                                    (or in a form suitable for recordation).

 

         In the event that in   connection   with any Mortgage   Loan that is not a

MERS   Mortgage   Loan the   Depositor   cannot   deliver (a) the   original   recorded

Mortgage or (b) all interim recorded assignments   satisfying the requirements of

clause (ii) or (iii) above,   respectively,   concurrently   with the execution and

delivery   hereof   because such document or documents have not been returned from

the applicable public recording office,   the Depositor shall promptly deliver or

cause to be   delivered   to the   Trustee   or the   Custodian   on its   behalf   such

original Mortgage or such interim assignment,   as the case may be, with evidence

of recording   indicated   thereon upon receipt thereof from the public   recording

office, or a copy thereof,   certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording

office,   but in no event shall any such   delivery of the   original   Mortgage and

each such interim assignment or a copy thereof,   certified,   if appropriate,   by

the relevant recording office, be made later than one year following the Closing

Date;   provided,   however,   in the event the   Depositor   is unable to deliver or

cause   to be   delivered   by such   date   each   Mortgage   and   each   such   interim

assignment by reason of the fact that any such   documents have not been returned

by the   appropriate   recording   office,   or,   in the case of each   such   interim

assignment,    because   the   related   Mortgage   has   not   been   returned   by   the

appropriate   recording   office,   the   Depositor   shall   deliver   or   cause to be

delivered   such   documents   to the   Trustee   or the   Custodian   on its behalf as

promptly as possible   upon receipt   thereof   and, in any event,   within 720 days

following the Closing Date. The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded

to the Trustee or the   Custodian on its behalf (a) from time to time   additional

original   documents   evidencing an assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan

and (b) any other   documents   required to be delivered   by the   Depositor or the

Master Servicer to the Trustee.   In the event that the original   Mortgage is not

delivered   and in   connection   with the payment in full of the related   Mortgage

Loan and the   public   recording   office   requires   the   presentation   of a "lost

instruments affidavit and indemnity" or any equivalent document,   because only a

 

 

                                      -36-

<PAGE>

 

copy of the Mortgage can be delivered   with the   instrument of   satisfaction   or

reconveyance,   the Master   Servicer   shall   execute   and   deliver or cause to be

executed and delivered such a document to the public   recording   office.   In the

case where a public recording office retains the original   recorded   Mortgage or

in the case where a Mortgage   is lost after   recordation   in a public   recording

office,   the Depositor   shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or

the   Custodian   on its behalf a copy of such   Mortgage   certified by such public

recording   office   to be a true   and   complete   copy   of the   original   recorded

Mortgage.

 

         In addition, in the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan the

Depositor   cannot   deliver or cause to be   delivered   the   original or duplicate

original   lender's title policy (together with all riders   thereto),   satisfying

the   requirements   of clause   (v) above,   concurrently   with the   execution   and

delivery   hereof   because the related   Mortgage has not been   returned   from the

applicable   public   recording   office,   the Depositor shall promptly   deliver or

cause to be   delivered   to the   Trustee   or the   Custodian   on its   behalf   such

original or duplicate   original   lender's title policy (together with all riders

thereto) upon receipt thereof from the applicable title insurer, but in no event

shall any such   delivery of the original or duplicate   original   lender's   title

policy   be made   later   than one year   following   the   Closing   Date;   provided,

however,   in the   event   the   Depositor   is   unable   to   deliver   or cause to be

delivered by such date the original or duplicate   original lender's title policy

(together   with all riders   thereto)   because the related   Mortgage has not been

returned by the   appropriate   recording   office,   the Depositor shall deliver or

cause to be   delivered   such   documents   to the Trustee or the   Custodian on its

behalf as promptly as possible   upon receipt   thereof and, in any event,   within

720 days   following   the   Closing   Date;   provided   further,   however,   that the

Depositor   shall not be required to deliver an   original or   duplicate   lender's

title policy   (together   with all riders   thereto) if the Depositor   delivers an

Alternative   Title Product in lieu thereof.   Notwithstanding   the preceding,   in

connection   with any   Mortgage   Loan for which   either the original or duplicate

original title policy has not been delivered to the Trust, if at any time during

the term of this Agreement the parent company of the Seller does not have a long

term senior debt rating of A- or higher from S&P and A- or higher from Fitch (if

rated by Fitch),   then the Depositor shall within 30 days deliver or cause to be

delivered   to   the   Trustee   or   the   Custodian   on its   behalf   (if it has   not

previously done so) a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary report

of the title issued by the title insurance or escrow company with respect to the

Mortgaged Property.

 

         Subject   to   the   immediately    following   sentence,    as   promptly   as

practicable subsequent to such transfer and assignment, and in any event, within

thirty   (30) days   thereafter,   the   Master   Servicer   shall (i)   complete   each

assignment   of   Mortgage,   as   follows:   "First   Horizon   Mortgage   Pass-Through

Certificates, Series 2005-AA10, The Bank of New York, as trustee for the holders

of the   Certificates",   (ii)   cause   such   assignment   to be in proper   form for

recording in the appropriate   public office for real property   records and (iii)

cause to be delivered   for recording in the   appropriate   public office for real

property   records the assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee,   except that,

with respect to any   assignments of Mortgage as to which the Master Servicer has

not received the   information   required to prepare such assignment in recordable

form, the Master Servicer's obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such

recording shall be as soon as practicable   after receipt of such information and

in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.   Notwithstanding the

foregoing,   the Master   Servicer   need not cause to be recorded   any   assignment

which   relates   to a   Mortgage   Loan   in   any   state   other   than   the   Required

Recordation States.

         In the case of Mortgage   Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the

Closing Date,   the Depositor,   in lieu of delivering the above   documents to the

Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf,   will deposit in the Certificate Account

the portion of such payment that is required to be deposited in the   Certificate

Account pursuant to Section 3.8 hereof.

 

         Notwithstanding   anything   to the   contrary in this   Agreement,   within

thirty days after the Closing Date,   the   Depositor   shall either (i) deliver or

cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf the Mortgage

File as required   pursuant to this Section 2.1 for each Delay Delivery   Mortgage

Loan or (ii) (A)   substitute or cause to be   substituted   a Substitute   Mortgage

Loan for the   Delay   Delivery   Mortgage   Loan or (B)   repurchase   or cause to be

repurchased the Delay Delivery   Mortgage Loan, which   substitution or repurchase

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

Section 2.3 (treating   each Delay Delivery   Mortgage Loan as a Deleted   Mortgage

Loan for purposes of such Section 2.3), provided, however, that if the Depositor

fails to deliver a Mortgage File for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the

thirty-day   period provided in the prior   sentence,   the Depositor shall use its

best reasonable efforts to effect or cause to be effected a substitution, rather

than a repurchase of, such Deleted   Mortgage Loan and provided   further that the

cure period provided for in Section 2.2 or in Section 2.3 shall not apply to the

initial delivery of the Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, but

rather the   Depositor   shall have five (5) Business   Days to cure or cause to be

cured such failure to deliver. At the end of such thirty-day period, the Trustee

or the Custodian,   on its behalf shall send a Delay Delivery   Certification   for

the Delay Delivery   Mortgage Loans delivered   during such   thirty-day   period in

accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2.   Notwithstanding   anything to the

contrary   contained in this   Agreement,   none of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust

Fund is or will be Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans.

 

         SECTION 2.2 Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.

 

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

receipt of the   documents   identified in the Initial   Certification   in the form

annexed hereto as Exhibit E and declares that it or the Custodian holds and will

hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it or the Custodian, as

applicable,   constituting the Mortgage Files,   and that it or the Custodian,   as

applicable,   holds or will hold such other   assets as are   included in the Trust

Fund,   in trust for the   exclusive   use and   benefit of all   present   and future

Certificateholders.   The Trustee   acknowledges   that the Custodian will maintain

possession   of the   Mortgage   Notes in the   State   of   Texas,   unless   otherwise

permitted by the Rating Agencies.

 

         The Trustee   agrees to execute and deliver or to cause the Custodian to

execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor and the Master Servicer

an Initial   Certification   in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit E. Based on its

or the   Custodian's   review   and   examination,   and   only   as to   the   documents

identified   in such   Initial   Certification,   the   Custodian,   on   behalf of the

Trustee,   acknowledges   that such   documents   appear   regular   on their face and

relate to such Mortgage   Loan.   Neither the Trustee nor the   Custodian   shall be

under any duty or   obligation   to   inspect,   review or examine   said   documents,

instruments,   certificates   or   other   papers   to   determine   that   the same are

genuine,   enforceable or appropriate   for the   represented   purpose or that they

have actually   been   recorded in the real estate   records or that they are other

than what they purport to be on their face.

         On or about   the   thirtieth   (30th)   day after the   Closing   Date,   the

Trustee   shall   deliver or shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor

and the   Master   Servicer a Delay   Delivery   Certification   in the form   annexed

hereto   as    Exhibit   F,   with   any    applicable    exceptions    noted    thereon.

Notwithstanding   anything to the contrary   contained in this Agreement,   none of

the   Mortgage   Loans in the   Trust   Fund is or will be Delay   Delivery   Mortgage

Loans.

 

         Not later   than 90 days   after the   Closing   Date,   the   Trustee   shall

deliver or shall cause the   Custodian to deliver to the Depositor and the Master

Servicer a Subsequent   Certification   in the form   annexed   hereto as Exhibit G,

with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

 

         If, in the course of such   review,   the   Trustee or the   Custodian,   on

behalf of the Trustee, finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File

which does not meet the   requirements   of Section 2.1, the Trustee shall list or

shall   cause   the   Custodian   to list   such as an   exception   in the   Subsequent

Certification;   provided,   however   that   neither the Trustee nor the   Custodian

shall make any   determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to

transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing,   as noteholder

or assignee   thereof,   in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in

recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the

assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates.   The Seller

shall   promptly   correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was

so   notified   of such   defect   and,   if the Seller does not correct or cure such

defect   within such   period,   the Seller   shall   either (a)   substitute   for the

related Mortgage Loan a Substitute   Mortgage Loan, which   substitution   shall be

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

2.3, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from the

date the Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase   Price of

such Mortgage Loan; provided,   however, that in no event shall such substitution

or purchase   occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date,   except that if the

substitution   or   purchase of a Mortgage &
