In the

a MERS
Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver
(a) the original recorded Mortgage or

original Mortgage or such interim
assignment, as the
case may be, with evidence
of recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from
the public
recording
office, or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the
relevant recording
office, but in no event shall any such
delivery of the
original Mortgage and
each such interim assignment or a copy
thereof, certified,
if appropriate,
by
the relevant recording office, be made
later than one year following the Closing
Date; provided, however, in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver or
cause to be delivered by such date each Mortgage and each such interim
assignment by reason of the fact that any
such documents have
not been returned
by the appropriate recording office, or, in the case of each such interim
assignment, because the related Mortgage has not been returned by the
appropriate recording office, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be
delivered such documents to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf as
promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days
following the Closing Date. The Depositor

In the event that the

related Mortgage
Loan and the public recording office requires the presentation of a "lost
instruments affidavit and indemnity" or any
equivalent document,
because only a
copy of the Mortgage can be delivered
with the instrument of satisfaction or
reconveyance, the Master Servicer shall execute and deliver or cause to be
executed and delivered such a document to
the public recording
office. In the
case where a public recording office
retains the original
recorded Mortgage
or
in the case where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording
office, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be

thereto) upon receipt thereof from the
applicable title insurer, but in no event

cause to be delivered such documents to the Trustee or the Custodian on its
behalf as promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event,
within
720 days following the Closing Date; provided further, however, that the
