If permitted by Regulation AB, any required Swap Financial Disclosure may be provided by incorporation by reference from reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act.
The parties agree that the Depositor and Saxon Mortgage, Inc., in its capacity as sponsor, are third-party beneficiaries to Party A’s undertakings under this paragraph.
