Reporting. The Assignor will cause to be fully furnished, in
accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations,
accurate and complete information (i.e., favorable and unfavorable) on Mortgagor
credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company
(three of the credit repositories), on a monthly basis.
(g) Bring
Down. To the Assignor’s knowledge, with respect to each Mortgage
Loan, no event has occurred from and after the closing date set forth in such
Sale Agreement to the date hereof that would cause any of the representations
and warranties relating to such Mortgage Loan set forth in Section 3.02 of
the Sale Agreement to be untrue in any material respect as of the date hereof
as
if made on the date hereof. With respect to those representations and
warranties which are made to the best of the Assignor's knowledge, if it is
discovered by the Assignor that the substance of such representation and
warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding the Assignor's lack of knowledge with
respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy
shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and
warranty.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
Sections 7 and 8 shall survive delivery of the respective mortgage loan
documents to the Assignee or its designee and shall inure to the benefit of
the
Assignee and its assigns notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified
endorsement or assignment. Upon the discovery by the Assignor or the
Assignee and its assigns of a breach of the foregoing representations and
warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
to the other parties to this Assignment Agreement, and in no event later than
two (2) Business Days from the date of such discovery. It is
understood and agreed that the obligations of the Assignor set forth in
12
Section
10 to repurchase or, in limited circumstances, substitute a Mortgage Loan
constitute the sole remedies available to the Assignee and its assigns on their
behalf respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained
in
Sections 7 and 8. It is further understood and agreed that, except as
specifically set forth in Sections 7 and 8, the Assignor shall be deemed not
to
have made the representations and warranties in Section 8(g) with respect to,
and to the extent of, representations and warranties made, as to the matters
covered in Section 8(g), by the Servicer in the Sale Agreement (or any officer’s
certificate delivered pursuant thereto).
It
is
understood and agreed that, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Assignor
has
made no representations or warranties to the Assignee other than those contained
in Sections 7 and 8, and no other affiliate of the Assignor has made any
representations or warranties of any kind to the Assignee.
9. Representations
and Warranties of the Servicer. The Servicer hereby represents
and warrants to the Assignee that, to the extent the Mortgage Loans will be
part
of a REMIC, the Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans and any real property
acquired upon default thereof (including, without limitation, making or
permitting any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage
Loan) in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, but in no event in a manner
that would (a) cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (b) result
in
the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including, but not limited to, the
tax
on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, the
tax
on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code and the
tax
on “net income from foreclosure property” as set forth in Section 860G(c) of the
Code).
10. Repurchase
of Mortgage Loans. (a) [RESERVED].
(b) Upon
discovery or notice of any breach by the Assignor of any representation,
warranty or covenant under this Assignment Agreement that materially and
adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Assignee
therein (it being understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed
to
have materially and adversely affected the value of the related Mortgage Loan
or
the interest of the Assignee therein if the Assignee incurs a loss as a result
of such defect or breach), the Assignee promptly shall request that the Assignor
cure such breach and, if the Assignor does not cure such breach in all material
respects within sixty (60) days from the date on which it is notified of the
breach, the Assignee may enforce the Assignor’s obligation hereunder to purchase
such Mortgage Loan from the Assignee at the Repurchase Price as defined in
the
Sale Agreement or, in limited circumstances (as set forth below), substitute
such mortgage loan for a Substitute Mortgage Loan (as defined
below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if such breach is a
Qualification Defect as defined in the Sale Agreement, such cure or repurchase
must take place within sixty (60) days of discovery of such Qualification
Defect.
The
Assignor shall have the option, but is not obligated, to substitute a Substitute
Mortgage Loan for a Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase the Mortgage Loan
as
provided above, by removing such Mortgage Loan and substituting in its place
a
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and providing the Substitution Adjustment
Amount, if any, provided that any such substitution shall be effected not later
than ninety (90) days from the date on which it is notified of the
breach.
13
In
the
event the Servicer has breached a representation or warranty under the Sale
Agreement that is substantially identical to, or covers the same matters as,
a
representation or warranty breached by the Assignor hereunder, the Assignee
shall first proceed against the Servicer to cure such breach or purchase such
mortgage loan from the Trust. If the Servicer does not within ninety
(90) days after notification of the breach, take steps to cure such breach
(which may include certifying to progress made and requesting an extension
of
the time to cure such breach, as permitted under the Sale Agreement) or purchase
the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall be entitled to enforce the obligations
of
the Assignor hereunder to cure such breach or to purchase or substitute for
the
Mortgage Loan from the Trust.
In
addition, the Assignor shall have the option, but is not obligated, to
substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Mortgage Loan with respect to which
the Servicer has breached a representation and warranty and is obligated to
repurchase such Mortgage Loan under the Sale Agreement, by removing such
Mortgage Loan and substituting in its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans,
provided that any such substitution shall be effected not later than ninety
(90)
days from the date on which it is notified of the breach.
In
the
event of any repurchase or substitution of any Mortgage Loan by the Assignor
hereunder, the Assignor shall succeed to the rights of the Assignee to enforce
the obligations of the Servicer to cure any breach or repurchase such Mortgage
Loan under the terms of the Sale Agreement with respect to such Mortgage
Loan. In the event of a repurchase or substitution of any Mortgage
Loan by the Assignor, the Assignee shall promptly deliver to the Assignor or
its
designee the related Mortgage File and shall assign to the Assignor all of
the
Assignee’s rights under each of the Servicing Agreement and the Sale Agreement,
but only insofar as each such agreement relates to such Mortgage
Loan.
Except
as
specifically set forth herein, the Assignee shall have no responsibility to
enforce any provision of this Assignment Agreement, to oversee compliance hereof
or to take notice of any breach or default thereof.
For
purposes of this Section, “Deleted Mortgage Loan” and “Substitute Mortgage Loan”
shall be defined as set forth below.
“Deleted
Mortgage Loan” A Mortgage Loan which is to be, pursuant to this
Section 10, replaced or to be replaced by the Assignor with a Substitute
Mortgage Loan.
“Substitute
Mortgage Loan” A Mortgage Loan substituted by the Assignor for a
Deleted Mortgage Loan which must, on the date of such substitution, (i) have
an
outstanding principal balance, after deduction of all scheduled payments due
in
the month of substitution (or in the case of a substitution of more than one
Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, an aggregate principal balance),
not
in excess of the Stated Principal Balance of the Deleted Mortgage Loan; (ii)
be
accruing interest at a rate no lower than and not more than 2% per annum higher
than that of the Deleted Mortgage Loan; (iii) have a remaining term to maturity
not greater than and not more than one year less than that of the Deleted
Mortgage Loan; (iv) be of the same type as the Deleted Mortgage Loan (i.e.,
fixed-rate or adjustable-rate with same periodic rate cap, lifetime rate cap,
and index); and (v) comply with each representation and warranty set forth
in
Section 3.02 of the Sale Agreement.
14
“Substitution
Adjustment Amount” means with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the amount remitted
by GSMC on the applicable Distribution Date which is the difference between
the
outstanding principal balance of a Substitute Mortgage Loan as of the date
of
substitution and the outstanding principal balance of the Deleted Mortgage
Loan
as of the date of substitution.

and the Sale Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance

their respective terms.
