with

written instructions shall not be required.
17
Section
2.05 Books
and Records.
The
sale
of each Mortgage Loan has been reflected on the Company's balance sheet and

be responsible for causing the Originator to maintain, and Originator shall
maintain, a complete set of books and records for the Mortgage Loans that
shall
be appropriately identified in the Originator’s computer system to clearly
reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loan by the Purchaser. In particular,
the
Company shall maintain in its control, available for inspection by the

evidence of compliance with all federal, state and local laws, rules and
regulations, and requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, as applicable,

with the terms hereof. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall

or
any Mortgage Loan unless a notice of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan has
been
delivered to the Company in accordance with this Section 2.06 and the books
and
records of the Company show such Person as the owner of the Mortgage Loan.
The
Purchaser may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, sell and transfer
one or
more of the Mortgage Loans in either a Whole Loan Transfer or a Pass-Through
Transfer. In the event that the Purchaser sells and transfers one or more
of the
Mortgage Loans in a Pass-Through Transfer, Purchaser will use its best efforts
to cause the trustee to execute on behalf of the securitization trust an
original counterpart of the instrument of transfer in an Assignment and
Assumption of this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto;
provided, the sale and transfer by Purchaser will be effective even if Purchaser
fails to cause the trustee to execute on behalf of the securitization trust
such
an agreement following Purchaser’s best efforts to do so. In the event that the
Purchaser sells and transfers one or more of the Mortgage Loans in a Whole
Loan
Transfer, the transferee will not be deemed to be a Purchaser hereunder binding
upon the Company unless such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound
by
the terms of this Agreement, and an original counterpart of the instrument
of
transfer in an Assignment and Assumption of this Agreement substantially
in the
form of Exhibit D-2 hereto executed by the transferee shall have been delivered
to the Company. The Purchaser also shall advise the Company of each transfer
of
any Mortgage Loan undertaken by the Purchaser, whether it be a Whole Loan
Transfer or a Pass-Through Transfer. Upon receipt of notice of a transfer,

respect
to the Mortgage Loans sold or transferred.

original recorded documents, to the Purchaser or its designee (unless the
Company is delayed in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such
documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office).
If
delivery is not completed within 270 days solely due to delays in making
such
delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned
by the appropriate recording office, Company shall cause to be delivered
such
document to Purchaser, or its designee, within such time period as specified
in
a Company's Officer's Certificate. In the event that documents have not been

subsequent Company's Officer's Certificate shall be delivered by such date
specified in the prior Company's Officer's Certificate, stating a revised
date
for receipt of documentation. The procedure shall be repeated until the
documents have been received and delivered. If delivery is not completed
within
270 days solely due to delays in making such delivery by reason of the fact
that
such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording
office,
the Company shall continue to use its best efforts to cause delivery as soon
as
possible thereafter, provided that if such documents are not delivered by

Any
review by the Purchaser, or its designee, of the Mortgage Files shall in
no way
alter or reduce the Company's obligations hereunder.
If
the
Purchaser or its designee discovers any defect with respect to a Mortgage
File,
the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee to, give written specification
of such defect to the Company which may be given in the exception report
or the

and the Company shall cure or repurchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance
with

shall
provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy
of such

document, and provided that during the time that any such documentation is
held
by the Company or Servicer, such possession is in trust for the benefit of

against
any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, costs

application affecting the rights of creditors, and all requisite corporate
action has been taken by the Company to make this Agreement and the related
Term
Sheet and all agreements contemplated hereby valid and binding upon the Company
in accordance with their terms;
(c)
Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the related Term
Sheet,
nor the purchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Company, the sale of the Mortgage
Loans to the Purchaser, the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, or the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions
of
this Agreement and the related Term Sheet will conflict with any of the terms,
conditions or provisions of the Company's charter or by-laws or materially
conflict with or result in a material breach of any of the terms, conditions
or
provisions of any legal restriction or any agreement or instrument to which
the
Company 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 material
violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which
the
Company or its properties are subject, or impair the ability of the Purchaser
to
realize on the Mortgage Loans.
(d)
There
is no litigation, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best
of
Company’s knowledge, threatened, or any order or decree outstanding, with
respect to the Company which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate,
is
reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the sale of the Mortgage
Loans, the execution, delivery, performance or enforceability of this Agreement
and the related Term Sheet, or which is reasonably likely to have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.
(e)
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 this Agreement or the related Term Sheet,
or
the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery of the Mortgage Files to the
Purchaser or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or the related Term Sheet, except for consents, approvals, authorizations
and
orders which have been obtained;
22
(f)
The
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the related
Term Sheet is in the ordinary course of business of the Company, and the
transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages
by
the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the related Term Sheet are not
subject
to bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable
jurisdiction;
(g)
The
origination practices used by the Originator with respect to each Mortgage
Note
and Mortgage have been legal and in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations and the Mortgage Loan Documents, and in all material respects
proper
and prudent in the mortgage origination business. The servicing practices
used
by the Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been
legal
and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and the Mortgage Loan
Documents, and in all material respects proper and prudent in the mortgage
servicing business. Each Mortgage Loan has been serviced in all material
respects with Accepted Servicing Practices. With respect to escrow deposits
and
payments that the Servicer, on behalf of an investor, is entitled to collect,
all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the
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. As to any Mortgage
Loan that is the subject of an escrow, escrow of funds is not prohibited
by
applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for
every
escrowed item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due
and
payable. No escrow deposits or other charges or payments due under the Mortgage
Note have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage
Note;
(h)
The
Company used no selection procedures that identified the Mortgage Loans as
being
less desirable or valuable than other comparable mortgage loans in the Company's
portfolio at the related Cut-off Date;
(i) The
Company will treat the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser as a sale
for
reporting and accounting purposes and, to the extent appropriate, for federal
income tax purposes;
(j) Servicer
is an approved servicer of residential mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxx
Mac or HUD, with such facilities, procedures and personnel necessary for
the
sound servicing of such mortgage loans. The Servicer is duly qualified,
licensed, registered and otherwise authorized under all applicable federal,
state and local laws, and regulations, if applicable, meets the minimum capital
requirements set forth by the OCC, and is in good standing to service mortgage
loans for Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and no event has occurred which would
make
Servicer unable to comply with said eligibility requirements or which would
require notification to either Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac;
(k) The
Company does not believe, nor does it have any cause or reason to believe,
that
it cannot perform each and every of its covenants contained in this Agreement
or
the related Term Sheet. The Company is solvent and the sale of the Mortgage
Loans will not cause the Company to become insolvent. The sale of the Mortgage
Loans is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of
the
Company's creditors;
23
(l) No
statement, tape, diskette, form, report or other document prepared by, or
on
behalf of, Company pursuant to this Agreement or the related Term Sheet or
in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, contains or will contain
any statement that is or will be inaccurate or misleading in any material
respect;
(m)
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the Servicing Fee represents reasonable
compensation for the Company causing the Servicer to perform such services
and
that the entire Servicing Fee shall be treated by the Company, for accounting
and tax purposes, as compensation for causing Servicer to service and administer
the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement. In the opinion of Company,
the
consideration received by Company upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to
Purchaser under this Agreement and the related Term Sheet constitutes fair
consideration for the Mortgage Loans under current market conditions.
(n)
Company
has delivered to the Purchaser financial statements for its last two complete
fiscal years. All such financial information fairly presents the pertinent
results of operations and financial position for the period identified and
has
been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the
periods involved, except as set forth in the notes thereto. There has been
no
change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets
of
the Company since the date of the Company’s financial information that would
have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations
under
this Agreement;
(o)
If
the Company has dealt with any third party broker, investment banker, agent
or
other person entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with
the
sale of the Mortgage Loans, then the Company is solely responsible for payment
of the commission or compensation. The Company will indemnify the Purchaser
if
any Person makes claim against the Purchaser for payment of any commission
or
compensation in connection with the sale of Mortgage Loans as a result of
that
Person’s dealings with the Company.
Section
3.02 Representations
and Warranties as to Individual Mortgage Loans.
References
in this Section to percentages of Mortgage Loans refer in each case to the
percentage of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
as of
the related Cut-off Date, based on the outstanding Stated Principal Balances
of
the Mortgage Loans as of the related Cut-off Date, and giving effect to
scheduled Monthly Payments due on or prior to the related Cut-off Date, whether
or not received. References to percentages of Mortgaged Properties refer,
in
each case, to the percentages of expected aggregate Stated Principal Balances
of
the related Mortgage Loans (determined as described in the preceding sentence).
The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as to each Mortgage
Loan, as of the related Closing Date as follows:
24
(a)
The
information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the related
Term
Sheet is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the related
Cut-Off Date;
(b) The
Mortgage creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien or a first
priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple in real property securing
the related Mortgage Note subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy,
insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of
creditors;
(c)
All
payments due prior to the related Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan have
been
made as of the related Closing Date; the Mortgage Loan has not been dishonored;
there are no material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan; the
Servicer has not advanced its own funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly
received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged
Property subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment
of any
amount required by the Mortgage Loan. As of the related Closing Date, all
of the
Mortgage Loans will have an actual Interest Paid to Date of their related
Cut-off Date (or later) and will be due for the scheduled monthly payment
next
succeeding the Cut-off Date (or later), as evidenced by a posting to Servicer’s
servicing collection system. No payment under any Mortgage Loan is delinquent
as
of the related Closing Date nor has any scheduled payment been delinquent
at any
time during the twelve (12) months prior to the month of the related Closing
Date. For purposes of this paragraph, a Mortgage Loan will be deemed delinquent
if any payment due thereunder was not paid by the Mortgagor in the month
such
payment was due;
(d)
There
are no defaults by Servicer 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 escrow funds have been established in an amount
sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which
has been assessed but is not yet due and payable;
(e)
The
terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived,
altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have
been recorded to the extent any such recordation is required by law, or,
necessary to protect the interest of the Purchaser. No instrument of waiver,
alteration or modification has been executed except in connection with a
modification agreement and which modification agreement is part of the Mortgage
File and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule,
and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof
except in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption agreement
is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the
related
Mortgage Loan Schedule; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or
modification has been approved by the issuer of any related Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy, Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and title insurance
policy, to the extent required by the related policies;
(f)
The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense
of
usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or
the
Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note
or
Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury,
and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been
asserted with respect thereto; and as of the related Closing Date the Mortgagor
was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding;
25
(g)
All
buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property
are insured by an insurer acceptable under the Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac
Guide,
against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards
as are
provided for in the Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac Guide, as well as all additional
requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. All such standard
hazard policies are in full force and effect and contain a standard mortgagee
clause naming the Company and its successors in interest and assigns as loss
payee and such clause is still in effect and all premiums due thereon have
been
paid. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended,
the
Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements
of
the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration which policy
conforms to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements, as well as all additional
requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. Such policy was
issued
by an insurer acceptable under Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac guidelines. The
Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance
at
the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so,
authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the
Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor. Neither the Company (nor any prior originator or servicer of any
of
the Mortgage Loans) nor any Mortgagor has engaged in any act or omission
which
has impaired or would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits
of
the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of
either;
(h)
Any
and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without
limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, predatory, abusive lending, real estate
settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity
or
disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with in
all
material respects; none of the Mortgage Loans are (a) subject to the Home
Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994, (b) classified as “high cost”,
“threshold”, “predatory”, “high risk home” or “covered” loan under any other
applicable state, federal or local law, or (c) similarly classified using
different terminology under a law imposing heightened regulatory scrutiny
or
additional legal liability for residential mortgage loans having high interest
rates, points and/or fees; the Servicer maintains, and shall maintain, evidence
of such compliance as required by applicable law or regulation and Company
shall
make such evidence available for inspection at the Servicer’s office during
normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice;
(i)
The
Mortgage has not been satisfied in whole or canceled or subordinated, in
whole
or in part, or rescinded, 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 Company has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of
any
action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the
Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Company waived any default resulting
from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;
26
(j) The
Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on
the
Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and
all
installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning
systems affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and
replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing securing the
Mortgage Note's original principal balance subject to principles of equity,
bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the
rights of creditors. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any
evidence of any security interest or other interest or right thereto. Such
lien
is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority
over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only to (1) the lien of
non-delinquent current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and
payable, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements
and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording which
are
acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either (A) which
are
referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator
or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage
Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the residential use or Appraised
Value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, and (3) other
matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not individually
or in the aggregate materially interfere with the benefits of the security
intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement,
chattel
mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with
the
Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and
perfected first lien and first priority security interest on the property
described therein, and the Company has the full right to sell and assign
the
same to the Purchaser;
(k)
The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each
is the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in
all
respects in accordance with its terms subject to principles of equity,
bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the
rights of creditors, and the Company has taken all action necessary to transfer
such rights of enforceability to the Purchaser. All parties to the Mortgage
Note
and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and
to
execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The Mortgage Loan
Documents are on forms acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Mortgage
Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties.
No
fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence
with
respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of Company or the
Mortgagor, or on the part of any other party involved in the origination
or
servicing of the Mortgage Loan. 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
improvements 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;
27
(l)
The
Company is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness
evidenced by the Mortgage Note. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the
Purchaser, either the Company or the Servicer will retain the Mortgage File
or
any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Purchaser or the
Purchaser’s designee in trust only for the purpose of servicing the Mortgage
Loan. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Purchaser,
the
Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not subject
to
an assignment, sale or pledge to any person other than Purchaser, and the
Company had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof and
had
full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and
clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security
interest (subject to the exceptions contained in (j)(1), (2) and (3) above)
and
has the full right and authority subject to no interest or participation
of, or
agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the Mortgage Loan pursuant
to this Agreement and following the sale of the 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
(subject to the exceptions contained in (j)(1), (2) and (3) above). The Company
intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage
Loan, except for the purposes of causing Servicer to service the Mortgage
Loan
as set forth in this Agreement. After the related Closing Date, the Company
will
not have any right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage
Loan
and the Company will not have any obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage
Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement,
or as otherwise agreed to by the Company and the Purchaser;
(m)
Each
Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other
generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx
or
Xxxxxxx Mac (including adjustable rate endorsements), issued by a title insurer
acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to
the
exceptions contained in (j)(1), (2) and (3) above) the Company, its successors
and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and against any loss by reason of the
invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions
of the
Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly
Payment. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively
insures ingress and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property and against
encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein.
Where
required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the
opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance.
The
Company, its successors and assigns, is the sole insured of such lender's
title
insurance policy, such title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed
to the Purchaser or the assignment to the Purchaser of the Company's interest
therein does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer and
such
lender's title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in
full
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 or servicer of the related Mortgage, including the Company,
nor any Mortgagor, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair
the
coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;
(n)
There
is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under
the
Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage
of
time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would
constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration;
and
neither the Company, nor any prior mortgagee has waived any default, breach,
violation or event permitting acceleration;
28
(o)
There
are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work,
labor or material (and the Company is not aware of any rights that 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 to the lien
of
the related Mortgage;
(p)
All
improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining
the
appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries
and
building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the
project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured
against by the title insurance policy referred to in clause (m) above and
all
improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision
laws and ordinances;
(q)
Each
Mortgage Loan was originated in conformity with the underwriting guidelines
as
described in Exhibit H hereto. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at an adjustable
rate (if applicable) as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule,
and
Monthly Payments under the Mortgage Note are due and payable on the first
day of
each month. The Mortgage contains the usual and enforceable provisions of
the
Originator at the time of origination for the acceleration of the payment
of the
unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property
is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder;
(r)
The
Mortgaged Property is not subject to any material damage. At origination
of the
Mortgage Loan there was not, since origination of the Mortgage Loan there
has
not been, and there currently is no proceeding pending for the total or partial
condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Company has not received
notification that any such proceedings are scheduled to commence at a future
date;
(s)
The
related 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, (1) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by
trustee's sale, and (2) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead
or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with
the
right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to
foreclose the Mortgage;
(t)
If
the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly
qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has been properly
designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees
or
expenses, except as may be required by local law, are or will become payable
by
the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection
with
a trustee's sale or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor;
29
(u)
The
Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed
prior to the final 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 Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and
Title
XI of the Federal 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. The appraisal is in a form acceptable to Xxxxxx
Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac;
(v)
All
parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee,
assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they
held
and disposed of such interest, were) (A) in compliance with any and all
applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged
Property is located, and (B) (1) organized under the laws of such state,
or (2)
qualified to do business in such state, or (3) federal savings and loan
associations or national banks or a Federal Home Loan Bank or savings bank
or
federally chartered credit union or state chartered credit union having
principal offices in such state, or (4) not doing business in such
state;
(w)
The
related 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 above and such
collateral does not serve as security for any other obligation;
(x)
The
Mortgagor has received and has executed, where applicable, all disclosure
materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of such mortgage
loans;
(y)
No
Mortgage Loan is subject to a buydown agreement or contains any buydown
provision;
(z)
The
Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy and, the Mortgagor is not insolvent and the
Company has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect
to the
Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit
standing that could reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the
Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become
delinquent, or materially adversely affect the value or marketability of
the
Mortgage Loan;
(aa)
Each
Mortgage Loan bears interest based upon a thirty (30) day month and a three
hundred and sixty (360) day year. The Mortgage Loans have an original term
to
maturity of not more than thirty (30) years, with interest payable in arrears
on
the first day of each month. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, on
each
applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted to
equal
the sum of the Index, plus the applicable Margin; provided, that the Mortgage
Interest Rate, on each applicable Adjustment Date, will not increase by more
than the Initial Rate Cap or Periodic Rate Cap, as applicable. Over the term
of
each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Interest Rate will not exceed
such Mortgage Loan's Lifetime Rate Cap. None of the Mortgage Loans are
“interest-only” Mortgage Loans or “negative amortization” Mortgage Loans. With
respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, each Xxxx-xxxx Note requires
a
monthly payment which is suffi-cient (a) during the period prior to the first
adjust-ment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize the original
principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the
related Mortgage Interest Rate, and (b) during the period following each
Adjust-ment Date, to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as
of the
first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note
and
to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each
adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note provides that when the Mortgage
Interest Rate changes on an Adjustment Date, the then outstanding principal
balance will be reamortized over the remaining life of the Mortgage Loan.
No
Mortgage Loan contains terms or provi-sions which would result in negative
amortization. None of the Mortgage Loans contain a conversion feature which
would cause the Mortgage Loan interest rate to convert to a fixed interest
rate.
None of the Mortgage Loans are considered agricultural loans;
30
(bb)
No
Mortgagor was required to purchase any credit life, disability, accident
or
health insurance product as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit.
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 Loans.

(hh) Any
Mortgage Loan with an LTV at origination over 80.00%, is insured as to payment
defaults by a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer,
and such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be issued in accordance
with
the Xxxxxx Xxx Guide. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV over 95%. All provisions
of
such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with,
such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder
have
been paid. No Mortgage Loan requires payment of such premiums, in whole or
in
part, by the Purchaser. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no
state
of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of,
or
defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy, subject to state and federal law, and to pay all premiums
and
charges in connection therewith. No action has been taken or failed to be
taken,
on or prior to the Closing Date which has resulted or will result in an
exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy (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 Company or the Mortgagor, or for any other reason under such coverage;
The mortgage interest rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium. Any Mortgage

to
maintain the Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and to pay all premiums
and charges in connection therewith;

(jj) None
of
the Mortgage Loans are secured by an interest in a leasehold estate that

single family residence erected thereon, or a townhouse, or a two-to four-family
dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or

purposes, and since the Origination Date, no portion of any Mortgaged Property
has been, or currently is, used for commercial purposes;
(kk) Payments
on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after the funds
were
disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Note is payable
on
the first day of each month in monthly installments of principal and interest,
which installments are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage
Interest Rate on each Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable
in
arrears. Other than a Balloon Mortgage Loan, each of the Mortgage Loans will
amortize fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not
more
than thirty years from commencement of amortization. With respect to each
Balloon Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which
is
sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original
term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate and
requires a final Monthly Payment substantially greater than the preceding
monthly payment which is sufficient to repay the remaining unpaid principal
balance of the Balloon Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date of such monthly
payment;

any
environmental hazard on 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;
(nn) The
Mortgagor has not notified the Company, and the Company has no knowledge

(rr)
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a prepayment penalty feature, each

each
prepayment penalty is permitted pursuant to federal, state and local law.
No
Mortgage Loan will impose a prepayment penalty for a term in excess of three
years from the date such Mortgage Loan was originated. Except as otherwise
set
forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that
contains a prepayment penalty, such prepayment penalty is at least equal
to the
lesser of (A) the maximum amount permitted under applicable law and (B) six
months interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate on the amount prepaid
in
excess of 20% of the original principal balance of such Mortgage
Loan;
(ss)

Property and (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan
were
used to acquire or to improve or protect the Mortgage Property. For the purposes

the
modified Mortgage Loan will be viewed as having been originated on the date
of
the modification;
(tt) Each
Mortgage Loan was originated by a savings and loan association, savings bank,
commercial bank, credit union, insurance company, or mortgage banking company
which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority, or by a
mortgage originator approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.11 of the National Housing Act, or by a credit
union service organization, which
was, at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan, duly organized, validly

Mortgaged Properties are timeshares;
(vv)
All
of the terms of the Mortgage pertaining to interest rate adjustments, payment
adjustments and adjustments of the outstanding principal balance are
enforceable, all such adjustments have been properly made, including the
mailing
of required notices, and such adjustments do not and will not affect the

Section
3.03 Repurchase;
Substitution.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery
of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Purchaser, or its designee, and shall
inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or
qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination,
or
lack of examination, of any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Company
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 in any Mortgage Loan, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. The
Company shall have a period of sixty (60) days from the earlier of its discovery
or its receipt of notice of any such breach within which to correct or cure
such
breach. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that if any such breach is
not
corrected or cured within such sixty day period, the Company shall, at the
Purchaser's option and not later than ninety (90) days of its discovery or
its
receipt of notice of such breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the
Repurchase Price or, with the Purchaser's prior consent and at Purchaser’s sole
option, substitute a Mortgage Loan as provided below. In the event that any
such
breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section
3.01,
such breach is not cured within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either
discovery by or notice to the Company of such breach, and the Purchaser shall
have delivered to the Company, within ninety (90) days following such sixty
(60)
day period, written notice requiring the Company to repurchase the Mortgage
Loans, then all Mortgage Loans shall, at the option of the Purchaser, be
repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase Price. Any such repurchase shall
be
accomplished by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Purchaser
in the
amount of the Repurchase Price.
34
If
the
Company is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section
3.03, the Company may, with the Purchaser's prior consent and at Purchaser’s
sole option, within ninety (90) days from the related Closing Date, remove
such
defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and substitute another
mortgage loan for such defective Mortgage Loan, in lieu of repurchasing such
defective Mortgage Loan. Any substitute Mortgage Loan is subject to Purchaser
acceptability. Any substituted Loans will comply with the representations
and
warranties set forth in this Agreement as of the substitution date
The
Company shall amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal
of the removed Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and the substitution of
such
substitute Mortgage Loan therefor. Upon such amendment, the Purchaser shall
review the Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute Mortgage
Loan. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the substitute
Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal
Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the
Purchaser and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for which
the
substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such
month shall be the property of the Company. The principal payment on a
substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution
shall
be the property of the Company and the principal payment on the Mortgage
Loan
for which the substitution is made due on such date shall be the property
of the
Purchaser.
It
is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Company set forth in this
Section 3.03 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan,
and to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, constitute the sole
remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations
and warranties. If the Company fails to repurchase or substitute for a defective
Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.03, or fails to cure a defective
Mortgage Loan to Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction in accordance with this
Section 3.03, or to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, that failure
shall be an Event of Default and the Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue
all
remedies available in this Agreement as a result thereof. No provision of
this
paragraph shall affect the rights of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement
for cause, as set forth in Sections 10.01 and 11.01.
Any
cause
of action against the Company relating to or arising out of the breach of
any
representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall accrue
as to
any Mortgage Loan upon the earlier of (i) discovery of such breach by the
Company or notice thereof by the Purchaser to the Company, (ii) failure by
the
Company to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified
above,
or (iii) demand upon the Company by the Purchaser for compliance with this
Agreement.
35
In
the
event that any Mortgage Loan is held by a REMIC, notwithstanding any contrary
provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not
in
default or as to which no default is imminent, no substitution pursuant to
Subsection 3.03 shall be made after the applicable REMIC's "start up day"
(as
defined in Section 860G(a) (9) of the Code), unless the Company has obtained
an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not (i) result
in
the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of such REMIC (as defined
in Section 860F of the Code) or otherwise subject the REMIC to tax, or (ii)
cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time.

ARTICLE
IV
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section
4.01 Servicer
and Master Servicer.
The
Company shall cause one or more Servicers to service and administer the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related
Term
Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices, and shall have full power and
authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in
connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may
deem
necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and
the
related Term Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices and exercise the
same
care that it customarily employs for its own account. Except as set forth
in
this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Company shall cause the Servicer
shall service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the servicing
provisions of the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides (special servicing option), which include,
but are not limited to, provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage
Loans,
the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance
and
other charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer,
the
maintenance of mortgage impairment insurance, the maintenance of fidelity
bond
and errors and omissions insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged
Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, insurance claims, the title, management
and
disposition of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property,
liquidation reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged
Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Files,
annual statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event
of
any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing
provisions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and any of the servicing
provisions of the Xxxxxx Mae Guides, the provisions of this Agreement and
the
related Term Sheet shall control and be binding upon the Purchaser, the Company
and the Servicer.
37
Consistent
with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Servicer
may
waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the
postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor
if in the Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver,
modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the
Purchaser, provided, however, that unless the Servicer has obtained the prior
written consent of the Purchaser, the Servicer shall not permit any modification
with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest
Rate,
defer for more than ninety days or forgive any payment of principal or interest,
reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments
of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In
the
event of any such modification which has been agreed to in writing by the
Purchaser and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments
on
any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding
the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest
payment
has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in
accordance with Section 4.04, the difference between (a) such month's principal
and one month's interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the
Mortgagor. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances
to
the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and
is
hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver, all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release,
discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Servicer may not enter into a forbearance agreement
or similar arrangement with respect to any Mortgage Loan which runs more
than
180 days after the first delinquent Due Date. Any such agreement shall be
approved by Purchaser and, if required, by the Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy
insurer and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer, if required.
38
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Mortgage Loan becomes
subject
to a Pass-Through Transfer, the Servicer (a) with respect to such Mortgage
Loan,
shall not permit any modification with respect to such Mortgage Loan that
would
change the Mortgage Interest Rate and (b) shall not (unless the Mortgagor
is in
default with respect to such Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment
of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any modification,
waiver
or amendment of any term of such Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect
an
exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code
(or
Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (ii) cause any 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.
Prior
to
taking any action with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject to a Pass-Through
Transfer, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the
Servicer will obtain an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the trustee in such
Pass-Through Transfer with respect to whether such action could result in
the
imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (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)(either
such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”), and the Servicer shall not take any such
actions as to which it has been advised that an Adverse REMIC Event could
occur.
The
Servicer shall not permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of
Section 860G of the Code) in any REMIC. The Servicer shall not enter into
any
arrangement by which a REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for
services nor permit a REMIC to receive any income from assets other than
“qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted
investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
In
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall cause the
Servicer to employ Accepted Servicing Practices. Unless a different time
period
is stated in this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, Purchaser shall be
deemed
to have given consent in connection with a particular matter if Purchaser
does
not affirmatively grant or deny consent within five (5) Business Days from
the
date Purchaser receives a second written request for consent for such matter
from Company on behalf of Servicer.
The
Company shall have the right to cause a Master Servicer to receive information
and funds related to Mortgage Loans from one or more Servicer, process such
information and relay it and the appropriate funds to either the Company
or the
Purchaser, all in accordance with the Master Servicing Agreement.
The
Company represents and warrants that each Servicer and the Master Servicer
is an
entity that engages in the business of servicing loans, is authorized to
transact business, and licensed to service mortgage loans, in the state or
states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated,
if
and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Servicer or Master
Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement
or Master Servicing Agreement, as appropriate, and is a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx
Mae approved mortgage servicer in good standing, and no event has occurred,
including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would
make it
unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by
Xxxxxx
Xxx or for servicers imposed by Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, or which would
require notification to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. Each Servicer and the
Master
Servicer will obtain and preserve its qualifications to do business as a
foreign
corporation and its licenses to service mortgage loans, in each jurisdiction
in
which such qualifications and/or licenses are or shall be necessary to protect
the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage
Loans
and to perform or cause to be performed its duties under the related Servicing
Agreement or Master Servicing Agreement. While each Servicer and the Master
Servicer will perform any and all of the servicing responsibilities hereunder,
the Company shall not be released from any of its obligations hereunder and
the
Company shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of
each
Servicer and the Master Servicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were
those of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses of each
Servicer and the Master Servicer from its own funds. Company shall notify
Purchaser promptly in writing upon the appointment of each Servicer and the
Master Servicer.
39
At
the
cost and expense of the Company, without any right of reimbursement from
the
Custodial Account, the Company shall be entitled to terminate the rights
and
responsibilities of a Servicer and the Master Servicer and arrange for any
and
all servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor Servicer or
Master
Servicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph. In the event
that
the Company's right to use a Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans under
this
Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 and if
requested to do so by the Purchaser, the Company shall at its own cost and
expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Servicer effective
as
of the date of termination of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees,
expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and
responsibilities of the Servicer from the Company's own funds without
reimbursement from the Purchaser.
Notwithstanding
any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements
between the Company and a Servicer or Master Servicer or any reference herein
to
actions taken by or through the Servicer, Master Servicer or otherwise, the
Company shall not be relieved of its obligations to the Purchaser and shall
be
obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if
it
were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans itself. The Company shall
be
entitled to enter into an agreement with each Servicer and the Master Servicer
for indemnification of the Company by the Servicer or Master Servicer and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification. The Company will indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from
any
loss, liability or expense arising out of its use of a Servicer or Master
Servicer to perform any and all of the servicing duties, responsibilities
and
obligations hereunder.
40
Any
Servicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the
Mortgage Loans involving the Servicer shall be deemed to be between the Servicer
and Company alone, and the Purchaser shall have no obligations, duties or
liabilities with respect to the Servicer including no obligation, duty or
liability of Purchaser to pay the Servicer's fees and expenses. For purposes
of
distributions and advances by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the
Company shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when
the
Servicer has received such payment.
Any
Master Servicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating
to
the Mortgage Loans involving the Master Servicer shall be deemed to be between
the Master Servicer and Company alone, and the Purchaser shall have no
obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Master Servicer including
no obligation, duty or liability of Purchaser to pay the Master Servicer's
fees
and expenses. For purposes of distributions and advances by the Company pursuant
to this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have received a payment
on a
Mortgage Loan when the Master Servicer has received such payment.
Section
4.02 Collection
of Mortgage Loan Payments.
Continuously
from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject
to
this Agreement, the Company shall cause the Servicer to proceed diligently
to
collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become
due
and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent
with
this Agreement, Accepted Servicing Practices, and the terms and provisions
of
any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and Lender Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect
to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account.
Further, the Company shall cause Servicer to take special care in ascertaining
and estimating annual escrow payments, and all other charges that, as provided
in the Mortgage, will become due and payable, so that the installments payable
by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they
become
due and payable.
In
no
event will the Servicer waive its right to any prepayment penalty or premium
without the prior written consent of Purchaser and Servicer will use diligent
efforts to collect same when due except as otherwise provided in the prepayment
penalty rider to the Mortgage.
Section
4.03 Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage
The
Company shall cause Servicer to use its best efforts, consistent with the
procedures that the Servicer would use in servicing loans for its own account,
consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, any Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and the best interest
of
Purchaser, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert 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 4.01. Foreclosure or comparable
proceedings shall be initiated within ninety (90) days of default for Mortgaged
Properties for which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection
of
delinquent payments, subject to state and federal law and regulation. The
Company shall cause Servicer to use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted
Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and
interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other things, the timing
of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that,
in
any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Servicer
shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such
property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration
will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to
the
Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that
such
expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated
in
Section 4.05. Company shall obtain prior approval of Purchaser and convey
such
approval to Servicer as to repair or restoration expenses in excess of ten
thousand dollars ($10,000). The Company shall cause Servicer to notify the
Purchaser in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings and not
less
than 5 days prior to the acceptance or rejection of any offer of reinstatement.
The Company shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by Servicer
in any such proceedings or functions; provided, however, that it shall be
entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as contemplated
in
Section 4.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
in
connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure,
in
the event either the Company or the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe
that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances
or
wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection
or
review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be
conducted by a qualified inspector at the Purchaser's expense. Upon completion
of the inspection, the Company shall cause Servicer to promptly provide the
Company and the Company shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written
report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental
inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Servicer shall proceed
with respect to the Mortgaged Property.
41
In
the
event that a Mortgage Loan becomes part of a REMIC, and becomes REO Property,
such property shall be disposed of by the Servicer, with the consent of
Purchaser as required pursuant to this Agreement, before the close of the
third
taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became
an REO
Property, unless the Servicer provides to the trustee under such REMIC an
opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding of such REO Property
subsequent to the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year
in
which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, will not result in the
imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F
of
the Code, or cause the transaction to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that certificates are outstanding. The Company shall cause Servicer to manage,
conserve, protect and operate each such REO Property for the certificateholders
solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which
does
not cause such property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within
the
meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(E) of the Code, or any "net income from
foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC provisions
of
the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such property, the Company shall
cause
Servicer to, either itself or through an agent selected by Servicer, protect
and
conserve such property in the same manner and to such an extent as is customary
in the locality where such property is located. Additionally, Company shall
cause Servicer to perform the tax withholding and reporting related to Sections
1445 and 6050J of the Code.
42
Section
4.04 Establishment
of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.
The
Company shall cause Servicer to segregate and hold all funds collected and
received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its
own
funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial
Accounts. The Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited
in
the Custodial Account, which shall be deposited within 24 hours of receipt,
shall at all times be insured by the FDIC or the NCUSIF up to the FDIC or
NCUSIF
insurance limits, or must be invested in Permitted Investments for the benefit
of the Purchaser. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on
by
the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial
Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit
B
hereto. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the
Purchaser on the Closing Date, and upon the request of any subsequent
Purchaser.
The
Company shall cause Servicer to deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily
basis, and retain therein the following payments and collections received
or
made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to the
Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than in
respect
of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off

Mortgage Loans;
(ii)
all
payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the Mortgage
Loan Remittance Rate;
(iii)
all
Liquidation Proceeds;

of
such amounts;
(v)
all
Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to
Sections 4.08, 4.10 and 4.11, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow

the
Mortgage Loan Documents or applicable law;
(vi)
all
Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released
to
the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the loan
documents or applicable law;
(vii)
any
Monthly Advances;
43
(viii)
with respect to each full or partial Principal Prepayment, any Prepayment
Interest Shortfalls, to the extent of the Company’s aggregate Servicing Fee
received with respect to the related Prepayment Period;
(ix)
any
amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.10
in
connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy,
such deposit shall be made from the Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement
therefor; and
(x)
any
amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section
4.01, 4.13 or 6.02.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive,
it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption
fees,
to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Servicer
in the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial
Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the
Company
and the Company shall be entitled to retain and have the Servicer withdraw
such
interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 (iv). The Purchaser
shall not be responsible for any losses suffered with respect to investment
of
funds in the Custodial Account.
Section
4.05 Permitted
Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.
The
Servicer may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for
the
following purposes:
(i) to
make
payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in
Section 5.01;
(ii)
to
reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself
pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the
related
Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing
Fees) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was
made,
it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Servicer’s
right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that,
where
the Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section
3.03,
the Servicer’s right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to
the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such Section and all other
amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage
Loan;
(iii)
to
reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unpaid Servicing
Fees (or REO administration fees described in Section 4.13), the Servicer’s
right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to
any
Mortgage Loan being limited to related proceeds from Liquidation Proceeds,
Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds in accordance with the relevant
provisions of the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement;
any recovery shall be made upon liquidation of the REO Property;
44
(iv) to
pay to
the Company (a) any interest earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all
such
interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Remittance Date), and
(b)
the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest
with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan;

pay to
itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased pursuant

hereof;
(vii) to

and
(viii) to
clear
and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this
Agreement.
Section
4.06 Establishment
of Escrow Accounts; Deposits
in Escrow Accounts.
The
Company shall cause Servicer to segregate and hold all funds collected and
received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments
separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall
establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts. The Escrow Account shall
be
an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in each Escrow Account shall at all
times
be insured in a manner to provide maximum insurance under the insurance
limitations of the FDIC or the NCUSIF, or must be invested in Permitted
Investments. Funds
deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance
with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced
by a
letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C. The original of such letter
agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and upon
request to any subsequent purchaser.
The
Company shall cause Servicer to deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts
on a
daily basis, and retain therein:
(i) all
Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose
of
effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of
this
Agreement;
(ii) all
Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of
any
Mortgaged Property; and
(iii) all
Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient
to
cover escrow disbursements.
45
The
Company shall cause Servicer to make withdrawals from the Escrow Account
only to
effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other
purposes as shall be as set forth or in accordance with Section 4.07. The
Company shall be entitled to receive any interest paid on funds deposited
in the
Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed
funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required
by
law, the Company shall cause Servicer to pay interest on escrowed funds to
the
Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing
or
that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes. The
Purchaser shall not be responsible for any losses suffered with respect to
investment of funds in the Escrow Account.
Section
4.07 Permitted
Withdrawals From Escrow Account.
Withdrawals
from the Escrow Account may be made by Servicer only:
(i) to
effect
timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, fire and hazard insurance
premiums, condominium assessments and comparable items;
(ii) to
reimburse Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by Servicer with respect
to a
related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage
Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments
thereunder;
(iii) to
refund
to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages;
(iv) for
transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement;

paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account;
(vii)
to

part
of its servicing duties, the Company shall cause Servicer to pay to the
Mortgagors interest on funds in Escrow Account, to the extent required by
law,
and to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is
insufficient, shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any
reimbursement therefor from Purchaser; and
(viii)
to
pay to
the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in accordance
with
Section 4.06.
46
Section
4.08 Payment
of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges;
Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies; Collections Thereunder.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall cause Servicer to maintain
accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments,
water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged
Property and the status of primary mortgage insurance premiums and fire and
hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills
for the
payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment
thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time
appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such
purpose
deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated
and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes,
as
allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent
that
the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Company shall cause
Servicer to determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at
the
time they first become due. The Company assumes full responsibility for Servicer
making the timely payment of all such bills, and the Company shall cause
Servicer to effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the
Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of
the
Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such
payments.
The
Company shall cause Servicer to maintain in full force and effect Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies
issued
by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such
coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be terminated only (i) with
the
approval of Purchaser, (ii) after the Current LTV is eighty percent (80%)
or
less, or (iii) as required by applicable law or regulation. The Company shall
not allow Servicer to cancel or refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing
Date
that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy
for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with
a
Qualified Insurer. The Company shall not allow Servicer to take any action
which
would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but
for
the actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection
with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered
into
pursuant to Section 6.01, the Company shall cause Servicer to promptly notify
the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution
of
liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all
actions
which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation
of
coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or
substitution of liability, the Company shall cause Servicer to obtain a
replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy as provided above.
In
connection with its activities as servicer, the Company shall cause Servicer
to
agree to prepare and present, on behalf of the Company and the Purchaser,
claims
to the insurer under any Private Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion
in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or
Lender
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action
as
shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted
Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer
under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 4.05.
47
Section
4.09 Transfer
of Accounts.
The
Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different
Eligible Account from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon
obtaining the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent will
not be
unreasonably withheld.
Section
4.10 Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance.
The
Company shall cause the Servicer to cause to be maintained for each Mortgage
Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is acceptable to
Xxxxxx
Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property
is
located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable
value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater
of (a)
the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) an amount
such
that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or
the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If required by the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each Mortgage Loan shall be covered by
a
flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines
of the
Federal Insurance Administration in effect with an insurance carrier acceptable
to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, in an amount representing coverage not less
than
the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan,
(ii)
the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan
or
(iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term
of
the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer determines in accordance with applicable
law and
pursuant to the Xxxxxx Mae Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in
a
special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered
in
an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection
Act of
1973, as amended, the Company shall cause the Servicer to notify the related
Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and
if
said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within
forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Company shall cause the
Servicer to immediately force place the required flood insurance on the
Mortgagor’s behalf. The Company shall cause the Servicer to also maintain on
each REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an
amount
which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements
which
are a part of such property, and, to the extent required and available under
the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an
amount
as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies
other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the
restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released
to
the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall be
deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
4.05. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need
be
required by the Servicer of the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired
in
respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to this Agreement, the
Xxxxxx
Xxx Guides or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall
at
any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All
such
policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable
to
the Company and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least
thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount
or
material change in coverage to the Company. The Company shall not interfere
with
the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier
or
agent, provided, however, that the Company shall not accept any such insurance
policies from insurance companies unless such companies are Qualified
Insurers.
48
Section
4.11 Maintenance
of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.
In
the
event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued
by an
insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac insuring against hazard losses
on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage
in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise
complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively
be
deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10, it
being
understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in
which
case the Company shall cause the Servicer to, in the event that there shall
not
have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a
policy
complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would
have
been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount
not
otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause.
In
connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Company
shall cause the Servicer to agree to prepare and present, on behalf of the
Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in
accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Purchaser,
the
Company shall cause the Servicer to deliver to the Purchaser a certified
true
copy of such policy and shall use its best efforts to obtain a statement
from
the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or
materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the
Purchaser.
Section
4.12 Fidelity
Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.
The
Company shall cause the Servicer to maintain, at its own expense, a blanket
fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage
with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting
in
any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loan to handle funds, money, documents
and papers relating to the Mortgage Loan. The Fidelity Bond shall be in the
form
of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer
against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement and fraud of such
persons. The errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the
Servicer against losses arising out of errors and omissions and negligent
acts
of such persons. Such errors and omissions insurance shall also protect and
insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain
any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release
or
satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of
the
indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring
the
Fidelity Bond or errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve
the
Company or the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this
Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy
shall
be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Xxxxxx Mae in
the
Xxxxxx Xxx Guides. Upon request by the Purchaser, the Company shall cause
the
Servicer to deliver to the Purchaser a certificate from the surety and the
insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions
insurance policy and the Company shall cause the Servicer to obtain a statement
from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy
shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30)
days'
prior written notice to the Purchaser. The Company shall notify the Purchaser
within five (5) business days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond
or
insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated.
The
Purchaser (or any party having the status of Purchaser hereunder) and any
subsidiary thereof and their successors or assigns as their interests may
appear
must be named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured
on
the errors and omissions policy. Upon request by Purchaser, the Company shall
cause the Servicer to provide Purchaser with an insurance certificate certifying
coverage under this Section 4.12, and will provide an update to such certificate
upon request, or upon renewal or material modification of
coverage.
49
Section
4.13 Title,
Management and Disposition of REO Property.
In
the
event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or
by deed
in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in
the
name of the Purchaser or its designee, or in the event the Purchaser or its
designee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in
the
state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under
the "doing business" or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed
or
certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons
as
shall be consistent with an opinion of counsel obtained by the Servicer from
an
attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property
is
located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser
shall
acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit
of the Purchaser.
The
Company shall cause the Servicer to notify the Purchaser in accordance with
the
Xxxxxx Mae Guides of each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition
(and, in any event, shall provide notice of the consummation of any foreclosure
sale within three (3) Business Days of the date Servicer receives notice
of such
consummation), together with a copy of the drive by appraisal or brokers
price
opinion of the Mortgaged Property obtained in connection with such acquisition,
and thereafter assume the responsibility for marketing such REO property
in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Company shall
cause the Servicer to continue to provide certain administrative services
to the
Purchaser relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13.
No
Servicing Fee shall be assessed or otherwise accrue on any REO Property from
and
after the date on which it becomes an REO Property.
The
Company shall cause the Servicer to, either itself or through an agent selected
by the Servicer, and in accordance with the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides manage, conserve,
protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner that it manages,
conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account,
and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the
REO
Property is managed. The Company shall cause the Servicer to shall cause
each
REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto
and
shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least monthly thereafter
or
more frequently as required by the circumstances. The Company shall cause
the
Servicer to shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such
inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and the Company
shall cause the Servicer to forward copies thereof to the
Purchaser.
50
The
Company shall cause the Servicer to use its best efforts to dispose of the
REO
Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event
within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the
Servicer determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to
such
effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of
such
REO Property. If a longer period than one (1) year is permitted under the
foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Company
shall
cause the Servicer to report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress
being
made in selling such REO Property. No REO Property shall be marketed for
less
than the Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. No REO
Property shall be sold for less than ninety five percent (95%) of its Appraised
Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. All requests for reimbursement
of
Servicing Advances shall be in accordance with the Xxxxxx Mae Guides. The
disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer at such
price,
and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be in the best
interests of the Purchaser (subject to the above conditions) only with the
prior
written consent of the Purchaser. The Company shall cause the Servicer to
provide monthly reports to Purchaser in reference to the status of the marketing
of the REO Properties.
Section
4.14 Notification
of Maturity Date.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall cause the Servicer to shall
execute and deliver to the Mortgagor any and all necessary notices required
under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage
regarding the maturity date if required under applicable law.

any
such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as

than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall
cover
the period commencing with the day following the Business Day such payment
was
due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made to the
Purchaser, both inclusive. The payment by the Servicer of any such interest
shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event
of
Default by the Company. On each Remittance Date, the Company shall cause
the
Servicer to provide a remittance report detailing all amounts being remitted

The
Company shall cause the Servicer to also provide a trial balance, sorted

The
Company shall cause the Servicer to prepare and file any and all information

Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the
Company shall cause the Servicer to provide Purchaser with such information
concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for Purchaser to prepare its
federal income tax return as Purchaser may reasonably request from time to
time.
The
Company will cause the monthly remittance of funds provided for by Section
5.01
of this Agreement to be made to the Purchaser from a single source. The Company
will also cause the information contained in the monthly reports required

Section

Date,
the Company shall cause the Servicer to deposit in the Custodial Account
an
amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by the Servicer, whether
or
not deferred pursuant to Section 4.01, of principal (due after the Cut-off
Date)
and interest not allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, adjusted
to
the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate, which were due on a Mortgage Loan and
delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination
Date.
The
Servicer’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will
continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full
of
the Mortgage Loan, or through the Remittance Date prior to the date on which
the
Mortgaged Property liquidates (including Insurance Proceeds, proceeds from
the
sale of REO Property or Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage
Loan
unless the Servicer deems such advance to be nonrecoverable. In such event,
the
Company shall cause the Servicer to deliver to the Purchaser a certificate
signed by a Servicing Officer to the effect that an officer of the Servicer
has
reviewed the related Mortgage File and has made the reasonable determination
that any additional advances are nonrecoverable.

ARTICLE
VI
GENERAL
SERVICING PROCEDURES
Section
6.01 Assumption
Agreements.
The
Company shall cause the Servicer to, to the extent it has knowledge of any
conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property
(whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not
the
Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the
Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage
Loan
under any "due-on-sale" clause to the extent permitted by law; provided,
however, that the Company shall cause the Servicer to not exercise any such
rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing
so or
if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery
under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy, if any. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable
under
applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Servicerwill enter
into
an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has
been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable
state
law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Company will provide the
Purchaser with written notice of the finalization of each such assumption
agreement. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 6.01 and
not
required by law, the Servicer, with the prior consent of the Purchaser and
the
primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution
of
liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor
is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and
becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of
liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement. Where an
assumption is required by law, the Servicer is authorized to enter into a
substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged
Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which
the
original mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted
as
mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such
substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.
The Company shall provide the Purchaser and the primary mortgage insurer,
if
any, with written notice of the finalization of each such substitution of
liability agreement.
54
In
connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company
shall cause the Servicer to follow the underwriting standards as described
in
Exhibit H. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the
Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the amount of
the
Monthly Payment and the maturity date may not be changed (except pursuant
to the
terms of the Mortgage Note). If the credit of the proposed transferee does
not
meet such underwriting criteria, the diligently shall, to the extent permitted
by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the
maturity of the Mortgage Loan. The Company shall cause the Servicer to notify
the Purchaser that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement
has been completed by forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such
substitution of liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be
added
to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a
part
of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part thereof. All fees collected by the Servicer for entering
into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to
the
Company.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this
Agreement, the Company shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any
other
violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage
Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Company or the Servicer
may
be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes
of
this Section 6.01, 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
6.02 Satisfaction
of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary
for
such purposes, the Company shall cause the Servicer to immediately notify
the
Purchaser 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 Custodial Account pursuant
to
Section 4.04 have been or will be so deposited, of a Servicing Officer and
shall
request delivery to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the
Purchaser. The Purchaser shall no later than five Business Days after receipt
of
such certification and request, release or cause to be released to the Servicer,
the related Mortgage Loan Documents and, upon its receipt of such documents,
the
Company shall cause the Servicer to promptly prepare and deliver to the
Purchaser the requisite satisfaction or release. No later than five (5) Business
Days following its receipt of such satisfaction or release, the Purchaser
shall
deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Servicer the release or satisfaction
properly executed by the owner of record of the applicable mortgage or its
duly
appointed attorney in fact. No expense incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to
the
Custodial Account.
55
In
the
event the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained
payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it
otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage
instruments, the Company shall cause the Servicer to, upon written demand,
shall
remit within two (2) Business Days to the Purchaser the then outstanding
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the
Custodial Account. The Company shall cause the Servicer to maintain the Fidelity
Bond and errors and omissions insurance insuring the Servicer against any
loss
it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance
with the procedures set forth herein.
From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage
Loan, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the Purchaser
shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing
receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the portion of the Mortgage
File
held by the Purchaser to the Servicer. Such servicing receipt shall obligate
the
Servicer to return the related Mortgage documents to the Purchaser when the
need
therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been
liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have
been
deposited in the Custodial Account or the Mortgage File or such document
has
been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official
as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or
other
proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially
or
non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered to the Purchaser a Servicing
Officer’s Certificate 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 Servicing Officer’s Certificate
stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall
be
released by the Purchaser to the Servicer.
Section
6.03 Servicing
Compensation.
As
compensation for causing the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder,
the Company shall be entitled to have the Servicer: (i) withdraw from the
Custodial Account (to the extent of interest payments collected on the Mortgage
Loans) and remit to the Company; or (ii) to remit to the Company from funds
retained from interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans, the amounts
provided for as the Servicing Fee, subject to payment of compensating interest
on Principal Prepayments as capped by the Servicing Fee pursuant to Section
5.01
(iii). Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees,
as
provided in Section 6.01, and late payment charges or otherwise shall be
conveyed by Servicer to the Company to the extent not required to be deposited
in the Custodial Account. No Servicing Fee shall be payable in connection
with
partial Monthly Payments. The Company shall be responsible for all expenses
incurred by Servicer in connection with Servicer’s servicing activities
hereunder, and the Company shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor
except as specifically provided for.
56
Section
6.04 Annual
Statement as to Compliance.
The
Company shall cause the Servicer to deliver to the Purchaser, on
or before March 1st
of each year following the first year in which there is a Closing Date,
a
certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating, as to each signatory thereof,
that (A) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding
calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under
such
officers' supervision, and (B) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based
on
such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under the
Servicing Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default
in the
fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to
such
officers and the nature and status of cure provisions thereof.
The
Company shall cause the Servicer to provide copies of such statement to the
Purchaser upon request.
Section
6.05 Annual
Independent Certified Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
On
or before March 1st
of each year following the first year in which there is a Closing
Date,
the
Company shall cause the Servicer to, at its expense, cause a firm of independent
public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Purchaser to the effect
that
such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the Servicer’s
servicing of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans pursuant
to
the Servicing Agreement and servicing agreements substantially similar to
this
Agreement, which agreements may include this Agreement, and that, on the
basis
of such an examination, conducted substantially in the uniform single audit
program for mortgage bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the Servicer’s
servicing has been conducted in compliance with the agreements examined pursuant
to this Section 6.05, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe
to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in
such
statement. The Company shall cause the Servicer to provide copies of such
statement to the Purchaser. In addition, on an annual basis, the Company
shall
cause the Servicer to provided Purchaser with copies of its audited financial
statements.
Section
6.06 Purchaser's
Right to Examine Servicer Records.
The
Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit upon reasonable notice
to
the Servicer, during normal business hours, any and all of the books, records,
documentation or other information of the Servicer, or held by another for
the
Servicer or on its behalf or otherwise, which relates to the performance
or
observance by the Servicer of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.
The
Company shall cause the Servicer to provide to the Purchaser and any supervisory
agents or examiners representing a state or federal governmental agency having
jurisdiction over the Purchaser, including but not limited to OTS, FDIC and
other similar entities, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage
Loans
in the possession of the Servicer which may be required by any applicable
regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable
request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the Servicer,
and in
accordance with the federal government, FDIC, OTS, or any other similar
regulations.

so
long as the Mortgage Loans are being serviced by Servicer as part of a
securitization transaction and a certificate with respect to such servicing
is

the
Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, as amended, and any rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder (“Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”), the Company shall cause an

(iv)
a

of Section 8.02.
(v)

63
(viii)
the Company shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally

the
Company fails to perform, within the required time period, its obligations
under
Section 6.04, 6.05 or 6.07, which failure continues unremedied for a period
of
fifteen (15) days after the date on which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Company by
the
Purchaser.
B. Upon
the
occurrence of any Event of Default, Purchaser may, so long as an Event of
Default shall not have been either remedied or waived in the manner provided
for
in Section 9.02 below, at its option, by notice in writing to the Company
(except in the case of an Event of Default under subclauses (vi), (vii) or
(viii) above, in which case, automatically and without notice), Purchaser
shall
be entitled, in addition to whatever rights the Purchaser may have under
Sections 3.03 and 8.01 or otherwise under this Agreement and at law or equity
or
to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, exercise
the
Assigned Rights (defined below) as permitted in Section 9.03 below. If the
Event
of Default is one described in subclause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, Purchaser
may exercise the Assigned Rights as permitted in Section 9.03 below, but
only
with respect to those Mortgage Loans being serviced by the related Servicer.
If
the Event of Default is one described in subclause (i), (v), (vi), (vii),
(viii), (ix), or (x), then Purchaser may exercise the Assigned Rights as
permitted in Section 9.03 below with respect to all, but not less than all,
of
the Mortgage Loans that Company is then causing to be serviced for Purchaser
pursuant to this Agreement.
C. Immediately
upon the Purchaser exercising the Assigned Rights pursuant to clause (B)
above,
the Purchaser will have terminated the rights and servicing related obligations
(but no other obligations) of the Company under this Agreement with respect
to
the related Mortgage Loans (which may be all Mortgage Loans) and to said
Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Company
for the
same. Furthermore, all authority and power of the Company under this Agreement,
with respect to the affected Mortgage Loans, shall pass to and be vested
in the
Purchaser. Upon written request from the Purchaser, the Company shall prepare,
execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in
such
successor's possession all affected Mortgage Files, and 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 affected Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise,
at the Company's sole expense. The Company agrees to reasonably cooperate
with
the Purchaser and such successor in effecting provisions of Article 9 of
this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor
for
administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited
by
the Company to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received
with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.
64
Section
9.02 Waiver
of Defaults.
The
Purchaser may waive only by written notice any default by the Company in
the
performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such
waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event
of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every
purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or
other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent
expressly so waived in writing.
Section
9.03 Collateral
Assignment of Servicing Rights and Obligations
Subject
to the restrictions contained herein, the Company hereby makes a collateral
assignment to the Purchaser of the Company’s loan servicing-related rights and
obligations (the “Assigned Rights”) set forth in that certain Purchase,
Warranties and Servicing Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2002, by and between
the
Company and Xxxxxxx Xxx, LLC (formerly Network Liquidity Acceptance Company,
LLC), as amended; provided, however, that this collateral assignment is limited
to those Mortgage Loans that the Company is causing to be serviced for Purchaser
pursuant to this Agreement. While the assignment of the Assigned Rights is
being
made as of the date of this Agreement, the Company and the Purchaser agree
that
the Purchaser will not exercise, and that the Purchaser shall not be authorized
to exercise, any of the Assigned Rights unless and until the conditions
permitting the exercise of said rights set forth in Section 9.01 are fully
met.
Any attempt by the Purchaser to exercise any of the Assigned Rights in any
manner that does not meet the requirements of this Agreement shall be null
and
void.
In
the
event and to the extent that the Purchaser exercises the Assigned Rights
with
respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Company will no longer be obligated to
cause
the related Mortgage Loan(s) to be serviced for the benefit of the Purchaser;
provided, however, that the Company will be obligated to assist the Purchaser
in
transferring the servicing of said Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser as described
in this Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS
Section
11.01 Successor
to the Company.
Prior
to
termination of Company's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement
pursuant to Sections 8.04, 9.01, 10.01 (ii) or (iii), the Purchaser shall
(i)
succeed to and assume all of the Company's responsibilities, rights, duties
and
obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having the
characteristics set forth in Section 8.02 hereof and which shall succeed
to all
rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of
the
Company under this Agreement prior to the termination of Company's
responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In connection
with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements
for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans
as the
Purchaser and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Company's
duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be
terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the Company shall discharge
such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires
knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same
degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under
this
Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice
the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal
of Company pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective
until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section and shall in
no
event relieve the Company of the representations and warranties made pursuant
to
Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03 and the remedies available to the Purchaser
thereunder and under Section 8.01, it being understood and agreed that the
provisions of such Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 and 8.01 shall be applicable
to the
Company notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Company,
or
the termination of this Agreement.
Any
successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to
the Company and to the Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment,
whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers,
duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company, with
like
effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination
or
resignation of the Company or this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.04, 9.01
or
10.01 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against the
Company arising prior to any such termination or resignation.
The
Company shall promptly cause the Servicer to deliver to the successor the
funds
in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files and
related documents and statements held by Servicer hereunder, and the Servicer
shall account for all funds. The Company shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to
more
fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers,
duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company. The
successor shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse
the
Company for unrecovered Servicing Advances which the successor retains hereunder
and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Company pursuant to
this
Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.
66
Upon
a
successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Purchaser
shall notify the Company via facsimile of such appointment. The Company shall
notify the Purchaser once the successor begins servicing the related Mortgage
Loan(s)

Purchaser shall not sell the name of any Mortgagor. The Purchaser shall use
its
best efforts to prevent the sale of the name of any Mortgagor by the Purchaser’s
wholly owned subsidiaries and affiliates, to any person or entity in either
such
case for the direct or indirect purpose of allowing such person or entity
to
solicit any Mortgagor for any purpose. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, solicitations that are directed to the general public at large,
including, without limitation, mass mailings based solely on commercially
acquired mailing lists and newspaper, radio, television and other mass media
advertisements, if undertaken by the Purchaser or any of its employees, agents
or affiliates, shall not be prohibited under this Section 11.16(b).
Section

Confirmation shall have been materially complied with.

Section
11.18. Cooperation
of Company with a Reconstitution.
The
Company and the Purchaser agree that with respect to some or all of the Mortgage
Loans, on or after the related Closing Date, on one or more dates (each a
"Reconstitution Date") at the Purchaser's sole option, the Purchaser may
effect
a sale (each, a "Reconstitution") of some or all of the Mortgage Loans then
subject to this Agreement, without recourse, to:
(a)
one or
more third party purchasers in one or more in whole loan transfers (each,
a
"Whole Loan Transfer"); or
(b) one
or
more trusts or other entities to be formed as part of one or more pass-through
transfers (each, a "Pass-Through Transfer").
The
Company agrees to execute in connection with any agreements in connection
with a
Whole Loan Transfer, an Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, or, at Purchaser’s request, a
seller's warranties and servicing agreement or a participation and servicing
agreement or similar agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to
the parties, and in connection with a Pass-Through Transfer, a pooling and
servicing agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the parties,
(collectively the agreements referred to herein are designated, the
"Reconstitution Agreements"). It is understood that any such Reconstitution
Agreements will not contain any greater obligations on the part of Company
than
are contained in this Agreement.
With
respect to each Whole Loan Transfer and each Pass-Through Transfer entered
into
by the Purchaser, the Company agrees (1) to cooperate fully with the Purchaser
and any prospective purchaser with respect to all reasonable requests and
due
diligence procedures; (2) to execute, deliver and perform all Reconstitution
Agreements required by the Purchaser; (3) to restate the representations
and
warranties set forth in this Agreement as of the settlement or closing date
in
connection with such Reconstitution (each, a "Reconstitution Date"). In that
connection, the Company shall provide to such servicer or issuer, as the
case
may be, and any other participants in such Reconstitution: (i) any and all
information (including servicing portfolio information) and appropriate
verification of information (including servicing portfolio information) which
may be reasonably available to the Company, whether through letters of its
auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser or any such other
participant shall request upon reasonable demand; and (ii) such additional
representations, warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from
auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of the Company
as are
reasonably agreed upon by the Company and the Purchaser or any such other
participant. In connection with each Pass-Through Transfer, the Company agrees
to provide reasonable and customary indemnification to the Purchaser and
its
affiliates for disclosure contained in any offering document relating to
the
Company or its affiliates, any Servicer, the Mortgage Loans, the underwriting
standards of the Mortgage Loans and the servicing of the Mortgage Loans.
The
Purchaser shall be responsible for the costs relating to the delivery of
such
information.
73
The
Company shall not be obligated to cooperate with any Pass-Through Transfer
or
Whole Loan Transfer pursuant to this Section 11.18 unless it has received
written notice at least ten (10) days prior to the Reconstitution
Date.
All
Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Reconstitution shall
remain
subject to, and serviced in accordance with the terms of, this Agreement
and the
related Term Sheet, and with respect thereto this Agreement and the related
Term
Sheet shall remain in full force and effect.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Purchaser have caused their names to

3.01P, 4.15, 4.16, 5.02, 6.04, 6.07, 11.18 and 11.19 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 Company
acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require that
the
Purchaser or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in unregistered
offerings. The Company hereby agrees to cooperate with the requests of the
Purchaser and any Depositor made in connection with such unregistered offerings
to provide such parties the information referenced in Exhibit L to this
Agreement as it pertains to the Company, any Subservicer and any
Subcontractor.
None
of
the Purchaser, any Securitization Master Servicer or any Depositor shall
exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance
under
these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance
with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of
the
Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure
comparable to that required under the Securities Act). The Company acknowledges
that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time,
whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff,
consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice
of
counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Purchaser,
any Securitization Master Servicer 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 publicly offered Securitization
Transaction, the Company shall fully cooperate with the Purchaser and any
Securitization Master Servicer to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of
its
assignees or designees), any Securitization Master Servicer and any Depositor,
any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other
information necessary in the good faith determination of the Purchaser, the
Securitization Master Servicer or any Depositor to permit the Purchaser, such
Securitization Master Servicer or such Depositor to comply with the provisions
of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Company, any
Subservicer, any Third-Party Originator and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing
of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Purchaser or any Depositor
to
be necessary in order to effect such compliance.
12
The
Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with
the
Company by providing timely notice of requests for information under these
provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required,
in
the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB.
17. Article
IX of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by
inserting the following as a new second paragraph in Section

Except
as
otherwise specifically provided herein, none of the Company, any Securitization
Master Servicer or any Depositor shall be entitled to terminate the rights
and
obligations of the Company or any Subservicer under this Agreement and in and
to
the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof if a failure of the Company to
identify a Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the
meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable solely to the role or
functions of such Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other than
Mortgage Loans involved with a Securitization Transaction.
18. Article
XI of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by
deleting Section 11.04 in its entirety and replacing it with the

Law), and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall
be
determined in accordance with such laws.
19. Article
XI of the Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date hereof by

Agreement, without recourse, by way of a transfer to:
13

or
more third party purchasers in one or more in whole loan transfers (each, a

(b) one

the Company, and any Servicer in connection with a Whole Loan Transfer or a
Securitization Transaction, an Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit
D
hereto
or, at Purchaser’s request, a seller’s warranties and servicing agreement or a
participation and servicing agreement or similar agreement in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to the parties (the “Reconstitution Agreements”). It is
understood that any such Reconstitution Agreements will not contain any greater
obligations on the part of Company than are contained in this
Agreement.
With
respect to each Whole Loan Transfer and each Securitization Transaction entered
into by the Purchaser, the Company agrees (1) to cooperate fully with the
Purchaser and any prospective purchaser with respect to all reasonable requests
and due diligence procedures; (2) to execute, deliver and perform all
Reconstitution Agreements required by the Purchaser; (3) to restate the
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement as of the settlement
or closing date in connection with such Reconstitution (each, a “Reconstitution
Date”).
In
addition, the Company shall provide to such servicer or issuer, as the case
may
be, and any other participants in such Reconstitution:

all information and appropriate verification of information which may be
reasonably available to the Company, whether through letters of its auditors

counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser or any such other participant shall
request upon reasonable demand;

additional representations, warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters
from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of the Company

discretion. If requested by the Purchaser, this will include information about
the applicable credit-granting or underwriting criteria;

Promptly

provided pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph (including an omission

paragraph), the Company shall provide corrected Static Pool Information to
the
Purchaser or any Depositor, as applicable, in the same format in which Static

the
requesting party (to the extent of any additional incremental expense associated
with delivery pursuant to this Agreement), such statements and agreed-upon
procedures letters of certified public accountants reasonably acceptable to

authorizing reliance by the addressees designated by the Purchaser or such
Depositor;
(viii)
For the purpose of satisfying its reporting obligation under the Exchange Act
with respect to any class of asset-backed securities, the Company shall (or
shall cause each Subservicer and Third-Party Originator to) (i) provide prompt

(x) The
Company shall provide to the Purchaser, any Master Servicer and any Depositor,

In

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; each broker dealer acting as underwriter, placement
agent or initial purchaser, each Person who controls any of such parties or
the
Depositor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section

of the Exchange Act); and the respective present and former directors, officers,
employees, agents and affiliates of each of the foregoing and of the Depositor
(each, an “Indemnified Party”), and shall hold each of them harmless from and
against any claims, 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:
17
(i)(A)
any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained
in
any information, report, certification, data, accountants’ letter or other
material provided in written form (including electronic form) under this Section
11.18 by or on behalf of the Company, or provided under this Section 11.18
by or
on behalf of any Subservicer, Subcontractor or Third-Party Originator
(collectively, the “Company Information”), or (B) the omission or alleged
omission to state in the Company Information a material fact required to be
stated in the Company Information or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that clause (B) of this paragraph
shall be construed solely by reference to the Company Information and not to
any
other information communicated in connection with a sale or purchase of
securities, without regard to whether the Company Information or any portion
thereof is presented together with or separately from such other
information;
(ii)
any
breach by the Company of its obligations under Sections 4.15, 4.16, 6.04, 6.07,
6.08, 11.18 or 11.19, including particularly any failure by the Company, any
Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party Originator to deliver any
information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when
and as required under Sections 4.15, 4.16, 6.04, 6.07, 6.08, 11.18 or 11.19,
including any failure by the Company to identify pursuant to Section 11.19(b)

(iii)
any
breach by the Company of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections

to
the extent that such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach
by
the Company of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant
to
Section 4.15 to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date;
or
(iv)
the
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Company in connection with
its performance under the last paragraph of Section 4.02 or Sections 4.15,
4.16,
6.04, 6.07, 6.08, 11.18 or 11.19.
If
the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless an Indemnified Party, then the Company agrees that it shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of any
claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such
Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Company on the other.
18
In

Company shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser (or any designee of the
Purchaser, such as a Securitization Master Servicer) and any Depositor, as
applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Purchaser (or such
designee) or such Depositor, as such are incurred, in connection with the
termination of the Company or any Subservicer as servicer and the transfer
of
servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer. The provisions of
this
paragraph shall not limit whatever rights the Purchaser or any Depositor may
have under other provisions of this Agreement and/or any applicable
Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as
an
action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.
All
Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Reconstitution shall remain
subject to, and serviced in accordance with the terms of, this Agreement and

The Company shall cause any Subservicer used by the Company (or any subservicer
used by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Purchaser and any Depositor
to
comply with the provisions of this Section 11.19 and with Sections 3.01P, 4.15,
6.04, 6.07 and 11.18 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer

(or any designee of the Depositor, such as an administrator) a written

Securitization Master Servicer and such Depositor) of the role and function
of
each Subcontractor utilized by the Company or any Subservicer, specifying (i)
the identity of each such Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of such
Subcontractors are “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning
of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the Servicing
Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each
Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph.
(d) As
a
condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, the Company shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the
Company (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Purchaser and any
Depositor to comply with the provisions of Section 6.07 of this Agreement to
the
same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Company. The Company shall be
responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the
