(a)                Upon receipt of notice from the Purchaser that any document, required to be included (pursuant to the definition of “Mortgage File”) in the Mortgage File delivered to the Purchaser or its designee with respect to a Mortgage Loan sold by the Seller hereunder, was not included therein or has not been executed, the Seller shall correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date the Seller receives notice thereof or, if such defect cannot be corrected or cured within such 90-day period, the Seller shall, not later than the expiration of such 90-day period, either (a) repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser or its transferee at the Repurchase Price or (b) within the three-month period commencing on the related Closing Date (or within the two-year period commencing on such Closing Date if the related Mortgage Loan is a “defective obligation” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(f)), substitute for such Mortgage Loan one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans each of which is a “qualified replacement mortgage” (as defined in the Code); provided, however, that in the event that such defect consists solely of the failure of the Seller to deliver any Recording Document with respect to such Mortgage Loan, due to a delay on the part of the recording office, then the Seller shall not be required to repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan. If such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” (as defined in the Code), then notwithstanding the previous sentence, the repurchase or substitution must occur within the sooner of (i) 90 days from the date the defect was discovered by the Seller, the Purchaser or any other party to the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (ii) in the case of substitution, two years from the related Closing Date.

12


 

(c)                In connection with the substitution of one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Reacquired Mortgage Loans on any date, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the Substitution Price for such Reacquired Mortgage Loans.

(d)               Concurrently with each such substitution, the Seller shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Purchaser or its designee the Mortgage File for each Substitute Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, the Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, to the extent applicable (including, without limitation, the Seller’s obligations with respect to the Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.4 and Sections 2.3 and 3.3).  The Seller and the Purchaser shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the Prepayment Charge Schedule in a timely fashion to delete all repurchased Mortgage Loans and Reacquired Mortgage Loans and add all Substitute Mortgage Loans.

(f)                 Monthly Payments due with respect to Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not owed by the Purchaser and will be retained by the Seller.  Any such payments received by the Purchaser or its transferee shall promptly be remitted by the Purchaser to the Seller.  For the month of substitution, distributions to the Purchaser will reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Reacquired Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Reacquired Mortgage Loan.  Any such payments received by the Seller on such Reacquired Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution shall promptly be remitted by the Seller to the Purchaser or its transferee.

(g)                Upon receipt by the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price or the Substitution Price, as applicable, and (in the case of a substitution for a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.4 or Section 3.3) upon receipt by the Purchaser of such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Purchaser title to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser shall release to the Seller the Mortgage File for the repurchased Mortgage Loan or the Reacquired Mortgage Loan, as applicable, and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller title to such Mortgage Loan.

(h)                The Seller shall pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any repurchase or substitution by the Seller made pursuant to this Section 2.4 or Section 3.3.

(i)                  It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Section 2.4 constitute the sole remedies available to the Purchaser or its transferee respecting the Seller’s failure to include in the Mortgage File for a Mortgage Loan sold by the Seller the documents required to be included therein.

THE SELLER CONCERNING THE MORTGAGE LOANS;
REPURCHASE OR SUBSTITUTION OF MORTGAGE LOANS

Section 3.1.          Seller Representations and Warranties Concerning the Mortgage Loans

The Seller hereby represents and warrants to and covenants to and agrees with the Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan sold by the Seller hereunder, as of the related Cut-off Date unless otherwise indicated, subject in all cases (including, without limitation, clauses (xxxv) and (xlvi) to such exceptions, if any, as are set forth on Schedule III to the related Term Sheet:

(ii)        ([reserved];

(iii)       As of the Closing Date, each Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first or second lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements thereon, subject only to (a) the lien of non-delinquent current real property taxes and assessments, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally or specifically reflected in the appraisal made in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan and which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, (c) 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 such Mortgage and (d) in the case of a second lien, only to a first lien on such Mortgaged Property;

(iv)       Immediately prior to the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the Seller had good title to, and was the sole legal and beneficial owner of, each Mortgage Loan, free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest and has full right and authority, subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party to sell and assign the same.  As of the Closing Date, the form of endorsement of each Mortgage Note satisfied the requirement, if any, of endorsement in order to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note; and each Assignment to be delivered hereunder is in recordable form and is sufficient to effect the assignment of and to transfer to the assignee thereunder the benefits of the assignor, as mortgagee or assignee thereof, under each Mortgage to which that Assignment relates;

(v)        As of the Closing Date, there is no delinquent tax or assessment lien against any Mortgaged Property;

(vi)       As of the Closing Date, there is no valid offset, defense or counterclaim to any Mortgage Note (including any obligation of the Mortgagor to pay the unpaid principal of or interest on such Mortgage Note) or the Mortgage, 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 Note or 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;

15


 

 

(vii)      As of the Closing Date, there are no mechanics’ liens or claims for work, labor or material affecting any Mortgaged Property which are or may be a lien prior to, or equal with, the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in (xi) below;

(viii)      As of the Closing Date, each Mortgaged Property is free of material damage and is at least in average repair;

(ix)       Each Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all material respects with applicable local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, predatory and abusive lending, usury, equal credit opportunity, real estate settlement procedures, truth-in-lending and disclosure laws, and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation the receipt of interest does not involve the violation of any such laws;

(x)        As of the Closing Date, neither the Seller nor any prior holder of any Mortgage has modified the Mortgage in any material respect, satisfied, canceled or subordinated such Mortgage in whole or in part; released the related Mortgaged Property in whole or in part from the lien of such Mortgage; or executed any instrument of release, cancellation, modification or satisfaction with respect thereto (except that a Mortgage Loan may have been modified by a written instrument signed by the Seller or a prior holder of the Mortgage Loan which has been recorded, if necessary, to protect the interests of the Seller and the Purchaser and which has been delivered to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser as part of the Mortgage File, and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule);

(xi)       A lender’s policy of title insurance together with a condominium endorsement and extended coverage endorsement, if applicable, and, with respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in an amount at least equal to the balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date or a commitment (binder) to issue the same was effective on the date of the origination of each Mortgage Loan, each such policy is valid and remains in full force and effect as of the Closing Date, the transfer of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser and the Trustee does not affect the validity or enforceability of such policy and each such policy was issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located and acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and in a form acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac on the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan, which policy insures the Seller and successor owners of indebtedness secured by the insured Mortgage, as to the first or second, as the case may be, priority lien of the Mortgage; as of the Closing Date, no claims have been made under such mortgage title insurance policy and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such mortgage title insurance policy;

16


 

 

(xii)      Each Mortgage Loan was originated by, or generated on behalf of, the Seller, or originated by a savings and loan association, savings bank, commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority, or by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act;

(xvii)     As of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Mortgagor enforceable against the Mortgagor by the mortgagee or its representative in accordance with its terms, except only as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by law.  All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had full legal capacity to execute all Mortgage Loan documents and to convey the estate purported to be conveyed by the Mortgage and each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been duly and validly executed by such parties;

(xx)      As of the Closing Date, with respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor;

22


 

 

c.         The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Group I Mortgage Loan employs objective mathematical principles which relate the borrower’s income, assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the borrower’s equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such credit extension.  Such underwriting methodology provided reasonable assurance that at the time of origination (application/approval) the borrower had a reasonable ability to make timely payments on the Group I Mortgage Loan;

e.         All points and fees related to each Group I Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing to the borrower in accordance with applicable state and federal law.  Except in the case of a Group I Mortgage Loan in an original principal amount of less than $60,000 which would have resulted in an unprofitable origination, no borrower was charged “points and fees” (whether or not financed) in an amount greater than 5% of the principal amount of such loan, such 5% limitation calculated in accordance with the Lender Letter;

f.          All fees and charges (including finance charges) and whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to be collected in connection with the origination and servicing of each Group I Mortgage Loan have been disclosed in writing to the borrower in accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation;

The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser as of each Closing Date on which the Seller sells Mortgage Loans hereunder, and with respect to such Mortgage Loans, as of such Closing Date:

24


 

 

(i)         The Seller is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(ii)        The Seller has all licenses necessary to carry on its business as now being conducted and is licensed, qualified and in good standing in the states where the Mortgaged Properties are located if the laws of such states require licensing or qualification in order to conduct business of the type conducted by the Seller and to the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of each Mortgage Loan.  The Seller has the corporate power and authority to hold each Mortgage Loan, to sell each Mortgage Loan, to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement, the Term Sheet, the Confidential Pricing Supplement and all documents and instruments executed and delivered pursuant hereto and to perform its obligations in accordance therewith.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Seller and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the repurchase obligations herein contained, have been duly and validly authorized.  This Agreement, the Term Sheet, the Confidential Pricing Supplement and all other documents and instruments contemplated hereby to which the Seller is a party, in each case assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Purchaser, evidence the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Seller, subject as to enforceability, (i) to bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditor’s rights, and (ii) to general principles of equity, whether such enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.  All requisite corporate action has been taken by the Seller to make this Agreement valid and binding upon the Seller in accordance with its terms.

(iii)       No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any court or governmental agency or body relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the transfer of legal title to the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, is required as to the Seller or, if required, such consent, approval, authorization, or order has been or will, prior to the applicable Closing Date, be obtained, except for any recordation of Mortgages or assignments of Mortgages or filing of UCC financing statements or amendments thereto to or for the benefit of the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.

(iv)       The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, are in the ordinary course of business of the Seller and will not (i) result in the breach of any term or provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Seller, (ii) result in the breach of any term or provision of, or conflict with or constitute a default under, or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any material agreement, indenture, loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which the Seller or its property is subject or (iii) result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, or decree to which the Seller or its property is subject.

25


 

 

(v)        There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, threatened, against the Seller which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, is likely, in the Seller’s judgment, to result, in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Seller to carry on its business substantially as now conducted, or which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of the Seller contemplated herein or therein, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

(vi)       The Seller is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) approved mortgagee pursuant to Section 203 of the National Housing Act of 1934, as amended.  No event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would make the Seller unable to comply with HUD eligibility requirements or which would require notification to HUD.

(vii)      The Seller is not in violation of, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation with respect to, any order or decree of any court or any order or regulation of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Seller or its assets, which violation might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the condition, financial or otherwise, or the operations, of the Seller or its assets or might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the performance of its obligations and duties hereunder.

(viii)      Upon payment of the Purchase Price by the Purchaser, in the event that the Seller retains record title to a Mortgage, the Seller shall retain such record title to such Mortgage solely in trust for the Purchaser as owner thereof.

Section 3.3.          Repurchases and Substitutions in the Event of Breach of Seller Representations and Warranties

(a)                It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 shall survive the sale of Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment.

(b)               Upon discovery by the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1 that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Purchaser in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other and the NIMS Insurer. Any breach of the representation set forth in the last sentence of clause (xxxix), clause (xlvi), the first sentence (xlvii), clause (lxi) and clause (lxiv) of Section 3.1 shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan. Within 90 days of its discovery of breach or its receipt of notice of breach from the Purchaser or its designee, the Seller shall repurchase from the Purchaser or its transferee the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans or any property acquired in respect thereof, or substitute one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans therefor, unless it has cured such breach in all material respects. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the manner and within the time limits set forth in Section 2.4. If such breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” (as defined in the Code), then notwithstanding the previous sentence, the repurchase or substitution must occur within the sooner of (i) 90 days from the date the defect was discovered by the Seller, the Purchaser or any other party to the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (ii) in the case of substitution, two years from the related Closing Date.

26


 

 

(c)                Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, promptly upon the earlier of discovery by the Seller or receipt of notice by the Seller of the breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller set forth in Section 3.1(i) if such breach relates to any field on the Mortgage Loan Schedule which identifies any Prepayment Charge or Section 3.1(xxxix), in each case, which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser or its designee to any Prepayment Charge and such Prepayment Charge has been triggered pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note, the Seller shall pay the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge (net of any amount previously collected by or paid to the Purchaser or the Trustee in respect of such Prepayment Charge), and the Seller shall have no obligation to repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan.  Payments by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this paragraph shall be made within two Business Days of the earlier of discovery by the Seller or receipt of notice by the Seller of the breach of the related representation or warranty. 

(d)               It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Section 3.3 constitute the sole remedies available to the Purchaser or its transferee respecting a breach of the representations and warranties by the Seller set forth in Section 3.1.

(e)                In addition to such cure, repurchase or substitution obligation, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from the defense of any claim against the Purchaser by a third party resulting from a breach of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in this Article 3.

Section 7.11.      Intention of the Parties

It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is selling, Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the Seller or other security.  Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat each of the transactions hereunder for federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of Mortgage Loans.  The Purchaser shall have the right to review the Mortgage Loans to determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans, and the Seller shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review.

33


 

 

Section 7.12.      Nonsolicitation

34

Section 7.14.      Security Interest

(a)                The parties hereto intend that each transfer of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable Term Sheet constitute a sale by the Seller to the Purchaser of such Mortgage Loan, including for accounting purposes, and not a secured borrowing.  It is, further, not the intention of the parties that any such transfer be deemed the grant of a security interest in any Mortgage Loan by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, any Mortgage Loan is held to be the property of the Seller, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in any Mortgage Loan, then (a) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement; and (b) the transfer provided for in this Agreement and the applicable Term Sheet shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of, and the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, to secure all of the Seller’s obligations hereunder, a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under: (i) the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule to each Term Sheet; (ii) all accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts, documents, general intangibles, goods, instruments, investment property, letter-of-credit rights, letters of credit, money, and oil, gas, and other minerals, consisting of, arising from, or relating to, any of the foregoing; and (iii) all proceeds of the foregoing.  The Purchaser shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code.

(b)               The Seller shall take or cause to be taken such actions and execute such documents, including without limitation the filing of any financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements, as are necessary to perfect the Purchaser’s interests in each Mortgage Loan.  The Seller shall file such financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments on a timely basis.

(c)                No later than ten (10) days following each Closing Date, the Seller shall file in the applicable jurisdictions such UCC financing statements covering the Mortgage Loans sold by the Seller on such Closing Date as are necessary to perfect the Purchaser’s interests in such Mortgage Loans.

Section 7.15.      Covenant Not to Place Purchaser or Trust Into Bankruptcy

The Seller covenants that it shall not, until at least one year and one day after all securities issued by any Trust to which the Purchaser has transferred Mortgage Loans have been paid in full, take any action to file an involuntary bankruptcy petition against the Purchaser or any Trust.
