(e)                                  Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except only if the Mortgage Loan is not an eMortgage Loan, by written instruments that (a) do not affect the amount or timing of any payment of principal or interest payable with respect to such Purchased Mortgage Loan, (b) have been recorded in the applicable public recording office if required by law or if necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage and (c) have been delivered to Administrative Agent or the Custodian as required by this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, and (d) if such instrument modifies an eNote, such modification (x) does not affect the amount or timing of any payment of principal or interest payable with respect to such Purchased Mortgage Loan and (y) is reflected on the MERS® eRegistry, and the eNote and related Mortgage Loan Documents remain valid, effective and enforceable and in compliance with all applicable eCommerce Laws and Agency Guidelines; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the insurer under the private mortgage insurance policy, if any, and by the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy provided by Seller and such modification is reflected appropriately on any and all documentation or data and is true and accurate in all material respects. No other 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 insurer under the private mortgage insurance policy, if any, and by the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is a part of the Asset File, the Loan Eligibility File and/or the Servicing File, as applicable. As of the Purchase Date, the full original principal amount of each Mortgage Loan has been fully disbursed as provided for in the Mortgage Loan Documents, and there is no requirement for any future advances. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any amendment, modification, waiver, settlement or compromise with respect to a Mortgage Loan that grants or

B.                                    Clause (ff) of Exhibit B of the Amended MRA is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 

(ff)                              Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any applicable federal (including, but not limited to, the CARES Act), state or local law or regulation including usury, truth in lending, ability to repay, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, consumer privacy, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, fair debt collection practices, predatory and abusive lending laws, equal credit opportunity, fair housing and home mortgage disclosure laws or unfair, deceptive and abusive practices laws applicable to the origination and servicing of the Mortgage Loan including any provisions relating to prepayment penalties, have been complied with in all material respects and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations.
