The Seller from time to time shall provide the Purchaser with certain information constituting a preliminary listing of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased on each Closing Date in accordance with the related Purchase Price and Terms Agreement and this Agreement (each, a “ Preliminary Mortgage Schedule ”).

The Seller shall deliver the related Mortgage Loan Schedule for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased on a particular Closing Date to the Purchaser at least two (2) Business Days prior to the related Closing Date.

The fact that the Purchaser or its designee has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not impair in any way the Purchaser’s (or any of its successor’s) rights to demand repurchase, substitution or other relief as provided in this Agreement. In the event that the Seller fails to deliver the Mortgage File with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall, upon the request of the Purchaser, repurchase such Mortgage Loan as the price and in the manner specified in Subsection 9.03 .

The Seller shall ensure that the contents of each Servicing File, which required to be retained by or delivered to the Interim Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the Interim Servicing Agreement and thus not delivered to the Purchaser, or its designee, are and shall be held in trust by the Interim Servicer for the benefit of the Purchaser as the owner thereof. The Seller agrees that the Interim Servicer’s possession of any portion of each such Mortgage File is at the will of the Purchaser for the sole purpose of facilitating servicing of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement, and such retention and possession by the Interim Servicer shall be in a custodial capacity only. The ownership of each Mortgage Note, each Mortgage and the contents of each Mortgage File is vested in the Purchaser and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or which come into the possession of the Interim Servicer shall immediately vest in the Purchaser and shall be retained and maintained, in trust, by the Interim Servicer at the will of the Purchaser in such custodial capacity only. The Seller shall cause the Servicing File retained by the Interim Servicer pursuant to this Agreement to be appropriately identified in the Seller’s computer system and/or books and records, as appropriate, to clearly reflect the sale of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser. The Seller shall cause the Interim Servicer to release from its custody the contents of any Servicing File retained by it only in accordance with this Agreement or the Interim Servicing Agreement, except when such release is required in connection with a repurchase of any such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Subsection 9.03 or if required under applicable law or court order.

Subsection 6.02   Books and Records .

Record title to each Mortgage and the related Mortgage Note as of the related Closing Date shall be in the name of the Seller, an Affiliate of the Seller, the Purchaser or one or more designees of the Purchaser, as the Purchaser shall select; provided , however , that if a Mortgage has been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee, the Seller is shown as the owner of the related Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ownership of each Mortgage and related Mortgage Note shall be vested solely in the Purchaser or the appropriate designee of the Purchaser, as the case may be. All rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all funds received by the Seller or the Interim Servicer after the related Cut-off Date on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan shall be vested in the Purchaser or one or more designees of the Purchaser; provided , however , that all funds received on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan shall be received and held by the Seller or the Interim Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser or the appropriate designee of the Purchaser, as the case may be, as the owner of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

The Seller shall be or shall cause the Interim Servicer to be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for each Mortgage Loan which shall be marked clearly to reflect the ownership of each Mortgage Loan by the Purchaser.

To the extent that original documents are not required for purposes of realization of Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, documents maintained by the Seller or the Interim Servicer may be in the form of microfilm or microfiche so long as the Seller or the Interim Servicer complies with the requirements of the Fannie Mae Guides.

It is the express intention of the parties that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be, and be construed as, a sale of the related Mortgage Loans by the Seller and not a pledge of such Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. Consequently, the sale of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected as a purchase on the Purchaser’s business records, tax returns and financial statements, and as a sale of assets on the Seller’s business records, tax returns and financial statements.

If the original or copy of any document submitted for recordation to the appropriate public recording office is not delivered to the Purchaser or its designee within 180 days following the related Closing Date, the related Mortgage Loan shall, upon the request of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Seller at the price and in the manner specified in Subsection 9.03 . The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply if the Seller cannot cause the Interim Servicer to deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recordation to the appropriate public recording office within the specified period due to a delay caused by the recording office in the applicable jurisdiction; provided   that (i) the Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such recording receipt is not available, an officer’s certificate of a servicing officer of the Seller, confirming that such document has been accepted for recording, and (ii) such document is delivered within twelve (12) months of the related Closing Date.

The Mortgage Loans have been sold by the Seller to the Purchaser on a servicing released basis. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Interim Servicing Agreement (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, for an interim period, as specified therein), the Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns, conveys and delivers to the Purchaser the Servicing Rights.

The Purchaser shall retain the Interim Servicer as contract servicer of the Mortgage Loans for an interim period pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in the Interim Servicing Agreement (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, for an interim period, as specified therein).

(a)   Mortgage Loans as Described . The information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and in the payment histories provided by the Seller with respect to Mortgage Loans originated more than 12 months prior to the related Closing Date is complete, true and correct;

(b)   Payments Current . All payments required to be made up to the related Closing Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is 30 days or more delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been 30 days or more delinquent at any time since the more recent of the origination date of the Mortgage Loan or the date which is 12 months prior to the related Closing Date;

(c)   No Outstanding Charges . There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an, with respect to Mortgage Loans that provide Escrow Payments, escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item on an annual basis. The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the related Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest;

The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser, and which has been delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing, and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, if any, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, if applicable. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement, approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;

(e)   No Defenses . The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either 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 without limitation the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;

(f)   Hazard Insurance .

If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, each Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration as in effect which policy conforms with the Underwriting Guidelines. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “ master ” or “ blanket ” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller;
