In the
event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan that is not
a MERS
Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original
recorded Mortgage or
(b) all interim recorded assignments satisfying the requirements of
clause (ii)
or (iii) above,
respectively,
concurrently
with the execution and delivery
hereof because
such document or documents have not been returned from the
applicable public
recording office, the Depositor shall promptly
deliver or
cause to be delivered
to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf 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; 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 shall forward or cause to
be forwarded
to the Trustee or the
Custodian on its behalf (a) from time to time additional
original documents
evidencing an
assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan
and (b) any other
documents required to

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
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 delivered to the Trustee or
the Custodian
on its behalf a copy
of such Mortgage
certified by such
public
recording office
to be a true
and complete copy of the original recorded
Mortgage.
In
addition, in the event
that in connection
with any Mortgage Loan
the
Depositor cannot
deliver or cause to be
delivered the original or duplicate
original lender's
title policy (together with all riders thereto), satisfying
the requirements
of clause (v) above, concurrently with the execution and
delivery hereof
because the related
Mortgage has not been
returned from the
applicable public
recording office, the Depositor shall promptly
deliver or
cause to be delivered
to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf such
original or duplicate
original lender's
title policy (together with all riders
thereto) upon receipt thereof from the applicable title insurer,
but in no event
shall any such
delivery of the original or duplicate original lender's title
policy 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 the original or duplicate original lender's title policy
(together with all
riders thereto)
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. Notwithstanding the preceding, in
connection with any
Mortgage Loan for which either the original or
duplicate
original title policy has not been delivered to the Trust, if at
any time during
the term of this Agreement the parent company of the Seller does
not have a long
term senior debt rating of A- or higher from S&P and A- or
higher from Fitch (if
rated by Fitch), then
the Depositor shall within 30 days deliver or cause to be
delivered to
the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf (if it has not
previously done so) a written commitment or interim binder or
preliminary report
of the title issued by the title insurance or escrow company with
respect to the
Mortgaged Property.

(ii) cause such assignment to be in proper form for recording in
the appropriate
public office for real
property records and (iii) cause to be
delivered for
recording in the
appropriate
public office for real property records the
assignments of the

assignments of
Mortgage as to which the Master Servicer has not received the
information required
to prepare such assignment in recordable form, the Master
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 thirty (30) days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Master Servicer
need not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates
to a Mortgage Loan in any state other than the Required Recordation
States.

Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the
Closing Date, the
Depositor, in lieu of
delivering the above
documents to the

cause to be
substituted a Substitute Mortgage Loan for
the Delay Delivery

repurchase or cause to
be repurchased

2.3 (treating each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan as a Deleted
Mortgage Loan for
purposes of such Section 2.3), provided, however, that if the
Depositor fails to
deliver a Mortgage File for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the
thirty-day period
provided in the prior
sentence, the
Depositor shall use its
best reasonable efforts to effect or cause to be effected a
substitution, rather
than a repurchase of, such Deleted Mortgage Loan and provided
further that the
cure period provided for in Section 2.2 or in Section 2.3 shall not
apply to the
initial delivery of the Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery
Mortgage Loan, but
rather the Depositor
shall have five (5)
Business Days to cure
or cause to be
cured such failure to deliver. At the end of such thirty-day
period, the Trustee
or the Custodian, on
its behalf shall send a Delay Delivery Certification for
the Delay Delivery
Mortgage Loans delivered during such thirty-day period in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in
this Agreement,
none of the Mortgage
Loans in the Trust
Fund is or will be Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans.

SECTION 2.2 Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.
The
Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, acknowledges
receipt of the
documents identified
in the Initial
Certification in the
form
annexed hereto as Exhibit E and declares that it or the Custodian
holds and will
hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it or the
Custodian, as
applicable,
constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it or the Custodian,
as
applicable, 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 Trustee
acknowledges that the
Custodian will maintain
possession of the
Mortgage Notes in the State of Texas, unless otherwise
permitted by the Rating Agencies.
The
Trustee agrees to
execute and deliver or
to cause the Custodian
to
execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor and the
Master Servicer
an Initial
Certification in the
form annexed hereto as Exhibit E. Based on its
or the Custodian's
review and examination, and only as to the documents
identified in such
Initial Certification, the Custodian, on behalf of the
Trustee, acknowledges
that such documents appear regular on their face and
relate to such Mortgage Loan. Neither the Trustee nor the
Custodian shall be
under any duty or
obligation to
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.
On or
about the thirtieth
(30th) day after the Closing Date, the Trustee
shall deliver or shall
cause the Custodian to
deliver to the Depositor and the
Master Servicer a
Delay Delivery
Certification
in the form annexed
hereto as
Exhibit F,
with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the
Mortgage Loans
in the Trust Fund is or will be Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans.
Not later
than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver
or shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor and the
Master Servicer
a Final Certification
in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If, in the
course of such review, the Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf
of the Trustee, finds
any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which
does not meet the
requirements of
Section 2.1, the Trustee shall list or shall
cause the Custodian to
list such as an
exception in the Final
Certification;
provided, however
that neither the Trustee nor the
Custodian shall 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 or
(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.
The Seller shall
promptly correct
or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it
was so
notified of such
defect and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such defect
within such period,
the Seller
shall either (a) substitute for the related
Mortgage Loan
a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be
accomplished in the
manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section
2.3, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90
days from the
date the Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the
Purchase Price of
such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall
such substitution
or purchase occur more
than 540 days from the Closing Date, except that if the
substitution or
purchase of a Mortgage
Loan pursuant to this provision is
required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents by the appropriate
recording office,
and there is a dispute
between either the Master Servicer or
the Seller and the Trustee over the location or status of the
recorded document,
then such substitution
or purchase shall occur within 720 days from the Closing
Date. The Trustee shall deliver or shall cause the Custodian to
deliver written
notice to each Rating
Agency within 270 days
from the Closing Date
indicating
each Mortgage Loan (a) which has not been returned by the
appropriate
recording
office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to
location or status of such
Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days
thereafter until the
related Mortgage Loan is returned to the Trustee or the Custodian
on its behalf.
Any such substitution
pursuant to (a) above
or purchase pursuant
to (b) above
shall not be effected
prior to the
delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion
of
Counsel required by Section 2.5 hereof, if any, and any
substitution pursuant to
(a) above shall not be effected prior to the additional
delivery to the
Trustee
of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit L. No
substitution
is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the
Determination
Date for
such month. The
Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by
the Seller in the Certificate 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 and
certification
with respect
thereto in the form of Exhibit M hereto, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian
to release the related Mortgage File to the Seller and shall
execute and deliver
at the Seller's request such instruments of transfer or
assignment prepared
by
the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in
the
Seller, or a designee,
the Trustee's interest in any Mortgage
Loan released
pursuant hereto. If pursuant to the foregoing provisions the Seller
repurchases
a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall either
(i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in
recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller
and shall cause
such Mortgage
to be removed from registration on the MERS(R) System in
accordance with MERS'
rules and regulations
or (ii) cause MERS to designate on
the MERS(R) System the Seller as the beneficial holder of such
Mortgage Loan.
41
<PAGE>
The
Trustee shall retain or shall cause the Custodian to retain
possession
and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein. The Master Servicer shall promptly
deliver to
the Trustee or the
Custodian on its behalf, 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 Master Servicer from time to
time.
It is
understood
and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to
substitute for or to
purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the
requirements of
Section 2.1 above shall constitute the sole remedy
respecting
such defect available
to the Trustee, the
Depositor and any
Certificateholder
against the Seller.
The
mortgage loans permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be
included
in the Trust Fund are limited to (i) the Mortgage Loans (with respect to which
the Seller has made in MLPA I, among other representations and warranties, a
representation and
warranty that no Mortgage Loan is a "high cost loan" as
defined by the specific applicable local, state or federal
predatory and abusive
lending laws, and (ii)
Substitute Mortgage
Loans (which, by
definition as set
forth in this
Agreement and referred
to in MLPA I, are required to conform to,
among other representations and warranties, a representation and
warranty of the
Seller set forth in
MLPA I that no
Substitute Mortgage
Loan is a "high
cost
loan" as defined by the specific applicable local, state or federal predatory
and abusive lending laws). It is therefore understood and agreed by the
parties
hereto that it is not intended that any Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust
Fund that is a
"high-cost loan" as
defined by the specific applicable local,
state or federal predatory and abusive lending laws.

SECTION 2.3
Representations and
Warranties of the Master Servicer;
Covenants
of the Seller.
(a)
The Master
Servicer 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.
(b)
Upon
discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a
representation or
warranty made pursuant to Schedule B to MLPA
I
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. The
Seller hereby
covenants that within 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 Schedule
B
to MLPA I which
materially and
adversely affects the
interests 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 90-day period expires prior to the second
anniversary of the
Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a
"Deleted Mortgage
Loan") from the Trust
Fund and substitute in its
place a Substitute
Mortgage Loan, 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; provided,
however,
that any such
substitution
pursuant to (i) above shall not be
effected prior to the
delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of
Counsel required
by Section 2.5 hereof, if any, and any such
substitution pursuant
to (i) above shall not
be effected prior
to
the additional
delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian on its
behalf of a Request for Release substantially in the form of
Exhibit
M and the Mortgage File for any such Substitute Mortgage Loan. The
Seller 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 the remedies for such breach.
With
respect to the
representations and
warranties
described in this
Section which are made to the best of the Seller's knowledge,
if it
is discovered
by either the
Depositor,
the Seller or the
Trustee
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 Seller'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.
43
<PAGE>
With
respect to any
Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, the
Seller shall
deliver to the Trustee
or the Custodian
on its behalf 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
2.1, with the Mortgage
Note endorsed and the
Mortgage assigned as
required by
Section 2.1. No substitution is permitted to be made in any
calendar month after
the Determination Date
for such month.
Scheduled Payments due
with respect to
Substitute Mortgage
Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the
Trust Fund
and will be retained by the Seller 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 Seller shall be entitled to retain
all
amounts received in
respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Master
Servicer
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
Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans and the
Master Servicer
shall deliver the
amended Mortgage
Loan Schedule to the Trustee.
Upon such substitution, the
Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement in all
respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made
with
respect to
such Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of
substitution, the
representations and warranties made pursuant to Schedule B to
MLPA I with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the
deposit to the
Certificate
Account of the amount required to be deposited
therein in connection
with such substitution as described in the following
paragraph, the Trustee shall release or shall cause the Custodian
to release the
Mortgage File held for
the benefit of the
Certificateholders
relating to such
Deleted Mortgage
Loan to the
Seller and shall execute and deliver at the
Seller's direction
such instruments of
transfer or assignment
prepared by the
Seller, in each case
without recourse,
as shall be necessary
to vest title in
the Seller, or its designee, the Trustee's interest in any Deleted
Mortgage Loan
substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.3.
For any
month in which
the Seller substitutes one or more 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 Substitute
Mortgage Loans as of
the date of substitution is less than the
aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of all such Deleted
Mortgage Loans
(after
application of the scheduled principal portion of the monthly
payments due 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 deposited in
the
Certificate Account by the Seller 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 Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage
Loan, the
Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate
Account pursuant
to Section
3.5 on or before
the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in
the month following
the month during which the Seller
became obligated
hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon
such deposit of the
Purchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel
required by Section
2.5 and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of
Exhibit M hereto, the
Trustee shall
release or shall cause
the Custodian
to
release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders
to such Person,
and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver or shall cause
the
Custodian to execute and deliver at such Person's direction such instruments of
transfer or assignment
prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse,
as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee.
It is understood
and
agreed that
the obligation under this Agreement of the Seller to cure,
repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has
occurred and is
continuing shall
constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting such
breach available to
Certificateholders,
the Depositor or the
Trustee on their
behalf.
44
<PAGE>
After
giving effect to the
sale of the
Certificates by the
Depositor to
the Underwriter, and thereafter, so long as any Certificates remain
outstanding,
the Seller, its affiliates and agents, collectively, shall not beneficially own
Certificates the
aggregate fair value
of which would
represent 90% or more of
the beneficial interests in the Trust Fund.
The
representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.3
shall
survive delivery
of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee or the
Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
SECTION 2.4
Representations and
Warranties of the
Depositor as to
the
Mortgage Loans.
The
Depositor hereby
represents and
warrants to the Trustee 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 pursuant to MLPA II and immediately prior to the conveyance of the
Mortgage
Loans by it to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof,
the Depositor had
good title to the
Mortgage Loans and the
Mortgage Notes were subject to no
offsets, defenses or counterclaims.
It is
understood and agreed
that the
representations and
warranties set
forth in this Section 2.4 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage
Files to the
Trustee. Upon
discovery by the
Depositor or the
Trustee of a breach of any of
the foregoing
representations
and warranties set forth in this Section 2.4
(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 others and to each
Rating Agency.
SECTION 2.5
Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with
Substitutions.
(a)
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, no
substitution pursuant
to Section
2.2 or Section 2.3
shall be made
more than 90 days
after the Closing Date unless the Depositor
delivers
to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be
at the expense of
either the
Trustee or the
Trust Fund,
addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such
substitution will not
(i) result in the
imposition
of the tax on
"prohibited
transactions" on the Trust Fund or contributions after
the Startup Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of
the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any REMIC created hereunder
to
fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificates
are
outstanding.
(b)
Upon discovery
by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or the Trustee
that any Mortgage Loan
does not constitute a
"qualified
mortgage"
within the
meaning of Section
860G(a)(3)
of the Code,
the party
discovering such fact
shall promptly (and in
any event within five
(5) Business Days of discovery) give written notice thereof to the
other parties. In
connection therewith,
the Trustee shall
require
the Depositor
to cause the
Seller, pursuant to MLPA I and at the
Seller's option,
to either (i)
substitute,
if the conditions in
Section 2.3(b)
with respect to substitutions are satisfied, a
Substitute Mortgage
Loan for the affected
Mortgage Loan, or (ii)
repurchase the
affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such
discovery in the
same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a
breach of
representation or
warranty made pursuant to Section 2.3.
The Trustee shall
reconvey or shall cause the Custodian to reconvey
to the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in
the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would
a
Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or
warranty
contained in Section 2.3.

SECTION 2.6 Execution and Delivery of Certificates.
The
Trustee acknowledges
the transfer and
assignment to it of
the Trust
Fund and, concurrently
with such transfer and assignment, has executed 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 and
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 2.7 REMIC Matters.
The
Preliminary
