SECTION
30. COMPLIANCE
WITH REGULATION AB
Subsection 30.01. |
Intent
of the Parties; Reasonableness.
|
The
Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article
30 of
this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and any Depositor
with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the
Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings
of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the
Seller acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require
that the Purchaser or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in
unregistered offerings. References in this Agreement to compliance with
Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private
offerings.
Neither
the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery
of
information or other performance under these provisions other than in good
faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or
the
provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under
the Securities Act). The Seller acknowledges that interpretations of the
requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive
guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants
in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and
agrees to comply with requests made by the Purchaser, any master servicer or
any
Depositor in good faith for delivery of information available to the Seller
without unreasonable cost and expense within a reasonable and customary
timeframe under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of
Regulation AB. In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Seller
shall cooperate in a reasonable manner with the Purchaser and any master
servicer to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or
designees), any 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 master servicer or any Depositor
to
permit the Purchaser, such master servicer or such Depositor to comply with
the
provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the
Seller, 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; provided, however,
that the Seller shall not be required to provide Static Pool Information with
respect to periods prior to January 1, 2006 if the Seller delivers an Officer’s
Certificate to the Purchaser or any Depositor stating that the Seller cannot
obtain such Static Pool Information without unreasonable effort or expense.
The
Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with
the
Seller 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.
Subsection 30.02. |
Additional

or,
in the case of a Subservicer subsequently appointed as such, on or prior to

of the Servicing Criteria other than those specified by the Seller pursuant
to

Subsection and with Subsections 30.02, 30.03(c), (e), (f) and (g), 30.04, 30.05
and 30.07 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer were
the
Seller, and to provide the information required with respect to such Subservicer
under Subsection 30.03(d) of this Agreement. The Seller shall be responsible
for
obtaining from each Subservicer and delivering to the Purchaser and any

Subservicer under Subsection 30.04, any assessment of compliance and attestation
required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Subsection 30.05 and any

(or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Purchaser and any Depositor
to
comply with the provisions of Subsections 30.05 and 30.07 of this Agreement
to
the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Seller. The Seller shall
be
responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the
Purchaser and any Depositor any assessment of compliance and attestation
required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Subsection 30.05, in each
case as and when required to be delivered.
Subsection 30.07. |

(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:
(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 under this Article 30 by or on behalf of the Seller, or
provided under this Article 30 by or on behalf of any Subservicer, Subcontractor
or Third-Party Originator (collectively, the “Seller/Servicer Information”), or
(B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Seller/Servicer Information
a material fact required to be stated in the Seller/Servicer Information or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way
of
clarification, that clause (B) of this paragraph shall be construed solely
by
reference to the Seller/Servicer Information and not to any other information
communicated in connection with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard
to whether the Seller/Servicer Information or any portion thereof is presented
together with or separately from such other information; or
(ii) any
breach by the Seller of its obligations under this Article 30, any failure
by
the Seller, 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 this Article 30, including any failure
by
the Seller to identify pursuant to Subsection 30.06(b) any Subcontractor
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB; or
(iii) any
breach by the Seller of a representation or warranty set forth in Subsection
30.02(a) or in a writing furnished pursuant to Subsection 30.02(b) and made

to the extent that such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach
by the Seller of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant
to
Subsection 30.02(b) to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing
date; or
(iv) the
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Seller in connection with
its
performance under this Article 30.
If
the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless an Indemnified Party, then the Seller 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 Seller on the other.
In
the
case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(ii) of this
Subsection, the Seller shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser, any Depositor,
as
applicable, and each Person responsible for the preparation, execution or filing
of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such
Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification pursuant to
Rule
13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such
Securitization Transaction, for all costs reasonably incurred by each such
party
in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter
or other material not delivered as required by the Seller, any Subservicer,
any
Subcontractor or any Third-Party Originator.

indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the

to
Subsection 30.02(b) to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing
date, shall, except as provided in clause (ii) of this paragraph, immediately
and automatically, without notice or grace period, constitute an Event of
Default with respect to the Seller under this Agreement and any applicable
Reconstitution Agreement related thereto, and shall entitle the Purchaser,
any
master servicer or any Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion to
terminate the rights and obligations of the Seller as servicer under this
Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement related thereto without
payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any applicable
Reconstitution Agreement related thereto to the contrary) of any compensation
to
the Seller; provided that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement

obligations of the Seller pursuant to this subparagraph (b)(ii) if a failure
of
the Seller 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 the Mortgage Loans.
(iii) The
Seller shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser (or any designee of the Purchaser,
such as a master servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable
