, certifications,
records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination
of
the Purchaser or any Depositor to permit the Purchaser or such Depositor to
comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures
relating to the Seller, any Subservicer, any Third-Party Originator and the
Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed
by
the Purchaser or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such
compliance.
The
Purchaser shall cooperate with the Seller by providing notice as required under
this Section 34 for requests for information and by limiting such requests
to
information necessary, in the Purchaser's good faith judgment, to comply with
Regulation AB.
Subsection
34.02 Additional Representations
and Warranties of the Seller.
(a) The
Seller shall be deemed to represent to the Purchaser and to any Depositor,
as of
the date on which information is first provided to the Purchaser or any
Depositor under Subsection 34.03
that, except as disclosed in writing to the Purchaser or such Depositor prior
to
such date: (i) the Seller is not aware and has not received notice
that any default, early amortization or other performance triggering event
has
occurred as to any other securitization due to any act or failure to act of
the
Seller; (ii) the Seller has not been terminated as servicer in a residential
mortgage loan securitization, either due to a servicing default or to
application of a servicing performance test or trigger; (iii) no material
noncompliance with the applicable servicing criteria with respect to other
securitizations of residential mortgage loans involving the Seller as servicer
has been disclosed or reported by the Seller; (iv) no material changes to the
Seller’s policies or procedures with respect to the servicing function it will
perform under this Agreement and any Reconstitution Agreement for mortgage
loans
of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans have occurred during the three-year
period immediately preceding the related Securitization Transaction; (v) there
are no aspects of the Seller’s financial condition that could have a material
adverse effect on the performance by the Seller of its servicing obligations
under this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement; (vi) there are no material
legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against
the Seller, any
-73-
Subservicer
or any Third-Party Originator; and (vii) there are no affiliations,
relationships or transactions relating to the Seller, any Subservicer or any
Third-Party Originator with respect to any Securitization Transaction and any
party thereto identified by the related Depositor of a type described in Item
1119 of Regulation AB.
(b) If
so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor on any date following the date
on
which information is first provided to the Purchaser or any Depositor under
Subsection
34.03, the Seller shall, within five Business Days following such
request, confirm in writing the accuracy of the representations and warranties
set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section or, if any such representation and
warranty is not accurate as of the date of such request, provide reasonably
adequate disclosure of the pertinent facts, in writing, to the requesting
party.

(a) If
so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor, the Seller shall provide such

(including as an acquirer of Mortgage Loans from a Qualified Correspondent),
or
(ii) each Third-Party Originator, and (iii) as applicable, each Subservicer,
as
is requested for the purpose of compliance with Items 1103(a)(1), 1105, 1110,
1117 and 1119 of Regulation AB. Such information shall include, at a

has been engaged in originating residential mortgage loans, which description
shall include a discussion of the originator’s experience in originating
mortgage loans of a similar type as the Mortgage Loans; information regarding
the size and composition of the originator’s origination portfolio; and
information that may be material, in the good faith judgment of the Purchaser
or
any Depositor, to an analysis of the performance of the Mortgage Loans,
including the originators’ credit-granting or underwriting criteria for mortgage
loans of similar type(s) as the Mortgage Loans and such other information as the
Purchaser or any Depositor may reasonably request for the purpose of compliance
with Item 1110(b)(2) of Regulation AB;
(C) a
description of any material legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known
to be contemplated) against the Seller, each Third-Party Originator and each

-74-
(D) a

Third-Party Originator, each Subservicer and any of the following parties to
a
Securitization Transaction, as such parties are identified to the Seller by

Transaction:
(1)

(2)
|
the

(3)
|
the
issuing entity;
|
|
(4)

any

|
|
(6)

any

|
any
significant obligor;
|
|
(8)
|
any
enhancement or support provider; and
|
|
(9)
|
any
other material transaction party.
|
(b) If
so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor, the Seller shall provide (or,
as
applicable, cause each Third-Party Originator to provide) Static Pool
Information with respect to the mortgage loans (of a similar type as the
Mortgage Loans, as reasonably identified by the Purchaser as provided below)
originated by (i) the Seller, if the Seller is an originator of Mortgage Loans
(including as an acquirer of Mortgage Loans from a Qualified Correspondent),
and/or (ii) each Third-Party Originator. Such Static Pool Information
shall be prepared by the Seller (or Third-Party Originator) on the basis of
its
reasonable, good faith interpretation of the requirements of Item 1105(a)(1)-(3)
of Regulation AB. To the extent that there is reasonably available to
the Seller (or Third-Party Originator) Static Pool Information with respect
to
more than one mortgage loan type, the Purchaser or any Depositor shall be
entitled to specify whether some or all of such information shall be provided
pursuant to this paragraph. The content of such Static Pool
Information may be in the form customarily provided by the Seller, and need
not
be customized for the Purchaser or any Depositor. Such Static Pool
Information for each vintage origination year or prior securitized pool, as
applicable, shall be presented in increments no less frequently than quarterly
over the life of the mortgage loans included in the vintage origination year
or
prior securitized pool. The most recent periodic increment must be as
of a date no later than 135 days prior to the date of the prospectus or other
offering document in which the Static Pool Information is to be included or
incorporated by reference. The Static Pool Information shall be
provided in an electronic format that provides a permanent record of the
information provided, such as a portable document format (pdf) file, or other
such electronic format reasonably required by the Purchaser or the Depositor,
as
applicable.
Promptly
following notice or discovery of a material error in Static Pool Information
provided pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph (including an omission
to include therein information required to be provided pursuant to such
paragraph), the Seller shall provide corrected Static Pool Information to the
Purchaser or any Depositor, as applicable, in the same format in which Static
Pool Information was previously provided to such party by the
Seller.
If
so
requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor, the Seller shall provide (or,
as
applicable, cause each Third-Party Originator to provide), at the expense of
the
requesting party (to the extent of any additional incremental expense associated
with delivery pursuant to this
-75-
Agreement),
such agreed-upon procedures, letters of certified public accountants reasonably
acceptable to the Purchaser or Depositor, as applicable, pertaining to Static
Pool Information relating to prior securitized pools for securitizations closed
on or after January 1, 2006 or, in the case of Static Pool Information with
respect to the Seller’s or Third-Party Originator’s originations or purchases,
to calendar months commencing January 1, 2006, as the Purchaser or such
Depositor shall reasonably request. Such letters shall be addressed
to and be for the benefit of such parties as the Purchaser or such Depositor
shall designate, which may include, by way of example, any Sponsor, any
Depositor and any broker dealer acting as underwriter, placement agent or
initial purchaser with respect to a Securitization Transaction. Any
such statement or letter may take the form of a standard, generally applicable
document accompanied by a reliance letter authorizing reliance by the addressees
designated by the Purchaser or such Depositor.
(c) If
so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor, the Seller shall provide such
information regarding the Seller, as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, and each
Subservicer (each of the Seller and each Subservicer, for purposes of this
paragraph, a “Servicer”), as is

AB. Such information shall include, at a minimum:

Servicer’s form of organization;

loans; a general discussion of the Servicer’s experience in servicing assets of

and any Reconstitution Agreements; information regarding the size, composition
and growth of the Servicer’s portfolio of residential mortgage loans of a type
similar to the Mortgage Loans and information on factors related to the Servicer
that may be material, in the good faith judgment of the Purchaser or any
Depositor, to any analysis of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans or the related
asset-backed securities, as applicable, including, without
limitation:
(1) whether
any prior securitizations of mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage
Loans involving the Servicer have defaulted or experienced an early amortization
or other performance triggering event because of servicing during the three-year
period immediately preceding the related Securitization
Transaction;
(2) the
extent of outsourcing the Servicer utilizes;
(3) whether

for
the purpose of compliance with Item 1108(b)(2) of Regulation AB;

(D) information

that the Servicer has made all advances required to be made on residential
mortgage loans serviced by it during such period, or, if such statement would
not be accurate, information regarding the percentage and type of advances
not
made as required, and the reasons for such failure to advance;
(F) a
description of the Servicer’s processes and procedures designed to address any
special or unique factors involved in servicing loans of a similar type as

assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately
preceding calendar year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the

of this Agreement. The Seller shall be responsible for obtaining from
each Subservicer and delivering to the Purchaser and any Depositor any servicer

Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the

required
to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Subsection 34.05, in
each case as and when required to be delivered.
Subsection
34.07 Indemnification;

each

untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in
any
information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material
provided in written or electronic form under this Section 34 by or on behalf
of
the Seller, or provided under this Section 34 by or on behalf of any
Subservicer, Subcontractor or Third-Party Originator (collectively, the “Seller Information”),
or (B) the omission or alleged 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 light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading; 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;
(ii) any
failure by the Seller, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party
Originator to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’

to deliver the certifications and reports required by Section 34.03,
Section
34.04
or Section
34.05 hereof.

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 Section, 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

respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification

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

or in a writing furnished pursuant to Subsection 34.02(b)
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 34.02(b)
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 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 Seller is servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in a
Securitization Transaction, shall entitle the Purchaser or Depositor, as
applicable, in its sole discretion to 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.
(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
34.04 or 34.05,
including

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 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 subparagraph (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 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

and subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been provided
by
the Commission in the adopting release (Asset-Backed Securities, Securities
Act
Release No. 33-8518, 70 Fed. Reg. 1,506, 1,531 (January 7, 2005)) or by the
staff of the Commission, or as may be provided by the Commission or its staff
from time to time.
(b) 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 such indemnified party notifies the
indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate
EXH.
3-3
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.
(c) 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.
(d) The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 1 and
the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 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[s], the Initial Purchaser[s], their
respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents or any person
controlling the Depositor, Xxxxxx, the Underwriter[s], the Initial Purchaser[s]
or any such affiliate, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the
Offered Certificates or Private Certificates.

Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx Mortgage Capital Inc.

Xxxx,
Xxx Xxxx 00000
Dear
Sirs:
You
have
requested [our] [my] opinion, as [Assistant] General Counsel to
___________________ (the “Company”), with
respect to certain matters in connection with the sale by the Company of the
Mortgage Loans pursuant to that certain Second Amended and Restated Mortgage
Loan Sale and Servicing Agreement, by and between the Company and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx
Mortgage Capital Inc. (the “Purchaser”), dated
as
of September 1, 2006 (the “Sale and Servicing
Agreement”) which sale is in the form of whole loans, delivered pursuant
to a Custodial Agreement dated as of _____ __, 200_ among the Purchaser, the
Company, and ______________________[CUSTODIAN] (the “Custodial Agreement”
and, collectively
with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the “Agreements”). Capitalized
terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Sale
and
Servicing Agreement.
[We]
[I]
have examined the following documents:
1. the
Sale and Servicing Agreement;
2. the
Custodial Agreement;
3. the
form of Assignment of Mortgage;
4. the
form of endorsement of the Mortgage Notes; and
5. such
other documents, records and papers as we have deemed necessary and relevant
as
a basis for this opinion.
To
the
extent [we] [I] have deemed necessary and proper, [we] [I] have relied upon
the
representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Sale and
Servicing Agreement. [We] [I] have assumed the authenticity of all
documents submitted to [us] [me] as originals, the genuineness of all
signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the
originals of all documents.
EXH.
11-1
Based
upon the foregoing, it is [our] [my] opinion that:
1. The
Company is a [type of entity] duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the [United States] and is qualified to transact
business in, and is in good standing under, the laws of [the state of
incorporation/formation].
2. The
Company has the power to engage in the transactions contemplated by the
Agreements and all requisite power, authority and legal right to execute and
deliver the Agreements and to perform and observe the terms and conditions
of
the Agreements.
3. Each
of the Agreements has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company, and is a legal, valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance
with its respective terms against the Company, subject to bankruptcy laws and
other similar laws of general application affecting rights of creditors and
subject to the application of the rules of equity, including those respecting
the availability of specific performance, none of which will materially
interfere with the realization of the benefits provided thereunder or with
the
Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans.
4. The
Company has been duly authorized to allow any of its officers to execute any
and
all documents by original signature in order to complete the transactions
contemplated by the Agreements.
5. The
Company has been duly authorized to allow any of its officers to execute by
original [or facsimile] signature the endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and
the
Assignments of Mortgages, and the original [or facsimile] signature of the
officer at the Company executing the endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and
the
Assignments of Mortgages represents the legal and valid signature of said
officer of the Company.
6. Either
(i) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and
performance by the Company of or compliance by the Company with the Agreements
and the sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Company or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Agreements or (ii) any required consent,
approval, authorization or order has been obtained by the Company.
7. Neither
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, nor the fulfillment of
the
terms of, the Agreements conflicts or will conflict with or results or will
result in a breach of or constitutes or will constitute a default under the
charter or by-laws of the Company, the terms of any indenture or other agreement
or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or to
which it is subject, or violates any statute or order, rule, regulations, writ,
injunction or decree of any court, governmental authority or regulatory body
to
which the Company is subject or by which it is bound.
8. There
is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of
[our]
[my] knowledge, threatened against the Company which, in [our] [my] judgment,
either in any one instance or in the aggregate, may result in any material
adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties
or
assets of the Company or in any material impairment of the right or ability
of
the Company to carry on its business substantially as now
XXX.
00-0
conducted
or in any material liability on the part of the Company or which would draw
into
question the validity of the Agreements or the Mortgage Loans or of any action
taken or to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby,
or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Company to
perform under the terms of the Agreements.
9. The
sale of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage as and in the manner contemplated by
the
Agreements is sufficient to fully transfer to the Purchaser all right, title
and
interest of the Company thereto as noteholder and mortgagee.
10. The
Mortgages have been duly assigned and the Mortgage Notes have been duly endorsed
as provided in the Custodial Agreement. The Assignments of Mortgage
are in recordable form, except for the insertion of the name of the assignee,
and upon the name of the assignee being inserted, are acceptable for recording
under the laws of the state where each related Mortgaged Property is
located. The endorsement of the Mortgage Notes, the delivery to the
Purchaser, or its designee, of the Assignments of Mortgage, and the delivery
of
the original endorsed Mortgage Notes to the Purchaser, or its designee, are
sufficient to permit the Purchaser to avail itself of all protection available
under applicable law against the claims of any present or future creditors
of
the Company, and are sufficient to prevent any other sale, transfer, assignment,
pledge or hypothecation of the Mortgages and the Mortgage Notes by the Company
from being enforceable.
This
opinion is given to you for your sole benefit, and no other person or entity
is
entitled to rely hereon except that the purchaser or purchasers to which you
initially and directly resell the Mortgage Loans may rely on this opinion as
if
it were addressed to them as of the date of this opinion.
Very
truly yours,
