(b)   Sale of Mortgage Loans .  Except with respect to MERS Mortgage Loans, record title to each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note shall be in the name of the Purchaser or as Purchaser shall designate.  The Seller shall reflect the sale of each Mortgage Loan on the Seller’s balance sheet and other financial statements as a sale of assets.  This Agreement continuously, from the time of its execution, shall be an official record of the Seller and Seller will maintain a copy of this Agreement and each agreement related hereto in its official books and records.

Section 2.03.   Identification of Mortgage Loan Package .  At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall identify those Mortgage Loans that Purchaser intends to be included in the Mortgage Loan Package.
