Jumbo Asset Depletion Mortgage Loan: A Jumbo Mortgage Loan that (a) is not a Qualified Mortgage and (b) was originated by Seller or a third party originator and acquired by Seller in accordance with Seller’s origination and/or underwriting guidelines, taking into account the related Mortgagor’s documented and qualifying income from existing assets other than wages and salaries.

Jumbo Mortgage Loan: Unless defined otherwise in the Transactions Terms Letter, a first lien mortgage loan or Cooperative Loan (i) with respect to which Seller has obtained a Purchase Commitment on or prior to the related Purchase Date, (ii) for which the original loan amount is greater than the conforming limit in the jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located, and (iii) meets the transaction requirements set forth on Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 to the Transactions Terms Letter.
