2.01(iii) and (iv) above and in connection therewith, the Trustee shall enforce
the obligation of the Originator pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement to execute each original Assignment in the following form:
"U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee under the applicable agreement." In
the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a
defect therein, the Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the Originator
pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to promptly prepare or cause to
be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as
the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.
In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan
registered on the MERS(R) System, the Depositor further agrees that it will
cause, within 30 Business Days after the Closing Date, the MERS(R) System to
indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Depositor to the
Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the
Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans
which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files
(a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee and (b) the code
in the field "Pool Field" which identifies the series of the Certificates issued
in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Depositor further agrees that it
will not, and will not permit the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer
agrees that it will not, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with
respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement.
If any of the documents referred to in Sections 2.01(ii),
(iii) or (iv) has, as of the Closing Date, been submitted for recording but
either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or
(y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of
such document, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall
be deemed to be
-58-
satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Custodian of a copy of each such document
certified by the Originator in the case of (x) above or the applicable public
recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy of the
original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is certified by
the Originator, delivery to the Custodian promptly upon receipt thereof of
either the original or a copy of such document certified by the applicable
public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original. Pursuant
to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, notice shall be provided to the Trust
Administrator and the Rating Agencies by the Originator if delivery pursuant to
clause (2) above will be made more than 180 days after the Closing Date.
If the original lender's title insurance policy was not
delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(vi) above, the Depositor shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Custodian, promptly after receipt thereof, the
original lender's title insurance policy. The Depositor shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Custodian promptly upon receipt thereof any other
original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect
to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents
evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.
All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are
not delivered to the Custodian are and shall be held by or on behalf of the
Originator, the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer, as
the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. In the event that any such original document is required
pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.01 to be a part of a Mortgage File, such
document shall be delivered promptly to the Custodian. Any such original
document delivered to or held by the Depositor that is not required pursuant to
the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, shall be delivered
promptly to the Servicer.
The Depositor and the Trustee hereto understand and agree that
it is not intended that any Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust that is a
"High-Cost Home Loan" as defined by the Homeownership and Equity Protection Act
of 1994 or any other applicable predatory or abusive lending laws.
SECTION 2.02. Acceptance of REMIC I by Trustee.
The Trust Administrator (in its capacity as Custodian)
acknowledges receipt, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to
any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph
below, the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than such documents
described in Section 2.01(v)) above and all other assets included in the
definition of "REMIC I" under clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) (to the extent of
amounts deposited into the Distribution Account) and declares that it holds and
will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a
Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other
assets included in the definition of "REMIC I" in trust for the exclusive use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The Trust Administrator (in its capacity as Custodian) agrees
to execute and deliver to the Depositor and the NIMS Insurer on or prior to the
Closing Date an acknowledgment of receipt of the original Mortgage Note (with
any exceptions noted), substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-3 hereto.
-59-
The Trust Administrator (in its capacity as Custodian) agrees,
for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer, to review each
Mortgage File and, within 45 days of the Closing Date and to certify in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 that, as to each Mortgage
Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in
full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report
annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents
constituting part of such Mortgage File (other than such documents described in
Section 2.01(v)) required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are
in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear
regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its
examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (1), (3), (12), (15) and (18)
of the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" accurately reflects information
set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting
such review, the Trust Administrator (in its capacity as Custodian) is under no
duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such documents,
instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they are genuine,
enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or whether they have
actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on
their face or (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of
the documents specified in clause (v) of Section 2.01.
Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement the
Trust Administrator (in its capacity as Custodian) shall deliver to the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee and the Master Servicer a final
certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2 evidencing the
completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon.
If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making
or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the
Trust Administrator (in its capacity as Custodian) finds any document or
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in
any material respect, at the conclusion of its review the Trust Administrator
(in its capacity as Custodian) shall so notify the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer,
the Trustee, the Servicer and the Master Servicer. In addition, upon the
discovery by the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Servicer, the Master Servicer
or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by
the Originator or the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect
of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or
the interests of the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
The Trust Administrator (in its capacity as Custodian) shall,
at the written request and expense of any Certificateholder, provide a written
report to such Certificateholder of all Mortgage Files released to the Servicer
for servicing purposes.
The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and
transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the
related Mortgage Notes and the related documents, conveying good title thereto
free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee
in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and that such property not be
part of the Depositor's estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any
insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be,
or to be made as security for, a loan,
-60-
the parties intend that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted and does
hereby grant to the Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in all
of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, the
related Mortgage Notes and the related documents, and that this Agreement shall
constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
SECTION 2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by
the Originator or the Seller.
(a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of
the breach by the Originator or the Seller of any representation, warranty or
covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (including any
representation, warranty or covenant regarding the Prepayment Charge Schedule)
in respect of any Mortgage Loan that materially adversely affects the value of
such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trust
Administrator shall promptly notify the Originator, the NIMS Insurer, the
Seller, the Servicer and the Master Servicer of such defect, missing document or
breach and request that the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, deliver
such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date
the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, was notified of such missing
document, defect or breach, and if the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all
material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations
of the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price
within 90 days after the date on which the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, was notified (subject to Section 2.03(c)) of such missing document,
defect or breach, if and to the extent that the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, is obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be remitted to the
Master Servicer for deposit into the Distribution Account and the Trust
Administrator (in its capacity as Custodian), upon receipt of written notice
from the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall furnish to it
and as shall be necessary to vest in the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. In furtherance of the
foregoing, if the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, is not a member of
MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is registered on the MERS(R) System,
the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, at its own expense and without any
right of reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of
the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, and shall cause such Mortgage to be
removed from registration on the MERS(R) System in accordance with MERS' rules
and regulations. The Trust Administrator shall not have any further
responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any
such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, may cause such
Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall become a
Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(b);
provided, however, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, may not
substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for any Deleted Mortgage Loan
that violates any predatory or abusive lending law. It is understood and agreed
that the obligation of the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, to cure or
to repurchase (or to substitute for)
-61-
any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a
constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is
continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such omission, defect or
breach available to the Trustee and the Certificateholders.
(b) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected
prior to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.
As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Originator or
the Seller, as applicable, substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, delivering to the Custodian, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment in blank or to
the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary
endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with an
Officers' Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment
Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The
Trust Administrator (in its capacity as Custodian) shall acknowledge receipt for
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days
thereafter, review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to
the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Servicer and the Master Servicer, with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the Trust
Administrator (in its capacity as Custodian) shall deliver to the Depositor, the
NIMS Insurer, the Servicer and the Master Servicer a certification substantially
in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto with respect to such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly
Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of
substitution are not part of REMIC I and will be retained by the Originator or
the Seller, as applicable. For the month of substitution, distributions to
Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage
Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Originator
or the Seller, as applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts
subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor
shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders and the
NIMS Insurer that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage
Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the
terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan
Schedule to the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the NIMS Insurer.
Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall
constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the
terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, all
applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement.
For any month in which the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one
or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will monitor the obligation
of the Servicer, to the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement, to determine
the amount (the "Substitution Adjustment Amount"), if any, by which the
aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the
aggregate of, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Stated
Principal Balance thereof as of the date of
-62-
substitution, together with one month's interest on such Stated Principal
Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, plus all outstanding Advances and
Servicing Advances (including Nonrecoverable Advances and Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advances) related thereto. If the Servicing Agreement does not require
the Servicer to determine the Substitution Adjustment Amount, the Master
Servicer, based on information provided to it by the Servicer, shall determine
the Substitution Adjustment Amount. Upon receipt of the Servicer's determination
of the Substitution Adjustment Amount or upon determination by the Master
Servicer of the Substitution Adjustment Amount, the Master Servicer shall give
prompt written notice thereof to the Trust Administrator. On the date of such
substitution, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, will deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Distribution Account
an amount equal to the Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and the Trust
Administrator (in its capacity as Custodian), upon receipt of the related
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and written notice by the Master
Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall deliver to it and
as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto.
In addition, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and the NIMS Insurer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any Trust
REMIC, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited
transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after
the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
(c) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the
Originator, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact
shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties
hereto and the Trustee shall give written notice to the Originator and the
Seller. In connection therewith, the Originator, the Seller or the Depositor
shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(b),
substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected
Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such
notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or
substitution shall be made by (i) the Originator or the Seller, as the case may
be, if the affected Mortgage Loan's status as a non-qualified mortgage is or
results from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the
Originator or the Seller, as the case may be, under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, or (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan's status as a
non-qualified mortgage is a breach of no representation or warranty. Any such
repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in
Section 2.03(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor, the Originator or
the Seller, as the case may be, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto
in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage
Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the
obligation of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement and shall have full power
and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable
in connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its
obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with
Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall
oversee and consult with the Servicer as necessary from time-to-time to carry
out the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and
evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer
by the Servicer and shall cause the Servicer to perform and observe the
covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by the
Servicer under the Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently
monitor the Servicer's servicing activities with respect to each Mortgage Loan,
reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the
previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to
the Servicer's and Master Servicer's records, and based on such reconciled and
corrected information, the Master Servicer shall provide such information to the
Trust Administrator as shall be necessary in order for it to prepare the
statements specified in Section 4.02, and prepare any other information and
statements required to be forwarded by the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master
Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the
actual remittances of the Servicer to the Custodial Account pursuant to the
Servicing Agreement.
The Trustee shall furnish the Servicer and the Master Servicer
with any powers of attorney and other documents in form as provided to it
necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer and the Master Servicer to
service and administer the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall provide access
to the records and documentation in possession of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, regarding the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
and the servicing thereof to the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the
supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only
upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the
office of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable; provided,
however, that, unless otherwise required by law, neither the Trustee nor the
Trust Administrator shall be required to provide access to such records and
documentation if the provision thereof would violate the legal right to privacy
of any Mortgagor. The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall allow
representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and
documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that
covers the Trustee's or Trust Administrator's, as applicable, actual costs.

enforce any other rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage

SECTION 3.03. Monitoring of Servicer.
(a) The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor the compliance by the
Servicer with its duties under the Servicing Agreement. In the review of the
Servicer's activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officer's
certificate of the Servicer (or similar document signed by a Servicing Officer
of the Servicer) with regard to the Servicer's compliance with the terms of the
Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment,
determines that the Servicer should be terminated in accordance with the
Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to the Servicing
Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would
constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the
Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee thereof and the Master
Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems
appropriate.
(b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and
the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of the Servicer under the
Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that the Servicer fails to perform
its obligations in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, subject to the
preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer
thereunder and act as Servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or cause the
Trustee to enter into a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer
selected by the Master Servicer; provided, however, it is understood and
acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition
(not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully
transferred to such successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including, without
limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of the Servicing
Agreement and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form
and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in
its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related
Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at
its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to
prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master
Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in
pursuing such action.
(c) To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master
Servicer related to any termination of the Servicer, appointment of a successor
Servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with
respect to any Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal
costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an
evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an event
of default by the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement and (ii) all costs and
expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all
servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or
manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor Servicer
to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to
enable the successor
-68-
Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Servicing
Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses
from the Distribution Account.
(d) The Master Servicer shall require the Servicer to comply
with the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the
Servicing Agreement.
(e) If the Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not
assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any,
that it replaces.
SECTION 3.04. Fidelity Bond.
The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect
a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording
coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons
acting on such Master Servicer's behalf, and covering errors and omissions in
the performance of the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder. The errors and
omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and
amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or
trustees.
SECTION 3.05. Power to Act; Procedures.
The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans
and shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the
provisions of Article X hereof, to do any and all things that it may deem
necessary or desirable in connection with the master servicing and
administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and
authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and
the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents,
(ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the
Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds
and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion
of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each
case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related
Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under Article X, shall not
permit any Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail to
take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and
the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC
Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, would cause the Trust
REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon
the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions
as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a
REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Master Servicer has
received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer)
to the effect that the contemplated action would not cause any REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC. The
Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer or any Servicer, upon written request
from a Servicing Officer, with any powers of attorney empowering the Master
Servicer or any Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon
or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in
any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in
accordance with the Servicing
-69-
Agreement and this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such
other documents, as the Master Servicer may request, to enable the Master
Servicer to master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its
duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing
Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers
of attorney by the Master Servicer or any Servicer). If the Master Servicer or
the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in
which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the
Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the "doing
business" or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the
Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee
pursuant to Section 8.10 hereof. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the
Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in
those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee, be deemed
to be the agent of the Trustee.
SECTION 3.06. Due on Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
To the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement, to the
extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master
Servicer shall cause the Servicer to enforce such clauses in accordance with the
Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a
due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with
the Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the
original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with the
Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 3.07. Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage
Loan, or the receipt by any Servicer of a notification that payment in full has
been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to
Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the Servicer will, if required
under the Servicing Agreement (or if the Servicer does not, the Master Servicer
may), promptly furnish to the Trust Administrator (in its capacity as
Custodian), two copies of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit E
hereto signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable electronic
format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a
Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect
that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to
be deposited in the Custodial Account maintained by the Servicer pursuant to the
Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited) and shall request that
the Custodian deliver to the Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of
such certification and request, the Trust Administrator (in its capacity as
Custodian) shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer and
the Trust Administrator shall have no further responsibility with regard to such
Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the Servicer is authorized, to
give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured
the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage
without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage,
which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be
delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of
such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in
connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may
be, shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.
-70-
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with the Servicing Agreement,
the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to
the Trustee by the Servicer or the Master Servicer (in form reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such
proceedings. The Trust Administrator (in its capacity as Custodian) shall, upon
the request of the Servicer or the Master Servicer, and delivery to the Trust
Administrator (in its capacity as Custodian) of two copies of a request for
release signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit E (or
in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on
its face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release the related Mortgage File
held in its possession or control to the Servicer or the Master Servicer, as
applicable. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Servicer or the Master
Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Custodian when the need therefor by
the Servicer or the Master Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan
shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing
Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be
released by the Trust Administrator (in its capacity as Custodian) to the
Servicer or the Master Servicer.
SECTION 3.08. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of
Master Servicer to be Held for Trust
Administrator.
(a) The Master Servicer and the Servicer (to the extent
required by the Servicing Agreement) shall transmit to the Trust Administrator
(in its capacity as Custodian) such documents and instruments coming into the
possession of the Master Servicer or the Servicer from time to time as are
required by the terms hereof, or in the case of the Servicer, the Servicing
Agreement, to be delivered to the Custodian. Any funds received by the Master
Servicer or by the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise
are collected by the Master Servicer or by the Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds
or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the
benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders subject to the Master
Servicer's right to retain or withdraw from the Distribution Account the Master
Servicing Compensation and other amounts provided in this Agreement, and to the
right of the Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and other amounts as provided
in the Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, and (to the extent
provided in the Servicing Agreement) shall cause the Servicer to, provide access
to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trust
Administrator, its agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request
and during normal business hours, and to Certificateholders that are savings and
loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift
Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office
and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the Office of
Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded
without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal
business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In
fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for
determining the sufficiency of such information.
(b) All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or
under the control of, the Master Servicer or the Servicer, in respect of any
Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments
or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master
Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and shall
be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer
-71-
and the Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such
funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or
the Servicer under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
SECTION 3.09. Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance
Policies.
(a) For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce
any obligation of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement to maintain or
cause to be maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and, where
applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of the
Servicing Agreements. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall be
with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in the Servicing
Agreement and that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required
of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on property acquired in respect of a
defaulted loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as
shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.
(b) Pursuant to Section 3.19 and Section 3.20, any amounts
collected by the Master Servicer under any insurance policies (other than
amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to
the related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the
Servicing Agreement) shall be deposited into the Distribution Account, subject
to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.20 and Section 3.21. Any cost incurred by
the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance if the Mortgagor defaults
in its obligation to do so shall be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage
Loan where the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit; provided, however, that the
addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of
calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders and shall be
recoverable by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.20 and Section 3.21.
SECTION 3.10. Presentment of Claims and Collection of
Proceeds.
The Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer (to the extent
provided in the Servicing Agreement) to, prepare and present on behalf of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under the insurance policies and
take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or
enforcement of the insured's claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery
under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed
to the Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such
policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the Distribution
Account upon receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to
the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition
precedent to the presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the
insurer under any applicable insurance policy need not be so deposited (or
remitted).
SECTION 3.11 [Reserved].
SECTION 3.12. Custodian to Retain Possession of Certain
Insurance Policies and Documents.
Until all amounts distributable in respect of the Certificates
have been distributed in full and the Master Servicer otherwise has fulfilled
its obligations under this Agreement, the Trust
-72-
Administrator (in its capacity as Custodian) shall retain possession and custody
of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Custodian such other documents or instruments that constitute
portions of the Mortgage File that come into the possession of the Master
Servicer from time to time.
SECTION 3.13. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

required under the Servicing Agreement) to foreclose upon, repossess or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing such

satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, all
in accordance with the Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 3.14. Compensation for the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer will be entitled to all income and gain

Section 3.20 and Section 3.21, for the performance of its activities hereunder

assumption fees, if any, late payment charges, as collected, if any, or
otherwise shall be retained by the Servicer in accordance with the Servicing

Property in respect of any related Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of
sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the related
Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall, to the extent provided in the
Servicing Agreement, cause the Servicer to sell, any REO Property as
expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. Pursuant to such efforts
to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer to
protect and conserve such REO Property (and to conduct any activities relating
to the operation or management of such REO Property) in the manner and to the
extent required by the Servicing Agreement, in accordance with the REMIC
Provisions and in a manner that does not result in a tax on "net income from
foreclosure property" or cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.
(b) The Master Servicer shall, to the extent required by the
Servicing Agreement, cause the Servicer to deposit all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in the Custodial

to final disposition, out of any net rental income or other net amounts derived
from such REO Property.
(d) To the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement, the
Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO Property, net of any

to the best of such Servicing Officer's knowledge, based on such review, the
Master Servicer has performed and fulfilled its duties, responsibilities and
obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such year,
or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such duties,
responsibilities or obligations, specifying each such default known to such
Servicing Officer and the nature and status thereof, (iii) nothing has come to
the attention of such Servicing Officer to lead such Servicing Officer to
believe that the Servicer has failed to perform any of its duties,

in compliance with this Agreement, or that such examination has disclosed no
material items of noncompliance except for (i) such exceptions as such firm
believes to be immaterial, (ii) such other exceptions as are set forth in such
statement and (iii)

(D) to the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine
Certificates, any related unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount (after
taking into account distributions pursuant to (A), (B) and (C) above),
distributed in the following order of priority:
(i) to the Class A Certificates, on a PRO RATA basis
based on the remaining Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount for each
such Class;
(ii) to the Class M-1 Certificates;
(iii) to the Class M-2 Certificates;
(iv) to the Class M-3 Certificates;
(v) to the Class M-4 Certificates;
(vi) to the Class M-5 Certificates;

On each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall
withdraw any amounts then on deposit in the Distribution Account that represent
Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer
in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans, and
shall distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class P Certificates. Such
distributions shall not be applied to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance
of the Class P Certificates.
Following the foregoing distributions, an amount equal to the
amount of Subsequent Recoveries remitted to the Master Servicer shall be applied
to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with
the Highest Priority up to the extent of such Realized Losses previously
allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04. An amount
equal to the amount of any remaining Subsequent Recoveries shall be applied to
increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the
next Highest Priority, up to the amount of such Realized Losses previously
allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04. Holders of
such Certificates will not be entitled to any distribution in respect of
interest on the amount of such increases for any Accrual Period preceding the
Distribution Date on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be
applied to the Certificate Principal Balance of each Certificate of such Class
in accordance with its respective Percentage Interest.
(c) All distributions made with respect to each Class of
Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated PRO RATA among the
outstanding Certificates in such Class based
-91-
on their respective Percentage Interests. Distributions in respect of each Class
of Certificates on each Distribution Date will be made to the Holders of the
respective Class of record on the related Record Date (except as otherwise
provided in Section 4.01(e) or Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on
such Class), based on the aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their
respective Certificates, and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the account of any such Holder at a bank or other entity
having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified
the Trust Administrator in writing at least five Business Days prior to the
Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered
owner of Certificates having an initial aggregate Certificate Principal Balance
or Notional Amount that is in excess of the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii)
two-thirds of the initial Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount of
such Class of Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to
the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final
distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trust Administrator or such other location specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate
shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be
responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its
Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to
the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating firm") for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall have any
responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or
applicable law.
(d) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive
distributions in respect of the Certificates, and all interests of the
Certificateholders in such distributions, shall be as set forth in this
Agreement. None of the Holders of any Class of Certificates, the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator or the Master Servicer shall in any way be responsible or
liable to the Holders of any other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts
properly previously distributed on the Certificates.
(e) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the
Trust Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to any
Class of Certificates will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trust
Administrator shall, no later than three (3) days before the related
Distribution Date, mail to each Holder on such date of such Class of
Certificates a notice to the effect that:
(i) the Trust Administrator expects that the final
distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on
such Distribution Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such
Certificates at the office of the Trust Administrator therein
specified, and
(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and
after the end of the related Accrual Period.
-92-
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of
Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of
such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held in trust by the Trust Administrator and credited to the account
of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to
which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(e) shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such
notice, the Trust Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If
within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall, directly or
through an agent, mail a final notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates but shall continue
to hold any remaining funds for the benefit of non-tendering Certificateholders.
The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such
Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in the Trust Fund.
If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall pay to UBS
Securities LLC all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering
Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest
shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust
by the Trust Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to
surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this
Section 4.01(e). Any such amounts held in trust by the Trust Administrator shall
be held in an Eligible Account and the Trust Administrator may direct any
depository institution maintaining such account to invest the funds in one or
more Permitted Investments. All income and gain realized from the investment of
funds deposited in such accounts held in trust by the Trust Administrator shall
be for the benefit of the Trust Administrator; provided, however, that the Trust
Administrator shall deposit in such account the amount of any loss of principal
incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such
accounts immediately upon the realization of such loss.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no
event shall the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class A Certificate or a
Mezzanine Certificate be reduced more than once in respect of any particular
amount both (a) allocated to such Certificate in respect of Realized Losses
pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b) distributed to the Holder of such Certificate
in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof pursuant to this
Section 4.01 from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow and (ii) in no event shall the
Uncertificated Balance of a REMIC I Regular Interest be reduced more than once
in respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated to such REMIC I Regular
Interest in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b)
distributed on such REMIC I Regular Interest in reduction of the Uncertificated
Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 4.01.

parties and the Trust Administrator shall provide timely and adequate
notification to all above parties regarding any such changes. As a condition to
access the Trust Administrator's internet website, the Trust Administrator may
require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer. The Trust Administrator
will not be liable for the dissemination of information in accordance with this
Agreement. The Trust Administrator shall also be entitled to rely on but shall
not be responsible for the content or accuracy of any information provided by
third parties for purposes of preparing the distribution date statement and may
affix thereto any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion
(without suggesting liability on the part of any other party thereto).
In the case of information furnished pursuant to subclauses
(i) and (ii) above, the amounts shall be expressed as a dollar amount per Single
Certificate of the relevant Class.
Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each
calendar year, the Trust Administrator shall, upon written request, forward to
each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Regular
Certificate and the NIMS Insurer a statement containing the information set
forth in subclauses (i) and (ii) above, aggregated for such calendar year or

Such obligation of the Trust Administrator shall be deemed to have been

SECTION 4.03. Remittance Reports; Advances.
(a) In the event the Servicer fails to make any Advance
required to be made by it under the Servicing Agreement and such failure is not
remedied within the applicable cure period under the Servicing Agreement, then
the Master Servicer shall on behalf of the Trustee immediately terminate the
Servicer, and the Master Servicer (in its capacity as successor Servicer) or
another successor Servicer shall be required to make such Advance on the
Distribution Date with respect to which the Servicer was required to make such
Advance, subject to the Master Servicer's (or other successor Servicer's)
determination of recoverability. The Master Servicer (or other successor
Servicer) shall not be required to make any Advance to cover any Relief Act
Interest Shortfall on any Mortgage Loan. If the Master Servicer (or other
successor Servicer) is required to make any Advances, such advances may be made
by it (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the Custodial Account or Distribution
Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution (in which
case, it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of Custodial
Account or Distribution Account, as applicable, that amounts held for future
distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.03, used by the Master
Servicer (or other successor Servicer) in discharge of any such Advance) or
(iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total
amount of Advances to be made by the Master Servicer (or other successor
Servicer) with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Any amounts
held for future distribution and so used shall be appropriately reflected in the
Master Servicer's (or other successor Servicer's) records and replaced by the
Master Servicer (or other successor Servicer) by deposit in the Custodial
Account or the Distribution Account, as applicable, on or before any future
Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Funds for the related
Distribution Date (determined without regard to Advances to be made on such
Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be
distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 on
such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had not
been so used to make Advances.
(b) The obligation of the Master Servicer (or other successor
Servicer) to make such Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement but subject to Section 4.03(a) above and Section
4.03(c) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall
continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the
removal thereof from REMIC I pursuant to any applicable provision of this
Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Master Servicer (or other
successor Servicer) if such P&I Advance would, if made, be deemed by the Master
Servicer (or other successor Servicer) to be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The
determination by the Master Servicer (or other successor Servicer) that it has
made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance, if made, would
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers'
Certificate of the Master Servicer (or other successor Servicer) delivered to
the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee.
-97-
SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses.
(a) Prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall
determine, based on information provided to it by the Servicer, as to each
Mortgage Loan and REO Property: (i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any,
incurred in connection with any Final Recovery Determinations made during the
related Prepayment Period; and (ii) the respective portions of such Realized
Losses allocable to interest and allocable to principal. Prior to each
Distribution Date, the Master Servicer, based on information provided to it by
the Servicer, shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (i) the total
amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient
Valuations made during the related Prepayment Period; and (ii) the total amount
of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions
in respect of Monthly Payments due during the related Due Period.
(b) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated by the Trust Administrator on each Distribution Date as follows:
first, to Net Monthly Excess Cashflow; second, to the Class CE Certificates,
until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; third,
to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-6 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the
Class M-5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Class M-3
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero; eighth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and ninth, to the Class M-1
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero. All Realized Losses to be allocated to the Certificate Principal
Balances of all Classes on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the
actual distributions to be made on such date as provided above. All references
above to the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates shall be
to the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class immediately prior to the
relevant Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses, in
each case to be allocated to such Class of Certificates, on such Distribution
Date.
Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate
on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof by the amount so allocated; any allocation of Realized Losses to
a Class CE Certificate shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in
respect thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(4)(xviii). No allocations of any
Realized Losses shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class
A Certificates or the Class P Certificates.
As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a "PRO
RATA basis" among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an
allocation on a PRO RATA basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each
such Class of Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate
Principal Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such
Distribution Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class
of Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class
in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.
-98-
(c)(i) The REMIC I Marker Percentage of all Realized Losses on
the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trust Administrator on each
Distribution Date to the following REMIC I Regular Interests in the specified
percentages, as follows: first, to Uncertificated Interest payable to the REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ up to an aggregate
amount equal to the REMIC I Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%,
respectively; second, to the Uncertificated Balances of the REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTAA and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount
equal to the REMIC I Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively;
third, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTM7 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM7 has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM6 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balances
of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM6 has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM5 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM5 has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM4 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance
of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM4 has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM3 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM3 has been reduced to zero; eighth to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM2 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance
of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM2 has been reduced to zero; and ninth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM1 and REMIC I Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM1 has been reduced to zero.
(ii) The REMIC I Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of all Realized
Losses shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each
Distribution Date first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Balance of each REMIC
I Regular Interest ending with the designation "GRP" equal to 0.01% of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan
Group; second, to each REMIC I Regular Interest ending with the designation
"SUB," so that the Uncertificated Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest
is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group over (y) the Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class A Certificate in the related Loan Group (except that if any
such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the
least amount of Realized Losses shall be applied to such REMIC I Regular
Interests such that the REMIC I Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and
third, any remaining Realized Losses shall be allocated to REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTXX.
-99-
SECTION 4.05. Compliance with Withholding Requirements
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Trust Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements
respecting payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount
that the Trust Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code.
The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In
the event the Trust Administrator does withhold any amount from interest or
original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder
pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trust Administrator shall
indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholders.
SECTION 4.06. Exchange Commission; Additional Information.
(a) With respect to each Distribution Date, prior to the
issuance of the related monthly statement to Certificateholders pursuant to
Section 4.02 (each, a "Distribution Date Statement"), the Master Servicer shall
confirm that it has received all distribution and servicing information required
to be provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicer for inclusion in such
Distribution Date Statement. In the event the Master Servicer determines that
any such information has not been provided as required or is materially
incorrect, the Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Servicer and use its
reasonable best efforts to cause the Servicer to provide or correct, as the case
may be, such information promptly (but in any event in time to permit the Master
Servicer to distribute the Distribution Date Statement at the time required in
this Agreement).
(b) Promptly upon receipt by the Master Servicer of (i) any
Officers' Certificate relating to the Servicer's annual compliance with the
terms of the Servicing Agreement, (ii) any report of the Servicer's independent
public accountants relating to the Servicer's compliance with servicing
standards, as required under the Servicing Agreement, and (iii) any report of
the Master Servicer's independent public accountants required pursuant to
Section 3.17, the Master Servicer shall review such Officers' Certificate and
reports. As part of the Form 10-K required to be filed pursuant to paragraph (c)
of this Section 4.06, the Master Servicer shall include the Servicer's annual
statement of compliance (as well as any annual statement of compliance required
pursuant to Section 3.16), and each such accountant's report, as well as a
report of any significant deficiencies relating to the Servicer's performance of
its obligations under the Servicing Agreement.
(c) The Master Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the
Depositor to enable the Trust Fund to satisfy its reporting requirements under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Master
Servicer shall prepare on behalf of the Trust Fund any Forms 8-K and 10-K
customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Master Servicer shall sign and
file (via the Securities and Exchange Commission's Electronic Data Gathering and
Retrieval System) such forms on behalf of the Trust Fund.
(d) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Master Servicer within
15 days after each Distribution Date, and shall include a copy of the
Distribution Date Statement for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto.
Prior to March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), the Master
Servicer shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or
applicable Securities and
-100-
Exchange Commission staff's interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall include as
exhibits the annual statements of compliance, the accountant's reports and any
report of significant deficiencies relating to the Servicer's performance of its
obligations under the Servicing Agreement described in paragraph (b) of this
Section 4.06, in each case to the extent they have been timely delivered to the
Master Servicer. If they are not so timely delivered, the Master Servicer shall
file an amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably
promptly after they are delivered to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer
shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file
such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Master Servicer's
inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Each Form 10-K shall also include a
certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J or in such other form as
may be required by Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Exchange Act, as
applicable, and any directives or interpretations thereof by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Certification"), which Certification shall be signed
by a Master Servicing Officer.
(e) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy
of any such executed report, statement or information.
(f) Prior to January 30th of the first year in which the
Master Servicer is able to do so under applicable law, the Master Servicer shall

SECTION 4.07. Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
No later than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall
establish and maintain with itself a separate, segregated trust account titled,
"Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. as Trust Administrator, in trust for the registered
holders of MASTR Asset Backed Securities Trust 2004- WMC1, Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2004-WMC1--Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account." Amounts
deposited in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will include any
payments received by the Trust Administrator under the Cap Contracts and
deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates and/or the Mezzanine
Certificates, the Trust Administrator has been directed by the Class CE
Certificateholders to, and therefore will, deposit into the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described in Section 4.01(a)(4)(xvii),
rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. On
each such Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall hold all such amounts
for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine
Certificates, and will distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class A
Certificates and/or the Mezzanine Certificates in the amounts and priorities set
forth in Section 4.01(d).
For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE
Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account and all amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC II to the
Holders of the Class CE Interest and by REMIC III to the Holders of the Class
-101-
CE Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or the payment in full
of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, all amounts
remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be
released by the Trust Fund and distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders or
their designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be part of the
Trust Fund but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the
Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amounts will not be payments with respect to a "regular interest" in a REMIC
within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).
By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE
Certificateholder hereby agrees to direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is
directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts
described above on each Distribution Date as to which there is any Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE
Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE
Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by
such acceptance.
At the direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage
Interest in the Class CE Certificates, the Trust Administrator shall direct any
depository institution maintaining the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account to
invest the funds in such account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing
interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no
later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds
are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a
Person other than the Trust Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises
such investment, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are
required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the
Trust Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment. If no
investment direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the
Class CE Certificates with respect to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
is received by the Trust Administrator, the Trust Administrator shall invest the
funds in such account in Permitted Investments managed by the Trust
Administrator or an Affiliate of the kind described in clause (vi) of the
definition of Permitted Investments. All income and gain earned upon such
investment shall be deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
For federal tax return and information reporting, the value of
the right of the Class A Certificateholders and the Mezzanine Certificateholders
to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account in respect
of any Net Wac Rate Carryover Amount shall be obtained from the Trust
Administrator upon request to the extent the Trust Administrator has been
provided such information from the Depositor.

ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the
entire beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets
included in REMIC I.
The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed
hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-17. The Certificates of each Class will be
issuable in registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage
Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share
ratably in all rights of the related Class.
Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed by the
Trust Administrator and authenticated and delivered by the Trust Administrator
to or upon the order of the Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed by
manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trust Administrator by an
authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Trust Administrator
shall bind the Trust Administrator notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate
a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided herein
executed by the Trust Administrator by manual signature, and such certificate of
authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
(b) The Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates
shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates held by the Book-Entry
Custodian or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as provided below, the
Depository and registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and,
except as provided below, registration of such Certificates may not be
transferred by the Trust Administrator except to another Depository that agrees
to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership
Interests therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective Ownership
Interests in and to such Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the
Depository and, except as provided below, shall not be entitled to definitive,
fully registered Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") in respect of such
Ownership Interests. All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective
Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance
with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm
representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only
transfer the Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate
Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in
accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. The Trust Administrator is
hereby initially appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act
as such in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has
with the Depository authorizing it to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may,
and, if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian
shall, appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor,
-103-
the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator, any other transfer agent
(including the Depository or any successor Depository) to act as Book-Entry
Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the
Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided that the
predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or
responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than the Depository.
If the Trust Administrator resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms
hereof, the successor trust administrator or, if it so elects, the Depository
shall immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties as Book-Entry Custodian.
The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any
Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.
The Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer and
the Depositor may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the
Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized
representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry
Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders
hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between
such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms
representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and
votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect
to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with
respect to different Certificate Owners. The Trust Administrator may establish a
reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or
voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such
record date.
If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trust Administrator in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge
its responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Termination, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51%
of the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trust
Administrator through the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a
book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of
the Certificate Owners, the Trust Administrator shall notify all Certificate
Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the
same. Upon surrender to the Trust Administrator of the Book-Entry Certificates
by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as applicable, accompanied by
registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the
Trust Administrator shall cause the Definitive Certificates to be issued. Such
Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $25,000,
except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry
Certificate in an amount less than $25,000 immediately prior to the issuance of
a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination equal to the
amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall be liable for any
delay in the delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and
shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of
Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to
be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed
by the Trust Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect to such
Definitive Certificates, and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall
recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder.
-104-
SECTION 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
(a) The Trust Administrator shall cause to be kept at one of
the offices or agencies to be appointed by the Trust Administrator in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.11, a Certificate Register for the Certificates
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
(b) No transfer of any Class M-7 Certificate, Class CE
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate (the "Private
Certificates") shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), and effective registration or qualification under applicable
state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such
registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of a Class CE
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification (other than in connection with the initial
transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the
Depositor), the Trust Administrator shall require receipt of: (i) if such
transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933
Act, written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect the
transfer and from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee, substantially
in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other cases, an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without
such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Master Servicer in its capacity as such or any Sub-Servicer),
together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Certificateholder
desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Certificateholder's prospective
transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based, if any. None of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee is
obligated to register or qualify any such Certificates under the 1933 Act or any
other securities laws or to take any action not otherwise required under this
Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or
qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of any such
Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor and the Master Servicer against any liability that
may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with
such federal and state laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, all transfers of the Class M-7 Certificates shall be made in
reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act.
(c) No transfer of a Private Certificate or any interest
therein shall be made to any Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code,
any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any
Person acquiring such Certificates with "Plan Assets" of a Plan within the
meaning of the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C. F. R. ss.
2510.3-101 ("Plan Assets"), as certified by such transferee in the form of
Exhibit G, unless the Trust Administrator is provided with an Opinion of Counsel
for the benefit of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor and the
Master Servicer and on which they may rely which establishes to the satisfaction
of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer
that the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will
not constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section
4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
NIMS Insurer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust Fund to any
obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code) in addition
-105-
to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the
Trustee or the Trust Fund. Neither an Opinion of Counsel nor any certification
will be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate
by the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor
or any affiliate thereof shall have deemed to have represented that such
affiliate is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets) and the Trust
Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation
(which, upon the request of the Trust Administrator, shall be a written
representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an
affiliate of the Depositor.
Each beneficial owner of a Mezzanine Certificates or any
interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its
acquisition or holding of that certificate or interest therein, that either (i)
it is not a Plan investor, (ii) it has acquired and is holding such Mezzanine
Certificates in reliance on the Underwriters' Exemption, and that it understands
that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Underwriters'
Exemption, including that the Mezzanine Certificates must be rated, at the time
of purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by Fitch, Xxxxx'x or S&P
or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire
or hold the certificate or interest therein is an "insurance company general
account," as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in
Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
If any Mezzanine Certificate or Private Certificate or any
interest therein is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the
preceding two paragraphs, the next preceding permitted beneficial owner will be
treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate retroactive to the date of
transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose
acquisition or holding of any such Certificate or interest therein was effected
in violation of the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the
Trust Administrator, the Trustee and the Trust Fund from and against any and all
liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result of
that acquisition or holding.
(d)(i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or
acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the
following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Trust Administrator
or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person
other than such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under
clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all
other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each
Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall
promptly notify the Trust Administrator of any change or impending
change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Trust Administrator shall
require delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any
Residual Certificate until its receipt of, an affidavit and agreement
(a
-106-
"Transfer Affidavit and Agreement," in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit F-2) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trust Administrator, representing and warranting,
among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee,
that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual
Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee,
trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee,
that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and
that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02(d) and agrees
to be bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a
Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator who is assigned to this
transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a
Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit
and Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2 from any other
Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership
Interest unless it provides a Transferor Affidavit (in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F-2) to the Trust Administrator stating
that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge that such other
Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such
Certificate, agrees to give the Trust Administrator written notice that
it is a "pass-through interest holder" within the meaning of temporary
Treasury regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon
acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it is, or
is holding an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf
of, a "pass-through interest holder."
(ii) The Trust Administrator will register the Transfer of any
Residual Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement and all of such other documents as shall have been reasonably required
by the Trust Administrator as a condition to such registration. In addition, no
Transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be made unless the Trust Administrator
shall have received a representation letter from the Transferee of such
Certificate to the effect that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee.
(iii)(A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of
a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(d), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as holder
thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of
such Residual Certificate. The Trust Administrator shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(d) or
for making any payments due on such Certificate to the holder thereof
or for taking any other action with respect to such holder under the
provisions of this Agreement.
-107-
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section
5.02(d) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the
rights of the holder of such Residual Certificate as described in
clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then
the Trust Administrator shall have the right, without notice to the
holder or any prior holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such
Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Trust Administrator
on such terms as the Trust Administrator may choose. Such purported
Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate
in accordance with the instructions of the Trust Administrator. Such
purchaser may be the Trust Administrator itself or any Affiliate of the
Trust Administrator. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions
(which may include commissions payable to the Trustee or its
Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the
Trust Administrator to such purported Transferee. The terms and
conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined
in the sole discretion of the Trust Administrator, and the Trust
Administrator shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such
discretion.
(iv) The Trust Administrator shall make available to the
Internal Revenue Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all
information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer
of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is a
Disqualified Organization, including the information described in Treasury
regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the
"excess inclusions" of such Residual Certificate and (B) as a result of any
regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common Trust,
partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code
that holds an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among its
record holders at any time any Person which is a Disqualified Organization.
Reasonable compensation for providing such information may be accepted by the
Trust Administrator.
(v) The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to
this subsection (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there
shall have been delivered to the Trust Administrator and the NIMS Insurer at the
expense of the party seeking to modify, add to or eliminate any such provision
the following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect
that the modification, addition to or elimination of such provisions
will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current ratings
of any Class of Certificates; and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Trust Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, to the effect that
such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions
will not cause any Trust REMIC to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will
not cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to an entity-level tax caused
by the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee or a Person other than the prospective transferee
to be subject to a REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual
Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.
The Trust Administrator shall forward to the NIMS Insurer a
copy of the items delivered to it pursuant to (A) and (B) above.
-108-
(e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Trust
Administrator maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.11, the Trust
Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated Transferee or Transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same
Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.
(f) At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may
be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized
denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such
Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Trust Administrator
maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.11. Whenever any Certificates
are so surrendered for exchange, the Trust Administrator shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered
for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trust Administrator) be
duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the
form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly executed by, the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In addition, (i) with
respect to each Class R Certificate, the holder thereof may exchange, in the
manner described above, such Class R Certificate for two separate certificates,
each representing such holder's respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-I
Interest and the Class R-II Interest, respectively, in each case that was
evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged and (ii) with respect to
each Class R-X Certificate, the holder thereof may exchange, in the manner
described above, such Class R-X Certificate for two separate certificates, each
representing such holder's respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-III
Interest and the Class R-IV Interest, respectively, in each case that was
evidenced by the Class R-X Certificate being exchanged.
(g) No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made
for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(h) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange
shall be canceled and destroyed by the Trust Administrator in accordance with
its customary procedures.
SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trust
Administrator, or the Trust Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is
delivered to the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer such
security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the
absence of actual knowledge by the Trust Administrator that such Certificate has
been acquired by a bona fide purchaser or the Trust Administrator shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and
of like denomination and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section, the Trust Administrator may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and
expenses of the Trust Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership in
-109-
the applicable REMIC created hereunder, as if originally issued, whether or not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the
Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the
Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01
and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee or any agent of
any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.05. Certain Available Information.
On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Private
Certificate to an Independent third party, the Depositor shall provide to the
Trust Administrator ten copies of any private placement memorandum or other
disclosure document used by the Depositor in connection with the offer and sale
of such Certificates. In addition, if any such private placement memorandum or
disclosure document is revised, amended or supplemented at any time following
the delivery thereof to the Trust Administrator, the Depositor promptly shall
inform the Trust Administrator of such event and shall deliver to the Trust
Administrator ten copies of the private placement memorandum or disclosure
document, as revised, amended or supplemented. The Trust Administrator shall

SECTION 6.01. Liability of the Depositor and the Master
Servicer.

by this Agreement upon them in their respective capacities as Depositor and
Master Servicer and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Master

SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the
Master Servicer.
Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in
full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws

the Master Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises as a national banking association and shall ensure that it (or an
Affiliate) maintains its qualification as an approved conventional
seller/servicer for Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac in good standing. The Depositor
and the Master Servicer each will obtain and preserve its qualification to do
business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
The Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged or
consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of
its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or
any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer,
shall be the successor of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may
be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to
the Master Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac; and provided further that the Rating Agencies'
ratings of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in effect
immediately prior to such merger or consolidation will not be qualified, reduced

breach of warranties, representations or covenants made herein, or against any
specific liability imposed on the Master Servicer pursuant hereto, or against
any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the NIMS Insurer
and the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any
document of any kind which, PRIMA FACIE, is properly executed and submitted by
any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.
The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind
prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder. In taking or recommending any course of action pursuant to
this Agreement, unless specifically required to do so pursuant to this
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be required to investigate or make
recommendations concerning potential liabilities which the Trust might incur as
a result of such course of action by reason of the condition of the Mortgaged
Properties but shall give notice to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer if it has
notice of such potential liabilities. The Master Servicer shall not be liable
for any acts or omissions of any Servicer, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein.
(b) The Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer shall be indemnified and
held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred
in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the
Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense relating to any specific
Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense
shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or any loss,
liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.
The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against
any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with (a) any legal action
relating to the Servicing Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss,
liability or expense relating to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans
(except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable
pursuant to the Servicing Agreement) or any loss, liability or expense incurred
by the Servicer other than any loss, liability or expense (i) incurred by reason
of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties
under the Servicing Agreement, (ii) in connection with any event of default
under the Servicing Agreement or (iii) by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties or by reason of a breach of any obligations and duties
under the Servicing Agreement and (b) any breach of a representation or warranty
regarding the Mortgage Loans (but only to the extent of amounts paid by the
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, to the Trust Fund pursuant to its
obligations under Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement).
(c) The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Master Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held
harmless thereby against any loss, liability or expense including reasonable
legal fees and disbursements of counsel incurred by the Master Servicer
sustained in connection with, arising out of, or related to, any claim or legal
action
-112-
(including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to this
Agreement, the Certificates or the Servicing Agreement or otherwise arising out
of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the obligations and
duties of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement,
other than any loss, liability or expense (i) that does not constitute an
"unanticipated expense" within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, (ii) that is
specifically required to be incurred by the Master Servicer without right of
reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) for which the Master Servicer
receives indemnification, from the Servicer or otherwise, pursuant to the AAR
Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, (iv) in the case of the Master Servicer,
that constitutes a Servicing Advance relating to a specific Mortgage Loan or
Mortgage Loans for which the Master Servicer's entitlement to reimbursement
shall be governed by Section 3.21 or (v) that is incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Master Servicer in the performance
of its duties hereunder hereunder, or by reason of the Master Servicer's
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder, or as a result of a
breach of the Master Servicer's obligations under Article X hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Servicer shall be acting as
successor to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, the provisions of
Section 6.03(d), and not the provisions of this Section 6.03(c), shall govern
the Trust Fund's indemnification of the Master Servicer when it is acting in
such capacity.
(d) The Master Servicer, if it shall be acting in a capacity
as successor Servicer, and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Master Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against
any loss, liability or expense, including reasonable legal fees and
disbursements of counsel, incurred in connection with the Master Servicer's
acting in such capacity and sustained in connection with, arising out of, or
related to, any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim
or legal action) relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or the Servicing
Agreement, other than any loss, liability or expense to any specific Mortgage
Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be
otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or any loss, liability or
expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in
the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder.
(e) None of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Master
Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this
Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or liability;
provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master
Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem
necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties
of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In
such event, unless the Depositor or the Master Servicer acts without the consent
of Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights, the
legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom
(except any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties
hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor from the Distribution Account as an Extraordinary Trust Fund
Expense, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Distribution Account. Nothing in
this Section 6.03(e) shall affect the Master Servicer's obligation to supervise,
or to take such actions as are
-113-
necessary to ensure, the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans
pursuant to Section 3.01.
SECTION 6.04. Indemnification from the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Indemnified
Persons for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense
(including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their
part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or relating to,
any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal
action) relating to this Agreement or the Certificates or the powers of attorney
delivered by the Trustee hereunder (i) related to the Master Servicer's failure
to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such
loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this
Agreement) or (ii) incurred by reason of the Master Servicer's willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties
hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder, provided, in each case, that with respect to any such claim or legal
action (or pending or threatened claim or legal action), the Trustee shall have
given the Master Servicer and the Depositor written notice thereof promptly
after the Trustee shall have with respect to such claim or legal action
knowledge thereof. The Master Servicer's failure to receive any such notice
shall not affect any Indemnified Person's right to indemnification under this
Section 6.04, except to the extent the Master Servicer is materially prejudiced
by such failure to give notice. This indemnity shall survive the resignation or
removal of the Trustee, Master Servicer or the Trust Administrator and the
termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6.04, "Indemnified
Persons" means the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and their officers, directors,
agents and employees and, with respect to the Trustee, any separate co-trustee
and its officers, directors, agents and employees.
SECTION 6.05. Limitation on Resignation of the Master
Servicer; Assignment of Master Servicing.
(a) The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations
and duties hereby imposed on it except (a) upon appointment of a successor
master servicer and receipt by the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer of a letter from
each Rating Agency that such a resignation and appointment will not result in a
downgrading of the rating of any of the Certificates, (b) upon determination
that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (c)
pursuant to Section 6.05(b). Any such determination under clause (b) permitting
the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer. No such
resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor master
servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities, duties,
liabilities and obligations hereunder.
(b) The Master Servicer may sell, assign or delegate its
rights, duties and obligations as Master Servicer under this Agreement in their
entirety; provided, however, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting
such sale, assignment and delegation (a) shall be a Person qualified to service
mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac; (b) shall have a net worth of not
less than $50,000,000 (unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant
to clause (ii) below); (c) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the NIMS Insurer
and the Trustee (as evidenced in a
-114-
writing signed by each of the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee); and (d) shall
execute and deliver to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer an agreement, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, which
contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and
observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it as
master servicer under this Agreement from and after the effective date of such
assumption agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior written
notice of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer and
shall confirm in writing to the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the
Trustee that any such sale, assignment or delegation would not result in a
withdrawal or a downgrading of the rating on any Class of Certificates in effect
immediately prior to such sale, assignment or delegation; and (iii) the Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to such action under this
Agreement have been fulfilled and such action is permitted by and complies with
the terms of this Agreement. No such sale, assignment or delegation shall affect
any liability of the Master Servicer arising prior to the effective date
thereof.
SECTION 6.06. Successor Master Servicer.
In connection with the appointment of any successor Master
Servicer or the assumption of the duties of the Master Servicer, the Depositor,
the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation
of such successor Master Servicer out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee and such successor Master Servicer
shall agree. If the successor Master Servicer does not agree that such market
value is a fair price, such successor Master Servicer shall obtain two
quotations of market value from third parties actively engaged in the master
servicing of single-family mortgage loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
compensation payable to a successor Master Servicer may not exceed the
compensation which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain if the
Master Servicer had continued to act as Master Servicer hereunder.
SECTION 6.07. Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Master
Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall afford the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer and the Trustee, upon five (5) Business Days prior notice, during normal
business hours, access to all records maintained by the Master Servicer in
respect of the Master Servicer's rights and obligations hereunder and access to
officers of the Master Servicer responsible for such obligations. Upon request,
the Master Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the
Trustee its most recent financial statements and such other information relating
to the Master Servicer's capacity to perform its obligations under this
Agreement as it possesses. To the extent such information is not otherwise
available to the public, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee shall
not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences
without the Master Servicer's written consent, except as required pursuant to
this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i) in working
with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies
or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction
or decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the
Depositor and the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in any case, the Depositor, the
NIMS Insurer or the Trustee as the case may be, shall use its best efforts to
assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information. The
Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master
-115-
Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or
cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its
obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Depositor
or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability
for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and is not obligated to
supervise the performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or
otherwise.

SECTION 7.01. Master Servicer Events of Termination.
(a) "Master Servicer Event of Termination," wherever used herein, means
any one of the following events:
(i) the Master Servicer fails to cause to be deposited in the
Distribution Account any amount so required to be deposited pursuant to
this Agreement (other than a P&I Advance), and such failure continues
unremedied for a period of three Business Days after the date upon
which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer; or
(ii) the Master Servicer fails to observe or perform in any
material respect any other material covenants and agreements set forth
in this Agreement to be performed by it, which covenants and agreements
materially affect the rights of Certificateholders, and such failure
continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which
written notice of such failure, properly requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee
or the NIMS Insurer or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the
Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting
Rights; or
(iii) there is entered against the Master Servicer a decree or
order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction
in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of
assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or
liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or
order is unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days, or
an involuntary case is commenced against the Master Servicer under any
applicable insolvency or reorganization statute and the petition is not
dismissed within 60 days after the commencement of the case; or
(iv) the Master Servicer consents to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment
of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of
or relating to the Master Servicer or substantially all of its
property; or the Master Servicer admits in writing its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due, files a petition to take
advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, makes
an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspends
payment of its obligations; or
(v) the Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or
rights under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions
permitting such assignment or delegation under Section 6.05; or
(vi) any failure of the Master Servicer to make any P&I
Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance) required to be made
from its own funds pursuant to Section
-117-
4.03 by 5:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day prior to the
applicable Distribution Date.
In each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer
Event of Termination with respect to the Master Servicer shall not have been
remedied, either the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting Rights, by notice in writing to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by such
Certificateholders), with a copy to the NIMS Insurer and the Rating Agencies,
may terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities) of the
Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and/or the
REO Property master serviced by the Master Servicer and the proceeds thereof.
Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of the written notice, all authority and
power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Certificates, the Mortgage Loans, REO Property or under any other related
agreements (but only to the extent that such other agreements relate to the
Mortgage Loans or related REO Property) shall, subject to Section 7.02,
automatically and without further action pass to and be vested in the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 7.01; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master
Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and
related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's rights and
obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the
Trustee of (i) the property and amounts which are then or should be part of the
Trust Fund or which thereafter become part of the Trust Fund; and (ii) originals
or copies of all documents of the Master Servicer reasonably requested by the
Trustee to enable it to assume the Master Servicer's duties thereunder. In
addition to any other amounts which are then, or, notwithstanding the
termination of its activities under this Agreement, may become payable to the
Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to
receive, out of any amount received on account of a Mortgage Loan or related REO
Property, that portion of such payments which it would have received as
reimbursement under this Agreement if notice of termination had not been given.
The termination of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer shall not
affect any obligations incurred by the Master Servicer prior to such
termination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Master Servicer Event of
Termination described in clause (vi) of this Section 7.01 shall occur, the
Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, which may be
delivered by telecopy, immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations
of the Master Servicer thereafter arising under this Agreement, but without
prejudice to any rights it may have as a Certificateholder or to reimbursement
of Advances and other advances of its own funds, and the Trustee shall act as
provided in Section 7.02 to carry out the duties of the Master Servicer,
including the obligation to make any Advance the nonpayment of which was a
Master Servicer Event of Termination described in clause (vi) of this Section
7.01. Any such action taken by the Trustee must be prior to the distribution on
the relevant Distribution Date.
SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
-118-
(a) Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or an Opinion of Counsel rendered by
Independent counsel pursuant to Section 6.05 to the effect that the Master
Servicer is legally unable to act or to delegate its duties to a Person which is
legally able to act, the Trustee shall automatically become the successor in all
respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall thereafter be subject to
all the responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liabilities
relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions
hereof; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever
with respect to any liability (other than Advances deemed recoverable and not
previously made) incurred by the Master Servicer at or prior to the time of
termination. As compensation therefor, but subject to Section 6.06, the Trustee
shall be entitled to compensation which the Master Servicer would have been
entitled to retain if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, except
for those amounts due the Master Servicer as reimbursement permitted under this
Agreement for advances previously made or expenses previously incurred.
Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act,
or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance
institution which is a Xxxxxx Xxx- or Xxxxxxx Mac-approved servicer, and with
respect to a successor to the Master Servicer only, having a net worth of not
less than $10,000,000, as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, that the Trustee shall obtain consent
from the NIMS Insurer and a letter or other evidence each Rating Agency that the
ratings, if any, on each of the Certificates will not be lowered as a result of
the selection of the successor to the Master Servicer. Pending appointment of a
successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such
capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such
successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall
agree; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 6.06 shall apply, the
compensation shall not be in excess of that which the Master Servicer would have
been entitled to if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, and that
such successor shall undertake and assume the obligations of the Trustee to pay
compensation to any third Person acting as an agent or independent contractor in
the performance of master servicing responsibilities hereunder. The Trustee and
such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall
be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
All reasonable Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the
predecessor Master Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of
such costs, and if such predecessor Master Servicer defaults in its obligation
to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the successor Master Servicer or
the Trustee (in which case the successor Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of the
Trust Fund).
(b) If the Trustee shall succeed to any duties of the Master
Servicer respecting the Mortgage Loans as provided herein, it shall do so in a
separate capacity and not in its capacity as Trustee and, accordingly, the
provisions of Article VIII shall be inapplicable to the Trustee in its duties as
the successor to the Master Servicer in the master servicing of the Mortgage
Loans (although such provisions shall continue to apply to the Trustee in its
capacity as Trustee); the provisions of Article VI, however, shall apply to it
in its capacity as successor Master Servicer.
-119-
SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 7.01 above or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02 above, the Trustee (or such other successor Trust
Administrator) shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders
and the NIMS Insurer at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register.
(b) Not later than the later of 60 days after the occurrence
of any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute a Master Servicer Event of Termination or five days after a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an
event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the NIMS Insurer and to all Holders
of Certificates notice of each such occurrence, unless such default or Master
Servicer Event of Termination shall have been cured or waived.
SECTION 7.04. Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Termination.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights
(with the consent of the NIMS Insurer) evidenced by all Classes of Certificates
affected by any default or Master Servicer Event of Termination hereunder may
waive such default or Master Servicer Event of Termination; provided, however,
that a default or Master Servicer Event of Termination under clause (i) or (vii)
of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular
Certificates (with the consent of the NIMS Insurer). Upon any such waiver of a
default or Master Servicer Event of Termination, such default or Master Servicer
Event of Termination shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been
remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or Master Servicer Event of Termination or impair
any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. Notice of
any such waiver shall be given by the Trustee to the Rating Agencies and the
NIMS Insurer.
SECTION 7.05. Survivability of Master Servicer Liabilities.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon
termination of the Master Servicer hereunder, any liabilities of the Master
Servicer which accrued prior to such termination shall survive such termination.

ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR
SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee and Trust Administrator
The Trustee and the Trust Administrator, prior to the
occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Termination and after the curing of all
Master Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, undertakes to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. If a Master Servicer Event of Termination has occurred (which has not
been cured) of which a Responsible Officer has knowledge, each of the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested
in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of his own affairs.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt
of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents,
orders or other instruments furnished to it which are specifically required to
be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to
determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement; provided,
however, that neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator will be
responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents or other instruments. If any such
instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a
material manner the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall
take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and
if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee's or the Trust Administrator's
satisfaction, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, will
provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator from liability for its own negligent
action, its own negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided,
however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Termination, and after the curing of all such Master Servicer Events of
Termination which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator shall not be liable except for the performance of such
duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement,
no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement
against the Trustee or the Trust Administrator and, in the absence of
bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the
case may be, and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Trust
-121-
Administrator, as applicable, unless it shall be proved that the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, was negligent
in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted
to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than
51% of the Voting Rights relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator, as applicable, or exercising or omitting to
exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this
Agreement; and
(iv) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be
deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default or Master Servicer
Event of Termination unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the
Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the
Trustee receives written notice of such failure from the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of
the Voting Rights.
Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this
Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible
for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be
the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges
of, the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
The Depositor hereby directs the Trust Administrator to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Cap Contracts on the
Closing Date and thereafter on behalf of the Holders of the Group II
Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates. The Depositor, the Master Servicer
and the Holders of the Group II Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates by
their acceptance of such Certificates acknowledge and agree that the Trust
Administrator shall execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Cap
Contracts and shall do so solely in its capacity as Trust Administrator of the
Trust Fund and not in its individual capacity.
SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) Either the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may request
and rely upon, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from
acting upon, any resolution, Officers' Certificate, certificate of
auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper
or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the proper party or parties, and the manner of
obtaining consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
-122-
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such
reasonable regulations as the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may
prescribe;
(ii) Either the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may consult
with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered
or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such
Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in
it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation
hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of
any of the Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders or the
NIMS Insurer, as applicable, shall have offered to the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, as applicable, reasonable security or indemnity
against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred
therein or thereby; the right of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not
be construed as a duty, and neither the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator shall be answerable for other than its negligence or
willful misconduct in the performance of any such act; nothing
contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation,
upon the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Termination of which
the Trustee has received written notice or of which a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge (which has not been cured
or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by
this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise, as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in
the conduct of his own affairs;
(iv) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Termination hereunder and after the curing or waiver of all Master
Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, neither the
Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be personally liable for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by
it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers
conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Termination and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of
Termination which may have occurred, neither the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts
or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval,
bond or other paper or documents, unless requested in writing to do so
by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the payment within
a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred
by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, not reasonably
assured to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, by
the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee
or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, may require reasonable
indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to
such proceeding; and
-123-
(vi) Either the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may execute
any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder
either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, custodians or
nominees.
(b) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of
the Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by it
without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the production
thereof at the trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any such
suit, action or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought
in its name for the benefit of all the Holders of such Certificates,
subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
(c) The Trust Administrator is hereby directed by the
Depositor to execute and deliver the Cap Contracts on behalf of the
Trust Fund in the form presented to it by the Depositor.
SECTION 8.03. Neither Trustee nor Trust Administrator Liable
for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other
than the signature of the Trust Administrator, the authentication of the Trust
Administrator on the Certificates, the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained
in Article II and the representations and warranties of the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator in Section 8.13) shall be taken as the statements of the
Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator assumes any
responsibility for their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator makes any representations or warranties as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement (other than as specifically set forth in Section
8.13) or of the Certificates (other than the signature of the Trust
Administrator and authentication of the Trust Administrator on the Certificates)
or of any Mortgage Loan or related document. Neither the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator shall be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor
of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the
use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer in
respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Distribution
Account by the Master Servicer.
SECTION 8.04. Trustee and Trust Administrator May Own
Certificates.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator in its
individual capacity or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of
Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or Trust
Administrator, as applicable. Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator in
its individual capacity or any other capacity may transact any banking and trust
business with the Originator, the Servicer, the Depositor or their Affiliates.
SECTION 8.05. Trust Administrator's and Trustee's Fees and
Expenses.
On each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall
withdraw from the Distribution Account and pay to itself the Administration Fee.
The annual fees of the Trustee hereunder and of the Custodian shall be paid in
accordance with a side letter agreement with the Trust Administrator and at the
sole expense of the Trust Administrator. The Trustee, the Trust Administrator or
any director, officer, employee or agent of any of them, shall be indemnified by
the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (not
including expenses and
-124-
disbursements incurred or made by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator,
including the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and
counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee's or the Trust Administrator's
performance in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the
Trustee or by the Trust Administrator arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of the obligations and duties of the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator under this Agreement, other than any loss, liability or
expense (i) resulting from a breach of the Servicer's or the Master Servicer's
obligations and duties under the Servicing Agreement or this Agreement, as
applicable, for which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, is
indemnified under the Servicing Agreement or under Section 6.04 of this
Agreement, as applicable or (ii) any loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee or of the
Trust Administrator, as applicable, in the performance of its duties hereunder
or by reason of the Trustee's or the Trust Administrator's , as applicable,
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or as a result of a
breach of the Trustee's or the Trust Administrator's, as applicable, obligations
under Article X hereof. Any amounts payable to the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, in respect of the indemnification provided by this Section
8.05(a), or pursuant to any other right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund
that the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, may have hereunder in its
capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the Trust Administrator for payment to the
applicable indemnified Person from the Distribution Account at any time. The
foregoing indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator.
SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee and Trust
Administrator.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator hereunder
shall at all times be an entity duly organized and validly existing under the
laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such
laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or
state authority. If such entity publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06, the combined
capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital
and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.
The principal offices of each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator (other
than the initial Trustee and initial Trust Administrator) shall be in a state
with respect to which an Opinion of Counsel has been delivered to such Trustee
or Trust Administrator, as applicable, at the time such Trustee or Trust
Administrator, as applicable, is appointed Trustee or Trust Administrator, as
applicable, to the effect that the Trust will not be a taxable entity under the
laws of such state. In case at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section
8.06, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee or Trust
Administrator.
The Trustee or the Trust Administrator may at any time resign
and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice
thereof to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the
-125-
Servicer, the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency and, if the Trustee is
resigning, to the Trust Administrator, or, if the Trust Administrator is
resigning, to the Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the
Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trust Administrator,
(which may be the same Person in the event both the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator resign or are removed) acceptable to the NIMS Insurer by written
instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
resigning Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable, and one copy to the
successor Trustee or Trust Administrator. If no successor Trustee or Trust
Administrator, as applicable, shall have been so appointed and having accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee or Trust Administrator may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trust Administrator,
as applicable.
If at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall
fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor or the NIMS
Insurer (or in the case of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee), or if at any
time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall be legally unable to act, or
shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer
shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of its
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, then the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicer may
remove the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable. If the Depositor
or the Master Servicer removes the Trustee or the Trust Administrator under the
authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable, acceptable to
the NIMS Insurer, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or Trust Administrator so removed
and one copy to the successor Trustee or Trust Administrator.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights (or the NIMS Insurer upon failure of the Trustee to perform its
obligations hereunder) may at any time remove the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator and appoint a successor trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer, by
written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments
shall be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee or Trust
Administrator so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A
copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the
Master Servicer by the Depositor.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or Trust
Administrator and appointment of a successor Trustee or Trust Administrator
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective
until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section
8.08.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator shall at all times be the same
Person.
SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee or Trust Administrator.
-126-
Any successor Trustee or Trust Administrator appointed as
provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee
or Trust Administrator an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee or Trust
Administrator shall become effective, and such successor Trustee or Trust
Administrator, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully
vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee or Trust
Administrator. The Depositor and the predecessor Trustee or Trust Administrator
shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may
reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the
successor Trustee Trust Administrator all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations.
No successor Trustee or Trust Administrator shall accept
appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such
acceptance such successor Trustee or Trust Administrator shall be eligible under
the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such successor Trustee or
Trust Administrator shall not result in a downgrading of the Regular
Certificates by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating
Agency.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or Trust
Administrator as provided in this Section 8.08, the successor Trustee or Trust
Administrator shall mail notice of the appointment of a successor Trustee or
Trust Administrator hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses
as shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.
SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Trust
Administrator.
Any entity into which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the
business of the Trustee or Trust Administrator, shall be the successor of the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator hereunder, as applicable, provided such
entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and 8.08, without
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of
the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of REMIC I or property securing the same may at the time be located, the
Trustee shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to
appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer to act
as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or
separate trustees, of all or any part of REMIC I, and to vest in such Person or
Persons, in such capacity, such title to REMIC I, or any part thereof, and,
subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or
desirable. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the
written approval of the NIMS Insurer. If the NIMS Insurer shall not have joined
in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do
so, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No
co-trustee or separate trustee
-127-
hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor
trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of
the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under
Section 8.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate
trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to a defaulting Master Servicer hereunder),
the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in
which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding
of title to REMIC I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction
of the Trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trust conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Trustee, or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this
Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording
protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the
Trustee and a copy thereof given to the NIMS Insurer.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time,
constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee
or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all
of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee or co-trustee.
SECTION 8.11. [Reserved].
SECTION 8.12. Representations and Warranties.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator hereby
represents and warrants to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, as of the
Closing Date, that:
(i) It is a national banking association duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United
States of America.
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by it, and
the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by it,
will not violate its articles of association or bylaws or constitute a
default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both,
would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any
material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or which
is applicable to it or any of its assets.
-128-
(iii) It has the full power and authority to enter into and
consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly
authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement,
and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.
(iv) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and
binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with the
terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors'rights generally, and (B) general principles
of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law.
(v) It is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery
of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of
this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any order
or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand
of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority,
which violation, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely
to affect materially and adversely either the ability of it to perform
its obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.
(vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best of its
knowledge, threatened against it, which would prohibit it from entering
into this Agreement or, in its good faith reasonable judgment, is
likely to materially and adversely affect either the ability of it to
perform its obligations under this Agreement or its financial
condition.

SECTION 9.01. Termination Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of
All Mortgage Loans.
(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and
responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trust Administrator and the Trustee (other than the obligations of the Master
Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.04 and of the Master Servicer to
provide for and the Trust Administrator to make payments in respect of the REMIC
I Regular Interests and the Classes of Certificates as hereinafter set forth)
shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders and the deposit of all
amounts held by or on behalf of the Trust Administrator and required hereunder
to be so paid or deposited on the Distribution Date coinciding with or following
the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase by the Terminator (as defined below) of
all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the final
payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I; provided, however, that in
no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21
years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx,
living on the date hereof. Subject to Section 3.10 hereof, the purchase by the
Terminator of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I
shall be at a price (the "Termination Price") equal to the greater of (i) the
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and the appraised value of any
REO Properties, such appraisal to be conducted by an Independent appraiser
mutually agreed upon by the Terminator and the Trust Administrator in their
reasonable discretion and (ii) the fair market value of all of the assets of
REMIC I (as determined by the Terminator and the Trust Administrator, as of the
close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which
notice of any such termination is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to
the third paragraph of this Section 9.01) in each case, plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon at the weighted average of the Mortgage Rates through the end
of the Due Period preceding the final Distribution Date plus unreimbursed
Servicing Advances, Advances, any unpaid Servicing Fees and Administration Fees
allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, any accrued and unpaid Net
WAC Rate Carryover Amount; provided, however, such option may only be exercised
if (i) the Termination Price is sufficient to pay all interest accrued on, as
well as amounts necessary to retire the principal balance of, each class of
notes issued pursuant to the Indenture and any remaining amounts owed to the
trustee under the Indenture and the NIMS Insurer on the date such notes are
retired and (ii) the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
determined as described above is at least equal to the Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to scheduled payments of principal due
during the related Due Period, to the extent received or advanced, and
unscheduled collections of principal received during the related Prepayment
Period) and the appraised value of the REO Properties.
(b) The majority holder of the Class CE Certificates (so long
as such holder is not an affiliate of the Seller) or if such majority holder
fails to exercise such right, the Master Servicer (or if the Master Servicer
fails to exercise such right, the NIMS Insurer) shall have the right (the party
exercising such right, the "Terminator"), to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans
and each REO
-130-
Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph
no later than the Determination Date in the month immediately preceding the
Distribution Date on which the Certificates will be retired; provided, however,
that the Terminator may elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) above only if the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining
in the Trust Fund at the time of such election is reduced to less than 10% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date. By acceptance of the Residual Certificates, the Holder of the Residual
Certificates agrees for so long as any notes insured by the NIMS Insurer and
secured by all or a portion of the Class CE, Class P or Class R Certificates are
outstanding, in connection with any termination hereunder, to assign and
transfer any amounts in excess of par, and to the extent received in respect of
such termination, to pay any such amounts to the Holders of the Class CE
Certificates.
(c) Notice of the liquidation of the Certificates shall be
given promptly by the Trust Administrator by letter to Certificateholders and
the NIMS Insurer mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with
the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property by the Terminator, not
earlier than the 10th day and not later than the 20th day of the month next
preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates or (b)
otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the
Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution
Date upon which the Trust Fund will terminate and the final payment in respect
of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the
Trust Administrator therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final
payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue in respect of the REMIC I Regular
Interests or the Certificates from and after the Accrual Period relating to the
final Distribution Date therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only
upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trust
Administrator. In the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase
of all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the
Terminator, the Terminator shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit
in the Distribution Account not later than the last Business Day of the month
next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates an amount
in immediately available funds equal to the Termination Price. Upon
certification to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator by the Terminator of
the making of such final deposit, the Trust Administrator shall promptly release
to the Terminator the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the
Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments
necessary to effectuate such transfer.
(d) Upon presentation of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall
distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its
Certificates the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 4.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and
surrendered. Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates
being retired on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or
Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held
in trust and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or
Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this
Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trust Administrator shall mail a
second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to
-131-
surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final
distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice
all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Trust Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to
the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of
contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in
the Trust Fund. If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall
pay to UBS Securities LLC all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering
Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest
shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust
by the Trust Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to
surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this
Section 9.01. Any such amounts held in trust by the Trust Administrator shall be
held in an Eligible Account and the Trust Administrator may direct any
depository institution maintaining such account to invest the funds in one or
more Permitted Investments. All income and gain realized from the investment of
funds deposited in such accounts held in trust by the Trust Administrator shall
be for the benefit of the Trust Administrator; provided, however, that the Trust
Administrator shall deposit in such account the amount of any loss of principal
incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such
accounts immediately upon the realization of such loss.
Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder
in respect of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.
SECTION 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event that the Terminator purchases all the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property or the final payment on or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in
REMIC I pursuant to Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in
accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trust
Administrator and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion of
Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall be at the expense of the
Terminator (or in connection with a termination resulting from the
final payment on or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO
Property remaining in REMIC I, which Opinion of Counsel shall be at the
expense of the person seeking nonadherence to the following additional
requirements but which in no event shall be at the expense of the Trust
Fund or, unless it is the person seeking nonadherence to the following
additional requirements, the Master Servicer or the Trust
Administrator), to the effect that the failure of REMIC I to comply
with such additional requirements of this Section 9.02 will not (A)
result in the imposition on the Trust Fund of taxes on "prohibited
transactions," as described in Section 860F of the Code, or (B) cause
REMIC I to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate
is outstanding:
(i) The Trust Administrator shall specify the first day in the
90-day liquidation period in a statement attached to each Trust REMIC's
final Tax Return pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-1 and
shall satisfy all requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section
860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel obtained at the expense of the Terminator;
-132-
(ii) During such 90-day liquidation period and, at or prior to
the time of making of the final payment on the Certificates, the
Trustee shall sell all of the assets of REMIC I to the Terminator for
cash; and
(iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Trust Administrator shall distribute or credit, or
cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual
Certificates all cash on hand in the Trust Fund (other than cash
retained to meet claims), and the Trust Fund shall terminate at that
time.
(b) At the expense of the Terminator, the Depositor shall
prepare or cause to be prepared the documentation required in connection with
the adoption of a plan of liquidation of each Trust REMIC pursuant to this
Section 9.02.
(c) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof
hereby agree to authorize the Trust Administrator to specify the 90-day
liquidation period for each Trust REMIC, which authorization shall be binding
upon all successor Certificateholders.

Residual Interest in REMIC IV. Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator
shall permit the creation of any "interests" in any Trust REMIC (within the
meaning of Section 860G of the Code) other than the REMIC I Regular Interests,
the Class CE Interest, the Class P Interest and the interests represented by the
Certificates.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day"
of each Trust REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) The Trust Administrator shall be reimbursed for any and
all expenses relating to any tax audit of the Trust Fund (including, but not
limited to, any professional fees or any administrative or judicial proceedings
with respect to any Trust REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or
state tax authorities), including the expense of obtaining any tax related
Opinion of Counsel except as specified herein. The Trust Administrator, as agent
for each Trust REMIC's tax matters person shall (i) act on behalf of the Trust
Fund in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving any Trust REMIC and
(ii) represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding
relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with
respect thereto. The holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Residual
Certificates shall be designated, in the manner provided under Treasury
regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulations section
301.6231(a)(7)-1, as the tax matters person of the related REMIC created
hereunder. By their acceptance thereof, the holder of the largest Percentage
Interest of the Residual Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the
Trust Administrator or an Affiliate as its agent to perform all of the duties of
the tax matters person for the Trust Fund.
(d) The Trust Administrator shall prepare, sign and file all
of the Tax Returns (including Form 8811, which must be filed within 30 days
following the Closing Date) in respect of each Trust REMIC. The expenses of
preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trust Administrator
without any right of reimbursement therefor.
-134-
(e) The Trust Administrator shall perform on behalf of each
Trust REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the
responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other
compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local
taxing authority. Among its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC
Provisions or other such compliance guidance, the Trust Administrator shall
provide (i) to any Transferor of a Residual Certificate such information as is
necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual
Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the
Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or
the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue
discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption as
required) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and
telephone number of the person who will serve as the representative of each
Trust REMIC. The Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trust
Administrator, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or
data that the Trust Administrator reasonably determines to be relevant for tax
purposes as to the valuations and issue prices of the Certificates, including,
without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash
flow of the Certificates.
(f) The Trust Administrator shall take such action and shall
cause each Trust REMIC to take such action as shall be necessary to create or
maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions. Neither the
Trust Administrator nor the Trustee shall take any action or cause the Trust
Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any
action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may
be, could (i) endanger the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result
in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the
tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and
the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code)
(either such event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and the NIMS Insurer have received an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator (at the expense of the
party seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee
or the Trust Administrator) to the effect that the contemplated action will not,
with respect to any Trust REMIC, endanger such status or result in the
imposition of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect
to any Trust REMIC or the respective assets of each, or causing any Trust REMIC
to take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement,
any holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer or their respective
designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an
Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any Trust REMIC and such Person
shall not take any such action or cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action
as to which the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer or the
NIMS Insurer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
The Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer
may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall
be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this
Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator or the Master Servicer. At all times as may be required by
the Code, the Trust Administrator will ensure that substantially all of the
assets of REMIC I will consist of "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted investments" as defined in Section
860G(a)(5) of the Code, to the extent such obligations are within the Trust
Administrator's control and not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement.
-135-
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited
transactions" of any REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of
the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of such REMIC as defined
in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any such REMIC after the
Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax
is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws,
such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section
10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trust
Administrator of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results
from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X,
(iii) to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax
arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its
obligations under Article III or this Article X, or (iv) against amounts on
deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.
(h) On or before April 15th of each calendar year, commencing
April 15, 2005, the Trust Administrator shall deliver to each Rating Agency and
the NIMS Insurer an Officer's Certificate of the Trust Administrator stating the
Trust Administrator's compliance with this Article X (without regard to any
action taken by any party other than the Trust Administrator).
(i) The Trust Administrator shall, for federal income tax
purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a
calendar year and on an accrual basis.
(j) Following the Startup Day, none of the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator or the Trustee shall accept any contributions of assets
to any Trust REMIC other than in connection with any Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03 unless it shall have
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the inclusion of such assets
in the Trust Fund will not cause the related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC
at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject such REMIC to any
tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state
and local law or ordinances.
(k) None of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Master
Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive
a fee or other compensation for services nor permit either REMIC to receive any
income from assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section
860G(a)(5) of the Code.
SECTION 10.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the
Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage
Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged
Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of REMIC
I, (iii) the termination of REMIC I pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement,
(iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a purchase
of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or III of this Agreement), nor acquire
any assets for any Trust REMIC (other than REO Property acquired in respect of a
defaulted Mortgage Loan), nor sell or dispose of any investments in the
Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any Trust REMIC
after the Closing Date (other than a Qualified
-136-
Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03), unless it
has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and the NIMS Insurer (at the expense of the party seeking to cause
such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution but in no
event at the expense of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator) that such sale,
disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect
adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC
to be subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant
to the REMIC Provisions.
SECTION 10.03. Master Servicer and Trustee Indemnification.
(a) In the event that any Trust REMIC fails to qualify as a
REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a
result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC
Provisions due to (i) the negligent performance by the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein or (ii) any state,
local or franchise taxes imposed upon the Trust Fund as a result of the location
of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or any co-trustee, the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall indemnify the NIMS Insurer and the
Trust Fund against any and all Losses resulting from such negligence, including,
without limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees imposed on or incurred as a
result of a breach of the Trustee's or the Trust Administrator's, as applicable,
or any co-trustee's covenants; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, shall not be liable for any such Losses
attributable to the action or inaction of the Master Servicer, the Depositor or
the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses
resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual
Certificate on which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, has
relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and
remedies of the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, have any liability (1) for
any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with
the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this
Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a negligent performance
by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, of its duties and
obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages
to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the
Certificates).
(b) In the event that any Trust REMIC fails to qualify as a
REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a
result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC
Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Master Servicer of its duties
and obligations set forth herein, the Master Servicer shall indemnify the NIMS
Insurer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Trust Fund against any and
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses ("Losses") resulting from
such negligence, including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees
imposed on or incurred as a result of a breach of the Master Servicer's
covenants; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Master Servicer shall not be liable for
any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor or the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as
applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by
the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which the Master Servicer has relied.
The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies
of the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or
in equity. Notwithstanding
-137-
the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Master Servicer have any liability
(1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in
compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the
terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a
negligent performance by the Master Servicer of its duties and obligations set
forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to
Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the
Certificates).

the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the NIMS Insurer
or (ii) confirmation from the Rating Agencies, delivered to the Master Servicer,
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, that such amendment
will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding
Class of Certificates. No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented

Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer and
the Trustee with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights for the purpose of adding any

manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage
Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the
consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates (as evidenced

consents required by the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) without the
consent of the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of
consents pursuant to this Section 11.01, Certificates registered in the name of
the Depositor or the Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled
to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, none
of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the NIMS Insurer shall consent to any
amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to the NIMS Insurer to the effect that such amendment will
not result in the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the
-139-
REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trust
Administrator shall notify each Certificateholder and make available to each
Certificateholder and the NIMS Insurer a copy of such amendment.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of
Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve
the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing
the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be
subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trust Administrator may prescribe.
The cost of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to
this Section 11.01 shall be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment,
but in no event shall such Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator.
The Trustee and the Trust Administrator may, but neither shall
not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section that
affects its rights, duties and immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be
effected by the Master Servicer at the expense of the Certificateholders, but
only upon direction of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and
beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this

executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which
counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.

The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not
operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to
take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the
Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the
parties hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation
and management of the Trust, or the
-140-
obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or
contained in the terms of any of the Certificates, be construed so as to
constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an
association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third
person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant
to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in

proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 15 days
after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is
understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with
every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the
Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right
under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal,
ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and
enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder
and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law

SECTION 11.08. Article and Section References.
All article and section references used in this Agreement,
unless otherwise provided, are to articles and sections in this Agreement.
SECTION 11.09. Grant of Security Interest.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee, be, and be
construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of
the Mortgage Loans to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor.
However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the
parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a)
it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge
of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be
a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the
conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by
the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor's
right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable
to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and
all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, other than investment earnings,
-143-
from time to time held or invested in the Distribution Account, whether in the
form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations
secured by such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor's
obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the
Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans
and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee
for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in
the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the
preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance
by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding
sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the
conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and unconditional
sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the
Depositor to the Trustee.
SECTION 11.10. Duties of Trust Fund as Owner of Mortgage Loans
under Servicing Agreement.
To the extent the Trust Fund has any duties or obligations
under the Servicing Agreement or is otherwise asked to perform under the
Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall perform any such duties or
obligations relating to the Mortgage Loans being serviced thereunder, and the
Trustee shall perform any such duties and obligations relating to (i)
enforcement of any duties and obligations of the assignor under any AAR
Agreement, (ii) financial obligations of the Trust Fund, which obligations shall
be paid solely by the Trust Administrator on behalf of the Trustee and the Trust
Fund out of the assets of the Trust Fund (except for expenses and disbursements
incurred or made by the Trustee in connection therewith, including the
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel, in
the ordinary course of the Trustee's performance in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement) and (iii) any other such duties or obligations
which must be performed by the legal owner of the Trust Fund, such as, by way of
illustration, execution of any release of any mortgages upon the sale or other
disposition of the related mortgage loan. With respect to any additional duties
or obligations of the Trust Fund under the Servicing Agreement, the Master
Servicer, Trust Administrator and Trustee will together, in good faith,
determine which party is best suited to perform such obligation or duty. For the
avoidance of doubt, this Agreement has generally established which obligations
under the Servicing Agreement the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Trust
Administrator will perform on behalf of the Trust Fund, and it is the intention
of the parties hereto that the Servicing Agreement shall be interpreted in a
like manner.
SECTION 11.11. Third Party Rights.
The NIMs Insurer and the Servicer shall each be deemed a
third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a
party hereto, and shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement.
-144-
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trust Administrator and the Trustee have caused their names to be signed hereto
by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, in each case as of the
day and year first above written.

Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of

shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if
the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.
No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant
to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and
REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated
in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I
of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trust Administrator assume no responsibility for their

A-7-3
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing
a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Distribution Account may be made from time to
time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and
the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any
time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66%
of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as
provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in
the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Trust Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trust Administrator shall require receipt of
(i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under
the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring
to effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in
all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may
be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator or the Master Servicer in their respective capacities as
such), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective
transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. Neither the Depositor,
the Trust Administrator nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the
Class of Certificates specified
A-7-4
on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any
action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to
effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer against
any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the
Trust Administrator (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any
Person other than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate
that acknowledges that (A) the Class R Certificates have been designated as a
residual interest in a REMIC, (B) it will include in its income a PRO RATA share
of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an "excess
inclusion," as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be
offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to
have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those
relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration
in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof,
shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the
Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of
the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person
other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust
Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the
REMIC.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none
A-7-5
of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator nor
any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant
to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and
REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated
in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I
of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the

Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trust Administrator assumes no responsibility for their
correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trust Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall
not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

(i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under
the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring
to effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in
all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may
be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee or the Master Servicer in their respective capacities
as such), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of
the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective
transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. Neither the Depositor,
the Trust Administrator nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the
Class of Certificates specified
A-7-4
on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any
action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to
effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer against
any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the
Trust Administrator (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any
Person other than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate
that acknowledges that (A) the Class R-X Certificates have been designated as a
residual interest in a REMIC, (B) it will include in its income a PRO RATA share
of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an "excess
inclusion," as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be
offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to
have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those
relating to holding the Class R-X Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration
in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof,
shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the
Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of
the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person
other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust
Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the
REMIC.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none
A-7-5
of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee nor
any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant
to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and
REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated
in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I
of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trust Administrator assumes no responsibility for their
correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trust Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall
not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

FORM OF MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
D-1
MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This is a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement"),
dated March 26, 2004, among UBS Real Estate Securities Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Seller"), Mortgage Asset Securitization Transactions, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser") and WMC Mortgage Corp., a California
corporation (the "Originator").
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Seller intends to sell the Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter
identified) and the Cap Contract to the Purchaser on the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Purchaser intends to deposit the
Mortgage Loans into a mortgage pool comprising the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund
will be evidenced by a single series of mortgage pass-through certificates
designated as Series 2004-WMC1 (the "Certificates"). The Certificates will
consist of seventeen classes of certificates. The Certificates will be issued
pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement for Series 2004-WMC1, dated as of
March 1, 2004 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among the Depositor as
depositor, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. as master servicer and trust administrator (in
such capacity, the "Master Servicer" and "Trust Administrator") and U.S. Bank
National Association as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
The parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE. The Seller agrees to sell
and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, on or before March 29, 2004 (the "Closing
Date"), certain fixed-rate and adjustable-rate conventional, one- to
four-family, residential mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"), having an
aggregate principal balance as of the close of business on March 1, 2004, (the
"Cut-off Date") of approximately $768,519,409.07 (the "Closing Balance"), after
giving effect to all payments due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off
Date, whether or not received including the right to any Prepayment Charges
payable by the related Mortgagors in connection with any Principal Prepayments
on the Mortgage Loans.
SECTION 2. MORTGAGE LOAN SCHEDULE. The Purchaser and the
Seller have agreed upon which of the mortgage loans owned by the Seller are to
be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and the Seller will
prepare or cause to be prepared on or prior to the Closing Date a final schedule
(the "Closing Schedule") that shall describe such Mortgage Loans and set forth
all of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased under this Agreement, including the
Prepayment Charges. The Closing Schedule will conform to the requirements set
forth in this Agreement and to the definitions of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" and
"Prepayment Charge Schedule" under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, it being
understood that for purposes of this Agreement, "Mortgage Loan Schedule" shall
refer to the schedule delivered by the Originator to the Seller. The Closing
Schedule shall be used as the Mortgage Loan Schedule and Prepayment Charge
Schedule under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 3. CONSIDERATION.
(a) In consideration for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased
hereunder, the Purchaser shall, as described in Section 8, pay to or upon the
order of the Seller in immediately available funds an amount (the "Mortgage Loan
Purchase Price") equal to the net sale proceeds of the Certificates.
(b) The Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of
the Purchaser shall be entitled to all scheduled payments of principal due after
the Cut-off Date, all other payments of principal due and collected after the
Cut-off Date, and all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans allocable to
the period after the Cut-off Date. All scheduled payments of principal and
interest due on or before the Cut-off Date and collected after the Cut-off Date
shall belong to the Seller.
(c) Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Purchaser will assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the
Mortgage Loans, together with its rights under this Agreement, to the Trust
Administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
SECTION 4. TRANSFER OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS.
(a) POSSESSION OF MORTGAGE FILES. The Seller does hereby sell,
transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Purchaser, without recourse but
subject to the terms of this Agreement, all of its right, title and interest in,
to and under the Mortgage Loans, including the related Prepayment Charges. The
contents of each Mortgage File not delivered to the Purchaser or to any
assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser on or prior to the Closing
Date are and shall be held in trust by the Seller for the benefit of the
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser. Upon the
sale of the Mortgage Loans, the ownership of each Mortgage Note, the related
Mortgage and the other contents of the related Mortgage File is vested in the
Purchaser and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the
related Mortgage Loan prepared by or that come into the possession of the Seller
on or after the Closing Date shall immediately vest in the Purchaser and shall
be delivered immediately to the Purchaser or as otherwise directed by the
Purchaser.
(b) DELIVERY OF MORTGAGE LOAN DOCUMENTS. The Seller will, on
or prior to the Closing Date, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser
or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser each of the following
documents for each Mortgage Loan:
(i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank or in the
following form: "Pay to the order of Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trust
Administrator under the applicable agreement, without recourse," with
all prior and intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of
endorsement from the Originator to the Person so endorsing to the Trust
Administrator;
(ii) the original Mortgage, noting the presence of the MIN of
the Mortgage Loan and language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a
MOM Loan if the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, with evidence of recording
thereon, and the original recorded power of attorney,
-2-
if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with
evidence of recording thereon;
(iii) unless the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS(R)
System, an original Assignment in blank;
(iv) the original recorded Assignment or Assignments showing a
complete chain of assignment from the originator to the Person
assigning the Mortgage to the Trust Administrator as contemplated by
the immediately preceding clause (iii);
(v) the original or copies of each assumption, modification,
written assurance or substitution agreement, if any; and
(vi) the original lender's title insurance policy, together
with all endorsements or riders that were issued with or subsequent to
the issuance of such policy, insuring the priority of the Mortgage as a
first lien on the Mortgaged Property represented therein as a fee
interest vested in the Mortgagor, or in the event such original title
policy is unavailable, a written commitment or uniform binder or
preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow
company.
With respect to a maximum of approximately 2.0% of the
Mortgage Loans, by outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in Section 4(b)(i) above
cannot be located, the obligations of the Seller to deliver such documents shall
be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the Purchaser of a photocopy of such
Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note affidavit substantially in the
form of Exhibit I to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. If any of the original
Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit was delivered to the Purchaser is
subsequently located, such original Mortgage Note shall be delivered to the
Purchaser within three Business Days.
Except with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which MERS is
identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage
as the mortgagee of record, the Originator promptly shall (within sixty Business
Days following the later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the
Originator of the recording information for a Mortgage, but in no event later
than ninety days following the Closing Date) submit or cause to be submitted for
recording, at no expense to the Purchaser, in the appropriate public office for
real property records, each Assignment referred to in Section 4(b)(iii) and (iv)
above and in connection therewith, the Originator shall execute each original
Assignment in the following form: "Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trust
Administrator under the applicable agreement." In the event that any such
Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the
Originator shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute
Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and
thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent that the Originator has performed the duties with the
respect to any Mortgage Loan referenced in this paragraph in connection with the
transfer of such Mortgage Loan to the Seller, references to the Originator in
this paragraph shall be deemed to be references to the Seller.
-3-
In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan
registered on the MERS(R) System, the Originator further agrees that it will
cause, within 30 Business Days after the Closing Date, the MERS(R) System to
indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Purchaser to the
Trust Administrator in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for
the benefit of the Certificateholders by including in such computer files (a)
the code in the field which identifies the specific Trust Administrator and (b)
the code in the field "Pool Field" which identifies the series of the
Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Originator shall not be responsible for the expense of more than
one transfer on the MERS(R) System at the direction of the Seller or the
Purchaser.
If any of the documents referred to in Sections 4(b)(ii),
(iii) or (iv) above has, as of the Closing Date, been submitted for recording
but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office
or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original
of such document, the obligations of the Seller to deliver such documents shall
be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Purchaser of a copy of each
such document certified by the Originator in the case of (x) above or the
applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and
complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such
copy is certified by the Originator, delivery to the Purchaser promptly upon
receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified by
the applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original. The Originator shall provide notice to the Seller and the Seller shall
provide such notice to the Trust Administrator and the Rating Agencies if
delivery pursuant to clause (2) above will be made more than 180 days after the
Closing Date.
If the original lender's title insurance policy was not
delivered pursuant to Section 4(b)(vi) above, the Seller shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Purchaser, promptly after receipt thereof, the original
lender's title insurance policy. The Seller shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof any other original
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any
Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing
an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.
Each original document relating to a Mortgage Loan which is
not delivered to the Purchaser or its assignee, transferee or designee, if held
by the Seller, shall be so held for the benefit of the Purchaser, its assignee,
transferee or designee.
(c) ACCEPTANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS. The documents delivered
pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof shall be reviewed by the Purchaser or any
assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser at any time before or after
the Closing Date (and with respect to each document permitted to be delivered
after the Closing Date, within seven days of its delivery) to ascertain that all
required documents have been executed and received and that such documents
relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
(d) TRANSFER OF INTEREST IN AGREEMENTS. The Purchaser has the
right to assign its interest under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to the
Trust Administrator, as may be required to effect the purposes of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of the Seller, and the assignee
shall succeed to the rights and obligations hereunder of the Purchaser. Any
expense reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Purchaser or the Trust
Administrator in connection with
-4-
enforcing any obligations of the Seller under this Agreement will be promptly
reimbursed by the Seller.
(e) EXAMINATION OF MORTGAGE FILES. Prior to the Closing Date,
the Seller shall either (i) deliver in escrow to the Purchaser, or to any
assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser for examination, the Mortgage
File pertaining to each Mortgage Loan or (ii) make such Mortgage Files available
to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser for
examination. Such examination may be made by the Purchaser or the Trust
Administrator, and their respective designees, upon reasonable notice to the
Seller during normal business hours before the Closing Date and within 60 days
after the Closing Date. If any such person makes such examination prior to the
Closing Date and identifies any Mortgage Loans that do not conform to the
requirements of the Purchaser as described in this Agreement, such Mortgage
Loans shall be deleted from the Closing Schedule. The Purchaser may, at its
option and without notice to the Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage
Loans without conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact that the
Purchaser or any person has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or
complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the rights of the
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser to demand
repurchase or other relief as provided herein or under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE
SELLER AND THE ORIGINATOR.

(iii) The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by the Seller (x) does not conflict and will not conflict with, does
not breach and will not result in a breach of and does not constitute and will
not constitute a default (or an event, which with notice or lapse of time or
both, would constitute a default) under (A) any terms or provisions of the

Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that the Seller makes no representation
or warranty regarding federal or state securities laws in connection with the
sale or distribution of the Certificates.
(v) This Agreement does not contain any untrue statement of
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
contained herein not misleading. The written statements, reports and other

municipal or governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Seller or its
assets, which violation might have consequences that would materially and
adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or the operation of the
Seller or its assets or might have consequences that would materially and
adversely affect the performance of its obligations and duties hereunder.
(vii) The Seller does not believe, nor does it have any reason
or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in

SECTION 6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE ORIGINATOR
RELATING TO THE MORTGAGE LOANS.
The Originator hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser
that as to each Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date:
(a) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule,
including any diskette or other related data tapes, is true and correct in all
material respects;
(b) The Mortgage creates a (A) first lien and first priority
security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the
Originator to be a first lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) or
(B) second lien and second priority security interest with respect to each
Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Originator to be a second lien (as
reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, in the related
Mortgaged Property securing the related Mortgage Note;
(c) The Originator has not advanced funds, or induced,
solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the
owner of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly,
for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan; no payment with
respect to each Mortgage Loan has been 30 days or more delinquent during the
preceding twelve-month period;
(d) All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums,
water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which
previously became due and owing have been paid;
(e) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not
been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written
instruments which have been recorded to the extent any such recordation is
required by law. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been
executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the
terms thereof except in connection with an assumption agreement and which
assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are
reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule; the substance of any such
waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of the title
insurance policy, to the extent required by the related policy;
-10-
(f) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any
valid right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense, including, without
limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of
the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder,
render the Mortgage Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or
subject to any valid right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense,
including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set off,
counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto; and the
Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated;
(g) All buildings or other customarily insured improvements
upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a Qualified Insurer against loss by
fire and hazards of extended coverage, in an amount representing coverage not
less than the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements
securing such Mortgage Loans, and (ii) the greater of (a) either (1) the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan with respect to each Mortgage
Loan which is indicated by the Originator to be a first lien (as reflected on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule) or (2) with respect to each second lien Mortgage
Loan, the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the first lien on such
Mortgage Loan and the outstanding principal balance of such second lien Mortgage
Loan, and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to
prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer, but in no
event greater than the maximum amount permitted under applicable law. All such
standard hazard policies are in full force and effect and on the date of
origination contained a standard mortgagee clause naming the Originator and its
successors in interest and assigns as loss payee and such clause is still in
effect and all premiums due thereon have been paid. If required by the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Mortgage Loan is covered by a
flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the
Federal Insurance Administration, in an amount not less than the amount required
by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. Such policy was issued
by a Qualified Insurer. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to
maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and upon the
Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain
such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement
therefor from the Mortgagor;
(h) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local
law including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate
settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity,
fair housing, or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been
complied with in all material respects;
(i) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or
subordinated (other than the subordination of any second lien Mortgage Loan to
the related first lien), in whole or in part, or rescinded, and the Mortgaged
Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in
part nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release,
cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Originator has not waived the
performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor's failure to
perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the
Originator waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the
Mortgagor;
-11-
(j) The related Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable
and perfected (A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect
to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Originator to be a first lien
(as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second lien and second
priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated
by the Originator to be a second lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, on the Mortgaged Property including all
buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical,
electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems affixed to such
buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements consisting of real
property or fixtures made at any time with respect to the foregoing securing the
Mortgage Note's original principal balance. Such lien is free and clear of all
adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien of
the Mortgage subject only to (1) the lien of non delinquent current real
property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (2) covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the
public record as of the date of recording which are acceptable to mortgage
lending institutions generally and either (A) which are referred to or otherwise
considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B)
which do not adversely affect the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property as
set forth in such appraisal, (3) other matters which are disclosed in the
applicable title commitment or policy, or to which like properties are commonly
subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security
intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property and (4) with respect to each
Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Originator to be a second lien Mortgage
Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) a first lien on the Mortgaged
Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document
related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and
creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected (A) first lien and first
priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated
by the Originator to be a first lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule), or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with respect
to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Originator to be a second lien
Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, on
the property described therein;
(k) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original
and genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker
thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general
application affecting the rights of creditors and by general equitable
principles and the Originator has taken all action necessary to transfer such
rights of enforceability to the Seller. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute
and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. No fraud, error,
misrepresentation, gross negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a
Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Originator or the Mortgagor,
or, on the part of any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage
Loan. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is
no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as
to completion of any on site or off site improvements and as to disbursements of
any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses
incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the
Mortgage were paid or are in the process of being paid, and the Mortgagor is not
entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage;
-12-
(l) Either the Mortgagor is a natural person or the Mortgagor
is an inter-vivos trust acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx. With respect to each
inter-vivos trust, holding title to the Mortgaged Property in such trust will
not diminish any rights as a creditor including the right to full title to the
Mortgaged Property in the event foreclosure proceedings are initiated;
(m) Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title
insurance policy issued by a title insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx
Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (j)(1),
(2) and (3) above and, with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by
the Originator to be a second lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule) clause (4)) the Originator, its successors and assigns, as to the
first (or, where applicable, second) priority lien of the Mortgage in the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to each
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or
unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage
providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally,
such policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and from the Mortgaged
Property. Where required by applicable state law or regulation, the Mortgagor
has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage
title insurance. The Originator, its successors and assigns, are the sole
insureds of such lender's title insurance policy. No claims have been made under
such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related
Mortgage, including the Originator, has done, by act or omission, anything which
would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;
(n) There is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and, to
the best of Originator's knowledge, no event which, with the passage of time or
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a
default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration; and neither the
Originator nor any prior mortgagee has waived any default, breach, violation or
event permitting acceleration. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is
indicated by the Originator to be a second lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule) (i) the first lien is in full force and effect, (ii)
there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under
such first lien mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii) to the best of
Originator's knowledge, no event which, with the passage of time or with notice
and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder, and either (A) the first
lien mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires,
the mortgagee under the second lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and
affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or
otherwise under the first lien mortgage;
(o) There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which
have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that
under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged
Property which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related
Mortgage, unless insured against by the related title insurance policy;
(p) All improvements subject to the Mortgage which were
considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie
wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged
Property (and wholly within the project with respect to a condominium unit) and
no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged
-13-
Property except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy
referred to in clause (m) above and all improvements on the property comply un
all material respects with all applicable zoning and subdivision laws and
ordinances;
(q) The Mortgage Loan was originated by the Originator or a
third-party originator and sold to the Originator. The Mortgage Loan complies
with all the terms, conditions and requirements of the Originator's Underwriting
Standards in effect at the time of origination of such Mortgage Loan, subject to
exceptions thereto made in the ordinary course of business. The Mortgage Notes
and Mortgages (exclusive of any riders) are on forms generally acceptable to
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Rate
set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and Monthly Payments under the
Mortgage Note are due and payable on the first day of each month (subject to any
grace period set forth in the Mortgage Note). The Mortgage contains the usual
and enforceable provisions of the originator at the time of origination for the
acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Loan
if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the
mortgagee thereunder, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
reorganization and other laws of general application affecting the rights of
creditors and by general equitable principles;
(r) The Mortgaged Property is not subject to any material
damage by waste, fire, earthquake, windstorm, flood or other casualty. At
origination of the Mortgage Loan there was, and there currently is, no
proceeding pending or scheduled for the total or partial condemnation of the
Mortgaged Property;
(s) The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of
the security provided thereby. There is no homestead or other exemption
available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the
Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage;
(t) If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee,
authorized and duly qualified if required under applicable law to act as such,
has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the
Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Seller to
the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale
or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(u) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related
Mortgaged Property signed prior to the final approval of the mortgage loan
application by a Qualified Appraiser, who had no interest, direct or indirect,
in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose
compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage
Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Xxxxxx
Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery,
and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as
in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated;
(v) Each of the Originator, any third-party originator, any
servicer and any intervening mortgagee which have had any interest in the
Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee or otherwise, are (or, during the
period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (A)

Each Mortgage Note, other than with respect to a Balloon Mortgage Loan, requires
a monthly payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the original principal
balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related
Mortgage Rate. With respect to each Balloon Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note
requires a monthly payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the original
principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the

monthly payment. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would
result in negative amortization;

limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have
been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities;
(gg) If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a

stock in a cooperative housing corporation, such condominium, cooperative or
planned unit development project meets the eligibility requirements of Xxxxxx
Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac;
(hh) There is no pending action or proceeding directly

a federal or state authority. With respect to each Mortgage Loan identified on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule as a correspondent loan, the Mortgage Loan was
re-underwritten by the Originator prior to Originator's purchase thereof;

Substitute Mortgage
-21-

Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Originator or the Seller,
as applicable, shall deliver to the Purchaser such amended Closing Schedule and

Pooling and Servicing Agreement within five (5) days of any such amendment. Any
repurchase pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall be accomplished by transfer to an

accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any
repurchase required by this Section shall be made in a manner consistent with
Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a representation
or warranty of the Seller regarding the Mortgage Loans has been breached and the
circumstance constituting the breach also constitutes a breach of a like
representation or warranty given by the Originator as of an earlier date, the
Purchaser's remedy hereunder shall be solely against the Originator and not the
Seller.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 90 days of the earlier
of discovery by the Originator or receipt of notice by the Originator of the
breach of the representation of the Originator set forth in Section 6(ppp) above

Warranties Agreement, dated February 1, 2003 (the "Master Agreement") between
the Seller and the Originator, it will pay to the Seller, with respect to each
Mortgage Loan repurchased, an amount (such amount, a "Repurchase Premium") equal

Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the date of such prepayment
in full; provided, that, the amount reimbursed to the Seller shall be reduced by
the amount of any Prepayment Charges that are legally enforceable with respect
to such Mortgage Loan.
(c) It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, set forth in this Section 7 to cure or
repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan constitute the sole remedies of the
Purchaser against the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, respecting a
missing document or a breach of the representations and warranties contained in
Section 6.

the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof shall have been satisfied and the

Price, or any such condition shall not have been waived or satisfied and the
Purchaser determines not to pay or cause to be paid the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Price, the Purchaser shall immediately effect the re-delivery of the Mortgage
Loans, if delivery to

prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions

is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any

jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits
or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.
SECTION 16. AGREEMENT OF PARTIES. The Originator, the Seller
and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such instruments and take

in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement
and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 17. SURVIVAL. (a) The Seller agrees that the
representations, warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any

DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS (OTHER THAN THE CHOICE OF LAW
PROVISIONS THEREIN) AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES HERETO
INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS
LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION 19. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement may be executed in
two or more counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject
matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or
termination is sought. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in
Section 4 hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the
Seller to the Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller
to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in
the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the
Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller, then (a) it is the express
intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage

party unless the Transferee has obtained a current representation letter from
such third party or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to
conclude that such third party independently meets the definition of "qualified
institutional buyer" set forth in Rule 144A.

FORM OF TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT
STATE OF NEW YORK )
COUNTY OF NEW YORK )
__________________________, being duly sworn, deposes,
represents and warrants as follows:
1. I am a ______________________ of
____________________________ (the "Owner") a corporation duly organized and
existing under the laws of ______________, the record owner of MASTR Asset
Backed Securities Trust, Series 2004-WMC1, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Class [R][R-X] Certificates, (the "Residual Certificates"), on behalf of whom I
make this affidavit and agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement pursuant to which the Residual Certificates were issued.
2. The Owner (i) is and will be a "Permitted Transferee" as of
____________, 20__ and (ii) is acquiring the Residual Certificates for its own
account or for the account of another Owner from which it has received an
affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. A "Permitted
Transferee" is any person other than a "disqualified organization" or a
possession of the United States. For this purpose, a "disqualified organization"
means the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any agency
or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of
the activities of which are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is not selected by
any such governmental entity) or any foreign government, international
organization or any agency or instrumentality of such foreign government or
organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative, or any organization
(other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that is generally exempt from federal
income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business
taxable income.
3. The Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on
transfers of the Residual Certificates to disqualified organizations under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that applies to all transfers of the Residual
Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor
or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person includes a broker,
nominee or middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent; (iii) that
the person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the
tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an affidavit that the transferee
is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such person does not
have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that each of the
Residual Certificates may be a "noneconomic residual interest" within the
meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code and that the
transferor of a "noneconomic residual interest" will remain liable for any taxes
due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant
purpose of the transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
F-2-1
4. The Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through
entity" holding the Residual Certificates if, at any time during the taxable
year of the pass-through entity, a non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder
of an interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a "pass-through entity"
includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or
common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)
5. The Owner is aware that the Trust Administrator will not
register the transfer of any Residual Certificate unless the transferee, or the
transferee's agent, delivers to the Trust Administrator, among other things, an
affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Owner expressly
agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes
that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are
false.
6. The Owner consents to any additional restrictions or
arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute
a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Residual Certificates will only be
owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Owner's taxpayer identification number is
_________________.
8. The Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the
face of the Residual Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Residual Certificates were
issued (in particular, clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(d) which
authorize the Trust Administrator to deliver payments to a person other than the
Owner and negotiate a mandatory sale by the Trust Administrator in the event
that the Owner holds such Certificate in violation of Section 5.02(d)); and that
the Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions
and provisions.
9. The Owner is not acquiring and will not transfer the
Residual Certificates in order to impede the assessment or collection of any
tax.
10. The Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds
the Residual Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the
holder of such Residual Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the
benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Residual Certificates that the
Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Residual Certificates as
they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess
of any cash flows generated by the Residual Certificates.
11. The Owner has no present knowledge that it may become
insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds the
Residual Certificates.
12. The Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the
Certificates remain outstanding.
13. The Owner is not acquiring the Residual Certificates with
the intent to transfer the Residual Certificates to any person or entity that
will not have sufficient assets to pay any taxes
F-2-2
owed by the holder of such Residual Certificates, or that may become insolvent
or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, for so long as the Residual Certificates
remain outstanding.
14. The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it
makes of the Residual Certificates, obtain from its transferee the
representations required by Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement under which the Residual Certificate were issued and will not
consummate any such transfer if it knows, or knows facts that should lead it to
believe, that any such representations are false.
15. The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it
makes of the Residual Certificates, deliver to the Trust Administrator an
affidavit, which represents and warrants that it is not transferring the
Residual Certificates to impede the assessment or collection of any tax and that
it has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee: (i) has insufficient
assets to pay any taxes owed by such transferee as holder of the Residual
Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding
for so long as the Residual Certificates remains outstanding; and (iii) is not a
"Permitted Transferee".
16. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the
laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate or
trust whose income from sources without the United States may be included in
gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its
connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States.
17. The Owner of the Residual Certificate, hereby agrees that
in the event that the Trust Fund created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01 thereof, the undersigned shall assign and
transfer to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates (with respect to a
termination of REMIC I) any amounts in excess of par received in connection with
such termination. Accordingly, in the event of such termination, the Trust
Administrator is hereby authorized to withhold any such amounts in excess of par
and to pay such amounts directly to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.
This agreement shall bind and be enforceable against any successor, transferee
or assigned of the undersigned in the Residual Certificate. In connection with
any transfer of the Residual Certificate, the Owner shall obtain an agreement
substantially similar to this clause from any subsequent owner.
