(g)  The second paragraph of Section 4.16 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
 
 
4

 
 
“With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser, or its designee.  The Trustee’s name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity.  The Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references the Agreement and the Purchaser’s capacity thereunder.  Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Purchaser, or its designee, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Purchaser, or its designee, for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property.  The Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the Purchaser, or its designee, a statement with respect to each REO Property that has been rented showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in connection with the maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the Purchaser, or its designee, to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions.  The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the Certificate Account no later than the close of business on each Determination Date.  The Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and withholding required by Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to foreclosures and abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section 6050H of the Code with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals and any tax reporting required by Section 6050P of the Code with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial entities, by preparing such tax and information returns as may be required, in the form required, and delivering the same to the Purchaser, or its designee, for filing.
 
In the event that the Purchaser, or its designee, acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable in a manner that maximizes the Liquidation Proceeds thereof, but in no event later than three years after its acquisition by the Purchaser, or its designee.  In that event, the Purchaser, or its designee, shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Purchaser, or its designee, of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to a three-year period, if applicable, will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC as defined in section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time, the Purchaser, or its designee, may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel) after the expiration of such three-year period.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Purchaser, or its designee, shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Purchaser, or its designee, in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, or its designee, with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.”
 
(h)  The second paragraph of Section 5.01 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
 
“With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Company on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with such Business Day and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next
 
 
 
5

 
 
succeeding Remittance Date. The payment by the Company of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Company.”
 
(i)  The first sentence of Section 5.02 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
 
“Not later than the 5th Business Day of each month (or if such 5th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day next succeeding such 5th day), the Company shall furnish to the Master Servicer in electronic form mortgage loan level data as mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Master Servicer and the monthly reports substantially in the form of Exhibit II attached hereto with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the period from but including the first day of the preceding calendar month through but excluding the first day of such month.”
 
(j)    Section 5.03 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
 
Monthly Advances by Company.  On the Business Day immediately preceding each Remittance Date, the Company shall either (a) deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds an amount equal to the principal and interest portion of all Monthly Payments (with interest adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate) which were due on the Mortgage Loans during the applicable Due Period and which were delinquent at the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date or which were deferred pursuant to Section 4.01, (b) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Custodial Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 5.03, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such Monthly Advance or (c) make Monthly Advances in the form of any combination of (a) or (b) aggregating the total amount of Monthly Advances to be made.  The Company’s obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the last Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the distribution of all Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or recoveries (including Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that such obligation shall cease if the Servicer, in its good faith judgment, determines that a Monthly Advance would not be recoverable pursuant to Section 4.05(ii). The determination by the Servicer that a Monthly Advance, if made, would be nonrecoverable, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer, delivered to the Purchaser, which details the reasons for such determination.”
 
(k)  The word “or” is added at the end of Section 10.01(ix) of the Agreement and the following paragraph is hereby incorporated into the Agreement as new Section 10.01(x):
 
“(f) failure by the Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Sections 13.04 or 13.05 which failure continues unremedied for a period of fourteen (14) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by any party to this Agreement or by any master servicer responsible for master servicing the Mortgage Loans pursuant to a securitization of such Mortgage Loans;”

(h)           No Consent Required.  No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of or compliance by the Company with this Agreement or the sale of the Mortgage Loans as evidenced by the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or if required, such approval has been obtained prior to the related Closing Date;

(b)           Payments Current.  All payments required to be made up to the related Closing Date for each Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited.  No payment required under the Mortgage Loan has been 30 or more days delinquent at any time in the 12 months preceding the related Closing Date.  The first Monthly Payment shall be made with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its Due Date, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note.  The first two Monthly Payments after the relevant Cut-off Date shall be made with respect to the Mortgage Loan within thirty (30) days of the related Due Date, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note;

Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is greater, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest;
 
(d)           Original Terms Unmodified.  The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser and which has been delivered to the Custodian.  The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by FHA or VA, as applicable, or the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule.  No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;
 
(e)           No Defenses.  The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated;
 
(f)           Hazard Insurance.  All buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of Section 4.10.  If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Flood Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of Section 4.10.  All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Company and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid.  The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.  Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development.  The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The Company has
 
 
 

 
 
 
not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor, any Subservicer or any prior originator or subservicer having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, unlawful commission, unlawful kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Company;
 
(g)           Compliance with Applicable Laws.  Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, predatory, abusive and fair lending and disclosure laws applicable to the origination and servicing of the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, any provisions relating to prepayment penalties, have been complied with, and the Company shall maintain in its possession, available for the Purchaser’s inspection, and shall deliver to the Purchaser upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements;
 
(h)           No Satisfaction of Mortgage.  The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission.  The Company has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Company waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;
 
(i)           Location and Type of Mortgaged Property.  The Mortgaged Property is a fee simple or leasehold property located in the state identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a low-rise condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development, provided, however, that any condominium project or planned unit development shall conform with the Company’s Underwriting Guidelines regarding such dwellings, and no residence or dwelling is a mobile home or a manufactured dwelling.  No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes.  None of the Mortgaged Properties are Manufactured Homes, log homes, mobile homes, geodesic domes or other unique property types;
 
(j)           Valid First or Second Lien.  The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second lien (with respect to a Second Lien Loan)on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings and improvements on the Mortgaged Property, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing.  The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:
 
(a)           with respect to a Second Lien Loan only, the lien on the first mortgage on the Mortgaged Property;
 
 

 
 
(b)           the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;
 
(c)           covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (i) referred to or to otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (ii) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and
 
(d)           other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.
 
Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second lien (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) and first priority (with respect to a First Lien Loan) or second priority (with respect to a Second Lien Loan) security interest on the property described therein and the Company has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser.  The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secured debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage;
 
With respect to any Co-op Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable first priority security interest on the related cooperative shares securing the Mortgage Note, subject only to (a) liens of the related residential cooperative housing corporation for unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the related residential cooperative housing corporation’s payments for its blanket mortgage, current and future real property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments to which like collateral is commonly subject and (b) other matters to which like collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security interest intended to be provided by the related Security Agreement;
 
(k)          Validity of Mortgage Documents.  The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms (including, without limitation, any provisions relating to prepayment penalties).  All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other related agreement, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties.  The documents, instruments and agreements submitted for loan underwriting were not falsified and contain no untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the information and statements therein not misleading.  No fraud was committed in connection with
 
 
 

 
 
the origination of the Mortgage Loan.  The Company has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein;
 
(l)           Full Disbursement of Proceeds.  The Mortgage Loan has been closed and the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with.  All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
