THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as
of September 1, 2006, among FIRST HORIZON ASSET SECURITIES INC., a
Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”),
FIRST HORIZON HOME LOAN CORPORATION, a Kansas corporation, as
master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), and THE BANK
OF NEW YORK, a banking corporation organized under the laws of the
State of New York, as trustee (the
“Trustee”).
WITNESSETH THAT
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund
that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee in return for the
Certificates. The Trust Fund for federal income tax purposes will
consist of three separate REMICs, each having assets as provided
herein. The Certificates will represent the entire beneficial
ownership interest in the Trust Fund. The Regular Certificates will
represent “regular interests” in the Upper REMIC. The
Class I-A-R Certificates will represent the residual interests in
the Lower REMIC, Middle REMIC and Upper REMIC, as described in
Section 2.7. The “latest possible maturity date” for
federal income tax purposes of each REMIC regular interest created
hereby will be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
The following table sets forth characteristics
of the Certificates, together with the minimum denominations and
integral multiples in excess thereof in which such Classes shall be
issuable (except that one Certificate of each Class of Certificates
may be issued in a different amount and, in addition, one Residual
Certificate representing the Tax Matters Person Certificate may be
issued in a different amount):

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 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 2006-FA6, 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 Loan pursuant to
this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any
documents by the appropriate recording office, and there is a
dispute between either the Master Servicer or the Seller and the
Trustee over the location or status of the recorded document, then
such substitution or purchase shall occur within 720 days from the
Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver or shall cause the
Custodian to deliver written notice to each Rating Agency within
270 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage Loan (a)
which has not been returned by the appropriate recording office or
(b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or status of such
Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days
thereafter until the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the
Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf. Any such substitution
pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to (b) above shall not
be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of
Counsel required by Section 2.5 hereof, if any, and any
substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to
the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release
substantially in the form of Exhibit L. No substitution is
permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination
Date for such month. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan
shall be deposited by the Seller in the Certificate Account on or
prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution
Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon
receipt of such deposit and certification with respect thereto in
the form of Exhibit M hereto (delivery of which to the Custodian
will be by electronic data transmission or email), the Trustee
shall cause the Custodian to release the related Mortgage File to
the Seller and shall execute and deliver at the Seller’s
request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the
Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to
vest in the Seller, or a designee, the Trustee’s interest in
any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. If pursuant to the
foregoing provisions the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is
a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall either (i) cause
MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in
recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller
and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on
the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and
regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS®
System the Seller as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage
Loan.
The Trustee shall retain or shall cause the
Custodian to retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in
accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee
or the Custodian on its behalf, upon the execution or receipt
thereof, the originals of such other documents or instruments
constituting the Mortgage File as come into the possession of the
Master Servicer from time to time.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation
of the Seller to substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan
which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.1 above shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the
Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder against the
Seller.
The mortgage loans permitted by the terms of
this Agreement to be included in the Trust Fund are limited to (i)
the Mortgage Loans (which the Depositor acquired pursuant to the
MLPA, which contains, among other representations and warranties, a
representation and warranty of the Seller that no Mortgage Loan is
a “high cost loan” as defined by the specific
applicable local, state or federal predatory and abusive lending
laws, and (ii) Substitute Mortgage Loans (which, by definition as
set forth in this Agreement and referred to in the MLPA, are
required to conform to, among other representations and warranties,
a representation and warranty of the Seller set forth in the MLPA
that no Substitute Mortgage Loan is a “high cost loan”
as defined by the specific applicable local, state or federal
predatory and abusive lending laws). It is therefore understood and
agreed by the parties hereto that it is not intended that any
Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust Fund that is a “high
cost loan” as defined by the specific applicable local, state
or federal predatory and abusive lending laws.

Upon discovery
by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or
warranty made pursuant to Schedule B to the MLPA that materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in
any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt notice thereof to the other parties. The Seller hereby

anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a
“Deleted Mortgage Loan”) from the Trust Fund and
substitute in its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner
and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii)
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the
Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below;
provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above
shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the
Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.5 hereof, if any, and
any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected
prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian on
its behalf of a Request for Release substantially in the form of
Exhibit M (delivery of which to the Custodian will be by electronic
data transmission or email) and the Mortgage File for any such
Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall promptly reimburse the
Master Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably
incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee in respect of
enforcing the remedies for such breach. With respect to the
representations and warranties described in this Section which are
made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, if it is
discovered by either the Depositor, the Seller or the Trustee that
the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and
such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the
related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders
therein, notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with
respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such
inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable
representation or warranty.
|
With respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, the Seller shall deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian on
its behalf for the benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and
such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.1,
with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as
required by Section 2.1. No substitution is permitted to be made in
any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month.
