Item 8.01. Other Events.
The Seller has determined that two of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Sale and Servicing Agreement (defined below) are inaccurate. This resulted from the manner in which it disclosed certain fee information on approximately 50% (by balance) of the Mortgage Loans to the obligors on those Mortgage Loans at the time of their origination which was not in technical compliance with the requirements of certain laws and regulations applicable to the origination of those Mortgage Loans. As required by the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of March 1, 2004 among First Tennessee Bank National Association, as Seller, First Horizon Asset Securities, Inc., as Depositor, First Horizon ABS Trust 2004- HE-1, the Trust, First Tennessee Bank National Association, as Servicer and The Bank of New York, as Indenture Trustee (the “Sale and S ervicing Agreement”), the Seller has given notice under § 2.04 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Seller intends to cure in all material respects any breach of a representation or warranty within 90 days following the date hereof or if such cure cannot be accomplished prior to the end of such 90 day period, to substitute an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan for each affected Mortgage Loan. While the Seller intends to cure in all material respects any such breach of representation or warranty or substitute an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan for each affected Mortgage Loan, the Sale and Servicing Agreement requires that if neither of those remedies is effected within such 90 day period, the Seller must repurchase such affected Mortgage Loan in the month following the end of such 90 day period. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein are used with the definitions thereof in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
