association ("Xxxxx Fargo"), as securities administrator (in such capacity, the
"Securities Administrator") and as a servicer and a custodian, JPMORGAN CHASE
BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as a servicer
("JPMorgan"), HOMEQ SERVICING CORPORATION, a New Jersey corporation, as a
servicer ("HomEq" and, together with Xxxxx Fargo in its capacity as servicer and
JPMorgan, the "Servicers"), WMC MORTGAGE CORP., a California corporation, as a

party ("Decision One"), DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY, a national banking

W I T N E S S E T H:
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained,
the parties hereto agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall
elect that four segregated asset pools within the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i)
the Prepayment Premiums, (ii) the Swap Assets, (iii) the Excess Reserve Fund
Account, and (iv) the right of the Offered Certificates to receive Upper-Tier
CarryForward Amounts including, but without duplication, Basis Risk CarryForward
Amounts and the obligation to pay Class IO Shortfalls) be treated for federal
income tax purposes as comprising four REMICs (each, a "Trust REMIC" or, in the
alternative, Pooling-Tier REMIC-1, Pooling-Tier REMIC-2, the Lower-Tier REMIC
and the Upper-Tier REMIC, respectively). The Class X Interest, Class IO Interest
and each Class of Offered Certificates (other than the right of each Class of
Offered Certificates to receive Upper-Tier CarryForward Amounts including, but
without duplication, Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts and the obligation to pay
Class IO Shortfalls) represents ownership of a regular interest in a REMIC for
purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class R Certificates represent ownership
of the sole class of residual interest in each Trust REMIC for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions. The Startup Day for each Trust REMIC described herein is the
Closing Date. The latest possible maturity date for each regular interest is the
latest date referenced in Section 2.05. The Upper-Tier REMIC shall hold as
assets the several classes of uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests, set
out below. The Lower-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the several classes of
uncertificated Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interests. Pooling-Tier REMIC-2
shall hold as assets the several classes of uncertificated Pooling-Tier REMIC-1
Regular Interests. Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 shall hold as assets the assets of the
Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the Prepayment Premiums, (ii) the Swap Assets,
(iii) the Excess Reserve Fund Account, and (iv) the right of the Offered
Certificates to receive Upper-Tier CarryForward Amounts including, but without
duplication, Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts and the obligation to pay Class IO
Shortfalls).
For federal income tax purposes, each Class of Offered
Certificates represents a beneficial ownership of a regular interest in the
Upper-Tier REMIC, the right to receive Upper-Tier CarryForward Amounts
(including, but without duplication, Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts), and the
obligation to pay Class IO Shortfalls; the Class X Certificates represent
beneficial ownership of the Class X Interest, the Class IO Interest, the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the Swap Account, the Excess Reserve Fund Account
and the right to receive Class IO Shortfalls, subject to the obligation to pay
Upper-Tier CarryForward Amounts (including, but without duplication, Basis Risk
CarryForward Amounts); and the Class P Certificates represent beneficial
ownership of the Prepayment Premiums, which portions of the Trust Fund shall be
treated as a grantor trust.
Pooling-Tier REMIC-1
Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 shall issue the following interests in
Pooling-Tier REMIC-1, and each such interest, other than the Class PT1-R
Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1.
Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Interests with an "I" in their designation shall relate to
Loan Group I and Pooling Tier REMIC-1 Interests with a "II" in their designation
shall relate to Loan Group II. Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 shall also issue the Class
PT1-R Interest, which is hereby designated as the sole class of residual
interest in Pooling-Tier REMIC-1. The Class PT1-R Interest shall be represented
by the Class R Certificates, shall not have a principal balance and shall have
no interest rate.

----------------------------
(1) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this
Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interest shall bear interest at a per annum
rate (its "Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rate") equal to the Pooling-Tier
REMIC-1 Loan Group I WAC Rate.
(2) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this
Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interest shall bear interest at a per annum
rate (its "Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rate") equal to the weighted
average of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Interest Rates on the Pooling-Tier
REMIC-1 Regular Interests relating to Loan Group I and having an "A" in
their class designation, provided that, on each Distribution Date on which
interest is distributable on the Corresponding Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 IO
Interest, this Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interest shall bear interest at
a per annum rate equal to Swap LIBOR subject to a maximum rate equal to the
weighted average of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Interest Rates on the
Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interests relating to Loan Group I and having
an "A" in their class designation.
(3) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this
Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interest shall bear interest at a per annum
rate (its "Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rate") equal to the weighted
average of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Interest Rates on the Pooling-Tier
REMIC-1 Regular Interests relating to Loan Group I and having a "B" in
their class designation.
(4) Each Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 IO is an interest-only interest and does not have
a principal balance but has a notional balance ("Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 IO
Notional Balance") equal to the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Principal Amount of
the Corresponding Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Regular Interest. From the Closing
Date through and including the Corresponding Actual Crossover Distribution
Date, each Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 IO Interest shall be entitled to receive
interest that accrues on the Corresponding Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Regular
Interest at a rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Pooling-Tier
REMIC-1 Interest Rate for the Corresponding Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Regular
Interest over (ii) Swap LIBOR. After the Corresponding Actual Crossover
Distribution Date, the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 IO Interest shall not accrue
interest.
(5) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this
Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interest shall bear interest at a per annum
rate (its "Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rate") equal to the Pooling-Tier
REMIC-1 Loan Group II WAC Rate.
(6) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this
Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interest shall bear interest at a per annum
rate (its "Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rate") equal to the weighted
average of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Interest Rates on the Pooling-Tier
REMIC-1 Regular Interests relating to the Group II Mortgage Loans and
having an "A" in their class designation, provided that, on each

(1) The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date for these interests
is a per annum variable rate equal to the weighted average of the
Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rates of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular
Interests (other than the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 IO Interests).
(2) The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date for the Class
LT-Group I Interest is a per annum variable rate (expressed as a percentage
rounded to eight decimal places) equal to the weighted average of the
Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rates of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular
Interests (other than the Pooling Tier REMIC-2 IO Interests) relating to
the Group I Mortgage Loans.
(3) The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date for the Class
LT-Group II Interest is a per annum variable rate (expressed as a
percentage rounded to eight decimal places) equal to the weighted average
of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rates of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2
Regular Interests (other than the Pooling Tier REMIC-2 IO Interests)
relating to the Group II Mortgage Loans.
(4) For all Distribution Dates, the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of these
Lower-Tier Regular Interests shall be rounded to eight decimal places.
(5) This Lower-Tier Regular Interest is an interest-only interest and does not
have a Lower-Tier Principal Amount. On each Distribution Date, this
Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be entitled to receive all interest
distributable on the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 IO Interests.
(6) The Class LT-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest in the
Lower-Tier REMIC and it does not have a principal amount or an interest
rate.
Each Lower-Tier Regular Interest is hereby designated as a
regular interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Class LT-A-1, Class LT-A-2a, Class
LT-A-2b, Class LT-A-2c, Class LT-A-2d, Class LT-M-1, Class LT-M-2, Class LT-M-3,
Class LT-M-4, Class LT-M-5, Class LT-M-6, Class LT-B-1, Class LT-B-2 and Class
LT-B-3 Interests are hereby designated the LT-Accretion Directed Classes (the
"LT-Accretion Directed Classes").
On each Distribution Date, 50% of the increase in the
Subordinated Amount shall be payable as a reduction of the Lower-Tier Principal
Amount of the LT-Accretion Directed Classes (each such Class will be reduced by
an amount equal to 50% of any increase in the Subordinated Amount that is
attributable to a reduction in the Class Certificate Balance of its
Corresponding Class) and shall be accrued and added to the Lower-Tier Principal
Amount of the Class LT-Accrual Interest. On each Distribution Date, the increase
in the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Class LT-Accrual Interest shall not
exceed interest accruals for such Distribution Date for the Class LT-Accrual
Interest. In the event that: (i) 50% of the increase in the Subordinated Amount
exceeds (ii) interest accruals on the Class LT-Accrual Interest for such
Distribution Date, the excess for such Distribution Date (accumulated with all
such excesses for all prior Distribution Dates) will be added to any increase in
the Subordinated Amount for purposes of determining the amount of interest
accrual on the Class LT-Accrual Interest payable as principal on the
LT-Accretion Directed Classes on the next Distribution Date pursuant to the
first sentence of this paragraph. All payments of scheduled principal and
prepayments of principal generated by the Mortgage Loans and all Subsequent
Recoveries allocable to principal shall be allocated (i) 50% to the Class
LT-Accrual Interest, the Class LT-Group I Interest and Class LT-Group II
Interest (and further allocated among these Lower-Tier Regular Interests in the
manner described below) and (ii) 50% to the LT-Accretion Directed Classes (such
principal payments and Subsequent Recoveries shall be allocated among such
LT-Accretion Directed Classes in an amount equal to 50% of the principal amounts
and Subsequent Recoveries allocated to their respective Corresponding Classes),
until paid in full. Notwithstanding the above, principal payments allocated to
the Class X Interest that result in the reduction in the Subordinated Amount
shall be allocated to the Class LT-Accrual Interest (until paid in full).
Realized Losses shall be applied so that after all distributions have been made
on each Distribution Date (i) the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of each of the
LT-Accretion Directed Classes is equal to 50% of the Class Certificate Balance
of their Corresponding Class, and (ii) the Class LT-Accrual Interest, the Class
LT-Group I Interest and the Class LT-Group II Interest (and further allocated
among these Lower-Tier Regular Interests in the manner described below) is equal
to 50% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans plus 50%
of the Subordinated Amount. Any increase in the Class Certificate Balance of a
Class of Offered Certificates as a result of a Subsequent Recovery shall
increase the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular
Interest by 50% of such increase, and the remaining 50% of such increase shall
increase the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Class LT-Accrual Interest, the
Class LT-Group I Interest and the Class LT-Group II Interest (such increase
shall be further allocated among such Lower-Tier Regular Interests in the manner
described below). As among the Class LT-Accrual Interest, the Class LT-Group I
Interest and the Class LT-Group II Interest, all payments of scheduled principal
and prepayments of principal generated by the Mortgage Loans, all Subsequent
Recoveries and all Realized Losses, allocable to such Lower-Tier Regular
Interests and all increases in the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of such
Lower-Tier Regular Interests as a result of Subsequent Recoveries shall be
allocated (i) to the Class LT-Group I Interest and the Class LT-Group II
Interest, each from the related Loan Group so that their respective Lower-Tier
Principal Amounts (computed to at least eight decimal places) are equal to
0.001% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the
related Loan Group and (ii) the remainder to the Class LT-Accrual Interest.
Upper-Tier REMIC
The Upper-Tier REMIC shall issue the following interests, and
each such interest, other than the Class UT-R Interest, is hereby designated as
a regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Class UT-R Interest is hereby
designated as the sole class of residual interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC and
shall be represented by the Class R Certificates.

(1) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) this
interest shall bear interest at the least of (i) the Pass-Through Rate
(determined without regard to the Loan Group I Cap or WAC Cap) for the
Corresponding Class of Certificates, (ii) the Lower-Tier Interest Rate for
the Class LT-Group I Interest (the "Upper-Tier REMIC Loan Group I Rate")
and (ii) the Upper-Tier REMIC WAC Rate.
(2) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) this
interest shall bear interest at the least of (i) the Pass-Through Rate
(determined without regard to the Loan Group II Cap or WAC Cap) for the
Corresponding Class of Certificates, (ii) the Lower-Tier Interest Rate for
the Class LT-Group II Interest (the "Upper-Tier REMIC Loan Group II Rate")
and (ii) the Upper-Tier REMIC WAC Rate.
(3) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) this
interest shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) the Pass-Through Rate
(determined without regard to the WAC Cap) for the Corresponding Class of
Certificates and (ii) the Upper-Tier REMIC WAC Rate.
(4) This interest is an interest-only interest and does not have a principal
balance. On each Distribution Date, the Class IO Interest shall be entitled
to receive all interest distributable on the Class LT-IO Interest. This
interest shall be beneficially owned by the holders of the Class X
Certificates and shall be held as an asset of the Swap Account.
(5) The Class X Interest has an initial principal balance of $79,340,639 but
will not accrue interest on such balance but will accrue interest on a
notional principal balance. As of any Distribution Date, the Class X
Interest shall have a notional principal balance equal to the aggregate of
the Lower-Tier Principal Amounts of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests (other
than the Class LT-IO Interest) as of the first day of the related Interest
Accrual Period. With respect to any Interest Accrual Period, the Class X
Interest shall bear interest at a rate equal to the excess, if any, of the
Upper-Tier REMIC WAC Rate over the product of (i) 2 and (ii) the weighted
average of the Lower-Tier Interest Rates of the Lower-Tier REMIC Interests
(other than the Class LT-IO Interest), where the Lower-Tier Interest Rate
on each of the Class LT-Accrual Interest, Class LT-Group I Interest and
Class LT-Group II Interest is subject to a cap equal to zero and each
LT-Accretion Directed Class is subject to a cap equal to the Upper-Tier
Interest Rate on its Corresponding Class of Upper-Tier Regular Interest.
With respect to any Distribution Date, interest that so accrues on the
notional principal balance of the Class X Interest shall be deferred in an
amount equal to any increase in the Subordinated Amount on such
Distribution Date. Such deferred interest shall not itself bear interest.
(6) The Class UT-R Interest does not have an interest rate or a principal
balance.
On each Distribution Date, interest distributable in respect
of the Lower-Tier Interests for such Distribution Date shall be deemed to be
distributed on the interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC at the rates shown above,
provided that the Class IO Interest shall be entitled to receive interest before
any other interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC.
On each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses, Subsequent
Recoveries and all payments of principal shall be allocated to the Upper-Tier
Interests until the outstanding principal balance of each such interest equals
the outstanding Class Certificate Balance of the Corresponding Class of
Certificates as of such Distribution Date.

and amounts in the Swap Account subject to the obligation to make Net Swap
Payments, Swap Termination Payments and Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts
and, without duplication, Upper Tier Carryforward Amounts. For federal
income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator will treat a Class X
Certificateholder's obligation to make payments from the Excess Reserve
Fund Account or the Swap Account as payments made pursuant to an interest
rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of
each Class of Offered Certificates. Such rights of the Class X

in a portion of the Trust Fund that is treated as a grantor trust under
subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code.
(8) The Class UT-R Interest does not have an interest rate or a principal

Corresponding Class of Upper-Tier Regular Interest but also the right to
receive payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account and the Swap Account
in respect of any Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts and, without duplication,
Upper Tier CarryForward Amounts. Each of these Certificates will also be
subject to the obligation to pay Class IO Shortfalls as described in
Section 8.13. For federal income tax purposes, any amount distributed on
the Offered Certificates on any such Distribution Date in excess of the
amount distributable on their Corresponding Class of Upper-Tier Regular
Interest on such Distribution Date shall be treated as having been paid
from the Excess Reserve Fund Account or the Swap Account, as applicable,
and any amount distributable on such Corresponding Class of Upper-Tier
Regular Interest on such Distribution Date in excess of the amount
distributable on the Offered Certificates on such Distribution Date shall
be treated as having been paid to the Swap Account, all pursuant to, and as
further provided in, Section 8.13. For federal income tax purposes, the
Securities Administrator will treat a Certificateholder's right to receive
payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account or the Swap Account as
payments made pursuant to an interest rate cap contract written by the
Class X Certificateholders.
The minimum denomination for each Class of Certificates, other
than the Class P, Class R and the Class X Certificates, will be $25,000 with
integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The minimum denomination for the
Class P and the Class X Certificates will each be a 1% Percentage Interest in
such Class. The Class R Certificate will represent a 100% Percentage Interest in
such Class.
It is expected that each Class of Certificates will receive
its final distribution of principal and interest on or prior to the Final
Scheduled Distribution Date.

Section 2.01 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans. (a) The Depositor,
concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, hereby sells, transfers,
assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the
Depositor in and to the Trust Fund, and the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust,
hereby accepts the Trust Fund.
(b) In connection with the transfer and assignment of each Mortgage
Loan, the Depositor has delivered or caused to be delivered to Xxxxx Fargo, in
its capacity as Custodian, with respect to the WMC Mortgage Loans and to LaSalle
with respect to the Decision One Mortgage Loans, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders the following documents or instruments with respect to each
Mortgage Loan so assigned:
(i) the original Mortgage Note bearing all intervening endorsements,
endorsed "Pay to the order of _____________, without recourse" and signed
(which may be by facsimile signature) in the name of the last endorsee by
an authorized officer. To the extent that there is no room on the face of
the Mortgage Note for endorsements, the endorsement may be contained on an
allonge, unless the applicable Custodian is advised in writing by the
applicable Responsible Party (pursuant to the applicable Purchase
Agreement) that state law does not so allow;
(ii) the original of any guaranty executed in connection with the
Mortgage Note;
(iii) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or a
certified true copy of such Mortgage submitted for recording. If, in
connection with any Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage cannot be
delivered 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 applicable Responsible Party shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to the applicable Custodian a photocopy of such Mortgage
certified by the applicable Responsible Party to be a true and complete
copy of such Mortgage and shall forward to the applicable Custodian such
original recorded Mortgage within 14 days following the applicable
Responsible Party's receipt of such Mortgage from the applicable public
recording office; or 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;
(iv) the originals of all assumption, modification, consolidation or
extension agreements, with evidence of recording thereon or a certified
true copy of such agreement submitted for recording;
(v) the original Assignment of Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan
endorsed in blank (except with respect to MERS Designated Mortgage Loans);
(vi) the originals of all intervening assignments of Mortgage (if
any) evidencing a complete chain of assignment from the applicable
originator (or MERS with respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan) to
the last endorsee with evidence of recording thereon or a certified true
copy of such intervening assignments of Mortgage submitted for recording,
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
applicable Responsible Party shall deliver or cause to be delivered a
photocopy of such intervening assignment, certified by the applicable
Responsible Party to be a true and complete copy of such intervening
assignment and shall forward to the applicable Custodian such original
recorded intervening assignment within 14 days following the applicable
Responsible Party's receipt of such from the applicable public recording
office; or 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;
(vii) the original mortgagee title insurance policy 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; and
(viii) the original of any security agreement, chattel mortgage or
equivalent document executed in connection with the Mortgage (if
provided).
The applicable Responsible Party shall cause to be delivered to the
applicable Custodian the applicable recorded document promptly upon receipt from
the respective recording office but, solely with respect to the WMC Mortgage
Loans, in no event later than one year from the date such Mortgage Loan was sold
by WMC to the Sponsor.
If any Mortgage has been recorded in the name of Mortgage Electronic
Registration System, Inc. ("MERS") or its designee, no Assignment of Mortgage in
favor of the Trustee will be required to be prepared or delivered and instead,
the applicable Servicer shall take all reasonable actions as are necessary at
the expense of the applicable Responsible Party to cause the Trust to be shown
as the owner of the related Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for the purpose
of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages
maintained by MERS.
From time to time, the Depositor or the applicable Servicer, as
applicable, shall forward to the applicable Custodian additional original
documents, additional documents evidencing an assumption, modification,
consolidation or extension of a Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement upon receipt of such documents. All such mortgage documents held
by the applicable Custodian as to each Mortgage Loan shall constitute the
"Custodial File".
On or prior to the Closing Date, each Responsible Party shall
deliver to the applicable Custodian Assignments of Mortgages, in blank, for each
Mortgage Loan. The Responsible Parties shall cause the Assignments of Mortgages
and complete recording information to be provided to the applicable Servicer in
a reasonably acceptable manner. No later than thirty (30) Business Days
following the later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the
applicable Servicer of the complete recording information for a Mortgage, the
applicable Servicer shall promptly submit or cause to be submitted for
recording, at the expense of the applicable Responsible Party as required
pursuant to the related Purchase Agreement and at no expense to the Trust Fund,
the Trustee, the applicable Servicer, or the Depositor, in the appropriate
public office for real property records, each Assignment of Mortgage referred to
in Section 2.01(b)(v). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for
administrative convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing
costs, the Assignments of Mortgage shall not be required to be completed and
submitted for recording with respect to any Mortgage Loan (i) if the Trustee,
the Custodians and each Rating Agency have received an Opinion of Counsel,
satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee and each Rating Agency to the
effect that the recordation of such Assignments of Mortgage in any specific
jurisdiction is not necessary to protect the Trustee's interest in the related
Mortgage Note, (ii) if such Mortgage Loan is a MERS Designated Mortgage Loan or
(iii) if the Rating Agencies have each notified the Depositor in writing that
not recording any such Assignments of Mortgage would not cause the initial
ratings on any Offered Certificates to be downgraded or withdrawn; provided,
however, that no Servicer shall be held responsible or liable for any loss that
occurs because an Assignment of Mortgage was not recorded, but only to the
extent the applicable Servicer does not have prior knowledge of the act or
omission that causes such loss. Unless the Depositor gives the Servicers notice
to the contrary, the Depositor is deemed to have given the Servicers notice that
the condition set forth in clause (iii) above is applicable. However, with
respect to the Assignments of Mortgage referred to in clauses (i) and (ii)
above, if foreclosure proceedings occur against a Mortgaged Property, the
applicable Servicer shall record such Assignment of Mortgage at the expense of
the applicable Responsible Party (and at no expense to such Servicer) as
required pursuant to the related Purchase Agreement. If the Assignment of
Mortgage is to be recorded, the Mortgage shall be assigned to "Deutsche Bank
National Trust Company, as trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
dated as of April 1, 2006, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Capital I Inc. Trust 2006-HE2." In the
event that any such Assignment of Mortgage is lost or returned unrecorded
because of a defect therein, the applicable Responsible Party shall promptly
cause to be delivered a substitute Assignment of Mortgage to cure such defect
and thereafter cause each such assignment to be duly recorded.
In the event that such original or copy of any document submitted
for recordation to the appropriate public recording office is not so delivered
to the applicable Custodian within one year following the date such Mortgage
Loan was sold by such Responsible Party to the Sponsor, and in the event that
such Responsible Party does not cure such failure within 30 days of discovery or
receipt of written notification of such failure from the Depositor, the related
Mortgage Loan shall, upon the request of the Depositor, be repurchased by such
Responsible Party at the price and in the manner specified in Section 2.03. The
foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the applicable
Responsible Party cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted
for recordation to the appropriate public recording office within the specified
period due to a delay caused by the recording office in the applicable
jurisdiction; provided, that such Responsible Party shall instead deliver a
recording receipt of such recording office or, if such recording receipt is not
available, an officer's certificate of an officer of such Responsible Party,
confirming that such document has been accepted for recording.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
2.01, in those instances where the public recording office retains or loses the
original Mortgage or assignment after it has been recorded, the obligations of
the applicable Responsible Party shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon
delivery by the applicable Responsible Party to the applicable Custodian prior
to the Closing Date of a copy of such Mortgage or assignment, as the case may
be, certified (such certification to be an original thereof) by the public
recording office to be a true and complete copy of the recorded original
thereof.
On or prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver to the
Custodians, a copy of the Data Tape Information in an electronic, machine
readable medium in a form acceptable to the Depositor and the Custodians.
(c) The Depositor does hereby establish, pursuant to the further
provisions of this Agreement and the laws of the State of New York, an express
trust (the "Trust") to be known, for convenience, as "XXXXXX XXXXXXX CAPITAL I
INC. TRUST 2006-HE2" and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company is hereby

Trustee on behalf of the Trust is hereby authorized, to accept the sale,
transfer, assignment, set over and conveyance by the Depositor to the Trust of
all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Trust Fund
(including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loans) pursuant to Section 2.01(a).
The Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trust is hereby directed to enter
into the Interest Rate Swap Agreement.

delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01, and that it holds or will hold such
other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Custodians shall
maintain possession of the related Mortgage Notes in the States of California,

Closing Date, or, with the Depositor's consent, on the Closing Date, certifying
receipt of a Mortgage Note and Assignment of Mortgage for each applicable
Mortgage Loan. The Custodians shall not be responsible to verify the validity,
sufficiency or genuineness of any document in any Custodial File.
Within 90 days after the Closing Date, each Custodian shall, for the
benefit of the Holders of the Certificates, ascertain that all documents
identified in the Document Certification and Exception Report in the form

Servicers and the Trustee a Document Certification and Exception Report, in the
form annexed hereto as Exhibit F, to the effect that, as to each applicable
Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan
paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in such certification

identified in the Document Certification and Exception Report and required to be
reviewed by it are in its possession; (ii) such documents have been reviewed by
it and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan; (iii)
based on its examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information

accurately reflects the information set forth in the Custodial File; and (iv)
each Mortgage Note has been endorsed as provided in Section 2.01 of this
Agreement. The Custodians shall not be responsible to verify the validity,
sufficiency or genuineness of any document in any Custodial File.

the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates, based solely on the list of MERS
Designated Mortgage Loans and screen printouts from the MERS(R) System provided
to such Servicer by each applicable Responsible Party no later than 45 days

is shown as the Investor with respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan on
such screen printouts. If the Trustee is not shown as the Investor with respect
to any MERS Designated Mortgage Loans on such screen printouts, the applicable
Servicer shall promptly notify the applicable Responsible Party of such fact,
and such Person shall then either cure such defect or repurchase such Mortgage
Loan in accordance with Section 2.03.
The Custodians shall retain possession and custody of each
applicable Custodial File in accordance with and subject to the terms and

the Trustee shall notify the Depositor of such failure. The Trustee shall pursue
all legal remedies available to the Trustee against the applicable Responsible
Party under this Agreement, if the Trustee has received written notice from the

the Trustee has received written notice from the Depositor directing the Trustee
to pursue such remedies.
(h) Within 90 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice
to the applicable Responsible Party of any breach of a representation or
warranty set forth on Schedule VI or Schedule VIII, as applicable, that

of the Trustee or the Certificateholders therein, the applicable Responsible
Party shall use its best efforts to promptly cure such breach in all material
respects and, if such defect or breach cannot be remedied, the applicable
Responsible Party shall, at the Depositor's option, purchase such Mortgage Loan
at the Repurchase Price or, if permitted hereunder, substitute a Substitute
Mortgage Loan for such Mortgage Loan, if applicable.
(i) Any substitution of a Substitute Mortgage Loan by a Responsible
Party shall be made in accordance with the substitution procedures set forth in
the applicable Purchase Agreement, which provisions shall be as set forth in
such agreements as if they were set forth herein. With respect to any Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans substituted by the Depositor or any Responsible Party,
the Depositor or such Responsible Party, as applicable, shall deliver to the
applicable Custodian, for the benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage, the related Assignment of Mortgage, and such other documents

Deleted Mortgage Loan.
(j) The applicable Servicer, based upon information provided by the
Depositor or the applicable Responsible Party, as applicable, shall amend the
Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the
removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Substitute

Schedule to the Securities Administrator and the applicable Custodian. Upon such
substitution, the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the
terms of this Agreement in all respects, and, if the substitution is made by the
Depositor, the Depositor shall be deemed to have made with respect to such
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the
representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) with respect to
such Substitute Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt of a Request for Release in
connection with any such substitution indicating the deposit into the applicable
Collection Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection
with such substitution as described in Section 2.03(k), the applicable Custodian
shall release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders
relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the applicable Responsible Party and
the Trustee shall execute and deliver at the direction of the Depositor or the
applicable Responsible Party, as applicable, such instruments of transfer or
assignment prepared by the Depositor or the applicable Responsible Party, as
applicable, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title
in the Depositor or the applicable Responsible Party, as applicable, of the
Trustee's interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this
Section 2.03.
(k) For any month in which the Depositor or any Responsible Party
substitutes one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted
Mortgage Loans, the applicable Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by
which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all such Substitute Mortgage
Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate unpaid principal
balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans. The amount of such shortage, plus an
amount equal to the sum of (i) any accrued and unpaid interest on the Deleted
Mortgage Loans and (ii) all unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to such
Deleted Mortgage Loans, or the amount of any similar shortage with respect to a
Substitute Mortgage Loan substituted by a Responsible Party under this Agreement
(collectively, the "Substitution Adjustment Amount"), shall be deposited into
the applicable Collection Account of the related Servicer by the Depositor or
the Responsible Party, as applicable, on or before the Distribution Account
Deposit Date for the Distribution Date following the Prepayment Period during
which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced
hereunder.
(l) Any Mortgage Loan repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.03 will
be removed from the Trust Fund. The applicable Servicer shall amend the Mortgage
Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal
of any Mortgage Loan repurchased and such Servicer shall deliver the amended
Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Securities Administrator and the applicable
Custodian. For purposes of determining the applicable Repurchase Price, any such
repurchase shall occur or shall be deemed to occur as of the last day of the
applicable Prepayment Period.
(m) In the event that the Depositor or any Responsible Party shall
have repurchased a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement, the Repurchase
Price therefor shall be deposited by the applicable Servicer in the applicable
Collection Account of the related Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10 on or before
the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date following the
Prepayment Period during which the Depositor or such Responsible Party, as
applicable, repurchased such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the
Repurchase Price and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit J
hereto, indicating such deposit, the applicable Custodian shall release the
related Custodial File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such
Person as directed by the applicable Servicer, and the Trustee shall execute and
deliver at such Person's direction such instruments of transfer or assignment
prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse, representation or
warranty, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee.
(n) In addition to any repurchase or substitution obligation by any
Responsible Party under this Agreement, each Responsible Party shall indemnify
the Depositor and its Affiliates, the Securities Administrator, the Servicers,
the Sponsor, the Trustee, the Custodians and the Trust for any breach of any
representation and warranty of such Responsible Party set forth in this
Agreement, in accordance with the indemnification provisions relating to
breaches of representations and warranties (including without limitation, the
representations and warranties set forth in paragraph (aaa) of Schedule VI and
paragraph (yy) of Schedule VIII, as applicable, to this Agreement) and defective
Mortgage Loans set forth in the WMC Purchase Agreement or the Decision One
Purchase Agreement, as applicable, as if such indemnification provisions were
set forth herein for the benefit of the Depositor and its Affiliates, the
Servicers, the Sponsor, the Trustee, the Custodians and the Trust. This
indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(o) It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the
obligation of the Depositor under this Agreement or any Responsible Party under
this Agreement to cure, repurchase or substitute any Mortgage Loan as to which a
breach of a representation and warranty has occurred and is continuing, together
with any related indemnification obligations set forth herein, shall constitute
the sole remedies against such Persons respecting such breach available to
Certificateholders, the Depositor (if applicable), or the Trustee on their
behalf.
The provisions of this Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the
respective Custodial Files to the applicable Custodian for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.
Section 2.04 Execution and Delivery of Certificates. The Trustee
acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and,
concurrently with such transfer and assignment, the Securities Administrator has
executed and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates
in authorized Denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire
ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and
exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and future
Holders of the Certificates.
Section 2.05 REMIC Matters. The Preliminary Statement sets forth the
designations for federal income tax purposes of all interests created hereby.
The "Startup Day" of each Trust REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall
be the Closing Date. The "latest possible maturity date" of the regular interest
in each Trust REMIC is the Distribution Date occurring in March 2036, which is
the Distribution Date in the month following the month in which the latest
maturity date of any Mortgage Loan occurs. Amounts distributable to the Class X
Certificates (prior to any reduction for any Basis Risk Payment or Swap
Termination Payment), exclusive of any amounts received from the Swap Provider,
shall be deemed paid from the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Class X
Interest to the Holders of the Class X Certificates prior to distribution of any
Basis Risk Payments to the Offered Certificates. For federal income tax
purposes, any amount distributed on the Offered Certificates on any Distribution
Date in excess of the amount distributable on their Corresponding Class of
Upper-Tier Regular Interest on such Distribution Date shall be treated as having
been paid from the Excess Reserve Fund Account or the Swap Account, as
applicable, and any amount distributable on such Corresponding Class of
Upper-Tier Regular Interest on such Distribution Date in excess of the amount
distributable on the Corresponding Class of Offered Certificates on such
Distribution Date shall be treated as having been paid to the Swap Account, all
pursuant to and as further provided in Section 8.13.
Section 2.06 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The
Depositor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Trustee and the
Servicers that as of the date of this Agreement or as of such date specifically
provided herein:
(a) The Depositor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing

accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and by general

proceeding in equity or at law);
(d) No consent, approval, authorization or order of or registration
or filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or court is required
for the execution, delivery and performance of or compliance by the Depositor
with this Agreement or the consummation by the Depositor of any of the
transactions contemplated hereby, except as have been made on or prior to the
Closing Date;
(e) None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the
fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
(i) conflicts or will conflict with or results or will result in a breach of, or
constitutes or will constitute a default or results or will result in an
acceleration under (A) the charter or bylaws of the Depositor, or (B) of any

obligations under this Agreement, or the validity or enforceability of this
Agreement;
(g) The Depositor is not in default with respect to any order or
decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state,
municipal or governmental agency that may materially and adversely affect its

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01 Servicers to Service Mortgage Loans. (a) For and on
behalf of the Certificateholders, each Servicer shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans for which it is acting as Servicer in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans and, to the extent
consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which it services and
administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due
consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of mortgage lenders
and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but without regard to:
(i) any relationship that such Servicer, any Subservicer or any
Affiliate of such Servicer or any Subservicer may have with the related
Mortgagor;
(ii) the ownership or non-ownership of any Certificate by such
Servicer or any Affiliate of such Servicer;
(iii) such Servicer's obligation to make P&I Advances or Servicing
Advances; or
(iv) such Servicer's or any Subservicer's right to receive
compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any particular
transaction.
To the extent consistent with the foregoing, each Servicer shall
seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on
the Mortgage Notes. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and
the terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, each Servicer
shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through Subservicers as
provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in
connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or
desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Servicer in
its own name or in the name of a Subservicer is hereby authorized and empowered
by the Trustee when the applicable Servicer believes it appropriate in its best
judgment in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, to execute and deliver
any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full
release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the
Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure
proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the
ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such
properties, on behalf of the Trustee. Each Servicer shall service and administer
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law and shall
provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby.
Each Servicer covenants that its computer and other systems used in servicing
the Mortgage Loans operate in a manner such that the applicable Servicer can
service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. Each Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this
Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any
standard hazard insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.16, the Trustee or the
Custodian, as applicable, shall execute, at the written request of a Servicer,
and furnish to such Servicer and any Subservicer such documents provided to the
Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, as are necessary or appropriate to
enable such Servicer or any Subservicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee hereby grants to each Servicer,
and this Agreement shall constitute, a power of attorney to carry out such
duties, including a power of attorney in the form of Exhibit Q hereto to take
title to Mortgaged Properties after foreclosure in the name of and on behalf of
the Trustee. The Trustee shall execute a separate power of attorney in favor of
each Servicer for the purposes described herein to the extent necessary or
desirable to enable each Servicer to perform its duties hereunder. The Trustee
shall not be liable for the actions of any Servicer or any Subservicers under
such powers of attorney. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, no Servicer or Subservicer shall without the Trustee's consent: (i)
initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee's name without
indicating such Servicer's or Subservicer's, as applicable, representative
capacity, or (ii) take any action with the intent to, or which actually does
cause, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.
(b) Subject to Section 3.09(b), in accordance with the standards of
the preceding paragraph, each Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced
funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and
assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing
Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the
Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09(b), and further as provided in Section 3.11.
Any cost incurred by a Servicer or by Subservicers in effecting the timely
payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not be added to
the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that
the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a
Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan
(except as provided in Section 4.01) and none of the Servicers shall (i) permit
any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the
Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except for reductions
resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date
on such Mortgage Loan (except for a reduction of interest payments resulting
from the application of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act or any similar state
statutes) or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of
any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of such
Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or final, temporary or proposed
Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust REMIC to
fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on
"prohibited transactions" or "contributions after the startup date" under the
REMIC Provisions, or (iii) except as provided in Section 3.07(a), waive any
Prepayment Charges.
(d) Each Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this
Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release such
Servicer from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.
(e) In the event that the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to any
Mortgage Loan contain provisions requiring the related Mortgagor to submit to
binding arbitration any disputes arising in connection with such Mortgage Loan,
the applicable Servicer shall be entitled to waive any such provisions on behalf
of the Trust and to send written notice of such waiver to the related Mortgagor,
although the Mortgagor may still require arbitration of such disputes at its
option.
Section 3.02 Subservicing Agreements between a Servicer and
Subservicers. (a) Each Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements with
Subservicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans
("Subservicing Agreements"). Each Servicer represents and warrants to the other
parties hereto that, except as otherwise set forth herein, no Subservicing
Agreement is in effect as of the Closing Date with respect to any Mortgage Loans
required to be serviced by it hereunder. The applicable Servicer shall give
notice to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator of any such Subservicer
and Subservicing Agreement, which notice shall contain all information
(including without limitation a copy of the Subservicing Agreement) reasonably
necessary to enable the Securities Administrator, pursuant to Section 8.12(g),
to accurately and timely report the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant
to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be
filed under the Exchange Act). No Subservicing Agreement shall be effective
until 30 days after such written notice is received by both the Depositor and
the Securities Administrator. The Securities Administrator shall not be required
to review or consent to such Subservicing Agreements and shall have no liability
in connection therewith.
(b) Each Subservicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in
the state or states in which 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, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan originator by the
Federal Housing Administration or an institution that has deposit accounts
insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Freddie Mac or Xxxxxx Xxx approved mortgage
servicer. Each Subservicing Agreement must impose on the Subservicer
requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide
for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
Each Servicer will examine each Subservicing Agreement to which it is a party
and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Subservicing
Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement.
Each Servicer and the respective Subservicers may enter into and make amendments
to the Subservicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Subservicing
Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall
be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no
such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be
reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Trustee,
without the consent of the Trustee. Any variation without the consent of the
Trustee from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating to insurance or
priority requirements of Subservicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the
Subservicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the
Subservicers to such Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with
this Agreement and therefore prohibited. Each Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor copies of all
Subservicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly
upon such Servicer's execution and delivery of such instruments.
(c) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, each Servicer
(except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the
benefit of the Trustee, shall enforce the obligations of each Subservicer under
the related Subservicing Agreement to which such Servicer is a party, including,
without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent
payments as required by a Subservicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including,
without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Subservicing
Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form
and carried out to such an extent and at such time as such Servicer, in its good
faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage
Loans. Each Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense,
and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from
such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts
due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of
costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against the party against whom such
enforcement is directed.
(d) Each Servicer shall cause any Subservicer engaged by such
Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Depositor and the
Trustee to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.02 and with Sections
3.22, 3.23, 6.02 and 6.05 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such
Subservicer were such Servicer, and to provide the information required with
respect to such Subservicer under Section 8.12 of this Agreement. Such Servicer
shall be responsible for obtaining from each such Subservicer and delivering to
applicable Persons any servicer compliance statement required to be delivered by
such Subservicer under Section 3.22 and any assessment of compliance report and
related accountant's attestation required to be delivered by such Subservicer
under Section 3.23, in each case as and when required to be delivered.
(e) Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.02(e),
each Servicer and any Subservicer engaged by such Servicer is permitted to
utilize one or more Subcontractors to perform certain of its obligations
hereunder. Such Servicer shall promptly upon request provide to the Depositor a
written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor) of the
role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by such Servicer or any such
Subservicer, specifying no later than the date specified for delivery of the
annual report on assessment of compliance set forth in Section 3.23(d) (i) the
identity of each such Subcontractor, if any, that is "participating in the
servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (ii)
which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of
compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (i) of
this paragraph. As a condition to the utilization by such Servicer or any such
Subservicer of any Subcontractor determined to be "participating in the
servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, such
Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor used by such Servicer (or by any
such Subservicer) for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee to comply
with the provisions of Section 3.23 of this Agreement to the same extent as if
such Subcontractor were such Servicer. Such Servicer shall be responsible for
obtaining from each such Subcontractor and delivering to the applicable Persons
any assessment of compliance report and related accountant's attestation
required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 3.23, in each case
as and when required to be delivered.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Servicer engages a Subcontractor
in connection with the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement,
such Servicer shall be responsible for determining whether such Subcontractor is
a "servicer" within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and whether any
such affiliate or third-party vendor meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i)
through (iii) of Regulation AB. If a Servicer determines, pursuant to the
preceding sentence, that such Subcontractor is a "servicer" within the meaning
of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i)
through (iii) of Regulation AB, then such Subcontractor shall be deemed to be a
Subservicer for purposes of this Agreement, the engagement of such Subservicer
shall not be effective unless and until notice is given pursuant to Section
3.02(a) and such Servicer shall comply with Section 3.02(d) with respect
thereto.
(f) As of the Closing Date, JPMorgan has appointed Chase Home
Finance LLC ("CHF") to act as the sole Subservicer pursuant to a Subservicing
Agreement (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit W) with respect to
JPMorgan's servicing obligations under this Agreement. So long as JPMorgan is
not a rated servicer by each Rating Agency, JPMorgan agrees that prior to
replacing CHF as Subservicer, other than with an affiliate of JPMorgan that is a
rated servicer, it will obtain confirmation from each Rating Agency that such
replacement of CHF as Subservicer with respect to JPMorgan's servicing
obligations related to the Mortgage Loans will not cause the then current rating
on any Class of Certificates to be qualified, withdrawn or lowered by any Rating
Agency and agrees that any replacement subservicer shall agree to subservice in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to the
consideration of whether to waive a Prepayment Charge hereunder.
Section 3.03 Successor Subservicers. Each Servicer shall be entitled
to terminate any Subservicing Agreement to which such Servicer is a party and
the rights and obligations of any Subservicer pursuant to any such Subservicing
Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing
Agreement; provided, however, that the termination, resignation or removal of a
Subservicer shall not be effective until 30 days after written notice is
received by both the Depositor and the Securities Administrator that contains
all information reasonably necessary to enable the Securities Administrator,
pursuant to Section 8.12(g), to accurately and timely report the event under
Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the
Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act). In the event of
termination of any Subservicer, all servicing obligations of such Subservicer
shall be assumed simultaneously by the applicable Servicer party to the related
Subservicing Agreement without any act or deed on the part of such Subservicer
or such Servicer, and such Servicer either shall service directly the related
Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor
Subservicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any Subservicing Agreement shall include the provision that such
agreement may be immediately terminated by the Depositor or the Trustee without
fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the
Servicer who is party to the related Subservicing Agreement shall, for any
reason, no longer be a Servicer (including termination due to an Event of
Default).
Section 3.04 Liability of the Servicers. Notwithstanding any
Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to
agreements or arrangements between a Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to
actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, such Servicer shall remain
obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee for the servicing and
administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section
3.01 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
such Servicer alone were servicing and administering such Mortgage Loans. Each
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer for
indemnification of such Servicer by such Subservicer and nothing contained in
this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
Section 3.05 No Contractual Relationship between Subservicers and
the Trustee. Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer
in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the
related Servicer alone, and the Trustee (or any other successor to such
Servicer) shall not be deemed a party thereto and shall have no claims, rights,
obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set
forth in Section 3.06. Each Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by
it to any Subservicer, irrespective of whether such Servicer's compensation
pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.
Section 3.06 Assumption or Termination of Subservicing Agreements by
Trustee. In the event a Servicer at any time shall for any reason no longer be a
Servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default), the
Trustee, as successor servicer, or its designee, or another successor servicer
if the successor is not the Trustee, shall thereupon assume all of the rights
and obligations of such Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement that such
Servicer may have entered into, with copies thereof provided to the Trustee, or
another successor servicer if the successor is not the Trustee, prior to the
Trustee, or such other successor servicer if the successor is not the Trustee,
assuming such rights and obligations, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any
Subservicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 3.03.
Upon such assumption, the Trustee, as successor servicer, its
designee or the successor servicer shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to
have assumed all of such Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced such
Servicer as a party to each Subservicing Agreement to which the predecessor
servicer was a party to the same extent as if each Subservicing Agreement had
been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) such Servicer shall not
thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any such Subservicing
Agreement that arose before it ceased to be a Servicer and (ii) none of the
Depositor, the Trustee, their designees or any successor to such Servicer shall
be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of such Servicer that
arose before it ceased to be a Servicer.
Each Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, its
designee or the successor servicer deliver to the assuming party all documents
and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement to which it is a party and
the Mortgage Loans then being serviced by it and an accounting of amounts
collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best efforts to
effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreements to the
assuming party.
Section 3.07 Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments. (a) Each
Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under
the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such
procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions
of any applicable Insurance Policies, follow such collection procedures as it
would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and
held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing and Accepted Servicing
Practices, each Servicer may (i) waive any late payment charge or, if
applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the Due Dates for the Scheduled
Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180 days;
provided that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the
amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation
hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such arrangement
pursuant to clause (ii) above, the applicable Servicer shall make timely
advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.01
and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without
modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, subject to Section 4.01(d)
pursuant to which such Servicer shall not be required to make any such advances
that are Nonrecoverable P&I Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Servicer
may waive, or permit a Subservicer to waive, in whole or in part, a Prepayment
Charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver relates to a
default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable
judgment of such Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into
account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan;
provided, however, that the applicable Servicer or Subservicer shall waive such
Prepayment Charge if the Mortgage Loan is accelerated or paid-off in connection
with the workout of a delinquent Mortgage Loan or due to the related Mortgagor's
default, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan or federal or state
law might permit the imposition of such Prepayment Charge, (ii) such Prepayment
Charge is not permitted to be collected by applicable federal, state or local
law or regulation or (iii) the collection of such Prepayment Charge would be
considered "predatory" pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any
applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority acting in its official
capacity and having jurisdiction over such matters. If a Prepayment Charge is
waived other than as permitted by the prior sentence, then the applicable
Servicer is required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the
benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates, by depositing such amount
into the related Collection Account together with and at the time that the
amount prepaid on the related Mortgage Loan is required to be deposited into the
related Collection Account; provided, however, that the applicable Servicer
shall not have an obligation to pay the amount of any uncollected Prepayment
Charge if the failure to collect such amount is the direct result of inaccurate
or incomplete information on the Mortgage Loan Schedule in effect at such time.
(b) (i) The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain
the Excess Reserve Fund Account, on behalf of the Class X Certificateholders, to
receive any Basis Risk Payment and to secure their limited recourse obligation
to pay to the Offered Certificateholders Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts (prior
to using any Net Swap Receipts). For the avoidance of doubt, any Basis Risk
CarryForward Amounts shall be paid to the Offered Certificates first from the
Excess Reserve Fund Account and then from the Swap Account.
(ii) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall
deposit the amount of any Basis Risk Payment for such date into the Excess
Reserve Fund Account.
(c) (i) On each Distribution Date on which there exists a Basis Risk
CarryForward Amount on any Class of Certificates, the Securities Administrator
shall (1) withdraw from the Distribution Account and deposit in the Excess
Reserve Fund Account, as set forth in Section 4.02(a)(iii)(S), the lesser of (x)
the Class X Distributable Amount (without regard to the reduction in clause
(iii) in the definition thereof) (to the extent remaining after the
distributions specified in Sections 4.02(a)(iii)(A)-(R)) and (y) the aggregate
Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts for such Distribution Date and (2) withdraw from
the Excess Reserve Fund Account amounts necessary to pay to such Class or
Classes of Certificates the Basis Risk CarryForward Amount. Such payments, along
with payments from the Swap Account, shall be allocated to those Classes on a
pro rata basis based upon the amount of Basis Risk CarryForward Amount owed to
each such Class and shall be paid in the priority set forth in Section
4.02(a)(iii)(T).
(ii) The Securities Administrator shall account for the Excess
Reserve Fund Account as an asset of a grantor trust under subpart E, Part
I of the subchapter J of the Code and not an asset of any Trust REMIC. The
beneficial owners of the Excess Reserve Fund Account are the Class X
Certificateholders. For all federal tax purposes, amounts transferred by
the Upper-Tier REMIC to the Excess Reserve Fund Account shall be treated
as distributions by the Securities Administrator to the Class X
Certificateholders.
(iii) Any Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts paid by the Securities
Administrator to the Offered Certificateholders shall be accounted for by
the Securities Administrator as amounts paid first to the Holders of the
Class X Certificates and then to the respective Class or Classes of
Offered Certificates. In addition, the Securities Administrator shall
account for the Offered Certificateholders' rights to receive payments of
Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts (along with payments of Basis Risk
CarryForward Amounts and Upper-Tier CarryForward Amounts from the Swap
Account) as rights in a limited recourse interest rate cap contract
written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of the Offered
Certificateholders.
(iv) Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement, the
Securities Administrator shall not be required to make any payments from
the Excess Reserve Fund Account except as expressly set forth in this
Section 3.07(c) and Sections 4.02(a)(iii)(T) and (V).
(d) The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain the
Distribution Account on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Depositor shall
cause to be deposited into the Distribution Account on the Closing Date the
Closing Date Deposit Amount. The Securities Administrator shall, promptly upon
receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account and retain therein the following:
(i) the aggregate amounts remitted by the Servicers to the
Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 3.11;
(ii) any amounts deposited by the Servicers pursuant to Section
3.12(b) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments; and
(iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be
deposited in the Distribution Account.
In the event that any Servicer shall remit any amount not required
to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Securities Administrator in
writing to withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account, any provision
herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by
delivering notice to the Securities Administrator which describes the amounts
deposited in error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the
Distribution Account shall be held by the Securities Administrator in trust for
the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or
withdrawn in accordance with Section 4.02.
(e) The Securities Administrator may invest the funds in the
Distribution Account, in one or more Permitted Investments, in accordance with
Section 3.12. Each Servicer shall direct the Securities Administrator to
withdraw from the Distribution Account and to remit to such Servicer no less
than monthly, all income and gain realized from the investment of the portion of
funds deposited in the Distribution Account by such Servicer (except during the
Securities Administrator Float Period). The Securities Administrator may
withdraw from the Distribution Account any income or gain earned from the
investment of funds deposited therein during the Securities Administrator Float
Period for its own benefit.
(f) Each Servicer shall give notice to the Securities Administrator,
and the Securities Administrator shall give notice to each Rating Agency and the
Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the related Collection
Account within a reasonable period of time prior to any change thereof.
(g) In order to comply with its duties under the USA Patriot Act of
2001, the Securities Administrator shall obtain and verify certain information
and documentation from the other parties to this Agreement including, but not
limited to, each such party's name, address and other identifying information.
(h) In order to comply with laws, rules and regulations applicable
to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist
activities and money laundering, the Trustee is required to obtain, verify and
record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a
business relationship with the Trustee. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees
to provide to the Trustee upon its request from time to time such party's
complete name, address, tax identification number and such other identifying
information together with copies of such party's constituting documentation,
securities disclosure documentation and such other identifying documentation as
may be available for such party.
(i) On or prior to the Determination Date, each Custodian shall
deliver an invoice to the Securities Administrator, setting forth the amount of
each Custodian Fee for the related Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date,
the Securities Administrator shall remit each Custodian Fee to the applicable
Custodian from funds in the Distribution Account.
Section 3.08 Subservicing Accounts. In those cases where a
Subservicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement,
the Subservicer will be required to establish and maintain one or more
segregated accounts (collectively, the "Subservicing Account"). The Subservicing
Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall otherwise be acceptable to the
related Servicer. The Subservicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which
account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments
and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing
activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after
the Subservicer's receipt thereof, all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by
the Subservicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by the
Subservicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the
Subservicing Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit
of such funds into the clearing account. The Subservicer shall thereafter
deposit such proceeds in the related Collection Account of the applicable
Servicer or remit such proceeds to such Servicer for deposit in the related
Collection Account of such Servicer not later than two Business Days after the
deposit of such amounts in the Subservicing Account. For purposes of this
Agreement, such Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the
Mortgage Loans when the Subservicer receives such payments.
Section 3.09 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Escrow Accounts. (a) Each Servicer shall enforce the obligations under each
paid-in-full, life-of-the-loan tax service contract in effect with respect to
each First Lien Mortgage Loan (each, a "Tax Service Contract") serviced by such
Servicer. Each Tax Service Contract shall be assigned to the Trustee, or a
successor servicer at the applicable Servicer's expense in the event that a
Servicer is terminated as Servicer of the related Mortgage Loan.
(b) To the extent that the services described in this paragraph (b)
are not otherwise provided pursuant to the Tax Service Contracts described in
paragraph (a) above, each Servicer undertakes to perform such functions with
respect to the Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicer. To the extent the
related Mortgage provides for Escrow Payments, the related Servicer shall
establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more
segregated accounts (the "Escrow Accounts"), which shall be Eligible Accounts.
Each Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an
Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on
mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a
daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after such Servicer's
receipt thereof, all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from
Subservicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums
and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors ("Escrow Payments")
collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter deposit such
Escrow Payments in the Escrow Accounts, in no event more than two Business Days
after the deposit of such funds in the clearing account, for the purpose of
effecting the payment of any such items as required under the terms of this
Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from an Escrow Account may be made only to (i)
effect payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable
items; (ii) reimburse such Servicer (or a Subservicer to the extent provided in
the related Subservicing Agreement) out of related collections for any advances
made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and
Section 3.13 (with respect to hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any
sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as
described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account; (v) clear and
terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of such Servicer's obligations
and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement; (vi)
to transfer such funds to a replacement Escrow Account that meets the
requirements hereof; or (vii) recover amounts deposited in error. As part of its
servicing duties, each Servicer or Subservicers shall pay to the Mortgagors
interest on funds in Escrow Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the
extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Accounts is insufficient, to
pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement
therefor. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments,
the applicable Servicer shall determine whether any such payments are made by
the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged
Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure of a tax lien. The applicable
Servicer assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills within
such time and shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the
Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the
Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such
payments; provided, however, that such advances are deemed to be Servicing
Advances.
Section 3.10 Collection Accounts. (a) On behalf of the Trustee, each
Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and
maintained, one or more separate Eligible Accounts (each such account or
accounts, a "Collection Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee.
On behalf of the Trustee, each Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited
in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it
customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection
with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
more than one Business Day after such Servicer's receipt thereof, and shall
thereafter deposit in the related Collection Account, in no event more than two
Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, as and
when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and
collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in
respect of principal or interest on the related Mortgage Loans due on or before
the Cut-off Date), or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it
on or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent
thereto:
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related
Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds to the extent
such Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds are not to be applied to
the restoration of the related Mortgaged Property or released to the
related Mortgagor in accordance with the express requirements of law or in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and Liquidation Proceeds;
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12
in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments with
respect to funds held in the related Collection Account;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by such Servicer pursuant
to the second paragraph of Section 3.13(a) in respect of any blanket
policy deductibles;
(vi) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in
accordance with this Agreement; and
(vii) all Prepayment Charges collected or paid (pursuant to Section
3.07(a)) by such Servicer.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts
shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, NSF
fees, reconveyance fees, assumption fees and other similar fees and charges need
not be deposited by each Servicer in the related Collection Account and shall,
upon collection, belong to the applicable Servicer as additional compensation
for its servicing activities. In the event a Servicer shall deposit in the
related Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it
may at any time withdraw such amount from its Collection Account, any provision
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) Funds in the Collection Accounts may be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. Each
Servicer shall give notice to the Securities Administrator of the location of
the related Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to
any change thereof in accordance with Section 3.07(f).
Section 3.11 Withdrawals from the Collection Accounts. (a) Each
Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the related Collection
Account for any of the following purposes or as described in Section 4.01:
(i) on or prior to each Remittance Date, to remit to the Securities
Administrator all Available Funds (without reduction for amounts owed to
the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodians
as provided for in the definition of "Available Funds") in respect of the
related Distribution Date together with all amounts representing
Prepayment Charges from the Mortgage Loans received by the applicable
Servicer during the related Prepayment Period;
(ii) to reimburse such Servicer for P&I Advances, but only to the
extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of the
related Servicing Fees) of Scheduled Payments on Mortgage Loans with
respect to which such P&I Advances were made in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.01 (such Servicer's right for recovery or
reimbursement has priority over the Trust as stated in the definition of
"Available Funds");
(iii) to pay such Servicer or any Subservicer (a) any unpaid
Servicing Fees or (b) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to
each Mortgage Loan serviced by such Servicer or Subservicer, but only to
the extent of any Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or other amounts as may be collected by such
Servicer from a Mortgagor, or otherwise received with respect to such
Mortgage Loan (or the related REO Property) (such Servicer's right for
recovery or reimbursement has priority over the Trust as stated in the
definition of "Available Funds");
(iv) to pay to such Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition
to the Servicing Fee) on each Remittance Date any interest or investment
income earned on funds deposited in its Collection Account;
(v) to pay to the applicable Responsible Party or the Depositor, as
applicable, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously been
repurchased or replaced pursuant to this Agreement, all amounts received
thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or substitution, as further
described herein;
(vi) to reimburse such Servicer for (A) any P&I Advance or Servicing
Advance previously made which such Servicer has determined to be a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 and (B) any unpaid
Servicing Fees related to any Second Lien Mortgage Loan to the extent not
recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or other amounts
received with respect to the related Second Lien Mortgage Loan under
Section 3.11(a)(iii) (such Servicer's right for recovery or reimbursement
has priority over the Trust as stated in the definition of "Available
Funds");
(vii) to pay, or to reimburse such Servicer for advances in respect
of, expenses incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan serviced by
such Servicer pursuant to Section 3.15 (such Servicer's right for recovery
or reimbursement has priority over the Trust);
(viii) to reimburse such Servicer or the Depositor for expenses
incurred by or reimbursable to such Servicer or the Depositor, as the case
may be, pursuant to Section 6.03 (such Xxxxxxxx's right for recovery or
reimbursement has priority over the Trust as stated in the definition of
"Available Funds");
(ix) to reimburse such Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be,
for expenses reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or defect giving
rise to the repurchase obligation of any Responsible Party or the
Depositor, as applicable, that were included in the Repurchase Price of
the Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising out of the enforcement
of the repurchase obligation, to the extent not otherwise paid pursuant to
the terms hereof (such Servicer's right for recovery or reimbursement has
priority over the Trust as stated in the definition of "Available Funds");
(x) to withdraw any amounts deposited in the related Collection
Account in error;
(xi) to withdraw any amounts held in the related Collection Account
and not required to be remitted to the Securities Administrator on the
Remittance Date occurring in the month in which such amounts are deposited
into such Collection Account, to reimburse such Servicer for unreimbursed
P&I Advances;
(xii) to invest funds in Permitted Investments in accordance with
Section 3.12; and
(xiii) to clear and terminate the related Collection Account upon
termination of this Agreement.
(b) Each Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the related Collection Account, to the extent held by or on
behalf of it, pursuant to subclauses (a)(ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii)
and (ix) above. Each Servicer shall provide written notification (as set forth
in Section 4.01(d)) to the Securities Administrator, on or prior to the next
succeeding Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from the related
Collection Account pursuant to subclause (a)(vi) above.
(c) Each Servicer shall be responsible for reviewing and reconciling
the applicable Collection Account in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices. Each Servicer shall act promptly to resolve any discrepancies.
Section 3.12 Investment of Funds in the Collection Accounts and the
Distribution Account. (a) Each Servicer may invest the funds in the related
Collection Account and the related Escrow Account (to the extent permitted by
law and the related Mortgage Loan documents) and the Securities Administrator
may (but is not obligated to) invest funds in the Distribution Account during
the Securities Administrator Float Period, and, with respect to the portion of
funds in the Distribution Account deposited by a Servicer, shall (except during
the Securities Administrator Float Period) invest such funds in the Distribution
Account at the direction of such Servicer in the Xxxxx Fargo Advantage Prime
Investments Money Market Fund (for purposes of this Section 3.12, such Account
is referred to as the "Investment Account"). All such Permitted Investments
shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in
an Investment Account (other than investments made during the Securities
Administrator Float Period) shall be made in the name of the Securities
Administrator in Permitted Investments selected by the applicable Servicer. The
applicable Servicer shall be entitled to the income from (except with respect to
investment direction of funds and any income and gain realized on any investment
in the Distribution Account during the Securities Administrator Float Period,
which shall be for the sole benefit of the Securities Administrator) such
related investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such
investment shall be delivered directly to the applicable Servicer, or with
respect to investments during the Securities Administrator Float Period, the
Securities Administrator or its agent (with a copy to the Securities
Administrator or its agent if related to investment of funds in the Distribution
Account not during the Securities Administrator Float Period), together with any
document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the
applicable Servicer, or with respect to investments during the Securities
Administrator Float Period, the Securities Administrator or its agent. In the
event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a
Permitted Investment payable on demand, the applicable Servicer, or with respect
to investments during the Securities Administrator Float Period, the Securities
Administrator may:
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given
thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on
the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise
mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of
(1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the
amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder that
such Permitted Investment would not constitute a
Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter
on deposit in an Investment Account.
(b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the related Collection Account or Escrow Account held by or on
behalf of the related Servicer, shall be for the benefit of such Servicer and
shall be subject to its withdrawal in the manner set forth in Section 3.11. Such
Servicer shall deposit in its Collection Account or Escrow Account, as
applicable, the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such
Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon
realization of such loss.
(c) All income and gain realized from the investment of the portion
of funds deposited in the Distribution Account by a Servicer and held by the
Securities Administrator, shall be for the benefit of such Servicer (except for
any income or gain realized from the investment of funds on deposit in the
Distribution Account during the Securities Administrator Float Period, which
shall be for the benefit of the Securities Administrator) and shall be subject
to the Securities Administrator's withdrawal in the manner set forth in Section
3.07(e). Each Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account (except with
respect to losses incurred during the Securities Administrator Float Period) the
amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted
Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of such
loss.
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or
if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted
Investment, the Securities Administrator shall take such action as may be
appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution
and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
(e) The Securities Administrator shall not be liable for the amount
of any loss incurred with respect of any investment or lack of investment of
funds held in any Investment Account or the Distribution Account (except that if
any losses are incurred from the investment of funds deposited in the
Distribution Account during the Securities Administrator Float Period, the
Securities Administrator shall be responsible for reimbursing the Trust for such
loss immediately upon realization of such loss) if made in accordance with this
Section 3.12.
(f) The Securities Administrator or its Affiliates shall be
permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the
Securities Administrator's economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment
adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian
with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to
effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting
transactions in certain Permitted Investments. Such compensation shall not be
considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 3.13 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors and
Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a) Each Servicer shall cause to be maintained
for each Mortgage Loan serviced by such Servicer fire insurance with extended
coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least equal
to the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan,
(ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the
improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis and
(iii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such
Mortgaged Property, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is
necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause contained in the
related hazard insurance policy. Each Servicer shall also cause to be maintained
fire insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property serviced by such
Servicer 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 outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it
became an REO Property. Each Servicer will comply in the performance of this
Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any
such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by any Servicer under any such
policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the
property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that such Servicer would follow in
servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of
the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the related
Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11. Any cost
incurred by any Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the
purpose of calculating distributions to the Securities Administrator, 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 is to be required of any Mortgagor
other than pursuant to the applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time
be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged
Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal
Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood
hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the applicable Servicer
will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such
flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount
necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that
are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis and (ii) the maximum
amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the
national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged
Property is located is participating in such program).
In the event that any Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket
policy with an insurer either (i) acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac or
(ii) having a General Policy Rating of B:III or better from Best's (or such
other rating that is comparable to such rating) insuring against hazard losses
on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied
its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 3.13, it
being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in
which case such Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been
maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying
with the first two sentences of this Section 3.13, and there shall have been one
or more losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the
related Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable
under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with
its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, each
Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Trustee
claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the
terms of such policy.
(b) Each Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this
Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for
failure in the performance of such Servicer's obligations under this Agreement,
which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the
requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac if it were the purchaser of the
Mortgage Loans, unless such Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements
from Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac. Each Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity
bond in the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or
Freddie Mac, unless such Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements
from Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac. Each Servicer shall provide the Trustee upon
request with copies of any such insurance policies and fidelity bond. Each
Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of
the applicable Servicer has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage
and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage
afforded thereunder extends to such Servicer. Any such errors and omissions
policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty
days' prior written notice to the Trustee. Each Servicer shall also cause each
Subservicer to maintain a policy of insurance covering errors and omissions and
a fidelity bond which would meet such requirements.
Section 3.14 Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements. Each Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance
or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (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 the
"Due-on-Sale" clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that no
Servicer shall be required to take such action if, in its sole business
judgment, such Servicer believes it is not in the best interests of the Trust
Fund and shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so.
If a Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce
such "Due-on-Sale" clause or if any of the other conditions set forth in the
proviso to the preceding sentence apply, such Servicer will enter into an
assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such
property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such
person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by
applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Each Servicer is
also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such
person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and
such person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the
Mortgage Note; provided, that no such substitution shall be effective unless
such person satisfies the underwriting criteria of such Servicer and such
substitution is in the best interest of the Certificateholders as determined by
such Servicer. In connection with any assumption, modification or substitution,
such Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow such practices
and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing
activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. No
Servicer shall take or enter into any assumption and modification agreement,
however, unless (to the extent practicable in the circumstances) it shall have
received confirmation, in writing, of the continued effectiveness of any
applicable hazard insurance policy, or a new policy meeting the requirements of
this Section is obtained. Any fee collected by a Servicer in respect of an
assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by such
Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such
assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not limited to
the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the Scheduled Payment) may be
amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms thereof.
Each Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution, modification
or assumption agreement has been completed and shall forward to the applicable
Custodian the executed original of such substitution 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of
this Agreement, a Servicer 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 by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any
assumption which such Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any
reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.14, 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 3.15 Realization upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. Each
Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing
Practices, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include
an acquisition of REO Property) the ownership of properties securing such of the
Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments
pursuant to Section 3.07, and which are not released from this Agreement
pursuant to any other provision hereof. Each Servicer shall use reasonable
efforts to realize upon such defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will
maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Securities Administrator,
taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings;
provided, however, with respect to any Second Lien Mortgage Loan for which the
related first lien mortgage loan is not included in the Trust Fund, if, after
such Mortgage Loan becomes 180 days or more delinquent, the applicable Servicer
determines that a significant net recovery is not possible through foreclosure,
such Mortgage Loan may be charged off and the Mortgage Loan will be treated as a
Liquidated Mortgage Loan giving rise to a Realized Loss. The foregoing is
subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall
have suffered damage from an uninsured cause, a Servicer shall not be required
to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall
determine in its sole discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the net
proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Securities
Administrator, after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that
such expenses will be recoverable by such Servicer through Insurance Proceeds,
Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged
Property, as contemplated in Section 3.11. Each Servicer shall be responsible
for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings;
provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the
related property, as contemplated in Section 3.11.
The proceeds of any liquidation or REO Disposition, as well as any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds or any income from an REO Property, will be
applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the applicable
Servicer or any Subservicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances,
pursuant to Section 3.11 or 3.17; second, to reimburse the applicable Servicer
for any related unreimbursed P&I Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11; third, to
accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan or REO Imputed Interest, at the
Mortgage Rate, to the date of the liquidation or REO Disposition, or to the Due
Date prior to the Remittance Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if
not in connection with a liquidation or REO Disposition; and fourth, as a
recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so
allocated to interest is less than a full recovery thereof, that amount will be
allocated as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, as interest
at the Mortgage Rate (net of the Servicing Fee Rate). The portion of the
recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the
applicable Servicer or any Subservicer pursuant to Section 3.11 or 3.17. The
portions of the recovery so allocated to interest at the Mortgage Rate (net of
the Servicing Fee Rate) and to principal of the Mortgage Loan shall be applied
as follows: first, to reimburse the applicable Servicer or any Subservicer for
any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.11 or
3.17, and second, to the Securities Administrator in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.02, subject to the last paragraph of Section 3.17(f)
with respect to certain excess recoveries from an REO Disposition.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in
connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in
the event a Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of
the presence of, hazardous or toxic substances or wastes on the related
Mortgaged Property, or if the Trustee otherwise requests, such Servicer shall
cause an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property to be
conducted by a qualified inspector. Upon completion of the inspection, such
Servicer shall promptly provide the Trustee and the Depositor with a written
report of the environmental inspection.
After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the applicable
Servicer shall determine consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices how such
Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property. In the event (a)
the environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is
contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (b) the applicable
Servicer determines, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to proceed
with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, such Servicer
shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental
clean-up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the
Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse such Servicer, such
Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the related
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11. In the event the applicable
Servicer determines not to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in
lieu of foreclosure, such Servicer shall be reimbursed from general collections
for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property
from the related Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11. The Trustee shall
not be responsible for any determination made by the applicable Servicer
pursuant to this paragraph or otherwise.
In the event Xxxxx Fargo or HomEq elects to charge-off a Second Lien
Mortgage Loan 180 days or more delinquent pursuant to this Section 3.15, no
Second Lien Mortgage Loan shall be characterized as a Liquidated Mortgage Loan,
unless the Depositor consents in writing to such characterization after Xxxxx
Fargo or HomEq, as applicable, has provided the Depositor with a combined equity
analysis of such Second Lien Mortgage Loan and the related first lien mortgage
loan; provided, that if the Depositor has failed to notify Xxxxx Fargo or HomEq,
as applicable, within 3 Business Days of receipt of such combined equity
analysis, then the Depositor shall be deemed to have consented to such
characterization. In the event Xxxxx Fargo or HomEq elects to charge off a
Second Lien Mortgage Loan 180 days or more delinquent pursuant to this Section
3.15, Xxxxx Fargo or HomEq, as applicable, shall notify the Securities
Administrator of such election, which notice may be provided in a Servicer
Remittance Report delivered pursuant to Section 4.03(d). JPMorgan may elect to
charge-off a Second Lien Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.15 without
such written consent, so long as such Second Lien Mortgage Loan is 180 days or
more delinquent. JPMorgan shall notify the Securities Administrator of such
election, which notice may be provided in a Servicer Remittance Report delivered
pursuant to Section 4.03(d).
Section 3.16 Release of Mortgage Files. (a) Upon the payment in full
of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by a Servicer of a notification that
payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, such
Servicer will, on or before the last day of the month in which such payment in
full occurs, notify the applicable Custodian by a certification (which
certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received
or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be
deposited in the related Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been
or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it
of the Custodial File by submitting a Request for Release (in writing or an
electronic format acceptable to the Custodian) to the Custodian. Upon receipt of
such certification and Request for Release, such Custodian shall promptly
release the related Custodial File to such Servicer within two (2) Business
Days. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or
deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related Collection Account or to
the Trustee.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
any Insurance Policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the applicable Custodian
shall, upon request of a Servicer and delivery to such Custodian of a Request
for Release in written or electronic form, release the related Custodial File to
such Servicer, and the Trustee shall, at the direction of such Servicer, execute
such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings
and such Servicer shall retain the Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of the
Trustee. Such Request for Release shall obligate the applicable Servicer to
return each and every document previously requested from the Custodial File to
such Custodian when the need therefor by such Servicer no longer exists, unless
the Mortgage Loan has been charged off or liquidated and the Liquidation
Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the related
Collection 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
such Servicer has delivered to the applicable Custodian 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 charged off or liquidated and that all amounts received
or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be
deposited into the related Collection Account have been so deposited, or that
such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release
shall be released by the applicable Custodian to the applicable Servicer or its
designee upon request therefor. Upon receipt of a Request for Release under this
Section 3.16, the applicable Custodian shall deliver the related Custodial File
to the requesting Servicer; provided, however, that in the event a Servicer has
not previously received copies of the relevant Mortgage Loan Documents necessary
to service the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices, the applicable Responsible Party shall reimburse the applicable
Custodian for any overnight courier charges incurred for the requested Custodial
Files.
Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall
execute and deliver to the applicable Servicer copies of any court pleadings,
requests for trustee's sale or other documents reasonably necessary to the
foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal
action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or
rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law
or in equity, or shall exercise and deliver to such Servicer a power of attorney
sufficient to authorize such Servicer to execute such documents on its behalf.
Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents
be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or
pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the
Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except
for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or
trustee's sale.
Section 3.17 Title, Conservation and Disposition of REO Property.
(a) This Section shall apply only to REO Properties acquired for the account of
the Trustee and shall not apply to any REO Property relating to a Mortgage Loan
which was purchased or repurchased from the Trustee pursuant to any provision
hereof. In the event that title to any such REO Property is acquired, the
applicable Servicer shall cause the deed or certificate of sale to be issued in
the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. Upon written
request by the applicable Servicer, the Trustee shall provide such Servicer with
a power of attorney prepared by such Servicer with respect to such REO Property
in the form of Exhibit Q.
(b) Each Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each
related REO Property for the Trustee solely for the purpose of its prompt
disposition and sale. Each Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected
by such Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property
in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other
foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar
property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. Each Servicer
shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period
not greater than one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and
conditions as such Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trustee. The
Trustee shall have no obligations with respect to any REO Dispositions.
(c) Each Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart
from its own funds and general assets and shall deposit such funds in the
related Collection Account.
(d) Each Servicer shall deposit net of reimbursement to such
Servicer for any related outstanding Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing
Fees provided in Section 3.11, or cause to be deposited, in no event more than
two (2) Business Days following such Servicer's receipt thereof, in the related
Collection Account all revenues received with respect to the related REO
Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation,
management and maintenance of the REO Property.
(e) Each Servicer, upon an REO Disposition, shall be entitled to
reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances as well as any
unpaid Servicing Fees from proceeds received in connection with the REO
Disposition, as further provided in Section 3.11.
(f) Any net proceeds from an REO Disposition which are in excess of
the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, plus all unpaid REO
Imputed Interest thereon through the date of the REO Disposition, shall be
retained by the applicable Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
(g) Each Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts, to sell, or
cause its Subservicer to sell, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices,
any REO Property serviced by such Servicer or Subservicer as soon as possible,
but in no event later than the conclusion of the third calendar year beginning
after the year of its acquisition by Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 unless (i) such
Servicer applies for and receives an extension of such period from the Internal
Revenue Service pursuant to the REMIC Provisions and Code Section 856(e)(3), in
which event such REO Property shall be sold within the applicable extension
period, or (ii) such Servicer obtains for the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Depositor, the Trustee,
the Securities Administrator and such Servicer, to the effect that the holding
by the Pooling Tier REMIC 1 of such REO Property subsequent to such period will
not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in
Section 860F of the Code or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC
under the REMIC Provisions or comparable provisions of relevant state laws at
any time. Each Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO
Property serviced by such Servicer for the Trustee solely for the purpose of its
prompt disposition and sale 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) or result in the receipt by the Pooling Tier REMIC 1 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" which is subject to taxation
under Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO
Property, the applicable Servicer shall either itself or through an agent
selected by such Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same
manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO
Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the
interests of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or
any part thereof, as such Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of
such REO Property; provided, however, that any rent received or accrued with
respect to such REO Property qualifies as "rents from real property" as defined
in Section 856(d) of the Code.
Section 3.18 Notification of Adjustments. With respect to each
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the applicable Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage
Rate on the related Adjustment Date and shall adjust the Scheduled Payment on
the related mortgage payment adjustment date, if applicable, in compliance with
the requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note.
In the event that an Index becomes unavailable or otherwise unpublished, the
related Servicer shall select a comparable alternative index over which it has
no direct control and which is readily verifiable. Each Servicer shall execute
and deliver any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the
terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Rate and
Scheduled Payment adjustments. Each Servicer shall promptly, upon written
request therefor, deliver to the Securities Administrator such notifications and
any additional applicable data regarding such adjustments and the methods used
to calculate and implement such adjustments. Upon the discovery by a Servicer or
the receipt of notice from the Securities Administrator that a Servicer has
failed to adjust a Mortgage Rate or Scheduled Payment in accordance with the
terms of the related Mortgage Note, such Servicer shall deposit in the related
Collection Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss caused as
such interest loss occurs.
Section 3.19 Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Mortgage Loans. The applicable Servicer shall provide, or cause
the Subservicer to provide, to the Depositor, the Trustee, the OTS or the FDIC
and the examiners and supervisory agents thereof, access to the documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans in its possession required by applicable
regulations of the OTS. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only
upon five (5) Business Days' prior written request and during normal business
hours at the offices of the applicable Servicer or any Subservicer. Nothing in
this Section shall derogate from the obligation of any such party to observe any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors
and the failure of any such party to provide access as provided in this Section
as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.
Section 3.20 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the
Servicers to Be Held for the Trustee. Each Servicer shall account fully to the
Securities Administrator for any funds received by such Servicer or which
otherwise are collected by such Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation
Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan serviced by such
Servicer. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the
control of, a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the
collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds,
including, but not limited to, any funds on deposit in its Collection Account,
shall be held by such Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and
remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable
provisions of this Agreement. Each Servicer also agrees that it shall not
create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in
any Collection Account, the Distribution Account or any Escrow Account, or any
funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Securities
Administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien,
security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or
assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any
Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan,
except, however, that such Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and
deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to such
Servicer under this Agreement.
Section 3.21 Servicing Compensation. (a) As compensation for its
activities hereunder, each Servicer shall, with respect to each Mortgage Loan
serviced by it, be entitled to retain from deposits to its Collection Account
and from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and REO
Proceeds related to such Mortgage Loan, the Servicing Fee with respect to each
Mortgage Loan (less any portion of such amounts retained by any Subservicer). In
addition, each Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out
of related late collections to the extent permitted in Section 3.11. The right
to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except
in connection with the transfer of all of a Servicer's responsibilities and
obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that each Servicer may pay
from the Servicing Fee any amounts due to a Subservicer pursuant to a
Subservicing Agreement entered into under Section 3.02.
(b) Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption or
modification fees, late payment charges, NSF fees, reconveyance fees and other
similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by a
Servicer only to the extent such fees or charges are received by such Servicer.
Each Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw
from the related Collection Account, and pursuant to Section 3.07(e), to direct
the Securities Administrator to withdraw from the Distribution Account and remit
to the applicable Servicer (except for monies invested during the Securities
Administrator Float Period), as additional servicing compensation, interest or
other income earned on the related portions of deposits therein. Each Servicer
shall also be entitled, as additional servicing compensation, to interest or
other income earned on deposits in the related Escrow Account (to the extent
permitted by law and the related Mortgage Loan documents) in accordance with
Section 3.12. Each Servicer shall also be entitled to retain net Prepayment
Interest Excesses (to the extent not required to offset Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls), but only to the extent such amounts are received by such Servicer.
(c) Each Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by
it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of
premiums for any blanket policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to
Section 3.13, servicing compensation of the Subservicer to the extent not
retained by it and the fees and expenses of independent accountants and any
agents appointed by such Servicer), and shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor from the Trust Fund except as specifically provided in Section 3.11.
Section 3.22 Annual Statement as to Compliance. Each Servicer and
the Securities Administrator shall deliver and shall cause each Subservicer
engaged by such Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, to
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Securities Administrator (and the
Securities Administrator shall deliver or otherwise make available to the
Depositor, the Rating Agencies and the Trustee) on or before March 5th of each
calendar year, commencing in 2007, an Officer's Certificate stating, as to each
signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Securities
Administrator, such Servicer or Subservicer, as applicable, during the preceding
calendar year and of its performance under this Agreement or the applicable
Subservicing Agreement, as the case may be, has been made under such officers'
supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such
review, the Securities Administrator, such Servicer or Subservicer, as
applicable, has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement or the
applicable Subservicing Agreement, as the case may be, in all material respects,
throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any
such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such default known to
such officers and the nature and status thereof. Promptly after receipt of each
such Officer's Certificate, the Depositor shall review each such Officer's
Certificate and, if applicable, consult with the Securities Administrator, the
applicable Servicer or Subservicer as to the nature of any defaults by the
Securities Administrator, such Servicer or any related Subservicer in the
fulfillment of any of the Securities Administrator's, such Servicer's or any
related Subservicer's obligations. The obligations of the Securities
Administrator, each Servicer and each Subservicer under this Section apply to
the Securities Administrator, each Servicer and each Subservicer that serviced a
Mortgage Loan during the applicable period, whether or not the Securities
Administrator, such Servicer or such Subservicer is acting as the Securities
Administrator, a Servicer or a Subservicer at the time such Officer's
Certificate is required to be delivered. None of the Servicers, the Securities
Administrator or any Servicing Function Participant shall be required to cause
the delivery of any Officer's Certificate required by this Section until March
10th in any given year so long as it has received written confirmation from the
Depositor that a Form 10-K is not required to be filed in respect of the Trust
for the preceding calendar year.
Section 3.23 Annual Reports on Assessment of Compliance with
Servicing Criteria; Annual Independent Public Accountants' Attestation Report.
(a) Not later than March 5th of each calendar year commencing in
2007, each Servicer shall deliver, and shall cause each Subservicer engaged by
such Servicer to deliver, and the Securities Administrator and each Custodian
shall deliver or otherwise make available, and each Servicer, the Securities
Administrator and the Custodian shall cause each Subcontractor utilized by such
Servicer (or by any such Subservicer), the Securities Administrator or the
Custodian, as applicable, and determined by such Servicer, the Securities
Administrator or the Custodian, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.02(e) to be
"participating in a servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB (in each case, a "Servicing Function Participant"), to deliver,
each at its own expense, to the Securities Administrator (and the Securities
Administrator shall make available to the Depositor), a report on an assessment
of compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it that contains (A) a
statement by such party of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the
Servicing Criteria applicable to it, (B) a statement that such party used the
Servicing Criteria to assess compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria,
(C) such party's assessment of compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria
as of and for the period ending the end of the fiscal year covered by the Form
10-K required to be filed pursuant to Section 8.12, including, if there has been
any material instance of noncompliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria, a
discussion of each such failure and the nature and status thereof, and (D) a
statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation
report on such Person's assessment of compliance with the applicable Servicing
Criteria as of and for such period. Each such assessment of compliance report
shall be addressed to the Depositor and signed by an authorized officer of the
applicable company, and shall address each of the applicable Servicing Criteria
set forth on Exhibit R hereto, or as set forth in the notification furnished to
the Depositor and the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 3.23(c). The
Servicers, the Securities Administrator and the Custodians hereby acknowledge
and agree that their respective assessments of compliance will cover the items
identified on Exhibit R hereto as being covered by such party. The parties to
this Agreement acknowledge that where a particular Servicing Criteria has
multiple components, each party's assessment of compliance (and related
attestation of compliance) will relate only to those components that are
applicable to such party. Promptly after receipt of each such report on
assessment of compliance, the Depositor shall review each such report and, if
applicable, consult with the applicable Servicer, the Securities Administrator
or the applicable Custodian, as to the nature of any material instance of
noncompliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it (and each Subservicer
or Servicing Function Participant engaged or utilized by the applicable
Servicer, such Subservicer, the Securities Administrator or the Custodian, as
applicable), as the case may be. None of the Servicers, the Securities
Administrator, the Custodian or any Subservicer or any Servicing Function
Participant shall be required to cause the delivery of any such assessments
until March 10th in any given year, and the Custodians shall not be required to
deliver any such assessment, so long as it has received written confirmation
from the Depositor that a Form 10-K is not required to be filed in respect of
the Trust for the preceding calendar year.
(b) Not later than March 5th of each calendar year commencing in
2007, each Servicer, the Securities Administrator and each Custodian shall
cause, and such Servicer shall cause each Subservicer engaged by such Servicer
and such Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Custodian shall cause
each Servicing Function Participant utilized by the Securities Administrator,
the Custodian or such Servicer, as applicable (or by any Subservicer engaged by
such Servicer) to cause, each at its own expense, a registered public accounting
firm (which may also render other services to such party) and that is a member
of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a report to
the Securities Administrator (and the Securities Administrator shall make
available to the Depositor with a copy to the Rating Agencies), to the effect
that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding certain matters from the
management of such Person, which includes an assertion that such Person has
complied with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it pursuant to Section
3.23(a) and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in
accordance with standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the
PCAOB, that attests to and reports on such Person's assessment of compliance
with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it. In the event that an overall
opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall state
in such report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Each such related
accountant's attestation report shall be made in accordance with Rules
1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act. Such report must be available for general use and not contain
restricted use language. Promptly after receipt of each such accountants'
attestation report, the Depositor shall review the report and, if applicable,
consult with the applicable Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the
applicable Custodian as to the nature of any defaults by the applicable
Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the applicable Custodian (and each
Subservicer or Servicing Function Participant engaged or utilized by any
Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Custodian, as applicable or by any
Subservicer engaged by the Servicer), as the case may be, in the fulfillment of
any of the Servicer's, the Securities Administrator's, the Custodian's, any of
the Custodian's or the applicable Subservicer's or Servicing Function
Participant's obligations hereunder or under any applicable sub-servicing
agreement. None of the Servicers, the Securities Administrator, the Custodians
or any Servicing Function Participant shall be required to cause the delivery of
any such attestation required by this paragraph until March 10th in any given
year, and the Custodians shall not be required to deliver any such assessment,
so long as it has received written confirmation from the Depositor that a Form
10-K is not required to be filed in respect of the Trust for the preceding
calendar year.
(c) Promptly upon written request from the Depositor, each Servicer
shall notify the Securities Administrator and the Depositor as to the name of
each Subservicer engaged by such Servicer and each Servicing Function
Participant utilized by such Servicer and by each Subservicer engaged by such
Servicer, but only to the extent there has been a change in the information in
such notification from notices previously delivered and the Securities
Administrator shall notify the Depositor as to the name of each Servicing
Function Participant utilized by it, and each such notice will specify what
specific Servicing Criteria will be addressed in the report on assessment of
compliance prepared by such Subservicer and Servicing Function Participant in
each case, to the extent of any change from the prior year's notice, if any.
When a Servicer or the Securities Administrator submits its assessment pursuant
to Section 3.23(a), such Servicer and the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, will also at such time include the assessment (and related
attestation pursuant to Section 3.23(b)) of each Servicing Function Participant
utilized by it and by each Subservicer engaged by it.
Section 3.24 Trustee to Act as Servicer. (a) Subject to Section
7.02, in the event that any Servicer shall for any reason no longer be a
Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee or
its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such
Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i)
liable for losses of such predecessor servicer pursuant to Section 3.10 or any
acts or omissions of such predecessor servicer hereunder), (ii) obligated to
effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder, including
but not limited to repurchases or substitutions pursuant to Section 2.03, (iii)
responsible for expenses of such predecessor servicer pursuant to Section 2.03
or (iv) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of such Servicer
hereunder. Any such assumption shall be subject to Section 7.02.
(b) Every Subservicing Agreement entered into by a Servicer shall
contain a provision giving the successor servicer the option to terminate such
agreement in the event a successor servicer is appointed.
(c) If any Servicer shall for any reason no longer be a Servicer
(including by reason of any Event of Default), the Trustee (or any other
successor servicer) may, at its option, succeed to any rights and obligations of
such Servicer under any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms
thereof; provided that the Trustee (or any other successor servicer) shall not
incur any liability or have any obligations in its capacity as successor
servicer under a Subservicing Agreement arising prior to the date of such
succession unless it expressly elects to succeed to the rights and obligations
of such Servicer thereunder; and such Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of
any liability or obligations under the Subservicing Agreement arising prior to

the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of Scheduled Payments (with each interest
portion thereof net of the related Servicing Fee), due during the Due Period
immediately preceding such Remittance Date in respect of the Mortgage Loans
serviced by such Servicer, which Scheduled Payments were not received as of the
close of business on the related Determination Date (provided, however, that
with respect to any Balloon Loan that is delinquent on its maturity date, the

related balloon payment but will be required to continue to make P&I Advances in

amount equal to the assumed scheduled interest that would otherwise be due based
on the original amortization schedule for such Balloon Loan (with interest at
the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate)), plus (ii) with respect to each REO Property
serviced by such Servicer, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to
the related Prepayment Period and as to which such REO Property an REO

Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution
(in which case, such Servicer will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the
records of the related Collection Account that Amounts Held for Future
Distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.01, used by such Servicer
in discharge of any such P&I Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of

Held for Future Distribution and so used shall be appropriately reflected in
such Servicer's records and replaced by such Servicer by deposit in the related
Collection Account on or before any future Remittance Date to the extent
required.
(c) The obligation of each Servicer to make such P&I Advances is

provided in this Section.

determination by any Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance or Servicing
Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by an

Administrator.
(e) Except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable Servicer

remittance allocable to principal (including a separate breakdown of any
Principal Prepayment, including the date of such prepayment, and any
Prepayment Charges, received during the related Prepayment Period along
with a detailed report of interest on principal prepayment amounts
remitted in accordance with Section 3.25);
(ii) with respect to each Scheduled Payment, the amount of such
remittance allocable to interest;
(iii) the amount of servicing compensation received by such Servicer
during the prior distribution period; and
(iv) the individual and aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans.
(v) the aggregate expenses reimbursed to such Servicer during the
prior distribution period pursuant to Section 3.11; and
(vi) the number and aggregate outstanding principal balances of
Mortgage Loans (a) delinquent 31 to 60 days, 61 to 90 days and 91 or more
days; (b) as to which foreclosure or bankruptcy proceedings of the related
mortgagor have commenced; and (c) as to which REO Property has been
acquired.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.03(e) to the contrary
(other than any supplemental reports of Principal Prepayments by JPMorgan), the
Servicers shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirement to timely deliver
the Servicer Remittance Report if such report is received by the Securities
Administrator and the Depositor on or prior to the 18th calendar day of such
month in which the related Determination Date occurs; provided, however, that if
such 18th calendar day is a Sunday or a Monday which is not a Business Day, the
Servicers shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirement to timely deliver
the Servicer Remittance Report if the Securities Administrator and the Depositor
receive such report (i) on the next Business Day succeeding such 18th calendar
day, or (ii) on the Business Day immediately preceding such 18th calendar day,
if such succeeding Business Day is later than the 20th calendar day of such
calendar month.
(g) For all purposes of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage
Loan, delinquencies shall be determined by the Securities Administrator from
information provided by the Servicers and reported by the Securities
Administrator based on the "OTS" methodology for determining delinquencies on
mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans. By way of example, a Mortgage Loan
would be delinquent with respect to a Scheduled Payment due on a Due Date if
such Scheduled Payment is not made by the close of business on the Mortgage
Loan's next succeeding Due Date, and a Mortgage Loan would be more than 30-days
Delinquent with respect to such Scheduled Payment if such Scheduled Payment were
not made by the close of business on the Mortgage Loan's second succeeding Due
Date. Each Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor that such
Servicer is not subject to any delinquency recognition policy established by the
primary safety and soundness regulator, if any, of such Servicer, that is more
restrictive than the foregoing delinquency recognition policy.
Section 4.04 Certain Matters Relating to the Determination of LIBOR.
LIBOR shall be calculated by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the
definition of LIBOR. Until all of the Offered Certificates are paid in full, the
Securities Administrator shall at all times retain at least four Reference Banks
for the purpose of determining LIBOR with respect to each LIBOR Determination
Date. The Securities Administrator initially shall designate the Reference Banks
(after consultation with the Depositor). Each "Reference Bank" shall be a
leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international
Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by, or be under common
control with, the Securities Administrator and shall have an established place
of business in London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable
to act as such or if the Securities Administrator should terminate its
appointment as Reference Bank, the Securities Administrator shall promptly
appoint or cause to be appointed another Reference Bank (after consultation with
the Depositor). The Securities Administrator shall have no liability or
responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank for
purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain at least four
Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of Offered Certificates for
each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Securities Administrator
on each LIBOR Determination Date so long as the Offered Certificates are
Outstanding on the basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in
footnotes corresponding to the Offered Certificates in the table relating to the
Certificates in the Preliminary Statement. The Securities Administrator shall
not have any liability or responsibility to any Person for its inability,
following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain quotations from the
Reference Banks or to determine the arithmetic mean referred to in the
definition of LIBOR, all as provided for in this Section 4.04 and the definition
of LIBOR. The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the Offered
Certificates by the Securities Administrator shall (in the absence of manifest
error) be final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and
the Securities Administrator.
Section 4.05 Allocation of Applied Realized Loss Amounts. Any
Applied Realized Loss Amounts shall be allocated by the Securities Administrator
to the most junior Class of Subordinated Certificates then Outstanding in
reduction of the Class Certificate Balance thereof.
Section 4.06 Swap Account. On the Closing Date, the Securities
Administrator shall establish and maintain in its name, a separate non-interest
bearing trust account for the benefit of the holders of the Certificates (the
"Swap Account") as a part of the Trust Fund. The Swap Account shall be an
Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart
from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including, without
limitation, other moneys of the Securities Administrator held pursuant to this
Agreement.
On the Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date,
Swap Termination Payments, Net Swap Payments owed to the Swap Provider and Net
Swap Receipts for that Distribution Date will be deposited into the Swap
Account. Funds in the Swap Account will be distributed in the following order of
priority:
(i) to the Swap Provider, all Net Swap Payments, if any, owed to the
Swap Provider for that Distribution Date;
(ii) to the Swap Provider, any Swap Termination Payment, including,
without limitation, any Senior Defaulted Swap Termination Payment but not
including any other Defaulted Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap
Provider for that Distribution Date;
(iii) to the Class A Certificates, to pay Accrued Certificate
Interest Distribution Amounts and, if applicable, any Unpaid Interest
Amounts as described in Section 4.02(a)(i), to the extent unpaid from
Available Funds;
(iv) sequentially, to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class
M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3
Certificates, in that order, to pay Accrued Certificate Interest
Distribution Amounts and, if applicable, any Unpaid Interest Amounts as
described in Section 4.02(a)(i) and Section 4.02(a)(iii), to the extent
unpaid from Available Funds;
(v) to the Offered Certificates, to pay principal as described and,
in the same manner and order of priority as set forth, in Section
4.02(a)(ii)(A) or Section 4.02(a)(ii)(B), as applicable, but only to the
extent necessary to restore the Subordinated Amount to the Specified
Subordinated Amount for prior or current Realized Losses not previously
reimbursed, after giving effect to payments and distributions from
Available Funds;
(vi) to the Class A Certificates, to pay Basis Risk CarryForward
Amounts and, without duplication, Upper Tier CarryForward Amounts, pro
rata, based on their Class Certificate Balances for such Distribution
Date, up to the Swap Payment Allocation for each Class of Class A
Certificates and to the extent unpaid from Available Funds (including
Basis Risk Payments on deposit in the Excess Reserve Fund Account);
(vii) sequentially, to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class
M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3
Certificates, to pay Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts, and, without
duplication, Upper Tier CarryForward Amounts, up to the Swap Payment
Allocation for each Class of Class M and Class B Certificates and to the
extent unpaid from Available Funds (including Basis Risk Payments on
deposit in the Excess Reserve Fund Account);
(viii) to the Offered Certificates, any remaining unpaid Basis Risk
CarryForward Amount, and, without duplication, Upper Tier CarryForward
Amounts, pro rata, based on their respective remaining unpaid Basis Risk
CarryForward Amount after the allocation of payments as set forth in
clauses (vi) and (vii) above;
(ix) sequentially, to the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class M-3, Class
M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3
Certificates, to pay any Unpaid Realized Loss Amount, to the extent unpaid
from Available Funds;
(x) to the Swap Provider, any remaining Defaulted Swap Termination
Payment owed to the Swap Provider for that Distribution Date; and
(xi) to the holders of the Class X Certificates, any remaining
amounts.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Trust receives
a Swap Termination Payment, the Securities Administrator shall use the Swap
Termination Payment to enter into a replacement interest rate swap agreement as
directed by the Depositor with a successor Swap Provider (or its guarantor)
meeting the ratings requirements set forth in the Interest Rate Swap Agreement
being terminated on the same remaining terms as those in the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement being terminated, so long as the Swap Termination Payment is
sufficient to obtain such replacement interest rate swap agreement. In the event
that the Trust receives a Swap Termination Payment and a successor Swap Provider
cannot be obtained, then the Securities Administrator shall deposit the Swap
Termination Payment into the reserve account that is a sub-account of the Swap
Account. On each subsequent Distribution Date (so long as funds are available in
the reserve account), the Securities Administrator shall withdraw from the
reserve account and deposit into the Swap Account an amount equal to the amount
of any Net Swap Receipt due the Trust (calculated in accordance with the terms
of the original Interest Rate Swap Agreement) and treat such amount as a Net
Swap Receipt for purposes of determining the distributions from the Swap
Account. In no event shall the Securities Administrator be responsible for the
selection of any successor or replacement swap provider or any shortfalls caused
by a failure to enter into a replacement interest rate swap agreement.
Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Swap
Account shall be distributed pursuant to the priorities set forth in this
Section 4.06.
In the event that, upon the Trust entering into a replacement
interest rate swap following the occurrence of an Additional Termination Event
of the type described in Part 1(h)(ii) of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the
Trust is entitled to receive a payment from a replacement swap provider, the
Securities Administrator shall direct the replacement swap provider to make such
payment to the Swap Account. Any Senior Defaulted Swap Termination Payment shall
be made from the Swap Account to the Swap Provider immediately upon receipt of
such payment, regardless of whether the date of receipt thereof is a
Distribution Date. To the extent that any Replacement Swap Provider Payment is
made to an account other than the Swap Account, then, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Senior Defaulted Swap
Termination Payment shall be paid to the Swap Provider immediately upon receipt
of such Replacement Swap Provider Payment, regardless of whether the date of
receipt thereof is a Distribution Date and without regard to anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties
agree that the Swap Provider shall have first priority to any Replacement Swap
Provider Payment over the payment by the Trust to Certificateholders, the
Securities Administrator, any Servicer, any Custodian, any Responsible Party,
the Trustee or any other Person.
The Securities Administrator shall account for the Swap Account as
an asset of a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code
and not as an asset of any Trust REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement. The
beneficial owners of the Swap Account are the Class X Certificateholders. For
federal income tax purposes, Net Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments
(other than Senior Defaulted Swap Termination Payments) payable to the Swap
Provider shall be deemed to be paid to the Swap Account from the Upper-Tier
REMIC, first, by the Holder of the Class X Certificates (in respect of the Class
IO Interest and, if applicable, the Class X Interest) and second, other than any
Defaulted Swap Termination Payment, from the Upper-Tier REMIC by the Holders of
the applicable Class or Classes of Offered Certificates (in respect of Class IO
Shortfalls) as and to the extent provided in Section 8.13.
Any Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts and, without duplication,
Upper-Tier CarryForward Amounts distributed by the Securities Administrator to
the Offered Certificateholders shall be accounted for by the Securities
Administrator, for federal income tax purposes, as amounts paid first to the
Holders of the Class X Certificates in respect of the Class X Interest and (to
the extent remaining after payments to the Swap Provider) the Class IO Interest,
and then to the respective Class or Classes of Offered Certificates. In
addition, the Securities Administrator shall account for the rights of Holders
of each Class of Offered Certificates to receive payments of Upper-Tier
CarryForward Amounts (including, but without duplication Basis Risk CarryForward
Amounts) from the Swap Account (along with Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts
payable from the Excess Reserve Fund Account) as rights in a separate limited
recourse interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholders in
favor of Holders of each such Class.
The Swap Account shall be an "outside reserve fund" for federal
income tax purposes and not an asset of any Trust REMIC. Furthermore, the
Holders of the Class X Certificates shall be the beneficial owners of the Swap
Account for all federal income tax purposes, and shall be taxable on all income
earned thereon.
With respect to the failure of the Swap Provider to perform any of
its obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the breach by the Swap
Provider of any of its representations and warranties made pursuant to the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement, or the termination of the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall send any notices and make any
demands, on behalf of the Trust as are required under the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement. To the extent that the Swap Provider fails to make any payment
required under terms of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the Securities
Administrator shall immediately demand that Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, the guarantor of the
Swap Provider's obligations under the guarantee of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx relating to
the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, make any and all payments then required to be
made by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx pursuant to such guarantee. The Securities Administrator
shall cause any replacement swap provider to provide a copy of the related
replacement interest rate swap agreement to the Securities Administrator and the
Depositor.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 The Certificates. The Certificates shall be
substantially in the forms attached hereto as exhibits. The Certificates shall
be issuable in registered form, in the minimum denominations, integral multiples
in excess thereof (except that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a
different amount) and aggregate denominations per Class set forth in the
Preliminary Statement.
The Depositor hereby directs the Securities Administrator to
register the Class X and Class P Certificates in the name of the Depositor or
its designee. On a date as to which the Depositor notifies the Securities
Administrator, the Securities Administrator shall transfer the Class X and Class
P Certificates in the name of the NIM Trustee, or such other name or names as
the Depositor shall request, and to deliver the Class X and Class P Certificates
to the NIM Trustee or to such other Person or Persons as the Depositor shall
request.
Subject to Section 10.02 respecting the final distribution on the
Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator shall make
distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date
either (x) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of
such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if
such Holder has so notified the Securities Administrator at least five Business
Days prior to the related Record Date or (y) by check mailed by first class mail
to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the
Certificate Register.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Securities Administrator by an authorized officer. Certificates
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time
such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Securities
Administrator shall bind the Securities Administrator, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the
authentication and delivery of any such Certificates or did not hold such
offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any
benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless authenticated
by the Securities Administrator by manual signature, and such authentication
upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that
such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. On the Closing
Date, the Securities Administrator shall authenticate the Certificates to be
issued at the direction of the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof.
Section 5.02 Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and
Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Securities Administrator shall maintain, or
cause to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06, a
Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of
subsections (b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Securities Administrator shall provide for the registration of
Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Securities
Administrator shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and
aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Securities
Administrator. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the
Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate, and deliver the
Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder thereof
or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Securities
Administrator in accordance with the Securities Administrator's customary
procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. In
determining whether a transfer is being made pursuant to an effective
registration statement, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to rely
solely upon a written notice to such effect from the Depositor. Except with
respect to (i) the transfer of the Class X, Class P or Class R Certificates to
the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of the Class X
or Class P Certificates to the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee, or (iii) a
transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates from the NIM Issuer or the NIM
Trustee to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, in the event that a
transfer of a Private Certificate which is a Physical Certificate is to be made
in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to
assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder
desiring to effect such transfer shall certify to the Securities Administrator
in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the form set
forth in Exhibit H (the "Transferor Certificate") and either (i) there shall be
delivered to the Securities Administrator a letter in substantially the form of
Exhibit I (the "Rule 144A Letter") or (ii) there shall be delivered to the
Securities Administrator at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel
that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act. In
the event that a transfer of a Private Certificate which is a Book-Entry
Certificate is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act
and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such
laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer will be deemed to
have made as of the transfer date each of the certifications set forth in the
Transferor Certificate in respect of such Certificate and the transferee will be
deemed to have made as of the transfer date each of the certifications set forth
in the Rule 144A Letter in respect of such Certificate, in each case as if such
Certificate were evidenced by a Physical Certificate. The Depositor shall
provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee
designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates
and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to
satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer
of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act
pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Securities
Administrator and the Servicers shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing
the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including
providing to the Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the
Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall
reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each
Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator and each Servicer against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.
Except with respect to (i) the transfer of the Class R, Class X or
Class P Certificates to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the
transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates to the NIM Issuer or the NIM
Trustee, or (iii) a transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates from the NIM
Issuer or the NIM Trustee to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, no
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Securities
Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation from the
transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Securities Administrator (in the event such Certificate is a
Private Certificate or a Residual Certificate, such requirement is satisfied
only by the Securities Administrator's receipt of a representation letter from
the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I), to the effect that such
transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406
of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to any
Federal, state or local law ("Similar Law") materially similar to the foregoing
provisions of ERISA or the Code, nor a Person acting on behalf of any such plan
or arrangement nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect
such transfer, or (ii) in the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than
a Residual Certificate or a Class P Certificate that has been the subject of an
ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, and the purchaser is an insurance company, a
representation that the purchaser is an insurance company that is purchasing
such Certificates with funds contained in an "insurance company general account"
(as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60")) and that the purchase and holding of such
Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the
case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than a Residual Certificate
or Class P Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee
benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan or arrangement subject to
Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent
enactments), or a plan subject to Similar Law, or a trustee of any such plan or
any other person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement or using such
plan's or arrangement's assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the
Securities Administrator, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of
the Servicers, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund,
addressed to the Securities Administrator, to the effect that the purchase or
holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not constitute or result in a
non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of
the Code or any Similar Law and will not subject the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator or the Servicers to any obligation in addition to those expressly
undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Private
Certificate or a Residual Certificate, in the event the representation letter
referred to in the preceding sentence is not furnished, such representation
shall be deemed to have been made to the Securities Administrator by the
transferee's (including an initial acquirer's) acceptance of the
ERISA-Restricted Certificates. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary
herein, (a) any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate, other
than a Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate, to or on behalf of an
employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, the Code or Similar Law without the
delivery to the Securities Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory
to the Securities Administrator as described above shall be void and of no
effect and (b) any purported transfer of a Class P Certificate or Residual
Certificate to a transferee that does not make the representation in clause (i)
above shall be void and of no effect.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not
limited to, ERISA), the Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to
any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate
that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments
due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the
transfer was registered by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the
foregoing requirements.
As long as the Interest Rate Swap Agreement is in effect, each
beneficial owner of a Certificate other than an ERISA-Restricted Certificate, or
any interest therein, shall be deemed to have represented that either (i) it is
not a Plan or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the Certificate are eligible
for the exemptive relief available under at least one of the Investor-Based
Exemptions.
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly
notify the Securities Administrator of any change or impending change in
its status as a Permitted Transferee;
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be
registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the
Securities Administrator shall not register the Transfer of any Residual
Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required to be
delivered to the Securities Administrator under subparagraph (b) above,
the Securities Administrator shall have been furnished with an affidavit
(a "Transfer Affidavit") of the initial owner or the proposed transferee
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G;
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from
any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit
from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or
agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C)
not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to
cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to
any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is a
Non-Permitted Transferee;
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of
a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to
all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of
Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Securities Administrator shall
not have any liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a
Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and
this Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to
the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was
registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor
Certificate and the Rule 144A Letter. The Securities Administrator shall
be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual
Certificate that was in fact a Non-Permitted Transferee at the time it
became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became a Non-Permitted
Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after
either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Securities
Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator
to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate; and
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon
receipt of written request from the Securities Administrator, all
information necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of
the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate to any Holder who is a Non-Permitted Transferee.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in
this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the
legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers
occurring after delivery to the Securities Administrator of an Opinion of
Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or
the Securities Administrator, to the effect that the elimination of such
restrictions will not cause any Trust REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that the Certificates are Outstanding or result in the
imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person.
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on
an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Securities Administrator, is reasonably
necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest
in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a
Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to
compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is
a Non-Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.
(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions
referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at
the expense of the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at
all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at
all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the
Securities Administrator except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall
maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with
respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii)
ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the
books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the
Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees,
charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Securities
Administrator shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and
indirect participating firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the
Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of holders under
this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such
representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with
respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Securities Administrator
may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by
the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the
Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and persons
shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect
Certificate Owners.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall
be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as
agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures.
If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Securities
Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to
properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Securities
Administrator or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (y)
the Depositor notifies the Depository (and the Securities Administrator
consents) of its intent to terminate the book-entry system through the
Depository, and, upon receipt of notice of such intent from the Depository, the
Depository Participants holding beneficial interests in the Book-Entry
Certificates agree to initiate such termination, the Securities Administrator
shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence
of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered
Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners requesting
the same. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator of the related Class of
Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the
Depository for registration, the Securities Administrator shall issue the
Definitive Certificates. None of the Servicers, the Depositor or the Securities
Administrator shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and
each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. The Depositor shall provide the Securities Administrator with an
adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of
Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all
references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the
Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Securities
Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive
Certificates and the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall recognize
the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder;
provided that the Securities Administrator shall not by virtue of its assumption
of such obligations become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of
the Depository.
(f) Each Private Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer and accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (and
all appropriate attachments) or W-9 in form satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator, duly executed by the Certificateholder or his attorney duly
authorized in writing. Each Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed
of by the Securities Administrator in accordance with its customary practice. No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Private Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Private Certificates.
Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If
(a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or
the Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the
Depositor, the Servicers and the Securities Administrator such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Securities Administrator that such Certificate has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor
and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate
under this Section 5.03, the Securities Administrator may require the payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and
expenses of the Securities Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the
lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners. The Servicers, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, and any agent of a Servicer, the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator, or the Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for
the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all
other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicers, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, or any agent of a Servicer, the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator, or the Trustee shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.
Section 5.05 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses. If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in
writing from the Securities Administrator, (b) state that such
Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with
respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c)
provide a copy of the communication which such Certificateholders propose to
transmit, or if the Depositor, the Trustee or a Servicer shall request such
information in writing from the Securities Administrator, then the Securities
Administrator shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request,
provide the Depositor, the Trustee, such Servicer or the Certificateholders at
such recipients' expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such
Trust Fund held by the Securities Administrator, if any. The Depositor and every
Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the
Securities Administrator shall not be held accountable by reason of the
disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders
hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 5.06 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Securities
Administrator initially designates its Corporate Trust Office for registration
of transfer or exchange purposes located at Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue,
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479, Attention: Corporate Trust Services - MSM
2006-HE2. The Securities Administrator shall give prompt written notice to the
Certificateholders of any change in such location of any such office or agency.
ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICERS
Section 6.01 Respective Liabilities of the Depositor and the
Servicers. The Depositor and each of the Servicers shall each be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and
respectively imposed upon and undertaken by them herein.
Section 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or a Servicer.
The Depositor and each of the Servicers will each keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a corporation or federally chartered savings
bank, as the case may be, under the laws of the United States or under the laws
of one of the states thereof and will each 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 respective duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Depositor or a Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which
the Depositor or a Servicer shall be a party, or any person succeeding to the
business of the Depositor or a Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor
or such Servicer, as the case may be, 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 to such Servicer shall be qualified to service
mortgage loans on behalf of, Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac. As a condition to any
succession to any Servicer under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which a
Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a
successor to a Servicer, such Servicer shall provide to the Depositor, at least
15 calendar days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment,
(x) written notice to the Depositor of such succession or appointment and (y) in
writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all
information reasonably necessary to enable the Securities Administrator,
pursuant to Section 8.12(g), to accurately and timely report the event under
Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the
Exchange Act are then required to be filed under the Exchange Act).
Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicers
and Others. Neither the Depositor, the Servicers nor any of their respective
directors, officers, employees or agents shall be under any liability to the
Certificateholders 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 Depositor, the
Servicers or any such Person against any breach of representations or warranties
made by it herein or protect the Depositor, the Servicers or any such Person
from any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (or gross negligence in the case of the
Depositor) in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, each Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor and each Servicer may rely in good
faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by
any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor and its
Affiliates, the Sponsor, each Servicer and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Depositor, the Sponsor or each Servicer shall be indemnified by the
Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in
connection with any audit, controversy or judicial proceeding relating to a
governmental taxing authority or any legal action relating to this Agreement or
the Certificates other than any loss, liability or expense related to any
specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or
expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any
loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence (or gross negligence in the case of the Depositor) in the
performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor nor any Servicer shall
be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that
is not incidental to its respective duties hereunder and which in its opinion
may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the
Depositor and each Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action (or
direct the Trustee to undertake such actions pursuant to Section 2.03 for the
benefit of the Certificateholders) that it may deem necessary or desirable in
respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and
interests of the Trustee and the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event,
the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the
Depositor and the applicable Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
therefor out of the applicable Collection Account.
Section 6.04 Limitation on Resignation of a Servicer. Subject to
Sections 7.01 and 10.07, no Servicer shall assign this Agreement or resign from
the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the
applicable Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee or upon the determination
that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and
such incapacity cannot be cured by such Servicer without the incurrence of
unreasonable expense. Any such determination permitting the resignation of a
Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to
the Depositor and the Trustee which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and
substance acceptable to the Depositor and the Trustee. No such resignation shall
become effective until a successor shall have assumed such Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations hereunder.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.04 herein to the
contrary, in the event that a Servicer determines that it will no longer engage
in the business of servicing mortgage loans, such Servicer may assign its rights
under this Agreement, provided that, (i) the Depositor in its sole discretion
has consented, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) the Rating
Agencies' ratings of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such action
will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof (as evidenced by
a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies) and (iii) such Servicer shall
be liable for all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of servicing,
provided, further, that such Servicer shall indemnify and hold each of the Trust
Fund, the Trustee, the Custodians, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator,
the other Servicers hereunder, any sub-servicer, the successor servicer and each
Certificateholder harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other
costs, fees and expenses that such party may sustain in any way related to such
assignment except with respect to a successor servicer's failure to comply with
the terms of this Agreement. No assignment by such Servicer shall become
effective until a successor servicer acceptable to the Depositor and the Trustee
shall have assumed in writing such Servicer's responsibilities, duties,
liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of
such successor) and obligations under this Agreement. Any such assignment shall
not relieve the applicable Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations
specified herein except to the extent that such responsibilities have been
expressly assumed by the successor servicer.
Section 6.05 Additional Indemnification by the Servicers;
Third-Party Claims. (a) Each Servicer, severally and not jointly, shall
indemnify the applicable Responsible Party, the Depositor, the Sponsor, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee
and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain
in any way related to (i) any breach by such Servicer of any of its
representations and warranties referred to in Section 2.03(a), (ii) any error in
any tax or information return prepared by such Servicer or (iii) the failure of
such Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance
with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the failure to
deliver accurate and complete information on a timely basis pursuant to Section
4.03(e). The applicable Servicer immediately shall notify the Depositor, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee if such claim is made by a third-party
with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the prior
written consent of the Depositor and the Securities Administrator) the defense
of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including
reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or
decree which may be entered against it or the Depositor, the Sponsor, the
applicable Responsible Party, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee in
respect of such claim.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, each Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Sponsor, the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain
in any way related to any failure by such Servicer or any Subservicer engaged by
such Servicer or any Subcontractor utilized by such Servicer to deliver any
information, report, certification or accountants' letter when and as required
under Sections 3.22, 3.23, 6.02 or 8.12, including without limitation any
failure by such Servicer to identify pursuant to Section 3.02(e) any
Subcontractor "participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of
Item 1122 of Regulation AB.
(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.05 is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Person entitled to
indemnification thereunder, then such Servicer shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable to the Person entitled to indemnification as a result of the
losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such Person in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Person on the one hand and
such Servicer, on the other, in connection with the Servicer's obligations
pursuant to this Section 6.05. This Section 6.05 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of each Servicer.
ARTICLE VII

(a) any failure by a Servicer to remit to the Securities
Administrator any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement
which continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day, or in the case of
Xxxxx Fargo, two Business Days, after the date upon which written notice of such
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to such

in the case of a failure to pay any premium for any insurance policy required to
be maintained under this Agreement and (y) such number of days shall be nine in
the case of a failure to observe or perform any of the obligations set forth in
Sections 3.02, 3.22, 3.23, 6.02 or 8.12), after the earlier of (i) the date on
which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall
have been given to such Servicer by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator
or the Trustee, or to such Servicer, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator
and the Trustee by Certificateholders entitled to at least 25% of the Voting
Rights in the Certificates and (ii) actual knowledge of such failure by a
Servicing Officer of such Servicer; or
(c) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshalling of
assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against a Servicer and such
decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a
period of sixty days; or
(d) a Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to a
Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(e) a Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any
applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(f) a breach of any representation and warranty of a Servicer
referred to in Section 2.03(a), which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders and which continues unremedied for a period
of thirty days after the date upon which written notice of such breach is given
to such Servicer by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor,
or to such Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor
by Certificateholders entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights in the
Certificates; or
(g) either (i) with respect to Xxxxx Fargo or JPMorgan, any
withdrawal or downgrade of two or more levels (i.e., from "Above Average" to

Date, of such Servicer by any Rating Agency which results in a downgrade,
qualification or withdrawal of the rating assigned to any Class of Certificates

rating of HomEq to "RPS2-" or lower, Xxxxx'x reduces its servicer rating of
HomEq to "SQ3" or lower, or S&P reduces its servicer rating of HomEq to
"Average" or lower.
If an Event of Default described in clauses (a) through (g) of this
Section 7.01 shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such
Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the
direction of a majority of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in
writing to the applicable Servicer (with a copy to the Securities Administrator
and each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and obligations of such
Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans serviced by such
Servicer and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder
hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to give
written notice to such Servicer of the occurrence of an Event of Default
described in clauses (b) through (g) of this Section 7.01 unless and until a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence of
such an event. In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default described in clause (a) of
this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall give written notice to the applicable
Servicer of the occurrence of such an event within one Business Day of the first
day on which such Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge of such
occurrence; provided, that if such failure is the failure to make a P&I Advance,
the Trustee shall send such notice prior to 12:00 noon New York time on the
Distribution Date and, if the Event of Default of such Servicer was the failure
to make a P&I Advance, the Trustee, as successor servicer, shall make such P&I
Advance on the Distribution Date that such notice was delivered. On and after
the receipt by such Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of
such Servicer hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or
otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee. Subject to Section 7.02,
the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf
of such Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and
other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and
related documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such written
notice, no such termination shall affect any obligation of such Servicer to pay
amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII. Such Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the Trustee in effecting the termination of such Servicer's responsibilities and
rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee of
all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to the related Collection
Account of such predecessor Servicer, or thereafter be received with respect to
the Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of a Servicer
hereunder, such Servicer shall be entitled to receive from the Trust Fund, prior
to transfer of its servicing obligations hereunder, payment of all accrued and
unpaid Servicing Fees and reimbursement for all outstanding P&I Advances and
Servicing Advances.
Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after
the time a Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 3.24 or
Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the extent provided in
Section 3.05, be the successor to such Servicer in its capacity as servicer
under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and
shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating
thereto placed on such Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and
applicable law including the obligation to make P&I Advances or Servicing
Advances pursuant to Section 3.24 or Section 7.01. As compensation therefor, the
Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans that such
Servicer would have been entitled to charge to its Collection Account if such
Servicer had continued to act hereunder including, if such Servicer was
receiving the Servicing Fee, the Servicing Fee and the income on investments or
gain related to its Collection Account and the Distribution Account which such
Servicer would be entitled to receive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Trustee has become the successor to such Servicer in accordance with Section
7.01, (a) the Trustee shall have a period not to exceed 90 days to complete the
transfer of servicing and all data and to correct or manipulate such servicing
data as may be required by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies
in the servicing data or otherwise enable the Trustee or other successor
servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices and (b) the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall,
if it is prohibited by applicable law from making P&I Advances and Servicing
Advances pursuant to Section 4.01, if it is otherwise unable to so act or at the
written request of Certificateholders entitled to at least a majority of the
Voting Rights, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of
which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by
each Rating Agency, as the successor to such servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
such servicer hereunder. Any successor to such servicer shall be an institution
which is a Xxxxxx Xxx and Freddie Mac approved servicer in good standing, which
has a net worth of at least $30,000,000, which is willing to service the
Mortgage Loans and which executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee
an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, containing an assumption
by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and
liabilities of such terminated servicer (other than liabilities of such
terminated servicer under Section 6.03 incurred prior to termination of such
Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if originally named as a party
to this Agreement; provided, that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its
rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and
delegation will not be qualified or reduced, as a result of such assignment and
delegation. Pending appointment of a successor to a servicer hereunder, the
Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject
to Section 3.05, act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection
with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for
the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and
such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall
be in excess of the Servicing Fee Rate and amounts paid to the predecessor
servicer from investments. The Trustee and such successor shall take such
action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any
such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor servicer shall be
deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay
in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to
perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder,
in either case caused by the failure of the predecessor servicer to deliver or
provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information,
documents or records to it.
In the event that a Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01,
such terminated Servicer shall be responsible for the servicing transfer,
provide notices to the Mortgagors, arrange for and transfer the Servicing Files
to a successor servicer, pay all of its own out-of-pocket costs and expenses at
its own expense and pay all costs and expenses of all other parties hereto
relating to the transfer of the related Servicing Files to a successor servicer
(excluding set-up costs and other administrative expenses of the successor
servicer), and in all other cases the successor servicer shall pay for such
costs and expenses but shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the
Trust Fund. Such amounts payable by the terminated Servicer shall be paid by the
terminated Servicer promptly upon presentation of reasonable documentation of
such costs. If the Trustee is the predecessor Servicer (except in the case where
the Trustee in its role as successor servicer is being terminated pursuant to
Section 7.01 by reason of an Event of Default caused solely by the Trustee as
the successor servicer and not by the predecessor Servicer's actions or
omissions), such costs shall be paid by the prior terminated Servicer promptly
upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs.
Any successor to a Servicer as servicer shall give notice to the
related Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its
service as servicer, maintain in force the policy or policies that each Servicer
is required to maintain pursuant to Section 3.13.
Section 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders. (a) Upon any
termination of or appointment of a successor to a Servicer, the Securities
Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and
to each Rating Agency.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Securities Administrator shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders and
each Rating Agency notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the
Securities Administrator, unless such event shall have been cured or waived.

believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties and neither the Trustee nor the Custodians shall have

not be responsible for any act or omission of any Custodian;
(f) the Trustee shall not be required to risk or expend its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of
its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it;
(g) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment
of funds pursuant to this Agreement;
(h) unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge
of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall not be deemed to
have knowledge of an Event of Default, until a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee shall have received written notice thereof; and
(i) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct
or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order
or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses
and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby.
Section 8.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as the
statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their
correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or
related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or a Servicer of any
funds paid to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or a Servicer in
respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from any Collection
Account or the Distribution Account by the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator or a Servicer.
The Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing or recording any
financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to
otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien
granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have become the successor
servicer).
Section 8.04 Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates
with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Trustee.
Section 8.05 Trustee's Fees and Expenses. As compensation for its
activities under this Agreement, the Trustee shall be paid its fee by the
Securities Administrator from the Securities Administrator's own funds pursuant
to a separate agreement. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee, or
agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund against any loss,
liability, or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) resulting from any
error in any tax or information return prepared by any Servicer or incurred in
connection with any claim or legal action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b)
the Certificates or the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, or (c) the performance of
any of the Trustee's duties under this Agreement (including any unreimbursed
out-of-pocket costs resulting from a servicing transfer), the Certificates or
the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, other than any loss, liability, or expense (i)
resulting from any breach of any Servicer's obligations in connection with this
Agreement for which the related Servicer has performed its obligation to
indemnify the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.05, (ii) resulting from any breach
of any Responsible Party's obligations in connection with this Agreement for
which the related Responsible Party has performed its obligations to indemnify
the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.03(j) or (iii) incurred because of willful
misconduct, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee's
duties under this Agreement. This indemnity shall survive the termination of
this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee under this
Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise agreed upon in
writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any expense,
disbursement, or advance arising from the Trustee's negligence, bad faith, or
willful misconduct, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Trustee, for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements, and advances incurred or made by the Trustee
in accordance with this Agreement with respect to:
(A) the reasonable compensation, expenses, and disbursements of
its counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance of
the Certificates, and
(B) the reasonable compensation, expenses, and disbursements of
any accountant, engineer, or appraiser that is not regularly
employed by the Trustee, to the extent that the Trustee must
engage them to perform services under this Agreement.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or a separate letter
agreement between the Trustee and the Depositor, the Trustee shall not be
entitled to payment or reimbursement for any routine ongoing expenses incurred
by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties as Trustee under this
Agreement or for any other expenses incurred by the Trustee; provided, however,
that no expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund under this Agreement if it
would not constitute an "unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC" within the
meaning of the REMIC Provisions.
Section 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for the Trustee. The Trustee
hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association organized and doing
business under the laws of a state or the United States of America, authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority and with a credit rating which would not cause any of
the Rating Agencies to reduce their respective then current ratings of the
Certificates (or having provided such security from time to time as is
sufficient to avoid such reduction) as evidenced in writing by each Rating
Agency. If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06
the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07. The
entity serving as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with
the Depositor and its Affiliates or the Servicers and their Affiliates;
provided, however, that such entity cannot be an Affiliate of the Depositor or a
Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to a Servicer.
Section 8.07 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee. The Trustee may
at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving
written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator,
the Servicers and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date
specified in such notice, when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to
take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section
8.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no successor
trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice or
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the
Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or
shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of
its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or
control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to
the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located
and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a
different trustee, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which shall
be delivered to the Trustee, one copy to each Servicer and one copy to the
successor trustee.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least a majority of the
Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee
by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which shall be
delivered by the successor Trustee to each Servicer, one complete set to the
Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. The
successor trustee shall notify each Rating Agency of any removal of the Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to this Section 8.07 shall become effective upon
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08.
Section 8.08 Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as
provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor
and to its predecessor trustee and the Servicers an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the
like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The Depositor, the
Servicers and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments
and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and
certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights,
powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.08 unless at the time of its acceptance, the successor trustee is
eligible under Section 8.06 and its appointment does not adversely affect the
then current rating of the Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail
such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the
expense of the Depositor.
Section 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of the Trustee. Any corporation
into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder; provided, that such corporation shall be eligible under Section 8.06
without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any
of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In
connection with the succession to the Trustee under this Agreement by any Person
(i) into which the Trustee may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be
appointed as a successor to the Trustee, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor
of such succession or appointment and shall furnish to the Depositor in writing
and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all
information reasonably necessary for the Depositor to accurately and timely
report, pursuant to Section 8.12(g), the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K
pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are
required to be filed under the Exchange Act).
Section 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be
located, the applicable Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the
power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more
Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with
the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part
thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
applicable Servicer and the Trustee may consider appropriate. If any Servicer
shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by
such Servicer of a request to do so or in the case an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make
such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required
to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and
no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate
trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(a) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this
Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee as successor Servicer
under this Agreement to advance funds, shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not
authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to
the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or
acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to a
Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations
(including the holding of title to the applicable Trust Fund or any portion
thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by
such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(b) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable because of
any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall
not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or
co-trustee as agent of the Trustee;
(c) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove
any separate trustee or co-trustee; and
(d) The Trust Fund, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the
payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any
such separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when
and as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to each
Servicer and the Depositor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
Section 8.11 Tax Matters. It is intended that the assets with
respect to which any REMIC election pertaining to the Trust Fund is to be made,
as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the
conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such
assets as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the
Securities Administrator covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and
the Securities Administrator is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of
each Trust REMIC and that in such capacity it shall:
(a) prepare for the Trustee to sign, and the Trustee shall sign, and
the Securities Administrator shall file, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate
Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC) Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any
successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare for the
Trustee to sign, and the Trustee shall sign, and the Securities Administrator
shall file with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax
authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect
to each Trust REMIC containing such information and at the times and in the
manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations,
or rules, and furnish to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or
information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby;
(b) within thirty days of the Closing Date, apply for an employer
identification number from the Internal Revenue Service via Form SS-4 or any
other acceptable method for all tax entities and shall also furnish to the
Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the
Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the
Holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto,
together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and
update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code;
(c) make an election that each of Pooling-Tier REMIC-1, Pooling-Tier
REMIC-2, the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC be treated as a REMIC on
the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under
applicable state law);
(d) prepare and forward to the Certificateholders and to the
Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all
information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including the calculation of any original
issue discount using the prepayment assumption (as described in the Prospectus
Supplement);
(e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed
on the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is a Non-Permitted
Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a
Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted
Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing
and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such
tax);
(f) to the extent that they are under its control, conduct matters
relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are Outstanding so as
to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions;
(g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take
any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any Trust
REMIC created hereunder;
(h) pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this
Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited
transaction taxes as described below, imposed on any Trust REMIC created
hereunder before its termination when and as the same shall be due and payable
(but such obligation shall not prevent the Securities Administrator or any other
appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and
shall not prevent the Securities Administrator from withholding payment of such
tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings);
(i) cause federal, state or local income tax or information returns
to be signed by the Trustee or such other Person as may be required to sign such
returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; and
(j) maintain records relating to each Trust REMIC created hereunder,
including the income, expenses, assets, and liabilities thereof on a calendar
year basis and on the accrual method of accounting and the fair market value and
adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by
the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules,
statements or information.
The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class R
Certificates shall act as Tax Matters Person for each Trust REMIC, within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d), and the Securities
Administrator is hereby designated as agent of such Certificateholder for such
purpose (or if the Securities Administrator is not so permitted, such Holder
shall be the Tax Matters Person in accordance with the REMIC Provisions). In
such capacity, the Securities Administrator shall, as and when necessary and
appropriate, represent each Trust REMIC created hereunder in any administrative
or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental
taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of
each Trust REMIC created hereunder, enter into settlement agreements with any
governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any
tax item of each Trust REMIC created hereunder, and otherwise act on behalf of
each Trust REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it.
The Securities Administrator shall treat the rights of the Class P
Certificateholders to Prepayment Charges, the rights of the Class X
Certificateholders to receive amounts in the Excess Reserve Fund Account and the
Swap Account (subject to the obligation to pay Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts
and Upper-Tier CarryForward Amounts) and the rights of the Offered
Certificateholders to receive Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts and Upper-Tier
CarryForward Amounts as the beneficial ownership of interests in a grantor
trust, and not as obligations of any Trust REMIC created hereunder, for federal
income tax purposes. The Securities Administrator shall file or cause to be
filed with the Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 or such other form as may be
applicable and shall furnish or cause to be furnished, to the Class P
Certificateholders, Class X Certificateholders and Offered Certificateholders,
the respective amounts described above that are received, in the time or times
and in the manner required by the Code.
To enable the Securities Administrator to perform its duties under
this Agreement, the Depositor shall provide to the Securities Administrator
within ten days after the Closing Date all information or data that the
Securities Administrator requests in writing and determines to be relevant for
tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates,
including the price, yield, prepayment assumption, and projected cash flows of
the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, the Depositor shall provide
information to the Securities Administrator concerning the value, if any, to
each Class of Certificates of the right to receive Basis Risk CarryForward
Amounts from the Excess Reserve Fund Account and Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts
and Upper-Tier CarryForward Amounts from the Swap Account. Thereafter, the
Depositor shall provide to the Securities Administrator promptly upon written
request therefor any additional information or data that the Securities
Administrator may, from time to time, reasonably request to enable the
Securities Administrator to perform its duties under this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Depositor shall not be required to provide any information
regarding the Mortgage Loans that the applicable Servicer is required to provide
to the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement. The Depositor hereby
indemnifies the Securities Administrator for any losses, liabilities, damages,
claims, or expenses of the Securities Administrator arising from any errors or
miscalculations of the Securities Administrator that result from any failure of
the Depositor to provide pursuant to this paragraph accurate information or data
to the Securities Administrator on a timely basis.
None of the Servicers, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
shall (i) permit the creation of any interests in any Trust REMIC other than the
regular and residual interests set forth in the Preliminary Statement, (ii)
receive any amount representing a fee or other compensation for services (except
as otherwise permitted by this Agreement or the related Mortgage Loan documents)
or (iii) otherwise knowingly or intentionally take any action, cause the Trust
Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any
action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically
set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as
the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or
(ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund
(including but not limited to the tax on "prohibited transactions" as defined in
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth
in Section 860G(d) of the Code, or the tax on "net income from foreclosure
property") unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator receive an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or,
if such party fails to pay such expense, and the Securities Administrator
determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the Trust Fund and
the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust Fund, but in no event at the
expense of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator) to the effect that the
contemplated action will not, with respect to the Trust Fund, any Trust REMIC
created hereunder, endanger such status or, unless the Trustee determines in its
sole discretion to indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, result in the
imposition of such a tax).
If any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of any Trust
REMIC as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income from
foreclosure property" of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 as defined in Section 860G(c)
of the Code, on any contribution to any Trust REMIC after the Start-up Day
pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including,
if applicable, any minimum tax imposed on any Trust REMIC pursuant to Sections
23153 and 24878 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as
otherwise provided for herein, the tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, respectively, if such tax arises out of or results
from negligence of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator in the
performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the applicable
Servicer and the Responsible Party, jointly, in the case of any such minimum
tax, and the applicable Servicer if such tax arises out of or results from a
breach by such Servicer of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (iii)
the applicable Responsible Party if such tax arises out of or results from the
applicable Responsible Party's obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant
to Section 2.03, or (iv) in all other cases, or if the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the applicable Servicer or the applicable Responsible Party fails
to honor its obligations under the preceding clause (i), (ii), or (iii), any
such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the
Certificateholders, as provided in Section 4.02(a).
Section 8.12 Periodic Filings. (a) The Securities Administrator and
each Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with
the reporting requirements of the Trust under the Exchange Act. The Securities
Administrator shall prepare for execution by the Depositor any Forms 8-K (other
than the initial Form 8-K relating to this Agreement, which shall be the
responsibility of the Depositor to prepare and file), 10-D and 10-K required by
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, in
order to permit the timely filing thereof, pursuant to the terms of this Section
8.12, and the Securities Administrator shall file (via the Commission's
Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System, or XXXXX) such Forms executed by
the Depositor.
(b) The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of
the Trust any Form 10-D required by the Exchange Act, in form and substance as
required by the Exchange Act. The Securities Administrator will utilize
reasonable best efforts to file such Form 10-D on or by the 14th calendar day
after each Distribution Date, but in no event later than the filing deadline for
such Form 10-D (subject to permitted extensions under the Exchange Act). The
Securities Administrator shall file each Form 10-D with a copy of the related
Monthly Statement attached thereto. Any disclosure in addition to the Monthly
Statement that is required to be included on Form 10-D ("Additional Form 10-D
Disclosure") shall be prepared by the party responsible for preparing such
disclosure as set forth in Exhibit S hereto and the Securities Administrator
shall compile such disclosure pursuant to the following paragraph. The
Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure
hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, except as
set forth in the next paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit S hereto, within 5 calendar days after the
related Distribution Date, the parties to this Agreement shall be required to
provide to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, in XXXXX-compatible
format, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities
Administrator and such party, to the extent known by such applicable parties,
any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable. The Depositor will approve
as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of
the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure. The Depositor will be responsible for all
reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities
Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure
on Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph, including converting any such
disclosure to an XXXXX-compatible format.
The Securities Administrator shall prepare and forward
electronically a draft copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor sufficiently far
in advance of, but in no event later than the 11th calendar day after the
related Distribution Date, for the Depositor to review, verify and execute such
Form 10-D. No later than 2 Business Days prior to the 15th calendar day after
the related Distribution Date, an officer of the Depositor shall sign the Form
10-D and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-D (with an
original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Securities
Administrator. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed
Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the
procedures set forth in Section 8.12(e)(ii). Promptly (but in any case within
one Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator
will make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form
10-D prepared and filed by the Securities Administrator. The signing party at
the Depositor can be contacted at the Depositor's address for notices set forth
in Section 11.05(b)(ii)(a) or such other address as to which the Depositor has
provided prior written notice to the Securities Administrator. The Depositor
acknowledges that the performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties
under this Section 8.12(b) related to the timely preparation and filing of Form
10-D is contingent, in part, upon the Servicers, the Depositor and any other
Person obligated to provide Additional Form 10-D Disclosure as set forth on
Exhibit R hereto, observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their
duties under this Section 8.12(b). The Securities Administrator shall have no
liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to
any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such
failure results from the Securities Administrator's inability or failure to
obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any party hereto
(other than the Securities Administrator or any Subcontractor utilized by the
Securities Administrator) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such
Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.
(c) On any date within 90 days (including the 90th day) after the
end of each fiscal year of the Trust or such earlier date as may be required by
the Exchange Act (the "10-K Filing Deadline"), commencing in March 2007, the
Securities Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust a Form
10-K, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act. Each such Form 10-K
shall include the following items, in each case to the extent they have been
delivered to the Securities Administrator within the applicable time frames set
forth in this Agreement, (i) an annual compliance statement for the Securities
Administrator, each Servicer and each Subservicer engaged by a Servicer and the
Securities Administrator, as described under Section 3.22, (ii)(A) the annual
reports on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria for the Securities
Administrator, each Servicer, each Custodian, each Subservicer engaged by a
Servicer and each Servicing Function Participant utilized by a Servicer, each
Custodian or the Securities Administrator, as described under Section 3.23, and
(B) if any such report on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria
described under Section 3.23 identifies any material instance of noncompliance,
disclosure identifying such instance of noncompliance, or such report on
assessment of compliance with servicing criteria described under Section 3.23 is
not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not
included and an explanation why such report is not included, (iii)(A) the
registered public accounting firm attestation report for the Securities
Administrator, each Servicer, each Custodian, each Subservicer engaged by a
Servicer and each Servicing Function Participant utilized by a Servicer, the
Securities Administrator or any Custodian, as described under Section 3.23, and
(B) if any registered public accounting firm attestation report described under
Section 3.23 identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure
identifying such instance of noncompliance, or if any such registered public
accounting firm attestation report is not included as an exhibit to such Form
10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation why such
report is not included, and (iv) a certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit L, with such changes as may be necessary or appropriate as a result of
changes promulgated by the Commission (the "Sarbanes Certification"), which
shall be signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of
securitization. Any disclosure or information in addition to (i) through (iv)
above that is required to be included on Form 10-K ("Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure") shall be prepared by the party responsible for preparing such
disclosure as set forth on Exhibit T hereto, and the Securities Administrator
shall compile such disclosure pursuant to the following paragraph. The
Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure
hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, except as
set forth in the next paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit T hereto, no later than March 1st of each
year (or, in the case of each Servicer, March 5th of each year) that the Trust
is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, commencing in 2007, the
parties to this Agreement shall be required to provide to the Securities
Administrator and the Depositor, in XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other
form as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, to
the extent known by such applicable parties, any Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure, if applicable. The Depositor will approve as to form and substance,
or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure. The Depositor will be responsible for all reasonable fees and
expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with
including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant to this
paragraph, including converting any such disclosure to an XXXXX-compatible
format. The Securities Administrator shall compile all such information provided
to it in a Form 10-K prepared by it.
The Securities Administrator shall prepare and forward
electronically a draft copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor sufficiently far
in advance of, but in no event less than three (3) Business Days prior to, when
the Depositor is required to execute such Form 10-K to permit the Depositor to
review, verify and execute such Form 10-K. No later than 5:00 p.m. EST on the
4th Business Day prior to the 10-K Filing Deadline, an officer of the Depositor
shall sign the Form 10-K and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed
Form 10-K (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to
the Securities Administrator. If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a
previously filed Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator
will follow the procedures set forth in Section 8.12(f)(ii). Promptly (but in
any case within one Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the
Securities Administrator will make available on its internet website a final
executed copy of each Form 10-K prepared and filed by the Securities
Administrator. The Depositor acknowledges that the performance by the Securities
Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(c) related to the timely
preparation and filing of Form 10-K is contingent, in part, upon the Servicers
(and any Subservicer or Servicing Function Participant engaged by a Servicer)
and the Depositor and any other Person obligated to provide Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure as set forth on Exhibit T hereto, observing all applicable deadlines
in the performance of their duties under this Section 8.12(c), Section 8.12(d),
Section 3.22 and Section 3.23. The Securities Administrator shall have no
liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect
to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such
failure results from the Securities Administrator's inability or failure to
obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any party hereto
(other than the Securities Administrator or any Subcontractor utilized by the
Securities Administrator) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such
Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.
(d) In connection with the execution of a Sarbanes Certification,
the Securities Administrator shall sign a certification (in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit M, with such changes as may be necessary or appropriate as a
result of changes promulgated by the Commission) for the benefit of the
Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates, and each Servicer shall
sign a certification solely with respect to such Servicer (substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit N, with such changes as may be necessary or
appropriate as a result of changes promulgated by the Commission) for the
benefit of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and their respective
officers, directors and Affiliates. Each such certification shall be delivered
to the Depositor no later than March 10th of each year (or if such day is not a
Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) and the Depositor shall
deliver the Sarbanes Certification no later than the time set forth for the
delivery to the Securities Administrator of the signed Form 10-K pursuant to
Section 8.12(d) for such year. In the event that prior to the filing date of the
Form 10-K in March of each year, a Servicer or the Securities Administrator has
actual knowledge of information material to the Sarbanes Certification, that
party shall promptly notify the Depositor and each of the other parties signing
the certifications. In addition, (i) the Securities Administrator shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and the Sponsor and their officers,
directors, employees, agents and Affiliates from and against any losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and
related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based
upon any breach of the Securities Administrator's obligations under this Section
8.12(d) or any material misstatement or material omission in (w) any compliance
certificate delivered by the Securities Administrator or any Subcontractor of
the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 3.22 of this Agreement, (x) any
assessment or attestation delivered by or on behalf of the Securities
Administrator or any Subcontractor of the Securities Administrator pursuant to
Section 3.23 of this Agreement, (y) any back-up certification in the form of
Exhibit M delivered by the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 8.12(d)
of this Agreement or (z) any information about the Securities Administrator
provided by it pursuant to Item 2 (Legal Proceedings) of Exhibit S, Item 1117
and Item 1119 of Exhibit T or Item 6.02 (Change of Securities Administrator) of
Exhibit U (collectively, the "Securities Administrator Information"), or the
Securities Administrator's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in
connection therewith, and (ii) each Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Securities Administrator and their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates from and against any
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or
based upon any breach of such Servicer's obligations under this Section 8.12(d)
or any material misstatement or material omission, negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct of such Servicer in connection therewith. If the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless any indemnified party, then (i) the Securities Administrator agrees in
connection with a breach of the Securities Administrator's obligations under
this Section 8.12(d) or any material misstatement or material omission contained
in any Securities Administrator Information, negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct in connection therewith that it shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by the Depositor and the Sponsor as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities of the Depositor and the Sponsor in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor and the Sponsor on
the one hand and the Securities Administrator on the other and (ii) each
Servicer, several and not jointly, agrees that it shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities of such indemnified party in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such indemnified party, on the one
hand, and such Servicer, on the other hand, in connection with a breach of such
Servicer's obligations under this Section 8.12(d) or any material misstatement
or material omission, negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such
Servicer in connection therewith.
(e) (i) The obligations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of
this Section shall only apply with respect to periods for which reports are
required to be filed with respect to the Trust under the Exchange Act. Prior to
January 30 of the first year in which the Securities Administrator is able to do
so under applicable law, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file a
Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust, with a copy to the
Depositor. At the beginning of the immediately succeeding calendar year after
the filing of a Form 15 Suspension Notification, if the number of Holders of the
Offered Certificates of record exceeds the number set forth in Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act or the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto which would
cause the Trust to again become subject to the reporting requirements of the
Exchange Act, the Securities Administrator shall recommence preparing and filing
reports on Form 10-K, 10-D and 8-K as required pursuant to this Section 8.12 and
the parties hereto shall again have the obligations set forth in this Section.
(ii) In the event that the Securities Administrator is unable
to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of
any Form 8-K (other than the initial Form 8-K filed by the Depositor
with respect to this Agreement), 10-D or 10-K required to be filed
pursuant to this Agreement because required disclosure information
was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery
deadlines (and the expiration of the applicable grace period with
respect to such deadline prior to such failure to deliver resulting
in an Event of Default) set forth in this Agreement, the Securities
Administrator will promptly notify the Depositor and if necessary,
or applicable, the Servicers. In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K, the
Depositor, Servicers and the Securities Administrator will thereupon
cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a 10-DA and 10-KA as
applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case
of Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator will, upon receipt of all
disclosure information required to be included on Form 8-K, include
such disclosure information on the next Form 10-D. In the event that
any previously filed Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K needs to be amended, the
party to this Agreement deciding that an amendment to such Form 8-K,
10-D or 10-K is required will notify the Depositor if the amendment
pertains to an additional disclosure item and the Depositor will
cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 8-KA, 10-DA or 10-KA. Any
Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K
shall be signed by an officer of the Depositor. The Depositor
acknowledges that the performance by the Securities Administrator of
its duties under this Section 8.12(f) related to the timely
preparation and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to
Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is contingent upon the Servicers and the
Depositor observing all applicable deadlines (and the related grace
periods thereto) in the performance of their duties under this
Section 8.12 and Section 3.22 and Section 3.23. The Securities
Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage,
claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly
prepare and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any
amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results
from the Securities Administrator's inability or failure to obtain
or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any party hereto
(other than the Securities Administrator or any Subcontractor
utilized by the Securities Administrator) needed to prepare, arrange
for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to
Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct.
(f) On any date within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence
of an event requiring disclosure on Form 8-K (each such event, a "Reportable
Event"), and if requested by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall
prepare and file on behalf of the Trust any Form 8-K, as required by the
Exchange Act, provided that the Depositor shall file the initial Form 8-K in
connection with the issuance of the Certificates. Any disclosure or information
related to a Reportable Event or that is otherwise required to be included on
Form 8-K ("Form 8-K Disclosure Information") shall be prepared by the party
responsible for preparing such disclosure as set forth on Exhibit U hereto and
compiled by the Securities Administrator pursuant to the following paragraph.
The Securities Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure
hereunder to determine or prepare any Form 8-K Disclosure Information or any
Form 8-K, except as set forth in the next paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit U hereto, for so long as the Trust is
subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no later than noon Eastern
Time on the 2nd Business Day after the occurrence of a Reportable Event, the
parties to this Agreement shall be required to provide to the Depositor and the
Securities Administrator, in XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other form as
otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, to the
extent known by such applicable parties, any Form 8-K Disclosure Information, if
applicable. The Depositor will be responsible for all reasonable fees and
expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with
including any Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form 8-K pursuant to this
paragraph, including the conversion of any such disclosure into an
XXXXX-compatible format. The Depositor will approve as to form and substance, or
disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Form 8-K Disclosure
Information.
(g) The Securities Administrator shall prepare and forward
electronically a draft copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor sufficiently far in
advance of, but in no event later than noon (Eastern Standard Time) on the 3rd
Business Day after a Reportable Event, when the Depositor is required to execute
such Form 8-K to permit the Depositor to review, verify and execute such Form
8-K. No later than noon Eastern Time on the 4th Business Day after the
Reportable Event, an officer of the Depositor shall sign the Form 8-K and return
an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 8-K (with an original executed
hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Securities Administrator. If a
Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 8-K needs to be
amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in
Section 8.12(e)(ii). Promptly (but in any case within one Business Day) after
filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator will, make available on
its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 8-K prepared and filed
by the Securities Administrator. The Depositor acknowledges that the performance
by the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(g) related
to the timely preparation and filing of Form 8-K is contingent, in part, upon
the Servicers, the Depositor and any other Person obligated to provide Form 8-K
Disclosure Information as set forth on Exhibit U hereto, observing all
applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section
8.12(f). The Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss,
expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to
properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results
from the Securities Administrator's inability or failure to obtain or receive,
on a timely basis, any information from any party hereto (other than the
Securities Administrator or any Subcontractor utilized by the Securities
Administrator) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K,
not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(h) The Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any
loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or resulting from (i) the accuracy
or inaccuracy of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure Information (excluding any information therein
provided by the Securities Administrator or any Subcontractor utilized by the
Securities Administrator) provided to the Securities Administrator in connection
with the preparation of Forms 10-D, 10-K and 8-K pursuant to this Section 8.12,
or (ii) the failure of the Depositor to timely execute and return for filing any
Forms 10-D, 10-K and 8-K required to be filed by the Securities Administrator
pursuant to this Section 8.12, in either case, not resulting from the Securities
Administrator's own negligence, bad faith or misconduct.
Section 8.13 Tax Treatment of Upper-Tier CarryForward Amounts, Basis
Risk CarryForward Amounts and Class IO Shortfalls; Tax Classification of the
Excess Reserve Fund Account, Swap Account and the Interest Rate Swap Agreement.
For federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator shall treat the
Excess Reserve Fund Account and the Swap Account as beneficially owned by the
holders of the Class X Certificates and shall treat such portion of the Trust
Fund as a grantor trust, within the meaning of subpart E, Part I of subchapter J
of the Code. The Securities Administrator shall treat the rights that each Class
of Offered Certificates has to receive payments of Basis Risk CarryForward
Amounts, and to the extent not paid from the Excess Reserve Fund Account, Basis
Risk CarryForward Amounts and, without duplication, Upper Tier CarryForward
Amounts from the Swap Account (together with Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts
from the Excess Reserve Fund Account) as rights to receive payments under an
interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholder in favor of
each such Class and beneficially owned by each such Class through the grantor
trust. Accordingly, each Class of Certificates (excluding the Class X, Class P
and Class R Certificates) will be comprised of two components - an Upper-Tier
Regular Interest and an interest in an interest rate cap contract, and the Class
X Certificates will be comprised of four components - two Upper-Tier Regular
Interests (the Class X Interest and the Class IO Interest), an interest in the
Excess Reserve Fund Account, subject to obligation to pay Basis Risk
CarryForward Amounts, and ownership of the Swap Account and the Interest Rate
Swap Agreement, subject to the obligation to pay Upper-Tier CarryForward Amounts
including, but without duplication, Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts. The
Securities Administrator shall allocate the issue price for a Class of
Certificates among the respective components for purposes of determining the
issue price of the Upper-Tier Regular Interest component based on information
received from the Depositor. Unless otherwise advised by the Depositor in
writing, for federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator is hereby
directed to assign a value of zero to the right of each Holder of an Offered
Certificate to receive the related Upper-Tier CarryForward Amount and, without
duplication, the related Basis Risk CarryForward Amount for purposes of
allocating the purchase price of an Offered Certificate acquired by an initial
Holder thereof between such right and the related Upper-Tier Regular Interest.
Holders of Offered Certificates shall also be treated as having
agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holders of the Class X
Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) Net Swap
Payments and Swap Termination Payments (other than Defaulted Swap Termination
Payments) over (ii) the sum of amounts payable on the Class X Interest available
for such payments and amounts payable on the Class IO Interest (such excess, a
"Class IO Shortfall"), first from interest and then from principal distributable
on the Offered Certificates. A Class IO Shortfall payable from interest
collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Offered Certificates based on
the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Class of Offered Certificates,
and a Class IO Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated
in reverse sequential order beginning with the most subordinate Class of Offered
Certificates then Outstanding.
Any payments of Class IO Shortfalls shall be treated for tax
purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Class of Offered
Certificates in respect of the corresponding Upper-Tier Regular Interest and as
having been paid by such Holders to the Holders of the Class X Certificates
through the Swap Account. In the event any class of Upper-Tier Regular Interest
corresponding to a class of Offered Certificates is subject to the Upper-Tier
REMIC Loan Group I Rate, the Upper-Tier REMIC Loan Group II Rate or the
Upper-Tier REMIC WAC Rate, and such rate exceeds the applicable Pass-Through
Rate of the Corresponding Class of Certificates as a result of a Swap
Termination Payment or otherwise, such excess shall be deemed first paid to the
related Upper-Tier Regular Interest and then paid to the Class X Certificates in
a manner analogous to Class IO Shortfalls.
Section 8.14 Custodial Responsibilities. (a) Each Custodian shall
provide access to the Mortgage Loan Documents in possession of such Custodian
regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof
to the Trustee, the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and
examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon two (2) Business
Days' prior written request and during normal business hours at the office of
the applicable Custodian. Each Custodian shall allow representatives of the
above entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall
provide equipment for that purpose at the expense of the person requesting such
access.
Upon receipt of a written request made by a Servicer in the form of
the Request for Release, the applicable Custodian shall release within five
Business Days the related Mortgage File in accordance with Section 3.16.
(b) Each Custodian and any of its respective directors, officers,
employees or agents shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless
against any loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
incurred in connection with any claim or legal action relating to this Agreement
or the performance of any of the Custodian's duties under this Agreement other
than any loss, liability, or expense incurred (i) resulting from any breach of a
Servicer's obligations in connection with this Agreement for which such Servicer
has performed its obligations to indemnify the Custodians pursuant to Section
6.05, (ii) resulting from any breach of the applicable Responsible Party's
obligations in connection with this Agreement for which the applicable
Responsible Party has performed its obligations to indemnify the Custodians
pursuant to Section 2.03(k), or (iii) because of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
or negligence in the performance of any of the Custodian's duties under this
Agreement. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the
earlier resignation or removal of the Custodian. Except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement or a separate letter agreement between the Depositor and the
applicable Custodian, such Custodian shall not be entitled to payment or
reimbursement for any routine ongoing expenses incurred by such Custodian in the
ordinary course of its duties as Custodian under this Agreement or for any other
expenses incurred by the Custodian; provided, however, that no expense shall be
reimbursed by the Trust Fund under this Agreement if it would not constitute an
"unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC" within the meaning of the REMIC
Provisions.
(c) Each Custodian may resign from its obligations hereunder upon 60
days' prior written notice to the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicers. Such
resignation shall take effect upon (i) the appointment of a successor Custodian
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee within such 60 day period; and (ii)
delivery of all Custodial Files to the successor Custodian. The Trustee shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to become the successor Custodian. If no
successor Xxxxxxxxx is appointed within 60 days after written notice of the
applicable Custodian's resignation is received by the Trustee, such Custodian
may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Xxxxxxxxx.
Upon such resignation and appointment of successor Xxxxxxxxx, the
applicable Custodian shall, at such Custodian's expense (unless for nonpayment,
then at the expense of the Trust), promptly transfer to the successor Custodian,
as directed in writing by the Trustee, all Mortgage Files being administered
under this Agreement.
(d) For so long as reports are required to be filed with the
Commission under the Exchange Act with respect to the Trust, the Custodians
shall not utilize any Subcontractor for the performance of its duties hereunder
if such Subcontractor would be "participating in the servicing function" within
the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Each Custodian shall indemnify the
Depositor, the Sponsor and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Depositor or the Sponsor and hold them harmless against any and all claims,
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that
any of them may sustain in any way related to the breach by the applicable
Custodian of its obligation set forth in the preceding sentence or the failure
of any Custodian to perform any of its obligations under Section 3.23. This
indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier
resignation or removal of the Custodian.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no
Custodian shall be required to deliver, or to cause to be delivered, information
relating to Item 1117 of Regulation AB pursuant to Sections 8.12(b) and (c) and
Exhibits S and T to this Agreement for any reporting period of the Trust in
which the Custodian's Weighted Average Percentage is less than 20%. The
"Custodian's Weighted Average Percentage" means, for the applicable reporting
period of the Trust and each Custodian, the quotient, expressed as a percentage,
of (A) the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balance for each Distribution Date
in such reporting period of the Mortgage Loans for which such Custodian acted as
Custodian divided by (B) the aggregate of the Pool Stated Principal Balance for
each Distribution Date in such reporting period.
ARTICLE IX
CONCERNING THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR
Section 9.01 Duties of Securities Administrator. The Securities
Administrator shall undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement.
The Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to the Securities Administrator that are specifically
required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall
examine them to determine whether they are in the form required by this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall not be
responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate,
statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument. If any such
instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements
of this Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall notify the
Certificateholders of such non conforming instrument in the event the Securities
Administrator, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected
instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Securities Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) the duties and obligations of the Securities Administrator shall
be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the
Securities Administrator shall not be liable except for the performance of
such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Securities Administrator and the Securities
Administrator may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and
the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates
or opinions furnished to the Securities Administrator and conforming to
the requirements of this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be
genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities
respecting any matters arising hereunder;
(ii) the Securities Administrator shall not be liable for an error
of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers of the Securities Administrator, unless it shall be conclusively
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, such determination no
longer subject to appeal, that the Securities Administrator was negligent
in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) the Securities Administrator shall not be liable with respect
to any action or inaction taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in
good faith in accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of Certificates relating
to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Securities Administrator, or exercising or omitting to
exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Securities Administrator
under this Agreement; and
(iv) the Securities Administrator shall not be accountable, shall
have no liability and makes no representation as to any acts or omissions
hereunder of the Servicers or the Trustee.
The Securities Administrator shall be permitted to utilize one or
more Subcontractors for the performance of certain of its obligations under this
Agreement, provided that the Securities Administrator complies with Section
3.02(e) as if the Securities Administrator were a "Servicer" pursuant to that
Section. The Securities Administrator shall indemnify the Depositor, such
Sponsor and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or such
Sponsor and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may
sustain in any way related to the failure of the Securities Administrator to
perform any of its obligations under Section 3.22 or Section 3.23, including
without limitation any failure by the Securities Administrator to identify
pursuant to Section 3.02(e) any Subcontractor that is a Servicing Function
Participant. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or
the earlier resignation or removal of the Securities Administrator.
Section 9.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Securities Administrator.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01:
(i) the Securities Administrator may request and conclusively rely
upon and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon
any resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors or any
other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper party or parties and the Securities Administrator shall have no
responsibility to ascertain or confirm the genuineness of any signature of
any such party or parties;
(ii) the Securities Administrator may consult with counsel,
financial advisers or accountants and the advice of any such counsel,
financial advisers or accountants and any advice or Opinion of Counsel
shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any
action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in

action or inaction taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and
believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or
powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(iv) the Securities Administrator shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,

consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless

less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of
Certificates; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Securities Administrator of the costs, expenses or liabilities
likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the
opinion of the Securities Administrator, not reasonably assured to the
Securities Administrator by the security afforded to it by the terms of
this Agreement, the Securities Administrator may require reasonable
indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to so
proceeding. Nothing in this clause (iv) shall derogate from the obligation
of the Securities Administrator to observe any applicable law prohibiting
disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors, provided that the
Master Servicer shall have no liability for disclosure required by this
Agreement;
(v) the Securities Administrator may execute any of the trusts or
powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or

notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each
Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.

Section 11.04 Intention of Parties. It is the express intent of the
parties hereto that the conveyance (i) of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor
and (ii) of the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee each be, and be
construed as, an absolute sale thereof. It is, further, not the intention of the

that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the
property of the Depositor, as the case may be, or if for any other reason this

then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the
meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the
conveyances provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment
and a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the

whether now owned or hereafter acquired.
The Depositor, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall, to
the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary
to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in
the Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected
security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained
as such throughout the term of the Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for
filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with
any security interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.

in the case of each of the Rating Agencies, the address specified therefor in
the definition corresponding to the name of such Rating Agency. Notices to
Certificateholders shall be deemed given when mailed, first class postage
prepaid, to their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.
Section 11.06 Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any
reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or
terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Certificates
or the rights of the Holders thereof.
Section 11.07 Assignment; Sales; Advance Facilities. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided in Section 6.04,
this Agreement may not be assigned by any Servicer without the prior written
consent of the Trustee and the Depositor; provided, however, each Servicer is
hereby authorized to enter into an Advance Facility under which (l) such
Servicer sells, assigns or pledges to an Advancing Person the Servicer's rights
under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any P&I Advances or Servicing Advances
and/or (2) an Advancing Person agrees to fund some or all P&I Advances or
Servicing Advances required to be made by such Servicer pursuant to this
Agreement. No consent of the Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party is
required before a Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility. Notwithstanding
the existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advancing Person agrees to
fund P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances on a Servicer's behalf, such
Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make P&I Advances
and Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement, and shall
not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility.
Reimbursement amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect of
P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances made with respect to the Mortgage Loans
for which a Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with
this Agreement, assuming such Servicer had made the related P&I Advance(s)
and/or Servicing Advance(s).
The applicable Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor
servicer a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced
by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advancing Person. The
successor servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by
the predecessor Servicer, and the successor servicer shall not be liable for any
errors in such information.
An Advancing Person who purchases or receives an assignment or
pledge of the rights to be reimbursed for P&I Advances and/or Servicing
Advances, and/or whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of P&I
Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the criteria
for qualification of a Subservicer set forth in this Agreement.
The documentation establishing any Advance Facility shall require
that reimbursement amounts distributed with respect to each Mortgage Loan be
allocated to outstanding unreimbursed P&I Advances or Servicing Advances (as the
case may be) made with respect to that Mortgage Loan on a "first-in, first out"
(FIFO) basis. Such documentation shall also require the applicable Servicer to
provide to the related Advancing Person or its designee loan-by-loan information
with respect to each such reimbursement amount distributed to such Advancing
Person or Advance Facility trustee on each Distribution Date, to enable the
Advancing Person or Advance Facility trustee to make the FIFO allocation of each
such reimbursement amount with respect to each applicable Mortgage Loan. The
applicable Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advancing
Person or Advance Facility trustee for all P&I Advances and Servicing Advances
funded by such Servicer to the extent the related rights to be reimbursed
therefor have not been sold, assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person.
Any amendment to this Section 11.07 or to any other provision of
this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an
Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 11.07, including
amendments to add provisions relating to a successor servicer, may be entered
into by the Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the
Responsible Parties, the Custodians and the Servicers without the consent of any
Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
upon receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment has no
material adverse effect on the Certificateholders or written confirmation from
the Rating Agencies that such amendment will not adversely affect the ratings on
the Certificates. Prior to entering into an Advance Facility, the applicable
Servicer shall notify the lender under such facility in writing that: (a) the
Advances financed by and/or pledged to the lender are obligations owed to such
Servicer on a non-recourse basis payable only from the cash flows and proceeds
received under this Agreement for reimbursement of Advances only to the extent
provided herein, and none of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the
Trust are otherwise obligated or liable to repay any Advances financed by the
lender; (b) such Servicer will be responsible for remitting to the lender the
applicable amounts collected by it as reimbursement for Advances funded by the
lender, subject to the restrictions and priorities created in this Agreement;
and (c) neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall have any
responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the financing
arrangement between the applicable Servicer and the lender.
Section 11.08 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death
or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or the Trust created hereby, nor entitle such Certificateholder's
legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or winding up of the Trust
created hereby, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of
the parties hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management
of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything
herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so
as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members
of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any
third-party by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement
pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing
itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement,
unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice
of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided, and
unless the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting
Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written request to the
Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee
hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it
may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein
or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute any
such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being
expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or
themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek
to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any
right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the
common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of
the provisions of this Section 11.08, each and every Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.
Section 11.09 Inspection and Audit Rights. Each Servicer agrees
that, on 5 Business Days prior notice, it will permit any representative of the
Depositor or the Trustee during such Person's normal business hours, to examine
all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of such Person
relating to the Mortgage Loans, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause
such books to be audited by independent certified public accountants selected by
the Depositor or the Trustee and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts
relating to the Mortgage Loans with its officers, employees and independent
public accountants (and by this provision each Servicer hereby authorizes said
accountants to discuss with such representative such affairs, finances and
accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably
requested. Any out-of-pocket expense of a Servicer incident to the exercise by
the Depositor or the Trustee of any right under this Section 11.09 shall be
borne by such Servicer.
Section 11.10 Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid. It is the
intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall not be personally
liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests in the Trust Fund
represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any reason
whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof by the
Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall be deemed
fully paid.
Section 11.11 Rule of Construction. Article and section headings are
for the convenience of the reader and shall not be considered in interpreting
this Agreement or the intent of the parties hereto.
Section 11.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY, WAIVES (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW) ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE TRIED
BEFORE A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
Section 11.13 Opinions of Internal Counsel of WMC. WMC acknowledges
and agrees that, in connection with any legal opinions delivered by any internal
counsel of WMC in connection with the execution, delivery and/or performance by
WMC of this Agreement (including any opinions rendered on the Closing Date), WMC
shall be liable to the addressees thereon for any and all claims or demands
arising out of or based upon any such legal opinion.
Section 11.14 Rights of the Swap Provider. The Swap Provider shall
be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent as if
it were a party hereto and shall have the right to enforce its rights under this
Agreement.
Section 11.15 Regulation AB Compliance; Intent of the Parties;
Reasonableness. The parties hereto acknowledge 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
agree to comply with all reasonable requests made by the Depositor in good faith
for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving
interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with the Trust, each Servicer,
the Securities Administrator and each Custodian shall cooperate fully with the
Depositor to deliver to the Depositor (including its assignees or designees),
any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other
information available to such party and reasonably necessary in the good faith
determination of the Depositor to permit the Depositor to comply with the
provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to each
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and each Custodian, as applicable,

established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which
remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable.
The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly
received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor,
directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the
Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage
Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is
earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the related Due Date of
the first installment of principal and interest;
(d) Original Terms Unmodified. As of the related Servicing Transfer
Date, the terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired,
waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination
except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to
protect the interests of the Purchaser, and which has been delivered to
the Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in
writing, and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan

rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation

render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or

has been asserted with respect thereto, subject to bankruptcy, equitable
principles and laws affecting creditor rights;
(f) Hazard Insurance. As of the related Servicing Transfer Date,

upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable in
accordance with Seller's Underwriting Guidelines against loss by fire,
hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in

and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by
state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to
choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy
is not a "master" or "blanket" hazard insurance policy covering a
condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities
of a planned unit development. As of the related Servicing Transfer Date,
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 Trustee upon the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller has not engaged
in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor's having engaged in, any act or
omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits
of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect
of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission,
kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or
will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other
person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained

limitation, any provisions relating to prepayment penalties, have been
complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and the
Seller shall maintain in its possession, available for the Purchaser's or
the Trustee's inspection, and shall deliver to the Purchaser or the
Trustee upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements to
the extent compliance therewith can be demonstrated and if required by

Adverse Representation;

Transfer Date, the Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated
or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been
released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any
instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation,
subordination or rescission. The Seller has not waived the performance by
the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor's failure to perform such
action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Seller
waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;
(i) Type of Mortgaged Property. 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, that consists of one or more separate and
complete tax parcels of real property improved by a Residential Dwelling;
provided, however, that any condominium unit or planned unit development
(other than a de minimis planned unit development) shall conform with the
Underwriting Guidelines. In the case of any Mortgaged Properties that are
Manufactured Homes (a "Manufactured Home Mortgage Loans"), (i) the related
manufactured dwelling is permanently affixed to the land, (ii) the related
manufactured dwelling and the related land are subject to a Mortgage
properly filed in the appropriate public recording office and naming
Seller as mortgagee, (iii) the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in
which the related Mortgaged Property is located will deem the manufactured
dwelling located on such Mortgaged Property to be a part of the real
property on which such dwelling is located, (iv) as of the origination
date of such Manufactured Home Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgagor
occupied the related Manufactured Home as its primary residence, and (v)
such Manufactured Home Mortgage Loan is (x) a qualified mortgage under
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and
(y) secured by manufactured housing treated as a single family residence
under Section 25(e)(10) of the Code. No portion of the Mortgaged Property
is used for commercial purposes, and since the date of origination, no
portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial purposes;
provided, that Mortgaged Properties which contain a home office shall not
be considered as being used for commercial purposes as long as the
Mortgaged Property has not been altered for commercial purposes and is not
storing any chemicals or raw materials other than those commonly used for
homeowner repair, maintenance and/or household purposes. None of the
Mortgaged Properties are log homes, mobile homes, geodesic domes or other
unique property types. Clause (iv) above is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(j) Valid First or Second Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting
and enforceable first lien (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second
lien (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) on the Mortgaged Property,
including all buildings and improvements on the Mortgaged Property and all
installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air
conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all
additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to
the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to (collectively,
the "Permitted Exceptions"):
(A) with respect to a Second Lien Loan only, the lien of the
first mortgage on the Mortgaged Property;
(B) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments
not yet due and payable;
(C) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of
recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions
generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan
and which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the
Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and
(D) other matters to which like properties are commonly
subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use,
enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.
Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related
to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and
creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and 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 and the Seller has full right to sell and
assign the same to the Purchaser subject to the Permitted Exceptions;
(k) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor in
connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with
its terms (including, without limitation, any provisions therein relating
to prepayment penalties), subject to bankruptcy, equitable principles and
laws affecting creditor rights. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter
into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and
any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by
other such related parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation,
negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken
place on the part of the Seller in connection with the origination of the
Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such
Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but without limiting the
other representations and warranties set forth elsewhere in this
Agreement, if any error, omission or negligence in the origination of such
Mortgage Loan occurred despite Seller's conformance with its Underwriting
Guidelines (as in effect at the time such Mortgage Loan was made), then
there shall be a presumptive conclusion that there was no error, omission
or negligence. No fraud, misrepresentation, or similar occurrence or, to
Seller's knowledge, error, omission, or negligence with respect to a
Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person (other than
Seller), including without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any
builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of
the Mortgage Loan or in the application for any insurance in relation to
such Mortgage Loan. The Seller has reviewed all of the documents
constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it deems
necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set
forth herein;
(l) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan has been closed
and the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there
is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all
requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and
as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with.
All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage
Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not
entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note
or Mortgage;
(m) Ownership. Immediately prior to the transfer contemplated by the
WMC Purchase Agreement, the Seller was the sole owner of record and holder
of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note
and upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Sponsor, the Seller
retained the Mortgage Files or any part thereof with respect thereto not
delivered to the Custodian, the Purchaser or the Purchaser's designee, in
trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of
each Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan was not assigned or pledged, and the
Seller had good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full
right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and
clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge,
charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority
subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other
party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement
and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such
Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation
interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest;
(n) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the
Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are
(or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest,
were) (1) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements
of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located to the
extent required to ensure enforceability of the Mortgage Loan, and (2)
either (i) organized under the laws of such state, or (ii) qualified to do
business in such state, or (iii) a federal savings and loan association, a
savings bank or a national bank having a principal office in such state,
or (3) not doing business in such state;
(o) LTV. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV or a CLTV greater than 100%;
(p) Title Insurance. As of the related Servicing Transfer Date, the
Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy, or
with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which the related Mortgaged Property
is located in California a CLTA lender's title insurance policy, or other
generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable pursuant to
Seller's Underwriting Guidelines and each such title insurance policy is
issued by a title insurer acceptable to prudent lenders in the secondary
mortgage market and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the
Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the originator, its successors and
assigns, as to the first (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second
(with respect to a Second Lien Loan) priority lien of the Mortgage in the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (or to the extent a
Mortgage Note provides for negative amortization, the maximum amount of
negative amortization in accordance with the Mortgage), subject only to
the Permitted Exceptions, and in the case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of
the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for
adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where
required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the
opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title
insurance. Additionally, such lender's title insurance policy
affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or
upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller (or its
predecessor in interest), its successors and assigns, are the sole
insureds of such lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's title
insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be
in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. As of the related Servicing Transfer Date, no claims
have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior
holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or
omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title
insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee,
commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind
has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm
or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received,
retained or realized by the Seller;
(q) No Defaults. As of the related Servicing Transfer Date, there is
no default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration
existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with
the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure
period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which would
permit acceleration, and neither the Seller nor any of its affiliates nor
any of their respective predecessors, have waived any default, breach,
violation or event which would permit acceleration;
(r) No Mechanics' Liens. As of the related Servicing Transfer Date,
there are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed
for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under 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;
(s) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements
which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged
Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines
of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties
encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being
part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning
law or regulation;
(t) Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by
a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings
and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union,
insurance company or other similar institution which is supervised and
examined by a federal or state authority, except with respect to a
Mortgage Loan purchased from a correspondent as indicated on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule. Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more
than seventy days after funds were disbursed in connection with the
Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Interest Rate as well as, in the case of an
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Lifetime Rate Cap and the Periodic Cap
are as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. Unless specified
on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only loan or a
Balloon Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable in equal monthly
installments of principal and interest, which installments of interest,
with respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, are subject to change due
to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate
Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears,
sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity
date, over an original term of not more than thirty years from
commencement of amortization (or forty years for Mortgage Loans identified
on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as a Balloon Mortgage Loan with a forty year
amortization period). Unless otherwise specified on the related Mortgage
Loan Schedule, the Mortgage Loan is payable on the first day of each month
and the Mortgage Loan does not require a balloon payment on its stated
maturity date;
(u) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage contains customary and
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the
holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property
of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the
case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and
(ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a
Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee's sale of, the Mortgaged
Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage
Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged
Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a
Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged
Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage,
subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with
respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption or similar law;
(v) Conformance with Agency and Underwriting Guidelines. The
Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting
Guidelines, as may be amended from time to time by the Seller (a copy of
which is attached to each related Assignment and Conveyance Agreement).
The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to prudent mortgage
lenders in the secondary mortgage market and no representations have been
made to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the mortgage instruments
used;
(w) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the related Closing
Date the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law. As
of the related Servicing Transfer 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 authorities. Unless otherwise specified on the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgagor represented at the time of
origination of the Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor would occupy the
Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor's primary residence;
(x) No Additional Collateral. As of the related Servicing Transfer
Date, the Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral
except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of
any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in
paragraph (j) above;
(y) Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of
trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to
serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is
named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable
by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in
connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(z) [Reserved].
(aa) Delivery of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents required to
be delivered under this Agreement for each Mortgage Loan have been
delivered to the Custodian. The Seller is in possession of a complete,
true and accurate Mortgage File in compliance with Exhibit A hereto,
except for such documents the originals of which have been delivered to
the Custodian;
(bb) Condominiums/Planned Unit Developments. If the Mortgaged
Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit development (other than a
de minimis planned unit development) such condominium or planned unit
development project such Mortgage Loan was originated in accordance with,
and the Mortgaged Property meets the guidelines set forth in the Seller's
Underwriting Guidelines;
(cc) Transfer of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to MERS
Designated Mortgage Loans, the Assignment of Mortgage with respect to each
Mortgage Loan is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under
the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.
The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the
Mortgages by the Seller are not subject to the bulk transfer or similar
statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction;
(dd) Due-On-Sale. With respect to each Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgage contains an provision for the acceleration of the payment of the
unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the
Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written
consent of the mortgagee thereunder, and to the best of the Seller's
knowledge, such provision is enforceable subject to applicable bankruptcy,
equitable principles and laws affecting creditors' rights;
(ee) Assumability. With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loan, the Mortgage Loan Documents do not allow an assumption of such
Mortgage Loan by any other party;
(ff) No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent
Interests. As of the related Servicing Transfer Date, the Mortgage Loan
does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are paid or
partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by
the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid
by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain any other
similar provisions which may constitute a "buydown" provision. The
Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage
Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest
feature;
(gg) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to
the Mortgagor prior to the applicable Cut-off Date have been consolidated
with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the
secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate
and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the
consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first (with
respect to a First Lien Loan) or second (with respect to a Second Lien
Loan) lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the
policy insuring the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other title
evidence acceptable to prudent mortgage lenders in the secondary market.
The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal
amount of the Mortgage Loan;
(hh) Mortgaged Property Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings. As
of the related Servicing Transfer Date, there is no proceeding pending or,
to Seller's knowledge, threatened for the total or partial condemnation of
the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste,
fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other
casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as
security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were
intended and each Mortgaged Property is in at least the same condition or
better than its condition at the time of its appraisal. Since the time of
its appraisal, there have not been any condemnation proceedings with
respect to the Mortgaged Property;
(ii) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits; Interest Rate
Adjustments. The origination, servicing and collection practices used by
the Seller and the Interim Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan have
been in all respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices,
applicable laws and regulations, and have been in all respects legal and
proper. As of the related Servicing Transfer Date, with respect to escrow
deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of,
or under the control of, the Seller or the Interim Servicer and there
exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary
arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. As of the related
Servicing Transfer Date, all Escrow Payments have been collected in full
compliance with state and federal law and the provisions of the related
Mortgage Note and Mortgage. As of the related Servicing Transfer Date, an
escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been
established in an amount sufficient to pay for every item that remains
unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow
deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Seller
have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. All
Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance
with state and federal law and the terms of the related Mortgage and
Mortgage Note on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date. If, pursuant
to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another index was selected for
determining the Mortgage Interest Rate, the same index was used with
respect to each Mortgage Note which required a new index to be selected,
and such selection did not conflict with the terms of the related Mortgage
Note. As of the related Servicing Transfer Date, the Seller or the Interim
Servicer executed and delivered any and all notices required under
applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage
regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and the Monthly Payment adjustments.
As of the related Servicing Transfer Date, any interest required to be
paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and
credited;

limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or
reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the
loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured), irrespective of the cause

Transfer Date, with respect to each Second Lien Loan, the related First

estate, such lease conforms to the requirements required by Xxxxxx Xxx
pursuant to the Xxxxxx Xxx Guide;
(zz) Prepayment Penalty. Each Mortgage Loan that is subject to a
Prepayment Penalty as provided in the related Mortgage Note is identified
on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. Each such Prepayment Penalty is in
an amount not more than the maximum amount permitted under applicable law
and no such Prepayment Penalty may be imposed for a term in excess of five
(5) years with respect to Mortgage Loans originated prior to October, 1,
2002. With respect to Mortgage Loans originated on or after October 1,
2002, the duration of the Prepayment Penalty period shall not exceed three
(3) years from the date of the Mortgage Note unless the Mortgage Loan was
modified to reduce the Prepayment Penalty period to no more than three (3)
years from the date of the related Mortgage Note and the Mortgagor was
notified in writing of such reduction in Prepayment Penalty period. The
second and third sentences of this representation and warranty are a
Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;

Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable, and no Mortgage Loan originated on or
after October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia

Equity Protection Act of 1994 and no Mortgage Loan is in violation of any
comparable state or local law. This representation and warranty is a
Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(bbb) [Reserved];
(ccc) Qualified Mortgage. The Mortgage Loan is a "qualified
mortgage" under Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code;
(ddd) Tax Service Contract. Each Mortgage Loan is covered by a paid
in full, life of loan, tax service contract issued by Fidelity National
Tax Service, and such contract is transferable;
(eee) Origination. No predatory or deceptive lending practices,
including, without limitation, the extension of credit without regard to
the ability of the Mortgagor to repay and the extension of credit which
has no apparent benefit to the Mortgagor, were employed in the origination
of the Mortgage Loan;
(fff) Recordation. Each original Mortgage was recorded and all
subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage (other than the assignment
to the Purchaser) have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions
wherein such recordation is necessary to perfect the lien thereof as
against creditors of the Seller, or is in the process of being recorded;
(ggg) Mortgagor Bankruptcy. As of the related Servicing Transfer
Date, on or prior to the date 60 days after the related Closing Date, the
Mortgagor has not filed and will not file a bankruptcy petition or has not
become the subject and will not become the subject of involuntary
bankruptcy proceedings or has not consented to or will not consent to the

Mortgage Loan is in compliance with the anti-predatory lending eligibility
for purchase requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx Guides. This representation and
warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(kkk) Mortgagor Selection. No Mortgagor was encouraged or required
to select a Mortgage Loan product offered by the Seller which is a higher
cost product designed for less creditworthy mortgagors, unless at the time
of the Mortgage Loan's origination, such Xxxxxxxxx did not qualify taking
into account credit history and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost
credit product then offered by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller
with which the Seller has a referral relationship or mechanism in place.
If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for
a lower-cost credit product then offered by any mortgage lending Affiliate
of the Seller with which the Seller has a referral relationship or
mechanism in place, the Seller referred the related Mortgagor's
application to such Affiliate for underwriting consideration. This
representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(lll) Underwriting Methodology. The methodology used in underwriting
the extension of credit for each Mortgage Loan employs objective
mathematical principles which relate the related Mortgagor's income,
assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting
methodology does not rely on the extent of the related Mortgagor's equity
in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such
credit extension. Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time
of origination (application/approval) the related Mortgagor had a
reasonable ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan. This
representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(mmm) Mortgage Loans with Prepayment Premiums. With respect to any
Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition of a premium
upon a prepayment prior to maturity: (i) prior to the Mortgage Loan's
origination, the related Mortgagor agreed to such premium in exchange for
a monetary benefit, including but not limited to a rate or fee reduction,
(ii) prior to the Mortgage Loan's origination, the related Mortgagor was
offered the option of obtaining a mortgage loan that did not require
payment of such a premium; provided, that such offer may have been
evidenced by the Seller's rate sheet/pricing grid relating to such
Mortgage Loan, which provided that the Mortgage Loan had a full prepayment
premium buy-out pricing adjustment available, (iii) the prepayment premium
is disclosed to the related Mortgagor in the Mortgage Loan documents
pursuant to applicable state and federal law, and (iv) notwithstanding any
state or federal law to the contrary, the Seller, as servicer, shall not
impose such prepayment premium in any instance when the mortgage debt is
accelerated as the result of the related Mortgagor's default in making the
Mortgage Loan payments. This representation and warranty is a Deemed
Material and Adverse Representation;
(nnn) Purchase of Insurance. No Mortgagor was required to purchase
any single premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage,
disability, property, accident, unemployment or health insurance product)
or debt cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension
of credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single-premium credit insurance
policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability, property, accident,
unemployment, mortgage or health insurance) in connection with the
origination of the Mortgage Loan. No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were
used to purchase single premium credit insurance policies as part of the
origination of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan. This
representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(ooo) Points and Fees. No Mortgagor was charged "points and fees"
(whether or not financed) in an amount greater than (i) $1,000, or (ii) 5%
of the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan, whichever is greater. For
purposes of this representation, such 5% limitation is calculated in
accordance with Fannie Mae's anti-predatory lending requirements as set
forth in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides and "points and fees" (x) include
origination, underwriting, broker and finder fees and charges that the
mortgagee imposed as a condition of making the Mortgage Loan, whether they
are paid to the mortgagee or a third party; and (y) exclude bona fide
discount points, fees paid for actual services rendered in connection with
the origination of the Mortgage Loan (such as attorneys' fees, notaries
fees and fees paid for property appraisals, credit reports, surveys, title
examinations and extracts, flood and tax certifications, and home
inspections), the cost of mortgage insurance or credit-risk price
adjustments, the costs of title, hazard, and flood insurance policies,
state and local transfer taxes or fees, escrow deposits for the future
payment of taxes and insurance premiums, and other miscellaneous fees and
charges that, in total, do not exceed 0.25% of the principal amount of
such Mortgage Loan. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material
and Adverse Representation;
(ppp) Disclosure of Fees and Charges. All fees and charges
(including finance charges), whether or not financed, assessed, collected
or to be collected in connection with the origination and servicing of
each Mortgage Loan, have been disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in
accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation. This
representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(qqq) No Arbitration. No Mortgage Loan originated on or after August
1, 2004 requires the related Mortgagor to submit to arbitration to resolve
any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan
transaction. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and
Adverse Representation; and
(rrr) Principal Residence. With respect to each Second Lien Loan,
the related Mortgaged Property was the Mortgagor's principal residence at
the time of the origination of such Second Lien Loan. This representation
and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation.

specific as the Responsible Party on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, Decision One
hereby makes the following representations and warranties set forth in this
Schedule VIII to the other parties to the Agreement to which this Schedule VIII
is attached as of the Closing Date. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise
defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the
Decision One Purchase Agreement.
(a) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule as prepared by the Sponsor is complete, true and
correct as of the Closing Date;
(b) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the
related Closing Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage
Note, other than payments not yet 30 days delinquent, have been made and
credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is 30 days or more
delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been 30 days or
more delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan.
The first Monthly Payment shall be made with respect to the Mortgage Loan
on its related Due Date or within the grace period, all in accordance with
the terms of the related Mortgage Note;
(c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with
the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments,
insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments
or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or
an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for
every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is
not yet due and payable. The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced,
solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than
the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount
required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the
date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan
proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the
related Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest;
(d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and
Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any
respect, from the date of origination except by a written instrument which
has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser,
and which has been delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as
the Purchaser shall designate in writing, and the terms of which are
reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The substance of any such
waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer,
if any, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are reflected
on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, if applicable. No Mortgagor has
been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an
assumption agreement, approved by the issuer of the title insurer, to the
extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of
the Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person
as the Purchaser shall designate in writing and the terms of which are
reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation
the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder,
render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or
in part and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense
has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor was a debtor in
any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the
Mortgage Loan was originated;
(f) Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all
buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by
a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended
coverage and such other hazards, if any, as are usually and customarily
insured against by prudent mortgage lenders in the community in which the
related Mortgaged Property is located. If required by the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, each Mortgage Loan is covered by a
flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines
of the Federal Insurance Administration as in effect which policy conforms
to the requirements usually and customarily insured against by prudent
mortgage lenders in the community in which the related Mortgaged Property
is located, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section
2.10 of the Interim Servicing Agreement. 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 the hazard
insurance policy at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the
Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to
obtain and maintain such insurance at such Xxxxxxxxx's cost and expense,
and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by
state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to
choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy
is not a "master" or "blanket" hazard insurance policy covering a
condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities
of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid
and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and
will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser
upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
The Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor's
having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of
any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or
the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation,
no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or
value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by
any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items
have been received, retained or realized by the Seller;
(g) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any
federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury,
truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit
protection, equal credit opportunity, disclosure and all predatory and
abusive lending laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan, including, without
limitation, any provisions relating to Prepayment Penalties, have been
complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and the
Seller shall maintain in its possession, available for the Purchaser's
inspection, and shall deliver to the Purchaser upon demand, evidence of
compliance with all such requirements. This representation and warranty is
a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(h) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been
satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and
the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the
Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that
would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission.
The Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action,
if the Mortgagor's failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage
Loan to be in default, nor has the Seller waived any default resulting
from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;
(i) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property
is a fee simple property located in the state identified in the Mortgage
Loan 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 an individual unit in a planned unit development and that no
residence or dwelling is a mobile home, provided, however, that any
condominium unit or planned unit development shall not fall within any of
the "Ineligible Projects" of part VIII, Section 102 of the Xxxxxx Xxx
Selling Guide and shall conform with the Underwriting Guidelines. In the
case of any Mortgaged Properties that are Manufactured Homes (a
"Manufactured Home Mortgage Loans"), (i) the related manufactured dwelling
is permanently affixed to the land, (ii) the related manufactured dwelling
and the related land are subject to a Mortgage properly filed in the
appropriate public recording office and naming Seller as mortgagee, (iii)
the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged
Property is located will deem the manufactured dwelling located on such
Mortgaged Property to be a part of the real property on which such
dwelling is located, (iv) as of the origination date of such Manufactured
Home Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgagor occupied the related
manufactured dwelling as its primary residence; and (v) such Manufactured
Home Mortgage Loan is (x) a qualified mortgage under Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and (y) secured by
manufactured housing treated as a single family residence under Section
25(e)(10) of the Code. As of the date of origination, no portion of the
Mortgaged Property was used for commercial purposes, and since the date of
origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for
commercial purposes; provided, that Mortgaged Properties which contain a
home office shall not be considered as being used for commercial purposes
as long as the Mortgaged Property has not been altered for commercial
purposes and is not storing any chemicals or raw materials other than
those commonly used for homeowner repair, maintenance and/or household
purposes. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and
Adverse Representation;
(j) Valid First or Second Lien. The Mortgage is 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) on the Mortgaged
Property, including all buildings and improvements on the Mortgaged
Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing,
heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such
buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any
time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject
only to:
(A) with respect to a Second Lien Loan only, the lien of the
first mortgage on the Mortgaged Property;
(B) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments
not yet due and payable;
(C) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of
recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions
generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan
and (A) specifically referred to or otherwise considered in the
appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (B) which
do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged
Property set forth in such appraisal; and
(D) other matters to which like properties are commonly
subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use,
enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.
Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to
and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates
a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien (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 and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the
same to the Purchaser;
(k) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor in
connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with
its terms (including, without limitation, any provisions therein relating
to Prepayment Penalties). All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage
and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the
Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage
and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other
such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by other such
related parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence
or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on
the part of any Person, including without limitation, the Mortgagor, any
appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the
origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application for any insurance
in relation to such Mortgage Loan. The Seller has reviewed all of the
documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as
it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations
set forth herein;
(l) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan has been closed
and the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there
is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all
requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and
as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with.
All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage
Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not
entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note
or Mortgage;
(m) Ownership. The Seller is the sole owner of record and holder of
the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note and
upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the Seller will
retain the Mortgage Files or any part thereof with respect thereto not
delivered to the Custodian, the Purchaser or the Purchaser's designee, in
trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of
each Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and the
Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full
right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and
clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge,
charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority
subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other
party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement
and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such
Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation
interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. The Seller
intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the
Mortgage Loan. After the related Closing Date, the Seller will have no
right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loan and
the Seller will have no obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage
Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this
Agreement;
(n) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the
Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are
(or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest,
were) (1) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements
of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and
(2) either (i) organized under the laws of such state, or (ii) qualified
to do business in such state, or (iii) a federal savings and loan
association, a savings bank or a national bank having a principal office
in such state, or (3) not doing business in such state;
(o) LTV. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than 100%.
(p) Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA
lender's title insurance policy, or with respect to any Mortgage Loan for
which the related Mortgaged Property is located in California a CLTA
lender's title insurance policy, or other generally acceptable form of
policy or insurance acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac and each such
title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx
Xxx or Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where
the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Seller, its successors and
assigns, as to the first (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second
(with respect to a Second Lien Loan) priority lien of the Mortgage in the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, subject only to the
exceptions contained in clauses (A), (B) and (C) of paragraph (j) of this
Subsection 9.02, and in the case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans,
against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the
lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for
adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where
required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the
opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title
insurance. Additionally, such lender's title insurance policy
affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or
upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller, its
successor and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender's title
insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is valid and
remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims
have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior
holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or
omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title
insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee,
commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind
has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm
or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received,
retained or realized by the Seller;
(q) No Defaults. Other than payments due but not yet 30 days or more
delinquent, there is no default, breach, violation or event which would
permit acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and
no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration
of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation
or event which would permit acceleration, and neither the Seller nor any
of its affiliates nor any of their respective predecessors, have waived
any default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration;
(r) No Mechanics' Liens. There are no mechanics' or similar liens or
claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights
are outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting
the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or
equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage;
(s) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements
which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged
Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines
of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties
encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being
part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning
law or regulation;
(t) Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by
a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings
and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union,
insurance company or other similar institution which is supervised and
examined by a federal or state authority. The documents, instruments and
agreements submitted for loan underwriting were not falsified and contain
no untrue statement of material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the information and statements therein not misleading.
No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would result in
negative amortization. Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced
no more than sixty days after funds were disbursed in connection with the
Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Interest Rate as well as, in the case of an
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Lifetime Rate Cap and the Periodic Cap
are as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Mortgage Note
is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which
installments of interest, with respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans,
are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate
on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and
payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the
stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty years
from commencement of amortization. Unless otherwise specified on the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgage Loan is payable on the first
day of each month. The Mortgage Loan does not require a balloon payment on
its stated maturity date, unless otherwise specified in the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(u) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage contains customary and
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the
holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property
of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the
case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and
(ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a
Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee's sale of, the Mortgaged
Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage
Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged
Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a
Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged
Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage,
subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with
respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption or similar law;
(v) Conformance with Agency and Underwriting Guidelines. The
Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting
Guidelines (a copy of which is attached to each related Assignment and
Conveyance Agreement). The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms
acceptable to Freddie Mac or Xxxxxx Xxx and the Seller has not made any
representations to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the mortgage
instruments used;
(w) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the related Closing
Date the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law. All
inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with
respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with
respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to
certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been
made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. Unless otherwise
specified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgagor represented
at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor would
occupy the Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor's primary residence;
(x) No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not
been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding
Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or
chattel mortgage referred to in paragraph (j) above;
(y) Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of
trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to
serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is
named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable
by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in
connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(z) [Reserved];
(aa) Delivery of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents required to
be delivered under the Custodial Agreement for each Mortgage Loan have
been delivered to the Custodian. The Seller is in possession of a
complete, true and accurate Mortgage File in compliance with Exhibit A
hereto, except for such documents the originals of which have been
delivered to the Custodian;
(bb) Condominiums/Planned Unit Developments. If the Mortgaged
Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit development (other than a
de minimis planned unit development) such condominium or planned unit
development project such Mortgage Loan was originated in accordance with,
and the Mortgaged Property meets the guidelines set forth in the
Underwriting Guidelines;
(cc) Transfer of Mortgage Loans. The Assignment of Mortgage (except
with respect to any Mortgage that has been recorded in the name of MERS or
its designee) with respect to each Mortgage Loan is in recordable form and
is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which
the Mortgaged Property is located. The transfer, assignment and conveyance
of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Seller are not subject to
the bulk transfer or similar statutory provisions in effect in any
applicable jurisdiction;
(dd) Due-On-Sale. With respect to each Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the
payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event
that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior
written consent of the mortgagee thereunder, and to the best of the
Seller's knowledge, such provision is enforceable;
(ee) Assumability. With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loan, the Mortgage Loan Documents provide that after the related first
Interest Rate Adjustment Date, a related Mortgage Loan may only be assumed
if the party assuming such Mortgage Loan meets certain credit
requirements, if any, stated in the Mortgage Loan Documents;
(ff) No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent
Interests. The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which
Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any
separate account established by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on
behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor
nor does it contain any other similar provisions which may constitute a
"buydown" provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage
loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other
contingent interest feature;
(gg) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to
the Mortgagor prior to the related Cut-off Date have been consolidated
with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the
secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate
and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the
consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first (with
respect to a First Lien Loan) or second (with respect to a Second Lien
Loan) lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the
policy insuring the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other title
evidence acceptable under the Underwriting Guidelines. The consolidated
principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the
Mortgage Loan;
(hh) Mortgaged Property Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings.
There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial
condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is
undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood,
tornado or other casualty so 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 each Mortgaged Property is in good repair.
There have not been any condemnation proceedings with respect to the
Mortgaged Property and the Seller has no knowledge of any such proceedings
in the future;
(ii) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits; Interest Rate
Adjustments. The origination, servicing and collection practices used by
the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in all respects in
compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws and
regulations, and have been in all respects legal and proper. With respect
to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the
possession of, or under the control of, the Seller and there exist no
deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for
repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been
collected in full compliance with state and federal law and the provisions
of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. An escrow of funds is not
prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount
sufficient to pay for every item that remains unpaid and has been assessed
but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or
other charges or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under the
Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. All Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have
been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of
the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note on the related Interest Rate
Adjustment Date. If, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another
index was selected for determining the Mortgage Interest Rate, the same
index was used with respect to each Mortgage Note which required a new
index to be selected, and such selection did not conflict with the terms
of the related Mortgage Note. The Seller executed and delivered any and
all notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and the
Monthly Payment adjustments. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to
state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited;
(jj) Conversion to Fixed Interest Rate. With respect to Adjustable
Rate Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Loan is not a Convertible Mortgage
Loan;;
(kk) Other Insurance Policies; No Defense to Coverage. No action,
inaction or event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed
on or prior to the related Closing Date that has resulted or will result
in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any
applicable hazard insurance policy or bankruptcy bond (including, without
limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or
reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the
loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured), irrespective of the cause
of such failure of coverage. In connection with the placement of any such
insurance, no commission, fee, or other compensation has been or will be
received by the Seller or by any officer, director, or employee of the
Seller or any designee of the Seller or any corporation in which the
Seller or any officer, director, or employee had a financial interest at
the time of placement of such insurance;
(ll) No Violation of Environmental Laws. There is no pending action
or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which
compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue;

notified the Seller, and the Seller has no knowledge of any relief
requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Relief Act or other
similar state statute;

related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the approval of the Mortgage
Loan application by a Qualified Appraiser, accepted by the Seller, who had
no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan
made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by
the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and
appraiser both satisfied the requirements of Title XI of the Financial
Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the
regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the
Mortgage Loan was originated;
(oo) Disclosure Materials. The Mortgagor has executed a statement to

circumstances existing that could reasonably be expected to adversely
affect the value or the marketability of any Mortgaged Property (except as

cause the Mortgage Loans to prepay during any period materially faster or
slower than similar mortgage loans held by the Seller generally secured by
properties in the same geographic area as the related Mortgaged Property;
(rr) No Defense to Insurance Coverage. No action has been taken or
failed to be taken, no event has occurred and no state of facts exists or
has existed on or prior to the related Closing Date (whether or not known
to the Seller on or prior to such date) which has resulted or will result
in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any primary
mortgage insurance (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials
or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely
payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the
insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors,
omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Seller, the related Mortgagor or
any party involved in the application for such coverage, including the
appraisal, plans and specifications and other exhibits or documents
submitted therewith to the insurer under such insurance policy, or for any
other reason under such coverage, but not including the failure of such
insurer to pay by reason of such insurer's breach of such insurance policy
or such insurer's financial inability to pay;
(ss) [Reserved];
(tt) Escrow Analysis. If applicable, with respect to each Mortgage,
the Seller has within the last twelve months (unless such Mortgage was
originated within such twelve month period) analyzed the required Escrow
Payments for each Mortgage and adjusted the amount of such payments so

material respects in strict compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices;

right and authority and is not precluded by law or contract from
furnishing such information to the Purchaser and the Purchaser is not
precluded from furnishing the same to any subsequent or good faith
legitimate prospective purchaser of such Mortgage. The Seller shall hold
the Purchaser harmless from any and all damages, losses, costs and

Servicing Rights thereto;

residential lease, (1) the lessor under the lease holds a fee simple

prepayment penalty as provided in the related Mortgage Note is identified
on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. With respect to each Mortgage Loan
that has a Prepayment Penalty feature, each such Prepayment Penalty is

state and local law. Each such Prepayment Penalty is in an amount not more
than the maximum amount permitted under applicable law and no such
Prepayment Penalty may be imposed for a term in excess of five (5) years
with respect to Mortgage Loans originated prior to October, 1, 2002. With
respect to Mortgage Loans originated on or after October 1, 2002, the

Fair Lending Act. No Mortgage Loan is covered by the Home Ownership and
Equity Protection Act of 1994 and no Mortgage Loan is in violation of any
comparable state or local law. This representation and warranty is a
Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(zz) [Reserved];
(aaa) Qualified Mortgage. The Mortgage Loan is a "qualified
mortgage" under Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code;
(bbb) Tax Service Contract. Each Mortgage Loan is covered by a paid
in full, life of loan, tax service contract issued by Fidelity National
Tax Service, and such contract is transferable;
(ccc) Origination. No predatory or deceptive lending practices,
including, without limitation, the extension of credit without regard to
the ability of the Mortgagor to repay and the extension of credit which

qualify taking into account credit history and debt-to-income ratios for a
lower-cost credit product then offered by the Originator or any Affiliate
of the Originator. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material
and Adverse Representation;
(iii) Underwriting Methodology. The methodology used in underwriting
the extension of credit for each Mortgage Loan employs objective
mathematical principles which relate the related Mortgagor's income,
assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting
methodology does not rely on the extent of the related Mortgagor's equity
in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such
credit extension. Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time
of origination (application/approval) the related Mortgagor had a
reasonable ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan. This
representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(jjj) Mortgage Loans with Prepayment Premiums. With respect to any

Material and Adverse Representation;
(kkk) Purchase of Insurance. No Mortgagor was required to purchase
any single premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage,

or debt cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension
of credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single-premium credit insurance
policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability, property, accident,
unemployment, mortgage or health insurance) in connection with the
origination of the Mortgage Loan. No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were
used to purchase single premium credit insurance policies as part of the
origination of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan. This
representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(lll) Points and Fees. All points and fees related to each Mortgage
Loan were disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with
applicable state and federal law and regulation. This representation and
warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;

(including finance charges), whether or not financed, assessed, collected
or to be collected in connection with the origination and servicing of
each Mortgage Loan, have been disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in
accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation. This
representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;

any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan
transaction. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and

of the existence of the Second Lien Loan and requested notification of any
action to be taken against the Mortgagor by the senior lienholder. Either
(a) no consent for the Second Lien Loan is required by the holder of the
related first lien or (b) such consent has been obtained and is contained
in the Mortgage File. This representation and warranty is a Deemed
Material and Adverse Representation;
(ppp) No Default Under First Lien. With respect to each Second Lien
Loan, the related First Lien Loan related thereto is in full force and
effect, and there is no default, breach, violation or event which would
permit acceleration existing under such first Mortgage or Mortgage Note,
and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the
expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default,
breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration thereunder.
This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(qqq) Right to Cure First Lien. With respect to each Second Lien
Loan, the related first lien Mortgage contains a provision which provides
for giving notice of default or breach to the mortgagee under the Mortgage
Loan and allows such mortgagee to cure any default under the related first

Adverse Representation;

payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders
for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as
expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made
on the 25th day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the

Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest

shall be the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month of such
Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or

provided in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate
shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of
this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register of the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this
Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices designated by the
Securities Administrator for such purposes, accompanied by a written instrument

denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust
Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.
The Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and any
agent of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee may treat

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Custodian has made no

Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Capital I Inc. Trust, Series 2006-HE2,
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2006-HE2
STATE OF )
) ss.:
COUNTY OF )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as
follows:
(1) The undersigned is an officer of ___________________, the
proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate (the
"Certificate") issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the
"Agreement"), relating to the above-referenced Series, by and among Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx Capital I Inc., as Depositor, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as
Securities Administrator, a Servicer and a Custodian, JPMorgan Chase Bank,
National Association, as a Servicer, HomEq Servicing Corporation, as a Servicer,
WMC Mortgage Corp., as a Responsible Party, Decision One Mortgage Company, LLC,
as a Responsible Party, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee (the
"Trustee"), and LaSalle Bank National Association, as a Custodian (the
"Custodian"). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized
the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee for the
benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee.
(2) The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the
date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Certificate for its own account. The Transferee has no
knowledge that any such affidavit is false.
(3) The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a
tax will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are
Non-Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or,
if such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) for a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and
(iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for
the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that
such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of
Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
(4) The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax
will be imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any
time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is a
Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The
Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with
respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an
affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through
entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this
purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real
estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate,
and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
(5) The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of
the Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an
Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the
restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the
Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and
to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands
and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall
render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
(6) The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any
Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is a Non-Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Securities Administrator a certificate
substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit H to the Agreement (a "Transferor
Certificate") to the effect that, among other things, such Transferee has no
actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is a
Non-Permitted Transferee.
(7) The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the
assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to
the Certificate. The Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have
come due and intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future. The
Transferee intends to pay all taxes due with respect to the Certificate as they
become due.
(8) The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is __________.
(9) The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section
7701(a)(30).
(10) The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a
"noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of proposed Treasury
regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a
noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect
to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the
transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
(11) The Transferee will not cause income from the Residual
Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed
base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee
or any other U.S. Person.
(12) Check the applicable paragraph:
/ / The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities
associated with holding the Certificate, as applicable,
does not exceed the sum of:
(i) the present value of any consideration given to the
Transferee to acquire such Certificate;
(ii) the present value of the expected future distributions
on such Certificate; and
(iii) the present value of the anticipated tax savings
associated with holding such Certificate as the related
REMIC generates losses.
For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to
pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code
(but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the
highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been
subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the
preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable
year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are
computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed
by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding
period used by the Transferee.
/ / The transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S.
Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6)
and, accordingly,
(i) the Transferee is an "eligible corporation," as defined
in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i),
as to which income from the Certificate will only be
taxed in the United States;
(ii) at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the
Transferee's two fiscal years preceding the year of the
transfer, the Transferee had gross assets for financial
reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person
related to the Transferee within the meaning of U.S.
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in
excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10
million;
(iii) the Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to
another "eligible corporation," as defined in U.S.
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a
transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections
1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section
1.860E-1(c)(5) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations; and
(iv) the Transferee determined the consideration paid to it
to acquire the Certificate based on reasonable market
assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing
and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions,
expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and
other factors specific to the Transferee) that it has
determined in good faith.
/ / None of the above.
(13) The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I
of ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject
to any Federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Title I of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting on behalf of
or investing plan assets of such a plan.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument

validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
incorporation or formation and has all licenses necessary to carry on its
business as now being conducted and is licensed, qualified and in good standing
in the states where the Mortgaged Property is located if the laws of such state
require licensing or qualification in order to conduct business of the type
conducted by the Seller. The Seller has corporate power and authority to execute
and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement (including all instruments
of transfer to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement) by the Seller and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly
authorized; this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered and constitutes
the valid, legal, binding and enforceable obligation of the Seller, except as
enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation,
receivership, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of the rights of creditors and (ii) general principles of equity,
whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law. All requisite
corporate action has been taken by the Seller to make this Agreement valid and
binding upon the Seller in accordance with its terms;
(b) No Consent Required. No consent, approval, authorization or
order is required for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from any
court, governmental agency or body, or federal or state regulatory authority
having jurisdiction over the Seller is required or, if required, such consent,
approval, authorization or order has been or will, prior to the related Closing
Date, be obtained;
(c) Ordinary Course of Business. The consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the ordinary course of
business of the Seller, and the transfer, assignment and conveyance of the
Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement are
not subject to the bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions in effect
in any applicable jurisdiction;
(d) No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the acquisition or origination of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller,
the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, nor the fulfillment of or compliance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, will conflict with or result in a breach
of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Seller's charter, by-laws
or other organizational documents or any legal restriction or any agreement or
instrument to which the Seller is now a party or by which it is bound, or
constitute a default or result in an acceleration under any of the foregoing, or
result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree
to which the Seller or its property is subject, or result in the creation or
imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance that would have an adverse effect
upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any mortgage, contract, deed
of trust or other instrument, or impair the ability of the Purchaser to realize
on the Mortgage Loans, impair the value of the Mortgage Loans, or impair the
ability of the Purchaser to realize the full amount of any insurance benefits
accruing pursuant to this Agreement;
(e) No Litigation Pending. There is no action, suit, proceeding or
investigation pending or, to Seller's knowledge, threatened against the Seller,
before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal asserting the
invalidity of this Agreement, seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or which, either in any one instance
or in the aggregate, would likely result in any material adverse change in the
business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Seller,
or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Seller to carry on
its business substantially as now conducted, or in any material liability on the
part of the Seller, or which would draw into question the validity of this
Agreement or the Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in
connection with the obligations of the Seller contemplated herein, or which
would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Seller to perform under
the terms of this Agreement;
(f) Ability to Perform; Solvency. The Seller does not believe, nor
does it have any reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and
every covenant contained in this Agreement. The Seller is solvent and the sale
of the Mortgage Loans will not cause the Seller to become insolvent. The sale of
the Mortgage Loans is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud
any of Seller's creditors;
(g) Seller's Origination. The Seller's decision to originate any
mortgage loan or to deny any mortgage loan application is an independent
decision based upon the Underwriting Guidelines, and is in no way made as a
result of Purchaser's decision to purchase, or not to purchase, or the price
Purchaser may offer to pay for, any such mortgage loan, if originated;
(h) Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Seller has complied with all
applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without
limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (collectively, the "Anti-Money Laundering
Laws"); the Seller has established an anti-money laundering compliance program
to the extent required by the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, has conducted due
diligence in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan to the extent
required by and for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, including with
respect to the legitimacy of the applicable Mortgagor and the origin of the
assets used by the said Mortgagor to purchase the property in question, and
maintains, and will maintain, sufficient information to identify the applicable
Mortgagor for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws;
(i) Financial Statements. The Seller has delivered to the Purchaser
financial statements as to its last three complete fiscal years and any later
quarter ended more than 60 days prior to the execution of this Agreement. All
such financial statements fairly present the pertinent results of operations and
changes in financial position for each of such periods and the financial
position at the end of each such period of the Seller and its subsidiaries and
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
of the United States consistently applied throughout the periods involved,
except as set forth in the notes thereto. In addition, the Seller has delivered
information as to its loan gain and loss experience in respect of foreclosures
and its loan delinquency experience for the immediately preceding three-year
period, in each case with respect to mortgage loans owned by it and such
mortgage loans serviced for others during such period, and all such information
so delivered shall be true and correct in all material respects. There has been
no change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets
of the Seller since the date of the Seller's financial statements that would
have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under
this Agreement. The Seller has completed any forms requested by the Purchaser in
a timely manner and in accordance with the provided instructions;;
(j) Selection Process. The Mortgage Loans were selected from among
the one- to four-family mortgage loans in the Seller's portfolio at the related
Closing Date as to which the representations and warranties set forth in
Subsection 9.02 could be made and such selection was not made in a manner so as
to affect adversely the interests of the Purchaser;
(k) Delivery to the Custodian. The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the
Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents required to be delivered with
respect to each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered to

(m) [Reserved];
(n) No Brokers. The Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment
banker, agent or other person that may be entitled to any commission or
compensation in connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans;
(o) [Reserved];
(p) Owner of Record. The Seller is the owner of record of each
Mortgage and the indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note, except for the
Assignments of Mortgage which have been sent for recording, and upon recordation
the Seller will be the owner of record of each Mortgage and the indebtedness
evidenced by each Mortgage Note, and upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the
Purchaser, the Seller will retain the Mortgage Files with respect thereto in
trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of each
Mortgage Loan;
(q) Reasonable Purchase Price. The consideration received by the
Seller upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement constitutes fair
consideration and reasonably equivalent value for the Mortgage Loans; and
(r) Credit Reporting. The Seller, as servicer, will fully furnish
(or cause to be furnished), in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and
its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable
and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans
Union Credit Information Company (three of the credit repositories), on a
monthly basis. Additionally, the Seller, as servicer, will transmit (or cause to
be transmitted) full-file credit reporting data for each Mortgage Loan pursuant
to Xxxxxx Xxx Guide Announcement 95-19 and that for each Mortgage Loan, the
Seller, as servicer, agrees it shall report (or cause to be reported) one of the
following statuses each month as follows: new origination, current, delinquent
(30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.), foreclosed, or charged-off.
Subsection 9.02 Representations and Warranties Regarding Individual
Mortgage Loans.
The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that, as
to each Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date for such Mortgage Loan:
(a) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct;
(b) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the
related Closing Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note,
other than payments not yet 30 days delinquent, have been made and credited. No
payment required under the Mortgage Loan is 30 days or more delinquent nor has
any payment under the Mortgage Loan been 30 days or more delinquent, exclusive
of any period of grace, at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan.
The first Monthly Payment shall be made with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its
related Due Date or within the grace period, all in accordance with the terms of
the related Mortgage Note;
(c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with
the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance
premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents
which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has
been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which
remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. The
Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any
advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly,
for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for
interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of
the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by
one month the related Due Date of the first installment of principal and
interest;
(d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and
Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect,
from the date of origination except by a written instrument which has been
recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser, and which has
been delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall
designate in writing, and the terms of which are reflected in the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or
modification has been approved by the title insurer, if any, to the extent
required by the policy, and its terms are reflected on the related Mortgage Loan
Schedule, if applicable. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part,
except in connection with an assumption agreement, approved by the issuer of the
title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption
agreement is part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Custodian or to
such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing and the terms of
which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the
defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage
Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with
respect thereto, subject to bankruptcy, equitable principles and laws affecting
creditor rights;
(f) Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all
buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an
insurer acceptable in accordance with Seller's Underwriting Guidelines against
loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are
customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is situated as well as all
additional requirements set forth in Section 2.10 of the Interim Servicing
Agreement. If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
each Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration
as in effect which policy conforms to Seller's Underwriting Guidelines as well
as all additional requirements set forth in Section 2.10 of the Interim
Servicing Agreement. All individual insurance policies contain a standard
mortgagee clause naming the originator and its successors and assigns as
mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the
Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor's
cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder
of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Xxxxxxxxx's cost
and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where
required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity
to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is
not a "master" or "blanket" hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or
any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit
development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of
the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect
and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller has not engaged in, and
has no knowledge of the Mortgagor's having engaged in, any act or omission which
would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement
provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including,
without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful
compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or
realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful
items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller;
(g) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any
federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury,
truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection,
equal credit opportunity, disclosure and all predatory and abusive lending laws
applicable to the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, any provisions
relating to prepayment penalties, have been complied with, the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such
laws or regulations, and the Seller shall maintain in its possession, available
for the Purchaser's inspection, and shall deliver to the Purchaser upon demand,
evidence of compliance with all such requirements to the extent compliance
therewith can be demonstrated and if required by applicable law. This
representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(h) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been
satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the
Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole
or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such
release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Seller has not waived
the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor's failure to
perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the
Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the
Mortgagor;
(i) Type of Mortgaged Property. 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,
that consists of one or more separate and complete tax parcels of real property
improved by a Residential Dwelling; provided, however, that any condominium unit
or planned unit development (other than a de minimis planned unit development)
shall conform with the Underwriting Guidelines. In the case of any Mortgaged
Properties that are Manufactured Homes (a "Manufactured Home Mortgage Loans"),
(i) the related manufactured dwelling is permanently affixed to the land, (ii)
the related manufactured dwelling and the related land are subject to a Mortgage
properly filed in the appropriate public recording office and naming Seller as
mortgagee, (iii) the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which the related
Mortgaged Property is located will deem the manufactured dwelling located on
such Mortgaged Property to be a part of the real property on which such dwelling
is located, (iv) as of the origination date of such Manufactured Home Mortgage
Loan, the related Mortgagor occupied the related Manufactured Home as its
primary residence, and (v) such Manufactured Home Mortgage Loan is (x) a
qualified mortgage under Section 860G(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended and (y) secured by manufactured housing treated as a single
family residence under Section 25(e)(10) of the Code. No portion of the
Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes, and since the date of
origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial
purposes; provided, that Mortgaged Properties which contain a home office shall
not be considered as being used for commercial purposes as long as the Mortgaged
Property has not been altered for commercial purposes and is not storing any
chemicals or raw materials other than those commonly used for homeowner repair,
maintenance and/or household purposes. None of the Mortgaged Properties are log
homes, mobile homes, geodesic domes or other unique property types. Clause (iv)
above is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(j) Valid First or Second Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting
and enforceable first lien (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second lien
(with respect to a Second Lien Loan) on the Mortgaged Property, including all
buildings and improvements on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and
mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located
in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements
made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is
subject only to (collectively, the "Permitted Exceptions"):
(A) with respect to a Second Lien Loan only, the lien of the
first mortgage on the Mortgaged Property;
(B) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments
not yet due and payable;
(C) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of
recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions
generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan
and which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the
Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and
(D) other matters to which like properties are commonly
subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use,
enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.
Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and
delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid,
subsisting, enforceable and 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 and the Seller has
full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser subject to the Permitted
Exceptions;
(k) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor in
connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms
(including, without limitation, any provisions therein relating to prepayment
penalties), subject to bankruptcy, equitable principles and laws affecting
creditor rights. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other
such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to
execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and
the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been
duly and properly executed by other such related parties. No fraud, error,
omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a
Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Seller in connection with the
origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance in
relation to such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but without
limiting the other representations and warranties set forth elsewhere in this
Agreement, if any error, omission or negligence in the origination of such
Mortgage Loan occurred despite Seller's conformance with its Underwriting
Guidelines (as in effect at the time such Mortgage Loan was made), then there
shall be a presumptive conclusion that there was no error, omission or
negligence. No fraud, misrepresentation, or similar occurrence or, to Seller's
knowledge, error, omission, or negligence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has
taken place on the part of any Person (other than Seller), including without
limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other
party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application for
any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan. The Seller has reviewed all of
the documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it
deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set
forth herein;
(l) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan has been closed
and the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no
requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to
completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any
escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses
incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the
Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any
amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(m) Ownership. The Seller is the sole owner of record and holder of
the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note and upon
the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the Seller will retain the
Mortgage Files or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the
Custodian, the Purchaser or the Purchaser's designee, in trust only for the
purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of each Mortgage Loan. The
Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and the Seller has good, indefeasible
and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell the
Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and
has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or
agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant
to this Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser
will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. From
and after the related Closing Date, the Seller intends to relinquish all rights
to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan. After the related Closing
Date, the Seller will have no right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of
the Mortgage Loan and the Seller will have no obligation or right to repurchase
the Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in
this Agreement;
(n) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the
Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or,
during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (1) in
compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the
state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located to the extent required to ensure
enforceability of the Mortgage Loan, and (2) either (i) organized under the laws
of such state, or (ii) qualified to do business in such state, or (iii) a
federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a
principal office in such state, or (3) not doing business in such state;
(o) LTV. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV or a CLTV greater than 100%;
(p) Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA
lender's title insurance policy, or with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which
the related Mortgaged Property is located in California a CLTA lender's title
insurance policy, or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance
acceptable pursuant to Seller's Underwriting Guidelines and each such title
insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to prudent lenders in
the secondary mortgage market and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction
where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the originator, its successors
and assigns, as to the first (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second (with
respect to a Second Lien Loan) priority lien of the Mortgage in the original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (or to the extent a Mortgage Note provides
for negative amortization, the maximum amount of negative amortization in
accordance with the Mortgage), subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, and in
the case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the
invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the
Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly
Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given
the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance.
Additionally, such lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress
and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any
interest therein. The Seller (or its predecessor in interest), its successors
and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender's title insurance policy, and
such lender's title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and
effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's
title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including
the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the
coverage of such lender's title insurance policy, including without limitation,
no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of
any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney,
firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received,
retained or realized by the Seller;
(q) No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event
which would permit acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note
and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration
of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or
event which would permit acceleration, and neither the Seller nor any of its
affiliates nor any of their respective predecessors, have waived any default,
breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration;
(r) No Mechanics' Liens. There are no mechanics' or similar liens or
claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are
outstanding that under 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;
(s) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements
which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged
Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the
Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon
the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged
Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation;
(t) Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by
a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant
to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan
association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company
or other similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or
state authority, except with respect to a Mortgage Loan purchased from a
correspondent as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. Principal payments on
the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than seventy days after funds were disbursed
in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Interest Rate as well as, in
the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Lifetime Rate Cap and the
Periodic Cap are as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. Unless
specified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only loan or a
Balloon Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable in equal monthly
installments of principal and interest, which installments of interest, with
respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, are subject to change due to the
adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date,
with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the
Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not
more than thirty years from commencement of amortization (or forty years for
Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as a Balloon Mortgage
Loan with a forty year amortization period). Unless otherwise specified on the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgage Loan is payable on the first day of
each month and the Mortgage Loan does not require a balloon payment on its
stated maturity date;
(u) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage contains customary and
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder
thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the
benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a
Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by
judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and
foreclosure on, or trustee's sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the
proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good
and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other
exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell
the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the
Mortgage, subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent
with respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption or similar law;
(v) Conformance with Agency and Underwriting Guidelines. The
Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines,
as may be amended from time to time by the Seller (a copy of which is attached
to each related Assignment and Conveyance Agreement). The Mortgage Note and
Mortgage are on forms acceptable to prudent mortgage lenders in the secondary
mortgage market and no representations have been made to a Mortgagor that are
inconsistent with the mortgage instruments used;
(w) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the related Closing
Date the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law. All
inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with
respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to
the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of
occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from
the appropriate authorities. Unless otherwise specified on the related Mortgage
Loan Schedule, the Mortgagor represented at the time of origination of the
Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the
Mortgagor's primary residence;
(x) No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not
been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and
the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage
referred to in paragraph (j) above;
(y) Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of
trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to serve as
such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the
Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to
the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale
after default by the Mortgagor;
(z) [Reserved].
(aa) Delivery of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents required to be
delivered under this Agreement for each Mortgage Loan have been delivered to the
Custodian. The Seller is in possession of a complete, true and accurate Mortgage
File in compliance with Exhibit A hereto, except for such documents the
originals of which have been delivered to the Custodian;
(bb) Condominiums/Planned Unit Developments. If the Mortgaged
Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit development (other than a de
minimis planned unit development) such condominium or planned unit development
project such Mortgage Loan was originated in accordance with, and the Mortgaged
Property meets the guidelines set forth in the Seller's Underwriting Guidelines;
(cc) Transfer of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to MERS
Designated Mortgage Loans, the Assignment of Mortgage with respect to each
Mortgage Loan is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the
laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The
transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by
the Seller are not subject to the bulk transfer or similar statutory provisions
in effect in any applicable jurisdiction;
(dd) Due-On-Sale. With respect to each Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgage contains an provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property
is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee
thereunder, and to the best of the Seller's knowledge, such provision is
enforceable subject to applicable bankruptcy, equitable principles and laws
affecting creditors' rights;
(ee) Assumability. With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loan, the Mortgage Loan Documents do not allow an assumption of such Mortgage
Loan by any other party;
(ff) No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent
Interests. The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which
Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate
account established by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the
Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain
any other similar provisions which may constitute a "buydown" provision. The
Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan
does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature;
(gg) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to
the Mortgagor prior to the applicable Cut-off Date have been consolidated with
the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured
principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single
repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal
amount is expressly insured as having first (with respect to a First Lien Loan)
or second (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) lien priority by a title
insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee's
consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to prudent mortgage
lenders in the secondary market. The consolidated principal amount does not
exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;
(hh) Mortgaged Property Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings.
There is no proceeding pending or, to Seller's knowledge, threatened for the
total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property
is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood,
tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged
Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises
were intended and each Mortgaged Property is in at least the same condition or
better than its condition at the time of its appraisal. Since the time of its
appraisal, there have not been any condemnation proceedings with respect to the
Mortgaged Property;
(ii) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits; Interest Rate
Adjustments. The origination, servicing and collection practices used by the
Seller and the Interim Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in
all respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws
and regulations, and have been in all respects legal and proper. With respect to
escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of,
or under the control of, the Seller or the Interim Servicer and there exist no
deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for
repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected in
full compliance with state and federal law and the provisions of the related
Mortgage Note and Mortgage. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable
law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every item that
remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow
deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Seller have
been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. All Mortgage Interest
Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law
and the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note on the related Interest
Rate Adjustment Date. If, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another
index was selected for determining the Mortgage Interest Rate, the same index
was used with respect to each Mortgage Note which required a new index to be
selected, and such selection did not conflict with the terms of the related
Mortgage Note. The Seller or the Interim Servicer executed and delivered any and
all notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage
Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and the Monthly Payment
adjustments. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and
local law has been properly paid and credited;
(jj) Conversion to Fixed Interest Rate. The Mortgage Loan does not
contain a provision whereby the Mortgagor is permitted to convert the Mortgage
Interest Rate from adjustable rate to a fixed rate;
(kk) Other Insurance Policies; No Defense to Coverage. No action,
inaction or event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed on or
prior to the Closing Date that has resulted or will result in the exclusion
from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable hazard insurance
policy, PMI Policy or bankruptcy bond (including, without limitation, any
exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of
the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to
the insured), irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. In
connection with the placement of any such insurance, no commission, fee, or
other compensation has been or will be received by the Seller or by any officer,
director, or employee of the Seller or any designee of the Seller or any
corporation in which the Seller or any officer, director, or employee had a
financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance;
(ll) No Violation of Environmental Laws. To the best of the Seller's
knowledge, (i) there is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the
Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or
regulation is an issue; and (ii) there is no violation of any environmental law,
rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgage Property;
(mm) Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act. The Mortgagor has not
notified the Seller, and the Seller has no knowledge of any relief requested or
allowed to the Mortgagor under the Relief Act or other similar state statute;
(nn) Appraisal. The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the
related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan
application by a Qualified Appraiser who had no interest, direct or indirect in
the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose
compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage
Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Seller's
Underwriting Guidelines and Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated;
(oo) Disclosure Materials. The Mortgagor has executed a statement to
the effect that the Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required by,
and the Seller has complied with, all applicable law with respect to the making
of the Mortgage Loans. The Seller shall maintain such statement in the Mortgage
File;

Mortgage Loan was made in connection with the construction (other than a
"construct-to-perm" loan) or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or
facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property;
(qq) Request for Notice; No Consent Required. With respect to any
Second Lien Loan, where required or customary in the jurisdiction in which the
Mortgaged Property is located, the original lender has filed for record a
request for notice of any action by the related senior lienholder, and the
Seller has notified the senior lienholder in writing of the existence of the
Second Lien Loan and requested notification of any action to be taken against
the Mortgagor by the senior lienholder. Either (a) no consent for the Second
Lien Loan is required by the holder of the related first lien or (b) such
consent has been obtained and is contained in the Mortgage File;
(rr) Credit Reporting. The Seller (or its sub-servicer) has caused
to be fully furnished, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its
implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (i.e., favorable and
unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union
Credit Information Company (three of the credit repositories), on a monthly
basis. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;

provided the Custodian and the Purchaser with a MERS Report listing the
Purchaser as the Investor and the Custodian as the Custodian with respect to
each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan;

Mortgage Loan, Seller shall designate the Purchaser as the Investor, the
Custodian as the Custodian and no Person shall be listed as Interim Funder on
the MERS(R) System;
(uu) No Default Under First Lien. With respect to each Second Lien
Loan, the related First Lien Loan related thereto is in full force and effect,
and there is no default, breach, violation or event which would permit
acceleration existing under such first Mortgage or Mortgage Note, and no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace
or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which
would permit acceleration thereunder;
(vv) Right to Cure First Lien. With respect to each Second Lien
Loan, the related first lien Mortgage contains a provision which provides for
giving notice of default or breach to the mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan and
allows such mortgagee to cure any default under the related first lien Mortgage;
(ww) No Failure to Cure Default. The Seller has not received a
written notice of default of any senior mortgage loan related to the Mortgaged
Property which has not been cured;
(xx) Credit Information. As to each consumer report (as defined in
the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Public Law 91-508) or other credit information
furnished by the Seller to the Purchaser, that Seller has full right and
authority and is not precluded by law or contract from furnishing such
information to the Purchaser and the Purchaser is not precluded from furnishing
the same to any subsequent or prospective purchaser of such Mortgage. The Seller
shall hold the Purchaser harmless from any and all damages, losses, costs and
expenses (including attorney's fees) arising from disclosure of credit
information in connection with the Purchaser's secondary marketing operations
and the purchase and sale of mortgages or Servicing Rights thereto;
(yy) Leaseholds. If the Mortgage Loan is secured by a leasehold
estate, such lease conforms to the requirements required by Xxxxxx Xxx pursuant
to the Xxxxxx Xxx Guide;
(zz) Prepayment Penalty. Each Mortgage Loan that is subject to a
Prepayment Penalty as provided in the related Mortgage Note is identified on the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule. Each such Prepayment Penalty is in an amount not
more than the maximum amount permitted under applicable law and no such
Prepayment Penalty may be imposed for a term in excess of five (5) years with
respect to Mortgage Loans originated prior to October, 1, 2002. With respect to
Mortgage Loans originated on or after October 1, 2002, the duration of the
Prepayment Penalty period shall not exceed three (3) years from the date of the
Mortgage Note unless the Mortgage Loan was modified to reduce the Prepayment
Penalty period to no more than three (3) years from the date of the related
Mortgage Note and the Mortgagor was notified in writing of such reduction in
Prepayment Penalty period. The second and third sentences of this representation
and warranty are a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(aaa) Predatory Lending Regulations. No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost
Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable, and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after
October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending
Act. No Mortgage Loan is covered by the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act
of 1994 and no Mortgage Loan is in violation of any comparable state or local
law. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(bbb) [Reserved];
(ccc) Qualified Mortgage. The Mortgage Loan is a "qualified
mortgage" under Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code;
(ddd) Tax Service Contract. Each Mortgage Loan is covered by a paid
in full, life of loan, tax service contract issued by Fidelity National Tax
Service, and such contract is transferable;
(eee) Origination. No predatory or deceptive lending practices,
including, without limitation, the extension of credit without regard to the
ability of the Mortgagor to repay and the extension of credit which has no
apparent benefit to the Mortgagor, were employed in the origination of the
Mortgage Loan;
(fff) Recordation. Each original Mortgage was recorded and all
subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage (other than the assignment to
the Purchaser) have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions wherein such
recordation is necessary to perfect the lien thereof as against creditors of the
Seller, or is in the process of being recorded;
(ggg) Mortgagor Bankruptcy. On or prior to the date 60 days after
the related Closing Date, the Mortgagor has not filed and will not file a
bankruptcy petition or has not become the subject and will not become the
subject of involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or has not consented to or will
not consent to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it or to a receiver
being appointed in respect of the related Mortgaged Property;
(hhh) No Prior Offer. The Mortgage Loan has not been previously
rejected by a third-party purchaser;
(iii) [Reserved];
(jjj) Xxxxxx Xxx Guides Anti-Predatory Lending Eligibility: Each
Mortgage Loan is in compliance with the anti-predatory lending eligibility for
purchase requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx Guides. This representation and warranty is
a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(kkk) Mortgagor Selection. No Mortgagor was encouraged or required
to select a Mortgage Loan product offered by the Seller which is a higher cost
product designed for less creditworthy mortgagors, unless at the time of the
Mortgage Loan's origination, such Xxxxxxxxx did not qualify taking into account
credit history and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost credit product then
offered by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller with which the Seller has a
referral relationship or mechanism in place. If, at the time of loan
application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for a lower-cost credit product
then offered by any mortgage lending Affiliate of the Seller with which the
Seller has a referral relationship or mechanism in place, the Seller referred
the related Mortgagor's application to such Affiliate for underwriting
consideration. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(lll) Underwriting Methodology. The methodology used in underwriting
the extension of credit for each Mortgage Loan employs objective mathematical
principles which relate the related Mortgagor's income, assets and liabilities
to the proposed payment and such underwriting methodology does not rely on the
extent of the related Mortgagor's equity in the collateral as the principal
determining factor in approving such credit extension. Such underwriting
methodology confirmed that at the time of origination (application/approval) the
related Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to make timely payments on the
Mortgage Loan. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(mmm) Mortgage Loans with Prepayment Premiums. With respect to any
Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition of a premium upon
a prepayment prior to maturity: (i) prior to the Mortgage Loan's origination,
the related Mortgagor agreed to such premium in exchange for a monetary benefit,
including but not limited to a rate or fee reduction, (ii) prior to the Mortgage
Loan's origination, the related Mortgagor was offered the option of obtaining a
mortgage loan that did not require payment of such a premium; provided, that
such offer may have been evidenced by the Seller's rate sheet/pricing grid
relating to such Mortgage Loan, which provided that the Mortgage Loan had a full
prepayment premium buy-out pricing adjustment available, (iii) the prepayment
premium is disclosed to the related Mortgagor in the Mortgage Loan documents
pursuant to applicable state and federal law, and (iv) notwithstanding any state
or federal law to the contrary, the Seller, as servicer, shall not impose such
prepayment premium in any instance when the mortgage debt is accelerated as the
result of the related Mortgagor's default in making the Mortgage Loan payments.
This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(nnn) Purchase of Insurance. No Mortgagor was required to purchase
any single premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability,
property, accident, unemployment or health insurance product) or debt
cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit. No
Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single-premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life,
mortgage, disability, property, accident, unemployment, mortgage or health
insurance) in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. No proceeds
from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single premium credit insurance
policies as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such
Mortgage Loan. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(ooo) Points and Fees. No Mortgagor was charged "points and fees"
(whether or not financed) in an amount greater than (i) $1,000, or (ii) 5% of
the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan, whichever is greater. For purposes
of this representation, such 5% limitation is calculated in accordance with
Fannie Mae's anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in the Xxxxxx Xxx
Guides and "points and fees" (x) include origination, underwriting, broker and
finder fees and charges that the mortgagee imposed as a condition of making the
Mortgage Loan, whether they are paid to the mortgagee or a third party; and (y)
exclude bona fide discount points, fees paid for actual services rendered in
connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan (such as attorneys' fees,
notaries fees and fees paid for property appraisals, credit reports, surveys,
title examinations and extracts, flood and tax certifications, and home
inspections), the cost of mortgage insurance or credit-risk price adjustments,
the costs of title, hazard, and flood insurance policies, state and local
transfer taxes or fees, escrow deposits for the future payment of taxes and
insurance premiums, and other miscellaneous fees and charges that, in total, do
not exceed 0.25% of the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan. This
representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(ppp) Disclosure of Fees and Charges. All fees and charges
(including finance charges), whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to
be collected in connection with the origination and servicing of each Mortgage
Loan, have been disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with
applicable state and federal law and regulation. This representation and
warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(qqq) No Arbitration. No Mortgage Loan originated on or after August
1, 2004 requires the related Mortgagor to submit to arbitration to resolve any
dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan transaction.
This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation; and
(rrr) Principal Residence. With respect to each Second Lien Loan,
the related Mortgaged Property was the Mortgagor's principal residence at the
time of the origination of such Second Lien Loan. This representation and
warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation.
Subsection 9.03 Remedies for Breach of Representations and
Warranties.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in Subsections 9.01 and 9.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage
Loans to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser,
notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or
Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or failure to examine any Mortgage
File. Upon discovery by either the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of
the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely
affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser 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 party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other.
Within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to
the Seller of any such breach of a representation or warranty, the Seller shall
use commercially reasonable efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material
respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, at the
Purchaser's option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price.
Notwithstanding the above sentence, (i) within sixty (60) days after the earlier
of either discovery by, or notice to, the Seller of any breach of the
representation and warranty set forth in clause (ccc) of Subsection 9.02, the
Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price and (ii) any
breach of a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation shall automatically be
deemed to materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or
the interest of the Purchaser therein. In the event that a breach shall involve
any representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 9.01, 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. However, if the breach shall involve a representation or warranty set
forth in Subsection 9.02 (except as provided in the second sentence of this
paragraph with respect to certain breaches for which no substitution is
permitted) and the Seller discovers or receives notice of any such breach within
120 days of the related Closing Date, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser's
option and provided that the Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan,
rather than repurchase the Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage
Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") and substitute in its place a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, provided that any such substitution shall be
effected not later than 120 days after the related Closing Date. If the Seller
has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, it shall repurchase the deficient
Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or
Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 9.03 shall be
accomplished by either (a) if the Interim Servicing Agreement has been entered
into and is in effect, deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the
Repurchase Price for distribution to the Purchaser on the next scheduled
Remittance Date, after deducting therefrom any amount received in respect of
such repurchased Mortgage Loan or Loans and being held in the Custodial Account
for future distribution or (b) if the Interim Servicing Agreement has not been
entered into or is no longer in effect, by direct remittance of the Repurchase
Price to the Purchaser or its designee in accordance with the Purchaser's
instructions.
At the time of repurchase or substitution, the Purchaser and the
Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the
Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Custodian
relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan. In the event of a repurchase or
substitution, the Seller shall, simultaneously with such reassignment, give
written notice to the Purchaser that such repurchase or substitution has taken
place, amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the Deleted
Mortgage Loan from this Agreement, and, in the case of substitution, identify a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule
to reflect the addition of such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan to this
Agreement. In connection with any such substitution, the Seller shall be deemed
to have made as to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the representations
and warranties set forth in this Agreement except that all such representations
and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed made as of the date
of such substitution. The Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering to
the Custodian or to such other party as the Purchaser may designate in writing
for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the documents required by Subsection
6.03 with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Subsection 6.03. No
substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for
such month. The Seller shall cause the Interim Servicer to remit directly to the
Purchaser, or its designee in accordance with the Purchaser's instructions the
Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due, if any, on such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution.
Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the
month of substitution shall be retained by the Seller. For the month of
substitution, distributions to the Purchaser shall include the Monthly Payment
due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the Seller
shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by the
Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall determine the amount
(if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of all Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled
principal payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such
shortfall shall be distributed by the Seller directly to the Purchaser or its
designee in accordance with the Purchaser's instructions within two (2) Business
Days of such substitution. Accordingly, on the date of such substitution, the
Seller will deposit from its own funds into the Custodial Account an amount
equal to the amount of such shortfall plus one month's interest thereon at the
Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate.
In addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, the
Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and its present and former directors,
officers, employees and agents and any successor Servicer and its present and
former directors, officers, employees and agents and hold such parties harmless
against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and
necessary legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and other costs
and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or
grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Seller representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement. It is
understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this
Subsection 9.03 to cure, substitute for or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan
and to indemnify the Purchaser and Successor Servicer as provided in this
Subsection 9.03 and in Subsection 14.01 constitute the sole remedies of the
Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.
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.
Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of
the breach of any representations and warranties made in Subsections 9.01 and
9.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by
the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by
the Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified
above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with
this Agreement.
Subsection 9.04 Repurchase of Mortgage Loans with First Payment
Defaults. With respect to any Mortgage Loan, in the event that the first
scheduled payment of principal and interest due either (i) after origination of
such Mortgage Loan, or (ii) after the related Closing Date is not paid within
sixty (60) days of the related Due Date, the Seller, at the Purchaser's option,
shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser at the Repurchase Price.
The Seller shall repurchase such delinquent Mortgage Loan within thirty (30)
days of such request unless the Seller can provide evidence reasonably
acceptable to the Purchaser in its good faith discretion that such delinquency
was due to a servicing error.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser may, in its sole
discretion, elect to submit for the Seller's consideration a revised Purchase
Price Percentage (as defined in the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement)
(in each case, a "Revised Pricing Offer") with respect to any such Mortgage
Loan. Thereafter, the Seller shall accept or reject such Revised Pricing Offer.
In the event the Seller rejects a Revised Pricing Offer, the applicable Mortgage
Loan shall be repurchased pursuant to the previous paragraph. In the event the
Seller accepts a Revised Pricing Offer with respect to any such Mortgage Loan
(such loan, a "Repriced Mortgage Loan") the Seller shall refund to the Purchaser
an amount equal to (i) the product of (x) the difference between the original
related Purchase Price Percentage and (y) the applicable Revised Pricing Offer,
and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of such Repriced Mortgage Loan as of
the related Cut-off Date (such product, in each case, the "Repricing
Adjustment"), plus accrued interest on such Repricing Adjustment calculated at
the federal funds rate as of the related Closing Date. Such amount shall be paid
by the Seller to the Purchaser within thirty (30) days thereof.
Subsection 9.05 Premium Recapture. With respect to any Mortgage Loan
without a prepayment penalty, in the event that any such Mortgage Loan prepays
in full during the first three months following the related Closing Date, the
Seller shall pay the Purchaser, within ten (10) Business Days of such prepayment
in full, an amount equal to the product of the applicable percentage of par as
stated in the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement (subject to adjustment
as provided therein) and the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as
of the related Cut-off Date; provided, however, that the Purchaser must request
in writing that Seller pay such amount within six (6) months of the related
Closing Date.
SECTION 10. Closing.
The closing for the purchase and sale of each Mortgage Loan Package
shall take place on the related Closing Date. At the Purchaser's option, each
Closing shall be either: by telephone, confirmed by letter or wire as the
parties shall agree, or conducted in person, at such place as the parties shall
agree.
The closing for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased on each Closing
Date shall be subject to each of the following conditions:
(i) at least two Business Days prior to the related Closing Date,

(ii) all of the representations and warranties of the Seller under
this Agreement and of the Interim Servicer under the Interim Servicing
Agreement (with respect to each Mortgage Loan for an interim period, as

time, would constitute a default under this Agreement or an Event of
Default under the Interim Servicing Agreement;

other than the Purchaser as required pursuant to the terms hereof;
(iv) the Seller shall have delivered and released to the Custodian
all documents required pursuant to this Agreement; and
(v) all other terms and conditions of this Agreement and the related
Purchase Price and Terms Agreement shall have been complied with.
Subject to the foregoing conditions, the Purchaser shall pay to the

pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the account designated by the Seller.

the Seller's attorney's fees, shall be paid by the Seller.
SECTION 13. Cooperation of Seller with a Reconstitution.
The Seller and the Purchaser agree that with respect to some or all
of the Mortgage Loans, after the related Closing Date, on one or more dates
(each, a "Reconstitution Date") at the Purchaser's sole option, the Purchaser
may effect a sale (each, a "Reconstitution") of some or all of the Mortgage
Loans then subject to this Agreement, without recourse, to:
(i) Xxxxxx Xxx under its Cash Purchase Program or MBS Program
(Special Servicing Option) (each, a "Xxxxxx Xxx Transfer"); or
(ii) Freddie Mac (the "Freddie Mac Transfer"); or
(iii) one or more third party purchasers in one or more Whole Loan
Transfers; or
(iv) one or more trusts or other entities to be formed as part of
one or more Securitization Transfers.
The Seller, on behalf of itself and the Interim Servicer, agrees to
execute in connection with any Agency Transfer, any and all pool purchase
contracts, and/or agreements reasonably acceptable to the Seller and the Interim
Servicer, if applicable, among the Purchaser, the Seller and/or the Interim
Servicer, Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac (as the case may be) and any servicer in

reasonably acceptable to the parties, and in connection with a Securitization
Transfer, an Assignment and Recognition Agreement substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit I (collectively, the agreements referred to herein as
designated, the "Reconstitution Agreements"), together with an opinion of
counsel with respect to such Reconstitution Agreements.
With respect to each Whole Loan Transfer and each Securitization
Transfer entered into by the Purchaser, the Seller, on behalf of itself and the
Interim Servicer, agrees:
(1) to cooperate fully with the Purchaser and any prospective
purchaser with respect to all reasonable requests and due diligence procedures;
(2) to execute, deliver and perform all Reconstitution Agreements
reasonably required by the Purchaser (provided Seller and Interim Servicer, if
applicable, shall be given adequate time to review and negotiate in good faith
such agreements);
(3) to restate the representations and warranties set forth in
Subsections 9.01 and 9.02 as of the Reconstitution Date or make the
representations and warranties set forth in the related selling/servicing guide
of the servicer or issuer, as the case may be, or such representations or
warranties as may be required by any rating agency or prospective purchaser of
the related securities or such Mortgage Loans in connection with such
Reconstitution; provided, that the representations and warranties contained in
Subsection 9.02(m) shall be made as of the related Closing Date; and provided,
further, that the representation and warranty contained in Subsection 9.02(a)
(with respect to information regarding stated principal balances and due dates),
(b), the first sentence of (c), (d), (f) (other than the fifth and the seventh
sentences), the first sentence of (h), the first and last sentences of (p), the
first sentence of (q), (r), the first two sentences of (w), (x), (ff), (hh),
(ii) (other than the first and fourth sentences), (ll), (rr), (uu) and (ggg)
shall be made only as of the related Transfer Date. Notwithstanding the provisos
set forth in this clause (3), the Seller shall remain liable for any breaches
following the date of its restatement of the representations and warranties set
forth in Subsections 9.01 and 9.02 to the extent the actions of the Seller,
Interim Servicer or any of their Affiliates contributed to such breaches;
(4) to deliver to Purchaser and any prospective purchaser within
five (5) Business Days after written request by Purchaser or prospective
purchaser, information, in form and substance satisfactory to Purchaser
(provided with respect to (a) and (b) below only if the Mortgage Loans are 20%
or more of the pool of assets included in such Securitization Transfer) and such
prospective purchaser, with respect to each originator of the Mortgage Loans,
required by Item 1110 of Regulation AB, which as of the date hereof requires the
following information: (a) the originator's form of organization; and (b) to the
extent material in the good faith judgment of the Purchaser, a description of
the originator's origination program and how long the originator has been
engaged in originating residential mortgage loans, which description must
include a discussion of the originator's experience in originating mortgage
loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans and, if material in the good faith
judgment of the Purchaser, information regarding the size and composition of the
originator's origination portfolio as well as information that may be material,
in the good faith judgment of the Purchaser, to an analysis of the performance
of the Mortgage Loans, such as the originators' credit-granting or underwriting
criteria for mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans; and
(5) to deliver to the Purchaser and any prospective purchaser within
five (5) Business Days after written request by the Purchaser, static pool
information deliverable pursuant to Regulation AB relating to the mortgage loans
that were originated by the Seller, which are of the same type as the Mortgage
Loans, and (i) for the period during which such mortgage loans were serviced by
the Seller or its agent, or (ii) were previously securitized and publicly
offered by the Seller or its affiliate as the sponsor, or (iii) were included in
static pool information provided by the Seller in connection with a public
securitization of mortgage loans by the Seller or its affiliate, or (iv) such
information as provided to the Seller by any third party purchaser or servicer
(other than the Purchaser or a servicer designated by such Purchaser) together
with indemnification therefor (collectively, the "Static Pool Information").
Such Static Pool Information shall be prepared by the Seller in accordance with
the requirements of Regulation AB. To the extent that there is reasonably
available to the Seller Static Pool Information with respect to more than one
mortgage loan type, the Purchaser or any Depositor shall be entitled to specify
whether some or all of such information shall be provided pursuant to clause (5)
above. A vintage origination year represents mortgage loans originated during
the same year. Such Static Pool Information shall be for the prior five years or
for so long as the originator has been originating (in the case of data by
vintage origination year) or securitizing (in the case of data by prior
securitized pools) such mortgage loans, if originating for less than five years.
The Static Pool Information for each vintage origination year or prior
securitized pools, as applicable, shall be presented no less frequently than
quarterly increments, to the extent material in the good faith judgment of the
Purchaser, over the life of the mortgage loans included in the vintage
origination year or prior securitized pool. The content of such Static Pool
Information may be in the form customarily provided by the Seller, and need not
be customized for the Purchaser or any assignee or designee thereof. The Seller
and the Purchaser agree that either (i) the Seller shall provide all Static Pool
Information, as described above, or (ii) solely with respect to the period of
time prior to January 1, 2006, the Seller shall represent and warrant that it is
unable without unreasonable effort or expense to provide Static Pool
Information.
The Seller and the Interim Servicer shall provide to the Purchaser's
servicer or issuer, as the case may be, and any other participants or purchasers
in such Reconstitution: (i) any and all information and appropriate verification
of information which may be reasonably available to the Seller, the Interim
Servicer or their affiliates, whether through letters of its auditors and
counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser or any such other participant shall
request; (ii) such additional representations, warranties, covenants, opinions
of counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials or
officers of the Seller or the Interim Servicer as are reasonably believed
necessary by the Purchaser or any such other participant; and (iii) to execute,
deliver and satisfy all conditions set forth in any indemnity agreement required
by the Purchaser or any such participant, including, without limitation, an
Indemnification and Contribution Agreement in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B as agreed upon by the parties thereto. Moreover, the Seller,
on behalf of itself and the Interim Servicer, agrees to cooperate with all
reasonable requests made by the Purchaser to effect such Reconstitution
Agreements. The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser, each affiliate of the
Purchaser participating in the Reconstitution and each Person who controls the
Purchaser or such affiliate and their respective present and former directors,
officers, employees and agents, and hold each of them harmless from and against
any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees
and expenses that each of them may sustain arising out of or based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or arising out
of or based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, to the
extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission relates to, information provided by or on behalf of the Seller
regarding the Seller, the Seller's or other originator's Static Pool Information
or the unavailability of such Static Pool Information (based upon a breach of
the representation and warranty set forth in clause (ii) of the final sentence
of the previous paragraph), the Mortgage Loans or the Underwriting Guidelines
set forth in any offering document prepared in connection with any
Reconstitution. By way of clarification, an omission or alleged omission as
described in the prior sentence shall be construed solely by reference to the
information the Seller is indemnifying for as required to be provided pursuant
to Regulation AB under clauses (4) and (5) above (the "Indemnified Information")
and not to any other information communicated in connection with a sale or
purchase of securities, without regard to whether the Indemnified Information or
any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other
information. For purposes of the indemnification set forth above, "Purchaser"
shall mean the Person then acting as the Purchaser under this Agreement and any
and all Persons who previously were "Purchasers" under this Agreement.
With respect to those Mortgage Loans that were sold to the Purchaser
pursuant to this Agreement and subsequently subject to a Securitization
Transfer, the Purchaser shall within five (5) Business Days after written
request by the Seller (or such other time as is reasonably required by the
Purchaser, but in any event in a timely manner in order for the Seller to comply
with Regulation AB), cause the related servicer (or another party) to be
obligated to provide such information, in the form customarily provided by such
servicer or other party (which need not be customized for the Seller) with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, including, without limitation, providing to the
Seller static pool information deliverable pursuant to Regulation AB (such
information provided by the servicer or such other party, the "Loan Performance
Information").
The Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller, each Person who controls
the Seller, each affiliate of the Seller and the respective present and former
directors, officers, employees and agents of each of the foregoing, and shall
hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and
any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of
or based upon:
(i) (A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or
alleged to be contained in the Loan Performance Information or (B)
the omission or alleged omission to state in the Loan Performance
Information a material fact required to be stated in the Loan
Performance 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
Loan Performance Information and not to any other information
communicated in connection with a sale or purchase of securities,
without regard to whether the Loan Performance Information or any
portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such
other information; or
(ii) any failure by the Purchaser or by the related servicer
(or other party) to deliver any Loan Performance Information as
required above.
For purposes of all Regulation AB provisions above, the term
"Purchaser" shall refer to the Purchaser hereunder and its successors in
interest and assigns. In addition, any notice or request that must be "in
writing" or "written" may be made by electronic mail.
The Purchaser will reimburse to the Seller up to $15,000 of the
Seller's out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with a Securitization
Transfer.
In the event the Purchaser has elected to have the Seller or the
Interim Servicer hold record title to the Mortgages, prior to the Reconstitution
Date, the Seller shall prepare an assignment of mortgage in blank or to the
prospective purchaser or trustee, as applicable, from the Seller or the Interim
Servicer, as applicable, acceptable to the prospective purchaser or trustee, as
applicable, for each Mortgage Loan that is part of the Reconstitution and shall
pay all preparation and recording costs associated therewith. In connection with
the Reconstitution, the Seller shall execute or shall cause the Interim Servicer
to execute each assignment of mortgage, track such Assignments of Mortgage to
ensure they have been recorded and deliver them as required by the prospective
purchaser or trustee, as applicable, upon the Seller's receipt thereof.
Additionally, the Seller shall prepare and execute or shall cause the Interim
Servicer to execute, at the direction of the Purchaser, any note endorsement in
connection with any and all seller/servicer agreements.
All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a
Reconstitution shall remain subject to this Agreement and, if the Interim
Servicing Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to the related Mortgage
Loan Package, shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the Interim Servicing Agreement and with respect thereto this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 14. The Seller.
Subsection 14.01 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, reasonable and necessary legal fees and expenses (including legal
fees and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Seller's
indemnification obligation under this Subsection 14.01) and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that such parties may sustain
in any way related to the failure of the Seller to perform its duties and the
Interim Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the
terms of this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement entered into pursuant to
Section 13 or any breach of any of Seller's representations, warranties and
covenants set forth in this Agreement (provided that such costs shall not
include any lost profits or special or consequential damages). Except as set
forth above, the Seller shall not be liable to any Person for any action taken
or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and believed by it to be
within the purview 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 under this
Subsection 14.01 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 under this Subsection 14.01, notify the indemnifying party in writing of
the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party
will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to
any indemnified party under this Subsection 14.01, except to the extent that it
has been prejudiced in any material respect, or from any liability which it may
have, otherwise than under this Subsection 14.01. In case any such action is
brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of
the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate
therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the
indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such
indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided that if the defendants in any
such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and
the indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may
be legal defenses available to it or them and/or other indemnified parties which
are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party,
the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel
to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of
such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of
notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so
to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of
counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for
expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in
connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso
to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the
indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one
separate counsel (together with one local counsel, if applicable)), (ii) the
indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable
time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party
has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at
the expense of the indemnifying party; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii)
is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred
to in such clause (i) or (iii).
(c) The Seller shall not be under any obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its obligation
to sell or duty to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement
and which in its opinion may result in its incurring any expenses or liability;
provided, however, that the Seller may, with the consent of the Purchaser,
undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to
this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event,
the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Purchaser shall
be liable, and the Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the
Purchaser upon written demand except when such expenses, costs and liabilities
are subject to the Seller's indemnification under Subsections 14.01(a) or
14.01(b).
Subsection 14.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Seller.
The Seller will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation
except as permitted herein, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do
business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, 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 have a net worth of at least $25,000,000.
SECTION 15. Financial Statements.
The Seller understands that in connection with the Purchaser's
marketing of the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall make available to
prospective purchasers audited financial statements of the Seller for the most
recently completed three fiscal years respecting which such statements are
available, as well as a Consolidated Statement of Condition of the Seller at the
end of the last two fiscal years covered by such Consolidated Statement of
Operations. The Seller shall also make available any comparable interim
statements to the extent any such statements have been prepared by the Seller
(and are available upon request to members or stockholders of the Seller or the
public at large). The Seller, if it has not already done so, agrees to furnish
promptly to the Purchaser copies of the statements specified above. The Seller
shall also make available information on its servicing performance with respect
to loans serviced for others, including delinquency ratios.
The Seller also agrees to allow reasonable access to a knowledgeable
financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions asked by
any prospective purchaser regarding recent developments affecting the Seller or
the financial statements of the Seller.
SECTION 16. Mandatory Delivery; Grant of Security Interest.
The sale and delivery on the related Closing Date of the Mortgage
Loans described on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is mandatory from and
after the date of the execution of the related Purchase Price and Terms
Agreement, it being specifically understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan
is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of money damages
would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages
incurred by the Purchaser (including damages to prospective purchasers of the
Mortgage Loans) in the event of the Seller's failure to deliver (i) each of the
related Mortgage Loans or (ii) one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
or (iii) one or more Mortgage Loans otherwise acceptable to the Purchaser on or
before the related Closing Date. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under
this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or
remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights
and remedies may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.
SECTION 17. Notices.
All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed, by registered or

addressee (as evidenced, in the case of registered or certified mail, by the
date noted on the return receipt).
SECTION 18. 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 19. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of
counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such
counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.
SECTION 20. Governing Law.
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. The Agreement shall
be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the
obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in
accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York (without regard to
conflicts of laws principles), except to the extent preempted by Federal law.
SECTION 21. Intention of the Parties.
It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing,
and the Seller is selling the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the
Seller or another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat
the transaction for Federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and a
purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, the arrangement
under which the Mortgage Loans are held shall be consistent with classification
of such arrangement as a grantor trust in the event it is not found to represent
direct ownership of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall have the right to
review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Files to determine the
characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the Federal income tax
consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller shall cooperate with
all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review.
SECTION 22. 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 shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 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 23. Waivers.
No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified
unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against
whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.
SECTION 24. Exhibits.
The exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a
part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.
SECTION 25. General Interpretive Principles.
For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly
provided or unless the context otherwise requires:
(a) the terms defined in this Agreement have the meanings assigned
to them in this Agreement and include the plural as well as the singular, and
the use of any gender herein shall be deemed to include the other gender;
(b) accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings
assigned to them in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
(c) references herein to "Articles," "Sections," "Subsections,"
"Paragraphs," and other subdivisions without reference to a document are to
designated Articles, Sections, Subsections, Paragraphs and other subdivisions of
this Agreement;
(d) reference to a Subsection without further reference to a Section
is a reference to such Subsection as contained in the same Section in which the
reference appears, and this rule shall also apply to Paragraphs and other
subdivisions;
(e) the words "herein," "hereof," "hereunder" and other words of
similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular
provision; and
(f) the term "include" or "including" shall mean without limitation
by reason of enumeration.
SECTION 26. Reproduction of Documents.
This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including,
without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications which may hereafter
be executed, (b) documents received by any party at the closing, and (c)
financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter
furnished, may be reproduced by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm,
micro-card, miniature photographic or other similar process. The parties agree
that any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original
itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding, whether or not the original
is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by a party in the
regular course of business, and that any enlargement, facsimile or further
reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.
SECTION 27. Further Agreements.
The Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver to
the other such reasonable and appropriate additional documents, instruments or
agreements as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this
Agreement.
SECTION 28. Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Assignments
of Mortgage is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real
property records in all the counties or their comparable jurisdictions in which
any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other
appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be
effected at the Seller's expense in the event recordation is either necessary
under applicable law or requested by the Purchaser at its sole option.
SECTION 29. No Solicitation.
From and after the related Closing Date, the Seller agrees that it
will not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its
agents or subsidiaries, or by any independent contractors on the Seller's
behalf, to personally, by telephone or mail (via electronic means or otherwise),
solicit a Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan for the purpose of refinancing a
Mortgage Loan, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the
Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the
Seller, or any of its respective affiliates:
(i) may advertise its availability for handling refinancings of
mortgages in its portfolio, including the promotion of terms it has
available for such refinancings, through the sending of letters or
promotional material, so long as it does not specifically target
Mortgagors and so long as such promotional material either is sent to the
mortgagors for all of the mortgages in the servicing portfolio of the
Seller and any of its affiliates (those it owns as well as those serviced
for others); and
(ii) may provide pay-off information and otherwise cooperate with
individual mortgagors who contact it about prepaying their mortgages by
advising them of refinancing terms and streamlined origination
arrangements that are available.
Promotions undertaken by the Seller or by any affiliate of the
Seller 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 29. In addition, the solicitation of any
Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan for the purpose of offering, selling and/or
making other financial products, including, without limitation, credit cards and
personal loans, shall not constitute solicitation under this Section 29;
provided such solicitations may not involve products related to the Mortgaged
Property in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the
Purchaser.
SECTION 30. Waiver of Trial by Jury.
THE SELLER AND THE PURCHASER EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND
INTENTIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT
IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

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,

EXHIBIT A
CONTENTS OF EACH MORTGAGE FILE
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage File shall include
each of the following items, which shall be available for inspection by the
Purchaser and any prospective Purchaser, and which shall be delivered to the
Custodian, or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing,
pursuant to Section 6 of the Third Amended and Restated Mortgage Loan Purchase
and Warranties Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached (the "Agreement"):
(a) the original Mortgage Note bearing all intervening endorsements,
endorsed "Pay to the order of _________, without recourse" and signed in
the name of the last endorsee (the "Last Endorsee") by an authorized
officer. 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]". If the Mortgage Loan was acquired or originated
by the Last Endorsee while doing business under another name, the
endorsement must be by "[Last Endorsee], formerly known as [previous
name]";
(b) the original of any guarantee executed in connection with the
Mortgage Note;
(c) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon. 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;
(d) the originals of all assumption, modification, consolidation or
extension agreements, if any, with evidence of recording thereon;
(e) except with respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, the
original Assignment of Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan, in form and
substance acceptable for recording. 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) the originals of all intervening assignments of mortgage (if
any) evidencing a complete chain of assignment from the Seller to the Last
Endorsee (or MERS, with respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan)
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) the original mortgagee policy of title insurance or, in the
event such original title policy is unavailable, a true copy of the
related policy binder or commitment for title issued 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; and
(i) 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 120 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 is
expected to 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.

INDEMNIFICATION
3.1 Indemnification by the Indemnifying Party of the Depositor and

the Depositor and the Underwriter and their respective affiliates, and their
respective present and former directors, officers, employees, agents and each
Person, if any, that controls the Depositor, the Underwriter or such affiliate,
within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (collectively, the

fines, forfeitures or liabilities, joint or several, to which each such
Indemnified Party may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or
otherwise, to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in the Prospectus Supplement, the Private Placement Memorandum or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, to the extent that such
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
relates to information set forth in the Indemnifying Party Information, and the
Indemnifying Party shall in each case reimburse each Indemnified Party for any
legal or other costs, fees, or expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified
Party in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, penalty, fine, forfeiture, liability or action. [The Indemnifying
Party's liability under this Section 3.1 shall be in addition to any other
liability that the Indemnifying Party may otherwise have.]
(b) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3.1 shall
for any reason be unavailable to an Indemnified Party under this Section 3.1
(other than due to indemnification not being applicable under Section 3.1(a)),
then the party which would otherwise be obligated to indemnify with respect
thereto, on the one hand, and the parties which would otherwise be entitled to
be indemnified, on the other hand, shall contribute to the aggregate losses,
liabilities, claims, damages, penalty, fine, forfeiture, costs, fees and
expenses of the nature contemplated herein and incurred by the parties hereto in
such proportions that are appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
Depositor or the Underwriter, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Party, on
the other hand, in connection with the applicable misstatements or omissions as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
Person that was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of
this Section 3.1, each director of a party to this Agreement and each Person, if
any, that controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of Section 15 of
the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such party.
3.2 Notification; Procedural Matters. Promptly after receipt by an
Indemnified Party under Section 3.1 of notice of any claim or the commencement
of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to
be made against the Indemnifying Party (or if a claim for contribution is to be
made against another party) under Section 3.1, notify the Indemnifying Party (or
other contributing party) in writing of the claim or the commencement of such
action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party (or
other contributing party) shall not relieve it from any liability which it may
have under Section 3.1 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by
such failure; and provided, further, however, that the failure to notify the
Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
any Indemnified Party (or to the party requesting contribution) otherwise than
under Section 3.1. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified
Party and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent
that, by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party promptly after
receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying
Party elects to assume the defense thereof, it may participate with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if
the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or parties shall reasonably have
concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or them and/or other
Indemnified Parties that are different from or additional to those available to
the Indemnifying Party, or if the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnifying
Party to represent the Indemnified Parties would present such counsel with a
conflict of interest, 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 such counsel, the Indemnifying Party shall not be
liable to such Indemnified Party under this paragraph for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the
defense thereof, unless (i) the Indemnified Party shall have employed separate
counsel (plus any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of legal
defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence,
(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 shall have authorized the employment of counsel for the
Indemnified Party at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. No party shall be
liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In no event shall the
Indemnifying Party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel
(in addition to any local counsel) separate from its own counsel for all
Indemnified Parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or
related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances.

connection with the obligations of the Seller contemplated herein, or which
would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Seller to perform under
the terms of this Agreement;
(f) Ability to Perform; Solvency. The Seller does not believe, nor
does it have any reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and

except as set forth in the notes thereto. In addition, the Seller has delivered
information as to its loan gain and loss experience in respect of foreclosures
and its loan delinquency experience for the immediately preceding three-year
period, in each case with respect to mortgage loans owned by it and such
mortgage loans serviced for others during such period, and all such information

mortgage loan or to deny any mortgage loan application is an independent
decision based upon the Underwriting Guidelines, and is in no way made as a
result of Purchaser's decision to purchase, or not to purchase, or the price
Purchaser may offer to pay for, any such mortgage loan, if originated; and

Seller upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement constitutes fair
consideration and reasonably equivalent value for the Mortgage Loans.

to each Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date for such Mortgage Loan:
(a) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct;
(b) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the
related Closing Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note,
other than payments not yet 30 days delinquent, have been made and credited. No
payment required under the Mortgage Loan is 30 days or more delinquent nor has
any payment under the Mortgage Loan been 30 days or more delinquent at any time
since the origination of the Mortgage Loan. The first Monthly Payment shall be
made with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its related Due Date or within the
grace period, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note;
(c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with
the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance
premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents
which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has
been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which
remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. The
Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any
advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly,
for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for
interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of
the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by
one month the related Due Date of the first installment of principal and
interest;
(d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and
Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect,
from the date of origination except by a written instrument which has been
recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser, and which has
been delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall
designate in writing, and the terms of which are reflected in the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or
modification has been approved by the title insurer, if any, to the extent
required by the policy, and its terms are reflected on the related Mortgage Loan
Schedule, if applicable. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part,
except in connection with an assumption agreement, approved by the issuer of the
title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption
agreement is part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Custodian or to
such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing and the terms of
which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the
defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage
Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with
respect thereto, and no Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or Federal
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was
originated;
(f) Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all
buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a
generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage
and such other hazards, if any, as are usually and customarily insured against
by prudent mortgage lenders in the community in which the related Mortgaged
Property is located. If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as
amended, each Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration
as in effect which policy conforms to the requirements usually and customarily
insured against by prudent mortgage lenders in the community in which the
related Mortgaged Property is located, as well as all additional requirements
set forth in Section 2.10 of the Interim Servicing Agreement. 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 the hazard insurance
policy at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do
so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance
at such Xxxxxxxxx's cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from
the Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been
given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance,
provided the policy is not a "master" or "blanket" hazard insurance policy
covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common
facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the
valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and
will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller
has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor's having engaged in,
any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the
benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding
effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission,
kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be
received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity,
and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the
Seller;
(g) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any
federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury,
truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection,
equal credit opportunity, disclosure and all predatory and abusive lending laws
applicable to the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, any provisions
relating to Prepayment Penalties, have been complied with, the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such
laws or regulations, and the Seller shall maintain in its possession, available
for the Purchaser's inspection, and shall deliver to the Purchaser upon demand,
evidence of compliance with all such requirements. This representation and
warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(h) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been
satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the
Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole
or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such
release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Seller has not waived
the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor's failure to
perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the
Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the
Mortgagor;
(i) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property
is a fee simple property located in the state identified in the Mortgage Loan
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 an
individual unit in a planned unit development and that no residence or dwelling
is a mobile home, provided, however, that any condominium unit or planned unit
development shall not fall within any of the "Ineligible Projects" of part VIII,
Section 102 of the Xxxxxx Xxx Selling Guide and shall conform with the
Underwriting Guidelines. In the case of any Mortgaged Properties that are
Manufactured Homes (a "Manufactured Home Mortgage Loans"), (i) the related
manufactured dwelling is permanently affixed to the land, (ii) the related
manufactured dwelling and the related land are subject to a Mortgage properly
filed in the appropriate public recording office and naming Seller as mortgagee,
(iii) the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged
Property is located will deem the manufactured dwelling located on such
Mortgaged Property to be a part of the real property on which such dwelling is
located, (iv) as of the origination date of such Manufactured Home Mortgage
Loan, the related Mortgagor occupied the related manufactured dwelling as its
primary residence; and (v) such Manufactured Home Mortgage Loan is (x) a
qualified mortgage under Section 860G(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended and (y) secured by manufactured housing treated as a single
family residence under Section 25(e)(10) of the Code. As of the date of
origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property was used for commercial
purposes, and since the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged
Property has been used for commercial purposes; provided, that Mortgaged
Properties which contain a home office shall not be considered as being used for
commercial purposes as long as the Mortgaged Property has not been altered for
commercial purposes and is not storing any chemicals or raw materials other than
those commonly used for homeowner repair, maintenance and/or household purposes.
This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(j) Valid First or Second Lien. The Mortgage is 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) on the Mortgaged Property,
including all buildings and improvements on the Mortgaged Property and all
installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning
systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations
and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the
Mortgage is subject only to:
(A) with respect to a Second Lien Loan only, the lien of the
first mortgage on the Mortgaged Property;
(B) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments
not yet due and payable;
(C) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of
recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions
generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan
and (A) specifically referred to or otherwise considered in the
appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (B) which
do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged
Property set forth in such appraisal; and
(D) other matters to which like properties are commonly
subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use,
enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.
Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and
delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid,
subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien (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 and the Seller
has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser;
(k) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor in
connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms
(including, without limitation, any provisions therein relating to Prepayment
Penalties). All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such
related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to
execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and
the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been
duly and properly executed by other such related parties. No fraud, error,
omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a
Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including without
limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other
party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application for
any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan. The Seller has reviewed all of
the documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it
deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set
forth herein;
(l) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan has been closed
and the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no
requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to
completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any
escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses
incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the
Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any
amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(m) Ownership. The Seller is the sole owner of record and holder of
the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note and upon
the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the Seller will retain the
Mortgage Files or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the
Custodian, the Purchaser or the Purchaser's designee, in trust only for the
purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of each Mortgage Loan. The
Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and the Seller has good, indefeasible
and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell the
Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and
has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or
agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant
to this Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser
will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. The
Seller intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the
Mortgage Loan. After the related Closing Date, the Seller will have no right to
modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loan and the Seller will
have no obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute
another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement;
(n) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the
Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or,
during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (1) in
compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the
state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (2) either (i) organized
under the laws of such state, or (ii) qualified to do business in such state, or
(iii) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank
having a principal office in such state, or (3) not doing business in such
state;
(o) LTV. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than 100%.
(p) Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA
lender's title insurance policy, or with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which
the related Mortgaged Property is located in California a CLTA lender's title
insurance policy, or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance
acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac and each such title insurance policy is
issued by a title insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac and qualified
to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located,
insuring the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first (with respect
to a First Lien Loan) or second (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) priority
lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan,
subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (A), (B) and (C) of
paragraph (j) of this Subsection 9.02, and in the case of Adjustable Rate
Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability
of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for
adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by
state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose
the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such
lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and
against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein.
The Seller, its successor and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender's
title insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is valid and
remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have
been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the
related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything
which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy,
including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other
unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received,
retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no
such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller;
(q) No Defaults. Other than payments due but not yet 30 days or more
delinquent, there is no default, breach, violation or event which would permit
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace
or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which
would permit acceleration, and neither the Seller nor any of its affiliates nor
any of their respective predecessors, have waived any default, breach, violation
or event which would permit acceleration;
(r) No Mechanics' Liens. There are no mechanics' or similar liens or
claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are
outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related
Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate
with, the lien of the related Mortgage;
(s) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements
which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged
Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the
Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon
the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged
Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation;
(t) Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by
a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant
to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan
association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company
or other similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or
state authority. The documents, instruments and agreements submitted for loan
underwriting were not falsified and contain no untrue statement of material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the information and
statements therein not misleading. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions
which would result in negative amortization. Principal payments on the Mortgage
Loan commenced no more than sixty days after funds were disbursed in connection
with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Interest Rate as well as, in the case of an
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Lifetime Rate Cap and the Periodic Cap are as
set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Mortgage Note is payable in
equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which installments of
interest, with respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, are subject to change
due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate
Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to
amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original
term of not more than thirty years from commencement of amortization. Unless
otherwise specified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgage Loan is
payable on the first day of each month. The Mortgage Loan does not require a
balloon payment on its stated maturity date, unless otherwise specified in the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(u) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage contains customary and
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder
thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the
benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a
Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by
judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and
foreclosure on, or trustee's sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the
proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good
and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other
exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell
the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the
Mortgage, subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent
with respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption or similar law;
(v) Conformance with Agency and Underwriting Guidelines. The
Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines (a
copy of which is attached to each related Assignment and Conveyance Agreement).
The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Freddie Mac or Xxxxxx
Xxx and the Seller has not made any representations to a Mortgagor that are
inconsistent with the mortgage instruments used;
(w) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the related Closing
Date the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law. All
inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with
respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to
the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of
occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from
the appropriate authorities. Unless otherwise specified on the related Mortgage
Loan Schedule, the Mortgagor represented at the time of origination of the
Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the
Mortgagor's primary residence;
(x) No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not
been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and
the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage
referred to in paragraph (j) above;
(y) Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of
trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to serve as
such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the
Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to
the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale
after default by the Mortgagor;
(z) [Reserved];
(aa) Delivery of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents required to be
delivered under the Custodial Agreement for each Mortgage Loan have been
delivered to the Custodian. The Seller is in possession of a complete, true and
accurate Mortgage File in compliance with Exhibit A hereto, except for such
documents the originals of which have been delivered to the Custodian;
(bb) Condominiums/Planned Unit Developments. If the Mortgaged
Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit development (other than a de
minimis planned unit development) such condominium or planned unit development
project such Mortgage Loan was originated in accordance with, and the Mortgaged
Property meets the guidelines set forth in the Underwriting Guidelines;
(cc) Transfer of Mortgage Loans. The Assignment of Mortgage (except
with respect to any Mortgage that has been recorded in the name of MERS or its
designee) with respect to each Mortgage Loan is in recordable form and is
acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the
Mortgaged Property is located. The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the
Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Seller are not subject to the bulk
transfer or similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable
jurisdiction;
(dd) Due-On-Sale. With respect to each Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment
of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the
Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of
the mortgagee thereunder, and to the best of the Seller's knowledge, such
provision is enforceable;
(ee) Assumability. With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loan, the Mortgage Loan Documents provide that after the related first Interest
Rate Adjustment Date, a related Mortgage Loan may only be assumed if the party
assuming such Mortgage Loan meets certain credit requirements, if any, stated in
the Mortgage Loan Documents;
(ff) No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent
Interests. The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which
Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate
account established by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the
Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain
any other similar provisions which may constitute a "buydown" provision. The
Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan
does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature;
(gg) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to
the Mortgagor prior to the related Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the
outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal
amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term.
The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly
insured as having first (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second (with
respect to a Second Lien Loan) lien priority by a title insurance policy, an
endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by
other title evidence acceptable under the Underwriting Guidelines. The
consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of
the Mortgage Loan;
(hh) Mortgaged Property Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings.
There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial
condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by
waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other
casualty so 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 each Mortgaged Property is in good repair. There have not been any
condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property and the Seller
has no knowledge of any such proceedings in the future;
(ii) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits; Interest Rate
Adjustments. The origination, servicing and collection practices used by the
Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in all respects in compliance
with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws and regulations, and have
been in all respects legal and proper. With respect to escrow deposits and
Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the
control of, the Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith
for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All
Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal
law and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. An escrow of
funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount
sufficient to pay for every item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but
is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other
charges or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or
the Mortgage Note. All Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in
strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the related
Mortgage and Mortgage Note on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date. If,
pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another index was selected for
determining the Mortgage Interest Rate, the same index was used with respect to
each Mortgage Note which required a new index to be selected, and such selection
did not conflict with the terms of the related Mortgage Note. The Seller
executed and delivered any and all notices required under applicable law and the
terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest
Rate and the Monthly Payment adjustments. Any interest required to be paid
pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited;
(jj) Conversion to Fixed Interest Rate. With respect to Adjustable
Rate Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Loan is not a Convertible Mortgage Loan;;
(kk) Other Insurance Policies; No Defense to Coverage. No action,
inaction or event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed on or
prior to the related Closing Date that has resulted or will result in the
exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable hazard
insurance policy or bankruptcy bond (including, without limitation, any
exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of
the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to
the insured), irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. In
connection with the placement of any such insurance, no commission, fee, or
other compensation has been or will be received by the Seller or by any officer,
director, or employee of the Seller or any designee of the Seller or any
corporation in which the Seller or any officer, director, or employee had a
financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance;
(ll) No Violation of Environmental Laws. There is no pending action
or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with
any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation of
any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgaged
Property; and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all
requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to
use and enjoyment of said property;
(mm) Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act. The Mortgagor has not
notified the Seller, and the Seller has no knowledge of any relief requested or
allowed to the Mortgagor under the Relief Act or other similar state statute;
(nn) Appraisal. The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the
related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan
application by a Qualified Appraiser, accepted by the Seller, who had no
interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on
the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or
disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfied
the requirements of Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and
Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in
effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated;
(oo) Disclosure Materials. The Mortgagor has executed a statement to
the effect that the Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required by,
and the Seller has complied with, all applicable law with respect to the making
of the Mortgage Loans. The Seller shall maintain such statement in the Mortgage
File;
(pp) Construction or Rehabilitation of Mortgaged Property. No
Mortgage Loan was made in connection with the construction (other than a
"construct-to-perm" loan) or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or
facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property;
(qq) Value of Mortgaged Property. The Seller has no knowledge of any
circumstances existing that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the
value or the marketability of any Mortgaged Property (except as may be expressly
shown in the related appraisal) or Mortgage Loan or to cause the Mortgage Loans
to prepay during any period materially faster or slower than similar mortgage
loans held by the Seller generally secured by properties in the same geographic
area as the related Mortgaged Property;
(rr) No Defense to Insurance Coverage. No action has been taken or
failed to be taken, no event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has
existed on or prior to the related Closing Date (whether or not known to the
Seller on or prior to such date) which has resulted or will result in an
exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any primary mortgage
insurance (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses
which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full
amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out
of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the
Seller, the related Mortgagor or any party involved in the application for such
coverage, including the appraisal, plans and specifications and other exhibits
or documents submitted therewith to the insurer under such insurance policy, or
for any other reason under such coverage, but not including the failure of such
insurer to pay by reason of such insurer's breach of such insurance policy or
such insurer's financial inability to pay;
(ss) [Reserved];
(tt) Escrow Analysis. If applicable, with respect to each Mortgage,
the Seller has within the last twelve months (unless such Mortgage was
originated within such twelve month period) analyzed the required Escrow
Payments for each Mortgage and adjusted the amount of such payments so that,
assuming all required payments are timely made, any deficiency will be
eliminated on or before the first anniversary of such analysis, or any overage
will be refunded to the Mortgagor, in accordance with RESPA and any other
applicable law;
(uu) Prior Servicing. Each Mortgage Loan has been serviced in all
material respects in strict compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices;
(vv) Credit Information. As to each consumer report (as defined in
the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Public Law 91-508) or other credit information
furnished by the Seller to the Purchaser, that Seller has full right and
authority and is not precluded by law or contract from furnishing such
information to the Purchaser and the Purchaser is not precluded from furnishing
the same to any subsequent or good faith legitimate prospective purchaser of
such Mortgage. The Seller shall hold the Purchaser harmless from any and all
damages, losses, costs and expenses (including attorney's fees) arising from
disclosure of credit information in connection with the Purchaser's good faith
legitimate secondary marketing operations and the purchase and sale of mortgages
or Servicing Rights thereto;
(ww) Leaseholds. If the Mortgage Loan is secured by a long-term
residential lease, (1) the lessor under the lease holds a fee simple interest in
the land; (2) the terms of such lease expressly permit the mortgaging of the
leasehold estate, the assignment of the lease without the lessor's consent and
the acquisition by the holder of the Mortgage of the rights of the lessee upon
foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or provide the holder of the
Mortgage with substantially similar protections; (3) the terms of such lease do
not (a) allow the termination thereof upon the lessee's default without the

opportunity to cure, such default, (b) allow the termination of the lease in the
event of damage or destruction as long as the Mortgage is in existence, (c)
prohibit the holder of the Mortgage from being insured (or receiving proceeds of

increases set forth in the lease; (4) the original term of such lease is not
less than 15 years; (5) the term of such lease does not terminate earlier than
five years after the maturity date of the Mortgage Note; and (6) the Mortgaged
Property is located in a jurisdiction in which the use of leasehold estates in
transferring ownership in residential properties is a widely accepted practice;
(xx) Prepayment Penalty. Each Mortgage Loan that is subject to a
prepayment penalty as provided in the related Mortgage Note is identified on the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a
Prepayment Penalty feature, each such Prepayment Penalty is enforceable, and
each Prepayment Penalty is permitted pursuant to federal, state and local law.
Each such Prepayment Penalty is in an amount not more than the maximum amount
permitted under applicable law and no such Prepayment Penalty may be imposed for
a term in excess of five (5) years with respect to Mortgage Loans originated
prior to October, 1, 2002. With respect to Mortgage Loans originated on or after
October 1, 2002, the duration of the Prepayment Penalty period shall not exceed
three (3) years from the date of the Mortgage Note unless the Mortgage Loan was
modified to reduce the Prepayment Penalty period to no more than three (3) years
from the date of the related Mortgage Note and the Mortgagor was notified in
writing of such reduction in Prepayment Penalty period. This representation and
warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(yy) Predatory Lending Regulations. No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost
Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable, and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after
October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending
Act. No Mortgage Loan is covered by the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act
of 1994 and no Mortgage Loan is in violation of any comparable state or local
law. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(zz) [Reserved];
(aaa) Qualified Mortgage. The Mortgage Loan is a "qualified
mortgage" under Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code;
(bbb) Tax Service Contract. Each Mortgage Loan is covered by a paid
in full, life of loan, tax service contract issued by Fidelity National Tax
Service, and such contract is transferable;
(ccc) Origination. No predatory or deceptive lending practices,
including, without limitation, the extension of credit without regard to the
ability of the Mortgagor to repay and the extension of credit which has no
apparent benefit to the Mortgagor, were employed in the origination of the
Mortgage Loan;
(ddd) Recordation. Each original Mortgage was recorded and all
subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage (other than the assignment to
the Purchaser) have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions wherein such
recordation is necessary to perfect the lien thereof as against creditors of the
Seller, or is in the process of being recorded;

Mortgage Loan is in compliance with the anti-predatory lending eligibility for
purchase requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx Guides. This representation and warranty is
a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(hhh) Mortgagor Selection. No Mortgagor was encouraged or required
to select a Mortgage Loan product offered by the Originator which is a higher
cost product designed for less creditworthy mortgagors, unless at the time of
the Mortgage Loan's origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into
account credit history and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost credit product
then offered by the Originator or any Affiliate of the Originator. This
representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(iii) Underwriting Methodology. The methodology used in underwriting
the extension of credit for each Mortgage Loan employs objective mathematical
principles which relate the related Mortgagor's income, assets and liabilities
to the proposed payment and such underwriting methodology does not rely on the
extent of the related Mortgagor's equity in the collateral as the principal
determining factor in approving such credit extension. Such underwriting
methodology confirmed that at the time of origination (application/approval) the
related Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to make timely payments on the
Mortgage Loan. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(jjj) Mortgage Loans with Prepayment Premiums. With respect to any
Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition of a premium upon
a prepayment prior to maturity: (i) prior to the Mortgage Loan's origination,
the related Mortgagor agreed to such premium in exchange for a monetary benefit,
including but not limited to a rate or fee reduction, (ii) prior to the Mortgage
Loan's origination, the related Mortgagor was offered the option of obtaining a
mortgage loan that did not require payment of such a premium, (iii) the
prepayment premium is disclosed to the related Mortgagor in the Mortgage Loan
documents pursuant to applicable state and federal law, and (iv) notwithstanding
any state or federal law to the contrary, the Originator, as servicer, shall not

accelerated as the result of the related Mortgagor's default in making the
Mortgage Loan payments. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material
and Adverse Representation;
(kkk) Purchase of Insurance. No Mortgagor was required to purchase
any single premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability,
property, accident, unemployment or health insurance product) or debt
cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit. No
Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single-premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life,
mortgage, disability, property, accident, unemployment, mortgage or health
insurance) in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. No proceeds
from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single premium credit insurance
policies as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such
Mortgage Loan. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(lll) Points and Fees. All points and fees related to each Mortgage
Loan were disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with applicable
state and federal law and regulation. This representation and warranty is a
Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(mmm) Disclosure of Fees and Charges. All fees and charges
(including finance charges), whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to
be collected in connection with the origination and servicing of each Mortgage
Loan, have been disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with
applicable state and federal law and regulation. This representation and
warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(nnn) No Arbitration. No Mortgage Loan originated on or after July
1, 2004 requires the related Mortgagor to submit to arbitration to resolve any
dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan transaction.
This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse
Representation;
(ooo) Request for Notice; No Consent Required. With respect to any
Second Lien Loan, where required or customary in the jurisdiction in which the
Mortgaged Property is located, the original lender has filed for record a
request for notice of any action by the related senior lienholder, and the
Seller has notified the senior lienholder in writing of the existence of the
Second Lien Loan and requested notification of any action to be taken against
the Mortgagor by the senior lienholder. Either (a) no consent for the Second
Lien Loan is required by the holder of the related first lien or (b) such
consent has been obtained and is contained in the Mortgage File. This
representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(ppp) No Default Under First Lien. With respect to each Second Lien
Loan, the related First Lien Loan related thereto is in full force and effect,
and there is no default, breach, violation or event which would permit
acceleration existing under such first Mortgage or Mortgage Note, and no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace
or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which
would permit acceleration thereunder. This representation and warranty is a
Deemed Material and Adverse Representation;
(qqq) Right to Cure First Lien. With respect to each Second Lien
Loan, the related first lien Mortgage contains a provision which provides for
giving notice of default or breach to the mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan and
allows such mortgagee to cure any default under the related first lien Mortgage.

Representation;
(rrr) No Failure to Cure Default. The Seller has not received a
written notice of default of any senior mortgage loan related to the Mortgaged
Property which has not been cured;
(sss) No Negative Amortization of Related First Lien Loan. With
respect to each Second Lien Loan, the related First Lien Loan does not permit
negative amortization. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material and
Adverse Representation; and

the related Mortgaged Property was the Mortgagor's principal residence at the
time of the origination of such Second Lien Loan. This representation and
warranty is a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation.
Subsection 9.03 Remedies for Breach of Representations and
Warranties.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in Subsections 9.01 and 9.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage
Loans to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser,
notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or
Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or failure to examine any Mortgage
File. Upon discovery by either the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of
the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other.
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, at the
Purchaser's option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price.
Notwithstanding the above sentence, (i) within sixty (60) days after the earlier
of either discovery by, or notice to, the Seller of any breach of the
representation and warranty set forth in clause (aaa) of Subsection 9.02, the
Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price and (ii) any
breach of a Deemed Material and Adverse Representation shall automatically be
deemed to materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or
the interest of the Purchaser therein. In the event that a breach shall involve
any representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 9.01 which materially and
adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans as a whole or the interests of
the Purchaser therein, 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. However, if the breach shall
involve a representation or warranty set forth in Subsection 9.02 (except as
provided in the second sentence of this paragraph with respect to certain
breaches for which no substitution is permitted) and the Seller discovers or
receives notice of any such breach within 120 days of the related Closing Date,
the Seller shall, at the Purchaser's option and provided that the Seller has a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase the Mortgage Loan as
provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") and
substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, provided
that any such substitution shall be effected not later than 120 days after the
related Closing Date. If the Seller has no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan,
it shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price. Any
repurchase of a Mortgage Loan or Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
this Subsection 9.03 shall be accomplished by either (a) if the Interim
Servicing Agreement has been entered into and is in effect, deposit in the
Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price for distribution to the
Purchaser on the next scheduled Remittance Date, after deducting therefrom any
amount received in respect of such repurchased Mortgage Loan or Loans and being
held in the Custodial Account for future distribution or (b) if the Interim
Servicing Agreement has not been entered into or is no longer in effect, by
direct remittance of the Repurchase Price to the Purchaser or its designee in
accordance with the Purchaser's instructions.
At the time of repurchase or substitution, the Purchaser and the
Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the
Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Custodian
relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan. In the event of a repurchase or
substitution, the Seller shall, simultaneously with such reassignment, give
written notice to the Purchaser that such repurchase or substitution has taken
place, amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the
Deleted Mortgage Loan from this Agreement, and, in the case of substitution,
identify a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and amend the Mortgage Loan
Schedule to reflect the addition of such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan to
this Agreement. In connection with any such substitution, the Seller shall be
deemed to have made as to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement except that all such
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed made
as of the date of such substitution. The Seller shall effect such substitution
by delivering to the Custodian or to such other party as the Purchaser may
designate in writing for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the documents
required by Subsection 6.03 and the Custodial Agreement, with the Mortgage Note
endorsed as required by Subsection 6.03 and the Custodial Agreement. No
substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for
such month. The Seller shall remit directly to the Purchaser, or its designee in
accordance with the Purchaser's instructions the Monthly Payment less the
Servicing Fee due, if any, on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
in the month following the date of such substitution. Monthly Payments due with
respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution
shall be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to
the Purchaser shall include the Monthly Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan
in the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to
retain all amounts subsequently received by the Seller in respect of such
Deleted Mortgage Loan.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall determine the amount
(if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of all Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled
principal payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such
shortfall shall be distributed by the Seller directly to the Purchaser or its
designee in accordance with the Purchaser's instructions within two (2) Business
Days of such substitution.
In addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, the
Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and its present and former directors,
officers, employees and agents and any Successor Servicer and its present and
former directors, officers, employees and agents and hold such parties harmless
against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and
expenses and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting
from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or
resulting from, a breach of the Seller representations and warranties contained
in this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement. It is understood and agreed
that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Subsection 9.03 to cure,
substitute for or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the
Purchaser and Successor Servicer as provided in this Subsection 9.03 and in
Subsection 14.01 constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a
breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. 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.
Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of
the breach of any representations and warranties made in Subsections 9.01 and
9.02 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by
the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by
the Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified
above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with
this Agreement.
Subsection 9.04 Repurchase of Mortgage Loans With First Payment
Defaults.
With respect to any Mortgage Loan, in the event that the first
scheduled payment of principal and interest due either (i) after origination of
such Mortgage Loan, or (ii) after the related Closing Date is not paid by the
related Mortgagor to the Purchaser within thirty (30) days of such Due Date, the
Seller, at the Purchaser's option, shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the
Purchaser at a price equal to the related Purchase Price Percentage multiplied
by the then outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, plus accrued
and unpaid interest thereon from the date to which interest was last paid
through the day prior to the repurchase date at the applicable Mortgage Interest
Rate, plus any outstanding advances owed to any servicer in connection with such
Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser's right to request a
repurchase hereunder shall not commence until the date which is sixty (60) days
following the related Due Date (the "Breach Date"). The Purchaser shall have
ninety (90) days following the related Breach Date to notify the Seller and
request a repurchase and the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan within
forty-five (45) days of receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Purchaser reserves the right to request a repurchase following such sixty
(60) day timeframe in the event of a NSF return. In addition, if any payment
referred to above is received by the Seller following the Transfer Date but such
payment is made within the allotted thirty (30) or sixty (60) day period, as
applicable, the Purchaser shall not have the option to request a repurchase.
Subsection 9.05 Premium Recapture
With respect to any Mortgage Loan without Prepayment Penalties that
prepays in full during the first three months following the Closing Date, the
Seller shall pay the Purchaser, within three (3) Business Days after such
prepayment in full, an amount equal to the excess of the Purchase Price
Percentage for such Mortgage Loan over par, multiplied by the outstanding
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the related Cut-off Date.

(ii) all of the representations and warranties of the Seller under
this Agreement and under the Interim Servicing Agreement (with respect to
each Mortgage Loan, for an interim period, as specified therein) shall be

SECTION 13. Cooperation of Seller with a Reconstitution.
The Seller and the Purchaser agree that with respect to some or all
of the Mortgage Loans, after the related Closing Date, on one or more dates
(each a "Reconstitution Date") at the Purchaser's sole option, the Purchaser may
effect a sale (each, a "Reconstitution") of some or all of the Mortgage Loans
then subject to this Agreement, without recourse, to:
(i) Xxxxxx Xxx under its Cash Purchase Program or MBS Program

(ii) Freddie Mac (the "Freddie Mac Transfer"); or
(iii) one or more third party purchasers in one or more Whole Loan

The Seller agrees to execute in connection with any Agency Transfer,

the Seller among the Purchaser, the Seller, Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac (as the
case may be) and any servicer in connection with a Whole Loan Transfer, a
seller's warranties and servicing agreement or a participation and servicing
agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Seller, and in
connection with a Securitization Transaction, a pooling and servicing agreement
in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Seller or an Assignment and
Recognition Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I
(collectively the agreements referred to herein as designated, the
"Reconstitution Agreements").
With respect to each Whole Loan Transfer and each Securitization
Transaction entered into by the Purchaser, the Seller agrees (1) to cooperate
fully with the Purchaser and any prospective purchaser with respect to all
reasonable requests and due diligence procedures; (2) to execute, deliver and
perform all Reconstitution Agreements reasonably required by the Purchaser; and
(3) to restate the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement
and the Interim Servicing Agreement as of the settlement or closing date in
connection with such Reconstitution that occurs on or prior to six (6) months
following the related Closing Date and in connection with any Reconstitution
thereafter, to restate the representations and warranties set forth in this
Agreement and the Interim Servicing Agreement as of the related Closing Date
(each, a "Reconstitution Date"), or make the representations and warranties set
forth in the related selling/servicing guide of the master servicer or issuer,
as the case may be, in connection with such Reconstitution. The Seller shall use
its reasonable best efforts to provide to such master servicer or issuer, as the
case may be, and any other participants in such Reconstitution: (i) any and all
information and appropriate verification of information which may be reasonably
available to the Seller or its affiliates, whether through letters of its
auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser or any such other
participant shall request; (ii) such additional representations, warranties,
covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of
public officials or officers of the Seller as are reasonably believed necessary
by the Purchaser or any such other participant, including, without limitation,
an Indemnification and Contribution Agreement in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B; and (iii) to execute, deliver and satisfy all conditions
set forth in any indemnity agreement required by the Purchaser or any such
participant. The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser, each Affiliate of the
Purchaser participating in the Reconstitution, each underwriter or placement
agent participating in the Reconstitution, and each Person who controls the
Purchaser, such Affiliate, underwriter or placement agent and their respective
present and former directors, officers, employees and agents, and hold each of
them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments,
and any other costs, fees and expenses that each of them may sustain in any way
related to any information provided by or on behalf of the Seller regarding the
Seller, the Seller's servicing practices or performance, the Mortgage Loans or
the Underwriting Guidelines set forth in any offering document (including,
without limitation, structural term sheets, collateral term sheets and
computational materials) prepared in connection with any Reconstitution. For
purposes of the previous sentence, "Purchaser" shall mean the Person then acting
as the Purchaser under this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously
were "Purchasers" under this Agreement. Moreover, the Seller agrees to cooperate
with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser to effect such Reconstitution
Agreements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall not be obligated to
any greater extent under any Reconstitution Agreement than it is under this
Agreement. In addition, the Purchaser will reimburse to the Seller up to $10,000
of the Seller's out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with a
Securitization Transaction.
In the event the Purchaser has elected to have the Seller hold
record title to the Mortgages, prior to the Reconstitution Date, the Seller
shall prepare an assignment of mortgage in blank or to the prospective purchaser
or trustee, as applicable, from the Seller acceptable to the prospective
purchaser or trustee, as applicable, for each Mortgage Loan that is part of the
Reconstitution and shall pay all preparation and recording costs associated
therewith. In connection with the Reconstitution, the Seller shall execute each
Assignment of Mortgage, track such Assignments of Mortgage to ensure they have
been recorded and deliver them as required by the prospective purchaser or
trustee, as applicable, upon the Seller's receipt thereof. Additionally, the
Seller shall prepare and execute, at the direction of the Purchaser, any note
endorsement (consistent with this Agreement) in connection with any and all
seller/servicer agreements.
All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a
Reconstitution shall remain subject to this Agreement and, if the Interim
Servicing Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to the related Mortgage
Loan Package, shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the Interim Servicing Agreement and with respect thereto this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 14. The Seller.
Subsection 14.01 Additional Indemnification by the Seller; Third
Party Claims.
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, reasonable and necessary legal fees and expenses (including legal
fees and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Seller's
Indemnification obligation under Subsection 14.01) and related costs, judgments,
and any other costs, fees and expenses that such parties may sustain in any way
related to the failure of the Seller to perform its duties and to service the
Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement or any
Reconstitution Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 13. 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 Purchaser" 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. The Seller
immediately shall notify the Purchaser if a claim is made by a third party with
respect to this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement or the Mortgage Loans,
assume (with the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in
connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and
satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the Purchaser
in respect of such claim. The Purchaser promptly shall reimburse the Seller for
all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence, except when the
claim is in any way related to the Seller's indemnification pursuant to Section
9, or is in any way related to the failure of the Seller to service and
administer the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this
Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement.
Subsection 14.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Seller.
The Seller will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of its
incorporation except as permitted herein, and will obtain and preserve its
qualification to do business as a foreign limited liability company in each
jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the
validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and
to perform its duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, or
any entity 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 have a value or net worth of at least
$25,000,000.
SECTION 15. Financial Statements.
The Seller understands that in connection with the Purchaser's
marketing of the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall make available to
prospective purchasers audited financial statements of the Seller for the most
recently completed three fiscal years respecting which such statements are
available, as well as a Consolidated Statement of Condition of the Seller at the
end of the last two fiscal years covered by such Consolidated Statement of
Operations. The Seller shall also make available any comparable interim
statements to the extent any such statements have been prepared by the Seller
(and are available upon request to members or stockholders of the Seller or the
public at large). The Seller, if it has not already done so, agrees to furnish
promptly to the Purchaser copies of the statements specified above. The Seller
shall also make available information on its servicing performance with respect
to loans serviced for others, including delinquency ratios.
The Seller also agrees to allow reasonable access to a knowledgeable
financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions asked by
any prospective purchaser regarding recent developments affecting the Seller or
the financial statements of the Seller.
SECTION 16. Mandatory Delivery; Grant of Security Interest.
The sale and delivery on the related Closing Date of the Mortgage
Loans is mandatory from and after the date of the execution of the Purchase
Price and Terms Agreement, it being specifically understood and agreed that each
Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of
money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses
and damages incurred by the Purchaser (including damages to prospective
purchasers of the Mortgage Loans) in the event of the Seller's failure to
deliver (i) each of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans or (iii) one or more Mortgage Loans otherwise
reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser on or before the related Closing Date.
The Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security
interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each
such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of its obligations
under the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement, and the Seller agrees that
it shall hold such Mortgage Loans in custody for the Purchaser subject to the
Purchaser's (i) right to reject any Mortgage Loan (or Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan) under the terms of this Agreement and to require another Mortgage
Loan (or Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan) to be substituted therefor, and
(ii) obligation to pay the Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans. All rights and
remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative
with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by law or
equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently,
independently or successively.
SECTION 17. Notices.
All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed, by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, or, if by other means, when received

or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the other party by like
notice. Any such demand, notice or communication hereunder shall be deemed to
have been received on the date delivered to or received at the premises of the
addressee (as evidenced, in the case of registered or certified mail, by the
date noted on the return receipt).
SECTION 18. 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 19. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of
counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such
counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.
SECTION 20. Governing Law.
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. The Agreement shall
be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the
obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in
accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York (without regard to
conflicts of laws principles), except to the extent preempted by Federal law.
SECTION 21. Intention of the Parties.
It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing,
and the Seller is selling the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the
Seller or another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat
the transaction for Federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and a
purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, the arrangement
under which the Mortgage Loans are held shall be consistent with classification
of such arrangement as a grantor trust in the event it is not found to represent
direct ownership of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall have the right to
review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Files to determine the
characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the Federal income tax
consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller shall cooperate with
all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review.
SECTION 22. 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 shall not be unreasonably withheld. 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.
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 23. Waivers.
No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified
unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against
whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.
SECTION 24. Exhibits.
The exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a
part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.

similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular

financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter

itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding, whether or not the original
is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by a party in the
regular course of business, and that any enlargement, facsimile or further

SECTION 27. Further Agreements.
The Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver to
the other such reasonable and appropriate additional documents, instruments or
agreements as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this
Agreement.
SECTION 28. Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Assignments
of Mortgage is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real
property records in all the counties or their comparable jurisdictions in which
any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other
appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be
effected at the Seller's expense in the event recordation is either necessary
under applicable law or requested by the Purchaser at its sole option.
SECTION 29. No Solicitation.
From and after the related Closing Date, the Seller agrees that it will not
cause any action to be taken by any of its affiliates, and that it will not take
any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its agents or
affiliates, or by any independent contractors on the Seller's behalf, to
personally, by telephone or mail (via electronic means or otherwise), solicit
the borrower or obligor under any Mortgage Loan for any purpose whatsoever,
including to refinance a Mortgage Loan, in whole or in part, without (i) the
prior written consent of the Purchaser; or (ii) written notice from the related
borrower or obligor under a Mortgage Loan of such party's intention to refinance
such Mortgage Loan. It is understood and agreed that all rights and benefits
relating to the specific solicitation of any Mortgagors and the attendant
rights, title and interest in and to the list of such Mortgagors and data
relating to their Mortgages (including insurance renewal dates) shall be
transferred to the Purchaser pursuant hereto on the Closing Date and the Seller
shall take no action to undermine these rights and benefits. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Seller, or any of its respective
affiliates:
(1) may advertise its availability for handling refinancings of
mortgages in its portfolio, including the promotion of terms it has
available for such refinancings, through the sending of letters or
promotional material, so long as it does not specifically target
Mortgagors and so long as such promotional material either is sent to the
mortgagors for all of the mortgages in the servicing portfolio of the
Seller and any of its affiliates (those it owns as well as those serviced
for others); and
(2) may provide pay-off information and otherwise cooperate with
individual mortgagors who contact it about prepaying their mortgages by
advising them of refinancing terms and streamlined origination
arrangements that are available.
Promotions undertaken by the Seller or by any affiliate of the
Seller 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 29.
SECTION 30. Waiver of Trial by Jury.
THE SELLER AND THE PURCHASER EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND
INTENTIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT
IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
SECTION 31. Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers.
The Seller hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(A) SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR
PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY
JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE
COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY

(B) CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN
SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT

(D) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT

confidential nature of the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent: (a)
the disclosure of which is reasonably believed by such party to be required in
connection with regulatory requirements or other legal requirements relating to
its affairs; (b) disclosed to any one or more of such party's employees,
officers, directors, agents, attorneys or accountants who would have access to
the contents of this Agreement and such data and information in the normal

(d) that is reasonably believed by such party to be necessary for the

Notwithstanding any other express or implied agreement to the

of them and each of their employees, representatives, and other agents may
disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax
treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind
(including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of them

SECTION 33. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding
relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto and any prior
oral or written agreements between them shall be deemed to have merged herewith.
SECTION 34. Compliance with Regulation AB.
Subsection 34.01 Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.
The Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the purpose
of Section 34 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and
any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and
regulations of the Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms
only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the
Securities Act, the Seller acknowledges that investors in privately offered
securities may require that the Purchaser or any Depositor provide comparable
disclosure in unregistered offerings. References in this Agreement to compliance
with Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private
offerings.
Neither the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to
request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions
other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to
that required under the Securities Act). The Seller acknowledges that
interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time,
whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff,
consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of
counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with reasonable requests made by the
Purchaser or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these
provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In
connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Seller shall cooperate
reasonably and in good faith 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
to permit the Purchaser or such Depositor to comply with the provisions of
Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Seller, any
Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage
Loans, necessary in order to effect such compliance.
Subsection 34.02 Additional Representations and Warranties of the Seller.
(a) The Seller shall be deemed to represent to the Purchaser and to
any Depositor, as of the date on which information is first provided to the
Purchaser or any Depositor under Subsection 34.03 that, except as disclosed in
writing to the Purchaser or such Depositor prior to such date: (i) the Seller is
not aware and has not received notice that any default, early amortization or
other performance triggering event has occurred as to any other securitization
due to any act or failure to act of the Seller; (ii) the Interim Servicer has
not been terminated as servicer in a residential mortgage loan securitization,
either due to a servicing default or to application of a servicing performance
test or trigger; (iii) no material noncompliance with the applicable servicing
criteria with respect to other securitizations of residential mortgage loans
involving the Interim Servicer as servicer has been disclosed or reported by the
Seller; (iv) no material changes to the Interim Servicer's policies or
procedures with respect to the servicing function it will perform under the
Interim Servicing Agreement and any Reconstitution Agreement for mortgage loans
of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans have occurred during the three-year
period immediately preceding the related Securitization Transaction; (v) there
are no aspects of the Interim Servicer's financial condition that could have a
material adverse effect on the performance by the Interim Servicer of its
servicing obligations under the Interim Servicing Agreement or any
Reconstitution Agreement; (vi) there are no material legal or governmental
proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against the Seller, Interim
Servicer, any Subservicer or any Third-Party Originator; and (vii) there are no
affiliations, relationships or transactions relating to the Seller, Interim
Servicer, any Subservicer or any Third-Party Originator with respect to any
Securitization Transaction and any party thereto identified by the related
Depositor of a type described in Item 1119 of Regulation AB.
(b) If so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor on any date
following the date on which information is first provided to the Purchaser or
any Depositor under Subsection 34.03, the Seller shall, within five Business
Days following such request, confirm in writing the accuracy of the
representations and warranties set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section or, if
any such representation and warranty is not accurate as of the date of such
request, provide reasonably adequate disclosure of the pertinent facts, in
writing, to the requesting party.
Subsection 34.03 Information to Be Provided by the Seller.
In connection with any Securitization Transaction the Seller shall
(i) within five Business Days following request by the Purchaser or any
Depositor, provide to the Purchaser and such Depositor (or, as applicable, cause
each Third-Party Originator to provide), in writing and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser and such Depositor, the information and
materials specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section, and (ii) as
promptly as practicable following notice to or discovery by the Seller, provide
to the Purchaser and any Depositor (in writing and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser and such Depositor) the information
specified in paragraph (d) of this Section.
(a) If so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor, the Seller
shall provide such information regarding (i) the Seller, as originator of the
Mortgage Loans (including as an acquirer of Mortgage Loans from a Qualified
Correspondent), or (ii) each Third-Party Originator, as is requested for the
purpose of compliance with Items 1103(a)(1), 1110, 1117 and 1119 of Regulation
AB. Such information shall include, at a minimum:
(A) the originator's form of organization;
(B) a description of the originator's origination program and how
long the originator has been engaged in originating
residential mortgage loans, which description shall include a
discussion of the originator's experience in originating
mortgage loans of a similar type as the Mortgage Loans;
information regarding the size and composition of the
originator's origination portfolio; and information that may
be material, in the good faith judgment of the Purchaser or
any Depositor, to an analysis of the performance of the
Mortgage Loans, including the originators' credit-granting or
underwriting criteria for mortgage loans of similar type(s) as
the Mortgage Loans and such other information as the Purchaser
or any Depositor may reasonably request for the purpose of
compliance with Item 1110(b)(2) of Regulation AB;
(C) a description of any material legal or governmental
proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against the
Seller and each Third-Party Originator; and
(D) a description of any affiliation or relationship between the
Seller, each Third-Party Originator and any of the following
parties to a Securitization Transaction, as such parties are
identified to the Seller by the Purchaser or any Depositor in
writing in advance of such Securitization Transaction:
(1) the sponsor;
(2) the depositor;
(3) the issuing entity;
(4) any servicer;
(5) any trustee;
(6) any originator;
(7) any significant obligor;
(8) any enhancement or support provider; and
(9) any other material transaction party.
(b) If so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor, the Seller
shall provide (or, as applicable, cause each Third-Party Originator to provide)
Static Pool Information with respect to the mortgage loans (of a similar type as
the Mortgage Loans, as reasonably identified by the Purchaser as provided below)
originated by (i) the Seller, if the Seller is an originator of Mortgage Loans
(including as an acquirer of Mortgage Loans from a Qualified Correspondent),
and/or (ii) each Third-Party Originator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Static Pool Information required to be provided under this Subsection 34.03(b)
initially shall relate to the Mortgage Loans sold and purchased hereunder;
provided however, the Purchaser and the Seller agree that if the Purchaser
determines in its sole discretion due to changes in the interpretations of the
requirements of Regulation AB or market practice in complying with Regulation AB
that this limitation shall cause the Purchaser to be unable to comply with
Regulation AB or is not consistent with market practices with respect to static
pool disclosure under Regulation AB, then the Seller shall provide all Static
Pool Information regardless of whether the related Mortgage Loans were sold and
purchased by the Purchaser hereunder. The Seller shall provide all Static Pool
Information in a timely manner in order to allow the Purchaser to comply with
its obligations under Regulation AB. Such Static Pool Information shall be
prepared in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser and the
Seller by the Seller (or Third-Party Originator) on the basis of its reasonable,
good faith interpretation of the requirements of Item 1105(a)(1)-(3) of
Regulation AB. To the extent that there is reasonably available to the Seller
(or Third-Party Originator) Static Pool Information with respect to more than
one mortgage loan type, the Purchaser or any Depositor shall be entitled to
specify whether some or all of such information shall be provided pursuant to
this paragraph. Such Static Pool Information for each vintage origination year
or prior securitized pool, as applicable, shall be presented in increments no
less frequently than quarterly over the life of the mortgage loans included in
the vintage origination year or prior securitized pool. The most recent periodic
increment must be as of a date no later than 135 days prior to the date of the
prospectus or other offering document in which the Static Pool Information is to
be included or incorporated by reference. The Static Pool Information shall be
provided in an electronic format that provides a permanent record of the
information provided, such as a portable document format (pdf) file, or other
such electronic format reasonably required by the Purchaser or the Depositor, as
applicable.
Promptly following notice or discovery of a material error in Static
Pool Information provided pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph
(including an omission to include therein information required to be provided
pursuant to such paragraph), the Seller shall provide corrected Static Pool
Information to the Purchaser or any Depositor, as applicable, in the same format
in which Static Pool Information was previously provided to such party by the
Seller.
If so requested by the Purchaser or any Depositor, the Seller shall
provide (or, as applicable, cause each Third-Party Originator to provide), at
the expense of the requesting party (to the extent of any additional incremental
expense associated with delivery pursuant to this Agreement), such agreed-upon
procedures letters of certified public accountants reasonably acceptable to the
Purchaser or Depositor, as applicable, pertaining to Static Pool Information
relating to prior securitized pools for securitizations closed on or after
January 1, 2006 or, in the case of Static Pool Information with respect to the
Seller's or Third-Party Originator's originations or purchases, to calendar
months commencing January 1, 2006, as the Purchaser or such Depositor shall
reasonably request. Such statements and letters shall be addressed to and be for
the benefit of such parties as the Purchaser or such Depositor shall designate,
which may include, by way of example, any Sponsor, any Depositor and any broker
dealer acting as underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser with respect
to a Securitization Transaction. Any such statement or letter may take the form
of a standard, generally applicable document accompanied by a reliance letter
authorizing reliance by the addressees designated by the Purchaser or such
Depositor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Static Pool Information required
to be provided under this Subsection 34.03(b) initially shall relate to the
Mortgage Loans sold and purchased hereunder; provided however, the Purchaser and
the Seller agree that if the Purchaser determines due to changes in the
interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB or market practice in
complying with Regulation AB that this limitation shall cause the Purchaser to
be unable to comply with Regulation AB or is not consistent with market
practices with respect to static pool disclosure under Regulation AB, then the
Purchaser and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith to amend this provision
to reflect a reasonable, good faith interpretation of the requirements of
Regulation AB or market practice.
(c) [Reserved]
(d) Upon a request by the Purchaser or any Depositor, for the
purpose of satisfying its reporting obligation under the Exchange Act with
respect to any class of asset-backed securities, the Seller shall (or shall
cause each Third-Party Originator to) (i) notify the Purchaser and any Depositor
in writing of (A) any material litigation or governmental proceedings pending
against the Seller or any Third-Party Originator and (B) any affiliations or
relationships that develop following the closing date of a Securitization
Transaction between the Seller or any Third-Party Originator and any of the
parties specified in clause (D) of paragraph (a) of this Section (and any other
parties identified in writing by the requesting party) with respect to such
Securitization Transaction, and (ii) provide to the Purchaser and any Depositor
a description of such proceedings, affiliations or relationships.
(e) With respect to those Mortgage Loans that were sold to the
Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and subsequently subject to a
Securitization Transfer, the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with
then-current industry practice, cause the servicer (or another party) to be
obligated to provide information, in the form customarily provided by such
servicer or other party (which need not be customized for the Seller) with
respect to the Mortgage Loans reasonably necessary for the Seller to comply with
its obligations under Regulation AB, including, without limitation, providing to
the Seller Static Pool Information, as set forth in Item 1105(a)(2) and (3) of
Regulation AB (such information provided by the servicer or such other party,
the "Loan Performance Information").
Subsection 34.04 Indemnification; Remedies.
(a) The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser, each affiliate of the
Purchaser, the Depositor and each of the following parties participating in a
Securitization Transaction: each sponsor and issuing entity; each Person

of the foregoing and of the Depositor, and shall hold each of them harmless from

the "Seller Information"), or (B) the omission or alleged
omission to state in the Seller Information a material fact
required to be stated in the Seller Information or necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in 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 Seller

connection with a sale or purchase of securities, without
regard to whether the Seller Information or any portion
thereof is presented together with or separately from such
other information;
(ii) any failure by the Seller or any Third-Party Originator to
deliver any information, report, certification, accountants'
letter or other material when and as required under this

the extent that such breach is not cured by such closing date,
or any breach by the Seller of a representation or warranty in
a writing furnished pursuant to Subsection 34.02(b) to the
extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date.
In the case of any failure of performance described in clause
(a)(ii) of this Section, the Seller shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser, any
Depositor, as applicable, and each Person responsible for the preparation,
execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with
respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification
pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect
to such Securitization Transaction, for all costs reasonably incurred by each
such party in order to obtain the information, report, certification,
accountants' letter or other material not delivered as required by the Seller or
any Third-Party Originator.
(b) Any failure by the Seller or any Third-Party Originator to

CONTENTS OF EACH MORTGAGE FILE
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage File shall include
each of the following items, which shall be available for inspection by the
Purchaser and any prospective Purchaser, and which shall be delivered to the
Custodian, or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing,
pursuant to Section 6 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Warranties Agreement to
which this Exhibit is attached (the "Agreement"):
(a) the original Mortgage Note bearing all intervening endorsements,
endorsed "Pay to the order of _________, without recourse" and signed in the
name of the last endorsee (the "Last Endorsee") by an authorized officer. 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]". If the Mortgage Loan
was acquired or originated by the Last Endorsee while doing business under
another name, the endorsement must be by "[Last Endorsee], formerly known as
[previous name]";
(b) the original of any guarantee executed in connection with the
Mortgage Note;
(c) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon;
(d) the originals of all assumption, modification, consolidation or
extension agreements, if any, with evidence of recording thereon.;
(e) 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 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) the originals of all intervening assignments of mortgage (if
any) evidencing a complete chain of assignment from the Seller to the Last
Endorsee with evidence of recording thereon;
(g) 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; and
(h) the original of any security agreement, chattel mortgage or
equivalent document executed in connection with the Mortgage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any item described
above in clauses (c), (d), (f) or (g), if the Seller cannot deliver or cause to
be delivered the original of any such item with evidence of recording thereon on
or prior to the Closing Date because of a delay caused by the public recording
office where such item has been delivered for recordation or because such item
has been lost or because such public recording office retains the original
recorded item (each such item, a "Delayed Document"), the Seller shall deliver
or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, (i) in the case of a delay caused by
the public recording office, a photocopy of such Delayed Document, together with
an Officer's Certificate of the Seller (or certified by the title company,
escrow agent, or closing attorney) to the effect that such copy is a true and
correct copy of the Delayed Document that has been dispatched to the appropriate
public recording office for recordation (and the original recorded Delayed
Document or a copy of such Delayed Document certified by such public recording
office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Delayed Document
will be promptly delivered to the Custodian upon receipt thereof by the Seller);
or (ii) in the case of a Delayed Document where a public recording office
retains the original recorded Delayed Document or in the case where a Delayed
Document is lost after recordation in a public recording office, a copy of such
Delayed Document certified by such public recording office to be a true and
complete copy of the original recorded Delayed Document; provided however in
connection with clauses (f) and (g), the Seller may deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Custodian in the case of a delay caused by the public recording
office, a photocopy of such Delayed Document certified by the Seller to be true
and correct, with the original recorded Delayed Document to be provided to the
Custodian within 180 days of the related Closing Date.
In the event an Officers 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 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 is
expected to be delivered to the Custodian. An extension of the date specified in
(iv) above may be requested from the Purchaser, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

Circular, the ABS Informational and Computational Materials, any Free Writing
Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, to the extent that
such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission relates to information set forth in the Indemnifying Party Information,
and the Indemnifying Party shall in each case reimburse each Indemnified Party
for any legal or other costs, fees, or expenses reasonably incurred and as
incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending
any such loss, claim, damage, penalty, fine, forfeiture, liability or action.
The Indemnifying Party's liability under this Section 3.1 shall be in addition
to any other liability that the Indemnifying Party may otherwise have.
(b) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3.1 shall
for any reason be unavailable to an Indemnified Party under this Section 3.1
(other than due to indemnification not being applicable under Section 3.1(a)),
then the party which would otherwise be obligated to indemnify with respect
thereto, on the one hand, and the parties which would otherwise be entitled to
be indemnified, on the other hand, shall contribute to the aggregate losses,
liabilities, claims, damages, penalty, fine, forfeiture, costs, fees and
expenses of the nature contemplated herein and incurred by the parties hereto in
such proportions that are appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
Depositor or the Underwriter, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Party, on
the other hand, in connection with the applicable misstatements or omissions as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
Person that was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of
this Section 3.1, each director of a party to this Agreement and each Person, if
any, that controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of Section 15 of
the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such party.
3.2 Notification; Procedural Matters. Promptly after receipt by an
Indemnified Party under Section 3.1 of notice of any claim or the commencement
of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to
be made against the Indemnifying Party (or if a claim for contribution is to be
made against another party) under Section 3.1, notify the Indemnifying Party (or
other contributing party) in writing of the claim or the commencement of such
action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party (or
other contributing party) shall not relieve it from any liability which it may
have under Section 3.1 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by
such failure; and provided, further, however, that the failure to notify the
Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
any Indemnified Party (or to the party requesting contribution) otherwise than
under Section 3.1. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified
Party and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent
that, by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party promptly after
receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying
Party elects to assume the defense thereof, it may participate with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if
the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or parties shall reasonably have
concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or them and/or other
Indemnified Parties that are different from or additional to those available to
the Indemnifying Party, or if the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnifying
Party to represent the Indemnified Parties would present such counsel with a
conflict of interest, 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 such counsel, the Indemnifying Party shall not be
liable to such Indemnified Party under this paragraph for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the
defense thereof, unless (i) the Indemnified Party shall have employed separate
counsel (plus any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of legal
defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence,
(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 shall have authorized the employment of counsel for the
Indemnified Party at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. No party shall be
liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In no event shall the
Indemnifying Party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel
(in addition to any local counsel) separate from its own counsel for all
Indemnified Parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or
related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE SELLER
(date)
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mortgage Capital Inc.
0000 Xxxxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx
New York, New York 10036
Dear Sirs:
You have requested [our] [my] opinion, as [Assistant] General
Counsel to ___________________ (the "Company"), with respect to certain matters
in connection with the sale by the Company of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to
that certain Third Amended and Restated Mortgage Loan Purchase and Warranties
Agreement by and between the Company and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mortgage Capital Inc.
(the "Purchaser"), dated as of February 1, 2006 (the "Purchase Agreement") which
sale is in the form of whole loans, serviced pursuant to an Amended and Restated
Interim Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2005, between the Purchaser
and ________________________ (the "Interim Servicer") (the "Servicing
Agreement", and collectively with the Purchase Agreement, the "Agreements").
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in
the Purchase Agreement.
[We] [I] have examined the following documents:
(i) the Purchase Agreement;
(ii) the Servicing Agreement;
(iii) the form of Assignment of Mortgage;
(iv) the form of endorsement of the Mortgage Notes; and
(v) such other documents, records and papers as we have deemed
necessary and relevant as a basis for this opinion.
To the extent [we] [I] have deemed necessary and proper, [we] [I]
have relied upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in
the Purchase Agreement. [We] [I] have assumed the authenticity of all documents
submitted to [us] [me] as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the
legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all
documents.
Based upon the foregoing, it is [our] [my] opinion that:
(i) The Company is a [type of entity] duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the [United
States] and is qualified to transact business in, and is in
good standing under, the laws of [the state of incorporation].
(ii) The Company has the power to engage in the transactions
contemplated by the Agreements and all requisite power,
authority and legal right to execute and deliver the
Agreements and to perform and observe the terms and conditions
of the Agreements.
(iii) Each of the Agreements has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Company and is a legal, valid and binding
agreement enforceable in accordance with its respective terms
against the Company, subject to bankruptcy laws and other
similar laws of general application affecting rights of
creditors and subject to the application of the rules of
equity, including those respecting the availability of
specific performance, none of which will materially interfere
with the realization of the benefits provided thereunder or
with the Purchaser's ownership of the Mortgage Loans.
(iv) The Company has been duly authorized to allow any of its
officers to execute any and all documents by original
signature in order to complete the transactions contemplated
by the Agreements.
(v) The Company has been duly authorized to allow any of its
officers to execute by original [or facsimile] signature the
endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and the Assignments of
Mortgages, and the original [or facsimile] signature of the
officer at the Company executing the endorsements to the
Mortgage Notes and the Assignments of Mortgages represents the
legal and valid signature of said officer of the Company.
(vi) Either (i) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any
court or governmental agency or body is required for the
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of or
compliance by the Company with the Agreements and the sale of
the Mortgage Loans by the Company or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Agreements or (ii) any
required consent, approval, authorization or order has been
obtained by the Company.
(vii) Neither the consummation of the transactions contemplated by,
nor the fulfillment of the terms of, the Agreements conflicts
or will conflict with or results or will result in a breach of
or constitutes or will constitute a default under the charter
or by-laws of the Company the terms of any indenture or other
agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by
which it is bound or to which it is subject, or violates any
statute or order, rule, regulations, writ, injunction or
decree of any court, governmental authority or regulatory body
to which the Company is subject or by which it is bound.
(viii) There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending
or, to the best of [our] [my] knowledge, threatened against
the Company which, in [our] [my] judgment, either in any one
instance or in the aggregate, may result in any material
adverse change in the business, operations, financial
condition, properties or assets of the Company or in any
material impairment of the right or ability of the Company to
carry on its business substantially as now conducted or in any
material liability on the part of the Company or which would
draw into question the validity of the Agreements or the
Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in
connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, or
which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the
Company to perform under the terms of the Agreements.
(ix) The sale of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage as and in the
manner contemplated by the Agreements is sufficient to fully
transfer to the Purchaser all right, title and interest of the
Company thereto as noteholder and mortgagee.
(x) The Mortgages have been duly assigned and the Mortgage Notes
have been duly endorsed as provided in the Custodial
Agreement. The Assignments of Mortgage are in recordable form,
except for the insertion of the name of the assignee, and upon
the name of the assignee being inserted, are acceptable for
recording under the laws of the state where each related
Mortgaged Property is located. The endorsement of the Mortgage
Notes, the delivery to the Purchaser, or its designee, of the
Assignments of Mortgage, and the delivery of the original
endorsed Mortgage Notes to the Purchaser, or its designee, are
sufficient to permit the Purchaser to avail itself of all
protection available under applicable law against the claims
of any present or future creditors of the Company, and are
sufficient to prevent any other sale, transfer, assignment,
pledge or hypothecation of the Mortgages and the Mortgage
Notes by the Company from being enforceable.
Except as otherwise set forth in the Agreements, I assume no
obligation to revise this opinion or alter its conclusions to update or support
this letter to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter develop.
This opinion is given to you for your sole benefit, and no other
person or entity is entitled to rely hereon except that the purchaser or
purchasers to which you initially and directly resell the Mortgage Loans may
rely on this opinion as if it were addressed to them as of the date of this
opinion.
Very truly yours,

FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AND RECOGNITION AGREEMENT
THIS ASSIGNMENT AND RECOGNITION AGREEMENT, dated [____________ __,
20__] ("Agreement"), among Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mortgage Capital Inc. ("Assignor"),
[____________________] ("Assignee") and [SELLER] (the "Company"):
For and in consideration of the sum of TEN DOLLARS ($10.00) and
other valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are
acknowledged, and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows:
Assignment and Conveyance
1. The Assignor hereby conveys, sells, grants, transfers and assigns
to the Assignee all of the right, title and interest of the Assignor, as
purchaser, in, to and under (a) those certain Mortgage Loans listed on the

Agreement relates to the Mortgage Loans.
The Assignor specifically reserves and does not assign to the

and any obligations of the Assignor with respect to any mortgage loans subject
to the Purchase Agreement which are not the Mortgage Loans set forth on the

rights of the Purchaser under Section 9.04 of the Purchase Agreement.
Recognition of the Company
2. From and after the date hereof (the "Securitization Closing
Date"), the Company shall and does hereby recognize that the Assignee will
transfer the Mortgage Loans and assign its rights under the Purchase Agreement
(solely to the extent set forth herein) and this Agreement to
[__________________] (the "Trust") created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing

Company shall look solely to the Trust for performance of any obligations of the
Assignor insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, (iii) the Trust
(including the Trustee and the Servicer acting on the Trust's behalf) shall have
all the rights and remedies available to the Assignor, insofar as they relate to
the Mortgage Loans, under the Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation,
the enforcement of the document delivery requirements set forth in Section 6 of
the Purchase Agreement, and shall be entitled to enforce all of the obligations
of the Company thereunder insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, and (iv)

modify, waiver, or otherwise alter any of the terms or provisions of the
Purchase Agreement which amendment, modification, waiver or other alteration
would in any way affect the Mortgage Loans or the Company's performance under
the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans without the prior
written consent of the Trustee.
Representations and Warranties of the Company

and the Trust as of the date hereof that:

under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation;

perform its obligations under this Agreement and has full power and

result in a breach of, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of
the Company's charter or bylaws or any legal restriction, or any
material agreement or instrument to which the Company is now a party
or by which it is bound, or result in the violation of any law,
rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Company or
its property is subject. The execution, delivery and performance by
the Company of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action on part of the Company. This Agreement
has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and, upon the
due authorization, execution and delivery by the Assignor and the
Assignee, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation
of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with

MASTER AGREEMENT
dated as of April 28, 2006
XXXXXX XXXXXXX CAPITAL SERVICES INC.and XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,
not individually, but solely as
Securities Administrator for Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx Capital I Inc. Trust 2006-HE2,
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2006-HE2
have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a
"Transaction") that are or will be governed by this Master Agreement, which
includes the schedule (the "Schedule"), and the documents and other confirming
evidence (each a "Confirmation") exchanged between the parties confirming those
Transactions.
Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:
Part 1. Interpretation
(a) Definitions. The terms defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule will have
the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.
(b) Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of
the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule
will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any
Confirmation and this Master Agreement (including the Schedule), such
Confirmation will prevail for the purposes of the relevant Transaction.
(c) Single Agreement. All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact
that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement between
the parties (collectively referred to as this "Agreement"), and the parties
would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.
Part 2. Obligations
(a) General Conditions.
(i) Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each
Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this
Agreement.
(ii) Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value
on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant
Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely
transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the
required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by
payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the
manner customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified in
the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.
Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to (1) the
condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with
respect to the other party has occurred and is continuing, (2) the condition
precedent that no Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction
has occurred or been effectively designated and (3) each other applicable
condition precedent specified in this Agreement.
(a) Change of Account. Either party may change its account for receiving a
payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local
Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which
such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable
objection to such change.
(b) Netting. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:--
(i) in the same currency; and
(ii) in respect of the same Transaction,
by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party's obligation to make
payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and,
if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party
exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other
party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate
amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the
larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.
The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount
will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the
same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such
amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The election may be made
in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii) above
will not apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the election,
together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above will not,
or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date). This election may
be made separately for different groups of Transactions and will apply
separately to each pairing of Offices through which the parties make and receive
payments or deliveries.
(c) Deduction or Withholding for Tax.
(i) Gross-Up. All payments under this Agreement will be made without any
deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such
deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as modified by
the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in
effect. If a party is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party
("X") will:--
(1) promptly notify the other party ("Y") of such requirement;
(2) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be
deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be
deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by X to Y under
this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining that
such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that
such amount has been assessed against Y;
(3) promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy),
or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing such
payment to such authorities; and
(4) if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to
the payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this Agreement,
such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount
actually received by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable Taxes,
whether assessed against X or Y) will equal the full amount Y would
have received had no such deduction or withholding been required.
However, X will not be required to pay any additional amount to Y to
the extent that it would not be required to be paid but for:--
(A) the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement
contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or
(B) the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to
Section 3(f) to be accurate and true unless such failure would
not have occurred but for (I) any action taken by a taxing
authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on
or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into
(regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with
respect to a party to this Agreement) or (II) a Change in Tax
Law.
(ii) Liability. If: --
(1) X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice
of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any
deduction or withholding in respect of which X would not be required
to pay an additional amount to Y under Section 2(d)(i)(4);
(2) X does not so deduct or withhold; and
(3) a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly against
X,
then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the liability
resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount of such
liability (including any related liability for interest, but including any
related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to comply with or
perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)).
(d) Default Interest; Other Amounts. Prior to the occurrence or effective
designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction,
a party that defaults in the performance of any payment obligation will, to the
extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6(c), be required to pay interest
(before as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on
demand in the same currency as such overdue amount, for the period from (and
including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the date of
actual payment, at the Default Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the
basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. If, prior to
the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect
o-f the relevant Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of any
obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will compensate the other
party on demand if and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation
or elsewhere in this Agreement.
2. Representations
Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed
to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into
and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at all times until the
termination of this Agreement) that:--
(a) Basic Representations.
(i) Status. It is duly organised and validly existing under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its organisation or incorporation and, if relevant
under such laws, in good standing;
(ii) Powers. It has the power to execute this Agreement and any other
documentation relating to this Agreement to which it is a party, to
deliver this Agreement and any other documentation relating to this
Agreement that it is required by this Agreement to deliver and to perform
its obligations under this Agreement and any obligations it has under any
Credit Support Document to which it is a party and has taken all necessary
action to authorise such execution, delivery and performance;
(iii) No Violation or Conflict. Such execution, delivery and performance
do not violate or conflict with any law applicable to it, any provision of
its constitutional documents, any order or judgment of any court or other
agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets or any
contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets;
(iv) Consents. All governmental and other consents that are required to
have been obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit
Support Document to which it is a party have been obtained and are in lull
force and effect and all conditions of any such consents have been
complied with; and
(v) Obligations Binding. Its obligations under this Agreement and any
Credit Support Document to which it is a party constitute its legal, valid
and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective
terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and
subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general
application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding
in equity or at law)).
(b) Absence of Certain Events. No Event of Default or Potential Event of Default
or, to its knowledge, Termination Event with respect to it has occurred and is
continuing and no such event or circumstance would occur as a result of its
entering into or performing its obligations under this Agreement or any Credit
Support Document to which it is a party.
(c) Absence of Litigation. There is not pending or, to its knowledge, threatened
against it or any of its Affiliates any action, suit or proceeding at law or in
equity or before any court, tribunal, governmental body, agency or official or
any arbitrator that is likely to affect the legality, validity or enforceability
against it of this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a
party or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or such
Credit Support Document.
(d) Accuracy of Specified Information. All applicable information that is
furnished in writing by or on behalf of it to the other party and is identified
for the purpose of this Section 3(d) in the Schedule is, as of the date of the
information, true, accurate and complete in every material respect.
(e) Payer Tax Representation. Each representation specified in the Schedule as
being made by it for the purpose of this Section 3(e) is accurate and true.
(f) Payee Tax Representations. Each representation specified in the Schedule as
being made by it for the purpose of this Section 3(f) is accurate and true.
3. Agreements
Each party agrees with the other that, so long as either party has or may have
any obligation under this Agreement or under any Credit Support Document to
which it is a party:--
(a) Furnish Specified Information. It will deliver to the other party or, in
certain cases under subparagraph (iii) below, to such government or taxing
authority as the other party reasonably directs:--
(i) any forms, documents or certificates relating to taxation specified in
the Schedule or any Confirmation;
(ii) any other documents specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation;
and
(iii) upon reasonable demand by such other party, any form or document
that may be required or reasonably requested in writing in order to allow
such other party or its Credit Support Provider to make a payment under
this Agreement or any applicable Credit Support Document without any
deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax or with such
deduction or withholding at a reduced rate (so long as the completion,
execution or submission of such form or document would not materially
prejudice the legal or commercial position of the party in receipt of such
demand), with any such form or document to be accurate and completed in a
manner reasonably satisfactory to such other party and to be executed and
to be delivered with any reasonably required certification,
in each case by the date specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation or, if
none is specified, as soon as reasonably practicable.
(b) Maintain Authorisations. It will use all reasonable efforts to maintain in
full force and effect all consents of any governmental or other authority that
are required to be obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit
Support Document to which it is a party and will use all reasonable efforts to
obtain any that may become necessary in the future.
(c) Comply with Laws. It will comply in all material respects with all
applicable laws and orders to which it may be subject if failure so to comply
would materially impair its ability to perform its obligations under this
Agreement or an Credit Support Document to which it is a party.
(d) Tax Agreement. It will give notice of any failure of a representation made
by it under Section 3(f) to be accurate and true promptly upon learning of such
failure.
(e) Payment of Stamp Tax. Subject to Section 11, it will pay any Stamp Tax
levied or imposed upon it or in respect of its execution or performance of this
Agreement by a jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, organised, managed and
controlled, or considered to have its seat, or in which a branch or office
through which it is acting for the purpose of this Agreement is located ("Stamp
Tax Jurisdiction") and will indemnify the other party against any Stamp Tax
levied or imposed upon the other party or in respect of the other party's
execution or performance of this Agreement by any such Stamp Tax Jurisdiction
which is not also a Stamp Tax Jurisdiction with respect to the other party.
4. Events of Default and Termination Events
(a) Events of Default. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if
applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of
such party of any of the following events constitutes an event of default (an
"Event of Default") with respect to such party:--
(i) Failure to Pay or Deliver. Failure by the party to make, when due, any
payment under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e)
required to be made by it if such failure is not remedied on or before the
third Local Business Day after notice of such failure is given to the
party;
(ii) Breach of Agreement. Failure by the party to comply with or perform
any agreement or obligation (other than an obligation to make any payment
under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) or to give
notice of a Termination Event or any agreement or obligation under Section
4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)) to be complied with or performed by the party
in accordance with this Agreement if such failure is not remedied on or
before the thirtieth day after notice of such failure is given to the
party;
(iii) Credit Support Default.
(1) Failure by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such
party to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation to be
complied with or performed by it in accordance with any Credit
Support Document if such failure is continuing after any applicable
grace period has elapsed;
(2) the expiration or termination of such Credit Support Document or
the failing or ceasing of such Credit Support Document to be in full
force and effect for the purpose of this Agreement (in either case
other than in accordance with its terms) prior to the satisfaction
of all obligations of such party under each Transaction to which
such Credit Support Document relates without the written consent of
the other party; or
(3) the party or such Credit Support Provider disaffirms, disclaims,
repudiates or rejects, in whole or in part, or challenges the
validity of such Credit Support Document;
(iv) Misrepresentation. A representation (other than a representation
under Section 3(e) or (f)) made or repeated or deemed to have been made or
repeated by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such party in this
Agreement or any Credit Support Document proves to have been incorrect or
misleading in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have
been made or repeated;
(v) Default under Specified Transaction. The party, any Credit Support
Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party
(1) defaults under a Specified Transaction and, after giving effect to any
applicable notice requirement or grace period, there occurs a liquidation
of, an acceleration of obligations under, or an early termination of, that
Specified Transaction, (2) defaults, after giving effect to any applicable
notice requirement or grace period, in making any payment or delivery due
on the last payment, delivery or exchange date of, or any payment on early
termination of, a Specified Transaction (or such default continues for at
least three Local Business Days if there is no applicable notice
requirement or grace period) or (3) disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or
rejects, in whole or in part, a Specified Transaction (or such action is
taken by any person or entity appointed or empowered to operate it or act
on its behalf);
(vi) Cross Default. If "Cross Default" is specified in the Schedule as
applying to the party, the occurrence or existence of (1) a default, event
of default or other similar condition or event (however described) in
respect of such party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any
applicable Specified Entity of such party under one or more agreements or
instruments relating to Specified Indebtedness of any of them
(individually or collectively) in an aggregate amount of not less than the
applicable Threshold Amount (as specified in the Schedule) which has
resulted in such Specified Indebtedness becoming, or becoming capable at
such time of being declared, due and payable under such agreements or
instruments, before it would otherwise have been due and payable or (2) a
default by such party, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified
Entity (individually or collectively) in making one or more payments on
the due date thereof in an aggregate amount of not less than the
applicable Threshold Amount under such agreements or instruments (after
giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period);
(vii) Bankruptcy. The party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or
any applicable Specified Entity of such party:--
(1) is dissolved (other than pursuant to a consolidation,
amalgamation or merger); (2) becomes insolvent or is unable to pay
its debts or fails or admits in writing its inability generally to
pay its debts as they become due; (3) makes a general assignment,
arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors;
(4) institutes or has instituted against it a proceeding seeking a
judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief under any
bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting
creditors' rights, or a petition is presented for its winding-up or
liquidation, and, in the case of any such proceeding or petition
instituted or presented against it, such proceeding or petition (A)
results in a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or the entry of an
order for relief or the making of an order for its winding-up or
liquidation or (B) is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or
restrained in each case within 30 days of the institution or
presentation thereof; (5) has a resolution passed for its
winding-up, official management or liquidation (other than pursuant
to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (6) seeks or becomes
subject to the appointment of an administrator, provisional
liquidator, conservator, receiver, trustee, custodian or other
similar official for it or for all or substantially all its assets;
(7) has a secured party take possession of all or substantially all
its assets or has a distress, execution, attachment, sequestration
or other legal process levied, enforced or sued on or against all or
substantially all its assets and such secured party maintains
possession, or any such process is not dismissed, discharged, stayed
or restrained, in each case within 30 days thereafter; (8) causes or
is subject to any event with respect to it which, under the
applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect to any
of the events specified in clauses (1) to (7) (inclusive); or (9)
takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to,
approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the foregoing acts; or
(viii) Merger Without Assumption. The party or any Credit Support Provider
of such party consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or
transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and, at
the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer:--
(1) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume
all the obligations of such party or such Credit Support Provider
under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it or
its predecessor was a party by operation of law or pursuant to an
agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other party to this
Agreement; or
(2) the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend
(without the consent of the other party) to the performance by such
resulting, surviving or transferee entity of its obligations under
this Agreement.
(b) Termination Events. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or,
if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity
of such party of any event specified below constitutes an Illegality if the
event is specified in (i) below, a Tax Event if the event is specified in (ii)
below or a Tax Event Upon Merger if the event is specified in (iii) below, and,
if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger if the event is
specified pursuant to (iv) below or an Additional Termination Event if the event
is specified pursuant to (v) below:--
(i) Illegality. Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable
law after the date on which a Transaction is entered into, or due to the
promulgation of, or any change in, the interpretation by any court,
tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any
applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other than as a
result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which
will be the Affected Party): --
(1) to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a
payment or delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in respect
of such Transaction or to comply with any other material provision
of this Agreement relating to such Transaction; or
(2) to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party to
perform, any contingent or other obligation which the party (or such
Credit Support Provider) has under any Credit Support Document
relating to such Transaction;
(ii) Tax Event. Due to (x) any action taken by a taxing authority, or
brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on
which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is
taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (y) a
Change in Tax Law, the party (which will be the Affected Party) will, or
there is a substantial likelihood that it will, on the next succeeding
Scheduled Payment Date (1) be required to pay to the other party an
additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section
2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or
6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount is required to be
deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax (except in respect of
interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) and no additional amount is
required to be paid in respect of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other
than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B));
(iii) Tax Event Upon Merger. The party (the "Burdened Party") on the next
succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either (1) be required to pay an
additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section
2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or
6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or
withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in respect of which
the other party is not required to pay an additional amount (other than by
reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)), in either case as a result of a
party consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or
transferring all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (which
will be the Affected Party) where such action does not constitute an event
described in Section 5(a)(viii);
(iv) Credit Event Upon Merger. If "Credit Event Upon Merger" is specified
in the Schedule as applying to the party, such party ("X"), any Credit
Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X consolidates
or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or
substantially all its assets to, another entity and such action does not
constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the
creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is
materially weaker than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such
Specified Entity, as the case may be, immediately prior to such action
(and, in such event, X or its successor or transferee, as appropriate,
will be the Affected Party); or
(v) Additional Termination Event. If any "Additional Termination Event" is
specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the occurrence
of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or Affected Parties
shall be as specified for such Additional Termination Event in the
Schedule or such Confirmation).
(c) Event of Default and Illegality. If an event or circumstance which would
otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes an
Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute an Event
of Default.
5. Early Termination
(a) Right to Terminate Following Event of Default. If at any time an Event of
Default with respect to a party (the "Defaulting Party") has occurred and is
then continuing, the other party (the "Non-defaulting Party") may, by not more
than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of
Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an
Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions. If, however,
"Automatic Early Termination" is specified in the Schedule as applying to a
party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding transactions
will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an
Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (5), (6) or, to the
extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately preceding the
institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant
petition upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default
specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8).
(b) Right to Terminate Following Termination Event.
(i) Notice. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will,
promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the
nature of that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction and will
also give such other information about that Termination Event as the other
party may reasonably require.
(ii) Transfer to Avoid Termination Event. If either an Illegality under
Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only one Affected
Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is the
Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right to
designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all
reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss,
excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within 20 days
after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations
under this Agreement in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of
its Offices or Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist.
If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give
notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period,
whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days after
the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i).
Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject
to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party,
which consent will not be withheld if such other party's policies in
effect at such time would permit it to enter into transactions with the
transferee on the terms proposed.
(iii) Two Affected Parties. If an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a
Tax Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each party will use
all reasonable efforts to reach agreement within 30 days after notice
thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid that Termination
Event.
(iv) Right to Terminate. If: --
(1) a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under Section
6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has not been effected with respect to
all Affected Transactions within 30 days after an Affected Party
gives notice under Section 6(b)(i); or
(2) an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a Credit Event Upon
Merger or an Additional Termination Event occurs, or a Tax Event
Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is not the Affected Party,
either party in the case of an Illegality, the Burdened Party in the case
of a Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a Tax Event
or an Additional Termination Event if there is more than one Affected
Party, or the party which is not the Affected Party in the case of a
Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event if there is
only one Affected Party may, by not more than 20 days notice to the other
party and provided that the relevant Termination Event is then continuing,
designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an
Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions.
(c) Effect of Designation.
(i) If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section
6(a) or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so
designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or Termination
Event is then continuing.
(ii) Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination
Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) in
respect of the Terminated Transactions will be required to be made, but
without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement. The amount,
if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date shall be
determined pursuant to Section 6(e).
(d) Calculations.
(i) Statement. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the
occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the
calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and will
provide to the other party a statement (1) showing, in reasonable detail,
such calculations (including all relevant quotations and specifying any
amount payable under Section 6(e)) and (2) giving details of the relevant
account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of
written confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained in
determining a Market Quotation, the records of the party obtaining such
quotation will be conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of
such quotation.
(ii) Payment Date. An amount calculated as being due in respect of any
Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day that
notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early
Termination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of
Default) and on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on
which notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early
Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination Event).
Such amount will be paid together with (to the extent permitted under
applicable law) interest thereon (before as well as after judgment) in the
Termination Currency, from (and including) the relevant Early Termination
Date to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid, at the Applicable
Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding
and the actual number of days elapsed.
(e) Payments on Early Termination. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the
following provisions shall apply based on the parties' election in the
Schedule of a payment measure, either "Market Quotation" or "Loss", and a
payment method, either the "First Method" or the "Second Method". If the
parties fail to designate a payment measure or payment method in the
Schedule, it will be deemed that "Market Quotation" or the "Second
Method", as the case may be, shall apply. The amount, if any, payable in
respect of an Early Termination Date and determined pursuant to this
Section will be subject to any Set-off.
(i) Events of Default. If the Early Termination Date results from an Event
of Default: --
(1) First Method and Market Quotation. If the First Method and
Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the
Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number, of (A) the
sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting
Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination
Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the
Non-defaulting Party over (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of
the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party.
(2) First Method and Loss. If the First Method and Loss apply, the
Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party, if a positive
number, the Non-Defaulting Party's Loss in respect of this
Agreement.
(3) Second Method and Market Quotation. If the Second Method and
Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal to (A) the
sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting
Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination
Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the
Non-defaulting Party less (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of
the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. If that amount is
a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the
Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting
Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting
Party.
(4) Second Method and Loss. If the Second Method and Loss apply, an
amount will be payable equal to the Non-defaulting Party's Loss in
respect of this Agreement. If that amount is a positive number, the
Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a
negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute
value of that amount to the Defaulting Party.
(ii) Termination Events. If the Early Termination Date results from a
Termination Event: --
(1) One Affected Party. If there is one Affected Party, the amount
payable will be determined in accordance with Section 6(e)(i)(3), if
Market Quotation applies, or Section 6(e)(i)(4), if Loss applies,
except that, in either case, references to the Defaulting Party and
to the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to be references to the
Affected Party and the party which is not the Affected Party,
respectively, and, if Loss applies and fewer than all the
Transactions are being terminated, Loss shall be calculated in
respect of all Terminated Transactions.
(2) Two Affected Parties. If there are two Affected Parties: --
(A) if Market Quotation applies, each party will determine a
Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated Transactions,
and an amount will be payable equal to (I) the sum of (a)
one-half of the difference between the Settlement Amount of
the party with the higher Settlement Amount ("X") and the
Settlement Amount of the party with the lower Settlement
Amount ("Y") and (b) the Termination Currency Equivalent of
the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (II) the Termination
Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y; and
(B) if Loss applies, each party will determine its Loss in
respect of this Agreement (or, if fewer than all the
Transactions are being terminated, in respect of all
Terminated Transactions) and an amount will be payable equal
to one-half of the difference between the Loss of the party
with the higher Loss ("X") and the Loss of the party with the
lower Loss ("Y").
If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if
it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of that
amount to Y.
(iii) Adjustment for Bankruptcy. In circumstances where an Early
Termination Date occurs because "Automatic Early Termination" applies in
respect of a party, the amount determined under this Section 6(e) will be
subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by law to
reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under
this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the period from
the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined
under Section 6(d)(ii).
(iv) Pre-Estimate. The parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an
amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre-estimate of
loss and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for the loss of bargain and
the loss of protection against future risks and except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement neither party will be entitled to recover any
additional damages as a consequence of such losses.
6. Transfer
Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), neither this Agreement nor any interest or
obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of
security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the
other party, except that: --
(a) a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a
consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all
or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any
other right or remedy under this Agreement); and
(b) a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any
amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e).
Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be void.
7. Contractual Currency
(a) Payment in the Contractual Currency. Each payment under this Agreement will
be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for that payment
(the "Contractual Currency"). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any
obligation to make payments under this Agreement in the Contractual Currency
will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in any currency other than the
Contractual Currency, except to the extent such tender results in the actual
receipt by the party to which payment is owed, acting in a reasonable manner and
in good faith in converting the currency so tendered into the Contractual
Currency, of the full amount in the Contractual Currency of all amounts payable
in respect of this Agreement. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual
Currency so received falls short of the amount in the Contractual Currency
payable in respect of this Agreement, the party required to make the payment
will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately pay such additional
amount in the Contractual Currency as may be necessary to compensate for the
shortfall. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received
exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this
Agreement, the party receiving the payment will refund promptly the amount of
such excess.
(b) Judgments. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or
order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency is rendered
(i) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, (ii) for
the payment of any amount relating to any early termination in respect of this
Agreement or (iii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the
payment of any amount described in (i) or (ii) above, the party seeking
recovery, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which such party is
entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive
immediately from the other party the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual
Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other
currency and will refund promptly to the other party any excess of the
Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in
such other currency if such shortfall or such excess arises or results from any
variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is
converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of such
judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting
in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency received
into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with the
amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by such party.
The term "rate of exchange" includes, without limitation, any premiums and costs
of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the
Contractual Currency.
(c) Separate Indemnities. To the extent permitted by applicable law, these
indemnities constitute separate and independent obligations from the other
obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as separate and independent
causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the party
to which any payment is owed and will not be affected by judgment being obtained
or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable in respect of this
Agreement.
(d) Evidence of Loss. For the purpose of this Section 8, it will be sufficient
for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual
exchange or purchase been made.
8. Miscellaneous
(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement and
understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes
all oral communication and prior writings with respect thereto.
(b) Amendments. No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this
Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a writing evidenced by
a facsimile transmission) and executed by each of the parties or confirmed by an
exchange of telexes or electronic messages on an electronic messaging system.
(c) Survival of Obligations. Without prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and
6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive the
termination of any Transaction.
(d) Remedies Cumulative. Except as provided in this Agreement, the rights,
powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and
not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided by law.
(e) Counterparts and Confirmations.
(i) This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect
of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by
facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original.
(ii) The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each
Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally or
otherwise). A Confirmation shall be entered into as soon as practicable
and may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile
transmission) or be created by an exchange of telexes or by an exchange of
electronic messages on an electronic messaging system, which in each case
will be sufficient for all purposes to evidence a binding supplement to
this Agreement. The parties will specify therein or through another
effective means that any such counterpart, telex or electronic message
constitutes a Confirmation.
(f) No Waiver of Rights. A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or
privilege in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a
waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will
not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise, of that right,
power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
(g) Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken into
consideration in interpreting this Agreement.
9. Offices; Multibranch Parties
(a) If Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each party that
enters into a Transaction through an Office other than its head or home office
represents to the other party that, notwithstanding the place of booking office
or jurisdiction of incorporation or organisation of such party, the obligations
of such party are the same as if it had entered into the Transaction through its
head or home office. This representation will be deemed to be repeated by such
party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into.
(b) Neither party may change the Office through which it makes and receives
payments or deliveries for the purpose of a Transaction without the prior
written consent of the other party.
(c) If a party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule, such
Multibranch Party may make and receive payments or deliveries under any
Transaction through any Office listed in the Schedule, and the Office through
which it makes and receives payments or deliveries with respect to a Transaction
will be specified in the relevant Confirmation.
10. Expenses
A Defaulting Party will, on demand, indemnify and hold harmless the other party
for and against all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees and
Stamp Tax, incurred by such other party by reason of the enforcement and
protection of its rights under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to
which the Defaulting Party is a party or by reason of the early termination of
any Transaction, including, but not limited to, costs of collection.
11. Notices
(a) Effectiveness. Any notice or other communication in respect of this
Agreement may be given in any manner set forth below (except that a notice or
other communication under Section 5 or 6 may not be given by facsimile
transmission or electronic messaging system) to the address or number or in
accordance with the electronic messaging system details provided (see the
Schedule) and will be deemed effective as indicated:--
(i) if in writing and delivered in person or by courier, on the date it is
delivered;
(ii) if sent by xxxxx, on the date the recipient's answerback is received;
(iii) if sent by facsimile transmission, on the date that transmission is
received by a responsible employee of the recipient in legible form (it
being agreed that the burden of proving receipt will be on the sender and
will not be met by a transmission report generated by the sender's
facsimile machine);
(iv) if sent by certified or registered mail (airmail, if overseas) or the
equivalent (return receipt requested), on the date that mail is delivered
or its delivery is attempted; or
(v) if sent by electronic messaging system, on the date that electronic
message is received,
unless the date of that delivery (or attempted delivery) or that receipt, as
applicable, is not a Local Business Day or that communication is delivered (or
attempted) or received, as applicable, after the close of business on a Local
Business Day, in which case that communication shall be deemed given and
effective on the first following day that is a Local Business Day.
(b) Change of Addresses. Either party may by notice to the other change the
address, telex or facsimile number or electronic messaging system details at
which notices or other communications are to be given to it.
12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
(a) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the law specified in the Schedule.
(b) Jurisdiction. With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to
this Agreement ("Proceedings"), each party irrevocably:--
(i) submits to the jurisdiction of the English courts, if this Agreement
is expressed to be governed by English law, or to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States
District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, if
this Agreement is expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New
York; and
(ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of
venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that
such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further
waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such
court does not have any jurisdiction over such party.
Nothing in this Agreement precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in
any other jurisdiction (outside, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed
by English law, the Contracting States, as defined in Section 1(3) of the Civil
Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 or any modification, extension or
re-enactment thereof for the time being in force) nor will the bringing of
Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of
Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.
(c) Service of Process. Each party irrevocably appoints the Process Agent (if
any) specified opposite its name in the Schedule to receive, for it and on its
behalf, service of process in any Proceedings. If for any reason any party's
Process Agent is unable to act as such, such party will promptly notify the
other party and within 30 days appoint a substitute process agent acceptable to
the other party. The parties irrevocably consent to service of process given in
the manner provided for notices in Section 12. Nothing in this Agreement will
affect the right of either party to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law.
(d) Waiver of Immunities. Each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, with respect to itself and its revenues and assets
(irrespective of their use or intended use), all immunity on the grounds of
sovereignty or other similar grounds from (i) suit, (ii) jurisdiction of any
court, (iii) relief by way of injunction, order for specific performance or for
recovery of property, (iv) attachment of its assets (whether before or after
judgment) and (v) execution or enforcement of any judgment to which it or its
revenues or assets might otherwise be entitled in any Proceedings in the courts
of any jurisdiction and irrevocably agrees, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, that it will not claim any such immunity in any Proceedings.

"Loss" means, with respect to this Agreement or one or more Terminated
Transactions, as the case may be, and a party, the Termination Currency
Equivalent of an amount that party reasonably determines in good faith to be its
total losses and costs (or gain, in which case expressed as a negative number)
in connection with this Agreement or that Terminated Transaction or group of
Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, including any loss of bargain, cost
of funding or, at the election of such party but without duplication, loss or
cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or
reestablishing any hedge or related trading position (or any gain resulting from
any of them). Loss includes losses and costs (or gains) in respect of any
payment or delivery required to have been made (assuming satisfaction of each
applicable condition precedent) on or before the relevant Early Termination Date
and not made, except so as to avoid duplication, if Section 6(e)(i)(l) or (3) or
6(e)(ii)(2)(A) applies. Loss does not include a party's legal fees and
out-of-pocket expenses referred to under Section 11. A party will determine its

practicable, as of the earliest date thereafter as is reasonably practicable. A
party may (but need not) determine its Loss by reference to quotations of
relevant rates or prices from one or more leading dealers in the relevant
markets.
"Market Quotation" means, with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions
and a party making the determination, an amount determined on the basis of
quotations from Reference Market-makers. Each quotation will be for an amount,
if any, that would be paid to such party (expressed as a negative number) or by
such party (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of an agreement
between such party (taking into account any existing Credit Support Document
with a respect to the obligations of such party) and the quoting Reference
Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the "Replacement Transaction") that
would have the effect of preserving for such party the economic equivalent of
any payment or delivery (whether the underlying obligation was absolute or
contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent)
by the parties under Section 2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated Transaction
or group of Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the
relevant Early Termination Date, have been required after that date. For this
purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction or group of
Terminated Transactions are to be excluded but, without limitation, any payment
or delivery that would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have been
required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) after
that Early Termination Date is to be included. The Replacement Transaction would
be subject to such determination as such party and the Reference Market-maker
may, in good faith, agree. The party making the determination (or its agent)
will request each Reference Market-maker to provide its quotation to the extent
reasonably practicable as of the same day and time (without regard to different
time zones) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Early
Termination Date. The day and time as of which those quotations are to be
obtained will be selected in good faith by the party obliged to make a
determination under Section 6(e), and, if each party is so obliged, after
consultation with the other. If more than three quotations are provided, the
Market Quotation will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, without regard
to the quotations having the highest and lowest values. If exactly three such
quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the quotation remaining
after disregarding the highest and lowest quotations. For this purpose, if more
than one quotation has the same highest value or lowest value, then one of such
quotations shall be disregarded. If fewer than three quotations are provided, it
will be deemed that the Market Quotation in respect of such Terminated
Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions cannot be determined.
"Non-default Rate" means a rate per annum equal to the cost (without proof or
evidence of any actual cost) to the Non-defaulting Party (as certified by it) if
it were to fund the relevant amount.

"Office" means a branch or office of a party, which may be such party's head or
home office.
"Potential Event of Default" means any event which, with the giving of notice or
the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default.
"Reference Market-makers" means four leading dealers in the relevant market
selected by the party determining a Market Quotation in good faith (a) from
among dealers of the highest credit standing which satisfy all the criteria that
such party applies generally at the time in deciding whether to offer or to make
an extension of credit and (b) to the extent practicable, from among such
dealers having an office in the same city.
"Relevant Jurisdiction" means, with respect to a party, the jurisdictions (a) in
which the party is incorporated, organised, managed and controlled or considered
to have its seat, (b) where an Office through which the party is acting for
purposes of this Agreement is located, (c) in which the party executes this
Agreement and (d) its relation to any payment, from or through which such
payment is made.
"Scheduled Payment Date" means a date on which a payment or delivery is to be
made under Section 2(a)(i) with respect to a Transaction.
"Set-off" means set-off, offset, combination of accounts, right of retention or
withholding or similar right or requirement to which the payer of an amount
under Section 6 is entitled or subject (whether arising under this Agreement,
another contract, applicable law or otherwise) that is exercised by, or imposed
on, such payer.
"Settlement Amount" means, with respect to a party and any Early Termination
Date, the sum of: --
(a) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Market Quotations (whether
positive or negative) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions for which a Market Quotation is determined; and
(b) such party's Loss (whether positive or negative and without reference to any
Unpaid Amounts) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions for which a Market Quotation cannot be determined or would not (in
the reasonable belief of the party making the determination) produce a
commercially reasonable result.

"Specified Indebtedness" means, subject to the Schedule, any obligation (whether
present or future, contingent or otherwise, as principal or surety or otherwise)
in respect of borrowed money.
"Specified Transaction" means, subject to the Schedule, (a) any transaction
(including an agreement with respect thereto) now existing or hereafter entered
into between one party to this Agreement (or any Credit Support Provider of such
party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party) and the other party to
this Agreement (or any Credit Support Provider of such other party or any
applicable Specified Entity of such other party) which is a rate swap
transaction, basis swap, forward rate transaction, commodity swap, commodity
option, equity or equity index swap, equity or equity index option, bond option,
interest rate option, foreign exchange transaction, cap transaction, floor
transaction, collar transaction, currency swap transaction, cross-currency rate
swap transaction, currency option or any other similar transaction (including
any option with respect to any of these transactions), (b) any combination of
these transactions and (c) any other transaction identified as a Specified
Transaction in this Agreement or the relevant confirmation.
"Stamp Tax" means any stamp, registration, documentation or similar tax.
"Tax" means any present or future tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, assessment or

tax.

Termination Date (or, if "Automatic Early Termination" applies, immediately
before that Early Termination Date).
"Termination Currency" has the meaning specified in the Schedule.
"Termination Currency Equivalent" means, in respect of any amount denominated in
the Termination Currency, such Termination Currency amount and, in respect of
any amount denominated in a currency other than the Termination Currency (the
"Other Currency"), the amount in the Termination Currency determined by the
party making the relevant determination as being required to purchase such
amount of such Other Currency as at the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if
the relevant Market Quotation or Loss (as the case may be), is determined as of
a later date, that later date, with the Termination Currency at the rate equal

Termination Date and which remain unpaid as at such Early Termination Date and
(b) in respect of each Terminated Transaction, for each obligation under Section

settled by delivery to such party on or prior to such Early Termination Date and
which has not been so settled as at such Early Termination Date, an amount equal
to the fair market value of that which was (or would have been) required to be
delivered as of the originally scheduled date for delivery, in each ease
together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law) interest, in the
currency of such amounts, from (and including) the date such amounts or
obligations were or would have been required to have been paid or performed to

amounts of interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the
actual number of days elapsed. The fair market value of any obligation referred

current rating of the Certificates.
(ii) In the event that Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx or a replacement counterparty,
or an entity that guarantees the obligations of Party A or a
replacement counterparty, has its rating by S&P withdrawn, has a
rating of less than "BBB-" or "A-3", if applicable, by S&P, a rating

for any reason, the remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and
conditions hereof shall continue in full force and effect as if this
Agreement had been executed with the invalid or unenforceable
portion eliminated, so long as this Agreement as so modified
continues to express, without material change, the original
intentions of the parties as to the subject matter of this Agreement
and the deletion of such portion of this Agreement will not
substantially impair the respective benefits or expectations of the
parties; provided, however, that nothing in this provision shall
adversely affect the rights of each party under this Agreement; and
provided further that this severability provision shall not be
applicable if any provision of Section 1, 2, 5, 6, or 13 (or any
definition or provision in Section 14 to the extent it relates to,
or is used in or connection with any such Section) shall be so held
to be invalid or unenforceable. The parties shall endeavor to engage
in good faith negotiations to replace any invalid or unenforceable
term, provision, covenant or condition with a valid or enforceable
term, provision, covenant or condition, the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid or unenforceable
term, provision, covenant or condition.

excess of four times during any 12 month period. Where more than one
quotation is obtained, the quotation representing the greatest
