ARTICLE II
CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS; REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage
Loans.
The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery
hereof,
does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set
over and convey to the Trustee without
recourse all the right, title and interest
of the Depositor in and to the assets
of the Trust Fund. Such assignment includes
all interest and principal received
on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans on
or after the Cut-off Date (other
than Scheduled Payments due on the Mortgage
Loans on or before the Cut-off
Date).
In connection with such assignment, the Depositor does hereby
deliver
to, and deposit with, the Trustee the
following documents or instruments with
respect to each Mortgage Loan so
assigned:
(A) The Original Mortgage Note, together with all riders
thereto,
endorsed, "Pay to the order of JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A., as trustee - SURF
2005-BC3, without recourse" together with
all riders thereto. The Mortgage Note
shall include all intervening endorsements
showing a complete chain of the title
from the originator to the Seller.
(B) Except as provided below and for each Mortgage Loan that is not
a
MERS Loan, the original recorded Mortgage
together with all riders thereto, with
evidence of recording thereon, or, if the
original Mortgage has not yet been
returned from the recording office, a copy
of the original Mortgage together
with all riders thereto certified by the
Seller to be a true copy of the
original of the Mortgage that has been
delivered for recording in the
appropriate recording office of the
jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property
is located and in the case of each MERS
Loan, the original Mortgage together
with all riders thereto, noting the
presence of the MIN of the Loan and either
language indicating that the Mortgage Loan
is a MOM Loan or if the Mortgage Loan
was not a MOM Loan at origination, the
original Mortgage and the assignment
thereof to MERS, with evidence of recording
indicated thereon, or a copy of the
Mortgage certified by the public recording
office in which such Mortgage has
been recorded.
(C) In the
case of each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Loan, the
original Assignment of each Mortgage, to
"JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as trustee
- SURF 2005-BC3."
(D) The
original policy of title insurance (or a preliminary title
report, commitment or binder if
the original title insurance policy has not
been received from the title insurance
company).
(E) Originals of any intervening assignments of the Mortgage,
with
evidence of recording thereon or, if the
original intervening assignment has not
yet been returned from the recording
office, a copy of such assignment certified
to be a true copy of the original of the
assignment which has been sent for
recording in the appropriate jurisdiction
in which the Mortgaged Property is
located.
(F) Originals
of all assumption and modification agreements, if
any.
If in connection with any Mortgage 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
Trustee 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
49
<PAGE>
deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee 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, none of the Depositor, the
Servicer
or the Trustee shall be obligated to cause
to be recorded the Assignment of
Mortgage referred to in this Section 2.01.
In the event that any Assignment of
Mortgage is not recorded or is improperly
recorded, the Servicer shall have no
liability for its 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. Neither the Depositor nor
the Servicer shall take any action
inconsistent with such ownership and shall
not claim any ownership interest therein.
The Depositor and the Servicer 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 Trustee 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
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 Certificates, the security
interest created hereby shall continue in
full force and effect and the Trustee
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 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,
50
<PAGE>
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.
The parties hereto agree and understand that it is not intended
that
any Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust
that is, without limitation, a
"High-Cost Home Loan" as defined by the
Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act
of 1994 or any other applicable
anti-predatory lending laws, including but not
limited to (i) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as
defined in the New Jersey Home
Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003;
(ii) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as
defined in the New Mexico Home Loan
Protection Act effective January 1, 2004;
(iii) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in
the Massachusetts Predatory Home
Loan Practices Act effective November 7,
2004 or (iv) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as
defined by the Indiana High Cost Home Loan
Law effective January 1, 2005.
SECTION 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee
of the Mortgage Loans.
Except as set forth in the Exception Report delivered
contemporaneously
herewith (the "Exception Report"), 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 to
the satisfaction of the Trustee within
45 Business Days of the Closing Date.
The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the three Cap Contracts (forms
of
which are attached hereto as Exhibits O-1,
O-2 and O-3), the Transfer Agreement
and the Sale Agreement.
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, 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 Depositor
and the Servicer that all documents
required by Section 2.01, except those
listed on the exception report attached
thereto, 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 Trustee 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 Trustee shall promptly (and in any
event within no more than five Business
Days) after such finding so notify the
Servicer, the Seller and the Depositor.
In addition, the Trustee shall also notify
the Servicer, the Seller 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 Trustee written notice stating
that such Mortgage has been delivered to
the appropriate public recording
officer 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(c), within
90 days from the date the Seller was
notified of such omission or defect and, if
the Seller 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 Trustee notified the
Seller 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 Collection Account promptly upon
receipt, and, upon receipt by the Trustee
of written notification of such
51
<PAGE>
deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the
Trustee, 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,
representation or warranty, as shall be necessary
to vest in the Seller or its designee, as
the case may be, any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee
shall have no 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.
The preceding sentence shall not,
however, limit any remedies available to
the Certificateholders, the Depositor
or the Trustee pursuant to the Sale
Agreement. The Trustee 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 Trustee shall keep confidential
the name of each Mortgagor and the
Trustee shall not solicit any such
Mortgagor for the purpose of refinancing the
related Mortgage Loan. 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 Trustee shall deliver to
the
Depositor and the Servicer the Trustee'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
and the Trustee as follows, as of the date
hereof
(i) The Depositor is
duly organized and is validly existing as
a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware
and has full power and 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,
52
<PAGE>
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.
(vi) Each Mortgage Loan in Group One has a Stated Principal
Balance as of the Cut-off Date that complies with the loan
limitations of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as in effect on the
Cut-off Date.
(b) To the extent that any fact, condition or event with respect to
a
Mortgage Loan constitutes a breach of a
representation or warranty of the Seller
under the Sale Agreement, the only right or
remedy of the Trustee or of any
Certificateholder shall be the Trustee's
right to enforce the obligations of the
Seller under any applicable representation
or warranty made by it. The Trustee
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.
(c) Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Servicer, or
the
Trustee of a breach of any of
representations and warranties set forth in the
Sale Agreement 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
a breach of any representation or
warranty given to the Trustee by the
Depositor, the Seller and assigned to the
Trustee, the Depositor, or the Seller 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 Seller
or the Depositor, the Trustee shall
enforce its rights under the Sale Agreement
or thereunder for the benefit of
Certificateholders. In the event of a
breach of the representations and
warranties with respect to the Mortgage
Loans set forth in a Sale Agreement, the
Trustee shall enforce the right of the
Trust Fund 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 prepayment charge shall be
distributed pursuant to Section
4.04(b)(i)(B). As provided in the Sale
Agreement, if the Seller substitutes
53
<PAGE>
for a Mortgage Loan for which there is a
breach of any representations and
warranties 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
Trustee 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 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 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.
With respect to any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Depositor
pursuant
to this Agreement or by the Seller pursuant
to the Sale 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 Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 3.05. The
Trustee, upon 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 reassign to the Depositor or
the Seller, 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 Trustee,
and the Trustee shall not 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
Trustee pursuant to the terms of this
Article II in exchange for a Deleted
Mortgage Loan: (i) the Depositor or the
Seller, as applicable, must deliver to
the Trustee 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 the first sentence of
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 Trustee
shall review the Mortgage File with
respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan
and certify to 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") shall
be delivered by the Seller to the
Servicer for deposit into the
Collection
54
<PAGE>
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.
The Seller shall give or cause to be given written notice to
the
Certificateholders that such substitution
