THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of February 1, 2007, among MORTGAGE ASSET SECURITIZATION TRANSACTIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), UBS REAL ESTATE SECURITIES INC., a Delaware corporation, as transferor (the “Transferor”), WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., a national banking association (“Wells Fargo”), as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), as trust administrator (in such capacity, the “Trust Administrator”), as custodian (in such capacity, “Custodian”) and as credit risk manager (the “Credit Risk Manager”) and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”).

W I T N E S S E T H  T H A T

In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee in return for the Certificates.  The Trust Fund is being conveyed to the Trustee to create a trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.  As provided herein, an election shall be made that the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the right to receive Net Rate Carryover amounts to the extent such amounts reflect an interest rate exceeding the REMIC Maximum Rate or the obligation to make any payments to the Supplemental Interest Trust, (ii) the Cap Contract, (iii) the Cap Account, (iv) the Swap Agreement, (v) the Swap Account and (vi) the Supplemental Interest Trust (collectively, the “Excluded Trust Assets”)) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising five real estate mortgage investment conduits under Section 860D of the Code (each a “REMIC” or, in the alternative the “Subsidiary REMIC,” the “Middle REMIC,” the “Master REMIC,” the “Class C REMIC,” and the “Class P REMIC.”).  Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity of such REMIC elections.

Each Certificate, other than the Class R, Class R-X, Class P, and Class C Certificates, represents ownership of a regular interest in the Master REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.  In addition, each Certificate, other than the Class R, Class R-X, Class P and Class C Certificates, represents the right to receive certain payments reflecting an interest rate greater than the REMIC Maximum Rate to the extent provided herein.  The Class R Certificate represents ownership of the sole Class of residual interest in each of the Subsidiary REMIC, the Middle REMIC and the Master REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.  The Class R-X Certificate represents ownership of the sole Class of residual interest in each of the Class C REMIC and the Class P REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.  

The Class C REMIC shall hold as its assets the Class C interest issued by the Master REMIC and such interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Class C REMIC.  The Class P REMIC shall hold as its assets the Class P interest issued by the Master REMIC, and such interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Class P REMIC.  The Master REMIC shall hold as its assets the Class P Reserve Fund and the uncertificated interests in the Middle REMIC, other than the MT1-R interest, and each such interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Middle REMIC.  The Middle REMIC shall hold as its assets the uncertificated interests in the Subsidiary REMIC, other than the LT-R interest, and each such interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Subsidiary REMIC.  The Subsidiary REMIC shall hold as its assets the property of the Trust Fund other than the interests in any REMIC created hereby, and the Excluded Trust Assets.

The startup day with respect to each REMIC created hereby for purposes of the REMIC Provisions is the Closing Date.  In addition, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the latest possible maturity date for each regular interest in each REMIC created hereby is the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

Subsidiary REMIC:

The following table sets forth the designations, principal balances and interest rates for each interest in the Subsidiary REMIC, each of which (other than the LT-R interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Subsidiary REMIC (the “Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests”):

___________________________

(1)

For each Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period), the interest rate for the Class LT1-A Interest shall be the Net WAC.  

 

(2)

For any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period), the interest rate for each of these interests shall be the lesser of (i) 10.328% (the “REMIC Swap Rate”), and (ii) the product of (a) the Net WAC and (b) 2.

 

(3)

For any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period), the interest rate for each of these interests shall be the excess, if any, of (i) the product of (a) the Net WAC and (b) 2 over (ii) the REMIC Swap Rate for such Distribution Date.

 

(4)

This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the excess of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date over the aggregate initial principal balance of each other regular interest in the Subsidiary REMIC.

 

(5)

The Class LT-R interest shall not have a principal amount and shall not bear interest.  The Class LT-R interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in Subsidiary REMIC.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall first pay or charge as an expense of  Subsidiary REMIC all expenses of the Trust Fund for such Distribution Date, other than any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment required to be made from the Trust Fund.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall distribute the aggregate Interest Remittance Amount (net of expenses described in the preceding paragraph and without regard to any payments related to the Swap Agreement) with respect to each of the Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests based on the above-described interest rates.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall distribute the aggregate Principal Remittance Amount with respect to the Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests, first to the Class LT1-A Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero, and then sequentially, to the other Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests in ascending order of their numerical class designation, and, with respect to each pair of classes having the same numerical designation, in equal amounts to each such class, until the principal balance of each such class is reduced to zero.  All losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests in the same manner that principal distributions are allocated.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall distribute an amount equal to the amount then on deposit in the Distribution Account that represents Class P Prepayment Charges in respect of the Mortgage Loans to the Class LT1-F60 Interest.

 

Middle REMIC:

 

The following table sets forth the designations, principal balances and interest rates for each interest in Middle REMIC, each of which (other than the Class MT1-R interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Middle REMIC (the “Middle REMIC Regular Interests”):

 

 

(1)

For each Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period), the interest rate for each of these interests (the “REMIC Maximum Rate”) is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates on the Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests for such Distribution Date, provided, however, that for any Distribution Date on which the MT1-Swap IO Interest is entitled to a portion of the interest accruals on a Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interest having an “F” in its class designation, as described in footnote four below, such weighted average shall be computed by first subjecting the rate on such Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interest to a cap equal to the product of (i) 2, and (ii) LIBOR (as determined pursuant to the Swap Agreement and adjusted for the applicable day count convention) for such Distribution Date (“Swap LIBOR”).

 

(2)

Each of these interests in the Middle REMIC shall have an initial class principal amount equal to one-half of the initial Certificate Principal Balance of its Corresponding Class of Certificates.

 

(3)

This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the excess of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date over the aggregate initial principal balance of each other regular interest in the Middle REMIC (other than any interest only interest).

 

(4)

The Class MT1-Swap IO is an interest only class that does not have a principal balance.  For the applicable Distribution Date listed in the first column in the table below, the Class MT1-Swap IO shall be entitled to interest accrued on each Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interest listed in the second column in the table below at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the interest rate for each such Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interest for such Distribution Date over (ii) the product of (a) 2, and (b) Swap LIBOR for such Distribution Date.

(5)

The Class MT1-R interest shall not have a principal amount and shall not bear interest.  The Class MT1-R interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in the Middle REMIC.

 

On each Distribution Date, the aggregate Interest Remittance Amount shall be distributed with respect to each of the Middle REMIC Regular Interests based on the above-described interest rates, provided, however , that interest that accrues on the MT1-Q Interest shall be deferred to the extent necessary to make the principal distributions described in priority (i) below for such Distribution Date.  Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest rate for the MT1-Q Interest.

On each Distribution Date, the aggregate Principal Remittance Amount (together with an amount equal to the interest deferred on the Class MT1-Q Interest for such Distribution Date) shall be distributed, and Realized Losses shall be allocated, among the Middle REMIC Regular Interests in the following order of priority:

(i)

first, to each Middle REMIC Regular Interest having a Corresponding Class of Certificates until the Class Principal Amount of each such Middle REMIC Regular Interest equals one-half of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Corresponding Class of Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date; and

(ii)

second, to the Class MT1-Q Interest, any remaining amounts.

On each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall distribute the Class P Prepayment Charges collected in respect of the Mortgage Loans during the preceding Prepayment Period to the MT1-Q Interest.

Master REMIC

As provided herein, the Trustee shall elect to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Middle REMIC Regular Interests as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets shall be designated as the “Master REMIC.”  The Master REMIC shall also issue the Class R-III Interest, which shall evidence the sole class of “residual interests” in the Master REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal income tax law.  The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Pass-Through Rate, and the initial aggregate Certificate Principal Balance for the indicated Class of Certificates and the Class C and Class P interests.

_______________

(1)     For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the maximum rate of interest payable on the regular interest evidenced by this Certificate shall not exceed the REMIC Maximum Rate.  For any Distribution Date on which the Pass-Through Rate for a Class of  Certificates is based on the Net Rate Cap, the amount of interest that would have been payable on such Certificates if the REMIC Maximum Rate were substituted for the Net Rate Cap over the amount actually payable thereon shall be treated as having been paid to the owners of the such Class of Certificates and then paid by such owners to the beneficial owners of the Class C Certificates pursuant to and as further described in Section 9.11 hereof.

(2)

For purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury regulations, the Latest Possible Maturity Date has been designated as the “latest possible maturity date” for each Class of Certificates.

(3)

The Pass-Through Rate on any Distribution Date with respect to these Certificates will be a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i) LIBOR for the related Accrual Period plus the related Certificate Margin for that Distribution Date and (ii) the Net Rate Cap.

(4)

The Class C interest will accrue interest at its variable Pass-Through Rate on the Notional Amount of the Class C Certificates outstanding from time to time. For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, Class C interest shall have an initial principal balance of $6,120,459, and the right to receive distributions of such amount represents a regular interest in the Master REMIC.  The Class C interest shall also comprise a notional component, which represents a regular interest in the Master REMIC.  Such component has a notional balance that will at all times equal the aggregate of the Class Principal Amounts of the Middle REMIC Regular Interests, and, for each Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) this notional component shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the weighted average of the interest rates on the Middle REMIC Regular Interests (other than any interest-only regular interest), over (ii) the Adjusted WAC.  The Class C interest shall also be entitled to any distributions on the class MT1-Swap IO Interest in the Middle REMIC.   

(5)

The Class P interest  will not accrue interest.  The Class P interest shall be entitled to Class P Prepayment Charges collected with respect to the Loans.

 

 

Class C REMIC

As provided herein, the Trustee shall elect to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Class C interest in the Master REMIC as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets shall be designated as the “Class C REMIC.”  The Class C REMIC shall also issue the Class R-XC Interest, which shall evidence the sole class of “residual interests” in the Class C REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal income tax law.  The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Pass-Through Rate, and the initial aggregate Certificate Principal Balance for the indicated Class of Certificates.

If in connection with any Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded Mortgage, (b) all interim recorded assignments or (c) the lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying the requirements of clause (b)(i)(B), (C) or (E) above, respectively, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because such document or documents have not been returned from the applicable public recording office in the case of clause (b)(i)(B) or (C) above, or because the title policy has not been delivered to either the Custodian or the Depositor by the applicable title insurer in the case of clause (b)(i)(E) above, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Custodian, in the case of clause (b)(i)(B) or (C) above, such 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, or, in the case of clause (b)(i)(E) above, no later than 120 days following the Closing Date; provided , however , in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver 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 such documents to the Custodian as promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date.  The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Custodian (a) from time to time additional original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other documents required to be delivered by the Depositor to the Custodian.  In the event that the original Mortgage is not delivered and in connection with the payment in full of 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 Custodian 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 Transferor shall deliver to the Custodian a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage.  

If an assignment of Mortgage is to be recorded, the Depositor shall cause the Mortgage to be assigned to “U.S. Bank National Association, in trust for the MASTR Adjustable Rate Mortgages Trust 2007-2 for the benefit of the Holders of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-2” and, subject to Section 2.02, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the related Servicer pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement to (i) cause such assignment to be in proper form for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records and (ii) cause to be delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records the assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, with respect to any assignments of Mortgage as to which the related Servicer has not received the information required to prepare such assignment in recordable form, the related Servicer’s obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording shall be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information and in any event within ninety (90) days after receipt thereof and except that the related Servicer need not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan (a) in any state where, in an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, such recording is not required to protect the Trustee’s interests in the Mortgage Loan against the claim of any subsequent transferee or any successor to or creditor of the Depositor or the Transferor, (b) in any state where recordation is not required by either Rating Agency to obtain the initial ratings on the Certificates set forth in the Prospectus Supplement or (c) with respect to any Mortgage which has been recorded in the name of MERS, or its designee.  As of the date hereof, recordation is not required in any state by either Rating Agency to obtain the initial rating on the Certificates (upon which statement the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian may conclusively rely).

In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, will deposit in the Collection Account the portion of such payment that is required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof.

(c)

The Depositor does hereby establish, pursuant to the further provisions of this Agreement and the laws of the State of New York, an express trust (the “Trust”) to be known, for convenience, as “MASTR Adjustable Rate Mortgages Trust 2007-2” and U.S. Bank National Association is hereby appointed as Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(d)

The Depositor and the Trustee on behalf of the Trust agree and understand that it is not intended that any Loan be included in the Trust Fund that is (i) a “High Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003, (ii) a “High Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004, (iii) a “High Cost Home Mortgage Loan” as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act effective November 7, 2004, (iv) a “high risk home loan” under the Illinois High Risk Home Loan Act, effective as of January 1, 2004, or (v) a “high cost home loan” under the Indiana High Cost Home Loan Law, effective January 1, 2005.  The Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification from the Depositor and the Trust Fund for any loss, liability or expense arising out of, or in connection with, the provisions of the preceding sentence, including, without limitation, all costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of investigating and defending itself against any claim, action or proceeding, pending or threatened, relating to such provisions.

(e)

Each of the Collection Account and Distribution Account shall at all times be an Eligible Account, provided that the Collection Account may be deemed to be a sub-account of the Distribution Account.  If at any time either the Collection Account or the Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Master Servicer or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall immediately establish and maintain a new Collection Account or Distribution Account, as applicable, that is an Eligible Account, and shall immediately transfer all funds on deposit in the former Collection Account or Distribution Account, as applicable, to the new Collection Account or Distribution Account, as applicable.

(f)

The Depositor hereby directs the Trust Administrator to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Cap Contract and the Swap Agreement.  The Transferor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Senior Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates by their acceptance of such Certificates acknowledge and agree that the Trust Administrator shall execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Cap Contract and the Swap Agreement and shall do so solely in its capacity as Trust Administrator, and not in its individual capacity. Every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trust Administrator shall apply to the Trust Administrator’s execution of the Cap Contract and the Swap Agreement, and the performance of its duties and satisfaction of its obligations thereunder.

(g)

The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Assignment Agreements to which it is a party, and to execute any acknowledgement or agreement to such Assignment Agreements, in the forms presented to it by the Depositor, for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates.  The Trustee shall execute, deliver and perform its obligations under such Assignment Agreements and shall do so solely in its capacity as Trustee of the Trust, and not in its individual capacity. Every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall apply to the Trustee’s execution of each of the Assignment Agreements to which it is a party, and of any acknowledgement or agreement of such Assignment Agreements, and the performance of any obligations thereunder.

Section 2.02.  Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.  

The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the Initial Certification issued by it in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G and declares that it holds and will hold such related documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and the Custodian and Trustee together declare that it holds or will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.  The Custodian acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes held by it in the State of Minnesota, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies and the Trustee.

The Custodian agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor and the Trustee an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G.  Based on its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Initial Certification, the  Custodian acknowledges, subject to any applicable exceptions noted on Exhibit G, that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan.  The Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to (i) inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) determine whether the Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in Section 2.01(b)(i)(D) with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a Cooperative Mortgage Loan and Section 2.01(b)(ii)(H) with respect to each Cooperative Mortgage Loan, unless the Mortgage Loan Schedule indicates that such documents are applicable.

Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Transferor a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.  The Custodian shall make available, upon request of any Certificateholder, a copy of any exceptions noted on the Initial Certification or the Final Certification.  The Custodian shall make available, upon request of the Trustee, the identity of the originator for any Mortgage Loan with a material exception.

If, in the course of such review, the Custodian finds any document constituting a part of a related Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, the Custodian shall list such as an exception in the Final Certification; provided , however , that the Custodian shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note, (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates or (iii) the Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in Section 2.01(b)(i)(D) with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a Cooperative Mortgage Loan and Section 2.01(b)(ii)(H) with respect to each Cooperative Mortgage Loan, unless the Mortgage Loan Schedule indicates that such documents are applicable.  

Upon receiving each Final Certification from the Custodian, the Trustee shall notify the Transferor of any document defects listed as exceptions in each such Final Certification.  The Transferor shall promptly correct or cure such document defects, and if the Transferor fails to correct or cure the defect within ninety (90) days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice of any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File that does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Transferor shall repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the Purchase Price.  In each case, such Deleted Mortgage Loan will be removed from the Trust.  Any such purchase of a Deleted Mortgage Loan shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit M.  The Purchase Price for any such Deleted Mortgage Loan shall be paid by the Transferor to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit, the Master Servicer shall instruct the Custodian to release, and the Custodian shall release, the related Mortgage File to the Transferor and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at the Transferor’s written request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Transferor, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in the Transferor, or a designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.  The Transferor shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing such repurchase by the Transferor.

The Custodian shall retain possession and custody of each related Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.  Pursuant to the terms of the related Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause each of the related Servicers to promptly deliver to the Custodian who shall thereupon promptly deposit within each Mortgage File, upon the execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into the possession of the related Servicers from time to time.

It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Transferor hereunder to purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 above or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan shall constitute the sole remedies respecting such defect available to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor and any Certificateholder.

 

Section 2.03.  Remedies for Breaches of Representations and Warranties.  

The Transferor hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule II hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date.  With respect to any representation and warranties set forth on Schedule II hereto which are made to the best of the Transferor’s knowledge if it is discovered by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Transferor, any Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein, notwithstanding the Transferor’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty.

Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Custodian of a breach of a representation or warranty made by the Transferor pursuant to this Section 2.03 that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other parties and the Trustee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) a breach which causes a Mortgage Loan not to constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, or (ii) a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in clauses (xiii), (xiv), (xv) and (xxxv) through (l) of Schedule II , in each case, will be deemed automatically to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan.  Upon receiving notice of a breach, the Trustee shall in turn notify the Transferor of such breach.  The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Transferor in accordance with this Section 2.03 to correct or cure any such breach of a representation or warranty made herein, and if the Transferor fails to correct or cure the defect within such period, and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce the Transferor’s obligations hereunder to (i) purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price or (ii) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan.  In each case, such Deleted Mortgage Loan will be removed from the Trust Fund.

The Transferor hereby covenants that within ninety (90) days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a breach of any representation or warranty made pursuant to this Section 2.03 which materially and adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such ninety (90) day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans into the Trust Fund, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below.  The Transferor shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach by the Transferor.

With respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans, the Transferor shall deliver to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.01.  No substitution is permitted to be made on any day in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month.

With respect to substitutions made by the Transferor, Scheduled Payments due with respect to Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Transferor on the next succeeding Distribution Date.  For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the Transferor shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.  The Custodian shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Custodian shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee.  Upon such substitution, the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Transferor shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03 with respect to such Mortgage Loan.  Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Collection Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph, the Custodian shall release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Transferor and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at the Transferor’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Transferor, without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest title in the Transferor, as applicable, or its designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.

For any month in which the Transferor substitutes one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of the scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments received in the month of substitution).  The amount of such shortage (the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”) plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be remitted by the Transferor to the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall deposit such amounts received from the Transferor into the Collection Account on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.

In the event that the Transferor shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.07 on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the Transferor became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M hereto, the Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to the Transferor, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at the Transferor’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Transferor, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee.  It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of the Transferor to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedies against the Transferor respecting such matters available to Certificateholders, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee on their behalf.

The provisions of this Section 2.03 shall survive the conveyance and assignment of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee and the delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Custodian for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.

Section 2.04.  Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the Mortgage Loans.  

The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof or such other date set forth herein that as of the Closing Date, and following the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to it by the Transferor, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets, liens, defenses or counterclaims.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Custodian.  Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 (referred to herein as a “breach”), which breach materially and adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties hereto and to each Rating Agency.

Section 2.05.  Representation and Warranty of the Depositor as to the Trust.

The Depositor hereby represents and warrants, for the benefit of the Swap Provider, that the Trust is a common law trust duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the state of New York.  

Section 2.06.  Execution and Delivery of Certificates.  

The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and acknowledges the issuance of the Subsidiary and the Middle REMIC Regular Interests, all as described in the Preliminary Statement and the Residual Certificates in exchange therefor.  The Trustee further acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Subsidiary and the Middle REMIC Regular Interests and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, the Trust Administrator, on its behalf, has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire ownership of the Trust Fund.  The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund, the Subsidiary and the Middle REMIC Regular Interests and to exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates and to perform the duties set forth in this Agreement to the best of its ability, to the end that the interests of the Holders of the Certificates may be adequately and effectively protected.

Section 2.07.  REMIC Matters.  

The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations as “regular interests” or “residual interests” and “latest possible maturity date” for federal income tax purposes of all interests created hereby.  The “Startup Day” for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the Closing Date.  Each REMIC shall have the calendar year as its fiscal year and shall use the accrual method of accounting.

Section 2.08.  Covenants of the Master Servicer.  

The Master Servicer hereby covenants to the Depositor and the Trustee as follows:

(i)

subject to Section 3.01, the Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer to perform its obligations under the applicable Servicing Agreement; and

(ii)

no written information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished in writing or written report delivered to the Depositor, any affiliate of the Depositor or the Trustee and prepared by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make such information, certificate, statement or report not misleading at the time provided.
