related Due Period, divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of

the Offered Certificates and the Class M-10 Certificates immediately prior to

such Distribution Date and (iii) the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates

on the Mortgage Loans for the related Due Period, weighted on the basis of the

principal balances thereof as of the beginning of the related Due Period (after

giving effect to principal prepayments in the related Prepayment Period) over

(B) the product of (i) 360 divided by the actual number of days in the related

Accrual Period and (ii) any amounts owed to the Swap Counterparty (other than

Defaulted Swap Termination Payments) for the related Distribution Date, divided

by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Offered Certificates and

the Class M-10 Certificates immediately prior to such Distribution Date.

 

      Available Funds Cap Carryover: With respect to a Distribution Date, in the

event that the Pass-Through Rate for a class of Offered Certificates or Class

M-10 Certificates is based upon the Available Funds Cap, the excess of (1) the

amount of interest that such class would have been entitled to receive on such

Distribution Date had the Pass-Through Rate for that class not been calculated

based on the Available Funds Cap, up to but not exceeding the Maximum Rate Cap

over (2) the amount of interest such class was entitled to receive on such

Distribution Date based on the Available Funds Cap together with (A) the unpaid

portion of any such excess from prior Distribution Dates (and interest accrued

thereon at the then applicable Pass-Through Rate for such class, without giving

effect to the Available Funds Cap) and (B) any amount previously distributed

with respect to Available Funds Cap Carryover for such class that is recovered

as a voidable preference by a trustee in bankruptcy.

 

      Balloon Loan: A Mortgage Loan having an original term to stated maturity

      Book-Entry Certificates: Any of the Certificates that shall be registered

in the name of the Depository or its nominee, the ownership of which is

reflected on the books of the Depository or on the books of a Person maintaining

an account with the Depository (directly, as a "Depository Participant", or

indirectly, as an indirect participant in accordance with the rules of the

Depository and as described in

      Certificate: Any one of the certificates of any Class executed by the

Certificate Administrator and authenticated by the Certificate Administrator in

      Certificate Administrator: Wachovia Bank, National Association, a national

      Certificate Administrator Fee: The monthly fee paid to the Certificate

Administrator from interest collected with respect to each Mortgage Loan (as

well as from any liquidation proceeds from a liquidated Mortgage Loan that are

applied to accrued and unpaid interest) generally equal to the product of (a)

one-twelfth of the Certificate Administrator Fee Rate and (b) the Stated

Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan. The Certificate Administrator is also

entitled to investment income earned on amounts on deposit in the Certificate

Account.

 

      Certificate Administrator Fee Rate: 0.005% per annum.

 

      Certificate Owner: With respect to a Book-Entry Certificate, the Person

that is the beneficial owner of such Book-Entry Certificate.

 

       Certificate Principal Balance: As to any class of Offered Certificate, the

Class M-10 Certificates and the Class X Certificates and as of any Distribution

Date, the Initial Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificate less the sum

of (1) all amounts distributed with respect to such Certificate in reduction of

the Certificate Principal Balance thereof on previous Distribution Dates

pursuant to Section 4.04, and (2) any Applied Realized Loss Amounts allocated to

such Certificate on previous Distribution Dates pursuant to Section 4.04(i).

On each Distribution Date, after all distributions of principal on such

Distribution Date, a portion of the Class X Interest Carry Forward Amount in an

amount equal to the excess of the Overcollateralization Amount on such

Distribution Date over the Overcollateralization Amount as of the preceding

Distribution Date (or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, the initial

Overcollateralization Amount (based on the Stated Principal Balance of the

Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date)) will be added to the aggregate

Certificate Principal Balance of the Class X Certificates (on a pro rata basis).

Notwithstanding the foregoing on any Distribution Date relating to a Due Period

in which a Subsequent Recovery has been received by the Servicer, the

Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates then outstanding for

which any Applied Realized Loss Amount has been allocated will be increased, in

order of seniority, by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Unpaid Realized

Loss Amount for such Class of Certificates and (ii) the total of any Subsequent

Recovery distributed on such date to the

 

                                    - 4 -

Certificateholders (reduced by the amount of the increase in the Certificate

      If in connection with any Mortgage Loan that is not a Co-op Loan, the

Depositor cannot deliver the Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage or assumption,

consolidation or modification, as the case may be, with evidence of recording

thereon, if applicable, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this

Agreement solely because of a delay caused by the public recording office where

such Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage or assumption, consolidation or

modification, as the case may be, has been delivered for recordation, the

Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian written notice

stating that such Mortgage or assumption, consolidation or modification, as the

case may be, has been delivered to the appropriate public recording office for

recordation. Thereafter, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to

the Custodian such Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage or assumption,

consolidation or modification, as the case may be, with evidence of recording

indicated thereon, if applicable, upon receipt thereof from the public recording

office. To the extent any required endorsement is not contained on a Mortgage

Note or an Assignment of Mortgage, the Depositor shall make or cause such

endorsement to be made.

 

      With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not a Co-op Loan, none of the

Depositor, the Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be

obligated to cause to be recorded the Assignment of Mortgage referred to in this

Section 2.01. With respect to any Co-op Loan, none of the Depositor, the

Servicer or the Trustee shall be obligated to cause to be filed the Form UCC-3

referred to in this Section 2.01. In the event that any Assignment of Mortgage

referred to in this Section 2.01 is not recorded or is improperly recorded,

none of the Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian shall have any liability for

any failure to receive or act on notices related to such Assignment of Mortgage

 

      The ownership of each Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the contents of

the related Mortgage File is vested in the Trustee on behalf of the

Certificateholders. Neither the Depositor, the Servicer nor the Certificate

Administrator shall take any action inconsistent with such ownership and shall

not claim any ownership interest therein. The Depositor, the Servicer and

Certificate Administrator shall respond to any third party inquiries with

respect to ownership of the Mortgage Loans by stating that such ownership is

held by the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. Mortgage documents

relating to the Mortgage Loans not delivered to the Custodian are and shall be

held in trust by the Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee as the owner

thereof, and the Servicer's possession of the contents of each Mortgage File so

retained is for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan, and

such retention and possession by the Servicer is in a custodial capacity only.

The Depositor agrees to take no action inconsistent with the Trustee's ownership

of the Mortgage Loans, to promptly indicate to all inquiring parties that the

Mortgage Loans have been sold and to claim no ownership interest in the Mortgage

Loans.

 

      It is the intention of this Agreement that the conveyance of the

Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Trust Fund pursuant to this

Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. If a conveyance

of Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Depositor is characterized as a pledge

and not a sale, then the Depositor shall be deemed to have transferred to the

Trustee all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under the

obligations of the Seller deemed to be secured by said pledge; and it is the

intention of this Agreement that the Depositor shall also be deemed to have

granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the

Depositor's right, title, and interest in, to and under the obligations of the

Seller to the Depositor deemed to be secured by said pledge and that the Trustee

(or the Custodian on its behalf) shall be deemed to be an independent custodian

for purposes of perfection of the security interest granted to the Depositor. If

the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans from the Depositor to the Trustee is

characterized as a pledge, it is the intention of this Agreement that this

Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and that

the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee a first priority

security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and

under the Mortgage Loans, all payments of principal of or interest on such

Mortgage Loans, all other rights relating to and payments made in respect of the

Trust Fund, and all proceeds of any thereof. If the trust created by this

Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person in

any

 

                                    - 48 -

 

 

<PAGE>

 

 

Certificates, the security interest created hereby shall continue in full

force and effect and the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) shall be

deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person.

 

      In addition to the conveyance made in the first paragraph of this

Section 2.01, the Depositor does hereby convey, assign and set over to the

Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders its rights and interests under

the Sale Agreement, including the Depositor's right, title and interest in the

representations and warranties contained in the Sale Agreement, the rights in

the Transfer Agreement described therein and the benefit of the repurchase

obligations and the obligation of the Seller contained in the Sale Agreement to

take, at the request of the Depositor or the Trustee, all action on its part

which is reasonably necessary to ensure the enforceability of a Mortgage Loan.

The Trustee hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be entitled to exercise

all rights of the Depositor under the Sale Agreement as if, for such purpose, it

were the Depositor. The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over, deposit

and conveyance does not and is not intended to result in creation or assumption

by the Trustee of any obligation of the Depositor, the Seller, or any other

Person in connection with the Mortgage Loans or any other agreement or

instrument relating thereto except as specifically set forth herein.

 

      SECTION 2.02. Acceptance by the Custodian of the Mortgage Loans.

 

      Except as set forth in the Exception Report delivered contemporaneously

herewith (the "Exception Report"), the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee,

acknowledges receipt of the Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan and delivery of

a Mortgage File (but does not acknowledge receipt of all documents required to

be included in such Mortgage File) with respect to each Mortgage Loan and

declares that it holds and will hold such documents and any other documents

constituting a part of the Mortgage Files delivered to it in trust for the use

and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Depositor will

cause the Seller to repurchase any Mortgage Loan to which a material exception

was taken in the Exception Report unless such exception is cured within 45

Business Days of the Closing Date.

 

      The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, acknowledges receipt of the

Transfer Agreement, the Bring Down Letter and the Sale Agreement. The

Certificate Administrator acknowledges receipt of the Swap Agreement.

 

      The Custodian agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders and the

NIMs Insurer, to review each Mortgage File delivered to it within 60 days after

the Closing Date to ascertain and to certify, within 70 days of the Closing

Date, to the NIMs Insurer, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer that all

documents required by Section 2.01 have been executed and received, and that

such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B that have

been conveyed to it. If the Custodian finds any document or documents

constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective (that is,

mutilated, damaged, defaced or unexecuted) in any material respect, the

Custodian shall promptly (and in any event within no more than five Business

Days) after such finding so notify the NIMs Insurer, the Servicer, the Seller,

the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Depositor. In addition, the

Custodian shall also notify the NIMs Insurer, the Servicer, the Seller, the

Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Depositor if the original

Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon with respect to a Mortgage Loan is

not received within 70 days of the Closing Date; if it has not been received

because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such Mortgage has

been delivered for recordation, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be

delivered to the Custodian written notice stating that such Mortgage has been

delivered to the appropriate public recording office for recordation and

thereafter the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered such Mortgage

with evidence of recording thereon upon receipt thereof from the public

recording office. The Trustee shall request that the Seller correct or cure such

omission, defect or other irregularity, or substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant

to the provisions of Section 2.03, within 90 days from the date the Seller was

notified of such omission or defect and, if the Seller

 

                                    - 49 -

 

 

<PAGE>

 

 

does not correct or cure such omission or defect within such period, that the

Seller purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund within 90 days from the

date the Seller was notified of such omission, defect or other irregularity at

the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage

Loan purchased pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be paid to the Servicer and

deposited by the Servicer in the Certificate Account or Collection Account, as

appropriate, promptly upon receipt, and, upon receipt by the Custodian of

written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the

Custodian, upon receipt of a Request for Release, shall promptly release to the

Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such

instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as shall be requested

by the Seller and necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee, as the case

may be, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and neither the Trustee nor

the Custodian shall have any further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage

Loan. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to purchase,

cure or substitute any Mortgage Loan as to which a material defect in or

omission of a constituent document exists shall constitute the sole remedy

respecting such defect or omission available to the Trustee on behalf of

Certificateholders and the NIMs Insurer. The preceding sentence shall not,

however, limit any remedies available to the Certificateholders, the NIMs

Insurer, the Depositor or the Trustee pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the

Transfer Agreement and the Bring-Down Letter. The Custodian shall be under no

duty or obligation to inspect, review and examine such documents, instruments,

certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable,

recordable or appropriate to the represented purpose, or that they have actually

been recorded, or that they are other than what they purport to be on their

face. The Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian

shall keep confidential the name of each Mortgagor except as required by this

Agreement and the Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the

Custodian shall not solicit any such Mortgagor for the purpose of refinancing

the related Mortgage Loan; notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the

foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all

information that is or becomes publicly known, or information obtained by the

Custodian, Trustee, the Servicer or the Certificate Administrator from sources

other than the other parties hereto, (ii) disclosure of any and all information

(A) if required by any applicable law, rule or regulation, (B) to any government

agency or regulatory body having or claiming authority to regulate or oversee

any aspects of the Custodian's business or that of its affiliates, (C) pursuant

to any subpoena, civil investigation demand or similar demand or request of any

court, regulatory authority, arbitrator or arbitration to which the Custodian or

any affiliate or an officer, director, employer or shareholder thereof is a

party or (D) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee

or attorney of the Trustee, the Custodian, the Servicer or the Certificate

Administrator having a need to know the same, provided that the Trustee, the

Custodian, the Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, advises

such recipient of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed, or

(iii) any other disclosure authorized by the Depositor. It is understood and

agreed that all rights and benefits relating to the solicitation of any

Mortgagors and the attendant rights, title and interest in and to the list of

Mortgagors and data relating to their Mortgages shall be retained by the

Servicer.

 

      Within 70 days of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver to the

NIMs Insurer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Seller, the Certificate

Administrator and the Servicer the Custodian's Certification, substantially in

the form of Exhibit D attached hereto, evidencing the completeness of the

Mortgage Files, with any exceptions noted thereto.

 

      SECTION 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Depositor.

 

         (a)   The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Servicer, the

  Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the NIMs Insurer and the Trustee as

  follows, as of the date hereof:

 

        (i)   The Depositor is duly organized and is validly existing as a

      limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of

      Delaware and has full power and

 

                                    - 50 -

 

 

<PAGE>

 

 

      authority (corporate and other) necessary to own or hold its properties

      and to conduct its business as now conducted by it and to enter into and

      perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Sale Agreement.

 

        (ii) The Depositor has the full corporate power and authority to

      execute, deliver and perform, and to enter into and consummate the

      transactions contemplated by, this Agreement and the Sale Agreement and

      has duly authorized, by all necessary corporate action on its part, the

      execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Sale

      Agreement; and this Agreement and the Sale Agreement, assuming the due

      authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other parties hereto,

      constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor,

      enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with its terms, subject,

      as to enforceability, to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,

      moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally

      and (ii) general principles of equity, regardless of whether enforcement

      is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.

 

        (iii)The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Sale Agreement

      by the Depositor, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by

      this Agreement and the Sale Agreement, and the fulfillment of or

      compliance with the terms hereof are in the ordinary course of business of

      the Depositor and will not (A) result in a material breach of any term or

      provision of the charter or by-laws of the Depositor or (B) materially

      conflict with, result in a violation or acceleration of, or result in a

      material default under, the terms of any other material agreement or

      instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it may be bound

      or (C) constitute a material violation of any statute, order or regulation

      applicable to the Depositor of any court, regulatory body, administrative

      agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Depositor; and

      the Depositor is not in breach or violation of any material indenture or

      other material agreement or instrument, or in violation of any statute,

      order or regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency

      or governmental body having jurisdiction over it which breach or violation

      may materially impair the Depositor's ability to perform or meet any of

      its obligations under this Agreement.

 

        (iv) No litigation is pending, or, to the best of the Depositor's

      knowledge, threatened, against the Depositor that would materially and

      adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this

      Agreement and the Sale Agreement or the ability of the Depositor to

      perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Sale Agreement in

      accordance with the terms hereof.

 

        (v)   No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or

      governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and

      performance by the Depositor of, or compliance by the Depositor with, this

      Agreement and the Sale Agreement or the consummation of the transactions

      contemplated hereby, or if any such consent, approval, authorization or

      order is required, the Depositor has obtained the same. The Depositor

      hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to each

      Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, and following the transfer of the

      Mortgage Loans to it by the Seller, the Depositor had good title to the

      Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets, claims,

      liens, mortgage, pledge, charge, security interest, defenses or

      counterclaims.

 

         (b)   The representations and warranties of the Transferor with respect

  to the Mortgage Loans contained in the Transfer Agreement were made as of the

  date of the Transfer Agreement and brought forward to the Closing Date pursuant

  to the Bring Down Letter. The representations and warranties of the Transferor

  with respect to the Mortgage Loans contained in the Bring Down Letter were made

  as of the Closing Date. The representations and warranties of the Seller

 

                                    - 51 -

 

 

<PAGE>

 

 

  with respect to the Mortgage Loans contained in the Sale Agreement were made as

  of the Closing Date. To the extent that any fact, condition or event with

  respect to a Mortgage Loan constitutes a breach of both (i) a representation or

  warranty of the Transferor under the Transfer Agreement and (ii) a

  representation or warranty of the Seller under the Sale Agreement, the only

  rights or remedies of the Trustee, the NIMs Insurer or of any

  Certificateholder shall be first, the Trustee's right to enforce the

  obligations of the Transferor under any applicable representation or warranty

  made by it and, only if the Transferor is unable or unwilling to fulfill its

  obligations to cure or repurchase such Mortgage Loan, such party may seek to

  enforce any rights it may have against the Seller under the Sale Agreement.

  The Trustee acknowledges that the Seller shall have no obligation or liability

  with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty made by it with

  respect to the Mortgage Loans if the fact, condition or event constituting

  such breach also constitutes a breach of a representation or warranty made by

  the Transferor in the Transfer Agreement, without regard to whether the

  Transferor fulfills its contractual obligations in respect of such

  representation or warranty. The Trustee also acknowledges that the Seller

  shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any breach of a

  representation or warranty made solely by the Transferor with respect to the

  Mortgage Loans, without regard to whether the Transferor fulfills its

  contractual obligations in respect of such representation or warranty. The

  Trustee further acknowledges that the Depositor shall have no obligation or

  liability with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty with

  respect to the Mortgage Loans (except as set forth in Section 2.03(a)(v))

  under any circumstances.

 

      In addition to the representations and warranties of the Transferor in

the Transfer Agreement that were brought forward to the Closing Date pursuant to

the Bring Down Letter, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Transferor made

certain additional covenants regarding such Mortgage Loan, as set forth in the

Transfer Agreement. With respect to any breach of such additional covenants that

materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in such

Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall (1) use reasonable efforts to enforce such

covenant against the Transferor and (2) if the Seller successfully enforces any

obligation of the Transferor to repurchase such Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall

repurchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 2.03. If the

Seller does not successfully enforce the obligation, if any, of the Transferor

to repurchase a Mortgage Loan with respect to any breach of any such additional

covenants, the Seller shall have no obligation or right to repurchase or cure

such Mortgage Loan.

 

         (c)   Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Certificate

  Administrator, the Servicer, the NIMs Insurer or the Trustee of a breach of any

  of such representations and warranties that adversely and materially affects

  the value of the related Mortgage Loan, Prepayment Charges or the interests of

  the Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt

  written notice to the other parties. Within 90 days of the discovery of such

  breach of any representation or warranty, the Transferor or the Seller, as

  applicable, shall either (a) cure such breach in all material respects, (b)

  repurchase such Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in respect thereof from

  the Trustee at the Purchase Price or (c) within the two year period following

  the Closing Date, substitute a Replacement Mortgage Loan for the affected

  Mortgage Loan. In the event of discovery of a breach of any representation and

  warranty of the Transferor or the Seller, the Trustee shall enforce its rights

  under the Transfer Agreement or the Sale Agreement for the benefit of

  Certificateholders and the NIMs Insurer. If a breach of the representations

  and warranties set forth in the Transfer Agreement exists solely due to the

  unenforceability of a Prepayment Charge, the Trustee shall notify the NIMs

  Insurer thereof and not seek to enforce the repurchase remedy provided for

  herein unless directed in writing to do so by the NIMs Insurer. In the event

  of a breach of the representations and warranties with respect to the Mortgage

  Loans set forth in the Transfer Agreement, the Trustee shall, at the request

  of the NIMs Insurer, enforce the right of the Trust Fund and the NIMs Insurer

  to be indemnified for such breach of representation and warranty. In the event

  that such breach relates solely to the unenforceability of a Prepayment

  Charge, amounts received in respect of such indemnity up to the amount of such

 

                                    - 52 -

 

 

<PAGE>

 

 

  Prepayment Charge shall be distributed pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i). As

  provided in the Sale Agreement, if the Transferor substitutes for a Mortgage

  Loan for which there is a breach of any representations and warranties in the

  Transfer Agreement which adversely and materially affects the value of such

  Mortgage Loan and such substitute mortgage loan is not a Replacement Mortgage

  Loan, under the terms of the Sale Agreement, the Seller will, in exchange for

  such substitute Mortgage Loan, (i) provide the applicable Purchase Price for

  the affected Mortgage Loan or (ii) within two years of the Closing Date,

  substitute such affected Mortgage Loan with a Replacement Mortgage Loan. Any

  such substitution shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to

  the Custodian of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit I

  and shall not be effected unless it is within two years of the Startup Day. As

  provided in the Sale Agreement, the Seller indemnifies and holds the Trust

  Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor, the NIMs Insurer, the Certificate

  Administrator, the Custodian, the Servicer and each Certificateholder harmless

  against any and all taxes, claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures,

  reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees

  and expenses that the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor, the NIMs

  Insurer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Servicer and any

  Certificateholder may sustain in connection with any actions of the Seller

  relating to a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan other than in compliance with the

  terms of this Section 2.03 and the Sale Agreement, to the extent that any such

  action causes (i) any federal or state tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund or

  any REMIC provided for herein, including without limitation, any federal tax

  imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or

  on "contributions after the startup day" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code,

  or (ii) any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time

  that any Certificate is outstanding. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the

  Seller is not a member of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is

  registered on the MERS System, the Seller, at its own expense and without any

  right of reimbursement, shall 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 System in accordance with MERS' rules and regulations.

 

      With respect to any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Depositor pursuant

to this Agreement, by the Seller pursuant to the Sale Agreement or by the

Transferor pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the principal portion of the

funds received by the Servicer in respect of such repurchase of a Mortgage Loan

will be considered a Principal Prepayment and shall be deposited by the Servicer

in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 and the Servicer shall notify

the Certificate Administrator of its receipt of the same. The Custodian, upon

written receipt of notice from the Servicer of its receipt of the full amount of

the Purchase Price for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, or upon receipt of the Mortgage

File for a Replacement Mortgage Loan substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan,

shall release or cause to be released and the Trustee shall reassign to the

Depositor, the Seller or the Transferor, as applicable, the related Mortgage

File for the Deleted Mortgage Loan and shall execute and deliver such

instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse,

representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in such party or its

designee or assignee title to any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant

hereto, free and clear of all security interests, liens and other encumbrances

created by this Agreement, which instruments shall be prepared by the Depositor,

the Seller or the Transferor, as applicable, and neither the Custodian nor the

Certificate Administrator shall have any further responsibility with respect to

the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan.

 

      With respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan to be delivered to the

Custodian pursuant to the terms of this Article II in exchange for a Deleted

Mortgage Loan: (i) the Depositor, the Transferor or the Seller, as applicable,

must deliver to the Custodian the Mortgage File for the Replacement Mortgage

Loan containing the documents set forth in Section 2.01 along with a written

certification certifying as to the delivery of such Mortgage File and containing

the granting language set forth in Section 2.01; and (ii) the Depositor will be

deemed to have made, with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loan, each of the

representations and warranties made by it with respect to the related Deleted

Mortgage Loan. The

 

                                    - 53 -

 

 

<PAGE>

 

 

Custodian shall review the Mortgage File with respect to each Replacement

Mortgage Loan and certify to the NIMs Insurer and the Depositor that all

documents required by Section 2.01 have been executed and received.

 

      For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Replacement

Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller will determine

the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such

Replacement Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution and the aggregate

Prepayment Charges with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loans is less than

the aggregate Stated Principal Balance (after application of the principal

portion of the Scheduled Payment due in the month of substitution) and aggregate

Prepayment Charges of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans. An amount equal to the

aggregate of the deficiencies described in the preceding sentence (such amount,

the "Substitution Adjustment Amount") plus an amount equal to any unreimbursed

costs, penalties and/or damages incurred by the Trust Fund in connection with

any violation relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan of any predatory or abusive

lending law shall be remitted by the Seller to the Servicer for deposit into the

Collection Account on the Determination Date for the Distribution Date relating

to the Prepayment Period during which the related Mortgage Loan became required

to be purchased or replaced hereunder.

 

      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right to

substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Article II shall be subject to the

additional limitations that no substitution of a Replacement Mortgage Loan for a

Deleted Mortgage Loan shall be made unless the Trustee, the NIMs Insurer and the

Certificate Administrator shall each have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the

expense of the party seeking to make the substitution) that, under current law,

such substitution will not (A) affect adversely the status of any REMIC

established hereunder as a REMIC, or of the related "regular interests" as

"regular interests" in any such REMIC, or (B) cause any such REMIC to engage in

a "prohibited transaction" or prohibited contribution pursuant to the REMIC

Provisions.

 

      The Servicer shall cause the Mortgage Loan Schedule to be amended in

accordance with the terms of this Agreement based on information provided to the

Servicer.

 

      The Seller shall give or cause to be given written notice to the

Certificateholders and the NIMs Insurer that such substitution has taken place,

shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted

Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the

Replacement Mortgage Loan or Replacement Mortgage Loans and shall deliver a copy

of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the NIMs Insurer, the Servicer and the
