Section 2.3. Recordation of Mortgages and Assignments of Mortgages
With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than any Mortgage Loan for which a Payoff has been made after the related Cut-Off Date and prior to the related Closing Date), in instances where, due to a delay on the part of the recording office, any Recording Documents are not included in the Mortgage File delivered to the Purchaser or its designee on or before the related Closing Date, the applicable Seller shall transmit the Recording Documents to the Purchaser or its designee within 270 days after the related Closing Date. In instances where, due to a delay on the part of the recording office where any such Recording Documents have been delivered for recordation, the Recording Documents cannot be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee within 270 days after such Closing Date, such Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser or its designee within such time period a Seller Officer’s Certificate stating the date by which such Seller expects to receive such Recording Documents from the applicable recording office.

This procedure shall be repeated until the Recording Documents have been received by such Seller and delivered to the Purchaser or its designee.
Section 2.4. Repurchases of and Substitutions for Defective Mortgage Loans
(a) Upon receipt of notice from the Purchaser that any document, required to be included (pursuant to the definition of “Mortgage File”) in the Mortgage File delivered to the Purchaser or its designee with respect to a Mortgage Loan sold by a Seller hereunder, was not included therein or has not been executed, such Seller shall correct or cure such defect within 60 days from the date such Seller receives notice thereof or, if such defect cannot be corrected or cured within such 60-day period, such Seller shall, not later than the expiration of such 60-day period, either (a) repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser or its transferee at the Repurchase Price or (b) within the three-month period commencing on the related Closing Date (or within the two-year period commencing on such Closing Date if the related Mortgage Loan is a “defective obligation” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(f)), substitute for such Mortgage Loan one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans each of which is a “qualified replacement mortgage” (as defined in the Code); provided, however, that in the event that such defect consists solely of the failure of such Seller to deliver any Recording Document with respect to such Mortgage Loan, due to a delay on the part of the recording office, then such Seller shall not be required to repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan. If such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” (as defined in the Code), then notwithstanding the previous sentence, the repurchase or substitution must occur within the sooner of (i) 90 days from the date the defect was discovered by such Seller, the Purchaser or any other party to the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (ii) in the case of substitution, two years from the related Closing Date.

Furthermore, the applicable Seller shall be deemed to have made as of the date of substitution the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1 as to such Substitute Mortgage Loan (except that references to “Closing Date” and “Cut-Off Date” in such Section 3.1 shall be deemed to be references to the date of substitution). In addition, a Substitute Mortgage Loan shall not be a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan (as such terms are defined in the Standard & Poor's LEVELS® Glossary in effect on the date of substitution, with such exceptions thereto as the Purchaser and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services may reasonably agree). A Substitute Mortgage Loan may be substituted for a defective Mortgage Loan that is itself a Substitute Mortgage Loan.
(c) In connection with the substitution of one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Reacquired Mortgage Loans on any date, the applicable Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the Substitution Price for such Reacquired Mortgage Loans.
(d) Concurrently with each such substitution, the applicable Seller shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Purchaser or its designee the Mortgage File for each Substitute Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, the Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, to the extent applicable (including, without limitation, the Seller’s obligations with respect to the Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.4 and Sections 2.3 and 3.3). The Seller and the Purchaser shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule in a timely fashion to delete all repurchased Mortgage Loans and Reacquired Mortgage Loans and add all Substitute Mortgage Loans.
(e) The applicable Seller shall pay any Repurchase Price or Substitution Price by such method as is specified by the Purchaser in writing.
(f) With respect to each repurchased Mortgage Loan or Reacquired Mortgage Loan, the applicable Seller shall own and be entitled to receive all scheduled payments due after the date of repurchase or substitution, as applicable, any Curtailments received in or after the calendar month of repurchase or substitution, as applicable, and any Payoff received after the 14th day of the calendar month of repurchase or substitution, as applicable; and with respect to each Substitute Mortgage Loan, the applicable Seller shall own and be entitled to receive all payments due under the related Mortgage Note on or before the date of substitution. Any such payments received by the Purchaser or its transferee shall promptly be remitted by the Purchaser to such Seller. With respect to each Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser shall own and be entitled to receive all scheduled payments due after the date of repurchase or substitution, as applicable, any Curtailments received in or after the calendar month of repurchase or substitution, as applicable, and any Payoff received after the 14th day of the calendar month of repurchase or substitution, as applicable. Any such payments received by the applicable Seller shall promptly be remitted by the Seller to the Purchaser or its transferee.

The Seller has the corporate power and authority to hold each Mortgage Loan, to sell each Mortgage Loan, to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement, the Term Sheet, the Confidential Pricing Supplement and all documents and instruments executed and delivered pursuant hereto and to perform its obligations in accordance therewith.

(iv) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, are in the ordinary course of business of the Seller and will not (i) result in the breach of any term or provision of the charter or by-laws of the Seller, (ii) result in the breach of any term or provision of, or conflict with or constitute a default under, or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any material agreement, indenture, loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which the Seller or its property is subject or (iii) result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, or decree to which the Seller or its property is subject.
(v) There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, threatened, against the Seller which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, is likely, in the Seller’s judgment, to result, in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Seller to carry on its business substantially as now conducted, or which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of the Seller contemplated herein or therein, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.
(vi) The Seller is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) approved mortgagee pursuant to Section 203 of the National Housing Act of 1934, as amended. No event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would make the Seller unable to comply with HUD eligibility requirements or which would require notification to HUD.
(vii) The Seller is not in violation of, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation with respect to, any order or decree of any court or any order or regulation of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Seller or its assets, which violation might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the condition, financial or otherwise, or the operations, of the Seller or its assets or might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the performance of its obligations and duties hereunder.
(viii) Upon payment of the Purchase Price by the Purchaser, in the event that the Seller retains record title to a Mortgage, the Seller shall retain such record title to such Mortgage solely in trust for the Purchaser as owner thereof.
(a) It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 shall survive the sale of Mortgage Loans by each Seller 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.
(b) Upon discovery by a Seller (the “Breaching Seller”) or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1 made by the Breaching Seller (in the case of a breach of the representation set forth in clause (xxix) of Section 3.1, as based on a determination of the applicable Closing Date Loan-to-Value Ratio using such evidence as is reasonably designed to approximate the value of the applicable Mortgaged Property as of the related Closing Date) that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan sold by such Breaching Seller hereunder or the interests of the Purchaser in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. Any breach of the representation set forth in clause (xxvii) or clause (xxviii) of Section 3.1 shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan. Within 90 days of its discovery of breach or its receipt of notice of breach from the Purchaser, the Breaching Seller shall repurchase from the Purchaser or its transferee the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans or any property acquired in respect thereof, or substitute one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans therefor, unless it has cured such breach in all material respects. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the manner and within the time limits set forth in Section 2.4. If such breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” (as defined in the Code), then notwithstanding the previous sentence, the repurchase or substitution must occur within the sooner of (i) 90 days from the date the defect was discovered by such Seller, the Purchaser or any other party to the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (ii) in the case of substitution, two years from the related Closing Date.
(c) It is understood and agreed that the obligations of a Breaching Seller set forth in this Section 3.3 constitute the sole remedies available to the Purchaser or its transferee respecting a breach of the representations and warranties by such Breaching Seller set forth in Section 3.1.
(d) In addition to such cure, repurchase or substitution obligation, each Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from the defense of any claim against the Purchaser by a third party resulting from a breach of the representations and warranties made by such Seller in this Article 3.
Each of the Sellers and the Purchaser shall cooperate fully with each other and their respective counsel and other representatives and advisors in connection with the steps required to be taken as part of their respective obligations under this Agreement.
Section 4.2. Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Indemnities
Each representation, warranty, covenant and indemnity made by a Seller in this Agreement as of each Closing Date shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.4. Consents and Approvals
Each Seller shall obtain, at its sole cost and expense, prior to each Closing Date, all consents and approvals required by law or pursuant to contract to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7.9. Effect of Headings
The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
Section 7.10. Other Agreements Superseded
This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.
Section 7.11. Intention of the Parties
It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and each Seller is selling, Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of such Seller or other security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat each of the transactions hereunder for federal income tax purposes as a sale by each Seller, as applicable, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Loans to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans, and the applicable Seller or Sellers shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review.
Each Seller covenants and agrees that it will not take any action personally, by telephone, by mail or otherwise, to solicit the prepayment of any Mortgage Loans by the related Mortgagors, in whole or in part following the Closing Date with respect to such Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Seller shall be prohibited from:
(i) advertising its availability for handling refinancing of mortgage loans if the Mortgage Loans are not specifically targeted;
(ii) promoting terms available for refinancing by sending letters or promotional material to the mortgagors of all the mortgage loans that such Seller or its affiliates owns or services;
(iii) promoting terms available for refinancing by sending letters or promotional material to the mortgagors of all the mortgage loans of a specific type (e.g., conventional fixed-rate or conventional adjustable-rate) that such Seller or its affiliates owns or services;
(iv) promoting terms available for refinancing by sending letters or promotional material to the mortgagors of all the mortgage loans that fall within specific interest rate ranges that such Seller or its affiliates owns or services;
(v) providing payoff information or otherwise cooperating with individual Mortgagors who contact such Seller about prepaying any Mortgage Loan; or
(vi) advising individual Mortgagors who contact such Seller about prepaying any Mortgage Loan of refinancing terms or streamlined origination arrangements that are available.
In no event shall any Seller treat mortgage loans that it holds in its own portfolio and the Mortgage Loans as separate classes of mortgages for purposes of advertising the availability of refinancing terms.
Section 7.13. Obligations of the Sellers
The obligations and liabilities of each of the Sellers under this Agreement are several, and no Seller shall be responsible for the obligations of the other Seller under this Agreement. Each representation, warranty, indemnity and covenant made by one Seller under the Agreement is made by, or on behalf of, and with respect to, that Seller only and not the other Seller.
If either party retains an attorney to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees from the other party, including, without limitation, fees incurred in arbitration and in trial and appellate courts, fees incurred without suit, and all arbitration, court and accounting costs.
Section 7.15. Security Interest
(a) The parties hereto intend that each transfer of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable Term Sheet constitute a sale by the applicable Seller to the Purchaser of such Mortgage Loan, including for accounting purposes, and not a secured borrowing. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that any such transfer be deemed the grant of a security interest in any Mortgage Loan by the applicable Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of such Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, any Mortgage Loan is held to be the property of any Seller, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in any Mortgage Loan, then (a) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement; and (b) the transfer provided for in this Agreement and the applicable Term Sheet shall be deemed to be a grant by each Seller to the Purchaser of, and each Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, to secure all of such Seller’s obligations hereunder, a security interest in all of such Seller’s right, title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under: (i) the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule to each Term Sheet; (ii) all accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts, documents, general intangibles, goods, instruments, investment property, letter-of-credit rights, letters of credit, money, and oil, gas, and other minerals, consisting of, arising from, or relating to, any of the foregoing; and (iii) all proceeds of the foregoing. The Purchaser shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code.
(b) Each Seller shall take or cause to be taken such actions and execute such documents, including without limitation the filing of any financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements, as are necessary to perfect the Purchaser’s interests in each Mortgage Loan. Each Seller shall file such financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments on a timely basis.
(c) No later than ten (10) days following each Closing Date, each Seller shall file in the applicable jurisdictions such UCC financing statements covering the Mortgage Loans sold by such Seller on such Closing Date as are necessary to perfect the Purchaser’s interests in such Mortgage Loans.
Section 7.16. Covenant Not to Place Purchaser or Trust Into Bankruptcy
Each Seller covenants that it shall not, until at least one year and one day after all securities issued by any Trust to which the Purchaser has transferred Mortgage Loans have been paid in full, take any action to file an involuntary bankruptcy petition against the Purchaser or any Trust.
