          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 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 Trustee. Upon such substitution by the Seller,

such Replacement Mortgage Loan or Replacement Mortgage Loans shall constitute

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

this Agreement and the Sale Agreement, including all applicable representations

and warranties thereof included in the Sale Agreement as of the date of

substitution.

 

         In addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to

the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that

such substitution will not (a) cause any federal 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

(b) adversely affect the status of any REMIC provided for herein as a REMIC. If

any 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.

 

         (d) It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties

and indemnification (i) set forth in this Section 2.03 and (ii) of the Seller

and the Depositor set forth in the Sale Agreement and assigned to the Trustee by

the Depositor hereunder shall each survive delivery of the Mortgage Files and

the Assignment of Mortgage of each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee and shall

continue throughout the term of this Agreement.

         material breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a material

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

         to which the Servicer is a party or by which it may be bound, or (C)

         ability to perform or meet any of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

                  (iv) The Servicer is an approved servicer of mortgage loans

         for Fannie Mae and is an approved servicer of mortgage loans for

         Freddie Mac.

 

                  (v) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Servicer's

         Agreement or the ability of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans

         or to perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement in

         accordance with the terms hereof.

 

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

         borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit

         Information Company on a monthly basis.

 

         SECTION 2.05.     Substitutions and Repurchases of Mortgage Loans Which

Are Not "Qualified Mortgages".

Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of

section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall promptly

(and in any event within 5 Business Days of discovery) give written notice

thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Depositor shall, at

the Depositor's option, either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section

2.03(c) with respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Replacement Mortgage Loan

for the affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan

for a breach of representation or warranty contained in Section 2.03. 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,

 

 

                                       56
