In the case of the documents referred to in clause (x) above, the Depositor shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such documents to the Trustee or the related Custodian promptly after they are received. EMC shall cause, at its expense, the Mortgage and intervening assignments, if any, and to the extent required in accordance with the foregoing, the assignment of the Mortgage to the Trustee to be submitted for recording promptly after the Closing Date; provided that EMC need not cause to be recorded (a) any assignment in any jurisdiction under the laws of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee delivered by EMC to the Trustee, the Custodians and each Rating Agency, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan or (b) if MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage as the mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the related Seller and its successors and assigns. In the event that either Seller, the Depositor or the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator gives written notice to the Trustee that a court has recharacterized the sale of the Mortgage Loans as a financing, EMC shall submit or cause to be submitted for recording as specified above each such previously unrecorded assignment to be submitted for recording as specified above at the expense of the Trust.

In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS® System, EMC further agrees that it will cause, at EMC’s own expense, within 30 days after the Closing Date, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by EMC to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. EMC further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Company or the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not delivered to the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf are and shall be held by or on behalf of the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. Any such original document delivered to or held by the Depositor, shall be delivered promptly to the Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf. Whenever it is provided for in this Agreement that any document, evidence or information relating to a Mortgage Loan to be included in a Mortgage File be delivered or supplied to the Trustee, such delivery or supply shall be made to the appropriate Custodian pursuant to the related Custodial Agreement.
