(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, MortgageIT and the TRS Sub-Trust intend the sale and transfer of the TRS Mortgage Loans to UBS under the Loan Repurchase Agreement, this Loan Sale Agreement or the Loan Participation Agreement to be sales of the TRS Mortgage Loans rather than borrowings secured by the Mortgage Loans for legal purposes.
(e) If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that either Servicer may not enforce a Mortgage on the ground that it is not a real party in interest or holder entitled to enforce the Mortgage, the related Sub-Trust shall, at the expense of the related Seller, take such steps as such Servicer deems necessary to enforce the Mortgage, including bringing suit in the such Sub-Trust’s name.

SECTION 2.03 Intention of the Parties; Grant of Security Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each transfer of the Eligible Mortgage Loans to be made pursuant to the terms hereof shall constitute an absolute assignment and a sale or capital contribution of such Eligible Mortgage Loan by the related Seller to the Trust and not a loan.

4
that this Loan Sale Agreement is deemed to be a security agreement and that such Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Trust as of the date hereof a first priority perfected security interest in all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under each Mortgage Loan and all related Mortgage Documents whether now or hereafter acquired and wherever located, and all income and proceeds thereof.

In addition, such Seller shall pay as and when billed by UBS all of the
18
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by UBS in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, the Transaction Documents or any other documents prepared in connection therewith.

No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would result in negative amortization. Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than 60 days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Interest Rate is adjusted, with respect to the Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date to equal the applicable index plus the Gross Margin (rounded up or down to nearest 0.125%), subject to the Maximum Mortgage Interest Rate. The Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which installments of interest, with respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty years from commencement of amortization. In the case of a Balloon Loan, monthly payments are based on a fifteen (15) or thirty (30) year amortization schedule, as set forth in the related Mortgage Note, and a final monthly payment substantially greater than the preceding monthly payment which is sufficient to amortize the remaining principal balance of the Balloon Loan and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. Interest on each Mortgage Loan is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Mortgage Note has the terms identified in the applicable Funding Confirmation. The due date of the first payment under the Mortgage Note is no more than 60 days from the date of the Mortgage Note. No Mortgage Loan is a Convertible Mortgage Loan;

Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property.
