“Depositor”),
GREENWICH CAPITAL FINANCIAL PRODUCTS, INC., a New York corporation, as seller
(the “Seller”),
XXXXX
FARGO BANK, N.A., a national banking association, as master servicer (in such
capacity, the “Master

and as
securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities
Administrator”),
XXXXXXX FIXED INCOME SERVICES INC., as credit risk manager (the “Credit Risk

PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT:
Through
this Agreement, the Depositor intends to cause the issuance and sale of the
DSLA
Mortgage Loan Trust Mortgage Loan Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-AR1
(the “Certificates”)
representing in the aggregate the entire beneficial ownership of the Trust
Fund,
the primary assets of which are the Mortgage Loans (as defined
below).
The
Depositor intends to sell the Certificates, to be issued hereunder in multiple
classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership
interest in the Trust Fund. The Certificates will consist of sixteen classes
of
certificates, designated as (i) the Class 1A-1A Certificates, (ii) the Class
2A-1A Certificates, (iii) the Class 2A-1B Certificates, (iv) the Class 2A-1C
Certificates, (v) the Class 2A-2C Certificates, (vi) the Class M-1 Certificates,
(vii) the Class M-2 Certificates, (viii) Class M-3 Certificates, (ix) the Class
M-4 Certificates, (x) the Class M-5 Certificates, (xi) the Class M-6
Certificates, (xii) the Class M-7 Certificates, (xiii) the Class M-8
Certificates, (xiv) the Class M-9 Certificates, (xv) the Class C Certificates,
(xvi) the Class P Certificates and (xvii) the Class R Certificates.
For
federal income tax purposes, the Trust Fund (exclusive of the assets held in
the
Prefunding Account, the Capitalized Interest Account, the Basis Risk Reserve
Fund, the Basis Risk Cap Agreement, the Basis Risk Cap Account, the Basis Risk
Cap Replacement Receipts Account, the Yield Maintenance Trust, the Yield
Maintenance Trust Account, the Yield Maintenance Account, the Yield Maintenance
Agreement, the Collateral Account, the Final Maturity Reserve Trust and the
Final Maturity Reserve Account (the “Excluded
Trust Property”))
comprises three REMICs in a tiered REMIC structure: the “Lower-Tier
REMIC,”
the
“Middle-Tier
REMIC,”
and
the
“Upper-Tier
REMIC.”
Each
Certificate, other than the Class R Certificates, shall represent ownership
of a
regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC, as described herein. The LIBOR
Certificates also
represent the right to receive (i) payments in respect of the Final Maturity
Reserve Account, (ii) payments in respect of Basis Risk Shortfalls from the
Basis Risk Reserve Fund as provided in Section 5.07, (iii) payments in respect
of Basis Risk Shortfalls from the Yield Maintenance Account as provided in
Section 5.01(h), and (iv) payments in respect of Basis Risk Shortfalls from
the
Basis Risk Cap Account as provided in Section 5.12. The owners of the Class
C
Certificates beneficially own the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, the Basis Risk Cap
Account, the Final Maturity Reserve Account, the Final Maturity Reserve Trust,
the Yield Maintenance Trust Account, and the Yield Maintenance Account. The
Class R Certificate represents the sole class of residual interest in the
Upper-Tier REMIC, as well as the sole residual interest in each of the
Lower-Tier REMIC and the Middle-Tier REMIC.
1
The
Lower-Tier REMIC will hold as its assets all of the assets constituting the
Trust Fund (exclusive of the Excluded Trust Property) and will issue five
uncertificated interests, four of which shall be the “Lower-Tier
Regular Interests”
and
one
residual interest (the “LT-R Interest”), which will represent the sole class of
residual interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC.
The
Middle-Tier REMIC will hold as its assets all of the Lower-Tier Regular
Interests and shall issue 19 uncertificated interests, 18 of which shall be
the
“Middle-Tier
Regular Interests”
and
one
residual interest (the “MT-R Interest”), which will represent the sole class of
residual interest in the Middle-Tier REMIC.
The
Upper-Tier REMIC will hold as its assets all of the Middle-Tier Regular
Interests and shall issue the Certificates.
For
purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the startup day for each REMIC created hereby
is the Closing Date. All REMIC regular and residual interests created hereby
will be retired on or before the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

(1) |
The
interest rate with respect to the first three Distribution Dates
(and the
related Accrual Period) for the LT- Initial Lower-Tier Regular Interests
is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Loan
Rates of
the Initial Mortgage Loans as of the first day of the related Due
Period.
The interest rate for any subsequent Distribution Date (and the related
Accrual Period) is the Net WAC.
|
(2) |
The
interest rate with respect to the first three Distribution Dates
(and the
related Accrual Period) for the LT-Subsequent Lower-Tier Regular
Interest
is 0.00%, and for every Distribution Date (and related Accrual Period)
thereafter is the Net WAC.
|
(3) |
The
LT-C Interest is an interest only interest that does not have a principal
balance. For the first three Distribution Dates only it shall have
a
notional balance equal to the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balances,
if any, of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans as of the first day of the
related Due Period. For the first three Distribution Dates only,
it shall
be entitled to interest, if any, accrued on the Subsequent Mortgage
Loans
for the related Due Period at their Net Loan Rates, but only to the
extent
the interest so accrued is included in Available Funds for either
Loan
Group for such first Distribution Date. For each Distribution Date
after
the first three Distribution Dates, the notional balance of the LT-C
Interest shall be zero and it shall not be entitled to any
distributions.
|
2
(4) |
The
LT-I Interest is an interest only interest that does not have a principal
balance but has a notional amount as of any Distribution Date equal
to the
aggregate of the principal balances of the Mortgage Loans as of the
first
day of the related Due Period. For any Distribution Date before the
Distribution Date in February 2017, it shall bear interest for the
related
Due Period at a fixed rate of 0.00%, and for each Distribution Date
commencing on the Distribution Date in February 2017 and on each
Distribution Date thereafter until the Final Maturity Reserve Termination
Date, it shall bear interest for the related Due Period at a fixed
rate
equal to the Final Maturity Reserve
Rate.
|
(5)
|
The
LT-R Interest is the sole Class of residual interest in the Lower-Tier
REMIC. It does not have an interest rate or a principal
balance.
|
(6)
|
The
initial principal balance for the LT-Initial Interest shall be equal
to
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans
as of
the Cut-off Date.
|
(7)
|
The
initial principal balance for the LT-Subsequent Interest shall be
equal to
the Prefunded Amount.
|
On
each
Distribution Date, Available Funds for both Loan Groups shall be distributed
among the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the LT-R Interest in the following
order of priority:
(1)
First, as interest on the Lower-Tier Regular Interests at the interest rates
described above;
(2)
Second, to the LT-Initial Interest, in reduction of its principal balance,
an
amount necessary to cause its principal balance to equal the aggregate of the
Stated Principal Balances of the Initial Mortgage Loans as of the close of
the
related Due Period;
(2)
Third, to the LT-Subsequent Interest, in reduction of its principal balance,
an
amount necessary to reduce its principal balance to zero; and
(3)
Finally, to the LT-R Interest, any remaining amounts.
If
on any
Distribution Date, Realized Losses have been sustained in the related Prepayment
Period, and after taking into account distributions on such Distribution Date,
the aggregate principal balance of the LT-Initial and LT-Subsequent Interests
exceed the Pool Collateral Balance for such Distribution Date, Realized Losses,
to the extent of such excess, shall be allocated between the LT-Initial and
LT-Subsequent Interests in the same manner in which principal distributions
a
made on such Lower-Tier Regular Interests.
On
each
Distribution Date, Net Deferred Interest shall be allocated between the
LT-Initial and LT-Subsequent Interests in the same manner in which principal
distributions are made on such Lower-Tier Regular Interests.
On
each
Distribution Date, Prepayment Penalty Amounts on the Initial Mortgage Loans
shall be paid in respect of the LT-Initial Interest and any Prepayment Penalty
Amounts on the Subsequent Mortgage Loans shall be paid in respect of the
LT-Subsequent Interests.

the
LT-Initial and LT-Subsequent Lower-Tier Regular Interests, weighted
based
on their relative principal balances as of the first day of the related
Accrual Period.
|
(2) |
The
MT-I Interest is an interest only interest that does not have a principal
balance. For any Distribution Date, it is entitled to all amounts
distributed in respect of the LT-I Interest on such Distribution
Date.
|
(3) |
The
MT-C Interest is an interest only interest that does not have a principal
balance. For any Distribution Date, it is entitled to all amounts
distributed in respect of the LT-C Interest on such Distribution
Date.
|

The
MT-R Interest is the sole Class of residual interest in the Middle-Tier
REMIC. It does not have an interest rate or a principal
balance.
|

Each
of these Middle-Tier Regular Interests shall have an initial principal
balance equal to one-half of the Original Class Principal Balance
of its
Corresponding Class of
Certificates.
|
(6) |
The
MT-Q Interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the
excess
of (i) the Pool Collateral Balance as of the Cut-off Date, over (ii)
the
aggregate initial class principal amount of each remaining Middle-Tier
Regular Interest.

On
each
Distribution Date, Available Funds shall be distributed in payment of principal
on the Lower-Tier Regular Interests as follows:

MT-M-2,
MT-M-3, MT-M-4, MT-M-5, MT-M-6, MT-M-7, MT-M-8, MT-M-9 and MT-P Interests
until the principal balance of each such Middle-Tier Regular Interest
equals 50% of the Class Principal Balance of the Corresponding Class
of
Certificates immediately after such Distribution
Date;
|
b. |
to
the MT-Q Interest until its principal balance equals the excess,
if any,
of (I) the Pool Collateral Balance immediately after such Distribution
Date over (II) the aggregate of the principal balances of the Middle-Tier
Regular Interests (other than the MT-Q , MT-C, and the MT-I Interests)
after taking into account distributions on such Distribution Date
under
priority (a) above; and
|
c. |
finally,
to the Middle-Tier Regular Interests, as distributions of interest
at the
interest rates shown in the table
above.
|
On
each
Distribution Date, after taking into account principal distributions under
priorities (a) and (b) above, Realized Losses attributable to principal and
any

Calculated
pursuant to the definition of “Pass-Through Rate.” For purposes of the
REMIC Provisions, for the first Distribution Date only, interest
accrued
on any Class of LIBOR Certificates at a Pass-Through Rate in excess
of the
Middle-Tier Net WAC Cap shall be deemed to have been paid from the
Basis
Risk Reserve Fund, the Yield Maintenance Account, or the Basis Risk
Cap
Account.
|
(2) |
The
Class C Certificates shall have an initial principal balance of
$3,994,62116.. The Class C Certificates also comprise a notional
component
having a notional amount that at all times will equal the aggregate
of the
principal balances of the Middle-Tier Regular Interests (i.e., the
Pool
Collateral Balance). For each Distribution Date (and the related
Accrual
Period), the notional component shall bear interest at a rate equal
to the
excess of (a) the weighted average of the interest rates on the
Middle-Tier Regular Interests (other than the MT-I and MT-C Interests),
weighted on the basis of the principal balance of each such Middle-Tier
Regular Interest, over (b) the Adjusted Middle-Tier WAC. For any
Distribution Date, interest that accrues on the notional component
of the
Class C Certificates shall be deferred to the extent of any increase
in
the Overcollateralized Amount on such date. Such deferred interest
shall
not itself bear interest. In addition to the rights set forth above,
the
Class C Certificates shall also evidence ownership of the MT-I and
MT-C
Interests in the Middle-Tier REMIC.
|
(3) |
The
Class P Certificates shall not bear interest at a stated rate. The
Class P
Certificates shall have an initial Class Principal Balance of $100.00.
Prepayment Penalty Amounts paid with respect to the Mortgage Loans
shall
be distributed to the Class P
Certificates.
|
(4) |
The
Class R Certificates represent the sole class of residual interest
in the
Upper-Tier REMIC and do not have a principal balance or a pass-through
rate. In addition, the Class R Certificates represent ownership of
the
LT-R Interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC and the MT-R Interest in the
Middle-Tier REMIC.

68
SECTION
2.02. Acceptance by Trustee.
The
Trustee hereby accepts its appointment as Custodian hereunder and acknowledges
the receipt, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the review
described below and any exceptions noted on the exception report described
in
the next paragraph below, of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 above
and
all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” and declares that,
in its capacity as Custodian, it holds and will hold such documents and the
other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File, and that it holds
or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in the definition
of
“Trust Fund” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and
future Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer.
The
Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) further agrees, for the benefit of
the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, to review each Mortgage File
delivered to it and to certify and deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, any
NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency an interim certification in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2, within 90 days after the Closing Date
(or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day, within 45
days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage, within
five Business Days after the assignment thereof) that, as to each Mortgage
Loan
listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in
full
or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed
thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents
required to be delivered by it pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement
are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and
have not been mutilated, damaged or torn and relate to such Mortgage Loan and
(iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the
information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items
(i), (ii) and (xv) of the Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately reflects information
set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting
such review, the Trustee and the Custodian on its behalf are under no duty
or
obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable,
or
appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded
or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
No
later
than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee (or the Custodian on its
behalf) shall deliver to the Depositor, any NIMS Insurer and the Seller a final
certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-3 evidencing the
completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon.
If,
in
the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the
case
may be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee finds any document
or
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or not conforming
to the requirements set forth herein, at the conclusion of its review the
Trustee (or the Custodian as its designated agent) shall promptly notify the
Certificate Insurer, the Seller and the Depositor. In addition, upon the
discovery by the Seller or the Depositor (or upon receipt by the Trustee of
written notification of such breach) of a breach of any of the representations
and warranties made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in
respect of any Mortgage Loan that materially adversely affects such Mortgage
Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders or the Certificate
Insurer in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the other parties to this Agreement.
69
The
Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer herein
contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage
Notes
and the related documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any
liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee and that such property
not be part of the Depositor’s estate or property of the Depositor in the event
of any insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed
to be, or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the
Depositor shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee
a
first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right,
title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes
and
the related documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law.
The
Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) shall execute and deliver to the
Depositor on or prior to each Subsequent Transfer Date an acknowledgment of
receipt of the original Mortgage Note (with any exceptions noted), substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit G-1 hereto.
The
Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) shall, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, review each Mortgage File delivered to it for the Subsequent
Mortgage Loans and to certify and deliver to the Depositor, the Seller and
the
Rating Agency an interim certification in substantially the form attached hereto
as Exhibit G-2, within 45 days after each Subsequent Transfer Date that, as
to
each Subsequent Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than
any Subsequent Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Subsequent Mortgage Loan
specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being
covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be delivered
to it pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement are in its possession,
(ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated,
damaged or torn and relate to such Subsequent Mortgage Loan and (iii) based
on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth
in
the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (i), (ii) and (iii) of
the
Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage
File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee
and
the Custodian on its behalf are under no duty or obligation to inspect, review
or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to
determine that they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented
purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than
what they purport to be on their face.
No
later
than 90 days after each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Trustee or the Custodian
on behalf of the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and the Seller a final
certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-3 (or a substantially
similar form) evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If,
in
the course of such review of the Mortgage Files relating to the Subsequent
Mortgage Loans, the Custodian finds any document constituting a part of a
Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01(b), the
Trustee shall cause the Custodian to list such as an exception in the Final
Certification; provided,
however,
that
the Trustee shall not 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 or Originator, as applicable, shall cure
any
such defect or repurchase or substitute for any such Mortgage Loan in accordance
with this Section 2.02.
70
SECTION
2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Originator and the
Seller.
(a) Upon
its
discovery or receipt of written notice of any materially defective document
in,
or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by the
Originator of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Purchase
Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects
the
value of that Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders
or
the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Originator of
such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Originator deliver
such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the
date
that the Originator was notified of such missing document, defect or breach,
and
if the Originator does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect
or
breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce
the Originator’s obligation under the Purchase Agreement and cause the
Originator to repurchase that Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the
Repurchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) on or prior to the
Determination Date following the expiration of such 90 day period. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the related Originator to cure
or
to repurchase or to substitute for (or, with respect to any costs and damages
incurred by the Trust Fund in connection with any violation of any
anti-predatory or anti-abusive lending laws, indemnify for) any Mortgage Loan
as
to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document
exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall
constitute the sole remedy against the Originator respecting such omission,
defect or breach available to the Trustee or any NIMS Insurer on behalf of
the
Certificateholders.
(b) Upon
discovery or receipt of written notice that a document does not comply with
the
requirements of Section 2.01 hereof, or that a document is missing from, a
Mortgage File or of the breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty
or
covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or in Section 2.04 or
Section 2.07 hereof in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely
affects the value of that Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the
Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee (or the Custodian
as
its designated agent) shall promptly notify the Seller of such noncompliance,
missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver such missing
document or cure such noncompliance or breach within 90 days from the date
that
the Seller was notified of such missing document, noncompliance or breach,
and
if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such noncompliance
or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce
the Seller’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and cause the
Seller to repurchase that Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase
Price on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such
90
day period (subject to Section 2.03(e) below); provided,
however,
that, in
connection with any such breach that could not reasonably have been cured within
such 90 day period, if the Seller shall have commenced to cure such breach
within such 90 day period, the Seller shall be permitted to proceed thereafter
diligently and expeditiously to cure the same within the additional period
provided under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; and, provided
further,
that,
in the case of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made
by
the Seller in Section 2.04 hereof, the Seller shall be obligated to cure such
breach or purchase the affected Mortgage Loans for the Purchase Price or, if
the
Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property acquired with respect thereto
has been sold, then the Seller shall pay, in lieu of the Purchase Price, any
excess of the Purchase Price over the Net Liquidation Proceeds received upon
such sale.
71
(c) The
Purchase Price or Repurchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) for
a
Mortgage Loan purchased or repurchased under this Section 2.03 or such other
amount due shall be deposited in the Distribution Account on or prior to the
next Determination Date after the Seller’s or the Originator’s obligation to
repurchase such Mortgage Loan arises. The Trustee, upon receipt of written
certification from the Seller or the Originator of the related deposit in the
Distribution Account, shall cause the Custodian to release to the Seller or
the
Originator, as applicable, the related Mortgage File and shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Seller or the Originator, as applicable, shall furnish to
it
and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or the Originator, as
applicable, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee and
the
Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage
File
(it being understood that the Trustee and the Custodian shall have no
responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its
intended purpose). In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided
above, the Seller may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust
Fund
(in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one
or
more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.03(e) below. It is understood and agreed
that
the obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase or to substitute for
(or,
with respect to any costs and damages incurred by the Trust Fund in connection
with any violation of any anti-predatory or anti-abusive lending laws, indemnify
for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect
in a
constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is
continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting such
omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders
(d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth above, with respect to any breach by the
Seller of a representation or warranty made by the Seller herein or in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that materially and adversely affects the
value
of a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans or the interest therein of the
Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer, if the Seller would not be in
breach of such representation or warranty but for a breach by an Originator
of a
representation and warranty made by the Originator in the Servicing Agreement,
then the Originator thereunder, in the manner and to the extent set forth
therein, and not the Seller, shall be required to remedy such breach.
In
addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, the Seller shall
indemnify the Trust Fund and hold it harmless against any losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand,
defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach
of
the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Section
2.04.
72
The
Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement including, without limitation, any obligation of the Seller
to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective documentation
or
on account of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant as described
in
this Section 2.03(c).
(e) If
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03(b), the Seller repurchases or
otherwise removes from the Trust Fund a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage
Loan, the Seller shall take (or shall cause the applicable Servicer to take),
at
the expense of the Seller (with the cooperation of the Depositor, the Trustee
and the Master Servicer), such actions as are necessary either (i) cause MERS
to
execute and deliver an Assignment of 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 or
its designee as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
(f) [Reserved].
(g) Any
substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans
made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) above must be effected prior to the last
Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. With respect
to
any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the
Seller delivering to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the
Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all
necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01 hereof, together
with an Officers’ Certificate stating that each such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution
Adjustment (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution;
provided,
however,
that, in
the case of any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage
Loan,
the Seller shall provide such documents and take such other action with respect
to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as are required pursuant to Section
2.01 hereof. The Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt
for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within five Business
Days thereafter, shall review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 hereof
and deliver to the Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit G-2, with any exceptions noted thereon. Within 180 days of the date
of
substitution, the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall deliver to the Seller
and the Master Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit
G-3
hereto with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with
any exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the
Trust
Fund and will be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution,
distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the collections and recoveries
in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the Due Period preceding the month
of substitution and the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall
thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect
of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan. 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 Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended
Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities
Administrator. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or Loans shall constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all
respects to the terms of this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution
effected by the Seller, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, in
the
case of a substitution effected by the Seller all representations and warranties
thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and all representations
and warranties thereof set forth in Section 2.04 hereof, in each case as of
the
date of substitution.
73
For
any
month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall determine, and
provide written certification to the Trustee and the Seller as to, the amount
(each, a “Substitution
Adjustment”),
if
any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans
exceeds the aggregate, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan,
of
the principal balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with
one
month’s interest on such principal balance at the applicable Net Loan Rate. On
or prior to the next Determination Date after the Seller’s obligation to
repurchase the related Deleted Mortgage Loan arises, the Seller will deliver
or
cause to be delivered to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account an amount equal to the related Substitution Adjustment,
if
any, and the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of the related
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and a written certification from
the
Seller of its remittance of the deposit to the Distribution Account, shall
release to the Seller the related Mortgage File or Files and shall execute
and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest
therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In
addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the NIMS
Insurer and the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
substitution (either specifically or as a class of transactions) will not cause
an Adverse REMIC Event.
If such
Opinion of Counsel cannot be delivered, then such substitution may only be
effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be
given.
(h) Upon
discovery by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee
that
any 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 within
two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In
connection therewith, the Seller shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 2.03(e), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier
of
discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage
Loan.
Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set
forth in Section 2.03(b) above, if made by the Seller. The Trustee shall
reconvey to the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in
the
same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan
repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.
(i) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent that any fact, condition or event with respect
to a
Mortgage Loan constitutes a breach of both (i) a representation or warranty
of
the Originator under the Purchase Agreement and (ii) a representation or
warranty of the Seller under this Agreement, in each case, which materially
adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of
the
Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee shall first request
that the Originator cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan and if
the
Originator fails to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan within
60
days of receipt of such request from the Trustee, the Trustee shall then request
that the Seller cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loans.

SECTION
2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Seller with Respect to the
Mortgage Loans.
The
Seller hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Trustee
on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer as of the
Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans and as of the applicable
Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to any Subsequent Mortgage
Loan:
(i) Any
and
all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without
limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures,
predatory and abusive lending, consumer credit protection, equal credit
opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the origination
and
servicing of mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans at
origination have been complied with;
(ii) No
Mortgage Loan is (a)(1) subject to the provisions of the Homeownership and
Equity Protection Act of 1994 as amended (“HOEPA”) or (2) has an annual
percentage rate (“APR”) or total points and fees that are equal to or exceeds
the HOEPA thresholds (as defined in 12 CFR 226.32 (a)(1)(i) and (ii)), (b)
a
“high cost” mortgage loan, “covered” mortgage loan, “high risk home” mortgage
loan, or “predatory” mortgage loan or any other comparable term, no matter how
defined under any federal, state or local law, (c) subject to any comparable
federal, state or local statutes or regulations, or any other statute or
regulation providing for assignee liability to holders of such mortgage loans,
or (d) a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable (as such terms are
defined in the then current Standard & Poor’s LEVELS® Glossary Revised,
Appendix E). In addition, no Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1,
2002, through March 6, 2003, is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act;
(iii) With
respect to each representation and warranty with respect to any Mortgage Loan
made by the Originator in the Purchase Agreement that is made as of the related
Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), to the Seller’s knowledge,
no event has occurred since the related Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement) that would render such representations and warranties to be untrue
in
any material respect as of the Closing Date; and
(iv) Each
Group 1 Mortgage Loan has an original principal balance that conforms to Xxxxxxx
Mac guidelines in effect as of the Closing Date.
With
respect to the representations and warranties incorporated in this Section
2.04
that are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge or as to which the Seller
has no knowledge, if it is discovered by the Depositor, the Seller, the
Certificate Insurer, the Master Servicer 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 interest
therein of the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer then,
notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of
such representation and warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation
or warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable
representation or warranty.
75
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties incorporated
in
this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee
and shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate
Insurer notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment.
Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Seller, the Certificate Insurer,
the
Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value
of any Mortgage Loan or the interests therein of the Certificateholders or
the
Certificate Insurer, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other parties, and in no event later than two Business Days from
the date of such discovery. It is understood and agreed that the obligations
of
the Seller set forth in Section 2.03(a) hereof to cure, substitute for or
repurchase (or, with respect to any costs and damages incurred by the trust
fund
in connection with any violation of any anti-predatory
