MORTGAGE LOAN SCHEDULES

Section 3.01 Delivery of Mortgage Loan 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 obligation of the Purchaser to purchase any Mortgage Loan from the Seller on the Closing Date is expressly contingent upon the satisfactory due diligence review (as set forth in Section 5.01) prior to the Closing Date by the Purchaser to confirm that such Mortgage Loan conforms to the terms of the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement and this Agreement.

Article IV

PURCHASE PRICE

Section 4.01 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. 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, with respect to any Mortgage Loans which are less than 30 days delinquent as of the Cut-off Date, 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; provided, that, Purchaser shall not pay more than 30 days’ interest with respect to any Mortgage Loan. 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. The Purchaser shall not reimburse the Seller for any corporate advances, servicing advances or escrow advances outstanding prior to the related Closing Date.

The Purchaser shall be entitled to (1) all recoveries of principal collected on or after the related Cut-off Date, and (2) all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans. The outstanding principal balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date is determined after application of payments of principal received on or before the related Cut-off Date, together with any unscheduled principal prepayments collected prior to such Cut-off Date.

Article V

EXAMINATION OF MORTGAGE FILES

Section 5.01 Examination of Mortgage Files.

The Seller understands that the Purchaser agrees, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, to purchase only mortgage loans that conform with any terms set forth in the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement and that the Seller has underwritten at origination (or re-underwritten) in accordance with the Seller Underwriting Guidelines provided to the Seller by the Purchaser, except to the extent that any deviation to such guidelines is based on compensating factors which are disclosed to and accepted by the Purchaser prior to such purchase.

Prior to the related Closing Date, the Seller shall have provided the Purchaser with appraisal documentation (the “Appraisal Package”) to enable the Purchaser to perform a satisfactory valuation review of the related Mortgaged Property. The Seller agrees that the Purchaser shall be under no obligation to purchase any Mortgage Loan if the Purchaser has not been provided with such Appraisal Package, completed such review prior to the related Closing Date of the Mortgage Loan and is in agreement with the valuation.

At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the related Closing Date, the Seller shall also (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 (except with respect to MERS Designated Mortgage Loans) and all credit and servicing files (including, without limitation, any related Mortgagor’s payment history (at least 12 months, if applicable)), pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, and (b) make the related Credit File available to the Purchaser for examination at such other location as shall otherwise be acceptable to the Purchaser. With respect to MERS Designated Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall take such actions as are necessary to cause the Purchaser or its designee to be shown as the owner of the related Mortgage on the records of MERS for purposes of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS. The Seller further agrees that it will not alter any information or documents delivered to or made available to the Purchaser pursuant to this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Purchaser may also from time to time appoint a due diligence vendor as its agent to perform a due diligence review of the Mortgage Loans proposed to be sold. The Seller shall deliver or make available all required documentation with respect to the origination and/or servicing of each Mortgage Loan in the manner described herein. With respect to Mortgage Loans that were originated sixty (60) or more days prior to the related Closing Date, the Seller will also make available a current Credit Score of each Mortgagor provided by Fair Xxxxx Corporation or such other organization acceptable to the Purchaser. The Purchaser may also request from Seller broker price opinions or other valuation methodologies with respect to each Mortgage Loan that was originated sixty (60) or more days prior to the related Closing Date. Such examination 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 are unacceptable to the Purchaser for any reason, such Mortgage Loans shall be deleted from the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and the Purchaser shall have no obligation to purchase such deleted Mortgage Loans. 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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in two preceding paragraphs, the failure of the Purchaser to identify or discover any deficiency or error with respect to any Appraisal Package, Credit File or failure to otherwise reject any such package will not release the Seller from its obligations to provide any other required documentation or correct any errors in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, nor impair or diminish the rights of the Purchaser or any of its successors under this Agreement with respect to a breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, including but not limited to Purchaser’s or any of its successors’ rights to demand repurchase or other relief or remedy provided for in this Agreement.

Article VI

SALE AND CONVEYANCE FROM SELLER TO PURCHASER

Section 6.01 Sale and Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.

The Seller, simultaneously with the delivery of the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Package to be purchased on each Closing Date, shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Conveyance Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Assignment and Conveyance Agreement”).

Pursuant to Section 6.03, originals or copies (if acceptable to the Purchaser) of all Mortgage Loan Documents listed on Exhibit A hereto and comprising the Mortgage File shall be delivered to the Purchaser or the Custodian on or prior to the Closing Date. In accordance with Section 6.03, the Seller shall have access to the Mortgage Loan Documents for the sole purpose of interim servicing the related Mortgage Loans. Upon the purchase of the Mortgage Loans, the ownership of each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and each related Mortgage File is vested in the Purchaser and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to each related Mortgage Loan prepared by or which come into the possession of the Seller shall immediately vest in the Purchaser.

Section 6.02 Books and Records.

Record title to each Mortgage as of the related Closing Date shall be in a name designated by the Purchaser. All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans, inclusive of the Servicing Rights, including, but not limited to, all funds received by the Seller or its designee servicer after the related Cut-off Date on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan shall be vested in the Purchaser or one or more designees of the Purchaser; provided, however, that prior to the Servicing Transfer Date, all funds received on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan shall be received and held by the Seller or its designee 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.

The Seller, while acting as interim servicer, shall maintain a complete set of books and records for each Mortgage Loan which shall be marked clearly to reflect the ownership of each Mortgage Loan by the Purchaser and shall be available for inspection by the Purchaser upon request. Such books and records shall be appropriately identified in the Seller’s computer system to reflect clearly the sale of such related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser and the ownership thereof by the Purchaser.

It is the express intention of the parties that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller and not a pledge of the 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 sale on the Seller’s business records, tax returns and financial statements.

Section 6.03 Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.

The Seller shall pay all costs associated with the shipment of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Custodian. The Seller and the Purchaser shall pay all fees and expenses of the Custodian, as incurred by each party.

The Seller shall forward to the Custodian, or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing, original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with this Agreement prior to the Servicing Transfer Date within two weeks of their execution, provided, however, that the Seller shall provide the Custodian, or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing, with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within two weeks of 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 ninety (90) days of its submission for recordation.

In the event any document required to be delivered to the Custodian under this Agreement, including an original or copy of any document submitted for recordation to the appropriate public recording office, is not so delivered to the Custodian, or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing, within ninety (90) days following the related Closing Date (other than with respect to the Assignments of Mortgage which shall be delivered pursuant to this Section 6.03), and in the event that the Seller does not cure such failure within 30 days of discovery or receipt of written notification of such failure from the Purchaser, 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 Section 8.03. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Seller cannot deliver an original 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 the Seller 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 Seller, confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording; provided that, upon request of the Purchaser and delivery by the Purchaser to the Seller of a schedule of the related Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall reissue and deliver to the Purchaser or its designee said Officer’s Certificate.

All Assignments of Mortgage shall be promptly recorded in the name of the Purchaser or in ‘blank’ or in the name of a Person designated by the Purchaser in all appropriate public offices for real property records.

Section 6.05 Helping Families Notice.

In addition, in connection with any Securitization Transaction with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans prior to a related Servicing Transfer Date, the Seller, at the Purchaser’s expense, shall furnish to each related borrower, within thirty (30) days following the closing date with respect to such Securitization Transaction, a notice with respect to such assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (or in such other form as otherwise mutually agreed between the Seller and the Purchaser), which notice shall identify the Securitization Transaction trust as the new owner of the Mortgage Loan and include any other information required by the Helping Families Act.

Article VII

INTERIM SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 7.01 Seller to Act as Interim Servicer.

On the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loans will be sold by the Seller to the Purchaser on a servicing released basis, including any and all rights in the Servicing Rights.

In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall comply with all federal, state and local laws and regulations and the Mortgage Loan Documents and employ procedures (including collection procedures) and exercise the same care that a servicer customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account giving due consideration to accepted mortgage servicing practices of prudent lending institutions and government-sponsored programs.

As consideration for servicing the Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall be entitled to $8.00 per Mortgage Loan, per month (the “Servicing Fee”), which amount shall be prorated for any portion of a month during which the Mortgage Loan is interim serviced pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, the Seller will retain all ancillary income derived from the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to late charges, fees received with respect to checks or bank drafts returned by the related bank for non-sufficient funds, assumption fees and all other incidental fees and charges. The Seller shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its interim servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor.

Continuously during the Interim Servicing Period, the Seller shall proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable and shall, in accordance with the guidelines of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974, as amended, and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, take special care in ascertaining and estimating escrow payments and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans and each related Mortgaged Property, 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. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Seller as interim servicer shall have no obligation to advance any amounts constituting delinquent principal and interest payments.

On the third (3rd) Business Day of each month, the Seller shall remit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Purchaser all amounts collected on the Mortgage Loans during the previous calendar month or other applicable period (net of unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees); provided, that the Seller shall have provided to the Purchaser prior to netting of any unreimbursed Servicing Advances, all back-up documentation received or in the possession related to any such Servicing Advances incurred by the Seller during the Interim Servicing Period, and the Purchaser shall have approved such amount in writing.

During the Interim Servicing Period, the Seller shall make available loan-level information generated by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans via daily posting on a secure website or daily delivery of an electronic loan tape in such form as required by the Purchaser, or in such other practical manner as mutually-agreed to between the Seller and the Purchaser.

During the Interim Servicing Period, the Seller shall participate with the Purchaser in meetings by telephone on a weekly basis (or on such other periodic basis mutually agreed to by the Seller and the Purchaser) (each such meeting, a “status call”) during which the Seller shall report to the Purchaser on the status of items relating to the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, any outstanding repurchase claims with respect to a Mortgage Loan. Promptly after each such call, the Seller shall prepare a written status report with respect to each of the items that were on the agenda for the call, including any actions to be taken by it pursuant to its obligations as the Seller under this Agreement. Promptly after receipt of such written status report, but not later than the next scheduled status call, the Purchaser shall confirm its agreement with each item on the written status report as an accurate report of the matters discussed on the status call to which such written report relates or shall identify to the Seller any disagreements with or omissions from such status report as an accurate report of the matters discussed on the status call.

The transfer of servicing responsibilities for the Mortgage Loans shall occur on the Servicing Transfer Date. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Servicing Transfer Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser or its designee all documents and records relating to the Mortgage Loans constituting the servicing file. On or prior to the third (3rd) Business Day following the Servicing Transfer Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser or its designee an accounting of amounts collected or held by it with respect thereto (on an “actual/actual” basis), remit to Purchaser or its designee all funds held by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser or its designee acting as Successor Servicer. Such transfer of servicing shall be in accordance with the transfer procedures in Exhibit F to this Agreement.

The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule.

(f) No Defenses; No Bankruptcy. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and 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; and the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated. Except as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgaged Property is not subject to any ongoing bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding. The Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy and is not insolvent and the Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or condition with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that could reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent or materially adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan. No borrower had a prior bankruptcy in the last seven years prior to the origination of the Mortgage Loan. No borrower previously owned a property in the last seven years that was the subject of a foreclosure during the time the borrower was the owner of record;

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) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Flood Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier rated A:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 or the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. All individual insurance policies contain a standard 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 a 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. 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 acted or failed to act so as to impair the coverage of any such insurance policy or the validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof;

(i) 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 satisfaction, 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, and the Seller has not waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;

(j) Type of Mortgaged Property. With respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgaged Property is a fee simple estate or a leasehold estate located in a jurisdiction in which the use of a leasehold estate for residential properties is a widely accepted practice located in the state identified on the Mortgage Schedule and 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 a manufactured home, or an individual unit in a planned unit development, or an individual unit in a residential cooperative housing corporation; provided, however, that any condominium unit, planned unit development or residential cooperative housing corporation and any manufactured dwelling shall conform with the applicable Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac requirements regarding such dwellings. No portion of the Mortgaged Property (or underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) is used for commercial or agricultural purposes, and since the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial or agricultural purposes; none of the Mortgaged Properties are log homes, mobile homes, geodesic domes or other unique property types; no Mortgage Loan is secured by mixed-use properties or condotels; no Mortgage Loan is a home equity line of credit;

(ii) (a) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable or (b) with respect to any Co-op Loan, 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;

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 (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second lien (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) and first priority (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second priority (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) security interest on the property described therein, or on the related cooperative shares securing the Mortgage Note with respect to any Co-op Loan, and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser;

(n) No Default. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration; and neither the Seller nor any prior mortgagee has waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration. 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. No foreclosure action is currently threatened or has been commenced with respect to any Mortgaged Property. With respect to each Second Lien Loan, the related First Lien Loan related thereto is in full force and effect;

(o) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor in connection therewith are original and genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors and Seller has taken all action necessary to transfer such rights of enforceability to Purchaser. All parties to the Mortgage Note , the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement. The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by the Mortgagor or such other related parties;

(p) No Fraud. No error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or similar occurrence with respect to any Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Seller or on the part of any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the related Mortgagor or any broker, seller, appraiser, builder or developer 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.

In the event that the Seller retains record title, the Seller shall retain such record title to each Mortgage, each related Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage Files with respect thereto in trust for the Purchaser as the owner thereof.

With respect to any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8.01 and 8.02 that is made to the best of or based on the Seller’s knowledge or belief, if it is discovered that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, then, notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation and warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty and the Purchaser shall be entitled to all the remedies to which it would be entitled for a breach of representation or warranty, including without limitation, the repurchase and indemnification requirements contained herein, notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the inaccuracy at the time the representation was made.

Within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any such 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 repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price within two (2) Business Days of Purchaser’s demand. In the event that a breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 8.01, and such breach cannot be cured within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of such breach, all of the Mortgage Loans affected by such breach shall, at the Purchaser’s option, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase Price (each, a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”). Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.03 shall be accomplished by direct remittance of the Repurchase Price by wire transfer to an account designated by the Purchaser in accordance with the Purchaser’s instructions.

In addition to such repurchase obligation, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser 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 or alleged breach of any representation or warranty made by the Seller in this Agreement.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is prepaid in full during the three (3) month period from and after the related Closing Date, the Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser, within five (5) Business Days of notice of such prepayment in full, the excess of (i) the Purchase Price (as adjusted) for such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date less the amount of any valid and enforceable Prepayment Penalty to the extent collected from the Mortgagor.

Section 12.02 Regulatory Compliance.

The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser intends to sell or securitize the Mortgage Loans purchased from the Seller. In connection therewith, the Seller agrees that the Purchaser may assign its rights, title and interest in such Mortgage Loans and this Agreement to any successor owner, depositor or trustee in a Securitization Transaction, including without limitation, the representations and warranties made by the Seller with respect to itself and each Mortgage Loan and the right to enforce its remedies, which may be set forth herein and/or incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, the parties hereby agree to comply with the applicable laws, rules and regulations of regulatory authorities such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), and other Applicable Law related to public and private sales of mortgage loans in whole loan form, securitized form or otherwise (including, without limitation, Regulation AB and related interpretations, rules and regulations of the Commission and the Xxxx–Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010).

In connection with any sale of the Mortgage Loans, either in whole loan form or by means of a Securitization Transaction (in the latter case, either publicly or privately), upon the Purchaser’s reasonable request, the Seller shall provide, in the timeframe specified by the Purchaser, any and all information, data, reports or disclosure reasonably necessary to ensure (in the judgment of counsel to the Purchaser, which may be in-house counsel) that such sales will comply in all respects with all laws, regulations and guidance of any agency or government instrumentality having jurisdiction over the transaction. The Seller, upon reasonable request from the Purchaser, shall also provide the information required in Section 12.01, in accordance with the provisions of that Section, which Section the parties agree shall be amended from time to time to facilitate compliance with such laws, rules and regulations such that the Purchaser may complete any proposed Securitization Transaction. The Seller shall provide any certifications, legal opinions, negative assurances, indemnifications, additional representations and warranties, or other assurances that the Purchaser may reasonably request with respect to all information, data, reports or disclosure provided to it by the Seller. The Purchaser and the Seller shall agree in advance to the commercially reasonable expenses which the Seller shall be required to incur in order to comply with the obligations of this Article XII.

The Seller further covenants to provide the Purchaser on request all information the Purchaser deems necessary in order to comply with any amendments to Regulation AB and any other securities laws and regulations with respect to information provided in connection with a securitization of the Mortgage Loans and shall enter into any necessary amendments to this Agreement required to comply with same.

Article XIII

THE SELLER

Section 13.01 Additional Indemnification by the Seller; Third Party Claims.

(a) 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 and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses (including legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Seller’s indemnification obligation under this Section 13.01) and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that such parties may sustain in any way in connection with or relating to (i) a breach by Seller of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 8.01 or 8.02 of this Agreement or (ii) a breach by Seller of any of its covenants and other obligations contained herein including any failure to interim service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this 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.

(b) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party, 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 Agreement, 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 Agreement. 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).

Section 13.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Seller.

(a) The Seller shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

(b) Any Person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Seller, shall be the successor of the Seller hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution which is a Xxxxxx Mae/Xxxxxxx Mac-approved seller/servicer in good standing. Furthermore, in the event the Seller transfers or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets to an affiliate of the Seller, such affiliate shall satisfy the condition above, and shall also be fully liable to the Purchaser for all of the Seller’s obligations and liabilities hereunder.

Section 13.03 Financial Statements.

(a) The Seller understands that in connection with the Purchaser’s marketing of the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall make available to prospective purchasers the Seller’s financial statements for the most recently completed three fiscal years respecting which such statements are available. The Seller also shall make available any comparable interim statements to the extent any such statements have been prepared by the Seller (and are available upon request to members or stockholders of the Seller). The Seller, if it has not already done so, agrees to furnish promptly to the Purchaser copies of the statements specified above. The Seller also shall make available information on its servicing performance with respect to mortgage loans serviced for others, including delinquency ratios.

(b) The Seller also agrees to allow access to knowledgeable financial, accounting, origination and servicing officers of the Seller for the purpose of answering questions asked by any prospective purchaser regarding recent developments affecting the Seller, its loan origination or servicing practices or the financial statements of the Seller.

(c) Notwithstanding the above, the Purchaser agrees that the Seller’s non-public financial information will be kept confidential by the Purchaser and will not be disclosed for a period of one (1) year after the Purchaser’s receipt thereof except (a) as required by applicable law, regulation, legal or judicial process, with reasonable prior written notice to the Seller; (b) pursuant to routine and regularly scheduled compliance examinations and requests from regulatory agencies; and (c) the Purchaser may disclose the Seller’s non-public financial information or portions thereof to those who need to know the Seller’s non-public financial information for the purpose of evaluating a potential sale of the Mortgage Loans in the secondary market; provided, that they (i) are informed of the confidential nature of the Seller’s non-public financial information; and (ii) agree to treat such information as set forth in this provision.

Section 13.04 Quality Control Program.

The Seller shall have an internal quality control program that verifies, on a regular basis, the existence and accuracy of the legal documents, credit documents, property appraisals, and underwriting decisions. The program shall evaluate and monitor the overall quality of the Seller’s loan production and the servicing activities of the Seller in accordance with industry standards. The Seller shall make available upon request of the Purchaser information regarding its quality control program.

Article XIV

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 14.01 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 Mortgage Loans otherwise acceptable to the Purchaser on or before the related Closing Date.

Section 14.02 Notices.

Any notice or other communication must be in writing and will be deemed to have been given or made on the date of delivery, in the case of hand delivery, or three (3) Business Days after deposit in the United States Certified Mail, postage prepaid, or upon receipt if transmitted by fax, addressed as follows:

[SELLER ADDRESS]

(ii) if to the Purchaser:

[PURCHASER ADDRESS]

With a copy to:

[PURCHASER ADDRESS]

or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the other party by like notice.

Section 14.03 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 14.04 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. The parties agree that this Agreement, any documents to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement and any notices hereunder may be transmitted between them by email and/or by facsimile. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 14.05 Governing Law Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED IN EFFECT WHEN A FULLY EXECUTED 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 14.06 Intention of the Parties.

(a) 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 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.

(b) To the extent that any transfer of any Mortgage Loan hereunder from the Seller is characterized as a loan by the Purchaser to the Seller secured by such Mortgage Loan, each of the Purchaser and the Seller represents and warrants as to itself that each receipt by the Purchaser of collections in respect of such Mortgage Loan, to the extent deemed to constitute a remittance of such collections by the Seller to the Purchaser, will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by the Seller in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Seller and the Purchaser and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Seller and the Purchaser.

Section 14.07 Successors and Assigns; Assignment of Purchase Agreement.

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 14.08 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by or on behalf of the Seller or any of its affiliates 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 14.14.

To the extent that there is no room on the face of the Mortgage Notes for endorsements, the endorsement may be contained on an allonge, if state law so allows and the Custodian is so advised by the Seller that state law so allows. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired by the Seller in a merger, the endorsement must be by “[Last Endorsee], successor by merger to [name of predecessor]”.

(c) with respect to Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans, the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon. With respect to any Co-op Loan, an original or copy of the Security Agreement. If in connection with any Mortgage Loan, the Seller cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon on or prior to the Closing Date because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such Mortgage has been delivered for recordation or because such Mortgage has been lost or because such public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, a photocopy of such Mortgage, together with (i) in the case of a delay caused by the public recording office, an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller (or certified by the title company, escrow agent, or closing attorney) stating that such Mortgage has been dispatched to the appropriate public recording office for recordation and that the original recorded Mortgage or a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage will be promptly delivered to the Custodian upon receipt thereof by the Seller; or (ii) in the case of a Mortgage where a public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording office, a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage;

(e) with respect to Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans, the original Assignment of Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan, in form and substance acceptable for recording (except with respect to MERS Designated Loans). The Assignment of Mortgage must be duly recorded only if recordation is either necessary under applicable law or commonly required by private institutional mortgage investors in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located or on direction of the Purchaser as provided in this Agreement. If the Assignment of Mortgage is to be recorded, the Mortgage shall be assigned to the Purchaser. If the Assignment of Mortgage is not to be recorded, the Assignment of Mortgage shall be delivered in blank. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired by the Seller in a merger, the Assignment of Mortgage must be made by “[Seller], successor by merger to [name of predecessor]”. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired or originated by the Seller while doing business under another name, the Assignment of Mortgage must be by “[Seller], formerly known as [previous name]”;

(f) with respect to Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans, the originals of all intervening assignments of mortgage (if any) evidencing a complete chain of assignment from the Seller to the Last Endorsee (or, in the case of a MERS Designated Loan, MERS) with evidence of recording thereon, or if any such intervening assignment has not been returned from the applicable recording office or has been lost or if such public recording office retains the original recorded assignments of mortgage, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, a photocopy of such intervening assignment, together with (i) in the case of a delay caused by the public recording office, an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller (or certified by the title company, escrow agent, or closing attorney) stating that such intervening assignment of mortgage has been dispatched to the appropriate public recording office for recordation and that such original recorded intervening assignment of mortgage or a copy of such intervening assignment of mortgage certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded intervening assignment of mortgage will be promptly delivered to the Custodian upon receipt thereof by the Seller; or (ii) in the case of an intervening assignment where a public recording office retains the original recorded intervening assignment or in the case where an intervening assignment is lost after recordation in a public recording office, a copy of such intervening assignment certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded intervening assignment;

(g) with respect to Mortgage Loans that are not Co-op Loans, the original mortgagee policy of title insurance or, in the event such original title policy is unavailable, a certified true copy of the related policy binder or commitment for title certified to be true and complete by the title insurance company;

(h) the original or, if unavailable, a copy of any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document executed in connection with the Mortgage;

(i) with respect to any Co-op Loan: (i) a copy of the Co-op Lease and the assignment of such Co-op Lease, with all intervening assignments showing a complete chain of title and an assignment thereof by Seller; (ii) the stock certificate together with an undated stock power relating to such stock certificate executed in blank; (iii) the recognition agreement of the interests of the mortgagee with respect to the Co-op Loan by the residential housing corporation, the stock of which was pledged by the related Mortgagor to the Seller as originator of such Co-op Loan; and (iv) copies of the financing statement filed by the Seller as secured party and, if applicable, a filed UCC 3 assignment of the subject security interest showing a complete chain of title, together with an executed UCC 3 assignment of such security interest by the Seller in a form sufficient for filing; and

A-1-2

(j) if any of the above documents has been executed by a person holding a power of attorney, an original or photocopy of such power certified by the Seller to be a true and correct copy of the original.

In the event an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller is delivered to the Purchaser because of a delay caused by the public recording office in returning any recorded document, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser, within 90 days of the related Closing Date, an Officer’s Certificate which shall (i) identify the recorded document, (ii) state that the recorded document has not been delivered to the Custodian due solely to a delay caused by the public recording office, (iii) state the amount of time generally required by the applicable recording office to record and return a document submitted for recordation, and (iv) specify the date the applicable recorded document will be delivered to the Custodian; provided, however, that any recorded document shall in no event be delivered later than one year following the related Closing Date. An extension of the date specified in clause (iv) above may be requested from the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

EXHIBIT C

EXHIBIT H

ARBITRATION PROCEDURES

If any allegation of a breach of a representation or warranty made in Section 8.02 has not been resolved to the satisfaction of both the Purchaser and the Seller, either party may commence Arbitration to resolve the dispute. To commence Arbitration, the moving party shall deliver written notice to the other party that it has elected to pursue Arbitration in accordance with this Section 8.02; provided that, neither the Seller nor the Purchaser shall commence Arbitration with respect to an alleged breach of representation or warranty made in Section 8.02 before one hundred eighty (180) days following notification by the Purchaser to the Seller of the alleged breach unless the Seller has not provided a response to Purchaser’s notification of such an alleged breach within sixty (60) days thereof, in which case Purchaser may commence Arbitration prior to the end of such one hundred eighty (180) day period. Within ten (10) Business Days after a party has provided notice that it has elected to pursue Arbitration, each party may submit the names of one or more proposed Arbitrators to the other party in writing. If the parties have not agreed on the selection of an Arbitrator within five (5) Business Days after the first such submission, then the party commencing Arbitration shall, within the next five (5) Business Days, notify the American Arbitration Association in New York, NY (the “AAANY”) and request that it appoint a single Arbitrator with experience in arbitrating disputes arising in the financial services industry and who has not been previously rejected by either party. To the extent practicable, the parties shall coordinate outstanding Arbitrations with the AAANY such that the Arbitration proceedings hereunder are held twice per calendar year during the months of March and September.

Upon a showing of good cause, a party may request the Arbitrator to direct the production of such information, evidence and/or documentation from the parties that the Arbitrator deems appropriate. If requested by the Arbitrator or any party, any hearing with respect to an Arbitration shall be conducted by video conference or teleconference except upon the agreement of both parties or the request of the Arbitrator.

The finding of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties. Judgment upon any arbitration award rendered may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The costs of the Arbitrator shall be shared equally between both parties. Each party, however, shall bear its own attorneys fees and costs in connection with the Arbitration. Nothing herein shall be construed as an agreement or consent to Arbitrate any disputes arising between the Seller or the Purchaser other than in connection with an allegation of a breach of a representation or warranty made in Section 8.02.

For purposes of this Exhibit H the following capitalized terms shall have the respective meanings set forth below:

Arbitration: Arbitration in accordance with the then governing Complex Arbitration Procedures of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), which shall be conducted in New York, New York or other place mutually acceptable to the Seller and the Purchaser.

Arbitrator: A person who is not affiliated with any originator, Seller, Servicer or any prior owner of the Mortgage Loans or any prior servicer of any of the Mortgage Loans, who is a member of the American Arbitration Association and who is an attorney with consumer finance experience.

The Company shall maintain records, prepared by a servicing officer of the Company, of each Final Recovery Determination.

(a) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information and data set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule annexed to the related Purchase Confirmation is complete, true and correct. The information and data on the Mortgage Loan Schedule correctly and accurately reflects the information contained in the Company’s records and the originator’s records, if the Company is not the originator (including, without limitation, the Mortgage File) in all material respects. In addition, the information contained under each of the headings in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (e.g. borrower’s income, employment, occupancy, among others) is true and correct. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, any seller or builder concession in excess of the allowable limits established by Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and applicable at the time of origination has been subtracted from the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property for purposes of determining the Loan-to-Value Ratio. As of the related Closing Date, the most recent Credit Score listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule was no more than four (4) months old. As of the date of funding of the Mortgage Loan to the Mortgagor, no Appraisal or other property valuation listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule was more than four (4) months old.

(b) Payments Current. All payments required to be made prior to the related Cut-off Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited. No scheduled monthly payment under any Mortgage Loan has been thirty (30) days or more Delinquent since origination of such Mortgage Loan;

(c) No Outstanding Charges. All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, ground rents, water, sewer and municipal charges or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property, which previously became due and owing have been paid by the Mortgagor, or an escrow of funds has been established to the extent permitted by law, 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;

(d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage (and the Proprietary Lease and the Pledge Instruments with respect to each Cooperative Loan) have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed in connection with the Mortgage Loan, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the Insurer 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 Documents delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;

(e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage (and the Cooperative Pledge Agreement related to each Cooperative Loan) are not subject to any right of rescission, reformation, 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, reformation, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, reformation, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and there is no basis for the Mortgage Loan to be modified or reformed without the consent of the mortgagee under Applicable Law;

(f) 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 satisfaction, release, cancellation, subordination or rescission;

(g) Validity of Mortgage Documents. Each Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage (in the case of a Cooperative Loan, the related Cooperative Pledge Agreement) and any other agreements executed in connection therewith are original and genuine, have been duly and properly executed and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other principles of equity affecting the rights of creditors generally, whether considered in the proceeding at law or in equity. All parties to the Mortgage Note, Mortgage and any other agreements executed in connection therewith had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and Mortgage and any other agreements executed in connection therewith; and the Mortgage Note, Mortgage and any other agreements executed in connection therewith have been duly and properly executed and delivered by such parties. With respect to each Cooperative Loan, all parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage Loan had legal capacity to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Cooperative Pledge Agreement, the Proprietary Lease, the Stock Power, the Recognition Agreement, the Financing Statement and the Assignment of Proprietary Lease and such documents have been duly and properly executed and delivered by such parties; each Stock Power (i) has all signatures guaranteed or (ii) if all signatures are not guaranteed, then such Cooperative Shares will be transferred by the stock transfer agent of the Cooperative Corporation if the Company undertakes to convert the ownership of the collateral securing the related Cooperative Loan;

(h) No Fraud. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place (i) on the part of the Obligated Party, the Mortgagor, or any other Person, including, without limitation, any servicer, any appraiser, builder, developer, escrow agent, broker or correspondent, closing or settlement agent, closing attorney, realtor, title company or any other party involved in the solicitation, origination, sale or servicing of the Mortgage Loan or in the determination of the value of the Mortgaged Property or the sale of the Mortgaged Property, or (ii) in the application for any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan or in connection with the sale of such Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser, or (iii) that would impair in any way the rights of the Purchaser in the Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property or that violated Applicable Law. No Obligated Party has made any representations to the Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the Mortgage Loan Documents;

(i) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in the United States in the state identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a fee simple interest in a contiguous parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a townhouse or, in the case of a Mortgage Loan secured by Cooperative Shares, leases or occupancy agreements; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by the Underwriting Guidelines, any condominium project or planned unit development shall conform with the applicable Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements regarding such dwellings applicable at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan. If the Mortgage Loan is secured by a long-term residential lease, it satisfies the Lease Requirements.

Unless otherwise permitted by the Underwriting Guidelines, none of the Mortgaged Properties are Manufactured Homes, condotels, agricultural properties, log homes, mobile homes, geodesic domes or other unique property types. As of the respective appraisal date for each Mortgaged Property, no portion of the Mortgaged Property was being used for commercial or mixed-use purposes and since the date of such Appraisal, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial or mixed-use purposes. No Mortgage Loan finances builder inventory.

(j) Valid First Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located, annexed or affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing; and the Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other interest or right superior thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only to:

(i) the lien of the 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 in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy or attorney’s title opinion delivered to the Originator of the Mortgage Loan and (i) referred to or otherwise considered in the Appraisal made for the Originator of the Mortgage Loan and (ii) 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 individually or in the aggregate, 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 in the Company a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan on the property described therein and the Company has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage.

With respect to any Cooperative Loan, the Cooperative Pledge Agreement 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 Corporation for unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the related residential Cooperative 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 which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security interest intended to be provided by such Cooperative Pledge Agreement;

(k) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account of the Mortgagor, and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder. Any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and any and all requirements as to disbursements of escrow funds for such improvements 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;

(l) Ownership. The Company, or MERS as nominee for the Company, is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loan (and with respect to any Cooperative Loan, the sole owner of the related Cooperative Pledge Agreement) and the related Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not assigned or pledged to any other Person, and the Company has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with any other Person, to transfer, assign and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. The Company is transferring the Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all encumbrances, liens, pledges, equities, participation interests, charges, claims (including, but not limited to, any preference or fraudulent transfer claims), agreements with other parties to sell or otherwise transfer the Mortgage Loan or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan except any such interest created pursuant to or in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each sale of the Mortgage Loan from any Prior Owner or the Company, as applicable, was in exchange for fair equivalent value, and the Prior Owner or the Company, as applicable, was solvent both prior to and after the transfer and had sufficient capital to pay and was able to pay its debts as they would generally mature. Following the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser, the Purchaser will own and hold such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all encumbrances, equities, participation interests, liens, pledges, charges, claims (including, but not limited to, any preference or fraudulent transfer claims), agreements with other parties to sell or otherwise transfer the Mortgage Loan or security interest of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan except any such interest created pursuant to or in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(m) Origination/Doing Business. The Mortgage Loan was originated by a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, a credit union, an insurance company, or similar institution that is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority or by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as Originator, mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (i) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (ii) either (A) organized under the laws of such state, (B) qualified to do business in such state, (C) federal savings and loan associations or national banks having principal offices in such state, or (D) not doing business in such state;

(n) Loan-to-Value Ratio, PMI Policy. If a Mortgage Loan had an original Loan-to-Value Ratio of 80% or greater, and the Mortgage Loan Schedule reflects that the Mortgage Loan is covered by a PMI Policy, the excess over 80% is and will be insured as to payment defaults by a PMI Policy until terminated pursuant to the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, 12 U.S.C. §4901, et seq. All provisions of such PMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is valid, binding, enforceable and in full force and effect, all premiums due thereunder have been paid, the form and substance of such PMI Policy is in substantial conformance with primary mortgage insurance policies acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac at the time of origination and 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 of such PMI Policy. The Insurer under such PMI Policy is a Qualified Insurer at the time of origination. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Mortgagor-paid PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the PMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith up to the time it may be discontinued according to Applicable Law. Any such premium is not payable from any portion of the Mortgage Interest Rate. No Mortgage Loan requires payment of such premiums, in whole or in part, by the Purchaser; provided, however, that a PMI Policy will not be required for any Cooperative Loan if (i) the proceeds of such Cooperative Loan were used to purchase a Cooperative Unit at the “insider’s price” when the building was converted to a Cooperative Corporation, (ii) the value of the Cooperative Unit for purposes of establishing the Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination was such “insider’s price,” (iii) the principal balance of the Cooperative Loan at origination was not more than 100% of such “insider’s price.” The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan does not include any such insurance premium.

(o) Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan (except: any (i) Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in the State of Iowa and an attorney’s certificate and/or a certificate of title guaranty has been obtained and (ii) Mortgage Loan secured by Cooperative Shares) is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (which, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, has an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in the current ALTA form) issued at origination and acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac or other generally acceptable form of policy of insurance acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, issued by a Qualified Insurer, insuring the Originator, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (i) and (ii) of Paragraph (j) of this Section 3.02 and 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. 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. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of such lender’s title insurance policy. The Company, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, the assignment to the Purchaser of the Company’s interest in such lender’s title insurance policy does not require any consent of or notification to the Insurer which has not been obtained or made, such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains 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 purchase of the Mortgage Loans as contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no Obligated Party, any servicer or any other Person has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy;

(p) No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note (monetary or otherwise) and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither the Company nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. The Company 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. No foreclosure action is currently being threatened or has begun with respect to the Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Cooperative Loan, there is no default in complying with the terms of the Mortgage Note, the Cooperative Pledge Agreement and the Proprietary Lease and all maintenance charges and assessments (including assessments payable in future installments, which previously became due and owing) have been paid, and the Company has the right under the terms of the Mortgage Note, Cooperative Pledge Agreement and Recognition Agreement to pay any maintenance charges or assessments owed by the Mortgagor;

(q) No Mechanics’ Liens. There are no mechanics’ or materialmen’s or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the 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;

(r) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property and, as of the date the related Mortgage Loan was originated and as of the Closing Date, no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property, as of the date the related Mortgage Loan was originated and as of the Closing Date, is in violation of any applicable zoning law, building law, occupancy law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate and the Company has not received any notice of noncompliance with any use or zoning law, building law, occupancy law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate with respect to the Mortgaged Property;

(s) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby (such as for the enforcement of the lien against the Mortgaged Property), 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 thereon, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and marketable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor or any other Person, or restriction on the Mortgagor or any other Person, including without limitation, any federal, state or local, law, ordinance, decree, regulation, guidance, attorney general action, or other pronouncement, whether temporary or permanent in nature, that would interfere with, restrict or delay, either (a) the ability of the Company, Purchaser or any servicer or any successor servicer to sell the related Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or otherwise, or (b) the ability of the Company, Purchaser or any servicer or any successor servicer to foreclose on the related Mortgage;

(t) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the date of origination, the Mortgaged Property (or with respect to a Cooperative Loan, the related Cooperative Unit) was lawfully occupied in accordance with the Mortgage and under Applicable Law and the Mortgaged Property (or with respect to a Cooperative Loan, the related Cooperative Unit) is lawfully occupied as of the Closing Date. 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 Governmental Authorities and no Obligated Party or any other Person has received any notice regarding any noncompliance with any use or occupancy law, ordinance, regulation, standard, licenses or certificates with respect to such Mortgage Property. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Originator gave due consideration at the time of origination to factors, including, but not limited to, other real estate owned by Mortgagor, the commuting distance to work, appraiser comments and notes, the location of the property and any difference between the mailing address active in the servicing system and the Mortgaged Property address, to evaluate whether the intended occupancy status of the Mortgaged Property as represented by the Mortgagor was reasonable;

(u) No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral, pledged account or other security except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in Paragraph (j) above;

(v) Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under Applicable Law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the mortgagee or the trust to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor;

(w) Acceptable Investment. There are no circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property (or with respect to a Cooperative Loan, the Cooperative Pledge Agreement, the Cooperative Unit or the Cooperative Project), the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become thirty (30) days or more Delinquent, or adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan;

(x) Mortgage Recorded; Transfer of Mortgage Loans. Each original Mortgage was recorded, and all subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions in which such recordation is necessary to perfect the liens against creditors of the Company or are in the process of being recorded;

(y) Mortgaged Property Undamaged. The Mortgaged Property (and with respect to a Cooperative Loan, the related Cooperative Project and Cooperative Unit) is in good repair and undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, hurricane, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended and such Mortgaged Property is in substantially the same condition it was in at the time the most recent Appraised Value was obtained;

(z) Origination; Servicing and Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits. The origination practices used with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in accordance with Applicable Law and the servicing and collection practices used with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, whether such servicing was done by the Company, its affiliates, or any third party or any subservicer or servicing agent of any of the foregoing. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of the Company 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. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments have been capitalized under the Mortgage Note;

(aa) No Condemnation. At origination of the Mortgage Loan there was, and as of the Closing Date, there is, no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the related Mortgaged Property;

(bb) The Appraisal. The Mortgage File contains an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property in conformity (in form and substance) with USPAP standards, satisfies current industry practices and complies with (i) Applicable Laws and (ii), with respect to any Mortgage Loan with an application date on or after April 1, 2011, the Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines (75 Federal Register 77450). The Appraisal was made and signed, prior to the final approval of the Mortgage Loan application, by a Qualified Appraiser (i) who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof and (ii) whose compensation or flow of business is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan.

Any Person performing any property valuation (including the appraiser) had no ownership interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof and received no benefit from, and such Person’s compensation or referral of further business or flow of business from the Originator was not affected by, the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. The selection of the Person performing the property valuation was made independently of the broker (where applicable) and the Originator’s loan sales and loan production personnel;

(cc) Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance. For each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property (including all buildings and improvements thereon), is insured by a Qualified Insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac standards applicable at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan against loss by fire or perils and such hazards as are covered under a standard extended coverage endorsement and such other hazards required to be covered by Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac or are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located pursuant to insurance policies conforming to Accepted Servicing Practices, in an amount which is not less than the Insured Amount. With respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by a condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the project in an amount which is not less than the Insured Amount.

Section 3.03 Repurchase.

(a) It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and the delivery of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Custodian 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. Upon discovery by either the Company, the successor servicer or the Purchaser of any Defective Document or a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 that materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser therein (or that materially and adversely affects the interest of Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the party discovering such Defective Document or a breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. A breach of any of the representations and warranties in Paragraphs (m), (nn), (pp), (qq), (rr), (ss), (tt) and (hhh) of Section 3.02 shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan. Any such breach or Defective Document that causes a Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Purchaser. With respect to any representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 that is made to the Company’s knowledge, if it is discovered that the substance of such representation or warranty was, as of the time made or deemed made, inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser in such Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser shall be entitled to all the remedies to which it would be entitled for a breach of representation or warranty, including without limitation, the repurchase and indemnification requirements contained herein, notwithstanding the Company’s lack of knowledge with respect to the inaccuracy at the time the representation was made.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no Mortgage Loan will be in breach of the representation and warranty set forth in Section 3.02(hhh) unless the application for such Mortgage Loan was taken by the Originator on or after January 10, 2014.

Within (i) sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of a breach of a representation or warranty or (ii) ninety (90) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of any Defective Document, in either case, which materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Purchaser therein, the Company shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such Defective Document or breach is not cured within such 60-day or 90-day period, as applicable, the Company shall, at the Purchaser’s option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price within two (2) Business Days of Purchaser’s demand; subject to any extension granted by the Purchaser to the Company in connection with a Defective Document pursuant to Section 2.03(b). In the event that a breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01, and such breach cannot be cured within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of such breach and such breach materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the Purchaser’s interests therein, then, all of the Mortgage Loans shall, at the Purchaser’s option, be repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase Price. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing and the provisions of Section 2.03(b), if a breach or Defective Document would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage,” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such repurchase must occur within forty-five (45) days from the date the breach or Defective Document was discovered unless such breach is cured during such period. In addition, for purposes of this Section 3.03, any document required to be included in a Mortgage File that is not executed as required or does not strictly comply with all Applicable Laws shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the above, within five (5) Business Days after the earlier of either discovery by, or notice to, the Company of any breach of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 3.02 related to a predatory or abusive lending law, the Company shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price.

Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03 shall occur on a date designated by the Purchaser and shall be accomplished by wire transfer of the Repurchase Price in immediately available funds on the repurchase date to an account designated by the Purchaser.

(b) At the time of repurchase, the Purchaser and the Company shall arrange for the reassignment of the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Company and the delivery to the Company of the related Mortgage File previously delivered by the Company to the Purchaser or its designee. In the event of a repurchase, the Company shall, simultaneously with such reassignment, give written notice to the Purchaser that such repurchase has taken place and amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the Deleted Mortgage Loan from this Agreement.

(c) In addition to such repurchase obligation, the Company shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach or alleged breach of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 3.03 and Section 3.07 to cure or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Purchaser as provided in this Section 3.03 constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02. 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.

Any cause of action against the Company relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Company to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by the Company to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Company by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.

(d) In the event that any Mortgage Loan is held by a REMIC, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which no default is imminent, the Purchaser may, in connection with any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.03, require that the Company deliver, at the Company’s expense, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such repurchase will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of such REMIC (as defined in Section 860F of the Code) or otherwise subject the REMIC to tax, or (ii) cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time.

(e) The Company and the Purchaser agree that the resolution of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to an obligation or alleged obligation of the Company to repurchase a Mortgage Loan due to a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 3.02 hereof shall be, at the Purchaser’s sole option and/or upon a Rating Agency requirement, by Arbitration. The Company and the Purchaser agree that each Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s Procedures for Large, Complex Commercial Disputes (the “Complex Arbitration Procedures”); provided, however, that to the extent the procedures set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto conflict with such Complex Arbitration Procedures, the procedures set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto shall govern unless the parties otherwise agree.

Company shall repurchase such Mortgage Loans from the Purchaser in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof except that there will be no cure period or opportunity to cure.

(b) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, including all Prepayment Premiums received during the related Prepayment Period;

(d) all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Sections 4.08, 4.10 and 4.11, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Section 4.17, Accepted Servicing Practices and the Mortgage Loan Documents;

(e) all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Mortgage Loan Documents;

(f) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased in accordance with Sections 3.03, 3.04 or 3.07 and all amounts required to be deposited by the Company in connection with Section 3.05;

(g) any amounts required to be deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 4.11 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy. Such deposit shall be made from the Company’s own funds, without reimbursement therefor;

(h) any amounts required to be deposited by the Company in connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 4.13; and

(i) any amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Sections 4.18, 4.19 or 4.21.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees need not be deposited by the Company in the Custodial Account, except as otherwise required under Section 4.18. Any interest or earnings on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Company and the Company shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05(c).

The Company shall maintain adequate records with respect to all deposits and withdrawals made pursuant to this Section 4.04. All funds required to be deposited in the Custodial Account shall be held in trust for the Purchaser until withdrawn in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 4.05 Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account. The Company may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the following purposes:

(a) to make distributions to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 4.14;

(b) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the Company’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 and such other amounts as may be collected by the Company from the Mortgagor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Company’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 2.03, 3.03, 3.04, 3.07 or 6.01 or reimburse the Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.05, the Company’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price or reimbursement pursuant to Section 2.03, 3.03, 3.04, 3.07, 6.01 or Section 3.05, respectively, and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loans;

(c) to pay to itself pursuant to Section 4.20 as servicing compensation (i) any interest earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Servicer Remittance Date), and (ii) the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest on a particular Mortgage Loan;

(d) to pay, or to reimburse itself for advances in respect of, expenses incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 4.03(b), but only to the extent of amounts received in respect of the Mortgage Loans to which such expense is attributable; and

(e) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account on the termination of this Agreement.

The Company shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Custodial Account pursuant to such subclauses (b) - (d) above.

Section 4.06 Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts. The Company 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, if requested by the Purchaser, shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts titled “[NAME OF COMPANY], as servicer, in trust for [NAME OF PURCHASER] and/or subsequent purchasers of Mortgage Loans, and various Mortgagors - Escrow.” The Escrow Account shall be established at a Qualified Depository. Upon request of the Purchaser and within ten (10) days thereof, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with written certification acceptable to the Purchaser of the existence of such Escrow Account. Any funds deposited in the Escrow Account shall at all times be insured to the fullest extent allowed by Applicable Law.

The Company shall deposit in the Escrow Account on a daily basis, and retain therein, (i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property. The Company shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth or in accordance with Section 4.07. The Company shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Company shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

For avoidance of doubt, Escrow Payments that have been netted from the Purchase Price and held in the Company’s existing escrow accounts shall continue to be made available to the Mortgagors by the Company (or its designee) through the Servicing Transfer Date and such Escrow Payments shall not be required to be deposited in any Escrow Accounts.

Section 4.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account. Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Company (i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, hazard insurance premiums, PMI Policy premiums, if applicable, and comparable items, (ii) to reimburse the Company for any Servicing Advance made by the Company with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder, (iii) to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan, (iv) for transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to the Company, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, (vii) 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, (viii) to withdraw suspense payments that are deposited into the Escrow Account, (ix) to withdraw any amounts inadvertently deposited in the Escrow Account or (x) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of PMI Policies; Collections Thereunder. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of PMI Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including insurance renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account or the Company’s escrow account, as applicable, which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Company in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or otherwise pursuant to Applicable Law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Company shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The Company assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances to effect such payments and such amounts shall not be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. The obligation of the Company to make such Servicing Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Company if such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The determination by the Company that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Purchaser.

The Company shall maintain in full force and effect, a PMI Policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is required. Such coverage shall be maintained until the Loan-to-Value Ratio of the related Mortgage Loan is reduced to that amount for which Xxxxxx Xxx no longer requires such insurance to be maintained. The Company will not cancel or refuse to renew any PMI Policy in effect on the related Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement PMI Policy for such cancelled or non-renewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Company shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable PMI Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Company, would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 4.18, the Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related PMI Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the PMI Policy. If such PMI Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain a replacement PMI Policy as provided above.

In connection with its activities as servicer, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any PMI Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policies and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any PMI Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any PMI Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.

Section 4.09 Transfer of Accounts. The Company may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different depository institution from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any case, the Custodial Account and Escrow Account shall be established at a Qualified Depository.

Section 4.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. In connection with its activities as servicer, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under any hazard insurance policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policies and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any hazard insurance policy. The Company shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements which are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Boundary Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and such flood insurance has been made available, the Company will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance & Mitigation Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements which are part of such property on a replacement cost basis, (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer, or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 or the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer.

The Company also shall maintain on any REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate and related Servicing Advances and (b) an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 or the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property in accordance with Section 4.17, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Company’s normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. Any cost incurred by the Company in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to the Purchaser, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance need be required by the Company or the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such Applicable Laws as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Company, or upon request to the Purchaser, and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount of, or material change in, coverage to the Company. The Company shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Company shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies currently reflect a General Policy Rating of A:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the policy is located.

Section 4.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy. In the event that the Company shall obtain and maintain a mortgage impairment or blanket policy issued by a Qualified Insurer that has a Best rating of A:X insuring against hazard losses on all Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, the Company shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Company shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Company agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. The Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Purchaser.

Section 4.12 Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance. The Company shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac if the Company were servicing the Mortgage Loans for Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, as the case may be, on all officers, employees or other Persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Company against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance policy shall also protect and insure the Company against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Company from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the amounts acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of the fidelity bond and insurance policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser. The Company shall provide copies of the fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance policy within thirty (30) days from the effective renewal date.

Section 4.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property. In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the person designated by the Purchaser, or in the event such person 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 Company from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Purchaser.

The Company shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Company, manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property (and may temporarily rent the same) in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. If a REMIC election is or is to be made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and any REO Property are held, the Company shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by such REMIC of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(c)(2) of the Code. The Company shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least monthly thereafter. The Company shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Company to the Purchaser. The Company shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one (1) year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Company determines, and gives appropriate notice to the Purchaser, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property.

Section 4.14 Distributions. On each Servicer Remittance Date, the Company shall distribute to the Purchaser all amounts credited to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the preceding Business Day, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05.

Unless otherwise instructed by the Purchaser, all distributions made to the Purchaser on each Servicer Remittance Date will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Purchaser.

With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the prime lending rate as is publicly announced from time to time in the Wall Street Journal, or its successor, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three percentage points (3%), but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law. Such interest shall be paid by the Company to the Purchaser on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day following the day such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with such late payment. The payment by the Company of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Company.

Section 4.15 Remittance Reports. No later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day of the month prior to each Servicer Remittance Date, the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser or its designee a computer tape containing data in a form mutually acceptable to the Purchaser and the Company with respect to the Mortgage Loans for the most recently ended monthly period.

Section 4.16 Statements to the Purchaser. Not later than the fifteenth (15^th) Business Day of the month after each Servicer Remittance Date, the Company shall forward to the Purchaser or its designee a statement prepared by the Company, in a mutually agreeable form, setting forth the status of the Custodial Account as of the close of business on such Servicer Remittance Date and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from the Custodial Account of each category of deposit specified in Section 4.04 and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 4.05. Company shall provide a detailed reconciliation schedule, on a line-item basis, of Servicing Advances to the Purchaser by the fifteenth (15^th) Business Day of each month. Company shall maintain all appropriate supporting documentation relating to any Servicing Advances made under this Agreement.

The Company shall prepare and file any and all tax returns, information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to any Purchaser pursuant to any Applicable Law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the Purchaser to prepare its federal income tax return as any Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time.

The Company shall, within five (5) days of knowledge thereof, notify the Purchaser of any suits, actions or proceedings received from governmental agencies, Mortgagors, consumer protection groups or other regulatory authorities specifically relating to the Mortgage Loans and cooperate fully with the Purchaser to respond promptly and completely to any such matters and similarly to any such matters received by the Purchaser relating to the Company or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans.

Section 4.17 Restoration of Mortgaged Property. The Company need not obtain the approval of the Purchaser prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. For claims greater than $15,000, at a minimum, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Applicable Law, comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:

(a) the Company shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto;

(b) the Company shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring waivers with respect to mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens;

(d) pending repairs or restoration, the Company shall place the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account.

If the Purchaser is named as an additional loss payee, the Company is hereby empowered to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such a claim in the name of the Purchaser.

Section 4.18 Assumption Agreements. The Company shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Company shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related PMI Policy, if any. If the Company reasonably believes it is unable under Applicable Law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, the Company shall enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Where Applicable Law requires a release of the Mortgagor, the Company, with the prior written consent of the insurer under the PMI Policy, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.

In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of prudent mortgage lenders in the state in which the related Mortgaged Property is located. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate, the amount of the Monthly Payment, and the final maturity date of such Mortgage Note may not be changed. The Company shall notify the Purchaser that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by the Company for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement in excess of 1% of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this section or any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Company may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 4.18, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.

Section 4.19 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Company of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Company will immediately notify the Purchaser by a certification of a servicing officer of the Company (a “Servicing Officer”), which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been or will be so deposited, and shall request execution of any document necessary to satisfy the Mortgage Loan and delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Purchaser shall promptly release the related Mortgage documents to the Company and the Company shall prepare and process any satisfaction or release. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account or the Purchaser.

In the event the Company satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage instruments, the Company, upon written demand, shall remit to the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Company shall maintain the fidelity bond insuring the Company against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, including for this purpose collection under any PMI Policy, the Purchaser shall, upon request of the Company and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the requested portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser to the Company. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Company to return the related Mortgage documents to the Purchaser when the need therefor by the Company no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Company has delivered to the Purchaser a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Purchaser to the Company.

Section 4.20 Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its services hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw from the Custodial Account or to retain from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans the amounts provided for as the Company’s Servicing Fee. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 4.18, and late payment charges or otherwise shall be retained by the Company to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Company shall not be permitted to retain any portion of the Prepayment Premiums collected on the Mortgage Loans, which Prepayment Premiums shall be remitted to the Purchaser. The Company shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for herein.

Section 4.21 Notification of Adjustments. On each Adjustment Date, the Company shall make interest rate adjustments for each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan in compliance with the requirements of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. The Company shall execute and deliver the notices required by the Mortgage, Mortgage Note and Applicable Law regarding interest rate adjustments. The Company also shall provide timely notification to the Purchaser of all applicable data and information regarding such interest rate adjustments and the Company’s methods of implementing such interest rate adjustments in accordance with Applicable Law. Upon the discovery by the Company or the Purchaser that the Company has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the Company shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused thereby without reimbursement therefor.

Section 4.22 Access to Certain Documentation. The Company shall provide to the FDIC and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over the Purchaser access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Company required by Applicable Laws. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Company. In addition, access to the documentation will be provided to the Purchaser and any Person identified to the Company by the Purchaser without charge, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices of the Company.

Section 4.23 Reports and Returns to be Filed by the Company. The Company shall file information reports with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.

Section 4.24 Subservicing Agreements Between the Company and Subservicers. The Company, as servicer, may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan by a Subservicer pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement; provided that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related Subservicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder. Each Subservicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by Applicable Law to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement and (ii) a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Xxx approved mortgage servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Company or a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through the Company or otherwise, the Company shall remain obligated and liable to the Purchaser and its successors and assigns for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Company alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. Every Subservicing Agreement entered into by the Company shall contain a provision giving the successor servicer the option to terminate such agreement in the event a successor servicer is appointed. All actions of each Subservicer performed pursuant to the related Subservicing Agreement shall be performed as an agent of the Company with the same force and effect as if performed directly by the Company.

For purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Company.

Section 4.25 Successor Subservicers. Any Subservicing Agreement shall provide that the Company shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement and to either itself directly service the related Mortgage Loans or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which qualifies under Section 4.24. Any Subservicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by any successor to the Company without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Company (or any successor to the Company) shall, for any reason, no longer be the servicer of the related Mortgage Loans.

Section 4.26 No Contractual Relationship Between Subservicer and Purchaser. Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Company alone and the Purchaser shall not be deemed a party thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to any Subservicer except as set forth in Section 4.24.

Section 4.27 Assumption or Termination of Subservicing Agreement by Successor Servicer. In connection with the assumption of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities and of the authority, power and rights of the Company hereunder by a successor servicer pursuant to Section 9.02 of this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that the Company’s rights and obligations under any Subservicing Agreement then in force between the Company and a Subservicer shall be assumed simultaneously by such successor servicer without act or deed on the part of such successor servicer; provided, however, that any successor servicer may terminate the Subservicer.

The Company shall, upon the reasonable request of the Purchaser, but at its own expense, deliver to the assuming party documents and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreements to the assuming party.

The Company shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Company to perform its duties and obligations hereunder and interim service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company immediately shall notify the Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of clarification, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Company’s agreement to indemnify Purchaser for each obligation set forth in this Agreement, including but not limited to the obligations set forth in this Section 7.01, is in consideration for, and is a material inducement to, the Purchaser’s entry into this Agreement. For purposes of further clarification, such consideration is the same for each and every obligation set forth in this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 7.01 shall survive the sale of any Mortgage Loan to a subsequent purchaser, the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan by the Company or the termination of this Agreement.

Section 7.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Company. The Company shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation, and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Any person into which the Company may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Company shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Company, or, subject to Section 7.04, any Person to whom the Company shall sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, shall be the successor of the Company 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 (i) having a GAAP net worth of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) who is a Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac-approved company in good standing, and (iii) having a servicer rating from each Rating Agency at least as high as the servicer rating of the Company as of the date hereof. Furthermore, in the event the Company transfers or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its property or assets to an affiliate of the Company, such affiliate shall satisfy the conditions above and in Section 7.04, and shall also be fully liable to the Purchaser for all of the Company’s obligations and liabilities hereunder.

Neither the Company nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company shall be under any liability to the Purchaser for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment, provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Company or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement or any other liability which would otherwise be imposed under this Agreement. The Company and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company may rely in good faith on any servicing document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by the Purchaser respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Company shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability, provided, however, that the Company may, with the consent of the Purchaser, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the Company shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Purchaser of the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action, unless any such costs result from a breach of the Company’s representations and warranties made herein or its failure to perform its obligations in compliance with this Agreement.

The Purchaser has entered into this Agreement with the Company and subsequent purchasers will purchase the Mortgage Loans in reliance upon the independent status of the Company, and the representations as to the adequacy of its origination and servicing facilities, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing, and the continuance thereof. Therefore, the Company shall not assign this Agreement or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion hereof or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets (i) without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and (ii) unless the Person to whom any such assignment, delegation, sale, or disposal is made meets the requirements of Section 7.02.

Except to the extent provided in Section 7.02, the Company shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Company and the Purchaser.

Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 7.04 and except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, in the event that the Company either shall assign this Agreement or the interim servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its 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 consent of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Company, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Company or any third party.

In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Company’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities as servicer under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the Company shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of the Purchaser or such successor. The termination of the Company as servicer pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 9.02 and shall in no event relieve the Company of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.02, the remedies available to the Purchaser under Sections 2.03, 3.03, 3.04, 3.05, 3.07, 6.01 and 7.01, and the Company’s obligations under Section 7.02, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 2.03, 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04, 3.05, 3.07, 6.01, 7.01 and 7.02 shall be applicable to the Company notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Company, or the termination of this Agreement.

Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company 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 Company, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement provided, however, that such successor shall not assume, and Company shall indemnify such successor for, any and all liabilities arising out of the Company’s acts as servicer. Any termination of the Company as servicer pursuant to Sections 7.04, 8.01, 9.01 or Article X shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against the Company arising prior to any such termination or resignation or remedies with respect to such claims.

The Company shall timely deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Company shall account for all funds. The Company shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company as servicer, including making any transfers on the MERS System. The successor shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse the Company for amounts the Company actually expended as servicer pursuant to this Agreement which the successor is entitled to retain hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.

Assignor and Assignee intend that the transaction hereunder be a sale to Assignee; however, in order to preserve Assignee’s rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum re-characterizes the transaction hereunder as other than a sale, and as security for Assignee’s performance hereunder, Assignor hereby grants Assignee a perfected first-priority interest in all of Assignor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and under the Master Agreement.

In consideration for the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Assignee, the Assignee agrees to pay to the Assignor an amount equal to the sum of (a) the product of (i) the Purchase Price Percentage (as defined in that certain [commitment letter] dated [INSERT DATE] (the “Commitment Letter”), by and between the Assignor and the Assignee) and (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of [INSERT DATE] (the “Cut-off Date”) and (b) accrued and unpaid interest (at the gross weighted average coupon rate) on the Mortgage Loans from the last paid-through date through and including the day prior to the Closing Date (collectively, the “Purchase Price”). The Assignee shall pay the Purchase Price to the Assignor by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Assignor on or before the Closing Date.

The Assignee shall be entitled to all principal received on or after the Cut-off Date, all other recoveries of principal received on or after the Cut-off Date and all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans received on or after the Cut-off Date.

ARBITRATION PROCEDURES

If any allegation of a breach of a representation or warranty made in Section 3.02 has not been resolved to the satisfaction of both the Purchaser and the Company, either party may commence Arbitration to resolve the dispute. To commence Arbitration, the moving party shall deliver written notice to the other party that it has elected to pursue Arbitration in accordance with this Section 3.02; provided that, neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall commence Arbitration with respect to an alleged breach of representation or warranty made in Section 3.02 before one hundred twenty (120) days following notification by the Purchaser to the Company of the alleged breach unless Company has not provided a response to Purchaser’s notification of such an alleged breach within sixty (60) days thereof, in which case Purchaser may commence Arbitration prior to the end of such one hundred twenty (120) day period. Within ten (10) Business Days after a party has provided notice that it has elected to pursue Arbitration, each party may submit the names of one or more proposed Arbitrators to the other party in writing. If the parties have not agreed on the selection of an Arbitrator within five (5) Business Days after the first such submission, then the party commencing Arbitration shall, within the next five (5) Business Days, notify the AAA in New York, NY (the “AAANY”) and request that it appoint a single Arbitrator with experience in arbitrating disputes arising in the financial services industry and who has not been previously rejected by either party.

The finding of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties. Judgment upon any arbitration award rendered may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The costs of the Arbitrator shall be shared equally between both parties. Each party, however, shall bear its own attorney’s fees and costs in connection with the Arbitration. Nothing herein shall be construed as an agreement or consent to Arbitrate any disputes arising between the Company or the Purchaser other than in connection with an allegation of a breach of a representation or warranty made in Section 3.02.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL

[NAME OF PURCHASER]
[ADDRESS]
Attention: [_________]

Re: [NAME OF COMPANY]

Dear Sir/Madam:

I am [General Counsel] of [COMPANY] (the “Company”), with respect to certain matters in connection with the sale by the Company of certain mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) pursuant to that certain Flow Sale and Interim Servicing Agreement by and between the Company and [NAME OF PURCHASER] (the “Purchaser”), dated as of [Month] [Day], 20[_] (the “Agreement”), which sale is in the form of whole Mortgage Loans. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

I have examined the following documents:

the Agreement; and

such other documents, records and papers as I have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for this opinion.

To the extent I have deemed necessary and proper, I have relied upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Agreement. I have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all documents.

Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that;

The Company is a [corporation] duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of [STATE OF COMPANY’S INCORPORATION].

The Company has the power to engage in the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and all requisite power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Agreement and the Mortgage Loans, and to perform and observe the terms and conditions of such instruments.

Each person who, as an officer or attorney-in-fact of the Company, signed (a) the Agreement, and (b) any other document delivered prior hereto or on the date hereof in connection with the sale and servicing of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Agreement and the person was, at the respective times of such signing and delivery, and is, as of the date hereof, duly elected or appointed, qualified and acting and as such officer or attorney-in-fact, and the signatures of such persons appearing on such documents are their genuine signatures.

Exhibit F-1

The Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is a legal, valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms, 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.

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 Agreement, and by original or facsimile signature in order to execute the endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and the assignments of the Mortgages, and the original or facsimile signature of the officer at the Company executing the endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and the assignments of the Mortgages represents the legal and valid signature of said officer of the Company.

Either (i) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or Governmental Authority is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of or compliance by the Company with the Agreement or the sale and delivery of the Mortgage Loans or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement; or (ii) any required consent, approval, authorization or order has been obtained by the Company.

Neither the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, nor the fulfillment of the terms of the Agreement, will conflict with or results in 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.

There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened against the Company which, in my opinion, 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 conducted or in any material liability on the part of the Company or which would draw into question the validity of the Agreement, 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 Agreement.

Exhibit F-2

The sale of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage as and in the manner contemplated by the Agreement is sufficient fully to transfer all right, title and interest of the Company thereto as noteholder and mortgagee.

10.

The form of endorsement that is to be used with respect to the Mortgage Loans is legally valid and sufficient to duly endorse the Mortgage Notes to the Purchaser. Upon the completion of the endorsement of the Mortgage Notes and the completion of the assignments of the Mortgages, and the recording thereof, the endorsement of the Mortgage Notes, the delivery to the Custodian of the completed assignments of the Mortgages, and the delivery of the original endorsed Mortgage Notes to the Custodian would be sufficient to permit the entity to which such Mortgage Note is initially endorsed at the Purchaser’s direction, and to whom such assignment of Mortgages is initially assigned at the Purchaser’s direction, to avail itself of all protection available under Applicable Law against the claims of any present or future creditors of the Company, and would be 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 its date.

Sincerely,

Exhibit X-0

Company Information: As defined in Section 2.04(a)(1)(A).

Reconstitution: Any Securitization or Whole Loan Transfer.

Static Pool Information: Static pool information as described in Item 1l05(a)(l)-(3) and 1105(c) of Regulation AB.

Third-Party Originator: Each Person, other than a Qualified Correspondent, that originated Mortgage Loans acquired by the Company.

ARTICLE II
COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION AB

Section 2.01 Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.

The Purchaser and the Company acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article II of this Regulation AB Compliance Addendum is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission and that the provisions of this Regulation AB Compliance Addendum shall be applicable to all Mortgage Loans included in a Securitization closing on or after January 1, 2006, regardless whether the Mortgage Loans were purchased by the Purchaser from the Company prior to the date hereof. Although current Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the Company acknowledges that (i) investors in privately offered securities may require that the Purchaser or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings and (ii) it is currently contemplated that comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings may soon be required under proposed regulations. 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 Company 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, the Company 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 Company, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans reasonably believed by the Purchaser or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

The Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with the Company by providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required, in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB.

(1)

(A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in any information, report, certification, data, accountants’ letter or other material provided under this Article II by or on behalf of the Company, or provided under this Article II by or on behalf of any Third-Party Originator (collectively, the “Company Information”), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Company Information a material fact required to be stated in the Company Information or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the 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 Company Information and not to any other information communicated in connection with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether the Company Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information;

Addendum 1-5

(2)

any breach by the Company of its obligations under this Article II, including particularly any failure by the Company or any Third-Party Originator to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under this Article II;

any breach by the Company of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 2.02(a) or in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 2.02(b) and made as of a date prior to the closing date of the related Securitization, to the extent that such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach by the Company of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 2.02(b) to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date; or

(4)

the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Company in connection with its performance under this Article II.

If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party, then the Company 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 Company on the other.

In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(ii) of this Section, the Company shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser, any Depositor, as applicable, and each Person responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such Securitization, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such Securitization, 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 Company or any Third-Party Originator.

This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this Agreement.
