prior to the close of business on the mortgage loan’s first succeeding due
date. For example, if a securitization had a Closing Date occurring
in August and a cut-off date of August 1, a mortgage loan with a payment
due on
July 1 that remained unpaid as of the close of business on July 31 would
not be
described as 30 days delinquent as of the cut-off date. Such mortgage loan
with
a payment due on June 1 that remained unpaid as of the close of business
on July
31 would be described as 30 days delinquent as of the cut-off date. A mortgage
loan would be considered “60 days or more Delinquent” with respect to such
scheduled payment if such scheduled payment were not made prior to the
close of
business on the mortgage loan’s second succeeding due date (or, in the
preceding example, if the mortgage loan with a payment due on May 1 remained
unpaid as of the close of business on July 31). Similarly for “90 days or more
Delinquent” and so on. Unless otherwise specified, with respect to
