Swap Account (a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself, as agent for the Trustee, a separate, segregated trust account titled, “U.S. Bank National Association as Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of First Franklin Mortgage Loan Trust, Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-FF7—Swap Account.” Such account shall be an Eligible Account and amounts therein shall be held uninvested.
(b) On each Distribution Date, prior to any distribution to any Certificate, the Trustee shall deposit into the Swap Account: (i) the amount of any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment (other than any Swap Termination Payment resulting from a Swap Provider Trigger Event) owed to the Swap Provider (after taking into account any upfront payment received from the counterparty to a replacement swap agreement) from funds collected and received with respect to the Mortgage Loans prior to the determination of Available Funds and (ii) amounts received by the Trustee from the Swap Administrator, for distribution in accordance with subsection (d) below, pursuant to the Swap Administration Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Swap Administration Agreement”), among U.S. Bank National Association in its capacity as Trustee, U.S. Bank National Association in its capacity as Swap Administrator and the Seller. For federal income tax purposes, any amounts paid to the Swap Provider on each Distribution Date shall first be deemed paid to the Swap Provider in respect of REMIC IV Regular Interest Swap-IO to the extent of the amount distributable on REMIC IV Regular Interest Swap-IO on such Distribution Date, and any remaining amount shall be deemed paid to the Swap Provider in respect of a Class IO Distribution Amount (as defined below).
(c) For federal income tax purposes, the Swap Account shall be owned by the majority Holder of the Class CE Certificates.
(d) The Trustee shall treat the Holders of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE and Class R Certificates) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE and Class R Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holder of the Class CE Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the REMIC III Regular Interest corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class IO Distribution Amount”). A Class IO Distribution Amount payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the excess of (a) the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Certificates over (ii) the amount of interest payable to such Certificates at a per annum rate equal to the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate, and a Class IO Distribution Amount payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the Holder of the Class CE Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts to the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates from amounts deemed received in respect of this notional principal contract shall not be payments with respect to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates) of a Class IO Distribution Amount shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Certificates in respect of their interests in REMIC IV and as having been paid by such Holders to the Swap Administrator pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class P and Class R Certificates) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of Regular Interests in REMIC IV, but also ownership of an interest in, and obligations with respect to, a notional principal contract.
Securities Contract; Swap Agreement The parties hereto intend for (i) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.
Tax Treatment of Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments For federal income tax purposes, each holder of a Floating Rate Certificate is deemed to own an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a REMIC regular interest and the right to receive payments from either the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account or the Swap Account in respect of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount or the obligation to make payments to the Swap Account. For federal income tax purposes, the Trust Administrator will account for payments to each Floating Rate Certificates as follows: each Floating Rate Certificate will be treated as receiving their entire payment from REMIC III (regardless of any Swap Termination Payment or obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) and subsequently paying their portion of any Swap Termination Payment in respect of each such Class’ obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement. In the event that any such Class is resecuritized in a REMIC, the obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement to pay any such Swap Termination Payment (or any shortfall in Swap Provider Fee), will be made by one or more of the REMIC Regular Interests issued by the resecuritization REMIC subsequent to such REMIC Regular Interest receiving its full payment from any such Floating Rate Certificate. The REMIC regular interest corresponding to a Floating Rate Certificate will be entitled to receive interest and principal payments at the times and in the amounts equal to those made on the certificate to which it corresponds, except that (i) the maximum interest rate of that REMIC regular interest will equal the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate computed for this purpose by limiting the Swap Notional Amount of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and (ii) any Swap Termination Payment will be treated as being payable solely from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow. As a result of the foregoing, the amount of distributions and taxable income on the REMIC regular interest corresponding to a Floating Rate Certificate may exceed the actual amount of distributions on the Floating Rate Certificate.
REMIC The Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including permanently affixed buildings and distinct structural components, such as wiring, plumbing systems and central heating and air-conditioning systems, that are integrated into such buildings, serve such buildings in their passive functions and do not produce or contribute to the production of income other than consideration for the use or occupancy of space, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Mortgage Loan was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.
Swap Agreement The Depositor hereby directs the Securities Administrator to execute and deliver on behalf of the Trust the Swap Agreement and authorizes the Securities Administrator to perform its obligations thereunder on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust in accordance with the terms of the Swap Agreement. The Depositor hereby authorizes and directs the Securities Administrator to ratify on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, as the Supplemental Interest Trust’s own actions, the terms agreed to by the Depositor in relation to the Swap Agreement, as reflected in the Swap Agreement, and the Securities Administrator hereby so ratifies the Swap Agreement. If based upon a notice from the valuation agent pursuant to section 4(c) of the credit support annex, the Securities Administrator determines that a delivery amount exists, then the Securities Administrator shall demand such amount pursuant to section 3(a) of the credit support annex. The Securities Administrator shall amend the Swap Agreement in accordance with its terms and as requested in writing by a party to the Swap Agreement to cure any ambiguity in or correct or supplement any provision of, the Swap Agreement; provided, however, that any such amendment will not have a material adverse effect to a Certificateholder as evidenced by a written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such amendment would not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current ratings of any outstanding Class of Certificates. The Swap Agreement shall not part of any REMIC. The Swap Provider is the calculation agent under the Swap Agreement and shall calculate all amounts pursuant to the Swap Agreement and notify the Securities Administrator of all such amounts. The Depositor hereby directs the Securities Administrator to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Swap Agreement on the Closing Date and thereafter on behalf of the Holders of the Offered Certificates and the Class M-10 and Class M-11 Certificates. The Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Holders of the Offered Certificates and the Class M-10 and Class M-11 Certificates by their acceptance of such Certificates acknowledge and agree that the Securities Administrator shall execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Swap Agreement and shall do so solely in its capacity as Securities Administrator of the Supplemental Interest Trust and not in its individual capacity. The Depositor hereby instructs the Securities Administrator to make any and all demands for Eligible Collateral (as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement) under the Swap Agreement from the Swap Provider in satisfaction of the Delivery Amount (as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement) requirement. The Depositor hereby instructs the Securities Administrator to deliver notice to the Swap Provider upon any failure of the Swap Provider to transfer the Delivery Amount (as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement) pursuant to an Approved Credit Support Document (as defined in the Swap Agreement).
Collateral Matters; Swap Agreements The benefit of the Security Instruments and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to any collateral securing the Indebtedness shall also extend to and be available to those Lenders or their Affiliates which are counterparties to any Swap Agreement with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on a pro rata basis in respect of any obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which arise under any such Swap Agreement while such Person or its Affiliate is a Lender, but only while such Person or its Affiliate is a Lender, including any Swap Agreements between such Persons in existence prior to the date hereof. No Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any such Swap Agreements.
Basis Risk Reserve Fund (a) On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates, the Basis Risk Reserve Fund. The Basis Risk Reserve Fund shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including without limitation, other moneys held by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) On the Closing Date, $5,000.00 will be deposited by the Depositor into the Basis Risk Reserve Fund. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall transfer from the Certificate Account to the Basis Risk Reserve Fund pursuant to Section 4.02(e)(ix) the Required Basis Risk Reserve Fund Deposit. Amounts on deposit in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund can be withdrawn by the Trustee in connection with any Distribution Date to fund the amounts required to be distributed to holders of the Offered Certificates pursuant to Sections 4.02(e)(ix) to the extent Monthly Excess Cashflow on such date is insufficient to make such payments. In addition, any distributions of Monthly Excess Cashflow to the holders of the Offered Certificates pursuant to Sections 4.02(e)(ix)(A)-(G) shall be deemed to have been deposited in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and paid to such holders. On any Distribution Date, any amounts on deposit in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund in excess of the Required Basis Risk Reserve Fund Amount shall be distributed to the Class X Certificateholder pursuant to Section 4.02(e)(xi).
(c) Funds in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund may be invested in Eligible Investments by the Trustee at the direction of the holders of the Class X Certificates maturing on or prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date. Any net investment earnings on such amounts shall be payable to the holders of the Class X Certificates. The Trustee shall account for the Basis Risk Reserve Fund as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury regulation 1.860G-2(h) and not an asset of any REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement. The Class X Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund for federal tax purposes and the Holders thereof shall direct the Trustee in writing as to the investment of amounts therein. The Trustee shall treat amounts transferred by the Master REMIC to the Basis Risk Reserve Fund as distributions to the Class X Certificateholder for all Federal tax purposes. In the absence of such written direction, all funds in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund shall remain uninvested. The Trustee shall have no liability for losses on investments in Eligible Investments made pursuant to this Section 4.06(c) (other than as obligor on any such investments). Upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class X Certificates in the same manner as if distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(e)(xi) hereof.
(d) On the Distribution Date immediately after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the LIBOR Certificates equals zero, any amounts on deposit in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund not payable on the LIBOR Certificates shall be deposited into the Certificate Account and distributed to the Holders of the Class X Certificates in the same manner as if distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(e)(xi) hereof.
Distributions on the REMIC Regular Interests (a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause the Available Distribution Amount, in the following order of priority, to be distributed by REMIC 1 to REMIC 2 on account of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests or withdrawn from the Certificate Account and distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-1 Interest), as the case may be:
(i) to Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest I-1-A through I-59-B, REMIC 1 Regular Interest P and REMIC 1 Regular Interest A-I, pro rata, in an amount equal to (A) Uncertificated Accrued Interest for such REMIC 1 Regular Interests for such Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts payable in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates; and
(ii) to the extent of amounts remaining after the distributions made pursuant to clause (i) above, payments of principal shall be allocated as follows: first, to REMIC 1 Regular Interests I-1-A through I-59-B starting with the lowest numerical denomination until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest is reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC 1 Regular Interests with the same numerical denomination, such payments of principal shall be allocated pro rata between such REMIC 1 Regular Interests, and second to the extent of any Overcollateralization Release to REMIC 1 Regular Interest A-I until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC 1 Regular Interest is reduced to zero.
(iii) to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest P, (A) on each Distribution Date, 100% of the amount paid in respect of Prepayment Charges and (B) on the Distribution Date immediately following the expiration of the latest Prepayment Charge as identified on the Prepayment Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date thereafter until $100 has been distributed pursuant to this clause;
(b) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause the Available Distribution Amount, in the following order of priority, to be distributed by REMIC 2 to REMIC 3 on account of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests or withdrawn from the Certificate Account and distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-2 Interest), as the case may be:
(i) first, to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest IO, in an amount equal to (A) Uncertificated Accrued Interest for such REMIC 2 Regular Interest for such Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates and second, to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest AA, REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-1M, REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-1W, REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-2A, REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-2B, REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-2C, REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-2D, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-2, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-4, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-5, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-6, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-7, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-8, REMIC 2 Regular Interest B, REMIC 2 Regular Interest ZZ, and REMIC 2 Regular Interest P, pro rata, in an amount equal to
(A) the related Uncertificated Accrued Interest for such Distribution Date, plus
(B) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from the previous Distribution Dates. Amounts payable as Uncertificated Accrued Interest in respect of REMIC 2 Regular Interest ZZ shall be reduced when the REMIC 2 Overcollateralized Amount is less than the REMIC 2 Overcollateralization Target Amount, by the lesser of (x) the amount of such difference and (y) the Maximum Uncertificated Accrued Interest Deferral Amount, and such amount will be payable to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-1M, REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-1W, REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-2A, REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-2B, REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-2C, REMIC 2 Regular Interest A-2D, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-1, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-2, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-4, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-5, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-6, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-7, REMIC 2 Regular Interest M-8, REMIC 2 Regular Interest B in the same proportion as the Overcollateralization Deficiency Amount is allocated to the Corresponding Certificates and the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 2 Regular Interest ZZ shall be increased by such amount;
(ii) to the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest P, (A) on each Distribution Date, 100% of the amount paid in respect of Prepayment Charges on the Corresponding Certificate and (B) on the Distribution Date immediately following the expiration of the latest Prepayment Charge as identified on the Prepayment Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date thereafter until $100 has been distributed pursuant to this clause;

(C) any remaining amount to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class R-2 Interest);
No Contractual Relationship Between Subservicer and Trustee or Certificateholders Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Master Servicer alone and the Trustee and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer in its capacity as such except as set forth in Section 3.06. The foregoing provision shall not in any way limit a Subservicer's obligation to cure an omission or defect or to repurchase a Mortgage Loan as referred to in Section 2.02 hereof.
Payments from Owner Trust Estate All payments to be made by the Owner Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents to which the Trust or the Owner Trustee is a party shall be made only from the income and proceeds of the Owner Trust Estate and only to the extent that the Owner Trustee shall have received income or proceeds from the Owner Trust Estate to make such payments in accordance with the terms hereof.
