         Section 2.01. CONVEYANCE OF TRUST FUND.

 

         The Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise

conveys to the Depositor, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of

the Seller in and to the assets in the Trust Fund.

 

         The Seller has entered into this Agreement in consideration for the

purchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and has agreed to take the

actions specified herein.

 

         The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,

hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee

for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders, without recourse, all the

right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Trust Fund.

 

         Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the

Depositor does hereby assign to the Trustee all of its rights and interest under

the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and all rights of the Seller and the

Depositor under the M&T Servicing Agreement and the GreenPoint Servicing

Agreement to the extent of the Mortgage Loans sold under the Mortgage Loan

Purchase Agreement. The Trustee hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be

entitled to exercise all rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan

Purchase Agreement as if, for such purpose, it were the Depositor. The foregoing

sale, transfer, assignment, set-over, deposit and conveyance does not and is not

intended to result in creation or assumption by the Trustee of any obligation of

the Depositor, the Seller or any other Person in connection with the Mortgage

Loans, the M&T Servicing Agreement, the GreenPoint Servicing Agreement or any

other agreement or instrument relating thereto except as specifically set forth

herein. Any monetary obligation of the Seller as the purchaser or owner under

the M&T Servicing Agreement to M&T as Servicer and any monetary obligation of

the Seller as the purchaser or owner under the GreenPoint Servicing Agreement to

GreenPoint as Servicer following the Closing Date shall be satisfied by the

Trustee, as assignee of the Seller, only from funds then on deposit in the

Distribution Accounts.

 

         In connection with such sale, the Depositor does hereby deliver to, and

deposit with the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement the documents

with respect to each Mortgage Loan as described under Section 2 of the Custodial

Agreement (the "Mortgage Loan Documents"). In connection with such delivery and

as further described in the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian will be required

to review such Mortgage Loan Documents and deliver to the Trustee, the

Depositor, the Servicers and the Seller certifications (in the forms attached to

the Custodial Agreement) with respect to such review with exceptions noted

thereon. In addition, under the Custodial Agreement the Depositor will be

required to cure certain defects with respect to the Mortgage Loan Documents for

the related Mortgage Loans after the delivery thereof by the Depositor to the

Custodian as more particularly set forth therein.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties

hereto acknowledge that the functions of the Trustee with respect to the

custody, acceptance, inspection and release of the Mortgage Files and

preparation and delivery of the certifications shall be performed by the

Custodian pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Custodial Agreement.

 

         The Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicers

copies of all trailing documents required to be included in the related Mortgage

File at the same time the originals or certified copies thereof are delivered to

the Custodian, such documents including the mortgagee policy of title insurance

and any Mortgage Loan Documents upon return from the recording office. The

Servicers shall not be responsible for any custodian fees or other costs

incurred in obtaining such documents and the Depositor shall cause the Servicers

to be reimbursed for any such costs the Servicers may incur in connection with

performing its obligations under this Agreement, the M&T Servicing Agreement and

the GreenPoint Servicing Agreement.

 

         Section 2.02. ACCEPTANCE OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS.

 

         (a) Based on the initial trust receipt received by it from the

Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Trustee acknowledges receipt,

subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 hereof and Section 2 of the Custodial

Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan Documents and all other assets included in the

definition of "REMIC I" and "REMIC II"under clauses (i), (ii) (iii), (v) and

(vi) (to the extent of amounts deposited into the related Distribution Account)

and declares that it holds (or the Custodian on its behalf holds) and will hold

such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage

Loan Document, and that it holds (or the Custodian on its behalf holds) or will

hold all such assets and such other assets included in the definition of "REMIC

I" and "REMIC II" in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and

future Group I Certificateholders and Group II Certificateholders.

 

         (b) In conducting the review of the Mortgage Files in accordance with

the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf will ascertain

whether all required documents have been executed and received and whether those

documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B to this

Agreement, as supplemented. If the Custodian finds any document constituting

part of the Mortgage File not to have been executed or received, or to be

unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B, the Seller shall

correct or cure any such defect or, if prior to the end of the second

anniversary of the Closing Date, the Seller may substitute for the related

Mortgage Loan a Replacement Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be

accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section

2.03 or shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that

such defect does not materially or adversely affect the interests of the

Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan within 60 days from the date of notice

from the Trustee of the defect and if the Seller fails to correct or cure the

defect or deliver such opinion within such period, the Seller will, subject to

Section 2.03, within 90 days from the notification of the Trustee purchase such

Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price; provided, however, that if such defect

relates solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the Mortgage,

assignment thereof to the Trustee, or intervening assignments thereof with

evidence of recording thereon because such documents have been submitted for

recording and have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Seller

shall not be required to purchase such

delivered to the Seller and the Trustee, a final trust receipt substantially in

the form annexed to the Custodial Agreement. In conducting such review, the

Custodian on the Trustee's behalf and in accordance with the terms of the

Custodial Agreement will ascertain whether each document required to be recorded

has been returned from the recording office with evidence of recording thereon

and the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf has received either an original or a

copy thereof, as required in the Custodial Agreement. If the Custodian finds

that any document with respect to a Mortgage Loan has not been received, or is

unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B or appears to be

defective on its face, the Custodian shall note such defect in the exception

report attached the final trust receipt issued pursuant to the Custodial

Agreement and the Seller shall correct or cure any such defect or, if prior to

the end of the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Seller may substitute

for the related Mortgage Loan a Replacement Mortgage Loan, which substitution

shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in

Section 2.03 or shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect

that such defect does not materially or adversely affect the interests of

Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan within 60 days from the date of notice

from the Trustee of the defect and if the Seller is unable within such period to

correct or cure such defect, or to substitute the related Mortgage Loan with a

Replacement Mortgage Loan or to deliver such opinion, the Seller shall, subject

to Section 2.03, within 90 days from the notification of the Trustee, purchase

such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price; provided, however, that if such defect

relates solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the Mortgage,

assignment thereof to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof with

evidence of recording thereon, because such documents have not been returned by

the applicable jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to purchase such

Mortgage Loan, if the Seller delivers such documents promptly upon receipt, but

in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date.

 

         (d) In the event that a Mortgage Loan is purchased by the Seller in

accordance with subsections 2.02(a) or (b) above or Section 2.03, the Seller

shall remit the applicable Purchase Price to the Trustee for deposit in the

related Distribution Account and shall provide written notice to the Trustee

detailing the components of the Purchase Price, signed by an authorized officer.

Upon deposit of the Purchase Price in the related Distribution Account and upon

receipt of a request for release (in the form attached to the Custodial

Agreement) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the Custodian, on behalf of the

Trustee, will release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee

shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without

recourse, furnished to it by the Seller, as are necessary to vest in the Seller

title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan. Such purchase shall be deemed to

have occurred on the date on which the deposit into the Distribution Account was

made. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of such repurchase.

The obligation of the Seller to cure, repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage

Loan as to which a defect in a constituent document exists shall be the sole

remedies respecting such defect available to the Certificateholders or to the

Trustee on their behalf. The Seller shall promptly reimburse the Trustee for any

expenses incurred by the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such

breach.
