From
and
after the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, all rights arising
out of
the Mortgage Loans including but not limited to all funds received on or
in
connection with the Mortgage Loans on account of interest and principal due
after the Cut-off Date, shall be held by Indymac in trust for the benefit
of the
Purchaser as owner of the Mortgage Loans, and Indymac shall retain record
title
to the related Mortgage Loans for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing
and the supervision of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans.
The
sale
of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected on Indymac’s balance sheet and other
financial statements as a sale of assets by Indymac. Indymac shall be
responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books
and
records for each Mortgage Loan which shall be marked clearly to reflect the
ownership of each Mortgage Loan by the Purchaser. In particular, Indymac
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 Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, including but not limited to documentation
as to
the method used in determining the applicability of the provisions of the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, to the Mortgaged Property,
documentation evidencing insurance coverage and eligibility of any condominium
project under the Underwriting Guidelines, and periodic inspection reports
as
required by Section 3.15 of the Servicing Agreement. To the extent that
original documents are not required for purposes of realization of Liquidation
Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, documents maintained by Indymac may be in
the
form of microfilm or microfiche or such other reliable means of recreating
original documents, including but not limited to, optical imagery techniques
so
long as Indymac complies with the requirements of the Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac
Selling and Servicing Guide, as amended from time to time. Indymac shall
indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from the unenforceability
(as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) of any Mortgage Loan
document recreated in the manner described in the foregoing sentence against
the
applicable Mortgagor as a result of such recreation or the absence of such
original Mortgage Loan document.
Section
2.02 Due
Diligence by the Purchaser.
Review
of
Credit File and Mortgage File. At least 15 days prior to the Closing Date,
Indymac shall make available to the Purchaser the Credit File and the Mortgage
File for each Preliminary Mortgage Loan in the related Preliminary Mortgage
Loan
Package and shall accommodate reasonable requests by the Purchaser to provide
personnel and documents as necessary to facilitate the review. The Purchaser
shall have the right to review the Credit File and the Mortgage File for
each
such Preliminary Mortgage Loan, at Indymac’s offices or such other location
agreed upon by the Purchaser and Indymac, for the purpose of determining
whether
each Preliminary Mortgage Loan conforms in all material respects to the
applicable terms contained in the Transaction Documents, which determination
shall be made in the Purchaser’s sole discretion; provided,
further,
that
the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, has the right to reject any Preliminary
Mortgage Loan if the original Mortgage Note for such Preliminary Mortgage
Loan
is lost. In the event that the Purchaser rejects any Preliminary Mortgage
Loan
based on such review, Indymac shall have the opportunity, at the discretion
of
the Purchaser, to substitute replacement Preliminary Mortgage Loans satisfying
the requirements set forth above, and the Purchaser shall have the right
to
review any such replacement Preliminary Mortgage Loan(s) in the manner
contemplated above. Such examination may be made by the Purchaser or its
designee, at its expense, at any reasonable time before the Closing Date.
Such
underwriting by the Purchaser or its designee shall not impair or diminish
the
rights of the Purchaser or any of its successors under this Agreement with
respect to a breach of the representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement, provided
that the
Purchaser and Indymac shall notify the other upon discovery of any breach
of the
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. The fact that
the
Purchaser or its designee has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial
or
complete examination of the Credit Files and the Mortgage Files shall not
affect
the Purchaser’s or any of its successors’ rights to demand repurchase or other
relief or remedy provided for in this Agreement, subject to the notification
requirement of Section 3.03.

If,
with
respect to a Mortgage Loan Package, the related Purchase Confirmation identifies
any Mortgage Loan for which the related Credit File or the Mortgage File
is
missing material documentation (as used therein, the “Missing
Credit Documents”),
Indymac agrees to use its best efforts to procure each such Missing Credit
Document within sixty (60) days following the related Closing Date. In the
event of a default by a Mortgagor or any material impairment of the Mortgaged
Property, in either case directly arising from a breach of Indymac’s obligation
to deliver the Missing Credit Document within the time specified above, Indymac
shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price.
Section
2.05 Delivery
of Collateral Files.
Custodial
Agreement. Indymac shall, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the
related Closing Date, pursuant to the Custodial Agreement deliver and release
to
the Custodian the Collateral File for each Mortgage Loan in the Mortgage
Loan
Package and shall execute, and cause the Custodian to execute, the Custodial
Agreement. The Custodian has certified its receipt of all such Collateral
Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. Indymac
will be responsible for the fees and expenses with respect to the delivery
and
will be responsible for the fees and expenses related to the recording of
the
initial Assignments of Mortgage (including any fees and expenses related
to any
preparation and recording of any intervening or prior assignments of the
Mortgage Loans to Indymac or to any prior owners of or mortgagees with respect
to the Mortgage Loans) or Form UCC-3’s for Cooperative Loans. The Purchaser
will be responsible for the Custodian’s fees and expenses as set forth in the
Custodial Agreement.
-14-
Indymac
shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing an assumption,
modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into
in
accordance with Section 3.1(c) or 5.1 of the Servicing Agreement
within two weeks of their execution, provided,
however,
that
Indymac shall provide the Custodian with a certified true copy of any such
document submitted for recordation within ten (10) days of its execution,
and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation
or a
copy of such document certified by the appropriate public recording office
to be
a true and complete copy of the original within 120 days of its submission
for
recordation.
In
the
event the public recording office is delayed in returning any original document,
Indymac shall deliver to the Custodian within 240 days of its submission
for
recordation, a copy of such document and an Officer’s Certificate, which shall
(i) identify the recorded document; (ii) state that the recorded
document has not been delivered to the Custodian due solely to a delay by
the
public recording office, (iii) state the amount of time generally required
by the applicable recording office to record and return a document submitted
for
recordation, and (iv) specify the date the applicable recorded document
will be delivered to the Custodian. The Company will be required to deliver
the
document to the Custodian by the date specified in (iv) above.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the originals or certified copies required in this
Section 2.05 are not delivered as required within 90 days following the
Closing Date or as otherwise extended as set forth above, the related Mortgage
Loan shall, upon request of the Purchaser, be repurchased by Indymac in
accordance with Section 3.03 hereof; provided,
however,
that
the foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event Indymac
cannot
deliver such items due to a delay caused by the recording office in the
applicable jurisdiction; provided
that
Indymac shall deliver instead a recording receipt of such recording office
or,
if such recording receipt is not available, an Officer’s Certificate from
Indymac confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording.
Any
such document shall be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee promptly
upon
receipt thereof from the related recording office.
If
Indymac, the Purchaser or the Custodian finds any document or documents
constituting a part of a Credit File or Mortgage File pertaining to a Mortgage
Loan to be defective (or missing) in any material respect, and such defect
or missing document materially and adversely affects the value of the related
Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Purchaser therein, the party discovering
such defect shall promptly so notify Indymac. Indymac shall have a period
of 90
days after receipt of such written notice within which to correct or cure
any
such defect. Indymac hereby covenants and agrees that, if any material defect
cannot be corrected or cured, Indymac will, upon the expiration of the
applicable cure period described above, repurchase the related Mortgage Loan
in
the manner set forth in Section 3.03; provided,
however,
that
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, if such defect constitutes a Qualification
Defect, any such repurchase must take place within 60 days of the date such
defect is discovered.
-15-
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to a Mortgage Loan, if, at the end of such 90-day
period, Indymac delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Purchaser certifying
that Indymac is using good faith efforts to correct or cure such defect and
identifying progress made, then the Purchaser shall grant Indymac an extension
to correct or cure such defect. The extension shall not extend beyond
(1) if the defect is a Qualification Defect, the date that is 60 days after
the date the defect is discovered, or, (2) if the defect is not a
Qualification Defect (as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel), the date that
is
30 days beyond the original 90-day cure period. If the defect is not a
Qualification Defect, additional 30-day extensions may be obtained pursuant
to
the same procedure, as long as Indymac demonstrates continued progress toward
a
correction or cure; provided
that no
extension shall be granted beyond 180 days from the date on which the Company
received the original notice of the defect.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the failure of the Purchaser
to
notify Indymac of any defective or missing document in a Credit File or Mortgage
File within such 90-day period, or the failure of the Purchaser to require
Indymac to cure or repurchase the related Mortgage Loan upon expiration of
such
90-day period, shall not constitute a waiver of its rights hereunder, including
the rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan, to require Indymac to repurchase
the
affected Mortgage Loan and the right to indemnification pursuant to
Section 3.03 hereof.
Section
2.06 Purchase
Confirmation.
Upon
confirmation with the Purchaser of a Mortgage Loan Package, Indymac shall
prepare and deliver to the Purchaser for execution the related Purchase
Confirmation, executed by an authorized signatory of Indymac.

Date and shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the following
conditions, unless otherwise waived by the prejudiced party(ies):

of
the representations and warranties of Indymac under this Agreement shall

Agreement;

Date and prior to the Closing Date that are reflected in the Mortgage Loan

Purchaser and Indymac shall each bear its own costs and expenses in connection
with the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans including any commissions
due

diligence expenses. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any
costs
and expenses incurred in connection with recording the Assignment of Mortgage

any subsequent assignment thereof shall be paid for by the
Purchaser.

anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any
MERS
Mortgage Loan sold to the Purchaser by Indymac pursuant to this Agreement,
Indymac shall cause the registration of such MERS Mortgage Loan to be changed
on
the MERS System to reflect the Purchaser as the beneficial owner of such
MERS
Mortgage Loan. The foregoing obligation of Indymac shall be in lieu of Indymac
delivering to the Purchaser an Assignment of Mortgage for such MERS Mortgage
Loan. With respect to the Mortgage and intervening assignments related to
any
MERS Mortgage Loan, Indymac shall, in accordance with Section 2.05, provide
the Purchaser with the original Mortgage with evidence of registration with
MERS
and, as applicable, the originals of all intervening assignments of the Mortgage
with evidence of recording thereon prior to the registration of the Mortgage
Loan with the MERS System.
(b) In
connection with the MERS System, Indymac is hereby authorized and empowered,
in
its own name, to register, or change the registration of any MERS Mortgage
Loan
to effectuate such registration. Further, Indymac is authorized to cause
the
removal of any MERS Mortgage Loan from such registration, and to execute
and
deliver on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, any and all instruments of

With
respect to each Mortgage Loan (unless otherwise specified below), Indymac
represents and warrants to the Purchaser, its successors and assigns, as
of the
related Closing Date, that:
(a) Mortgage
Loan Schedule.
The
information contained in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and
correct in all material respects;
(b) No
Delinquencies or Advances.
All
payments required to be made and credited prior to the related Cut-off Date
for
such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made; Indymac
has not advanced 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; and there has been no delinquency of more than thirty
(30) days in any payment by the Mortgagor thereunder during the last twelve
(12) months;
-20-
(c) Taxes,
Assessments, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges.
There
are no defaults by Indymac or any prior originator in complying with the
terms
of the Mortgage and there are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges,
sewer rents, assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including
assessments payable in future installments or other outstanding charges
affecting the related Mortgaged Property;
(d) No
Modifications.
The
terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived,
altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments that have
been
or will be recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser,
and
that have been or will be delivered to the Purchaser, all in accordance with
this Agreement. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification
has
been approved by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, if any, and by the
title
insurer, to the extent required by the related policy and its terms are
reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor has been released,
in
whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved
by
the primary mortgage insurer, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent
required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Collateral
File and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule if
executed prior to the Closing Date;
(e) No
Defenses.
The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will
the
operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the
exercise of any right thereunder, render the 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;
(f) Hazard
and Flood Insurance.
All
buildings and other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property
are insured in an amount which is not less than the lesser of (i) the
maximum insurable value of the Mortgaged Property and (ii) the greater of
(a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) an
amount that would prevent the Mortgagor from becoming a co-insurer, by an
insurer acceptable to an Agency against loss by fire, hazards of extended
coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged
Property is located, and such insurer is licensed to do business in the state
where the Mortgaged Property is located. If the Mortgaged Property is a
condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket
policy. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming
Indymac, its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon
have
been paid. If, upon the origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property
was, or was subsequently deemed to be, in an area identified in the Federal
Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood
hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available), a flood insurance
policy that meets the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal
Insurance Administration (or any successor thereto) and conforms to the
requirements of an Agency is in effect. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s expense and, upon
the failure of the Mortgagor to do so, the holder of the Mortgage is authorized
to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s expense and to seek reimbursement
therefor from the Mortgagor;
(g) Compliance
with Applicable Law.
All
applicable local, state and federal laws including without limitation usury,
truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection,
equal credit opportunity, fair housing, predatory and abusive lending and
disclosure laws applicable to the origination and servicing of the Mortgage
Loan
have been complied with, and Indymac shall maintain in its possession, available
for the Purchaser’s inspection and shall deliver to the Purchaser upon demand,
evidence of compliance with all such requirements.
-21-
(h) No
Release of Mortgage.
The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated, or rescinded, in
whole
or in part, 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.
Indymac 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 Indymac waived any default.
(i) Enforceability
of Mortgage Documents.
The
Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any related modifications, assignments and
assumptions are genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation
of
the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the
enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or similar laws;
(j) Valid
First or Second Lien on Mortgage Loans that are not Cooperative
Loans.
Each
related Mortgage is a valid, perfected, existing and enforceable first or
second
lien or a first priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple in

Mortgaged Property, including, for Mortgage Loans that are not Cooperative
Loans, all improvements on the Mortgaged Property, securing the related Mortgage
Note, except that with respect to real property located in jurisdictions
in
which the use of leasehold estates for residential properties is a
widely-accepted practice, the Mortgage may secure and create a first lien
upon a
leasehold estate of the Mortgagor. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only
to:

lien
of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and

(ii) covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of
public record as of the date of recording that are acceptable to mortgage

title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and
that
do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set
forth
in such appraisal; and
(iii) other
matters to which like properties are commonly subject which 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; and
(iv) with
respect to Second Lien Mortgage Loans, the lien of the first mortgage on
the
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 (A) first lien and first priority security
interest with respect to each first lien mortgage loan, or (B) second lien
and
second priority security interest with respect to each Second Lien Mortgage
Loan, in either case, on the property described therein and the Company has

right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser.

like collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere with
the
benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Security Agreement.

of Mortgage Documents.
The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered
by
a Mortgagor in connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in
accordance with its terms (including, without limitation, any provisions
therein
relating to prepayment penalties);
-29-
(eee) Construction
or Rehabilitation of Mortgaged Property.
(i) No Mortgage Loan was made in connection with facilitating the trade-in
or exchange of a Mortgaged Property and (ii) a Mortgage Loan has a
certificate of completion if such Mortgage Loan was made in connection with
the
construction or rehabilitation of the related Mortgaged Property;
(fff) [Reserved];
(ggg) Conversion
to Fixed Interest Rate.
No
Mortgage Loan is a Convertible Mortgage Loan;
(hhh) Compliance.
Each
Mortgage Loan is in compliance with the anti-predatory lending eligibility
for
purchase requirements of Xxxxxx Mae’s Selling Guide;
(iii) Balloon
Mortgage Loans.
No
Mortgage Loan is a balloon mortgage loan that has an original stated maturity
of
less than seven (7) years;
(jjj) Mortgagor
Selection.
No
Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product offered
by the Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher cost product designed for
less creditworthy mortgagors, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan’s
origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit history
and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then offered by
the
Mortgage Loan’s originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator.
If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for
a for
a lower cost credit product then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate
of
the Mortgage Loan’s originator, the Mortgage Loan’s originator referred the
related Mortgagor’s application to such affiliate for underwriting
consideration. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material Breach
Representation;
(kkk) Underwriting
Methodology.
The
methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage
Loan
employs objective mathematical principles which relate the Mortgagor’s income,
assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting methodology
does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the
principal determining factor in approving such credit extension. Such
underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination
(application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to make
timely payments on the Mortgage Loan. This representation and warranty is
a
Deemed Material Breach Representation;
(lll) Points
and Fees.
No
Mortgagor was charged “points and fees” (whether or not financed) in an
amount greater than (i) 1,000 or (ii) 5% of the principal amount of such
Mortgage Loan, whichever is greater. For purposes of this representation
such 5%
limitation is calculated in accordance with Xxxxxx Mae’s anti-predatory lending
requirements as set forth in the Xxxxxx Mae Guides, “points and fees” (x)
include origination, underwriting, broker and finder fees and charges that
the
mortgagee imposed as a condition of making the Mortgage Loan, whether they
are
paid to the mortgagee or a third party, and (y) exclude bona fide discount
points, fees paid for actual services rendered in connection with the
origination of the Mortgage Loan (such as attorneys’ fees, notaries fees and
fees paid for property appraisals, credit reports, surveys, title examinations
and extracts, flood and tax certifications, and home inspections), the cost
of
mortgage insurance or credit-risk price adjustments, the costs of title,
hazard,
and flood insurance policies, state and local transfer taxes or fees, escrow
deposits for the future payment of taxes and insurance premiums, and other
miscellaneous fees and charges that, in total, do not exceed 0.25% of the
principal amount of such Mortgage Loan. This representation and warranty
is a
Deemed Material Breach Representation;
-30-
(mmm) Disclosure
of Fees and Charges.
All
fees and charges (including finance charges), whether or not financed, assessed,
collected or to be collected in connection with the origination and servicing
of
each Mortgage Loan, have been disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in
accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation. This
representation and warranty is a Deemed Material Breach
Representation;
(nnn) Tax
Service; Flood Insurance.
Each
Mortgage Loan is covered by a paid in full, life of loan, tax service contract
and paid in full, life of loan, flood certification contract and each of
theses
contracts is assignable to the Purchaser; and
(ooo) Origination
Practices.
No
Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product offered
by the Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher cost product designed for
less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan’s
origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit history
and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost credit product then offered by
the
Mortgage Loan’s originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator.
If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for
a
lower-cost credit product then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate
of the
Mortgage Loan’s originator, the Mortgage Loan’s originator referred the
Mortgagor’s application to such affiliate for underwriting consideration. This
representation and warranty is a Deemed Material Breach
Representation.
Section
3.03 Remedies
for Breach of Representations and Warranties.
(a) Notice
of Breach.
The
representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall
survive
the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit
of the Purchaser, its successors and assigns, notwithstanding any restrictive
or
qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the
examination or failure to examine any Collateral Documents or Credit File.
Upon
discovery by either Indymac or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties that materially and adversely affects the
value
of one or more of the related Mortgage Loans, the party discovering such
breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other.
(b) Cure
or Repurchase.
Within
sixty (60) days from the earlier of either discovery by or notice to
Indymac of a breach of a representation or warranty that materially and
adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans, Indymac
shall use its best efforts to cure such breach in all material respects,
and, if
such breach cannot be cured, Indymac shall, at the Purchaser’s option,
repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, (i) breach of any one of the representation and warranty
set forth in clause (uu) in Subsection 3.02 shall be deemed to
materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loans and,
within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to
Indymac, as the case may be, of such breach, Indymac shall repurchase such
Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price and (ii) any breach of a Deemed Material
and Adverse Representation shall automatically be deemed to materially and
adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the
Purchaser therein. In the event that a breach shall involve any representation
or warranty set forth in Section 3.01 and such breach cannot be cured
within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to
Indymac of such breach, Indymac shall repurchase such of the Mortgage Loans
as
shall be necessary to cure such breach at the Repurchase Price.
-31-
(c) Substitution
or Repurchase.
If the
breach shall involve a representation or warranty set forth in
Section 3.02, Indymac may at the discretion of the Purchaser, rather than
repurchase the Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan
and
substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans,
provided,
however
that
with respect to a breach of any one of the representations and warranties
set
forth in clauses (ee), (rr), (ss), (tt), (uu) and (vv), Indymac shall
indemnify the Purchaser, its successors and assigns, its affiliates, and
their
respective directors, officers and employees, as applicable, and hold them
harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary attorneys’ fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may
sustain
in any way related to Indymac’s breach of such representations and warranties.
If Indymac elects not to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan,
it
shall repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage
Loan(s) pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.03 shall be
accomplished by deposit in the Custodial Account of the amount of the Repurchase
Price for distribution to the Purchaser on the next scheduled Remittance
Date,
after deducting therefrom any amount received in respect of such repurchased
Mortgage Loan or Loans and being held in the Custodial Account for future
distribution. At the time of repurchase or substitution, the Purchaser and
Indymac shall arrange for the reassignment of such Mortgage Loan and release
of
the related Collateral File to Indymac and the delivery to Indymac of any
documents held by the Purchaser or its designee relating to such Mortgage
Loan.
In the event Indymac is authorized to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan for a repurchased Mortgage Loan, Indymac shall, simultaneously with
such
reassignment, give written notice to the Purchaser that substitution has
taken
place and identify the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan(s). In connection
with
any such substitution, Indymac shall be deemed to have made as to such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) the representations and warranties except that
all such representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall
be
deemed made as of the date of such substitution. Indymac shall effect such
substitution by delivering to the Purchaser the Collateral Documents for
such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan(s). Indymac shall deposit in the Custodial
Account the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due on such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) in the month following the date of such
substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans in the month of substitution shall be retained by Indymac. For the
month
of substitution, distributions to the Purchaser shall include the Monthly
Payment due on any substituted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution,
and
Indymac shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received
by Indymac in respect of such substituted Mortgage Loan.
For
any
month in which Indymac substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for
a
repurchased Mortgage Loan, Indymac shall determine the amount (if any) by
which the aggregate principal balance of all Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans
as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of all substituted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled
principal payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such
shortfall shall be distributed by Indymac in the month of substitution pursuant
to Section 5.01. Accordingly, on the date of such substitution, Indymac
shall deposit from its own funds into the Custodial Account an amount equal
to
the amount of such shortfall. Notwithstanding the above, in no event shall
Indymac substitute a loan that has been placed in a trust with respect to
a
securitization.
-32-
In
addition to such cure and repurchase obligations, Indymac shall indemnify
the
Purchaser, its successors and assigns, its affiliates, and their respective
directors, officers and employees, as applicable, and hold the Purchaser,
its
affiliates and each such person harmless against any damages, penalties,
fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments,
and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or
assertion by any third party that is based on or grounded upon, or resulting
from, a breach of Indymac’s representations and warranties contained in this
Agreements.
Section
3.04 Accrual
of Cause of Action.
Any
cause
of action against Indymac relating to or arising out of the breach of any
representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 or 3.02 shall accrue
as to
any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by the Purchaser or
notice thereof by Indymac to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by Indymac to cure
such breach or substitute or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above,
or (iii) demand upon Indymac by the Purchaser for compliance with the
relevant provisions of this Agreement.

Section

Indymac
shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a federal
savings bank under the laws of the United States or under the laws of one
of the
states thereof, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business
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.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any Person into which Indymac
may be
merged or consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion
or
consolidation to which Indymac shall be a party, or any Person succeeding
to the
business of Indymac, shall be the successor of Indymac hereunder, without
the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of
the
parties hereto; provided,
however,
that
the successor or surviving Person shall be an institution whose deposits
are

of
mortgage loans, unless otherwise consented to by the Purchaser, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall be qualified to service mortgage
loans on behalf of an Agency.
Section
5.04 Limitation
on Liability of Indymac and Others.
Neither
Indymac nor any of the officers, employees or agents of Indymac shall be
under
any liability to the Purchaser for any action taken, or for refraining from
taking any action, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors
in
judgment; provided,
however,
that
this provision shall not protect Indymac or any such person against any breach
of warranties or representations made herein, or any liability which would
otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions
of this
Agreement and, provided further,
that
this provision shall not protect Indymac or any such person against any
liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of the willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless
disregard of the obligations or duties hereunder. Indymac and any officer,
employee or agent of Indymac may rely in good faith on any document of any
kind
prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any
matters
arising hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this
Agreement, unless one or more Event of Default by Indymac shall occur and
shall
not have been remedied within the time limits set forth in Section 7.1 of
the Servicing Agreement, the Purchaser shall not record or cause to be recorded
an Assignment of Mortgage with the recording office. To the extent the Purchaser
records with the recording office as permitted herein an Assignment of Mortgage
which designates the Purchaser as the holder of record of the Mortgage, the
Purchaser agrees that it shall (i) provide Indymac with immediate notice of
any action with respect to the Mortgage or the related Mortgaged Property
and
ensure that the proper department or person at Indymac receives such notice;
and
(ii) immediately complete, sign and return to Indymac any document
reasonably requested by Indymac to comply with its servicing obligations,
including without limitation, any instrument required to release the Mortgage
upon payment in full of the obligation or take any other action reasonably
required by Indymac. The Purchaser further agrees that Indymac shall have
no
liability for the Purchaser’s failure to comply with the subsections (i) or
(ii) in the foregoing sentence. Indymac shall have no liability to the
Purchaser and shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or
defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service
the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion
may
involve it in any expenses or liability; provided,
however,
that
Indymac may, with the consent of the Purchaser, undertake any such action
which
it may deem necessary or desirable to protect the Purchaser’s interests in the
Mortgage Loans. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action
and
any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities
for
which the Purchaser will be liable, and Indymac shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor from the Purchaser upon written demand except when such
expenses, costs and liabilities are subject to Indymac’s indemnification under
Sections 3.03 and 5.01.

shall not assign this Agreement or the servicing rights hereunder, without

Section
6.02 Sale
Treatment.
It
is the
express intention of the parties that the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by Indymac
and
not a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by Indymac to the Purchaser to secure
a debt
or other obligation of Indymac. Consequently, the sale of each Mortgage Loan
shall be reflected as a sale on Indymac’s business records, tax returns and
financial statements. Accordingly, Indymac and the Purchaser shall each treat
the transaction for federal income tax purposes as a sale by Indymac, and
a
purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans.

Section
6.07 Assignment
of Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser; Securitization Transactions.
(a) The
Purchaser may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, sell and transfer
one or
more of the Mortgage Loans; provided,

that
the transferee will not be deemed to be the Purchaser hereunder unless such
transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement
and
an original counterpart of the document evidencing such agreement shall have
been executed by the Purchaser and the transferee and delivered to Indymac.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no transfer shall be effective if such transfer
would result in there being more than five (5) “Purchasers” outstanding
hereunder with respect to any Mortgage Loan Package. Any trust to which Mortgage
Loans may be transferred pursuant to Section 6.07(b) hereunder shall
constitute a single Purchaser for the purposes of the preceding

(b) The
Purchaser and Indymac agree that with respect to some or all of the Mortgage
Loans, the Purchaser, at its sole option, but subject to the limitations
set
forth in Section 6.07(a) hereof, may effect Securitization
Transactions and Whole Loan Transfer, retaining Indymac as the servicer thereof
or subservicer if a master servicer is employed, or as applicable the

to
effectuate the Securitization Transaction and Whole Loan Transfer, provided
such
agreement creates no greater obligation or cost on the part of Indymac than
otherwise set forth in this Agreement, and provided further
that
Indymac shall be entitled to a servicing fee under that agreement at a rate
per
annum no less than the Servicing Fee Rate; and
-37-
(ii) provide
as applicable:
(A) information
pertaining to Indymac of the type and scope customarily included in offering

(B) such
opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials
or officers of Indymac as are reasonably believed necessary by the trustee,
any
rating agency or the Purchaser, as the case may be, in connection with such
Securitization Transaction and Whole Loan Transfer. The Purchaser shall pay
all
reasonable third party costs associated with the preparation of the information
described in clause (ii)(A) above and the delivery of any opinions, letters
or certificates described in this clause (ii)(B). Indymac shall not be required
to execute any seller/servicer agreement unless a draft of the agreement

related costs, judgments, and any other costs to which any such party may
be
subject to as a result of any untrue statement of any material fact contained
in
any information (such information, the “Indymac

Servicer by Indymac for inclusion in any related offering document or prospectus

or
by any independent contractors or independent mortgage brokerage companies
on
its behalf, to personally, by telephone or mail, solicit the mortgagor under

Indymac may solicit any mortgagor from whom it or its servicing affiliate
has
received a request for verification of mortgage, a request for demand for
payoff, a mortgagor initiated written or verbal communication indicating
a
desire to prepay the related Mortgage Loan, or the mortgagor initiates a

search, provided further,
it is
understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by Indymac or any of its
affiliates which (i) concern optional insurance products or other
additional projects or (ii) are directed to the general public at large,
including, without limitation, mass mailings based on commercially acquired
mailing lists, newspapers, radio and television advertisements shall not
constitute solicitation nor is Indymac prohibited from responding to unsolicited
requests or inquiries made by a mortgagor or an agent of a mortgagor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following solicitations, if undertaken
by
Indymac or any affiliate of Indymac, shall not be prohibited:
(i) solicitations that are directed to the general public at large,
including, without limitation, mass mailings based on commercially acquired
mailing lists and newspaper, radio, television and other mass media
advertisements and (ii) borrower messages included on, and statement

Section
6.15 Entire
Agreement.
This
Agreement and the related Trade Confirmation and Purchase Confirmation
constitute the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect
to
each Mortgage Loan Package and supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral
or
written communications regarding same. Indymac and the Purchaser understand
and
agree that no employee, agent or other representative of Indymac or the

representation, warranty or other expression unless said statement,
representation, warranty or other expression is specifically included within

ARTICLE
VII
COMPLIANCE
WITH REGULATION AB
Section
7.01 Intent
of the Parties; Reasonableness.
The
Purchaser and Indymac acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article VII
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,
Indymac
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). Indymac 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 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, Indymac shall cooperate fully with the Purchaser to deliver
to the
Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) and any Depositor,
any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other
information necessary in the good faith determination of the Purchaser or
any
Depositor to permit the Purchaser or such Depositor to comply with the
provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to Indymac,
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.
-41-
The
Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate
with Indymac 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.
Section
7.02 Additional
Representations and Warranties of Indymac.
(a) Indymac
shall be deemed to represent to the Purchaser and to any Depositor, as of
the
date on which information is first provided to the Purchaser or any Depositor

received notice that any default, early amortization or other performance
triggering event has occurred as to any other securitization due to any act
or
failure to act of Indymac; (ii) Indymac has not been terminated as servicer
in a residential mortgage loan securitization, either due to a servicing

servicer has been disclosed or reported by Indymac; (iv) no material

function it will perform under the Servicing Agreement and any Reconstitution

condition that could have a material adverse effect on the performance by
Indymac of its servicing obligations under the Servicing Agreement or any
Reconstitution Agreement; (vi) there are no material legal or governmental

Information shall be prepared by Indymac (or Third-Party Originator) on the
basis of its reasonable, good faith interpretation of the requirements of

shall be entitled to specify whether some or all of such information shall
be
provided pursuant to this paragraph. The content of such Static Pool Information
