In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS
Mortgage Loan, the Seller agrees that it will cause, at the
Seller's expense,
the MERS(R) System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have
been assigned by
the Seller to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with this
Agreement for the
benefit of the Noteholders, by including (or deleting, in the
case of Mortgage
Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement)
in such computer
files the information required by the MERS(R) System to identify
the series of
Notes issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Seller
further agrees
that it will not, and will not permit the Servicer or the Master
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.
In instances where, for a Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS
Mortgage Loan, the original recorded Mortgage is not delivered
as provided
above, and in instances where intervening assignments called for
by clause (v)
above are unavailable, the Seller will deliver or cause to be
delivered the
original recorded Mortgage and intervening assignments to the
Indenture Trustee
or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee promptly
upon receipt
thereof but in no event later than one year after the Closing
Date.
The Seller hereby confirms to the Purchaser that it has
caused
the portions of the Electronic Ledger relating to the Mortgage
Loans to be
clearly and unambiguously marked, and has made the appropriate
entries in its
general accounting records, to indicate that such Mortgage Loans
have been
transferred to the Indenture Trustee, as designee of the
Purchaser, and
constitute part of the Trust in accordance with the terms of the
trust created
hereunder.
(c) The parties hereto intend that the transactions set
forth herein be a sale by the Seller to the Purchaser of all the
Seller's right,
title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and other
property described
above and the sale by the Purchaser to the Trust of all the
Purchaser's right,
title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and other
property described
above. In the event either transaction set forth herein is
deemed not to be a
sale, the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, and the
Purchaser hereby grants
to the Indenture Trustee, a security interest in all of its
respective right,
title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other
property
described above; and this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under
applicable law. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the
extent consistent
with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to
ensure that, if
this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the
Mortgage Loans,
such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected
security interest of
first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as
such throughout
the term of the Agreement.
4
<PAGE>
Except as may otherwise expressly be provided herein,
neither
the Seller nor the Purchaser shall assign, sell, dispose of or
transfer any
interest in the Trust or any portion thereof, or permit the
Trust or any portion
thereof to be subject to any lien, claim, mortgage, security
interest, pledge or
other encumbrance of, any other Person.
In the event that the parties hereto have failed to transfer
the entire legal ownership in and to each Mortgage Loan to the
Trust, the
parties hereto intend that this document operate to transfer the
entire
equitable ownership interest in and to each Mortgage Loan to the
Trust.
(d) Except with respect to any MERS Mortgage Loan, within
thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, the Seller, at its own
expense, shall
prepare and send for recording the Assignments of Mortgage in
favor of the
Indenture Trustee, in the appropriate real property or other
records. With
respect to any Assignment of Mortgage as to which the related
recording
information is unavailable within thirty (30) days following the
Closing Date,
such Assignment of Mortgage shall be submitted for recording
within thirty (30)
days after receipt of such information but in no event later
than one year after
the Closing Date. The Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on
behalf of the
Indenture Trustee shall be required to retain a copy of each
Assignment of
Mortgage submitted for recording. In the event that any such
Assignment of
Mortgage is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect
therein, the Seller
shall promptly prepare a substitute Assignment of Mortgage or
cure such defect,
as the case may be, and thereafter the Seller shall be required
to submit each
such Assignment of Mortgage for recording. Any failure of the
Seller to comply
with this Section 2.1(d) shall result in the obligation of the
Seller to
purchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loans pursuant
to the provisions
of Section 2.2.
(e) [Reserved].
(f) If the Seller is given notice that a Mortgage File is
defective or incomplete and if the Seller does not correct or
cure such omission
or defect within the 90-day period specified in this Section
2.1(f), the Seller
shall purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust on the
Determination Date in
the month following the month in which such 90-day period
expired at the
Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan. At any time the Seller
exercises its
option to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.1,
the Seller shall
notify the Purchaser, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the
Securities
Administrator and the Indenture Trustee of any such repurchase
no later than
five Business Days prior to the Determination Date of the month
in which it
wishes to repurchase such Mortgage Loans and the Seller shall
repurchase such
Mortgage Loan from the Trust on such Determination Date. The
Purchase Price for
any purchased or repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be delivered to
the Servicer
for deposit in the Collection Account no later than the
applicable Determination
Date; and, upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee or the
Custodian on behalf of
the Indenture Trustee of written notification of such deposit
signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Seller, the Indenture Trustee or the
Custodian on
behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall, in accordance with
Section 3.07 of the
Servicing Agreement, release to the Seller the related Mortgage
File and the
Indenture Trustee or the Custodian shall execute and deliver
such instruments of
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall
be necessary to
vest in the Seller or its designee any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to
purchase
5
<PAGE>
any Mortgage Loan as to which a material defect in or omission
of a constituent
document exists shall constitute the sole remedy against the
Seller respecting
such defect or omission available to the Servicer (in its role
as such), the
Master Servicer, the Noteholders, the Securities Administrator
or the Indenture
Trustee on behalf of Noteholders. If pursuant to the foregoing
provisions the
Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan,
the Seller
shall cause the Servicer, at the Seller's expense, to either (i)
cause MERS to
execute and deliver an Assignment of 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(R) System in accordance with MERS'
rules and
regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS(R)
System the Seller as
the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
The Seller, promptly following the transfer of (i) a
Mortgage
Loan from or (ii) an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan to the
Trust pursuant to
this Section 2.1 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, shall amend
the Mortgage
Loan Schedule, appropriately mark the Electronic Ledger and make
appropriate
entries in its general account records to reflect such transfer
and the addition
of any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, if applicable.
Section 2.2 AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE.
The Seller agrees to sell and the Purchaser agrees to
purchase, on or before March 31, 2005 (the "Closing Date"),
certain fixed-rate
and adjustable-rate mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"),
having an aggregate
principal balance as of the close of business on the Cut-Off
Date of
$749,999,268.09 (the "Closing Balance"), after giving effect to
all payments due
on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-Off Date, whether or
not received,
including the right to any Prepayment Charges payable by the
related Mortgagors
in connection with any Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage
Loans. The purchase
price payable in connection with such sale shall consist of (i)
the cash
proceeds from the sale of the Notes and (ii) delivery of the
Trust Certificates
to the Seller.
The Seller and the Purchaser intend that the sale of the
Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, followed by the Purchaser's
sale of the
Mortgage Loans to the Issuer, shall be treated for federal,
state and local tax
purposes as a transfer by the Seller directly to the Issuer
(followed by the
issuance by the Issuer of Notes that are intended by all parties
to such
issuance to be treated for federal, state and local tax purposes
as indebtedness
of the Seller secured by the Mortgage Loans).
