pursuant to this Agreement the Mortgage Loans being sold by the Seller and
listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, but not the servicing rights associated
therewith, having an aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance in an amount as

Loan
Schedule for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased on such Closing Date to the
Purchaser at least four Business Days prior to such Closing Date.
Section
2.02 Purchase

The
Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans shall be equal to the sum
of (i)

by the

Mortgage Loan Schedule, plus
(ii)
accrued interest on the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans at the weighted average Mortgage Interest Rate of such Mortgage Loans

With

in and to the Mortgage Loans. In accordance with Section 2.07, the Seller shall
deliver at its own expense, the Mortgage Files for the related Mortgage Loans
to
the Purchaser or its designee. In addition, on or before each Closing Date,
the

documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans prepared by or that come into
the
possession of the Seller shall be received and held by the Seller in trust
for
the benefit of the Purchaser as the owner of the Mortgage Loans. Any portion
of
the Mortgage Files retained by the Seller shall be appropriately identified
in

Loans by the Purchaser.
In

Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement by including (or deleting, in the
case of Mortgage Loans that are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement)
in such computer files the information required by the MERS® System to identify
the Purchaser of such Mortgage Loans. The Seller further agrees that it will
not, and will not permit the Servicer to, alter the information referenced
in
this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this
Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance
with
the terms of this Agreement.
Section
2.05 Books
and Records.
The
sale
of each Mortgage Loan will be reflected on the Seller’s balance sheet and other
financial statements as a sale of assets by the Seller. The Seller shall
maintain a complete set of books and records for the Mortgage Loans sold by
it,
which shall be appropriately identified in the Seller’s computer system to
clearly reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser. In
particular, the Seller shall maintain in its possession, available for
inspection by the Purchaser or its designee, and shall deliver to the Purchaser
upon demand, evidence of compliance with all federal, state and local laws,
rules and regulations, and requirements of Xxxxxxx Mac, as applicable, including
but not limited to documentation as to the method used in determining the
applicability of the provisions of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973,

realization of Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, documents maintained

reliable means of recreating original documents, including but not limited
to,
optical imagery techniques so long as the Seller complies with the requirements
of the Xxxxxxx Mac Guides.

of Mortgage Loans.
The
Seller shall keep at its office books and records in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Seller shall note the transfer
of the Mortgage Loans. No transfer of a Mortgage Loan may be made unless such
transfer is in compliance with the terms of Section 10.12. For the purposes
of
this Agreement, the Seller shall be under no obligation to deal with any person
with respect to this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan unless a properly executed
Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement in the form of Exhibit D
with
respect to such Mortgage Loan has been delivered to the Seller. Upon receipt
of
notice of the transfer, the Seller shall xxxx its books and records to reflect
the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by such assignee, and the previous Purchaser
shall be released from its obligations hereunder with respect to the Mortgage
Loans sold or transferred.
Section

of Mortgage Loan Documents.
The
Seller shall deliver and release to the Purchaser or its designee the Mortgage

pursuant to a bailee letter agreement. If the Seller cannot deliver the original
recorded Mortgage Loan Documents on the Closing Date, the Seller shall, promptly
upon receipt thereof and in any case not later than 90 days from the Closing
Date, deliver such original recorded documents to the Purchaser or its designee
(unless the Seller 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 90 days of the Closing Date solely
because such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording
office, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser
or
its designee a Seller’s Officer’s Certificate that shall (i) identify the
recorded document, (ii) state that the recorded document has not been delivered
to the Purchaser or its designee due solely to a delay caused by the public
recording office and (iii) state the amount of time generally required by the
applicable recording office to record and return a document submitted for
recordation. In the event that documents have not been received by the date
specified in the Seller’s Officer’s Certificate, a subsequent Seller’s Officer’s
Certificate shall be delivered by such date specified in the prior Seller’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. The Seller shall use its best efforts to effect delivery of all
delayed recorded documents within 120 days of the Closing Date.
16

to Section 10.11, the Seller shall be responsible for recording the Assignments
of Mortgage (or Form UCC-3’s for Co-op Loans). The Seller shall pay all initial

than five days prior to the related Closing Date, the Seller shall provide
a
copy of the commitment for title insurance to the Purchaser or its
designee.
Any
review by the Purchaser or its designee of the Mortgage Files shall in no way
alter or reduce the Seller’s obligations hereunder.
If
the
Purchaser or its designee discovers any defect with respect to any document
constituting part of a Mortgage File, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its
designee to, give written specification of such defect to the Seller and the
Seller shall cure or repurchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section
3.03.
Section
2.08 Quality
Control Procedures.

Seller must have an internal quality control program that verifies, on a regular
basis, the existence and accuracy of the legal documents, credit documents,
property appraisals and underwriting decisions. The program must be capable
of
evaluating and monitoring the overall quality of its loan production and
servicing activities. The program is to ensure that the Mortgage Loans are
originated and serviced in accordance with prudent mortgage banking practices
and accounting principles; guard against dishonest, fraudulent, or negligent
acts; and guard against errors and omissions by officers, employees, or other
authorized persons.

| Section 3.02 |
Representations
and Warranties as to Individual Mortgage
Loans.
|
The
Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as to each Mortgage
Loan, as of the applicable Closing Date as follows:
(a) The
information set forth in Exhibit F with respect to the Mortgage Loans is
complete, true and correct in all material respects;
(b) All
payments due prior to the Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan have been made
as
of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan is not 30 days or more delinquent in
payment; there are no material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan;
(c) All
taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal
charges, leasehold payments or ground rents that 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 that remains unpaid and that has been assessed
but is not yet due and payable;
(d) 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
or sent for recording to the extent any such recordation is required by law
or
necessary to protect the interest of the Purchaser. No other instrument of
waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has
been
released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof except in connection
with
an assumption agreement, which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage
File
and the terms of which are reflected in Exhibit F; the substance of any such
waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any
related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and title insurance policy, to the
extent required by the related policies;
(e) 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;
21
(f) All
buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property
are insured by an insurer acceptable under the FNMA Guides, against loss by
fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for
in
the Xxxxxxx Mac Guides, as well as all additional requirements set forth in
Section 3.12 of the Servicing Agreement. All such standard hazard policies
are
in full force and effect and on the date of origination contained a standard
mortgagee clause naming the Seller 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 Xxxxxxx Mac requirements as well as all additional
requirements set forth in Section 3.12 of the Servicing Agreement. Such policy
was issued by an insurer acceptable under 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;
(g) Each
Mortgage Loan at the time it was made complied in all material respects with
applicable federal, state or local law including, without limitation usury,
truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection,
equal credit opportunity, disclosure and predatory and abusive lending laws
applicable to the Mortgage Loan;
(h) The
related Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien
on
the Mortgaged Property including, for Mortgage Loans that are not Cooperative
Loans, 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. 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, as applicable, 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
that are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either
(A) that are referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for
the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (B) that do not adversely affect the
appraised value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, and
(3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject that do not
materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided
by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related
Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent
document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan
establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first
lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein,
and
the Seller has the full right to sell and assign the same to the
Purchaser;
22
(i) 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 bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general application affecting
the
rights of creditors and by general equitable principles;
(j) The
Seller or its affiliate is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage
Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note. Immediately prior
to
the transfer and assignment to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, the Mortgage
Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not subject to an
assignment or pledge, and the Seller 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 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 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;
(k) There
are
no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor
or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to
such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property that are or may be liens
prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage;
(l) All
improvements subject to the Mortgage that 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) except for de minimus encroachments
permitted by the Xxxxxxx Mac Guide and that have been noted on the appraisal,
or
the title policy affirmatively insures against loss or damage by reason of
any
violation, variation, encroachment or adverse circumstances that is either
disclosed or would have been disclosed by an accurate survey, and no
improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except
those that are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in
clause (d) above or are acceptable under the Xxxxxxx Mac Guide, and all
improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision
laws and ordinances;
(m) The
Mortgaged Property is not subject to any material damage by waste, fire,
earthquake, windstorm, flood or other casualty. At origination of the Mortgage
Loan there was, and there currently is, no proceeding pending for the total
or
partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property;
23
(n) 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;
(o) Each
Mortgage Loan has been serviced in all material respects in compliance with
Accepted Servicing Practices;
(p) With
respect to each Cooperative Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid, enforceable
and subsisting first security interest on the related Cooperative Shares
securing the related Mortgage Note, subject only to (a) liens of the Cooperative
Property for unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of
the Cooperative Property’s payments for its blanket mortgage, current and future
real property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments
to which like collateral is commonly subject and (b) other matters to which
like
collateral is commonly subject that do not materially interfere with the
benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Security Agreement.
There are no liens against or security interest in the Cooperative Shares
relating to each Cooperative Loan (except for unpaid maintenance, assessments
and other amounts owed to the related Cooperative Property which individually
or
in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on such Cooperative
Loan), which have priority over Seller’s security interest in such Cooperative
Shares;
(q) The
Mortgage Loan complies with all the terms, conditions and requirements of the
originator’s underwriting standards in effect at the time of origination of such
Mortgage Loan.
(r) The
Seller has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee
the original Mortgage bearing evidence that such instruments have been recorded
in the appropriate jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located as
determined by the Seller (or, in lieu of the original of the Mortgage or the
assignment thereof, a duplicate or conformed copy of the Mortgage or the
instrument of assignment, if any, together with a certificate of receipt from
the Seller or the settlement agent who handled the closing of the Mortgage
Loan,
certifying that such copy or copies represent true and correct copy(ies) of
the
originals) and that such original(s) have been or are currently submitted to
be
recorded in the appropriate governmental recording office of the jurisdiction
where the Mortgaged Property is located) or a certification or receipt of the
recording authority evidencing the same;
(s) The
Mortgage File contains each of the documents specified in Exhibit
A-1
to this
Agreement;
(t) With
respect to each Cooperative Loan, the Co-op Stock that is pledged as security
for the Cooperative Loan is held by a person as a tenant-stockholder (as defined
in Section 216 of the Code) in a cooperative housing corporation (as defined
in
Section 216 of the Code);
24
(u) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, (a) the Mortgage Loan was originated by a
mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant
to
sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan
association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company
or similar institution that is supervised and examined by a federal or state
authority or (b) at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated, the originator
was a mortgagee duly licensed as required by the State within which the Mortgage

by
the applicable State authority of such State;
(v) The
Mortgage Loan constitutes a qualified mortgage under Section 860G(a)(3)(A)
of
the Code;
(w) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, to the knowledge of the Seller, (i) no borrower
obtained a prepaid single-premium credit insurance policy in connection with
the
origination of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the related Servicer of each such Mortgage
Loan has fully furnished, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act
and
its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information on its borrower
credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company,
on
a monthly basis; (iii) no such Mortgage Loan will impose a Prepayment Penalty
for a term in excess of five years; and (iv) with respect to any Mortgage Loans
that are on manufactured housing, such housing will be the principal residence
of the borrower upon origination of such mortgage loan;
(x) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan that was originated on or after October 1, 2002
and before March 7, 2003, no such Mortgage Loan is secured by a Mortgaged
Property located in the State of Georgia and no Mortgage Loan sold by any Seller
secured by Mortgaged Property located in the State of Georgia that was
originated on or after March 7, 2003 is a “high cost home loan” as defined in
the Georgia Fair Lending Act (HB 1361), as amended;
(y) None
of
the Mortgage Loans are classified as (a) a “high cost mortgage” loan under the
Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or (b) a “high cost home,”
“covered,” “high-cost,” “high-risk home,” or “predatory” loan under any other
applicable state, federal or local law;
(z) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a Prepayment Penalty feature, each such
Prepayment Penalty is enforceable
and, at
the time such Mortgage Loan was originated, each Prepayment Penalty complied
with applicable federal, state and local law, subject to federal preemption
where applicable;
(aa) Each
Mortgage Loan that is secured by residential real property (or a leasehold
interest therein) has a Loan-to-Value Ratio of 100% or less by Cut-Off Date
Principal Balance;
25
(bb) No
Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost Loan” or “Covered Loan”, as applicable, as such
terms are defined in the Standard
&
Poor’s
LEVELS®
Glossary, Appendix E, in effect as of the Closing Date; and
(cc) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan originated on or after August 1, 2004, either
(a)
the related Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note does not contain a mandatory

language: “WE ARE HEREBY NOTIFYING YOU THAT THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION CLAUSE OF
YOUR LOAN, REQUIRING THAT YOU SUBMIT TO ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR MORTGAGE LOAN, IS IMMEDIATELY
NULL
AND VOID. YOU ARE FREE TO CHOOSE TO EXERCISE ANY OF YOUR RIGHTS OR ENFORCE
ANY
REMEDIES UNDER YOUR MORTGAGE LOAN THROUGH THE COURT SYSTEM.” A copy of the
written notice referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, if applicable,
shall be retained in the related Mortgage File.
| 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 File 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 Loan Document. Upon discovery by the Seller or
the
Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties
that 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 others. With respect to the
representations and warranties that are made to the best of the Seller’s
knowledge, if it is discovered by the Seller or the Purchaser that the substance
of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially
and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests
of
the Purchaser therein, notwithstanding such Seller’s lack of knowledge with
respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy
shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty. The
Seller shall have a period of 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 Seller hereby covenants and agrees that if any such breach is not
corrected or cured within such 60-day period, the Seller shall, at the
Purchaser’s option and not later than the next Determination Date, either
repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price or substitute a mortgage
loan for the defective Mortgage Loan as provided below. In the event that any
such breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section
3.01, and such breach is not cured within 60 days of the earlier of either
discovery by or notice to the Seller of such breach, all Mortgage Loans shall,
at the option of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase
Price. Any such repurchase shall be accomplished by deposit in the Custodial
Account of the amount of the Repurchase Price.
26
If
pursuant to the foregoing provisions the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan
that
is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall (or shall cause the Servicer to)
either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage
in
recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall
cause
such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance
with MERS’ rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS®
System the Seller as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
If
the
Seller is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section
3.03
as a result of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth
in Section 3.02, the Seller may, with the Purchaser’s prior consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, within two years from the 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 shall
(a) have a principal balance at the time of substitution not in excess of the
principal balance of the defective Mortgage Loan (the amount of any difference,
plus one month’s interest thereon at the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the
defective Mortgage Loan, being paid by the Seller and deemed to be a Principal
Prepayment to be deposited by the Seller in the Custodial Account), (b) have
a
Mortgage Interest Rate not less than, and not more than one percentage point
greater than, the Mortgage Interest Rate of the removed Mortgage Loan, (c)
have
a remaining term to stated maturity not later than, and not more than one year
less than, the remaining term to stated maturity of the removed Mortgage Loan,
(d) be, in the reasonable determination of the Purchaser, of the same type,
quality and character (including location of the Mortgaged Property) as the
removed Mortgage Loan as if the breach had not occurred, (e) have a
Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination no greater than that of the removed Mortgage
Loan, (f) with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan, have an Equity
Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination no greater than that of the removed Mortgage
Loan, (g) have the same lien priority as that of the removed Mortgage Loan
and
(h) be, in the reasonable determination of the Purchaser, in material compliance
with the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and
described in Section 3.02 as of the date of substitution.
The
Seller shall amend the 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. The Monthly Payment on a substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date
in
the month of substitution shall be the property of the Seller and the Monthly
Payment on the Defective Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due
on
the such date shall be the property of the Purchaser.
It
is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller set forth in this
Section 3.03 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan,
and to indemnify the Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, constitutes the sole
remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations
and warranties. If the Seller 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 the Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction in accordance with this
Section 3.03, or to indemnify the Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, that
failure shall, upon compliance by the Purchaser with the next to the last
paragraph of this Section 3.03, be a default and the Purchaser shall be entitled
to pursue all available remedies.
27
Any
cause
of action against the Seller 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 (i) the earlier of discovery of such breach by the Seller
or notice thereof by the Purchaser to the Seller, (ii) failure by the Seller
to
cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above and (iii)
demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with this
Agreement.
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 the Purchaser may, in connection
with any repurchase or substitution of a Defective Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this Section 3.03, require that the Seller deliver, at the Seller’s expense, an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such repurchase or 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.

Acknowledgement
of Anti-Predatory Lending
Policies.

As
of the
applicable Closing Date, the Purchaser has in place internal policies and
procedures that expressly prohibit its purchase of any Mortgage Loan classified
as (a) a “high cost” loan under the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of
1994 or (b) a “high cost,” “threshold,” “covered,” or “predatory” loan under any
other applicable state, federal or local law (or a similarly classified loan
using different terminology under a law, regulation or ordinance imposing
heightened regulatory scrutiny or additional legal liability for residential
mortgage loans having high interest rates, points and/or fees).

The
Seller agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and
all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and
related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the
Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Seller to observe
and perform its duties, obligations, and covenants in strict compliance with
the
terms of this Agreement or as a result of the breach of a representation or

the
consent of the Purchaser) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses
in
connection therewith, including reasonable and necessary counsel fees, and
promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered

indemnifying party hereunder for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the
two
preceding sentences except when the claim relates to the failure of the Seller
to perform its duties and obligations pursuant to this Agreement, the breach
of
representation or warranty set forth in Sections 3.01 or 3.02, or the gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Seller. The provisions of

Section
8.02
|
Merger
or Consolidation of the Seller.
|
The
Seller shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a

herein, and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a
foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or
shall
be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement,
or
any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this
Agreement.
Any
Person into which either the Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any
corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the
Seller shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Seller,
shall be the successor of the Seller, hereunder, without the execution or filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided,
however,
that
the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution or (i) having a GAAP
net worth of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) the deposits of which are insured

business is in origination and servicing of first lien mortgage loans, and
(iii)
who is a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the successor or surviving Person is an
institution with a GAAP net worth of less than $25,000,000, then the Purchaser
may, in its sole discretion, waive such minimum GAAP net worth
requirement.

from
the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors
in judgment made in good faith; provided,
however,
that
this provision shall not protect the Seller or any such person against any
breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform
its
obligations in strict compliance with any standard of care set forth in this
Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or any breach of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. The Seller and any officer, employee or agent

capable of providing without unreasonable effort or expense, and to indemnify
the Purchaser and its affiliates for material misstatements or omissions

From

or by
any independent contractors on the Seller’s behalf, to personally, by telephone,
by mail, or electronically by e-mail or through the internet or otherwise,
solicit the borrower or obligor under any Mortgage Loan to refinance the
Mortgage Loan, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the
Purchaser. It is understood and agreed that all rights and benefits relating
to
the solicitation of any Mortgagors to refinance any Mortgage Loans and the
attendant rights, title and interest in and to the list of such Mortgagors
and
data relating to their Mortgages (including insurance renewal dates) shall
be
transferred to the Purchaser pursuant hereto on the Closing Date and the Seller

shall not be intended to cause the refinance of a Mortgage Loan that would

which the Mortgage Loans are prepaid. This Section 10.16 shall not be deemed
to
preclude the Seller or any of its affiliates from soliciting any Mortgagor
for
any other financial products or services. The Seller shall use its best efforts
to prevent the sale of the name of any Mortgagor to any Person who is not an
affiliate of the Seller.

ARTICLE

COMPLIANCE
WITH REGULATION AB
|
Section
11.01
|
Intent
of the Parties; Reasonableness.
|
The
Purchaser and the Seller (for purposes of this Article XI, the “Company”)
acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article XI 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. 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 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 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
Securitization Transaction, the Company shall cooperate fully 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 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.
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.
