Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof. On any Distribution Date after the first date on which the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the Clean-Up Call Percentage of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, the Master Servicer may purchase the outstanding Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other property included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement at the price stated in clause (i) of the preceding paragraph; provided, that the Master Servicer may not so purchase the outstanding Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other property included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement if the price stated in clause (i) of the preceding paragraph exceeds the fair market value, determined in accordance with prudent industry practices, of all outstanding Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other property included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement. If such right is exercised, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee (and to the Company, if the Company is no longer acting as Master Servicer) the written certification of an officer of the Master Servicer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts required to be paid in order to purchase the Mortgage Loans have been deposited in the Certificate Account) and the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall promptly execute all instruments as may be necessary to release and assign to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Files and any foreclosed Mortgaged Property pertaining to the Trust. In no event shall the Master Servicer be required to expend any amounts other than those described in the first paragraph of this Section 9.01(a) in order to terminate the Trust or purchase the Mortgage Loans under this Section 9.01, and in no event shall the Company be required to expend any amounts in connection with such termination or purchase.

Upon any such notice, the Certificate Account shall terminate subject to the Master Servicer’s obligation to hold all amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment. In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the Termination Date, the Master Servicer shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the Termination Payment with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Master Servicer may take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain in trust hereunder. Upon the completion of winding up of the Trust, including the payment or the making reasonable provision for payment of all obligations of the Trust in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Statutory Trust Statute, the Delaware Trustee shall prepare, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and any other trustee hereunder shall sign, and the Delaware Trustee (upon the Trustee’s consent acting at the direction of the Master Servicer) shall file, a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State in accordance with Section 3810 of the Statutory Trust Statute, at which time the Trust and this Agreement shall terminate.

Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof. The right of the Seller to purchase all the assets of the Trust Estate pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph are subject to Section 9.02 and conditioned upon the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Final Distribution Date being less than the amount set forth in Section 11.22. In the case of any purchase by the Seller pursuant to said clause (i), the Seller shall provide to the Trustee the certification required by Section 3.04 and the Trustee and the Custodian shall, promptly following payment of the purchase price, release to the Seller the Owner Mortgage Loan Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans being purchased. Notice of any termination, specifying the Final Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer (if it is exercising its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Estate) or by the Trustee (in any other case) by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th day of the month preceding the month of such final distribution and not later than the twentieth day of the month of such final distribution specifying (A) the Final Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein designated, (B) the amount of any such final payment and (C) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made (except in the case of any Class A Certificate surrendered on a prior Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01) only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. If the Master Servicer is obligated to give notice to Certificateholders as aforesaid, it shall give such notice to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Certificate Account on or before the Final Distribution Date in immediately available funds an amount equal to the purchase price for the assets of the Trust Estate computed as above provided. Failure to give notice of termination as described herein shall not entitle a Certificateholder to any interest beyond the interest payable on the Final Distribution Date. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders on the Final Distribution Date in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests an amount equal to (i) as to the Classes of Class A Certificates, the respective Principal Balance together with any related Class A Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's interest in an amount equal to the respective Interest Accrual Amount, (ii) as to the Classes of Class B Certificates, the respective Principal Balance together with any related Class B Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's interest in an amount equal to the respective Interest Accrual Amount and (iii) as to the Class A-R Certificate, the amounts, if any, which remain on deposit in the Certificate Account (other than amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above and payment to the Master Servicer of any amounts it is entitled as reimbursement or otherwise hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the price paid pursuant to clause (i) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01, after reimbursement to the Servicers, the Master Servicer and the Trustee of any Periodic Advances, is insufficient to pay in full the amounts set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph, then any shortfall in the amount available for distribution to Certificateholders shall be allocated in reduction of the amounts otherwise distributable on the Final Distribution Date in the same manner as Realized Losses are allocated pursuant to Sections 4.02(b) and 4.02(g) hereof. Such distribution on the Final Distribution Date shall be in lieu of the distribution otherwise required to be made on such Distribution Date in respect of each Class of Certificates. In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for final payment and cancellation within three months following the Final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall on such date cause all funds, if any, in the Certificate Account not distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Master Servicer (if it exercised its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Estate) or the Trustee (in any other case) shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within three months after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds on deposit in such escrow account.
