related assets subject to this Agreement (but exclusive of the Yield Maintenance

Penalties, the Servicer Prepayment Penalty Payment Amounts and the Originator

Prepayment Penalty Payment Amounts) as a real estate investment conduit (a

            As provided herein, the Trustee shall make an election to treat the

segregated pool of assets consisting of the Class CE Uncertificated Interest as

a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will

of the Class CE Certificates to make payments with respect to Cap Carryover

Amounts) represent the sole class of regular interests and the Class R-X

Certificate represents the sole class of "residual interests" in REMIC A for

purposes of the REMIC Provisions. Solely for REMIC purposes, the Class CE

Certificates shall have a principal balance equal to the Class CE Uncertificated

Interest and shall bear interest at the same rate as the Class CE Uncertificated

            (c) If any assignment of a Mortgage to the Trustee is in the process

of being recorded on the Closing Date, the Depositor shall use its best efforts

to cause each such original recorded document or certified copy thereof to be

delivered to the Custodian promptly following its recordation, but in no event

later than one (1) year following the Closing Date. If any Mortgage has been

recorded in the name of MERS or its designee, no assignment of Mortgage in favor

of the Trustee will be required to be prepared or delivered and instead, the

Master Servicer shall take all actions as are necessary to cause the Trust Fund

to be shown as the owner of the related Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for

the purpose of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of

mortgages maintained by MERS. The Depositor shall also cause to be delivered to

the Custodian any other original mortgage loan document included in the Owner

Mortgage File (and, if applicable, the Retained Mortgage File) if a copy thereof

has been delivered. The Depositor shall pay from its own funds, without any

right of reimbursement therefor, the amount of any costs, liabilities and

expenses incurred by the Trust by reason of the failure of the Depositor to

cause to be delivered to the Custodian within one (1) year following the Closing

Date any assignment of a Mortgage (except with respect to any Mortgage recorded

in the name of MERS) not delivered to the Custodian on the Closing Date.

 

            In lieu of recording an assignment of any Mortgage the Depositor

may, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian the assignment of the

Mortgage Loan to the Trustee in a form suitable for recordation, if (i) with

respect to a particular state the Trustee and the Custodian have received an

Opinion of Counsel acceptable to it that such recording is not required to make

the assignment effective against the parties to the Mortgage or subsequent

purchasers or encumbrancers of the Mortgaged Property or (ii) the Depositor has

been advised by each Rating Agency that non recordation in a state will not

result in a reduction of the rating assigned by that Rating Agency at the time

of initial issuance of the Certificates. Set forth on Exhibit Q attached hereto

is a list of all states where recordation is required by either Rating Agency to

obtain the initial ratings of the Certificates. The Custodian may rely and shall

be protected in relying upon the information contained in such Exhibit Q. In the

event that the Custodian receives notice that recording is required to protect

the right, title and interest of the Trustee in and to any such Mortgage Loan

for which recordation of an assignment has not previously been required, the

Custodian shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Custodian shall within five

Business Days (or such other reasonable period of time mutually agreed upon by

the Custodian and the Trustee) of its receipt of such notice deliver each

previously unrecorded assignment to the related Servicer for recordation.

 

            (d) Except for Mortgage Notes endorsed in blank, endorsements shall

                             [Signature of Officer]

any Mortgage registered in the name of MERS, assignments of any Mortgage shall

comply with the following:

 

                     HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS

                                     TRUSTEE

                         and its successors and assigns

 

            Section 2.02 Acceptance by Custodian.

 

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

of, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the review

described below and any exceptions noted on the exception report described in

the next paragraph below, the documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and

all other assets included in the definition of "Trust Fund" and declares that it

holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it

constituting the Owner Mortgage File (and in the case of a Document Transfer

Event, the Retained Mortgage File), and that it holds or will hold all such

assets and such other assets included in the definition of "Trust Fund" in trust

for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

 

            The Custodian, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall

execute and deliver to the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee

and the Depositor on or prior to the Closing Date an initial certification in

the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1 hereto, to the effect that, except as

may be specified in a list of exceptions attached thereto, it has received the

original Mortgage Notes (described in Section 2.01(a)(i)) relating to each

Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedules (other than any Mortgage

Loan that has been paid in full, liquidated or otherwise released as of the date

of such certification, and subject to any exceptions specifically identified in

the exception report annexed to such certification).

 

            The Custodian will review each Owner Mortgage File within 45 days

after execution of this Agreement. The Custodian will deliver no later than 30

days after completion of such review to the Seller and the Trustee a final

certification in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto to the effect that, except as

may be specified in a list of exceptions attached thereto, all required

documents set forth in Section 2.01(a) have been executed and received and

appear regular on their face, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage

Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule based on a comparison of the

Mortgage Loan identifying number, Mortgagor name and street address, and in so

doing the Custodian may rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of

any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon.

 

            If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or

preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the

Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File

to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of its

review the Custodian shall so notify the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities

Administrator and the Servicer.

 

            The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and

transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans and the

Related Documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any liens and

encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee and that such property not be

part of the Depositor's estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any

insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be,

or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor

shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee, on behalf

of the Trust, a first priority perfected security interest in all of the

Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and the

under applicable law.

 

            The Securities Administrator is hereby directed to execute and

deliver, on behalf of the Trust, the Yield Maintenance Agreement.

 

            Section 2.03 Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the

Depositor.

 

            (a) Upon discovery or receipt of written notice of any materially

defective document in, or that a document is missing from, an Owner Mortgage

File (or, if applicable, a Retained Mortgage File) or of a breach of a

representation of warranty of the Depositor in Section 2.04 hereof, in respect

of any Mortgage Loan and, except for a breach of the representations and

warranties set forth in clause (ee) of Section 2.04, such breach materially

adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan, Prepayment Penalty or the

interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee (or the Custodian) shall

promptly notify the Depositor and the Servicer of such defect, missing document

or breach and request that the Depositor cure such defect or breach or deliver

such missing document within 60 days from the date the Depositor was notified of

such missing document, breach or defect. If the Depositor does not deliver such

missing document or cure such defect or cure such breach in all material

respects during such period, the Depositor shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan

from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date

following the expiration of such period (subject to Section 2.03(d)) and the

last paragraph of this Section 2.03(a). The Purchase Price for the repurchased

Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Custodian,

upon receipt of written notice from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release

to the Depositor the related Owner Mortgage File (and, if applicable, Retained

Mortgage File). The Trustee shall execute and deliver such instrument of

transfer or assignment (or, in the case of a Mortgage Loan registered in the

name of MERS or its designee, the Servicer shall reflect such assignment on the

records of MERS), in each case without recourse, and deliver such instruments of

transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Depositor shall

furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Depositor any Mortgage

Loan released pursuant hereto and the Custodian and the Trustee shall have no

further responsibility with regard to such Owner Mortgage File (and, if

applicable, Retained Mortgage File). In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage

Loan as provided above, the Depositor may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed

from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Defective Mortgage Loan)

and substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and

subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d).

 

            It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties

set forth in Section 2.04 hereof shall survive delivery of the Owner Mortgage

Files (and, if applicable, Retained Mortgage Files) to the Custodian and shall

inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders notwithstanding any restrictive

or qualified endorsement or assignment. It is understood and agreed that the

obligations of the Depositor set forth in this Section 2.03(a) to cure,

substitute for or repurchase a Mortgage Loan and to pay the Reimbursement Amount

constitute the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders and to the

Trustee on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and

warranties in Section 2.04 hereof.

 

            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.03, with

respect to any breach by the Depositor of the representation and warranty set

forth in Section 2.04(z), which breach materially and adversely affects the

value of any Prepayment Penalty or the interest of the Trust therein, the

Depositor shall not be required to repurchase such Mortgage Loans as set forth

in this Section 2.03(a). However, the Originator shall remedy such breach as

follows: Upon any Principal Prepayment with respect to the affected Mortgage

Loan, the Originator shall pay to the Trust the excess, if any, of (x) the

amount of such Prepayment Penalty calculated as set forth in the matrices

attached hereto as Exhibit R over (y) the amount collected from the Mortgagor in

respect of such Prepayment Penalty. Such amount payable by the Originator shall

be paid by the Servicer Remittance Date in the month following the month in

which the related Principal Prepayment occurred.

 

            (b) In addition to the foregoing, in the case of a breach of the

Depositor's representation set forth in Section 2.04(i) and (dd) hereof, the

Depositor shall pay to the Trust the Reimbursement Amount. The Reimbursement

Amount shall be delivered to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection

Account within 10 days from the date the Depositor was notified by the Trustee

of the amount of such costs and damages.

 

            (c) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or

receipt of notice by the Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty

or covenant of the Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and

adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan,

the Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.

 

            (d) Any substitution of Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for

Defective Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior

to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to

any Defective Mortgage Loan for which the Depositor substitutes an Eligible

Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the

Depositor delivering to the Custodian, on the Trustee's behalf for such Eligible

Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the documents required by Section 2.01,

together with an Officers' Certificate providing that each such Eligible

Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the

Substitution Adjustment Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with

such substitution. The Custodian shall acknowledge receipt for such Eligible

Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, the

Custodian shall review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver

to the Servicer and the Trustee, with respect to such Eligible Substitute

Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached

hereto as Exhibit F-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one

year of the date of substitution, the Custodian shall deliver to the Servicer

and the Trustee a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto

with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any

applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to

Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of

the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Depositor. For the month of

substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the collections

and recoveries in respect of such Defective Mortgage Loan in the Collection

Period or Prepayment Period, as applicable, preceding the date of substitution

and the Depositor shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts

subsequently received in respect of such Defective Mortgage Loan. The Depositor

shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that

such substitution has taken place, shall amend the applicable Mortgage Loan

Schedule to reflect the removal of such Defective Mortgage Loan from the terms

of this Agreement and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan

or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the

Trustee. Upon such substitution, such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans

shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects

to the terms of this Agreement, including all applicable representations and

warranties as of the date of substitution.

 

            For any month in which the Depositor substitutes one or more

Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Defective Mortgage Loans,

including any substitution pursuant to Section 2.08, the Servicer will determine

the amount (the "Substitution Adjustment Amount"), if any, by which the

aggregate Purchase Price of all such Defective Mortgage Loans (or Mortgage Loan,

in the case of a substitution pursuant to Section 2.08) exceeds the aggregate,

as to each such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, of the principal balance

thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month's interest on

such principal balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Interest Rate. On the date

of such substitution, the Depositor will deliver or cause to be delivered to the

Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the

Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the

related Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and notice by the Servicer of

such deposit, shall release to the Depositor the related Owner Mortgage File

(and, if applicable, Retained Mortgage File) and shall execute and deliver such

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

Depositor shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any

Defective Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

 

            In addition, the Depositor shall obtain at its own expense and

deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such

substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund,

including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited

transactions" under Section 860F(a)(l) of the Code or on "contributions after

the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(l) of the Code, or (b) any REMIC created

hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is

outstanding. If such Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such

substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of

Counsel can be given.

 

            (e) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the

Securities Administrator, the Custodian 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 within two

Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection

therewith, the Depositor shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set

forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage

Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 60 days of the earlier of discovery

or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. In

addition, upon discovery that a Mortgage Loan is defective in a manner that

would cause it to be a "defective obligation" within the meaning of Treasury

Regulations relating to REMICs, the Depositor shall cure the defect or make the

required purchase or substitution no later than 60 days after the discovery of

the defect. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner

as set forth in Section 2.03(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor 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.

 

            Section 2.04 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor with

respect to the Mortgage Loans.

 

            The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the

benefit of the Certificateholders that as of the Closing Date or as of such

other date specifically provided herein:

 

            (a) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedules was

true and correct in all material respects, including, without limitation, the

information regarding any Prepayment Penalty, at the date or dates respecting

which such information was furnished as specified in the Mortgage Loan

Schedules;

 

            (b) Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment contemplated

herein, the Depositor was the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan free

and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any

nature and has full right and authority to sell and assign the same;

 

            (c) All payments required to be made up to the Due Date for such

Mortgage Loan immediately preceding the Closing Date under the terms of the

related Mortgage Note have been made and no Mortgage Loan had more than one

delinquency in the 12 months preceding the applicable Cut-off Date;

 

            (d) The Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage and other agreements

executed in connection therewith are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and

binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its

reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'

rights generally and by general equity principles (regardless of whether such

enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and, to the best

of the Depositor's knowledge, all parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage

and neither the Servicer nor the Depositor has advanced funds, or received any

advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly for

Due Date under the related Mortgage Note;

 

            (f) Neither the Depositor nor any prior holder of the Mortgage or

lien of the Mortgage, or executed any instrument of release, cancellation,

modification or satisfaction, except in each case as is reflected in an

agreement delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian pursuant to Section 2.01;

 

            (g) No Mortgage Note or Mortgage is subject to any right of

rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury,

nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage, or

the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or Mortgage

unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject it to any right of rescission,

set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such

right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with

respect thereto;

 

            (h) The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien

on the property therein described, and the Mortgaged Property is free and clear

of all encumbrances and liens having priority over the first lien of the

Mortgage except for liens for real estate taxes and special assessments not yet

due and payable and liens or interests arising under or as a result of any

federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance relating to hazardous

wastes or hazardous substances, and, if the related Mortgaged Property is a

condominium unit, any lien for common charges permitted by statute or homeowners

association fees; and any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent

document related to, and delivered to the Trustee or to the Custodian with, any

Mortgage establishes in the Depositor a valid and subsisting first lien on the

property described therein and the Depositor has full right to sell and assign

the same to the Trustee;

 

            (i) Each Mortgage Loan at the time it was originated complied in all

material respects with applicable federal, state and local laws including,

            (j) Each Mortgaged Property is located in the United States and

detached home, townhouse, condominium unit, a unit in a planned unit development

or a manufacturing housing unit which constitutes real property for purposes of

the applicable state law;

 

            (k) Except for Mortgage Loans secured by residential long-term

all of the improvements which are included for the purpose of determining the

appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and

building restriction lines of such property and no improvements on adjoining

properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property (unless insured against under

the related title insurance policy); and to the best of the Depositor's

knowledge, the Mortgaged Property and all improvements thereon comply with all

requirements of any applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances;

 

            (l) With respect to each Mortgage where a lost note affidavit has

been delivered to the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf in place of the related

Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage Note is no longer in existence;

 

            (m) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loans have been fully disbursed,

there is no requirement for future advances thereunder and any and all

requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to

disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with (except for

escrow funds for the completion of swimming pools); and all costs, fees and

expenses incurred in making, closing or recording the Mortgage Loan have been

paid, except recording fees with respect to Mortgages not recorded as of the

Closing Date;

 

            (n) The Mortgage Loan (except any Mortgage Loan secured by a

Mortgaged Property located in any jurisdiction, as to which an opinion of

counsel of the type customarily rendered in such jurisdiction in lieu of title

insurance is instead received) is covered by an American Land Title Association

mortgagee title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or

insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, issued by a title insurer

acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac insuring the originator, its successors

and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original

principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and subject only to (A) the lien of

current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (B)

covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other

matters of public record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage acceptable

with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, (C) liens created pursuant to

any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance affording liens for the

costs of clean-up of hazardous substances or hazardous wastes or for other

environmental protection purposes and (D) such other matters to which like

properties are commonly subject which do not individually, or in the aggregate,

materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided

by the Mortgage; the Depositor is the sole insured of such mortgagee title

insurance policy, the assignment to the Trustee of the Depositor's interest in

such mortgagee title insurance policy does not require any consent of or

notification to the insurer which has not been obtained or made, such mortgagee

title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and

effect and inure to the benefit of the Trustee, no claims have been made under

such mortgagee title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related

Mortgage, including the Depositor, has done, by act or omission, anything which

would impair the coverage of such mortgagee title insurance policy;

 

            (o) To the best of the Depositor's knowledge, there is no default,

breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the

related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with

notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a

default, breach, violation or event of acceleration; the Depositor has not

waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration; and no

foreclosure action is currently threatened or has been commenced with respect to

the Mortgage Loan;

 

            (p) The Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all mechanics' and

materialmen's liens or liens in the nature thereof; provided, however, that this

warranty shall be deemed not to have been made at the time of the initial

issuance of the Certificates if a title policy affording, in substance, the same

protection afforded by this warranty is furnished to the Trustee by the

Depositor;

 

            (q) The Mortgage Loan meets, or is exempt from, applicable state or

federal laws, regulations and other requirements, pertaining to usury, and the

Mortgage Loan is not usurious;

 

            (r) To the best of the Depositor's knowledge, all inspections,

licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all

portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of

the same, including, but not limited to, certificates of occupancy and fire

underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate

authorities;

 

            (s) Each Mortgage Note (other than with respect to any Balloon

Loans) is payable in monthly payments, resulting in complete amortization of the

Mortgage Loan over a term of not more than 360 months;

 

            (t) Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such

as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the

realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security,

including realization by judicial foreclosure (subject to any limitation arising

from any bankruptcy, insolvency or other law for the relief of debtors), and

there is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would

interfere with such right of foreclosure;

 

            (u) The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by water, fire, earthquake,

earth movement other than earthquake, windstorm, flood, tornado or similar

casualty (excluding casualty from the presence of hazardous wastes or hazardous

substances, as to which the Depositor makes no representations), so as to affect

adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan

or the use for which the premises were intended and to the best of the

Depositor's knowledge, there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the

total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property;

 

             (v) The Mortgaged Property securing each Mortgage Loan is insured by

an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac against loss by fire and such

hazards as are covered under a standard extended coverage endorsement, in an

amount which is not less than the lesser of 100% of the insurable value of the

Mortgaged Property and the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan,

but in no event less than the minimum amount necessary to fully compensate for

any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis; if the Mortgaged Property is a

condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy

for the project; if upon origination of the Mortgage Loan, the improvements on

the Mortgaged Property were in an area identified in the Federal Register by the

Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood

insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the

Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable

insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of

(A) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B) the full

insurable value of the Mortgaged Property and (C) the maximum amount of

insurance which was available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as

amended; and each Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all

such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense;

 

            (w) To the best of the Depositor's knowledge, no Mortgagor is a

debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;

 

            (x) If the Mortgage Loan is secured by a long-term residential

lease, (1) the lessor under the lease holds a fee simple interest in the land;

(2) the terms of such lease expressly permit the mortgaging of the leasehold

estate, the assignment of the lease without the lessor's consent and the

acquisition by the holder of the Mortgage of the rights of the lessee upon

foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or provide the holder of the

Mortgage with substantially similar protections; (3) the terms of such lease do

not (a) allow the termination thereof upon the lessee's default without the

holder of the Mortgage being entitled to receive written notice of, and

opportunity to cure, such default, (b) allow the termination of the lease in the

event of damage or destruction as long as the Mortgage is in existence, (c)

prohibit the holder of the Mortgage from being insured (or receiving proceeds of

insurance) under the hazard insurance policy or policies relating to the

Mortgaged Property or (d) permit any increase in rent other than pre-established

increases set forth in the lease; (4) the original term of such lease is not

less than 15 years; (5) the term of such lease does not terminate earlier than

five years after the maturity date of the Mortgage Note; and (6) the Mortgaged

Property is located in a jurisdiction in which the use of leasehold estates in

transferring ownership in residential properties is a widely accepted practice;

 

             (y) None of the Mortgage Loans are classified as "high cost"

Mortgage Loans under Section 32 of the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act

of 1994 as amended or any comparable state law;

 

            (z) With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a Prepayment

Penalty, each such Prepayment Penalty shall be enforceable, and each Prepayment

Penalty shall be permitted pursuant to federal, state and local law. Each such

Prepayment Penalty is in an amount less than or equal to the maximum amount

permitted under applicable law. Each such Prepayment Penalty actually charged to

the related borrower is in accordance with the Prepayment Penalty matrices set

forth in Exhibit R;

 

            (aa) Each Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning

of Section 860G of the Code and Treas. Reg. ss.1.860G-2;

 

            (bb) No Mortgage Loan is a "high cost" loan as defined under any

federal, state or local law applicable to such Mortgage Loan at the time of its

origination;

 

            (cc) No Mortgage Loan is serviced by the Trustee or an affiliate of

the Trustee;

 

            (dd) No Mortgage Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan that is a New

Jersey covered purchase loan) is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable

(as such terms are defined in S&P's LEVELS(R) Glossary Version 5.6b, Appendix

E), no Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 through March 6,

2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act and no Mortgage Loan originated

on or after March 7, 2003 is a "high cost home loan" as defined under the

Georgia Fair Lending Act; and

 

            (ee) In addition to the foregoing representations and warranties

made in subparagraphs (a) through (dd) above, the Depositor further represents

and warrants upon delivery of the Group I Mortgage Loans, as to each, that:

 

            (i) No mortgage loan is covered by the Home Ownership and Equity

      Protection Act of 1994;

 

            (ii) With respect to each Group I Mortgage Loan, none of the

      proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to finance single-premium credit

      life insurance policies;

 

            (iii) With respect to each Group I Mortgage Loan, the Servicer has

      furnished accurate and complete information on the related borrower credit

      files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company, in

      accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing

      regulations;

 

            (iv) The unpaid principal balance of each Group I Mortgage Loan does

      not exceed the applicable maximum original loan amount limitations with

      respect to first lien one- to four-family residential mortgage loans as

      set forth in the Freddie Mac Selling Guide;

 

            (v) With respect to each Group I Mortgage Loan that has a Prepayment

      Penalty, no such Prepayment Penalty may be imposed for a term in excess of

      five (5) years with respect to Mortgage Loans originated prior to October

      1, 2002 and three (3) years with respect to Mortgage Loans originated on

      or after October 1, 2002;

 

            (vi) No Group I Mortgage Loan is a "high-cost," "high-cost home,"

      "covered" (excluding home loans defined as "covered home loans" pursuant

      to clause (1) of the definition of that term in the New Jersey Home

       Ownership Security Act of 2002), "high-risk home" or "predatory" loan

      under any applicable federal, state or local predatory or abusive lending

      law; and

 

            (vii) With respect to any Group I Mortgage Loan originated on or

      after August 1, 2004, neither the related Mortgage nor the related

      Mortgage Note requires the borrower to submit to arbitration to resolve

      any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the mortgage loan

      transaction.

 

            Notwithstanding the foregoing, no representations or warranties are

made by the Depositor as to the environmental condition of any Mortgaged

Property; the absence, presence or effect of hazardous wastes or hazardous

substances on any Mortgaged Property; any casualty resulting from the presence

or effect of hazardous wastes or hazardous substances on, near or emanating from

any Mortgaged Property; the impact on Certificateholders of any environmental

condition or presence of any hazardous substance on or near any Mortgaged

Property; or the compliance of any Mortgaged Property with any environmental

laws, nor is any agent, person or entity otherwise affiliated with the Depositor

authorized or able to make any such representation, warranty or assumption of

liability relative to any Mortgaged Property. In addition, no representations or

warranties are made by the Depositor with respect to the absence or effect of

fraud in the origination of any Mortgage Loan.

 

            It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties

set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the respective Owner

Mortgage Files (and, if applicable, Retained Mortgage Files) to the Custodian

and shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee notwithstanding any restrictive or

qualified endorsement or assignment.

 

            Section 2.05 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the

Servicer.

 

            The Servicer hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the

Trustee, for the benefit of each of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and

to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator that as of the Closing Date or

as of such date specifically provided herein:

 

            (i) The Servicer is a national banking association duly chartered

      and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the United States

      and has all licenses necessary to carry on its business as now being

      conducted, except for such licenses, certificates and permits the absence

      of which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material

      adverse effect on the ability of the Servicer to conduct its business as

      it is presently conducted, and is licensed, qualified and in good standing

      in the states where the Mortgaged Property is located if the laws of such

      state require licensing or qualification in order to conduct business of

      the type conducted by the Servicer or to ensure the enforceability or

      validity of each Mortgage Loan; the Servicer has the power and authority

      to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform in accordance

      herewith; the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement

      (including all instruments of transfer to be delivered pursuant to this

      Agreement) by the Servicer and the consummation of the transactions

      contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized; and all

      requisite corporate action has been taken by the Servicer to make this

      Agreement valid and binding upon the Servicer in accordance with its

       terms;

 

            (ii) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this

      Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Servicer and will

      not result in the breach of any term or provision of the articles of

      incorporation or by-laws of the Servicer or result in the breach of any

      term or provision of, or conflict with or constitute a default under or

      result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement,

      indenture or loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which the

      Servicer or its property is subject, or result in the violation of any

      law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Servicer or

      its property is subject;

 

            (iii) The Servicer is an approved seller/servicer of conventional

      residential mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, with the

      facilities, procedures, and experienced personnel necessary for the sound
