The Mortgage (including any Negative Amortization which may arise thereunder) is a valid, existing and enforceable (A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a first lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a second lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, (c) with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a second lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) a first lien on the Mortgaged Property; and (d) 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 the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.

The Mortgagor is a natural person or a revocable inter vivos trust that is in compliance with Fannie Mae’s requirements, or, if the Mortgaged Property is located in Illinois, an Illinois land trust that is in compliance with Fannie Mae’s requirements. In the event that the Mortgagor is a revocable inter vivos trust or an Illinois land trust, the Mortgage Loan is guaranteed by a natural person or a natural person is a co-borrower under the related Mortgage Loan.

The Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) lender’s title insurance policy (which, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan has an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1) acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac , issued by a Qualified Insurer, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (x)(a) and (b), and with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan (c), above) the Seller, its successors and assigns as to the first or second priority lien (as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (including, if the Mortgage Loan provides for Negative Amortization, the maximum amount of Negative Amortization in accordance with the Mortgage) and, with respect to any Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment and Negative Amortization provisions of the Mortgage Note.

With respect to each second lien Mortgage Loan (i) the first lien mortgage loan is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under such first lien mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder, (iv) either (A) the first lien mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the second lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or otherwise under the first lien mortgage, (v) the related first lien mortgage does not provide for or permit negative amortization under such first lien Mortgage Loan, and (vi) either no consent for the Mortgage Loan is required by the holder of the first lien or such consent has been obtained and is contained in the Mortgage File.

Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced being due no more than sixty (60) days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is not a Negative Amortization Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in Monthly Payments, which, in the case of a Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan during the interest-only period or a Mortgage Loan which is identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as a Balloon Mortgage Loan) and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, are changed on each Adjustment Date, and in any case, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan during the interest-only period or a Mortgage Loan which is identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as a Balloon Mortgage Loan) and

to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Negative Amortization Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Note requires a Monthly Payment which is sufficient during the period following each Payment Adjustment Date, to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period (including any Negative Amortization) over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate; provided, that the Monthly Payment shall not increase to an amount that exceeds 107.5% of the amount of the Monthly Payment that was due immediately prior to the Payment Adjustment Date; provided, further, that the payment adjustment cap shall not be applicable with respect to the adjustment made to the Monthly Payment that occurs in a year in which the Mortgage Loan has been outstanding for a multiple of five (5) years and in any such year the Monthly Payment shall be adjusted to fully amortize the Mortgage Loan over the remaining term. With respect to each Mortgage Loan identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan, the interest-only period shall not exceed ten (10) years (or such other period specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) and following the expiration of such interest-only period, the remaining Monthly Payments shall be sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the remaining term of the Mortgage Loan and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Balloon Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate and requires a final Monthly Payment substantially greater than the preceding monthly payment which is sufficient to repay the remaining unpaid principal balance of the Balloon Mortgage Loan at the Due Date of such monthly payment. The Index for each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan is as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgage Loan is a Convertible Mortgage Loan. No Balloon Mortgage Loan has an original stated maturity of less than seven (7) years.

The origination, servicing and collection practices used with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage including, without limitation, the establishment, maintenance and servicing of the Escrow Accounts and Escrow Payments, if any, since origination, have been in all respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage origination and servicing industry. The Mortgage Loan has been serviced by the Seller and any predecessor servicer in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note and Accepted Servicing Practices.

The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines in effect at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated; and the Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac .

Except as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property which satisfied the standards of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac , was on an appraisal form acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and was made and signed, prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application, by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by the Seller, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan and who met the minimum qualifications of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

No Mortgage Loan had an LTV or a CLTV at origination in excess of 97%. Each Mortgage Loan with an LTV at origination in excess of 80% is and will be subject to a Primary Insurance Policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, which insures that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of the portion of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as required by Fannie Mae. With respect to any Mortgage Loan which allows Negative Amortization, such Primary Insurance Policy contains provisions to cover the potential Negative Amortization of such Mortgage Loan. All provisions of such Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such Primary Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan does not include any such insurance premium. Except to the extent specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, no Mortgage Loan is subject to a lender paid primary mortgage insurance policy. The Mortgage Interest Rate specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any LPMI Fee.

The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first or second (as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac .

No Mortgagor was required to purchase any credit insurance product (e.g., life, mortgage, disability, accident, unemployment or health insurance product) or debt cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability, accident, unemployment or health insurance) or debt cancellation agreement in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single premium credit insurance policies or debt cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan.

The Mortgage Loan was not prepaid in full prior to the Closing Date.

As of the related Closing Date, each Mortgage Loan is eligible for sale in the secondary market or for inclusion in a Securitization Transaction.

Except as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, none of the Mortgage Loans are subject to a Prepayment Charge. For any Mortgage Loan originated prior to October 1, 2002 that is subject to a Prepayment Charge, such Prepayment Charge does not extend beyond five (5) years after the date of origination. For any Mortgage Loan originated on or following October 1, 2002 that is subject to a Prepayment Charge, such Prepayment Charge does not extend beyond three (3) years after the date of origination. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition of a premium upon a prepayment prior to maturity: (i) prior to the Mortgage Loan's origination, the Mortgagor agreed to such premium in exchange for a monetary benefit, including but not limited to a rate or fee reduction, (ii) if required by law, prior to the Mortgage Loan's origination, the Mortgagor was offered the option of obtaining a Mortgage Loan that did not require payment of such a premium, (iii) the prepayment premium is disclosed to the Mortgagor in the loan documents pursuant to applicable law, and (iv) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, the Seller shall not impose such Prepayment Charge in any instance when the mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of the Mortgagor's default in making the loan payments.

All points and fees related to each Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing to the related Borrower in accordance with applicable state and federal laws and regulations. No related Borrower was charged “points and fees” (whether or not financed) in an amount greater than (a) $1,000 or (b) 5% of the principal amount of such loan, whichever is greater, such 5% limitation is calculated in accordance with Fannie Mae’s anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in the Fannie Mae Guides. For purposes of this representation, “points and fees” (a) include origination, underwriting, broker and finder’s fees and other charges that the lender imposed as a condition of making the loan, whether they are paid to the lender or a third party, and (b) exclude bona fide discount points, fees paid for actual services rendered in connection with the origination of the mortgage (such as attorneys’ fees, notaries fees and fees paid for property appraisals, credit reports, surveys, title examinations and extracts, flood and tax certifications, and home inspections); the cost of mortgage insurance or credit-risk price adjustments; the costs of title, hazard, and flood insurance policies; state and local transfer taxes or fees; escrow deposits for the future payment of taxes and insurance premiums; and other miscellaneous fees and charges that, in total, do not exceed 0.25 percent of the loan amount. All points, 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 Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing to the related Mortgagor in accordance with applicable state and federal laws and regulations.

No Mortgage Loan is subject to any mandatory arbitration.

In addition to the foregoing, in the event that a breach of any representation of the Seller materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser in any Prepayment Charge or the collectability of such Prepayment Charge, the Seller shall pay the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge to the Purchaser upon the payoff of any related Mortgage Loan.

provided, however , that the Seller shall not knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, would cause any REMIC created under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Seller has received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Seller) to the effect that the contemplated action will not cause any REMIC created under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon any such REMIC created thereunder.

“ provided, however , that unless the Seller has obtained the prior written consent of the Master Servicer, the Seller”

; provided, further , no such modification shall be permitted unless the Seller shall have provided to the Master Servicer an Opinion of Counsel in writing to the effect that such modification, waiver or amendment would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement). The costs of obtaining such Opinion of Counsel shall be a reimbursable expense to the Seller to be withdrawn from the Custodial Account pursuant to Subsection 11.05 of the Servicing Addendum. Promptly after the execution of any modification of any Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall deliver to the Master Servicer the originals of any documents evidencing such modification.

The Seller will furnish, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union Credit Information Company, on a monthly basis.

The Seller shall not waive any Prepayment Charge with respect to any Mortgage Loan which contains a Prepayment Charge which prepays during the term of the charge. If the Seller fails to collect the Prepayment Charge upon any prepayment of any Mortgage Loan which contains a Prepayment Charge, the Seller shall pay the Purchaser at such time (by deposit to the Custodial Account) an amount equal to amount of the Prepayment Charge which was not collected. Notwithstanding the above, the Seller may waive (and shall waive, in the case of (v) below) a Prepayment Charge without paying the Purchaser the amount of the Prepayment Charge (i) if the Mortgage Loan is in default (defined as 61 days or more delinquent) and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) if the prepayment is not a result of a refinancing by the Seller or any of its affiliates and the Mortgage Loan is foreseen to be in default and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan, (iii) if the collection of the Prepayment Charge would be in violation of applicable laws, (iv) if the collection of such Prepayment Charge would be considered “predatory” pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having jurisdiction over such matters and (v) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, any instance when a Mortgage Loan is in foreclosure. The Seller hereby acknowledges that for the purposes of the preceding sentence, (i) the law applicable to the enforcement of prepayment penalties and charges is the law applicable to the related originator of the Mortgage Loans and (ii) state laws prohibiting or limiting prepayment penalties or charges are preempted and thereby inapplicable if the related originator of the mortgage loans is a federal association or federal bank or an operating subsidiary of such institution. In the event the Seller determines that (i) the foregoing acknowledgement is no longer accurate and (ii) applicable state law would prevent it from fully enforcing prepayment penalties or charges, the Seller shall (i) provide prompt notice to such effect to the Purchaser and (ii) provide a written opinion of counsel from a nationally recognized law firm experienced in regulatory matters concluding that fully enforcing prepayment penalties or charges would violate applicable law.

“(xi) with respect to each Principal Prepayment, an amount (to be paid by the Seller out of its own funds without reimbursement therefor from the Purchaser, up to the amount of the product of (x) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (y) 0.125% per annum) which, when added to all amounts allocable to interest received in connection with such Principal Prepayment, equals one month’s interest on the amount of principal so prepaid at the Mortgage Interest Rate (net of the related Servicing Fee Rate).”

“Funds on deposit in the Custodial Account shall either (i) remain uninvested or (ii) be invested in Permitted Investments, which Permitted Investments shall mature or be subject to redemption or withdrawal on or prior to the next occurring Remittance Date. If such funds are deposited in Permitted Investments, any and all investment earnings from any such Permitted Investments shall be for the benefit of the Seller and the risk of loss of moneys required to be remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Distribution Account resulting from such investments shall be borne by and be the risk of the Seller.”

(ix) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances to the extent that such amounts are nonrecoverable by the Servicer pursuant to subclause (ii) above;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a REMIC election is made with respect to the arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and the REO Property are held, such REO Property shall be disposed of before the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, unless the Seller provides to the trustee under such REMIC an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the transaction to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that certificates are outstanding. Seller shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each such REO Property for the certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(E) of the Code, or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC provisions of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such property, the Seller shall either itself or through an agent selected by Seller, protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such an extent as is customary in the locality where such property is located. Additionally, Seller shall perform the tax withholding and reporting related to Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code.

Subsection 11.31 (Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreement by Successor Servicer).

The Seller shall, upon the reasonable request of the Purchaser, but at its own expense, deliver to the assuming party documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.

Any successor to the Servicer shall be a Freddie Mac- or Fannie Mae-approved servicer and shall be subject to the approval of each Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each such Rating Agency delivered to the Master Servicer that the transfer of servicing will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Certificates.

; provided, however , that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer under this Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 16, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with any transfer of servicing hereunder (as a result of termination for cause under Section 14.01 or resignation of the Servicer), including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer or any other Person in appointing a successor servicer, or of the Master Servicer in assuming the responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder, or of transferring the Servicing Files and the other necessary data, including the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data, to the successor servicer shall be paid by the terminated or resigning Servicer from its own funds without reimbursement.

Neither the Purchaser nor any Depositor shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Seller pursuant to this Subsection (b)(ii) if a failure of the Seller to identify a Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable solely to the role or functions of such Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other than the Mortgage Loans.

(iii)   The Seller shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser (or any designee of the Purchaser, such as a master servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Purchaser (or such designee) or such Depositor, as such are incurred, in connection with the termination under this Section 32 of the Seller as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer.
