SECTION 1.01. DEFINITIONS.
Whenever used in this Agreement, the following words and phrases, unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the
meanings specified in this Article.
Accrued Certificate Interest: With respect to each Distribution Date and (a) each Class of Class A, Class M and Class B
Certificates, interest accrued during the related Interest Accrual Period on the Certificate Principal Balance thereof immediately
prior to such Distribution Date at the related Pass-Through Rate for that Distribution Date and (b) each component of the Class AXP
Certificates, interest accrued during the related Interest Accrual Period on the related Notional Amount immediately prior to that
Distribution Date at the related Pass-Through Rate.
The amount of Accrued Certificate Interest on each Class of Certificates shall be reduced by the amount of Prepayment

pursuant to Section 3.16, by Relief Act Shortfalls on the related Mortgage Loans during the related Due Period, and, with respect to
each Class of Class A (other than the Grantor Trust Certificates), Class M and Class B Certificates, by any Net Deferred Interest on
the related Mortgage Loans allocable to such Class of Certificates for that Distribution Date. The portion of any Prepayment
Interest Shortfalls or Relief Act Shortfalls allocated to the Class A Certificates will be based upon the related Senior Percentage
of all such reductions with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, such reductions to be allocated among the related Class A
Certificates, pro rata, on the basis of Accrued Certificate Interest payable on such Distribution Date absent such reductions, with
the remainder of such reductions allocated among the Holders of all Classes of Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates, pro
rata, on the basis of Accrued Certificate Interest payable on such Distribution Date absent such reductions. Net Deferred Interest
will be allocated to each Class of Certificates as described in Section 4.02(j).
Accrued Certificate Interest with respect for any Distribution Date shall further be reduced by the interest portion of
Realized Losses allocated to any Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.05.
Accrued Certificate Interest with respect to the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates shall accrue on the basis of a
360-day year and the actual number of days in the related Interest Accrual Period. Accrued Certificate Interest with respect to the
Class AXP Certificates shall accrue on the basis of a 360-day year divided into twelve 30-day months.
With respect to each Distribution Date and the Class SB Certificates, interest accrued during the preceding Interest Accrual
Period at the related Pass-Through Rate on the Notional Amount as specified in the definition of Pass-Through Rate, immediately prior
to such Distribution Date, reduced by any interest shortfalls with respect to the Mortgage Loans, including Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls to the extent not covered by Compensating Interest pursuant to Section 3.16 or by Excess Cash Flow pursuant to
Section 4.02(c)(iv). Accrued Certificate Interest on the Class SB Certificates shall accrue on the basis of a 360-day year and the
actual number of days in the related Interest Accrual Period.
Adjustment Date: With respect to each Mortgage Loan, each date set forth in the related Mortgage Note on which an
adjustment to the interest rate on such Mortgage Loan becomes effective.
Available Distribution Amount: As to any Distribution Date, and as calculated separately for each Loan Group, an amount
equal to (a) the sum of (i) the amount relating to the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group on deposit in the Custodial Account
as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date, including any Subsequent Recoveries, and amounts
deposited in the Custodial Account in connection with the substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans, (ii) the amount of any
Advance made on the immediately preceding Certificate Account Deposit Date, (iii) any amount deposited in the Certificate Account on

Basis Risk Shortfall:
o With respect to the Class I-A Certificates and Class II-A Certificates and any Distribution Date on which the Pass-Through
Rate is based on the Net WAC Cap Rate, an amount equal to the excess of (i) Accrued Certificate Interest for that
Class calculated at a rate equal to LIBOR plus the related Margin, over (ii) Accrued Certificate Interest for that
Class calculated using the related Net WAC Cap Rate; plus any unpaid related Basis Risk Shortfall from prior
Distribution Dates, plus interest thereon, to the extent not previously paid from Excess Cash Flow, and, with
respect to the Class I-A2A Certificates only, from the Yield Maintenance Agreement, calculated at a rate equal to
LIBOR plus the related Margin.

For purposes of the succeeding formulas the following symbols shall have the meanings set forth below:
Y1 = the principal balance of REMIC I Regular Interest LT1 after distributions and the allocation of Realized Losses and
Net Deferred Interest on the prior Distribution Date.
Y2 = the principal balance of REMIC I Regular Interest LT2 after distributions and the allocation of Realized Losses and
Net Deferred Interest on the prior Distribution Date.
Y3 = the principal balance of REMIC I Regular Interest LT3 after distributions and the allocation of Realized Losses and
Net Deferred Interest on the prior Distribution Date.
Y4 = the principal balance of REMIC I Regular Interest LT4 after distributions and the allocation of Realized Losses and
Net Deferred Interest on the prior Distribution Date (note: Y3 = Y4).
AY1 = the REMIC I Regular Interest LT1 Principal Reduction Amount.
AY2 = the REMIC I Regular Interest LT2 Principal Reduction Amount.
AY3 = the REMIC I Regular Interest LT3 Principal Reduction Amount.
AY4 = the REMIC I Regular Interest LT4 Principal Reduction Amount.
P0 = the aggregate principal balance of REMIC I Regular Interests LT1, LT2, LT3 and LT4 after distributions and the
allocation of Realized Losses and Net Deferred Interest on the prior Distribution Date.
P1 = the aggregate principal balance of REMIC I Regular Interests LT1, LT2, LT3, and LT4 after distributions and the
allocation of Realized Losses and Net Deferred Interest to be made on such Distribution Date.
AP = P0 - P1 = the aggregate of the REMIC I Regular Interests LT1, LT2, LT3 and LT4 Principal Reduction Amounts.
= the aggregate of the principal portions of Realized Losses and Net Deferred Interest to be allocated to, and the
principal distributions to be made on, the Group I Certificates on such Distribution Date (including distributions of accrued and
unpaid interest on the Class SB Certificates for prior Distribution Dates).
R0 = the Group I Net WAC Rate (stated as a monthly rate) after giving effect to amounts distributed and Realized Losses
and Net Deferred Interest allocated on the prior Distribution Date.
R1 = the Group I Net WAC Rate (stated as a monthly rate) after giving effect to amounts to be distributed and Realized
Losses and Net Deferred Interest to be allocated on such Distribution Date.
a = (Y2 + Y3)/P0. The initial value of a on the Closing Date for use on the first Distribution Date shall be 0.0001.
a0 = R0*P0 minus the product of (1) the interest rate for the Class I-AXP-IO Component set forth in footnote (3) to the
REMIC IV table (stated as a monthly rate) and (2) the Class I-AXP-IO Component Notional Amount, in each case as applicable for
distributions to be made on such Distribution Date.
a1 = R1*P1 minus the product of (1) the interest rate for the Class I-AXP-IO Component set forth in footnote (3) to the
REMIC IV table (stated as a monthly rate) and (2) the Class I-AXP-IO Component Notional Amount, in each case as applicable for
distributions to be made on the next succeeding Distribution Date.
Then, based on the foregoing definitions:
AY1 = AP - AY2 - AY3 - AY4;
AY2 = (a/2){( a0R1 - a1R0)/R0R1};
AY3 = aAP - AY2; and
AY4 = AY3.
if both AY2 and AY3, as so determined, are non-negative numbers. Otherwise:

AY2 = 0;
AY3 = a{a1R0P0 - a0R1P1}/{a1R0};
AY4 = AY3; and
AY1 = XX - XX0 - XX0 - XX0.
(2) If AY3, as so determined, is negative, then
AY3 = 0;
AY2 = a{ a0R1P1 - a1R0P0}/{2R1R0P1 - a1R0};
AY4 = AY3; and
AY1 = XX - XX0 - XX0 - XX0.

First for each of Loan Group I and Loan Group II determine the REMIC II Marker Rates for the related REMIC II Regular
Interests Y and Z, respectively, for distributions of interest that will be made on the next succeeding Distribution Date (the "Group
Interest Rate"). The REMIC II Principal Reduction Amount for each of the REMIC II Y Regular Interests will be determined pursuant to
the "Generic solution for the REMIC II Y Regular Interests" set forth below (the "Generic Solution") by making the following
identifications among the Loan Groups and their related REMIC II Y Regular Interests and REMIC II Z Regular Interests:
A. Determine which Loan Group has the lower Group Interest Rate. That Loan Group will be identified with Loan
Group AA and the REMIC II Y Regular Interests and REMIC II Z Regular Interests related to that Loan Group will be respectively
identified with the REMIC II YAA and REMIC II ZAA Regular Interests. The Group Interest Rate for that Loan Group will be identified
with J%. If the two Loan Groups have the same Group Interest Rate pick one for this purpose, subject to the restriction that each
Loan Group may be picked only once in the course of any such selections pursuant to paragraphs A and B of this definition.
B. Determine which Loan Group has the higher Group Interest Rate. That Loan Group will be identified with
Loan Group BB and the REMIC II Y Regular Interests and REMIC II Z Regular Interests related to that Group will be respectively
identified with the REMIC II YBB and REMIC II ZBB Regular Interests. The Group Interest Rate for that Loan Group will be identified
with K%. If the two Loan Groups have the same Group Interest Rate the Loan Group not selected pursuant to paragraph A, above, will
be selected for purposes of this paragraph B.
Second, apply the Generic Solution set forth below to determine the REMIC II Y Principal Reduction Amounts for the
Distribution Date using the identifications made above.
GENERIC SOLUTION FOR THE REMIC II Y PRINCIPAL REDUCTION AMOUNTS: For any Distribution Date, the amounts by which the
Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II YAA and REMIC II ZAA Regular Interests respectively will be reduced on such
Distribution Date by the allocation of Realized Losses and the distribution of principal, determined as follows:
J% and K% represent the Group Interest Rates on Loan Group AA and Loan Group BB respectively. J% less than K%.
For purposes of the succeeding formulas the following symbols shall have the meanings set forth below:
PJB = the Loan Group AA Subordinate Amount after the allocation of Realized Losses and Net Deferred Interest and
distributions of principal on such Distribution Date.

distributions and the allocation of Realized Losses and Net Deferred Interest on the prior Distribution Date, which is equal to the
aggregate principal balance of the Group AA Loans.
Pk = the aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of the REMIC II YBB and REMIC II ZBB Regular Interests after
distributions and the allocation of Realized Losses and Net Deferred Interest on the prior Distribution Date, which is equal to the
aggregate principal balance of the Loan Group BB Mortgage Loans.

Mortgage Loans as a result of principal distributions (exclusive of any amounts distributed pursuant to clauses (c)(i) or (c)(ii) of
the definition of REMIC II Distribution Amount) to be made and Realized Losses and Net Deferred Interest to be allocated on such
Distribution Date, if applicable, which is equal to the aggregate of the REMIC II YAA and REMIC II ZAA Principal Reduction Amounts.
(DELTA)Pk= the aggregate principal reduction resulting on such Distribution Date on the Loan Group BB
Mortgage Loans as a result of principal distributions (exclusive of any amounts distributed pursuant to clauses (c)(i) or (c)(ii) of

Distribution Date, which is equal to the aggregate of the REMIC II YBB and REMIC II ZBB Principal Reduction Amounts.
(alpha) = .0005
(gamma) = (R - J%)/(K% - R). (gamma) is a non-negative number unless its denominator is zero, in which
event it is undefined.
If (gamma) is zero, (DELTA)Yk = Yk and (DELTA)Yj = (Yj/Pj)(DELTA)Pj.
If (gamma) is undefined, (DELTA)Yj = Yj, (DELTA)Yk = (Yk/Pk)(DELTA)Pk. if denominator
In the remaining situations, (DELTA)Yk and (DELTA)Yj shall be defined as follows:
1. If Yk - (alpha)(Pk - (DELTA)Pk) = > 0, Yj- (alpha)(Pj - (DELTA)Pj) => 0, and (gamma) (Pj - (DELTA)Pj) < (Pk - (DELTA)Pk),
(DELTA)Yk = Yk - (alpha)(gamma) (Pj - (DELTA)Pj) and (DELTA)Yj = Yj - (alpha)(Pj - (DELTA)Pj).
2. If Yk - (alpha)(Pk - (DELTA)Pk) => 0, Yj - (alpha)(Pj - (DELTA)Pj) => 0, and (gamma) (Pj - (DELTA)Pj) => (Pk - (DELTA)Pk),
(DELTA)Yk = Yk - (alpha)(Pk - (DELTA)Pk) and (DELTA)Yj = Yj - ((alpha)/(gamma))(Pk - (DELTA)Pk).

Yk - ((gamma)Yj), (DELTA)Yk = Yk - (alpha)(Pk - (DELTA)Pk) and (DELTA)Yj = Yj - ((alpha)/(gamma))(Pk - (DELTA)Pk).
The purpose of the foregoing definitional provisions together with the related provisions allocating Realized Losses and
defining the REMIC II Y and REMIC II Z Principal Distribution Amounts is to accomplish the following goals in the following order of
priority:
1. Making the ratio of Yk to Yj equal to (gamma) after taking account of the allocation Realized Losses and the distributions
that will be made through end of the Distribution Date to which such provisions relate and assuring that the Principal Reduction
Amount for each of the REMIC II YAA, REMIC II YBB, REMIC II ZAA and REMIC II ZBB Regular Interests is greater than or equal to
zero for such Distribution Date;
2. Making (i) the REMIC II YAA Principal Balance less than or equal to 0.0005 of the sum of the REMIC II YAA and REMIC II ZAA
principal balances and (ii) the REMIC II YBB principal balances less than or equal to 0.0005 of the sum of the REMIC II YBB and
REMIC II ZBB Principal Balances in each case after giving effect to allocations of Realized Losses and distributions to be made
through the end of the Distribution Date to which such provisions relate; and
3. Making the larger of (a) the fraction whose numerator is Yk and whose denominator is the sum of Yk and Zk and (b) the
fraction whose numerator is Yj and whose denominator is the sum of Yj, and Zj as large as possible while remaining less than or
equal to 0.0005.
In the event of a failure of the foregoing portion of the definition of REMIC II Y Principal Reduction Amount to accomplish
both of goals 1 and 2 above, the amounts thereof should be adjusted to so as to accomplish such goals within the requirement that
each REMIC II Y Principal Reduction Amount must be less than or equal to the sum of (a) the principal Realized Losses to be allocated
on the related Distribution Date for the related Pool and (b) the remainder of the Available Distribution Amount for the related Pool
or after reduction thereof by the distributions to be made on such Distribution in respect of interest on the related REMIC II Y and
REMIC II Z Regular Interests, or, if both of such goals cannot be accomplished within such requirement, such adjustment as is
necessary shall be made to accomplish goal 1 within such requirement. In the event of any conflict among the provisions of the
definition of the REMIC II Y Principal Reduction Amounts, such conflict shall be resolved on the basis of the goals and their
priorities set forth above within the requirement set forth in the preceding sentence.

REMIC III Principal Reduction Amounts: For any Distribution Date, the amounts by which the Uncertificated Principal
Balances of the REMIC III Regular Interests will be reduced on such Distribution Date by the allocation of Realized Losses and the
distribution of principal, determined as follows:
For purposes of the succeeding formulas the following symbols shall have the meanings set forth below:
Y1 = the aggregate principal balance of REMIC III Regular Interests LT1, LT-Y1 and LT-Y2 after distributions and the
allocation of Realized Losses and Net Deferred Interest on the prior Distribution Date.
Y2 = the principal balance of REMIC III Regular Interest LT2 after distributions and the allocation of Realized Losses
and Net Deferred Interest on the prior Distribution Date.
Y3 = the principal balance of REMIC III Regular Interest LT3 after distributions and the allocation of Realized Losses
and Net Deferred Interest on the prior Distribution Date.
Y4 = the principal balance of REMIC III Regular Interest LT4 after distributions and the allocation of Realized Losses
and Net Deferred Interest on the prior Distribution Date (note: Y3 = Y4).
AY1 = the combined REMIC III Regular Interest LT1, LT-Y1 and LT-Y2 Principal Reduction Amount. Such amount shall be
allocated first to LT-Y1 up to the Class Y-1 Principal Reduction Amount and LT-Y2 up to the Class Y-2 Principal Reduction Amount and
thereafter the remainder shall be allocated to LT1.
AY2 = the REMIC III Regular Interest LT2 Principal Reduction Amount.
AY3 = the REMIC III Regular Interest LT3 Principal Reduction Amount.
AY4 = the REMIC III Regular Interest LT4 Principal Reduction Amount.
P0 = the aggregate principal balance of the REMIC III Regular Interests after distributions and the allocation of
Realized Losses and Net Deferred Interest on the prior Distribution Date.
P1 = the aggregate principal balance of the REMIC III Regular Interests after distributions and the allocation of
Realized Losses and Net Deferred Interest to be made on such Distribution Date.
AP = P0 - P1 = the aggregate of the REMIC III Regular Interests Principal Reduction Amounts.
= the aggregate of the principal portions of Realized Losses and Net Deferred Interest to be allocated to, and the
principal distributions to be made on, the Certificates on such Distribution Date (including distributions of accrued and unpaid
interest on the Class SB Certificates for prior Distribution Dates).
R0 = the weighted average of the interest rates on REMIC II Regular Interest Z-1 and REMIC II Regular Interest Z-2
applicable for distributions to be made on such Distribution Date (stated as a monthly rate) after giving effect to amounts
distributed and Realized Losses and Net Deferred Interest allocated on the prior Distribution Date.
R1 = the weighted average of the interest rates on REMIC II Regular Interest Z-1 and REMIC II Regular Interest Z-2
applicable for distributions to be made on the next succeeding Distribution Date (stated as a monthly rate) after giving effect to
amounts to be distributed and Realized Losses and Net Deferred Interest to be allocated on such Distribution Date.
a = (Y2 + Y3)/P0. The initial value of a on the Closing Date for use on the first Distribution Date shall be 0.0001.
a0 = the lesser of (A) the sum for all Classes of Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates of the product for each
Class of (i) the monthly interest rate (as limited by the related REMIC IV Net WAC Cap Rate, if applicable) for such Class applicable
for distributions to be made on such Distribution Date and (ii) the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance for such Class after
distributions and the allocation of Realized Losses and Net Deferred Interest on the prior Distribution Date and (B) R0*P0.
a1 = the lesser of (A) the sum for all Classes of Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates of the product for each
Class of (i) the monthly interest rate (as limited by the related REMIC IV Net WAC Cap Rate, if applicable) for such Class applicable
for distributions to be made on the next succeeding Distribution Date and (ii) the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance for such
Class after distributions and the allocation of Realized Losses and Net Deferred Interest to be made on such Distribution Date and
(B) R1*P1.
Then, based on the foregoing definitions:
AY1 = AP - AY2 - AY3 - AY4;
AY2 = (a/2){( a0R1 - a1R0)/R0R1};
AY3 = aAP - AY2; and
AY4 = AY3.
if both AY2 and AY3, as so determined, are non-negative numbers. Otherwise:
(1) If AY2, as so determined, is negative, then
AY2 = 0;
AY3 = a{a1R0P0 - a0R1P1}/{a1R0};
AY4 = AY3; and
AY1 = XX - XX0 - XX0 - XX0.
(2) If AY3, as so determined, is negative, then
AY3 = 0;
AY2 = a{ a0R1P1 - a1R0P0}/{2R1R0P1 - a1R0};
AY4 = AY3; and
AY1 = XX - XX0 - XX0 - XX0.

SECTION 1.02. DETERMINATION OF LIBOR.
LIBOR applicable to the calculation of the Pass-Through Rate on the LIBOR Certificates for any Interest Accrual Period will
be determined as of each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date. On each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date, or if such LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date is
not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day, LIBOR shall be established by the Trustee and, as to any Interest
Accrual Period, will equal the rate for one month United States dollar deposits that appears on the Dow Xxxxx Telerate Screen Page
3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date. "Dow Xxxxx Telerate Screen Page 3750" means the display
designated as page 3750 on the Telerate Service (or such other page as may replace page 3750 on that service for the purpose of
displaying London interbank offered rates of major banks). If such rate does not appear on such page (or such other page as may
replace that page on that service, or if such service is no longer offered, LIBOR shall be so established by use of such other
service for displaying LIBOR or comparable rates as may be selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Master Servicer), the
rate will be the Reference Bank Rate. The "Reference Bank Rate" will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in
U.S. Dollars are offered by the reference banks (which shall be any three major banks that are engaged in transactions in the London
interbank market, selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Master Servicer) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the LIBOR
Rate Adjustment Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period of one month in amounts approximately equal to the
aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the LIBOR Certificates then outstanding. The Trustee will request the principal London
office of each of the reference banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate
will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations rounded up to the next multiple of 1/16%. If on such date fewer than two quotations
are provided as requested, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by one or more major banks in New York City,
selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Master Servicer, as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date for loans in
U.S. Dollars to leading European banks for a period of one month in amounts approximately equal to the aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance of the LIBOR Certificates then outstanding. If no such quotations can be obtained, the rate will be LIBOR for the
prior Distribution Date; provided however, if, under the priorities described above, LIBOR for a Distribution Date would be based on
LIBOR for the previous Distribution Date for the third consecutive Distribution Date, the Trustee, after consultation with the Master
Servicer, shall select an alternative comparable index (over which the Trustee has no control), used for determining one-month
Eurodollar lending rates that is calculated and published (or otherwise made available) by an independent party.
The establishment of LIBOR by the Trustee and the Master Servicer on any LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date and the Master
Servicer's subsequent calculation of the Pass-Through Rate applicable to the LIBOR Certificates for the relevant Interest Accrual
Period, in the absence of manifest error, will be final and binding.
Promptly following each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date the Trustee shall supply the Master Servicer with the results of its
determination of LIBOR on such date. Furthermore, the Trustee will supply to any Certificateholder so requesting by telephone by
calling (000) 000-0000 the Pass-Through Rate on the LIBOR Certificates for the current and the immediately preceding Interest Accrual
Period.

SECTION 2.01. CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS. (See Section 2.01 of the Standard Terms).
SECTION 2.02. ACCEPTANCE BY TRUSTEE. (See Section 2.02 of the Standard Terms).
SECTION 2.03. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE MASTER SERVICER AND THE COMPANY.
(a) For representations, warranties and covenants of the Master Servicer, see Section 2.03(a) of the Standard Terms.
(b) The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders that as of the Closing Date
(or, if otherwise specified below, as of the date so specified):
(i) No Mortgage Loan is 30 or more days Delinquent in payment of principal and interest as of the Cut-off Date and no Mortgage
Loan has been so Delinquent more than once in the 12-month period prior to the Cut-off Date;
(ii) The information set forth in Exhibit One hereto with respect to each Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans, as the case may
be, is true and correct in all material respects at the date or dates respecting which such information is furnished;
(iii) The Mortgage Loans are payment-option adjustable-rate mortgage loans with a negative amortization feature with Monthly
Payments due, with respect to a majority of the Mortgage Loans, on the first day of each month and terms to maturity
at origination or modification of not more than 40 years;
(iv) To the best of the Company's knowledge, if a Mortgage Loan is secured by a Mortgaged Property with a Loan-to-Value Ratio at
origination in excess of 80%, such Mortgage Loan is the subject of a Primary Insurance Policy that insures (a) at
least 35% of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan at origination if the Loan-to-Value Ratio is between
100.00% and 95.01%, (b) at least 30% of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan at origination if the
Loan-to-Value Ratio is between 95.00% and 90.01%, (c) at least 25% of such balance if the Loan-to-Value Ratio is
between 90.00% and 85.01% and (d) at least 12% of such balance if the Loan-to-Value Ratio is between 85.00% and

Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date are secured by Mortgaged Properties located in any one zip code area

(vii) The improvements upon the Mortgaged Properties are insured against loss by fire and other hazards as required by the Program
Guide, including flood insurance if required under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The
Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to maintain such casualty insurance at the Mortgagor's expense, and on the
Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at the
Mortgagor's expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;
(viii) Immediately prior to the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, the Company had good title to, and was the sole
owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest (other than rights
to servicing and related compensation) and such assignment validly transfers ownership of the Mortgage Loans to the

more than 0.45% of the Group II Loans by aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date were underwritten
under a no income/no asset program;
(x) Except with respect to no more than 7.15% of the Group I Loans by aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date
and no more than 12.62% of the Group II Loans by aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, the
Mortgagor represented in its loan application with respect to the related Mortgage Loan that the Mortgaged Property
would be owner-occupied;
(xi) None of the Mortgage Loans is a Buy-Down Mortgage Loan;
(xii) Each Mortgage Loan constitutes a qualified mortgage under Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-2(a)(1), (2), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (9) without reliance on the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-2(a)(3) or Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) or any other provision that would allow a Mortgage Loan
to be treated as a "qualified mortgage" notwithstanding its failure to meet the requirements of Section
860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(a)(1), (2), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (9);

appraisals of Mortgaged Properties are obtained in connection with the refinancing thereof), the related Seller has
represented that either (a) the value of the related Mortgaged Property as of the date the Mortgage Loan was
originated was not less than the appraised value of such property at the time of origination of the refinanced
Mortgage Loan or (b) the Loan-to-Value Ratio of the Mortgage Loan as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan
generally meets the Company's underwriting guidelines;
(xvi) Interest on each Mortgage Loan is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months;
(xvii) None of the Mortgage Loans contain in the related Mortgage File a Destroyed Mortgage Note;
(xviii) One of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 0.1% of the Mortgage Loans, have been made to International Borrowers;
(xix) No Mortgage Loan provides for payments that are subject to reduction by withholding taxes levied by any foreign (non-United
States) sovereign government; and
(xx) None of the Mortgage Loans are Additional Collateral Loans and none of the Mortgage Loans are Pledged Asset Loans.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03(b) shall survive delivery of the
respective Custodial Files to the Trustee or the Custodian.
Upon discovery by any of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any Custodian of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03(b) that materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties (the
Custodian being so obligated under a Custodial Agreement); provided, however, that in the event of a breach of the representation and
warranty set forth in Section 2.03(b)(xii), the party discovering such breach shall give such notice within five days of discovery.
Within 90 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of breach, the Company shall either (i) cure such breach in all material
respects or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price and in the manner set forth in Section 2.02;
provided that the Company shall have the option to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for such Mortgage Loan if
such substitution occurs within two years following the Closing Date; provided that if the omission or defect would cause the
Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must
occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered. Any such substitution shall be effected by the Company under the same
terms and conditions as provided in Section 2.04 for substitutions by Residential Funding. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Company to cure such breach or to so purchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has
occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee
on behalf of the Certificateholders.

benefit of the Holders of each Class of Certificates (other than the Class R-I, Class R-II and Class R-III Certificates, and with

SECTION 3.07 COLLECTION OF CERTAIN MORTGAGE LOAN PAYMENTS; DEPOSIT TO CUSTODIAL ACCOUNT.
(A) (See Section 3.07(a) of the Standard Terms)
(B) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Custodial Account in which the Master Servicer shall deposit or
cause to be deposited on a daily basis, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments and collections
remitted by Subservicers or received by it in respect of the Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of
principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date):
(I) All payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments made by Mortgagors on the Mortgage
Loans and the principal component of any Subservicer Advance or of any REO Proceeds received in connection with an REO
Property for which an REO Disposition has occurred;
(II) All payments on account of interest at the Adjusted Mortgage Rate on the Mortgage Loans, including Buydown
Funds, if any, and the interest component of any Subservicer Advance or of any REO Proceeds received in connection with an
REO Property for which an REO Disposition has occurred;
(III) Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation Proceeds (net of any related expenses of the
Subservicer);
(IV) All proceeds of any Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 or 4.07 (including
amounts received from Residential Funding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement in respect
of any liability, penalty or expense that resulted from a breach of the Compliance With Laws Representation and all amounts
required to be deposited in connection with the substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section
2.03 or 2.04);
(V) Any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.07(c) or 3.21;
(VI) All amounts transferred from the Certificate Account to the Custodial Account in accordance with Section
4.02(a);
(VII) Any amounts realized by the Subservicer and received by the Master Servicer in respect of any Additional
Collateral;
(VIII) Any amounts received by the Master Servicer in respect of Pledged Assets; and
(IX) Any amounts received by the Master Servicer in connection with any Prepayment Charges on the Prepayment
Charge Loans.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments on the Mortgage Loans which are not part of the Trust Fund (consisting of
payments in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date) and payments or collections in
the nature of late payment charges or assumption fees may but need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Custodial Account.
In the event any amount not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account is so deposited, the Master Servicer may at any time
withdraw such amount from the Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Custodial Account may
contain funds that belong to one or more trust funds created for mortgage pass-through certificates of other series and may contain
other funds respecting payments on Mortgage Loans belonging to the Master Servicer or serviced or master serviced by it on behalf of
others. Notwithstanding such commingling of funds, the Master Servicer shall keep records that accurately reflect the funds on
deposit in the Custodial Account that have been identified by it as being attributable to the Mortgage Loans.
With respect to Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, REO Proceeds and the proceeds of the purchase of any Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 and 4.07 received in any calendar month, the Master Servicer may elect to treat such amounts as
included in the Available Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date in the month of receipt, but is not obligated to do so. If
the Master Servicer so elects, such amounts will be deemed to have been received (and any related Realized Loss shall be deemed to
have occurred) on the last day of the month prior to the receipt thereof.
(C) (See Section 3.07(c) of the Standard Terms)
(D) (See Section 3.07(d) of the Standard Terms)
(E) Notwithstanding Section 3.07(a), The Master Servicer shall not waive (or permit a Subservicer to waive) any
Prepayment Charge unless: (i) the enforceability thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership
and other similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally, (ii) the enforcement thereof is illegal, or any local, state or
federal agency has threatened legal action if the prepayment penalty is enforced, (iii) the collectability thereof shall have been
limited due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment or (iv) such waiver is standard and
customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans and relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the
reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment
Charge and the related Mortgage Loan. In no event will the Master Servicer waive a Prepayment Charge in connection with a
refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is not related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default. If a Prepayment Charge is
waived, but does not meet the standards described above, then the Master Servicer is required to deposit into the Custodial Account
the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge at the time that the amount prepaid on the related Mortgage Loan is required to be
deposited into the Custodial Account. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any payments made by the Master
Servicer in respect of any waived Prepayment Charges pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be paid outside of the Trust Fund
and not part of any REMIC.

Depository shall be solely 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

agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Company or the Master Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor.
(h) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01 of the Standard Terms, if the Master Servicer anticipates that a final
distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates will be made on a future Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall, no
later than 40 days prior to such final Distribution Date, notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall, not earlier than the 15th day and
not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution, distribute, or cause to be distributed,
to each Holder of such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that: (i) the Trustee anticipates 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 Trustee or as otherwise specified therein, and (ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates
from and after the end of the related Interest Accrual Period. In the event that Certificateholders required to surrender their
Certificates pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Standard Terms do not surrender their Certificates for final cancellation, the
Trustee shall cause funds distributable with respect to such Certificates to be withdrawn from the Certificate Account and credited
to a separate escrow account for the benefit of such Certificateholders as provided in Section 9.01(d) of the Standard Terms.
(i) On the initial Distribution Date, Basis Risk Shortfall amounts with respect to the initial Distribution Date, if any, will

Class I-A Certificates (other than the Grantor Trust Certificates) and the Subordinate Certificates in accordance with the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class I-A Certificates (other than the Grantor Trust Certificates) and the Group I Subordinate
Amount, respectively, and among such Class I-A Certificates (based on the Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class relative
to the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class I-A Certificates (other than the Grantor Trust Certificates) immediately
prior to the related Distribution Date) and among the Subordinate Certificates to the Class M Certificates (based on the Certificate
Principal Balance of each Class of Class M Certificates relative to the Subordinate Amount for Loan Group I immediately prior to the
related Distribution Date) and the Class B Certificates (based on the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B Certificates
relative to the Subordinate Amount for Loan Group I immediately prior to the related Distribution Date) in reduction of the amount of
interest otherwise distributable to such Classes of Certificates and (ii) with respect to Loan Group II, shall be allocated pro rata
between the Class II-A Certificates and the Subordinate Certificates in accordance with the Certificate Principal Balance of the
Class II-A Certificates and the Group II Subordinate Amount, respectively, and among the Subordinate Certificates to the Class M
Certificates (based on the Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Class M Certificates relative to the Subordinate Amount for
Loan Group II immediately prior to the related Distribution Date) and the Class B Certificates (based on the Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class B Certificates relative to the Subordinate Amount for Loan Group II immediately prior to the related
Distribution Date) in reduction of the amount of interest otherwise distributable to such Classes of Certificates; provided, however,
to the extent the amount of Net Deferred Interest otherwise allocable to such Certificates as described in the preceding sentence
exceeds the amount of current interest accrued on such Certificates (or on the related Subordinate Amount in the case of the Class M
Certificates and Class B Certificates), then such remaining Net Deferred Interest shall be allocated to the Class SB Certificates to
the extent of any current interest accrued on the Class SB Certificates, and then, if necessary, among the Class I-A (other than the
Grantor Trust Certificates), Class II-A, Class M and Class B Certificates in proportion to, and up to, the amount of any remaining
interest otherwise distributable on (i) the Class I-A Certificates (other than the Grantor Trust Certificates) and the portion of
interest derived from the related Subordinate Amount of the Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates in the case of Net Deferred
Interest on the Group I Loans and (ii) the Class II-A Certificates and the portion of interest derived from the related Subordinate
Amount of the Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates in the case of Net Deferred Interest on the Group II Loans. Any Net
Deferred Interest allocated to a Class of Certificates (other than the Grantor Trust Certificates) will be added as principal to the
outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates. Interest due on the Grantor Trust Certificates will not be
affected by Net Deferred Interest unless there is a default in payment under the related Deferred Interest Cap Agreement; in the
event of such a default in payment by the Deferred Interest Cap Agreement Provider under the related Deferred Interest Cap Agreement,
Net Deferred Interest allocable to the Underlying Certificates will be allocated to the related Grantor Trust Certificates in the
manner described in this Section 4.02(j). Net Deferred Interest shall not be allocated to the Class AXP Certificates.

SECTION 4.04. DISTRIBUTION OF REPORTS TO THE TRUSTEE AND THE COMPANY; ADVANCES BY THE MASTER SERVICER.
(A) (See Section 4.04(a) of the Standard Terms)
(B) On or before 2:00 P.M. New York time on each Certificate Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall
either (i) deposit in the Certificate Account from its own funds, or funds received therefor from the Subservicers, an amount equal
to the Advances to be made by the Master Servicer in respect of the related Distribution Date, which shall be in an aggregate amount
equal to the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate), less the
amount of any related Servicing Modifications, Debt Service Reductions or reductions in the amount of interest collectable from the
Mortgagor pursuant to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, as amended, or similar legislation or regulations then in effect, on the
Outstanding Mortgage Loans as of the related Due Date, which Monthly Payments were not received as of the close of business as of the
related Determination Date; provided that no Advance shall be made if it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance; and provided, further,
that the Monthly Payment for purposes of this Section 4.04 shall mean the minimum monthly payment due under the Mortgage Note, net of
the Servicing Fee and Subservicing Fee, (ii) withdraw from amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account and deposit in the Certificate
Account all or a portion of the Amount Held for Future Distribution in discharge of any such Advance, or (iii) make advances in the
form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any portion of the Amount Held for Future
Distribution so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account on or before 11:00 A.M. New York
time on any future Certificate Account Deposit Date to the extent that funds attributable to the Mortgage Loans that are available in
the Custodial Account for deposit in the Certificate Account on such Certificate Account Deposit Date shall be less than payments to
Certificateholders required to be made on the following Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to use any Advance
made by a Subservicer as described in Section 3.07(b) that has been deposited in the Custodial Account on or before such Distribution
Date as part of the Advance made by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 4.04. The amount of any reimbursement pursuant to
Section 4.02(a) in respect of outstanding Advances on any Distribution Date shall be allocated to specific Monthly Payments due but
delinquent for previous Due Periods, which allocation shall be made, to the extent practicable, to Monthly Payments which have been
delinquent for the longest period of time. Such allocations shall be conclusive for purposes of reimbursement to the Master Servicer
from recoveries on related Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.10.
The determination by the Master 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 delivered to the
Company and the Trustee.
If the Master Servicer determines as of the Business Day preceding any Certificate Account Deposit Date that it will be
unable to deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance required to be made for the immediately succeeding
Distribution Date, it shall give notice to the Trustee of its inability to advance (such notice may be given by telecopy), not later
than 3:00 P.M., New York time, on such Business Day, specifying the portion of such amount that it will be unable to deposit. Not
later than 3:00 P.M., New York time, on the Certificate Account Deposit Date the Trustee shall, unless by 12:00 Noon, New York time,
on such day the Trustee shall have been notified in writing (by telecopy) that the Master Servicer shall have directly or indirectly
deposited in the Certificate Account such portion of the amount of the Advance as to which the Master Servicer shall have given
notice pursuant to the preceding sentence, pursuant to Section 7.01, (a) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01 and (b) assume the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
hereunder, including the obligation to deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance for the immediately
succeeding Distribution Date.
The Trustee shall deposit all funds it receives pursuant to this Section 4.04 into the Certificate Account.
SECTION 4.05. ALLOCATION OF REALIZED LOSSES.
(a) Prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, that
resulted from any Cash Liquidation, Servicing Modifications, Debt Service Reduction, Deficient Valuation or REO Disposition that
occurred during the related Prepayment Period or, in the case of a Servicing Modification that constitutes a reduction of the
interest rate on a Mortgage Loan, the amount of the reduction in the interest portion of the Monthly Payment due in the month in
which such Distribution Date occurs. The amount of each Realized Loss shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate. All Realized
Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated as follows:
first, to the Excess Cash Flow as part of the Principal Distribution Amount as provided in Section 4.02(c), to the extent of
the Excess Cash Flow for such Distribution Date;
second, in reduction of the Overcollateralization Amount, until such amount has been reduced to zero;
third, to the Class B Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
fourth, to the Class M-9 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
fifth, to the Class M-8 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
sixth, to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
seventh, to the Class M-6 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
eighth, to the Class M-5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
ninth, to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
tenth, to the Class M-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
eleventh, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
twelfth, to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and
thirteenth, for Realized Losses on the Group I Loans, to all of the Class I-A Certificates on a pro rata basis (with respect
to the Grantor Trust Certificates, indirectly through the related Underlying Certificates), and for Realized Losses on the Group II
Loans, to the Class II-A Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balances thereof have been reduced to zero; provided, however,
that (a) such losses otherwise allocable to the Class I-A1A, Class I-A2AU and Class I-A4AU Certificates will be allocated first to
the Class I-A1BU Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class I-A1BU Certificates has been reduced to zero, and
then to the Class I-A1A, Class I-A2AU and Class I-A4AU Certificates (and, with respect to the Grantor Trust Certificates, indirectly
through the related Underlying Certificates) on a pro rata basis and (b) such losses otherwise allocable to the Class I-A3AU
Certificates will be allocated first to the Class I-A3BU Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class I-A3BU
Certificates has been reduced to zero, and then to the Class I-A3AU Certificates (and with respect to the Grantor Trust Certificates
indirectly through the related Underlying Certificates).
(b) Any allocation of the principal portion of Realized Losses (other than Debt Service Reductions) to the Class A (with respect
to the Grantor Trust Certificates, indirectly through the related Underlying Certificates), Class M or Class B Certificates on any
Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated, which allocation
shall be deemed to have occurred on such Distribution Date, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
provided, that no such reduction shall reduce the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates below the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans. Allocations of the interest portions of Realized Losses (other than any interest
rate reduction resulting from a Servicing Modification) to any Class of Class A (with respect to the Grantor Trust Certificates,
indirectly through the related Underlying Certificates), Class M or Class B Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be made by
operation of the definition of "Accrued Certificate Interest" for each Class for such Distribution Date. Allocations of the interest
portion of a Realized Loss resulting from an interest rate reduction in connection with a Servicing Modification shall be made by
operation of the priority of payment provisions of Section 4.02(c). 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.
(c) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date to the REMIC I Regular Interests as
provided in the definition of REMIC I Realized Losses.
(d) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date to the REMIC II Regular Interests as
provided in the definition of REMIC II Realized Losses.
(e) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date to the REMIC III Regular Interests as
provided in the definition of REMIC III Realized Losses.
(f) Realized Losses allocated to the Excess Cash Flow or the Overcollateralization Amount pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) or (c)
of this Section, the definition of Accrued Certificate Interest and the operation of Section 4.02(c) shall be deemed allocated to the
Class SB Certificates. Realized Losses allocated to the Class SB Certificates shall, to the extent such Realized Losses represent
Realized Losses on an interest portion, be allocated to the REMIC IV Regular Interest SB-IO. Realized Losses allocated to the Excess
Cash Flow pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be deemed to reduce Accrued Certificate Interest on the REMIC IV Regular
Interest SB-IO. Realized Losses allocated to the Overcollateralization Amount pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be
deemed first to reduce the principal balance of the REMIC IV Regular Interest SB-PO until such principal balance shall have been
reduced to zero and thereafter to reduce accrued and unpaid interest on the REMIC IV Regular Interest SB-IO.

will be withdrawn from the Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund and deposited into the Certificate Account for payment to the Class A,
Class M, Class AXP and Class B Certificates to the extent of any Basis Risk Shortfall Amount on the Class A, Class M, Class AXP and
Class B Certificates on such initial Distribution Date. After the initial Distribution Date, all amounts remaining in the Basis Risk
Shortfall Reserve Fund will be distributed to Xxxxxx Brothers Inc. or its designee, and following such withdrawal the Basis Risk
Shortfall Reserve Fund will be closed.
(b) The Trustee will invest funds deposited in the Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund as directed by the Depositor or its
designee in writing in Permitted Investments with a maturity date (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 Trustee or
an Affiliate of the Trustee is the obligor for the Permitted Investment, or (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are
required to be withdrawn from such account or sub account of a trust account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee or an

Depositor, then funds in such account shall remain uninvested). For federal income tax purposes, the Depositor shall be the owner of
the Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund and shall report all items of income, deduction, gain or loss arising therefrom. At no time
will the Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund be an asset of any REMIC created hereunder. All income and gain realized from investment
of funds deposited in the Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund, which investment shall be made solely upon the written direction of the
Depositor, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Depositor and shall be remitted by the Trustee to the Depositor within
one Business Day from the closing of the Basis Risk Shortfall Reserve Fund. The Depositor shall deposit in the Basis Risk Shortfall
Reserve Fund the amount of any net loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such
loss.

SECTION 4.13. FINAL MATURITY RESERVE ACCOUNT.
(a) The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall establish on behalf of the Holders of the Class A, Class M, Class AXP and
Class B Certificates, the Final Maturity Reserve Account as a separate trust account. The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall

in excess of 30 years is greater than the applicable scheduled amount for such Distribution Date set forth in column A of Schedule 1
hereto, the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall deposit into the Final Maturity Reserve Account, from interest collections on
the Mortgage Loans with respect to such Distribution Date, the Coupon Strip for such Distribution Date.
(c) On any Distribution Date, any amounts on deposit in the Final Maturity Reserve Account in excess of the lesser of (i) the

Act shall be represented initially by Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificates.
(ii) The Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificates shall be exchanged on the later of (a) 40 days after the later of the
Closing Date (b) the date on which the requisite certifications are due to and provided to the Trustee (the later of clauses (a) and
(b), the "Exchange Date") for Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificates. Regulation S Global Offered Certificates shall be
issued in registered form, without coupons, and deposited upon the order of the Transferor with the Trustee as custodian for and
registered in the name of a nominee of the Depository for credit to the account of the depositaries for Euroclear and Clearstream.
(iii) A Certificate Owner holding an interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificate may receive payments in
respect of the Certificates on the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificate only after the delivery, to Euroclear or
Clearstream, as the case may be, of a written certification substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit Six, and upon delivery by
Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to the Trustee and Certificate Registrar of a certification or certifications
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit Seven (the "Clearing System Certificate"). The delivery by a Certificate Owner of the
certification referred to above shall constitute its irrevocable instruction to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to
arrange for the exchange of the Certificate Owner's interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificate for a
beneficial interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate after the Exchange Date in accordance with paragraph
(iv) below.
(iv) After (i) the Exchange Date and (ii) receipt by the Certificate Registrar of written instructions from Euroclear or
Clearstream, as the case may be, directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to either Euroclear's or
Clearstream's, as the case may be, Depository's account a beneficial interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered
Certificate in a principal amount not greater than that of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered
Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce the principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S
Global Offered Certificate and increase the principal amount of the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate, by the
principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificate to be so transferred, and to
credit or cause to be credited to the account of Euroclear, Clearstream or a Person who has an account with the Depository as the
case may be, a beneficial interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate having a Certificate Principal Balance of
the Temporary Regulation S Global Class B that was reduced upon the transfer. Upon return of the entire principal amount of the
Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificate to the Trustee in exchange for beneficial interests in the Permanent Regulation S
Global Offered Certificate, Trustee shall cancel the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificate by perforation and shall
forthwith destroy it.
(v) For transfer of an interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate for an interest in the Rule 144A Global
Offered Certificate, if the Certificateholder of a beneficial interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate
deposited with the Depository wishes at any time to exchange its interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate,
or to transfer its interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof
in the form of an interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate, the Certificateholder may, subject to the rules and
procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream and the Depository, as the case may be, give directions for the Certificate Registrar to
exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer of the interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Rule
144A Global Offered Certificate. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar of instructions from Euroclear or Clearstream, from the
Depository or from the Certificateholder, as the case may be, directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a
beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate equal to the Percentage Interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global
Offered Certificate to be exchanged or transferred (such instructions to contain information regarding the Depository Participant
account to be credited with the increase, and, with respect to an exchange or transfer of an interest in the Permanent Regulation S
Global Offered Certificate, information regarding the Depository Participant account to be debited with the decrease), the
Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate by the aggregate
principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate to be so exchanged or
transferred, and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository, concurrently with the reduction, to increase the principal
amount of the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the beneficial interest in the
Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the
account of the Person specified in the instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate equal to the
reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance of the Permanent Regulation S Global Offered Certificate.
(vi) For transfers of an interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate for an interest in a Regulation S Global Offered
Certificate, if a Certificate Owner holding a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate wishes at any time to
exchange its interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate for an interest in a Regulation S Global Offered Certificate, or to
transfer its interest in the 144A Book-Entry Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest
in the Regulation S Global Offered Certificate, the Certificateholder may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository,
give directions for the Certificate Registrar to exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer of the interest for
an equivalent beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Offered Certificate. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar of
(A) instructions given in accordance with the Depository's procedures from a Depository Participant or from the Certificateholder, as
the case may be, directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Regulation S
Global Offered Certificate in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate to be exchanged
or transferred, (B) a written order given in accordance with the Depository's procedures containing information regarding the account
of the depositaries for Euroclear or Clearstream or another Depository Participant, as the case may be, to be credited with the
increase and the name of the account and (C) certificates in the forms of Exhibits Eight and Nine, respectively, given by the
proposed transferee and the Certificate Owner of the interest, the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce the
Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered
Certificate to be so exchanged or transferred and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository, concurrently with the
reduction, to increase the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Offered Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or
cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in the instructions a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global
Offered Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance of the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate.
(vii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5.02(g), the Underwriter may exchange beneficial interests in the
Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificates held by it for interests in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificates only after
delivery by the Underwriter of instructions for the exchange substantially in the form of Exhibit Ten. Upon receipt of the
instructions provided in the preceding sentence, the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce the principal
amount of the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificate to be so transferred and shall instruct the Depository to increase
the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate and credit or cause to be credited to the account of the placement
agent a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Offered Certificate having a principal amount equal to the amount by which the
principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S Global Offered Certificate was reduced upon the transfer pursuant to the instructions
provided in the first sentence of this clause (vii).
(viii) If a transfer of a Class SB Certificate which is a Definitive Certificate is to be made, the Trustee shall require a written
Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company that such transfer may be made
pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made
pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Trust Fund, the Company or the Master
Servicer.
(h) (See Section 5.02(h) of the Standard Terms)
(i) The Holder of a Class SB Certificate desiring to effect any transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition shall, and
does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Company, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar against any liability
that may result if the transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement.

applicable, shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to make the payments to the
Certificateholders in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 4.02, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.

as applicable, an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee or Supplemental Interest
Trust Trustee, as applicable, that such Paying Agent shall hold all sums held by it for the payment to the Certificateholders in
trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be distributed to such Certificateholders.

Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertake to perform such duties and only
such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or
waived), the Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee and Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers

resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee, Grantor

this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. The Trustee, Grantor
Trust Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable, shall notify the Certificateholders of any such documents which

forwarded by the Trustee pursuant to Sections 4.03, 4.06, 7.03 and 10.01. The Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee and Supplemental

reasonably request from time to time for the Master Servicer to fulfill its duties as set forth in this Agreement. The Trustee,
Grantor Trust Trustee and Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee covenant and agree that each shall perform its respective obligations
hereunder in a manner so as to maintain the status of any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement as a REMIC under
the REMIC Provisions and (subject to Section 10.01(f)) to prevent the imposition of any federal, state or local income, prohibited
transaction, contribution or other tax on the Trust Fund or any Grantor Trust to the extent that maintaining such status and avoiding
such taxes are reasonably within the control of the Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee and are
reasonably within the scope of their respective duties under this Agreement.
(c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee or Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable, from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own
willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Events of
Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee and Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee, as applicable, shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee or
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee 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, Grantor Trust
Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee or
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, the Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee 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, Grantor Trust Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable, by the Company or the Master Servicer
and which on their face, do not contradict the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall not be personally liable
for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee or
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee or Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) The Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee and Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall not 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
Certificateholders of any Class holding Certificates which evidence, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than
25% as to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or
power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement;
(iv) The Trustee (in all its capacities) shall not be charged with knowledge of any default (other than a
default in payment to the Trustee) specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01 of the Standard Terms or an Event of Default
under clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) of Section 7.01 of the Standard Terms unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and
working in the Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such failure or event or the Trustee receives written notice of
such failure or event at its Corporate Trust Office from the Master Servicer, the Company or any Certificateholder; and
(v) Except to the extent provided in Section 7.02 of the Standard Terms, no provision in this Agreement shall
require the Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable, to expend or risk its own funds
(including, without limitation, the making of any Advance) or otherwise incur any personal financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties as Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable, hereunder, or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable,
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it.
(d) The Trustee shall timely pay, from its own funds, the amount of any and all federal, state and local taxes imposed
on the Trust Fund or its assets or transactions including, without limitation, (A) "prohibited transaction" penalty taxes as defined
in Section 860F of the Code, if, when and as the same shall be due and payable, (B) any tax on contributions to a REMIC after the
Closing Date imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code and (C) any tax on "net income from foreclosure property" as defined in Section
860G(c) of the Code, but only if such taxes arise out of a breach by the Trustee of its obligations hereunder, which breach
constitutes negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee.
SECTION 8.02. CERTAIN MATTERS AFFECTING THE TRUSTEE, GRANTOR TRUST TRUSTEE AND SUPPLEMENTAL INTEREST TRUST TRUSTEE.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable, may rely 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) The Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable, 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) The Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable, shall be under no
obligation to exercise any of the trusts 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, pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee or Supplemental Interest
Trust Trustee, as applicable, reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred
therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default (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 investor would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of such investor's own affairs;
(iv) The Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable, shall not 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 an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiver of all Events of
Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not 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
document, unless requested in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage
Interests, aggregating not less than 50%; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee 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, not
reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable
indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall
be paid by the Master Servicer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and otherwise by the Certificateholder
requesting the investigation;
(vi) The Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, as applicable, may execute any
of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys; and
(vii) To the extent authorized under the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, each Holder of a Class
R Certificate hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Trustee to be its attorney-in-fact for purposes of signing any Tax
Returns required to be filed on behalf of the Trust Fund. The Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust Fund and deliver to the
Master Servicer in a timely manner any Tax Returns prepared by or on behalf of the Master Servicer that the Trustee is required to
sign as determined by the Master Servicer pursuant to applicable federal, state or local tax laws, provided that the Master Servicer
shall indemnify the Trustee for signing any such Tax Returns that contain errors or omissions.
(b) Following the issuance of the Certificates, the Trustee shall not accept any contribution of assets to the Trust
Fund unless (subject to Section 10.01(f)) it shall have obtained or been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
contribution will not (i) cause any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time

one copy to the successor trustee. In addition, in the event that the Company determines that the Trustee, Grantor Trust Trustee or

required to be distributed hereunder, if such amount is held by the Trustee or its Paying Agent (other than the Master Servicer or
the Company) or the Grantor Trust Trustee for distribution or (ii) to otherwise observe or perform in any material respect any of its
covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder, and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 5 days (in respect of

certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee, successor grantor trust trustee and successor supplemental interest trust
trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance (i) such successor trustee shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 8.06, and (ii) such successor trustee, successor grantor trust trustee and successor supplemental interest
trust trustee shall be the same Person.

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION OR OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF ALL CERTIFICATES
SECTION 9.01. OPTIONAL PURCHASE BY THE MASTER SERVICER OF ALL CERTIFICATES; TERMINATION UPON PURCHASE BY THE MASTER
SERVICER OR LIQUIDATION OF ALL MORTGAGE LOANS.
(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee created hereby in respect of the Certificates (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments after the
Final Distribution Date to Certificateholders and the obligation of the Company to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth)
shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Trustee on the Final Distribution Date pursuant to this Article IX
following the earlier of:
(i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure
of any Mortgage Loan, or
(ii) at the option of the Master Servicer, the purchase of all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund at a price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan (or, if less than such unpaid principal balance, the fair market value of the related underlying property of such Mortgage Loan
with respect to Mortgage Loans as to which title has been acquired if such fair market value is less than such unpaid principal
balance) (and if such purchase is made by the Master Servicer only, net of any unreimbursed Advances attributable to principal) on
the day of repurchase plus accrued interest thereon at the Net Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of any
Modified Mortgage Loan) to, but not including, the first day of the month in which such repurchase price is distributed,
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; and provided further, that the purchase price set forth above shall be increased as is necessary, as determined by
the Master Servicer, to avoid disqualification of any REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC.
The purchase price paid by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.01(a)(ii) shall also include any amounts owed by
Residential Funding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement in respect of any liability, penalty or
expense that resulted from a breach of the representation and warranty set forth in clause (xlvii) of Section 4 of the Assignment
Agreement that remains unpaid on the date of such purchase.
The right of the Master Servicer to purchase all the assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (ii) above is conditioned
upon the Pool Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group as of the Distribution Date preceding the Final
Distribution Date, prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, being less than ten percent of the
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Loan Group.
If such right is exercised by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been reimbursed for the full
amount of any unreimbursed Advances theretofore made by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans. In addition, the Master Servicer
shall provide to the Trustee the certification required by Section 3.15 and the Trustee and any Custodian shall, promptly following
payment of the purchase price, release to the Master Servicer the Custodial Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans being purchased.
In addition to the foregoing, on any Distribution Date following the Distribution Date on which the Pool Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group, prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, is
less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Loan Group, the Master Servicer shall have
the right, at its option, to purchase the Certificates in whole, but not in part, at a price equal to the outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance of such Certificates plus the sum of Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for the related Interest Accrual Period
and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest, but not including any current Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, Relief Act
Shortfalls or Basis Risk Shortfalls, as applicable, or reimbursement of the principal portion of any Realized Losses previously
allocated thereto that remain unreimbursed. If the Master Servicer exercises this right to purchase the outstanding Certificates,
the Master Servicer will promptly terminate the respective obligations and responsibilities created hereby in respect of the
Certificates pursuant to this Article IX.
(b) The Master Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee
not less than 40 days' prior notice of the Distribution Date on which the Master Servicer anticipates that the final distribution
will be made to Certificateholders (whether as a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the assets of
the Trust Fund or otherwise) or on which the Master Servicer anticipates that the Certificates will be purchased (as a result of the
exercise by the Master Servicer to purchase the outstanding Certificates). Notice of any termination specifying the anticipated
Final Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the Certificateholders may
surrender their Certificates to the Trustee (if so required by the terms hereof) for payment of the final distribution and
cancellation or notice of any purchase of the outstanding Certificates, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Holders may
surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment, shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer (if it is exercising its
right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund or to purchase the outstanding Certificates), or by the Trustee (in any other case) by
letter. Such notice shall be prepared by the Master Servicer (if it is exercising its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund
or to purchase the outstanding Certificates), or by the Trustee (in any other case) and mailed by the Trustee to the
Certificateholders not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final
distribution specifying:
(i) the anticipated Final Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates is anticipated to be
made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein designated where required
pursuant to this Agreement or, in the case of the purchase by the Master Servicer of the outstanding Certificates, the Distribution
Date on which such purchase is to be made,
(ii) the amount of any such final payment, or in the case of the purchase of the outstanding Certificates, the
purchase price, in either case, if known, and
(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, and in the case of
the Senior Certificates, or in the case of all of the Certificates in connection with the exercise by the Master Servicer of its
right to purchase the Certificates, that payment will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office
or agency of the Trustee therein specified.
If the Master Servicer or Trustee is obligated to give notice to Certificateholders as aforesaid, it shall give such notice
to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders and, if the Master Servicer is exercising its
rights to purchase the outstanding Certificates, it shall give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to
Certificateholders. As a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund, the
Master Servicer shall deposit in the Certificate Account, before the Final Distribution Date in immediately available funds an amount
equal to the purchase price for the assets of the Trust Fund, computed as provided above. As a result of the exercise by the Master
Servicer of its right to purchase the outstanding Certificates, the Master Servicer shall deposit in an Eligible Account, established
by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and separate from the Certificate Account in the name of the Trustee in trust for the
registered holders of the Certificates, before the Distribution Date on which such purchase is to occur in immediately available
funds an amount equal to the purchase price for the Certificates, computed as above provided, and provide notice of such deposit to
the Trustee. The Trustee will withdraw from such account the amount specified in subsection (c) below. The Master Servicer shall
provide to the Trustee written notification of any change to the anticipated Final Distribution Date as soon as practicable. If the
Trust Fund is not terminated on the anticipated Final Distribution Date, for any reason, the Trustee shall promptly mail notice
thereof to each affected Certificateholder.
(c) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders thereof, the Trustee and the Grantor
Trust Trustee, as applicable, shall distribute to such Certificateholders (i) the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution
Date, if not in connection with the Master Servicer's election to repurchase the Mortgage Loans or the outstanding Certificates, or
(ii) if the Master Servicer elected to so repurchase the Mortgage Loans or the outstanding Certificates, an amount equal to the price
paid pursuant to Section 9.01(a), as follows: first, to the Class A Certificates and Class AXP Certificates, on a pro rata basis,
the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance thereof, plus Accrued Certificate Interest for the related Interest Accrual Period
thereon and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest; second, to the Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates, in the
order of their payment priority, the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance thereof, plus Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for
the related Interest Accrual Period and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest; and third, to the Class SB Certificates
and Class R Certificates, all remaining amounts.

(f) It is intended that the conveyance by the Company to the Trustee of the
Mortgage Loans as provided for in this Section 2.01 be and the Uncertificated
REMIC Regular Interests, if any (as provided for in Section 2.06), be
construed as a sale by the Company to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and
any Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. Further, it is not intended that such conveyance be
deemed to be a pledge of the Mortgage Loans and any Uncertificated REMIC
Regular Interests by the Company to the Trustee to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Company. Nonetheless, (a) this Agreement is intended to be
and hereby is a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of
the New York Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any
other applicable jurisdiction; (b) the conveyance provided for in Section
2.01 shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, (1) a grant by the Company to the
Trustee of a security interest in all of the Company's right (including the
power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, in and to any and all general intangibles, payment
intangibles, accounts, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit
accounts, certificates of deposit, goods, letters of credit, advices of
credit and investment property and other property of whatever kind or
description now existing or hereafter acquired consisting of, arising from or
relating to any of the following: (A) the Mortgage Loans, including (i) with
respect to each Cooperative Loan, the related Mortgage Note, Security
Agreement, Assignment of Proprietary Lease, Cooperative Stock Certificate and
Cooperative Lease, (ii) with respect to each Sharia Mortgage Loan, the
related Sharia Mortgage Loan Security Instrument, Sharia Mortgage Loan
Co-Ownership Agreement, Obligation to Pay and Assignment Agreement and
Amendment of Security Instrument, (iii) with respect to each Mortgage Loan
other than a Cooperative Loan or a Sharia Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage
Note and Mortgage, and (iv) any insurance policies and all other documents in
the related Mortgage File, (B) all amounts payable pursuant to the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with the terms thereof, (C) any Uncertificated REMIC
Regular Interests and (D) all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or
involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other
property, including without limitation all amounts from time to time held or
invested in the Certificate Account or the Custodial Account, whether in the
form of cash, instruments, securities or other property and (2) an assignment
by the Company to the Trustee of any security interest in any and all of
Residential Funding's right (including the power to convey title thereto),
title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the
property described in the foregoing clauses (1)(A), (B), (C) and (D) granted
by Residential Funding to the Company pursuant to the Assignment Agreement;
(c) the possession by the Trustee, any Custodian on behalf of the Trustee or
any other agent of the Trustee of Mortgage Notes or such other items of
property as constitute instruments, money, payment intangibles, negotiable
documents, goods, deposit accounts, letters of credit, advices of credit,
investment property, certificated securities or chattel paper shall be deemed
to be "possession by the secured party," or possession by a purchaser or a
person designated by such secured party, for purposes of perfecting the
security interest pursuant to the Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code and the
Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction as in effect
(including, without limitation, Sections 8-106, 9-313, 9-314 and 9-106
thereof); and (d) 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, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents of, or
persons holding for (as applicable) the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting
such security interest under applicable law.
The Company and, at the Company's direction, Residential Funding and
the Trustee shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such
reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were
determined to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, any
Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests and the other property described
above, such security interest would be determined to be a perfected security
interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as
such throughout the term of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Trustee not
less than 15 days prior to any filing date and, the Trustee shall forward for
filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the
Company, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original
filings necessary under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any
jurisdiction to perfect the Trustee's security interest in or lien on the
Mortgage Loans and any Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests, as evidenced
by an Officers' Certificate of the Company, including without limitation (x)
continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned
by (1) any change of name of Residential Funding, the Company or the Trustee
(such preparation and filing shall be at the expense of the Trustee, if
occasioned by a change in the Trustee's name), (2) any change of type or
jurisdiction of organization of Residential Funding or the Company, (3) any
transfer of any interest of Residential Funding or the Company in any
Mortgage Loan or (4) any transfer of any interest of Residential Funding or
the Company in any Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interest.
(g) The Master Servicer hereby acknowledges the receipt by it of the
Initial Monthly Payment Fund. The Master Servicer shall hold such Initial
Monthly Payment Fund in the Custodial Account and shall include such Initial
Monthly Payment Fund in the Available Distribution Amount for the initial
Distribution Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Initial Monthly Payment Fund shall not be an asset of any REMIC. To the
extent that the Initial Monthly Payment Fund constitutes a reserve fund for
federal income tax purposes, (1) it shall be an outside reserve fund and not
an asset of any REMIC, (2) it shall be owned by the Seller and (3) amounts
transferred by any REMIC to the Initial Monthly Payment Fund shall be treated
as transferred to the Seller or any successor, all within the meaning of
Section 1.860G-2(h) of the Treasury Regulations.
(h) The Company agrees that the sale of each Pledged Asset Loan pursuant to
this Agreement will also constitute the assignment, sale, setting-over,
transfer and conveyance to the Trustee, without recourse (but subject to the
Company's covenants, representations and warranties specifically provided
herein), of all of the Company's obligations and all of the Company's right,
title and interest in, to and under, whether now existing or hereafter
acquired as owner of the Mortgage Loan with respect to any and all money,
securities, security entitlements, accounts, general intangibles, payment
intangibles, instruments, documents, deposit accounts, certificates of
deposit, commodities contracts, and other investment property and other
property of whatever kind or description consisting of, arising from or
related to (i) the Assigned Contracts, (ii) all rights, powers and remedies
of the Company as owner of such Mortgage Loan under or in connection with the
Assigned Contracts, whether arising under the terms of such Assigned
Contracts, by statute, at law or in equity, or otherwise arising out of any
default by the Mortgagor under or in connection with the Assigned Contracts,
including all rights to exercise any election or option or to make any
decision or determination or to give or receive any notice, consent, approval
or waiver thereunder, (iii) the Pledged Amounts and all money, securities,
security entitlements, accounts, general intangibles, payment intangibles,
instruments, documents, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit,
commodities contracts, and other investment property and other property of
whatever kind or description and all cash and non-cash proceeds of the sale,
exchange, or redemption of, and all stock or conversion rights, rights to
subscribe, liquidation dividends or preferences, stock dividends, rights to
interest, dividends, earnings, income, rents, issues, profits, interest
payments or other distributions of cash or other property that secures a
Pledged Asset Loan, (iv) all documents, books and records concerning the
foregoing (including all computer programs, tapes, disks and related items
containing any such information) and (v) all insurance proceeds (including
proceeds from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities
Investor Protection Corporation or any other insurance company) of any of the
foregoing or replacements thereof or substitutions therefor, proceeds of
proceeds and the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of any thereof. The
foregoing transfer, sale, assignment and conveyance does not constitute and
is not intended to result in the creation, or an assumption by the Trustee,
of any obligation of the Company, or any other person in connection with the
Pledged Assets or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto,
including any obligation to the Mortgagor, other than as owner of the
Mortgage Loan.
Section 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee.
The Trustee acknowledges receipt (or, with respect to Mortgage Loans
subject to a Custodial Agreement, and based solely upon a receipt or
certification executed by the Custodian, receipt by the respective Custodian
as the duly appointed agent of the Trustee) of the documents referred to in
Section 2.01(b)(i) above (except that for purposes of such acknowledgement
only, a Mortgage Note may be endorsed in blank) and declares that it, or the
Custodian as its agent, holds and will hold such documents and the other
documents constituting a part of the Custodial Files delivered to it, or a
Custodian as its agent, and the rights of Residential Funding with respect to
any Pledged Assets, Additional Collateral and the Surety Bond assigned to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01, in trust for the use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee or Custodian (the
Custodian being so obligated under a Custodial Agreement) agrees, for the
benefit of Certificateholders, to review each Custodial File delivered to it
pursuant to Section 2.01(b) within 45 days after the Closing Date to
ascertain that all required documents (specifically as set forth in Section
2.01(b)), have been executed and received, and that such documents relate to
the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, as supplemented,
that have been conveyed to it, and to deliver to the Trustee a certificate
(the "Interim Certification") to the effect that all documents required to be
delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(b) above have been executed and received
and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions listed on Schedule A
attached to such Interim Certification. Upon delivery of the Custodial Files
by the Company or the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt
(or, with respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a Custodial Agreement, and
based solely upon a receipt or certification executed by the Custodian,
receipt by the respective Custodian as the duly appointed agent of the
Trustee) of the documents referred to in Section 2.01(c) above.
If the Custodian, as the Trustee's agent, finds any document or
documents constituting a part of a Custodial File to be missing or defective,
the Trustee shall promptly so notify the Master Servicer and the Company.
Pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian will notify
the Master Servicer, the Company and the Trustee of any such omission or
defect found by it in respect of any Custodial File held by it in respect of
the items reviewed by it pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. If such
omission or defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify Residential
Funding of such omission or defect and request Residential Funding to correct
or cure such omission or defect within 60 days from the date the Master
Servicer was notified of such omission or defect and, if Residential Funding
does not correct or cure such omission or defect within such period, require
Residential Funding to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at its
Purchase Price, within 90 days from the date the Master Servicer was notified
of such omission or defect; provided that if the omission or defect would
cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within
90 days from the date such breach was discovered. The Purchase Price for any
such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Custodial
Account maintained by it pursuant to Section 3.07 and, upon receipt by the
Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing
Officer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may
be, shall release the contents of any related Mortgage File in its possession
to the owner of such Mortgage Loan (or such owners' designee) and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared
by the Master Servicer, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary
to vest in Residential Funding or its designee any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto and thereafter such Mortgage Loan shall not be part of the
Trust Fund. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of Residential
Funding to so cure or purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which a material and
adverse defect in or omission of a constituent document exists shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect or omission available to
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
Section 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants
of the Master Servicer and the Company.
(a) The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholders that as of the Closing Date:
(i) The Master Servicer is a limited liability company duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws governing its
creation and existence and is or will be in compliance with the laws of
each state in which any Mortgaged Property is located to the extent
necessary to ensure the enforceability of each Mortgage Loan in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Master Servicer and
its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will
not violate the Master Servicer's Certificate of Formation or Limited
Liability Company Agreement or constitute a material default (or an
event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a
material default) under, or result in the material breach of, any
material contract, agreement or other instrument to which the Master
Servicer is a party or which may be applicable to the Master Servicer
or any of its assets;
(iii) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by
the Trustee and the Company, constitutes a valid, legal and binding
obligation of the Master Servicer, enforceable against it in accordance
with the terms hereof subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and to general principles of equity,
regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law;
(iv) The Master Servicer is not in default with respect to any order or
decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal,
state, municipal or governmental agency, which default might have
consequences that would materially and adversely affect the condition
(financial or other) or operations of the Master Servicer or its
properties or might have consequences that would materially adversely
affect its performance hereunder;
(v) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Master Servicer's
knowledge, threatened against the Master Servicer which would prohibit
its entering into this Agreement or performing its obligations under
this Agreement;
(vi) The Master Servicer will comply in all material respects in the
performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and
requirements of each insurer under each Required Insurance Policy;
(vii) No information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished in
writing or report delivered to the Company, any Affiliate of the
Company or the Trustee by the Master Servicer will, to the knowledge of
the Master Servicer, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit a material fact necessary to make the information, certificate,
statement or report not misleading;
(viii) The Master Servicer has examined each existing, and will examine
each new, Subservicing Agreement and is or will be familiar with the
terms thereof. The terms of each existing Subservicing Agreement and
each designated Subservicer are acceptable to the Master Servicer and
any new Subservicing Agreements will comply with the provisions of
Section 3.02; and
(ix) The Master Servicer is a member of MERS in good standing, and will
comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS
in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are
registered with MERS.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth
in this Section 2.03(a) shall survive delivery of the respective Custodial
Files to the Trustee or the Custodian.
Upon discovery by either the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee
or the Custodian of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in
this Section 2.03(a) which materially and adversely affects the interests of
the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties (the Custodian
being so obligated under a Custodial Agreement). Within 90 days of its
discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach, the Master Servicer shall
either (i) cure such breach in all material respects or (ii) to the extent
that such breach is with respect to a Mortgage Loan or a related document,
purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price and in
the manner set forth in Section 2.02; provided that if the omission or defect
would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as
defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must
occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered. The
obligation of the Master Servicer to cure such breach or to so purchase such
Mortgage Loan shall constitute the sole remedy in respect of a breach of a
representation and warranty set forth in this Section 2.03(a) available to
the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
(b) Representations and warranties relating to the Mortgage Loans are set
forth in Section 2.03(b) of the Series Supplement.
Section 2.04. Representations and Warranties of Residential Funding.
The Company, as assignee of Residential Funding under the Assignment
Agreement, hereby assigns to the Trustee for the benefit of
Certificateholders all of its right, title and interest in respect of the
Assignment Agreement applicable to a Mortgage Loan. Insofar as the
Assignment Agreement relates to the representations and warranties made by
Residential Funding in respect of such Mortgage Loan and any remedies
provided thereunder for any breach of such representations and warranties,
such right, title and interest may be enforced by the Master Servicer on
behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. Upon the discovery by the
Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian of a breach of any
of the representations and warranties made in the Assignment Agreement
(which, for purposes hereof, will be deemed to include any other cause giving
rise to a repurchase obligation under the Assignment Agreement) in respect of
any Mortgage Loan which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other parties (the Custodian being so
obligated under a Custodial Agreement). The Master Servicer shall promptly
notify Residential Funding of such breach and request that Residential
Funding either (i) cure such breach in all material respects within 90 days
from the date the Master Servicer was notified of such breach or (ii)
purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price and in
the manner set forth in Section 2.02; provided that Residential Funding shall
have the option to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
for such Mortgage Loan if such substitution occurs within two years following
the Closing Date; provided that if the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan
to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code, any such cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days
from the date the breach was discovered. If a breach of the Compliance With
Laws Representation has given rise to the obligation to repurchase or
substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement,
then the Master Servicer shall request that Residential Funding pay to the
Trust Fund, concurrently with and in addition to the remedies provided in the
preceding sentence, an amount equal to any liability, penalty or expense that
was actually incurred and paid out of or on behalf of the Trust Fund, and
that directly resulted from such breach, or if incurred and paid by the Trust
Fund thereafter, concurrently with such payment. In the event that
Residential Funding elects to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04,
Residential Funding shall deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian for the
benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, the original Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, an
Assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form, if required pursuant to
Section 2.01, and such other documents and agreements as are required by
Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.01.
No substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination
Date for such month. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of
the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Master Servicer and remitted by
the Master Servicer to Residential Funding on the next succeeding
Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to the
Certificateholders will include the Monthly Payment due on a Deleted Mortgage
Loan for such month and thereafter Residential Funding shall be entitled to
retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The
Master Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage Loan
Schedule, and, if the Deleted Mortgage Loan was a Discount Mortgage Loan, the
Schedule of Discount Fractions, for the benefit of the Certificateholders to
reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Master Servicer shall
deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule, and, if the Deleted Mortgage Loan
was a Discount Mortgage Loan, the amended Schedule of Discount Fractions, to
the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and the related
Subservicing Agreement in all respects, Residential Funding shall be deemed
to have made the representations and warranties with respect to the Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan contained in the related Assignment Agreement, and
the Company and the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have made with respect
to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of
substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this
Section 2.04, in Section 2.03 hereof and in Section 4 of the Assignment
Agreement, and the Master Servicer shall be obligated to repurchase or
substitute for any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan as to which a
Repurchase Event (as defined in the Assignment Agreement) has occurred
pursuant to Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement.
In connection with the substitution of one or more Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer
will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance
of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of
substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such
Deleted Mortgage Loans (in each case after application of the principal
portion of the Monthly Payments due in the month of substitution that are to
be distributed to the Certificateholders in the month of substitution).
Residential Funding shall deposit the amount of such shortfall into the
Custodial Account on the day of substitution, without any reimbursement
therefor. Residential Funding shall give notice in writing to the Trustee of
such event, which notice shall be accompanied by an Officers' Certificate as
to the calculation of such shortfall and (subject to Section 10.01(f)) by an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a)
any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, 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 portion of any REMIC to fail
to qualify as such at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of Residential Funding
to cure such breach or purchase, or to substitute for, a Mortgage Loan as to
which such a breach has occurred and is continuing and to make any additional
payments required under the Assignment Agreement in connection with a breach
of the Compliance With Laws Representation shall constitute the sole remedy
respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee on
behalf of Certificateholders. If the Master Servicer is Residential Funding,
then the Trustee shall also have the right to give the notification and
require the purchase or substitution provided for in the second preceding
paragraph in the event of such a breach of a representation or warranty made
by Residential Funding in the Assignment Agreement. In connection with the
purchase of or substitution for any such Mortgage Loan by Residential
Funding, the Trustee shall assign to Residential Funding all of the Trustee's
right, title and interest in respect of the Assignment Agreement applicable
to such Mortgage Loan.
Section 2.05. Execution and Authentication of Certificates/Issuance of
Certificates Evidencing Interests in REMIC I Certificates.
As provided in Section 2.05 of the Series Supplement.
Section 2.06. Conveyance of Uncertificated REMIC I and REMIC II Regular
Interests; Acceptance by the Trustee.
As provided in Section 2.06 of the Series Supplement.
Section 2.07. Issuance of Certificates Evidencing Interests in REMIC II.
As provided in Section 2.07 of the Series Supplement.
Section 2.08. Purposes and Powers of the Trust.
The purpose of the trust, as created hereunder, is to engage in the
following activities:
(a) to sell the Certificates to the Company in exchange for the Mortgage
Loans;
(b) to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement;
(c) to engage in those activities that are necessary, suitable or
convenient to accomplish the foregoing or are incidental thereto or connected
therewith; and
(d) subject to compliance with this Agreement, to engage in such other
activities as may be required in connection with conservation of the Trust
Fund and the making of distributions to the Certificateholders.
The trust is hereby authorized to engage in the foregoing
activities. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.01, the trust
shall not engage in any activity other than in connection with the foregoing
or other than as required or authorized by the terms of this Agreement while
any Certificate is outstanding, and this Section 2.08 may not be amended,
without the consent of the Certificateholders evidencing a majority of the
aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01. Master Servicer to Act as Servicer.
(a) The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans
and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through Subservicers
as provided in Section 3.02, to do any and all things which it may deem
necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its
own name or in the name of a Subservicer is hereby authorized and empowered
by the Trustee when the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may
be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment, to execute and deliver, on
behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or
discharge, or of consent to assumption or modification in connection with a
proposed conveyance, or of assignment of any Mortgage and Mortgage Note in
connection with the repurchase of a Mortgage Loan and all other comparable
instruments, or with respect to the modification or re-recording of a
Mortgage for the purpose of correcting the Mortgage, the subordination of the
lien of the Mortgage in favor of a public utility company or government
agency or unit with powers of eminent domain, the taking of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure, the commencement, prosecution or completion of judicial or
non-judicial foreclosure, the conveyance of a Mortgaged Property to the
related Insurer, the acquisition of any property acquired by foreclosure or
deed in lieu of foreclosure, or the management, marketing and conveyance of
any property acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties.
The Master Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on
behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the
name of the Subservicer, when the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, as the
case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment to register any
Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R)System, or cause the removal from the registration
of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R)System, to execute and deliver, on behalf
of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all
instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to
such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as
nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. Any expenses
incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence
shall be borne by the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 3.16(c),
with no right of reimbursement; provided, that if, as a result of MERS
discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with
the MERS System, it becomes necessary to remove any Mortgage Loan from
registration on the MERS System and to arrange for the assignment of the
related Mortgages to the Trustee, then any related expenses shall be
reimbursable to the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject
to Section 3.07(a), the Master Servicer shall not permit any modification
with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would both constitute a sale or
exchange of such Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code
and any proposed, temporary or final regulations promulgated thereunder
(other than in connection with a proposed conveyance or assumption of such
Mortgage Loan that is treated as a Principal Prepayment in Full pursuant to
Section 3.13(d) hereof) and cause any REMIC formed under the Series
Supplement to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code. The Trustee shall
furnish the Master Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents
necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to service and
administer the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall not be liable for any
action taken by the Master Servicer or any Subservicer pursuant to such
powers of attorney. In servicing and administering any Nonsubserviced
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent not inconsistent with
this Agreement, comply with the Program Guide as if it were the originator of
such Mortgage Loan and had retained the servicing rights and obligations in
respect thereof. In connection with servicing and administering the Mortgage
Loans, the Master Servicer and any Affiliate of the Master Servicer (i) may
perform services such as appraisals and brokerage services that are not
customarily provided by servicers of mortgage loans, and shall be entitled to
reasonable compensation therefor in accordance with Section 3.10 and (ii)
may, at its own discretion and on behalf of the Trustee, obtain credit
information in the form of a "credit score" from a credit repository.
(b) All costs incurred by the Master Servicer or by Subservicers in
effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the properties
subject to the Mortgage Loans shall not, for the purpose of calculating
monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing
under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such
Mortgage Loan so permit, and such costs shall be recoverable to the extent
permitted by Section 3.10(a)(ii).
(c) The Master Servicer may enter into one or more agreements in connection
with the offering of pass-through certificates evidencing interests in one or
more of the Certificates providing for the payment by the Master Servicer of
amounts received by the Master Servicer as servicing compensation hereunder
and required to cover certain Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Mortgage
Loans, which payment obligation will thereafter be an obligation of the
Master Servicer hereunder.
Section 3.02. Subservicing Agreements Between Master Servicer and
Subservicers; Enforcement of Subservicers' and Sellers'
Obligations.
(a) The Master Servicer may continue in effect Subservicing Agreements
entered into by Residential Funding and Subservicers prior to the execution
and delivery of this Agreement, and may enter into new Subservicing
Agreements with Subservicers, for the servicing and administration of all or
some of the Mortgage Loans. Each Subservicer of a Mortgage Loan shall be
entitled to receive and retain, as provided in the related Subservicing
Agreement and in Section 3.07, the related Subservicing Fee from payments of
interest received on such Mortgage Loan after payment of all amounts required
to be remitted to the Master Servicer in respect of such Mortgage Loan. For
any Mortgage Loan that is a Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to receive and retain an amount equal to the Subservicing
Fee from payments of interest. Unless the context otherwise requires,
references in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master
Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be taken
by a Subservicer on behalf of the Master Servicer. Each Subservicing
Agreement will be upon such terms and conditions as are generally required or
permitted by the Program Guide and are not inconsistent with this Agreement
and as the Master Servicer and the Subservicer have agreed. A representative
form of Subservicing Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit E. With the
approval of the Master Servicer, a Subservicer may delegate its servicing
obligations to third-party servicers, but such Subservicer will remain
obligated under the related Subservicing Agreement. The Master Servicer and
a Subservicer may enter into amendments thereto or a different form of
Subservicing Agreement, and the form referred to or included in the Program
Guide is merely provided for information and shall not be deemed to limit in
any respect the discretion of the Master Servicer to modify or enter into
different Subservicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such
amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the
provisions of either this Agreement or the Program Guide in a manner which
would materially and adversely affect the interests of the
Certificateholders. The Program Guide and any other Subservicing Agreement
entered into between the Master Servicer and any Subservicer shall require
the Subservicer to accurately and fully report its borrower credit files to
each of the Credit Repositories in a timely manner.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer, for
the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall use its best
reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of each Subservicer under the
related Subservicing Agreement and of each Seller under the related Seller's
Agreement insofar as the Company's rights with respect to Seller's obligation
has been assigned to the Trustee hereunder, to the extent that the
non-performance of any such Seller's obligation would have a material and
adverse effect on a Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the
obligation to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of defective documentation,
as described in Section 2.02, or on account of a breach of a representation
or warranty, as described in Section 2.04. Such enforcement, including,
without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of
Subservicing Agreements or Seller's Agreements, as appropriate, 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 would employ in its
good faith business judgment and which are normal and usual in its general
mortgage servicing activities. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of
such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only
(i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement to the extent, if
any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related
Mortgage Loan or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or
attorneys fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.
For purposes of clarification only, the parties agree that the foregoing is
not intended to, and does not, limit the ability of the Master Servicer to be
reimbursed for expenses that are incurred in connection with the enforcement
of a Seller's obligations (insofar as the Company's rights with respect to
such Seller's obligations have been assigned to the Trustee hereunder) and
are reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(viii).
Section 3.03. Successor Subservicers.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing
Agreement that may exist in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
Subservicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this
Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination of any
Subservicing Agreement by the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, the Master
Servicer shall either act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loan or enter
into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which will be
bound by the terms of the related Subservicing Agreement. If the Master
Servicer or any Affiliate of Residential Funding acts as servicer, it will
not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the
Subservicer which it replaces. If the Master Servicer enters into a
Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer, the Master Servicer
shall use reasonable efforts to have the successor Subservicer assume
liability for the representations and warranties made by the terminated
Subservicer in respect of the related Mortgage Loans and, in the event of any
such assumption by the successor Subservicer, the Master Servicer may, in the
exercise of its business judgment, release the terminated Subservicer from
liability for such representations and warranties.
Section 3.04. Liability of the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of
this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master
Servicer or a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer
or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the
Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without
diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing
Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the
Subservicer or the Company and to the same extent and under the same terms
and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and
administering the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to
enter into any agreement with a Subservicer or Seller for indemnification of
the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed
to limit or modify such indemnification.
Section 3.05. No Contractual Relationship Between Subservicer and
Trustee or Certificateholders.
Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a
Subservicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed
to be between the Subservicer and the Master Servicer alone and the Trustee
and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have
no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the
Subservicer in its capacity as such except as set forth in Section 3.06. The
foregoing provision shall not in any way limit a Subservicer's obligation to
cure an omission or defect or to repurchase a Mortgage Loan as referred to in
Section 2.02 hereof.
Section 3.06. Assumption or Termination of Subservicing Agreements by
Trustee.
(a) If the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the master
servicer (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee, its
designee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement that may
have been entered into. The Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer
for the Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's
interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to the
Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if the Subservicing Agreement
had been assigned to the assuming party except that the Master Servicer shall
not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the
Subservicing Agreement.
(b) The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the
expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents
and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans
then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and
otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer
of each Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party.
Section 3.07. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments;
Deposits to Custodial Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and
shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement
and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Insurance Policy, follow
such collection procedures as it would employ in its good faith business
judgment and which are normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing
activities. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its
discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or any prepayment charge or
penalty interest in connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and
(ii) extend the Due Date for payments due on a Mortgage Loan in accordance
with the Program Guide; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall
first determine that any such waiver or extension will not impair the
coverage of any related Primary Insurance Policy or materially adversely
affect the lien of the related Mortgage. Notwithstanding anything in this
Section to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not enforce any prepayment
charge to the extent that such enforcement would violate any applicable law.
In the event of any such arrangement, the Master Servicer shall make timely
advances on the related Mortgage Loan during the scheduled period in
accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without
modification thereof by reason of such arrangements unless otherwise agreed
to by the Holders of the Classes of Certificates affected thereby; provided,
however, that no such extension shall be made if any such advance would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the
Master Servicer may also waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan
or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in
any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Master Servicer's
determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not
materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into
account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such action);
provided, however, that the Master Servicer may not modify materially or
permit any Subservicer to modify any Mortgage Loan, including without
limitation any modification that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the
payment of any principal or interest (unless in connection with the
liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan or except in connection with
prepayments to the extent that such reamortization is not inconsistent with
the terms of the Mortgage Loan), capitalize any amounts owing on the Mortgage
Loan by adding such amount to the outstanding principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan, or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan,
unless such Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Master
Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable; provided, further, that
(1) no such modification shall reduce the interest rate on a Mortgage Loan
below one-half of the Mortgage Rate as in effect on the Cut-off Date, but not
less than the sum of the rates at which the Servicing Fee and the
Subservicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan accrues plus the rate at
which the premium paid to the Certificate Insurer, if any, accrues, (2) the
final maturity date for any Mortgage Loan shall not be extended beyond the
Maturity Date, (3) the Stated Principal Balance of all Reportable Modified
Mortgage Loans subject to Servicing Modifications (measured at the time of
the Servicing Modification and after giving effect to any Servicing
Modification) can be no more than five percent of the aggregate principal
balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, unless such limit is
increased from time to time with the consent of the Rating Agencies and the
Certificate Insurer, if any. In addition, any amounts owing on a Mortgage
Loan added to the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan must be
fully amortized over the remaining term of such Mortgage Loan, and such
amounts may be added to the outstanding principal balance of a Mortgage Loan
only once during the life of such Mortgage Loan. Also, the addition of such
amounts described in the preceding sentence shall be implemented in
accordance with the Program Guide and may be implemented only by Subservicers
that have been approved by the Master Servicer for such purpose. In
connection with any Curtailment of a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer, to
the extent not inconsistent with the terms of the Mortgage Note and local law
and practice, may permit the Mortgage Loan to be reamortized such that the
Monthly Payment is recalculated as an amount that will fully amortize the
remaining Stated Principal Balance thereof by the original Maturity Date
based on the original Mortgage Rate; provided, that such re-amortization
shall not be permitted if it would constitute a reissuance of the Mortgage
Loan for federal income tax purposes, except if such reissuance is described
in Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(b)(3).
(b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Custodial Account in
which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily
basis, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following
payments and collections remitted by Subservicers or received by it in
respect of the Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in
respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the
Cut-off Date):
(i) All payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments
made by Mortgagors on the Mortgage Loans and the principal component of
any Subservicer Advance or of any REO Proceeds received in connection
with an REO Property for which an REO Disposition has occurred;
(ii) All payments on account of interest at the Adjusted Mortgage Rate on
the Mortgage Loans, including Buydown Funds, if any, and the interest
component of any Subservicer Advance or of any REO Proceeds received in
connection with an REO Property for which an REO Disposition has
occurred;
(iii) Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation Proceeds (net
of any related expenses of the Subservicer);
(iv) All proceeds of any Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to Section 2.02,
2.03, 2.04 or 4.07 (including amounts received from Residential Funding
pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement
in respect of any liability, penalty or expense that resulted from a
breach of the Compliance With Laws Representation and all amounts
required to be deposited in connection with the substitution of a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.04;
(v) Any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.07(c) or
3.21;
(vi) All amounts transferred from the Certificate Account to the Custodial
Account in accordance with Section 4.02(a);
(vii) Any amounts realized by the Subservicer and received by the Master
Servicer in respect of any Additional Collateral; and
(viii) Any amounts received by the Master Servicer in respect of Pledged
Assets.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, payments on the Mortgage Loans which are not
part of the Trust Fund (consisting of payments in respect of principal and
interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date) and, unless
otherwise set forth in the series supplement, payments or collections in the
nature of prepayment charges or late payment charges or assumption fees may
but need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Custodial Account.
In the event any amount not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account
is so deposited, the Master Servicer may at any time withdraw such amount
from the Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. The Custodial Account may contain funds that belong to one
or more trust funds created for mortgage pass-through certificates of other
series and may contain other funds respecting payments on mortgage loans
belonging to the Master Servicer or serviced or master serviced by it on
behalf of others. Notwithstanding such commingling of funds, the Master
Servicer shall keep records that accurately reflect the funds on deposit in
the Custodial Account that have been identified by it as being attributable
to the Mortgage Loans.
With respect to Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, REO Proceeds
and the proceeds of the purchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Sections
2.02, 2.03, 2.04 and 4.07 received in any calendar month, the Master Servicer
may elect to treat such amounts as included in the Available Distribution
Amount for the Distribution Date in the month of receipt, but is not
obligated to do so. If the Master Servicer so elects, such amounts will be
deemed to have been received (and any related Realized Loss shall be deemed
to have occurred) on the last day of the month prior to the receipt thereof.
(c) The Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to cause the institution
maintaining the Custodial Account to invest the funds in the Custodial
Account attributable to the Mortgage Loans in Permitted Investments which
shall mature not later than the Certificate Account Deposit Date next
following the date of such investment (with the exception of the Amount Held
for Future Distribution) and which shall not be sold or disposed of prior to
their maturities. All income and gain realized from any such investment
shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as additional servicing
compensation and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to
time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments
attributable to the investment of amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans
shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Master Servicer out of its
own funds immediately as realized without any right of reimbursement.
(d) The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and the Company of
any change in the location of the Custodial Account and the location of the
Certificate Account prior to the use thereof.
Section 3.08. Subservicing Accounts; Servicing Accounts.
(a) In those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause the
Subservicer, pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, to establish and
maintain one or more Subservicing Accounts which shall be an Eligible Account
or, if such account is not an Eligible Account, shall generally satisfy the
requirements of the Program Guide and be otherwise acceptable to the Master
Servicer and each Rating Agency. The Subservicer will be required thereby to
deposit into the Subservicing Account on a daily basis all proceeds of
Mortgage Loans received by the Subservicer, less its Subservicing Fees and
unreimbursed advances and expenses, to the extent permitted by the
Subservicing Agreement. If the Subservicing Account is not an Eligible
Account, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received such monies
upon receipt thereof by the Subservicer. The Subservicer shall not be
required to deposit in the Subservicing Account payments or collections in
the nature of prepayment charges or late charges or assumption fees. On or
before the date specified in the Program Guide, but in no event later than
the Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall cause the Subservicer,
pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, to remit to the Master Servicer for
deposit in the Custodial Account all funds held in the Subservicing Account
with respect to each Mortgage Loan serviced by such Subservicer that are
required to be remitted to the Master Servicer. The Subservicer will also be
required, pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, to advance on such
scheduled date of remittance amounts equal to any scheduled monthly
installments of principal and interest less its Subservicing Fees on any
Mortgage Loans for which payment was not received by the Subservicer. This
obligation to advance with respect to each Mortgage Loan will continue up to
and including the first of the month following the date on which the related
Mortgaged Property is sold at a foreclosure sale or is acquired by the Trust
Fund by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. All such advances received
by the Master Servicer shall be deposited promptly by it in the Custodial
Account.
(b) The Subservicer may also be required, pursuant to the Subservicing
Agreement, to remit to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Custodial
Account interest at the Adjusted Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage Rate
plus the rate per annum at which the Servicing Fee accrues in the case of a
Modified Mortgage Loan) on any Curtailment received by such Subservicer in
respect of a Mortgage Loan from the related Mortgagor during any month that
is to be applied by the Subservicer to reduce the unpaid principal balance of
the related Mortgage Loan as of the first day of such month, from the date of
application of such Curtailment to the first day of the following month. Any
amounts paid by a Subservicer pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be for
the benefit of the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation and
shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time pursuant to
Sections 3.10(a)(iv) and (v).
(c) In addition to the Custodial Account and the Certificate Account, the
Master Servicer shall for any Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, and shall cause
the Subservicers for Subserviced Mortgage Loans to, establish and maintain
one or more Servicing Accounts and deposit and retain therein all collections
from the Mortgagors (or advances from Subservicers) for the payment of taxes,
assessments, hazard insurance premiums, Primary Insurance Policy premiums, if
applicable, or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Each
Servicing Account shall satisfy the requirements for a Subservicing Account
and, to the extent permitted by the Program Guide or as is otherwise
acceptable to the Master Servicer, may also function as a Subservicing
Account. Withdrawals of amounts related to the Mortgage Loans from the
Servicing Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of taxes,
assessments, hazard insurance premiums, Primary Insurance Policy premiums, if
applicable, or comparable items, to reimburse the Master Servicer or
Subservicer out of related collections for any payments made pursuant to
Sections 3.11 (with respect to the Primary Insurance Policy) and 3.12(a)
(with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums as
may be determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required, to Mortgagors
on balances in the Servicing Account or to clear and terminate the Servicing
Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01
or in accordance with the Program Guide. As part of its servicing duties,
the Master Servicer shall, and the Subservicers will, pursuant to the
Subservicing Agreements, be required to pay to the Mortgagors interest on
funds in this account to the extent required by law.
(d) The Master Servicer shall advance the payments referred to in the
preceding subsection that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors or advanced
by the Subservicers on the date when the tax, premium or other cost for which
such payment is intended is due, but the Master Servicer shall be required so
to advance only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith judgment
of the Master Servicer, will be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of
Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.
Section 3.09. Access to Certain Documentation and
Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans.
If compliance with this Section 3.09 shall make any Class of
Certificates legal for investment by federally insured savings and loan
associations, the Master Servicer shall provide, or cause the Subservicers to
provide, to the Trustee, the Office of Thrift Supervision or the FDIC and the
supervisory agents and examiners thereof access to the documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the Office
of Thrift Supervision, such access being afforded without charge but only
upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices
designated by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall permit such
representatives to photocopy any such documentation and shall provide
equipment for that purpose at a charge reasonably approximating the cost of
such photocopying to the Master Servicer.
Section 3.10. Permitted Withdrawals from the Custodial Account.
(a) The Master Servicer may, from time to time as provided herein, make
withdrawals from the Custodial Account of amounts on deposit therein pursuant
to Section 3.07 that are attributable to the Mortgage Loans for the following
purposes:
(i) to make deposits into the Certificate Account in the amounts and in the
manner provided for in Section 4.01;
(ii) to reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for previously
unreimbursed Advances, Servicing Advances or other expenses made
pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.07(a), 3.08, 3.11, 3.12(a), 3.14 and 4.04
or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such
withdrawal right being limited to amounts received on the related
Mortgage Loans (including, for this purpose, REO Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and proceeds from the purchase of a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 or 4.07) which
represent (A) Late Collections of Monthly Payments for which any such
advance was made in the case of Subservicer Advances or Advances
pursuant to Section 4.04 and (B) recoveries of amounts in respect of
which such advances were made in the case of Servicing Advances;
(iii) to pay to itself or the related Subservicer (if not previously retained
by such Subservicer) out of each payment received by the Master
Servicer on account of interest on a Mortgage Loan as contemplated by
Sections 3.14 and 3.16, an amount equal to that remaining portion of
any such payment as to interest (but not in excess of the Servicing Fee
and the Subservicing Fee, if not previously retained) which, when
deducted, will result in the remaining amount of such interest being
interest at the Net Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the
case of a Modified Mortgage Loan) on the amount specified in the
amortization schedule of the related Mortgage Loan as the principal
balance thereof at the beginning of the period respecting which such
interest was paid after giving effect to any previous Curtailments;
(iv) to pay to itself as additional servicing compensation any interest or
investment income earned on funds and other property deposited in or
credited to the Custodial Account that it is entitled to withdraw
pursuant to Section 3.07(c);
(v) to pay to itself as additional servicing compensation any Foreclosure
Profits, any amounts remitted by Subservicers as interest in respect of
Curtailments pursuant to Section 3.08(b), and any amounts paid by a
Mortgagor in connection with a Principal Prepayment in Full in respect
of interest for any period during the calendar month in which such
Principal Prepayment in Full is to be distributed to the
Certificateholders;
(vi) to pay to itself, a Subservicer, a Seller, Residential Funding, the
Company or any other appropriate Person, as the case may be, with
respect to each Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect thereof
that has been purchased or otherwise transferred pursuant to Section
2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 4.07 or 9.01, all amounts received thereon and not
required to be distributed to the Certificateholders as of the date on
which the related Stated Principal Balance or Purchase Price is
determined;
(vii) to reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for any Nonrecoverable
Advance or Advances in the manner and to the extent provided in
subsection (c) below, and any Advance or Servicing Advance made in
connection with a modified Mortgage Loan that is in default or, in the
judgment of the Master Servicer, default is reasonably foreseeable
pursuant to Section 3.07(a), to the extent the amount of the Advance
or Servicing Advance was added to the Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loan in a prior calendar month, or any Advance reimbursable to
the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(a);
(viii) to reimburse itself or the Company for expenses incurred by and
reimbursable to it or the Company pursuant to Sections 3.01(a), 3.11,
3.13, 3.14(c), 6.03, 10.01 or otherwise, or in connection with
enforcing, in accordance with this Agreement, any repurchase,
substitution or indemnification obligation of any Seller (other than an
Affiliate of the Company) pursuant to the related Seller's Agreement;
(ix) to reimburse itself for Servicing Advances expended by it (a) pursuant
to Section 3.14 in good faith in connection with the restoration of
property damaged by an Uninsured Cause, and (b) in connection with the
liquidation of a Mortgage Loan or disposition of an REO Property to the
extent not otherwise reimbursed pursuant to clause (ii) or (viii)
above; and
(x) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Custodial Account that was not
required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 3.07.
(b) Since, in connection with withdrawals pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii),
(v) and (vi), the Master Servicer's entitlement thereto is limited to
collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by
Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
Custodial Account pursuant to such clauses.
(c) The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimburse itself or the
related Subservicer for any advance made in respect of a Mortgage Loan that
the Master Servicer determines to be a Nonrecoverable Advance by withdrawal
from the Custodial Account of amounts on deposit therein attributable to the
Mortgage Loans on any Certificate Account Deposit Date succeeding the date of
such determination. Such right of reimbursement in respect of a
Nonrecoverable Advance relating to an Advance pursuant to Section 4.04 on any
such Certificate Account Deposit Date shall be limited to an amount not
exceeding the portion of such Advance previously paid to Certificateholders
(and not theretofore reimbursed to the Master Servicer or the related
Subservicer).
Section 3.11. Maintenance of the Primary Insurance
Policies; Collections Thereunder.
(a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Subservicer to take,
any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary
Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master
Servicer or Subservicer, would have been covered thereunder. To the extent
coverage is available, the Master Servicer shall keep or cause to be kept in
full force and effect each such Primary Insurance Policy until the principal
balance of the related Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property is
reduced to 80% or less of the Appraised Value in the case of such a Mortgage
Loan having a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80%, provided
that such Primary Insurance Policy was in place as of the Cut-off Date and
the Company had knowledge of such Primary Insurance Policy. The Master
Servicer shall be entitled to cancel or permit the discontinuation of any
Primary Insurance Policy as to any Mortgage Loan, if the Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loan is reduced below an amount equal to 80% of the
appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property as determined in any
appraisal thereof after the Closing Date, or if the Loan-to-Value Ratio is
reduced below 80% as a result of principal payments on the Mortgage Loan
after the Closing Date. In the event that the Company gains knowledge that
as of the Closing Date, a Mortgage Loan had a Loan-to-Value Ratio at
origination in excess of 80% and is not the subject of a Primary Insurance
Policy (and was not included in any exception to the representation in
Section 2.03(b)(iv)) and that such Mortgage Loan has a current Loan-to-Value
Ratio in excess of 80% then the Master Servicer shall use its reasonable
efforts to obtain and maintain a Primary Insurance Policy to the extent that
such a policy is obtainable at a reasonable price. The Master Servicer shall
not cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy applicable to
a Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, or consent to any Subservicer canceling or
refusing to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy applicable to a Mortgage
Loan subserviced by it, that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance
of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force hereunder unless the
replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy
is maintained with an insurer whose claims-paying ability is acceptable to
each Rating Agency for mortgage pass-through certificates having a rating
equal to or better than the lower of the then-current rating or the rating
assigned to the Certificates as of the Closing Date by such Rating Agency.
(b) In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the
Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present or to cause the related
Subservicer to present, on behalf of the Master Servicer, the Subservicer, if
any, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims to the related Insurer under
any Primary Insurance Policies, in a timely manner in accordance with such
policies, and, in this regard, to take or cause to be taken such reasonable
action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance
Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 3.07, any
Insurance Proceeds collected by or remitted to the Master Servicer under any
Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Custodial Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10.
Section 3.12. Maintenance of Fire Insurance and
Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.
(a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan
(other than a Cooperative Loan) fire insurance with extended coverage in an
amount which is equal to the lesser of the principal balance owing on such
Mortgage Loan or 100 percent of the insurable value of the improvements;
provided, however, that such coverage may not be less than the minimum amount
required to fully compensate for any loss or damage on a replacement cost
basis. To the extent it may do so without breaching the related Subservicing
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall replace any Subservicer that does not
cause such insurance, to the extent it is available, to be maintained. The
Master Servicer shall also cause to be maintained on property acquired upon
foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan (other than
a Cooperative Loan), fire insurance with extended coverage in an amount which
is at least equal to the amount necessary to avoid the application of any
co-insurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy.
Pursuant to Section 3.07, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under
any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or
repair of the related Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer's normal
servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10. Any cost incurred by the Master
Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of
calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the
amount owing under the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the
Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Master
Servicer out of related late payments by the Mortgagor or out of Insurance
Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 3.10.
It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance
is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in
respect of a Mortgage 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. Whenever the improvements securing a Mortgage Loan
(other than a Cooperative Loan) are located at the time of origination of
such Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the
Master Servicer shall cause flood insurance (to the extent available) to be
maintained in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount
equal to the lesser of (i) the amount required to compensate for any loss or
damage to the Mortgaged Property on a replacement cost basis and (ii) the
maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property
under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which
such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program).
If the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket fire
insurance policy with extended coverage insuring against hazard losses on all
of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its
obligations as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3.12(a), it
being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause,
in which case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not
have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying
with the first sentence of this Section 3.12(a) and there shall have been a
loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Certificate
Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of
such deductible clause. Any such deposit by the Master Servicer shall be
made on the Certificate Account Deposit Date next preceding the Distribution
Date which occurs in the month following the month in which payments under
any such policy would have been deposited in the Custodial Account. In
connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage
Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the
Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy.
(b) The Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and
keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement a blanket
fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy covering the
Master Servicer's officers and employees and other persons acting on behalf
of the Master Servicer in connection with its activities under this
Agreement. The amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage
that would be required by Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, whichever is greater,
with respect to the Master Servicer if the Master Servicer were servicing and
administering the Mortgage Loans for Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. In the event
that any such bond or policy ceases to be in effect, the Master Servicer
shall obtain a comparable replacement bond or policy from an issuer or
insurer, as the case may be, meeting the requirements, if any, of the Program
Guide and acceptable to the Company. Coverage of the Master Servicer under a
policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of the Master Servicer and providing
the coverage required by this Section 3.12(b) shall satisfy the requirements
of this Section 3.12(b).
Section 3.13. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and
Modification Agreements; Certain Assignments.
(a) When any Mortgaged Property is conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master
Servicer or Subservicer, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance,
shall enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or
Mortgage, to the extent permitted under applicable law and governmental
regulations, but only to the extent that such enforcement will not adversely
affect or jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance Policy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(i) the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this
Section 3.13(a) by reason of any transfer or assumption which the
Master Servicer is restricted by law from preventing; and
(ii) if the Master Servicer determines that it is reasonably likely that any
Mortgagor will bring, or if any Mortgagor does bring, legal action to
declare invalid or otherwise avoid enforcement of a due-on-sale clause
contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, the Master Servicer shall
not be required to enforce the due-on-sale clause or to contest such
action.
(b) Subject to the Master Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause
to the extent set forth in Section 3.13(a), in any case in which a Mortgaged
Property is to be conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to
enter into an assumption or modification agreement or supplement to the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage which requires the signature of the Trustee, or if
an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the
Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer is
authorized, subject to the requirements of the sentence next following, to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the assumption agreement with
the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such
modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or
other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of
the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws
regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such
Person; provided, however, none of such terms and requirements shall either
(i) both (A) constitute a "significant modification" effecting an exchange or
reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under the REMIC Provisions and (B) cause any
portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement to fail to qualify as
a REMIC under the Code or (subject to Section 10.01(f)), result in the
imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or (ii) constitute
"contributions" after the start-up date under the REMIC Provisions. The
Master Servicer shall execute and deliver such documents only if it
reasonably determines that (i) its execution and delivery thereof will not
conflict with or violate any terms of this Agreement or cause the unpaid
balance and interest on the Mortgage Loan to be uncollectible in whole or in
part, (ii) any required consents of insurers under any Required Insurance
Policies have been obtained and (iii) subsequent to the closing of the
transaction involving the assumption or transfer (A) the Mortgage Loan will
continue to be secured by a first mortgage lien pursuant to the terms of the
Mortgage, (B) such transaction will not adversely affect the coverage under
any Required Insurance Policies, (C) the Mortgage Loan will fully amortize
over the remaining term thereof, (D) no material term of the Mortgage Loan
(including the interest rate on the Mortgage Loan) will be altered nor will
the term of the Mortgage Loan be changed and (E) if the seller/transferor of
the Mortgaged Property is to be released from liability on the Mortgage Loan,
such release will not (based on the Master Servicer's or Subservicer's good
faith determination) adversely affect the collectability of the Mortgage
Loan. Upon receipt of appropriate instructions from the Master Servicer in
accordance with the foregoing, the Trustee shall execute any necessary
instruments for such assumption or substitution of liability as directed in
writing by the Master Servicer. Upon the closing of the transactions
contemplated by such documents, the Master Servicer shall cause the originals
or true and correct copies of the assumption agreement, the release (if any),
or the modification or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage to be
delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian and deposited with the Mortgage
File for such Mortgage Loan. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer or
such related Subservicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of
liability agreement will be retained by the Master Servicer or such
Subservicer as additional servicing compensation.
(c) The Master Servicer or the related Subservicer, as the case may be,
shall be entitled to approve a request from a Mortgagor for a partial release
of the related Mortgaged Property, the granting of an easement thereon in
favor of another Person, any alteration or demolition of the related
Mortgaged Property (or, with respect to a Cooperative Loan, the related
Cooperative Apartment) without any right of reimbursement or other similar
matters if it has determined, exercising its good faith business judgment in
the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage
Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full collectability of, such
Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected thereby and that any portion of
any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement would not fail to continue to
qualify as a REMIC under the Code as a result thereof and (subject to Section
10.01(f)) that no tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" after
the startup day would be imposed on any such REMIC as a result thereof. Any
fee collected by the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer for
processing such a request will be retained by the Master Servicer or such
Subservicer as additional servicing compensation.
(d) Subject to any other applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement,
the Trustee and Master Servicer shall be entitled to approve an assignment in
lieu of satisfaction with respect to any Mortgage Loan, provided the obligee
with respect to such Mortgage Loan following such proposed assignment
provides the Trustee and Master Servicer with a "Lender Certification for
Assignment of Mortgage Loan" in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and Master Servicer, providing
the following: (i) that the substance of the assignment is, and is intended
to be, a refinancing of such Mortgage; (ii) that the Mortgage Loan following
the proposed assignment will have a rate of interest at least 0.25 percent
below or above the rate of interest on such Mortgage Loan prior to such
proposed assignment; and (iii) that such assignment is at the request of the
borrower under the related Mortgage Loan. Upon approval of an assignment in
lieu of satisfaction with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer
shall receive cash in an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance of and
accrued interest on such Mortgage Loan and the Master Servicer shall treat
such amount as a Principal Prepayment in Full with respect to such Mortgage
Loan for all purposes hereof.
Section 3.14. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably
convert (which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of properties
securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and
as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of
delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07. Alternatively, the Master
Servicer may take other actions in respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan,
which may include (i) accepting a short sale (a payoff of the Mortgage Loan
for an amount less than the total amount contractually owed in order to
facilitate a sale of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagor) or permitting a
short refinancing (a payoff of the Mortgage Loan for an amount less than the
total amount contractually owed in order to facilitate refinancing
transactions by the Mortgagor not involving a sale of the Mortgaged
Property), (ii) arranging for a repayment plan or (iii) agreeing to a
modification in accordance with Section 3.07. In connection with such
foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer shall, consistent with
Section 3.11, follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary
or advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing
activities and as shall be required or permitted by the Program Guide;
provided that the Master Servicer shall not be liable in any respect
hereunder if the Master Servicer is acting in connection with any such
foreclosure or other conversion in a manner that is consistent with the
provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer, however, shall not be
required to expend its own funds or incur other reimbursable charges in
connection with any foreclosure, or attempted foreclosure which is not
completed, or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall
determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the
proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Holders of Certificates of
one or more Classes after reimbursement to itself for such expenses or
charges and (ii) that such expenses or charges will be recoverable to it
through Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, or REO Proceeds (respecting
which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial
Account pursuant to Section 3.10, whether or not such expenses and charges
are actually recoverable from related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds or REO Proceeds). In the event of such a determination by the
Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.14(a), the Master Servicer shall
be entitled to reimbursement of such amounts pursuant to Section 3.10.
In addition to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall use its
best reasonable efforts to realize upon any Additional Collateral for such of
the Additional Collateral Loans as come into and continue in default and as
to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of
delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07; provided that the Master
Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, obtain title to any such
Additional Collateral as a result of or in lieu of the disposition thereof or
otherwise; and provided further that (i) the Master Servicer shall not
proceed with respect to such Additional Collateral in any manner that would
impair the ability to recover against the related Mortgaged Property, and
(ii) the Master Servicer shall proceed with any REO Acquisition in a manner
that preserves the ability to apply the proceeds of such Additional
Collateral against amounts owed under the defaulted Mortgage Loan. Any
proceeds realized from such Additional Collateral (other than amounts to be
released to the Mortgagor or the related guarantor in accordance with
procedures that the Master Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for
its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage
and Mortgage Note and to the terms and conditions of any security agreement,
guarantee agreement, mortgage or other agreement governing the disposition of
the proceeds of such Additional Collateral) shall be deposited in the
Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10. Any other
payment received by the Master Servicer in respect of such Additional
Collateral shall be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 3.10.
For so long as the Master Servicer is the Master Servicer under
the Credit Support Pledge Agreement, the Master Servicer shall perform its
obligations under the Credit Support Pledge Agreement in accordance with such
Agreement and in a manner that is in the best interests of the
Certificateholders. Further, the Master Servicer shall use its best
reasonable efforts to realize upon any Pledged Assets for such of the Pledged
Asset Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments
pursuant to Section 3.07; provided that the Master Servicer shall not, on
behalf of the Trustee, obtain title to any such Pledged Assets as a result of
or in lieu of the disposition thereof or otherwise; and provided further that
(i) the Master Servicer shall not proceed with respect to such Pledged Assets
in any manner that would impair the ability to recover against the related
Mortgaged Property, and (ii) the Master Servicer shall proceed with any REO
Acquisition in a manner that preserves the ability to apply the proceeds of
such Pledged Assets against amounts owed under the defaulted Mortgage Loan.
Any proceeds realized from such Pledged Assets (other than amounts to be
released to the Mortgagor or the related guarantor in accordance with
procedures that the Master Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for
its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage
and Mortgage Note and to the terms and conditions of any security agreement,
guarantee agreement, mortgage or other agreement governing the disposition of
the proceeds of such Pledged Assets) shall be deposited in the Custodial
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10. Any other payment
received by the Master Servicer in respect of such Pledged Assets shall be
deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.10.
Concurrently with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may pursue
any remedies that may be available in connection with a breach of a
representation and warranty with respect to any such Mortgage Loan in
accordance with Sections 2.03 and 2.04. However, the Master Servicer is not
required to continue to pursue both foreclosure (or similar remedies) with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and remedies in connection with a breach of a
representation and warranty if the Master Servicer determines in its
reasonable discretion that one such remedy is more likely to result in a
greater recovery as to the Mortgage Loan. Upon the occurrence of a Cash
Liquidation or REO Disposition, following the deposit in the Custodial
Account of all Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and other payments
and recoveries referred to in the definition of "Cash Liquidation" or "REO
Disposition," as applicable, upon receipt by the Trustee of written
notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee or
the Custodian, as the case may be, shall release to the Master Servicer the
related Custodial File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Master Servicer, in
each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Master
Servicer or its designee, as the case may be, the related Mortgage Loan, and
thereafter such Mortgage Loan shall not be part of the Trust Fund.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, in
the Master Servicer's sole discretion with respect to any defaulted Mortgage
Loan or REO Property as to either of the following provisions, (i) a Cash
Liquidation or REO Disposition may be deemed to have occurred if
substantially all amounts expected by the Master Servicer to be received in
connection with the related defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property have been
received, and (ii) for purposes of determining the amount of any Liquidation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, REO Proceeds or any other unscheduled
collections or the amount of any Realized Loss, the Master Servicer may take
into account minimal amounts of additional receipts expected to be received
or any estimated additional liquidation expenses expected to be incurred in
connection with the related defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property.
(b) If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired by the Trust Fund as an
REO Property by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or
certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee or to its nominee on
behalf of Certificateholders. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title
and cancellation of the related Mortgage Loan, such REO Property shall
(except as otherwise expressly provided herein) be considered to be an
Outstanding Mortgage Loan held in the Trust Fund until such time as the REO
Property shall be sold. Consistent with the foregoing for purposes of all
calculations hereunder so long as such REO Property shall be considered to be
an Outstanding Mortgage Loan it shall be assumed that, notwithstanding that
the indebtedness evidenced by the related Mortgage Note shall have been
discharged, such Mortgage Note and the related amortization schedule in
effect at the time of any such acquisition of title (after giving effect to
any previous Curtailments and before any adjustment thereto by reason of any
bankruptcy or similar proceeding or any moratorium or similar waiver or grace
period) remain in effect.
(c) If the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property as aforesaid or otherwise
in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust Fund shall dispose of such REO
Property as soon as practicable, giving due consideration to the interests of
the Certificateholders, but in all cases within three full years after the
taxable year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund for purposes of Section
860G(a)(8) of the Code (or such shorter period as may be necessary under
applicable state (including any state in which such property is located) law
to maintain the status of any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series
Supplement as a REMIC under applicable state law and avoid taxes resulting
from such property failing to be foreclosure property under applicable state
law) or, at the expense of the Trust Fund, request, more than 60 days before
the day on which such grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of
such grace period unless the Master Servicer (subject to Section 10.01(f))
obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and
the Master Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such
REO Property subsequent to such period will not result in the imposition of
taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code or
cause any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement to fail to qualify as a
REMIC (for federal (or any applicable State or local) income tax purposes) at
any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund
may continue to hold such REO Property (subject to any conditions contained
in such Opinion of Counsel). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed from the Custodial Account for any costs incurred in obtaining
such Opinion of Counsel, as provided in Section 3.10. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust Fund
shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or
on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that
would (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure
property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii)
subject the Trust Fund to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the
income earned from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason
of Section 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Master Servicer has agreed to
indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of
any such taxes.
(d) The proceeds of any Cash Liquidation, REO Disposition or purchase or
repurchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, as
well as any recovery resulting from a collection of Liquidation Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds or REO Proceeds, will be applied in the following order of
priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer
in accordance with Section 3.10(a)(ii); second, to the Certificateholders to
the extent of accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, and any
related REO Imputed Interest, at the Net Mortgage Rate (or the Modified Net
Mortgage Rate in the case of a Modified Mortgage Loan) to the Due Date prior
to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed; third,
to the Certificateholders as a recovery of principal on the Mortgage Loan (or
REO Property); fourth, to all Servicing Fees and Subservicing Fees payable
therefrom (and the Master Servicer and the Subservicer shall have no claims
for any deficiencies with respect to such fees which result from the
foregoing allocation); and fifth, to Foreclosure Profits.
(e) In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose
obligors is not a United States Person, in connection with any foreclosure or
acquisition of a deed in lieu of foreclosure (together, "foreclosure") in
respect of such Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will cause compliance with
the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any
successor thereto) necessary to assure that no withholding tax obligation
arises with respect to the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the extent,
if any, that proceeds of such foreclosure are required to be remitted to the
obligors on such Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.15. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Custodial Files.
(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or
upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in
full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master
Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee (if it holds the related
Custodial File) or the Custodian by a certification of a Servicing Officer
(which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts
received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required
to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.07 have been
or will be so deposited), substantially in one of the forms attached hereto
as Exhibit F, or, in the case of the Custodian, an electronic request in a
form acceptable to the Custodian, requesting delivery to it of the Custodial
File. Within two Business Days of receipt of such certification and request,
the Trustee shall release, or cause the Custodian to release, the related
Custodial File to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer is authorized to
execute and deliver to the Mortgagor the request for reconveyance, deed of
reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument
releasing the lien of the Mortgage, together with the Mortgage Note with, as
appropriate, written evidence of cancellation thereon and to cause the
removal from the registration on the MERS(R)System of such Mortgage and to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or
any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of
partial or full release. No expenses incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the
Custodial Account or the Certificate Account.
(b) From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of
any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian, with a
copy to the Trustee, a certificate of a Servicing Officer substantially in
one of the forms attached as Exhibit F hereto, or, in the case of the
Custodian, an electronic request in a form acceptable to the Custodian,
requesting that possession of all, or any document constituting part of, the
Custodial File be released to the Master Servicer and certifying as to the
reason for such release and that such release will not invalidate any
insurance coverage provided in respect of the Mortgage Loan under any
Required Insurance Policy. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Trustee shall
deliver, or cause the Custodian to deliver, the Custodial File or any
document therein to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall cause
each Custodial File or any document therein so released to be returned to the
Trustee, or the Custodian as agent for the Trustee when the need therefor by
the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been
liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have
been deposited in the Custodial Account or (ii) the Custodial File or such
document has been delivered directly or through a Subservicer to an attorney,
or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for
purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the
foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially,
and the Master Servicer has delivered directly or through a Subservicer to
the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name
and address of the Person to which such Custodial File or such document was
delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. In the event of the
liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall deliver the Request for
Release with respect thereto to the Master Servicer upon deposit of the
related Liquidation Proceeds in the Custodial Account.
(c) The Trustee or the Master Servicer on the Trustee's behalf shall
execute and deliver to the Master Servicer, if necessary, any court
pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other documents necessary to the
foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any
legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other
remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise
available at law or in equity. Together with such documents or pleadings (if
signed by the Trustee), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a
certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or
documents be executed by the Trustee and certifying as to the reason such
documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery
thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate any insurance coverage under any
Required Insurance Policy or invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the
Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the
foreclosure or trustee's sale.
Section 3.16. Servicing and Other Compensation; Compensating Interest.
(a) The Master Servicer, as compensation for its activities hereunder,
shall be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date the amounts provided
for by clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of Section 3.10(a), subject to
clause (e) below. The amount of servicing compensation provided for in such
clauses shall be accounted for on a Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis. In
the event that Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and REO Proceeds (net
of amounts reimbursable therefrom pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(ii)) in respect
of a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition exceed the unpaid principal balance
of such Mortgage Loan plus unpaid interest accrued thereon (including REO
Imputed Interest) at a per annum rate equal to the related Net Mortgage Rate
(or the Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of a Modified Mortgage Loan),
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain therefrom and to pay to
itself and/or the related Subservicer, any Foreclosure Profits and any
Servicing Fee or Subservicing Fee considered to be accrued but unpaid.
(b) Additional servicing compensation in the form of prepayment charges,
assumption fees, late payment charges, investment income on amounts in the
Custodial Account or the Certificate Account or otherwise shall be retained
by the Master Servicer or the Subservicer to the extent provided herein,
subject to clause (e) below.
(c) The Master Servicer shall be required to pay, or cause to be paid, all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder
(including payment of premiums for the Primary Insurance Policies, if any, to
the extent such premiums are not required to be paid by the related
Mortgagors, and the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any co-trustee (as
provided in Section 8.05) and the fees and expense of the Custodian) and
shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically
provided in Sections 3.10 and 3.14.
(d) The Master Servicer's right to receive servicing compensation may not
be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of
all of its responsibilities and obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the amount of servicing
compensation that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive for its
activities hereunder for the period ending on each Distribution Date shall be
reduced (but not below zero) by an amount equal to Compensating Interest (if
any) for such Distribution Date. Such reduction shall be applied during such
period as follows: first, to any Servicing Fee or Subservicing Fee to which
the Master Servicer is entitled pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(iii), and second,
to any income or gain realized from any investment of funds held in the
Custodial Account or the Certificate Account to which the Master Servicer is
entitled pursuant to Sections 3.07(c) or 4.01(b), respectively. In making
such reduction, the Master Servicer (i) will not withdraw from the Custodial
Account any such amount representing all or a portion of the Servicing Fee to
which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(iii), and (ii) will not
withdraw from the Custodial Account or Certificate Account any such amount to
which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.07(c) or 4.01(b).
Section 3.17. Reports to the Trustee and the Company.
Not later than fifteen days after it receives a written request from
the Trustee or the Company, the Master Servicer shall forward to the Trustee
and the Company a statement, certified by a Servicing Officer, setting forth
the status of the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the
immediately preceding Distribution Date as it relates to the Mortgage Loans
and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate of
deposits in or withdrawals from the Custodial Account in respect of the
Mortgage Loans for each category of deposit specified in Section 3.07 and
each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.10.
Section 3.18. Annual Statement as to Compliance and Servicing Assessment.
The Master Servicer will deliver to the Company and the Trustee on or
before the earlier of (a) March 31 of each year or (b) with respect to any
calendar year during which the Company's annual report on Form 10-K is
required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission, the date on which the annual report on Form
10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations of the Commission, (i) a servicing assessment as
described in Section 4.03(f)(ii) and (ii) a servicer compliance statement,
signed by an authorized officer of the Master Servicer, as described in Items
1122(a), 1122(b) and 1123 of Regulation AB, to the effect that:
(A) A review of the Master Servicer's activities during the reporting
period and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under such
officer's supervision.
(B) To the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review,
the Master Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement
in all material respects throughout the reporting period or, if there has
been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect,
specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status
thereof.
The Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
from all other parties participating in the servicing function any additional
certifications required under Item 1122 and Item 1123 of Regulation AB to the
extent required to be included in a Report on Form 10-K; provided, however,
that a failure to obtain such certifications shall not be a breach of the
Master Servicer's duties hereunder if any such party fails to deliver such a
certification.
Section 3.19. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
On or before the earlier of (a) March 31 of each year or (b) with
respect to any calendar year during which the Company's annual report on Form
10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations of the Commission, the date on which the annual report
on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations of the Commission, the Master Servicer at its
expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants, which shall be
members of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, to furnish
to the Company and the Trustee the attestation required under Item 1122(b) of
Regulation AB. In rendering such statement, such firm may rely, as to
matters relating to the direct servicing of mortgage loans by Subservicers,
upon comparable statements for examinations conducted by independent public
accountants substantially in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (rendered within one year
of such statement) with respect to such Subservicers.
Section 3.20. Rights of the Company in Respect of the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall afford the Company, upon reasonable notice,
during normal business hours access to all records maintained by the Master
Servicer in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to
officers of the Master Servicer responsible for such obligations. Upon
request, the Master Servicer shall furnish the Company with its most recent
financial statements and such other information as the Master Servicer
possesses regarding its business, affairs, property and condition, financial
or otherwise. The Master Servicer shall also cooperate with all reasonable
requests for information including, but not limited to, notices, tapes and
copies of files, regarding itself, the Mortgage Loans or the Certificates
from any Person or Persons identified by the Company or Residential Funding.
The Company may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the
Master Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause
a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer
hereunder or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided
that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations
hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Company or its designee. The
Company 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 3.21. Administration of Buydown Funds
(a) With respect to any Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer has
deposited Buydown Funds in an account that satisfies the requirements for a
Subservicing Account (the "Buydown Account"). The Master Servicer shall
cause the Subservicing Agreement to require that upon receipt from the
Mortgagor of the amount due on a Due Date for each Buydown Mortgage Loan, the
Subservicer will withdraw from the Buydown Account the predetermined amount
that, when added to the amount due on such date from the Mortgagor, equals
the full Monthly Payment and transmit that amount in accordance with the
terms of the Subservicing Agreement to the Master Servicer together with the
related payment made by the Mortgagor or advanced by the Subservicer.
(b) If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan prepays such loan in its
entirety during the period (the "Buydown Period") when Buydown Funds are
required to be applied to such Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer shall
be required to withdraw from the Buydown Account and remit any Buydown Funds
remaining in the Buydown Account in accordance with the related buydown
agreement. The amount of Buydown Funds which may be remitted in accordance
with the related buydown agreement may reduce the amount required to be paid
by the Mortgagor to fully prepay the related Mortgage Loan. If the Mortgagor
on a Buydown Mortgage Loan defaults on such Mortgage Loan during the Buydown
Period and the property securing such Buydown Mortgage Loan is sold in the
liquidation thereof (either by the Master Servicer or the insurer under any
related Primary Insurance Policy), the Subservicer shall be required to
withdraw from the Buydown Account the Buydown Funds for such Buydown Mortgage
Loan still held in the Buydown Account and remit the same to the Master
Servicer in accordance with the terms of the Subservicing Agreement for
deposit in the Custodial Account or, if instructed by the Master Servicer,
pay to the insurer under any related Primary Insurance Policy if the
Mortgaged Property is transferred to such insurer and such insurer pays all
of the loss incurred in respect of such default. Any amount so remitted
pursuant to the preceding sentence will be deemed to reduce the amount owed
on the Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.22. Advance Facility
(a) The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or
other facility (any such arrangement, an "Advance Facility") under which (1)
the Master Servicer sells, assigns or pledges to another Person (an
"Advancing Person") the Master Servicer's rights under this Agreement to be
reimbursed for any Advances or Servicing Advances and/or (2) an Advancing
Person agrees to fund some or all Advances and/or Servicing Advances required
to be made by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of
the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificateholders or any other party shall
be required before the Master Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility.
Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an
Advancing Person agrees to fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances on the
Master Servicer's behalf, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated
pursuant to this Agreement to make Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant
to and as required by this Agreement. If the Master Servicer enters into an
Advance Facility, and for so long as an Advancing Person remains entitled to
receive reimbursement for any Advances including Nonrecoverable Advances
("Advance Reimbursement Amounts") and/or Servicing Advances including
Nonrecoverable Advances ("Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts" and
together with Advance Reimbursement Amounts, "Reimbursement Amounts") (in
each case to the extent such type of Reimbursement Amount is included in the
Advance Facility), as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, then the Master
Servicer shall identify such Reimbursement Amounts consistent with the
reimbursement rights set forth in Section 3.10(a)(ii) and (vii) and remit
such Reimbursement Amounts in accordance with this Section 3.22 or otherwise
in accordance with the documentation establishing the Advance Facility to
such Advancing Person or to a trustee, agent or custodian (an "Advance
Facility Trustee") designated by such Advancing Person in an Advance Facility
Notice described below in Section 3.22(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
so required pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, the Master
Servicer may direct, and if so directed in writing the Trustee is hereby
authorized to and shall pay to the Advance Facility Trustee the Reimbursement
Amounts identified pursuant to the preceding sentence. An Advancing Person
whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of Advances and/or
Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the qualifications of a
Master Servicer or a Subservicer pursuant to Section 3.02(a) or 6.02(c)
hereof and shall not be deemed to be a Subservicer under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Advance
Reimbursement Amounts or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts be included
in the Available Distribution Amount or distributed to Certificateholders.
(b) If the Master Servicer enters into an Advance Facility and makes the
election set forth in Section 3.22(a), the Master Servicer and the related
Advancing Person shall deliver to the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee a
written notice and payment instruction (an "Advance Facility Notice"),
providing the Trustee with written payment instructions as to where to remit
Advance Reimbursement Amounts and/or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts
(each to the extent such type of Reimbursement Amount is included within the
Advance Facility) on subsequent Distribution Dates. The payment instruction
shall require the applicable Reimbursement Amounts to be distributed to the
Advancing Person or to an Advance Facility Trustee designated in the Advance
Facility Notice. An Advance Facility Notice may only be terminated by the
joint written direction of the Master Servicer and the related Advancing
Person (and any related Advance Facility Trustee). The Master Servicer shall
provide the Certificate Insurer, if any, with notice of any termination of
any Advance Facility pursuant to this Section 3.22(b).
(c) Reimbursement Amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect of
Advances and/or Servicing Advances made with respect to the Mortgage Loans
for which the Master Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in
accordance with Section 3.10(a)(ii) and (vii) hereof, assuming the Master
Servicer or the Advancing Person had made the related Advance(s) and/or
Servicing Advance(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to
reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth in Section 3.10(c) of
this Agreement, no Person shall be entitled to reimbursement from funds held
in the Collection Account for future distribution to Certificateholders
pursuant to this Agreement. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have
any duty or liability with respect to the calculation of any Reimbursement
Amount, nor shall the Company or the Trustee have any responsibility to track
or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility or have any
responsibility to track, monitor or verify the payment of Reimbursement
Amounts to the related Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee. The
Master Servicer shall maintain and provide to any Successor Master Servicer a
detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, sold,
pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advancing Person. The Successor
Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by
the Master Servicer and the Successor Master Servicer shall not be liable for
any errors in such information.
(d) Upon the direction of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, the
Trustee agrees to execute such acknowledgments, certificates and other
documents reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee provided by the Master
Servicer recognizing the interests of any Advancing Person or Advance
Facility Trustee in such Reimbursement Amounts as the Master Servicer may
cause to be made subject to Advance Facilities pursuant to this Section 3.22.
(e) Reimbursement Amounts collected with respect to each Mortgage Loan
shall be allocated to outstanding unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances
(as the case may be) made with respect to that Mortgage Loan on a "first-in,
first out" ("FIFO") basis, subject to the qualifications set forth below:
(i) Any successor Master Servicer to Residential Funding (a
"Successor Master Servicer") and the Advancing Person or Advance
Facility Trustee shall be required to apply all amounts available in
accordance with this Section 3.22(e) to the reimbursement of Advances
and Servicing Advances in the manner provided for herein; provided,
however, that after the succession of a Successor Master Servicer, (A)
to the extent that any Advances or Servicing Advances with respect to
any particular Mortgage Loan are reimbursed from payments or
recoveries, if any, from the related Mortgagor, and Liquidation
Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, if any, with respect to that Mortgage
Loan, reimbursement shall be made, first, to the Advancing Person or
Advance Facility Trustee in respect of Advances and/or Servicing
Advances related to that Mortgage Loan to the extent of the interest of
the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee in such Advances
and/or Servicing Advances, second to the Master Servicer in respect of
Advances and/or Servicing Advances related to that Mortgage Loan in
excess of those in which the Advancing Person or Advance Facility
Trustee Person has an interest, and third, to the Successor Master
Servicer in respect of any other Advances and/or Servicing Advances
related to that Mortgage Loan, from such sources as and when collected,
and (B) reimbursements of Advances and Servicing Advances that are
Nonrecoverable Advances shall be made pro rata to the Advancing Person
or Advance Facility Trustee, on the one hand, and any such Successor
Master Servicer, on the other hand, on the basis of the respective
aggregate outstanding unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances that
are Nonrecoverable Advances owed to the Advancing Person, Advance
Facility Trustee or Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, on the
one hand, and any such Successor Master Servicer, on the other hand,
and without regard to the date on which any such Advances or Servicing
Advances shall have been made. In the event that, as a result of the
FIFO allocation made pursuant to this Section 3.22(e), some or all of a
Reimbursement Amount paid to the Advancing Person or Advance Facility
Trustee relates to Advances or Servicing Advances that were made by a
Person other than Residential Funding or the Advancing Person or
Advance Facility Trustee, then the Advancing Person or Advance Facility
Trustee shall be required to remit any portion of such Reimbursement
Amount to the Person entitled to such portion of such Reimbursement
Amount. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Residential
Funding shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advancing Person
or Advance Facility Trustee for all Advances and Servicing Advances
funded by Residential Funding to the extent the related Reimbursement
Amount(s) have not been assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person or
Advance Facility Trustee. The documentation establishing any Advance
Facility shall require Residential Funding to provide to the related
Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee loan by loan information
with respect to each Reimbursement Amount distributed to such Advancing
Person or Advance Facility Trustee on each date of remittance thereof
to such Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee, to enable the
Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee to make the FIFO
allocation of each Reimbursement Amount with respect to each Mortgage
Loan.
(ii) By way of illustration, and not by way of limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if the Master Servicer resigns or is
terminated at a time when the Master Servicer is a party to an Advance
Facility, and is replaced by a Successor Master Servicer, and the
Successor Master Servicer directly funds Advances or Servicing Advances
with respect to a Mortgage Loan and does not assign or pledge the
related Reimbursement Amounts to the related Advancing Person or
Advance Facility Trustee, then all payments and recoveries received
from the related Mortgagor or received in the form of Liquidation
Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan (including Insurance
Proceeds collected in connection with a liquidation of such Mortgage
Loan) will be allocated first to the Advancing Person or Advance
Facility Trustee until the related Reimbursement Amounts attributable
to such Mortgage Loan that are owed to the Master Servicer and the
Advancing Person, which were made prior to any Advances or Servicing
Advances made by the Successor Master Servicer, have been reimbursed in
full, at which point the Successor Master Servicer shall be entitled to
retain all related Reimbursement Amounts subsequently collected with
respect to that Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.10 of this
Agreement. To the extent that the Advances or Servicing Advances are
Nonrecoverable Advances to be reimbursed on an aggregate basis pursuant
to Section 3.10 of this Agreement, the reimbursement paid in this
manner will be made pro rata to the Advancing Person or Advance
Facility Trustee, on the one hand, and the Successor Master Servicer,
on the other hand, as described in clause (i)(B) above.
(f) The Master Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed for
all Advances and Servicing Advances funded by the Master Servicer to the
extent the related rights to be reimbursed therefor have not been sold,
assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person.
(g) Any amendment to this Section 3.22 or to any other provision of
this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an
Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.22, including
amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Master Servicer, may be
entered into by the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, Company and the Master
Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder, with written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that the amendment will not result in
the reduction of the ratings on any class of the Certificates below the
lesser of the then current or original ratings on such Certificates, and an
opinion of counsel as required by Section 11.01(c), notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in Section 11.01 of or elsewhere in this Agreement.
(h) Any rights of set-off that the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the
Company, any Successor Master Servicer or any other Person might otherwise
have against the Master Servicer under this Agreement shall not attach to any
rights to be reimbursed for Advances or Servicing Advances that have been
sold, transferred, pledged, conveyed or assigned to any Advancing Person.
(i) At any time when an Advancing Person shall have ceased funding
Advances and/or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) and the Advancing
Person or related Advance Facility Trustee shall have received Reimbursement
Amounts sufficient in the aggregate to reimburse all Advances and/or
Servicing Advances (as the case may be) the right to reimbursement for which
were assigned to the Advancing Person, then upon the delivery of a written
notice signed by the Advancing Person and the Master Servicer or its
successor or assign) to the Trustee terminating the Advance Facility Notice
(the "Notice of Facility Termination"), the Master Servicer or its Successor
Master Servicer shall again be entitled to withdraw and retain the related
Reimbursement Amounts from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.10.
(j) After delivery of any Advance Facility Notice, and until any such
Advance Facility Notice has been terminated by a Notice of Facility
Termination, this Section 3.22 may not be amended or otherwise modified
without the prior written consent of the related Advancing Person.

the funds in the Certificate Account in Permitted Investments designated in
the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, which
shall mature or be payable on demand not later than the Business Day next
preceding the Distribution Date next following the date of such investment
(except that (i) any investment in the institution with which the Certificate
Account is maintained may mature or be payable on demand on such Distribution
Date and (ii) any other investment may mature or be payable on demand on such
Distribution Date if the Trustee shall advance funds on such Distribution
Date to the Certificate Account in the amount payable on such investment on
such Distribution Date, pending receipt thereof to the extent necessary to
make distributions on the Certificates) and shall not be sold or disposed of
prior to maturity. Subject to Section 3.16(e), all income and gain realized
from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and
shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of
any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in
the Certificate Account by the Master Servicer out of its own funds
immediately as realized without any right of reimbursement. The Trustee or
its Affiliates are permitted to receive compensation that could be deemed to

administrator, shareholder servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with
respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to

Trustee may modify the distribution procedures set forth in this Section
provided that such procedures are no less convenient for the
Certificateholders. The Trustee shall provide prior notification to the
Company, the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders regarding any such
modification. In addition, the Master Servicer shall provide to any manager
of a trust fund consisting of some or all of the Certificates, upon
reasonable request, such additional information as is reasonably obtainable
by the Master Servicer at no additional expense to the Master Servicer.
Also, at the request of a Rating Agency, the Master Servicer shall provide
the information relating to the Reportable Modified Mortgage Loans
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit Q to such Rating Agency
within a reasonable period of time; provided, however, that the Master
Servicer shall not be required to provide such information more than four
times in a calendar year to any Rating Agency.
(b) Within a reasonable period of time after it receives a written request
from a Holder of a Certificate, other than a Class R Certificate, the Master
Servicer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and shall forward, or cause
to be forwarded, to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was
the Holder of a Certificate, other than a Class R Certificate, a statement
containing the information set forth in clauses (v) and (vi) of the exhibit
to the Series Supplement referred to in subsection (a) above aggregated for
such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such Person was
a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Master Servicer shall be deemed

requirements of the Code.
(c) Within a reasonable period of time after it receives a written request
from a Holder of a Class R Certificate, the Master Servicer shall prepare, or
cause to be prepared, and shall forward, or cause to be forwarded, to each

have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information
shall be provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to any requirements of the
Code.
(d) Upon the written request of any Certificateholder, the Master Servicer,
as soon as reasonably practicable, shall provide the requesting

vote of the Certificateholders at the request of the Company or the Master
Servicer, and (IV) notice of any failure of the Trustee to make any
distribution to the Certificateholders as required pursuant to the Series
Supplement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any
liability with respect to the Master Servicer's 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
the Master Servicer's own negligence or willful misconduct.
(f) Any Form 10-K filed with the Commission in connection with this
Section 4.03 shall include, with respect to the Certificates relating to such
10-K:
(i) A certification, signed by the senior officer in charge of the

the Exchange Act, as soon as reasonably practicable upon delivery of such
reports to the Trustee.
Section 4.04. Distribution of Reports to the Trustee and
the Company; Advances by the Master Servicer.
(a) Prior to the close of business on the Determination Date, the Master
Servicer shall furnish a written statement to the Trustee, any Paying Agent
and the Company (the information in such statement to be made available to
any Certificate Insurer and Certificateholders by the Master Servicer on
request) setting forth (i) the Available Distribution Amount and (ii) the
amounts required to be withdrawn from the Custodial Account and deposited
into the Certificate Account on the immediately succeeding Certificate
Account Deposit Date pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 4.01(a). The
determination by the Master Servicer of such amounts shall, in the absence of
obvious error, be presumptively deemed to be correct for all purposes
hereunder and the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon the same without
any independent check or verification.
(b) On or before 2:00 P.M. New York time on each Certificate Account
Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall either (i) deposit in the Certificate
Account from its own funds, or funds received therefor from the Subservicers,
an amount equal to the Advances to be made by the Master Servicer in respect
of the related Distribution Date, which shall be in an aggregate amount equal
to the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion
thereof adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate), less the amount of any related
Servicing Modifications, Debt Service Reductions or reductions in the amount
of interest collectable from the Mortgagor pursuant to the Servicemembers
Civil Relief Act, as amended, or similar legislation or regulations then in
effect, on the Outstanding Mortgage Loans as of the related Due Date, which
Monthly Payments were not received as of the close of business as of the
related Determination Date; provided that no Advance shall be made if it
would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, (ii) withdraw from amounts on deposit in
the Custodial Account and deposit in the Certificate Account all or a portion
of the Amount Held for Future Distribution in discharge of any such Advance,
or (iii) make advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii)
aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any portion of the Amount Held for
Future Distribution so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by
deposit in the Certificate Account on or before 11:00 A.M. New York time on
any future Certificate Account Deposit Date to the extent that funds
attributable to the Mortgage Loans that are available in the Custodial
Account for deposit in the Certificate Account on such Certificate Account
Deposit Date shall be less than payments to Certificateholders required to be
made on the following Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall be
entitled to use any Advance made by a Subservicer as described in Section
3.07(b) that has been deposited in the Custodial Account on or before such
Distribution Date as part of the Advance made by the Master Servicer pursuant
to this Section 4.04. The amount of any reimbursement pursuant to Section
4.02(a) in respect of outstanding Advances on any Distribution Date shall be
allocated to specific Monthly Payments due but delinquent for previous Due
Periods, which allocation shall be made, to the extent practicable, to
Monthly Payments which have been delinquent for the longest period of time.
Such allocations shall be conclusive for purposes of reimbursement to the
Master Servicer from recoveries on related Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section
3.10.
The determination by the Master 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 delivered to the Company and the Trustee.
If the Master Servicer determines as of the Business Day preceding any
Certificate Account Deposit Date that it will be unable to deposit in the
Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance required to be made for
the immediately succeeding Distribution Date, it shall give notice to the
Trustee of its inability to advance (such notice may be given by telecopy),
not later than 3:00 P.M., New York time, on such Business Day, specifying the
portion of such amount that it will be unable to deposit. Not later than
3:00 P.M., New York time, on the Certificate Account Deposit Date the Trustee
shall, unless by 12:00 Noon, New York time, on such day the Trustee shall
have been notified in writing (by telecopy) that the Master Servicer shall
have directly or indirectly deposited in the Certificate Account such portion
of the amount of the Advance as to which the Master Servicer shall have given
notice pursuant to the preceding sentence, pursuant to Section 7.01, (a)
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01 and (b) assume the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to
deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance for the
immediately succeeding Distribution Date.
The Trustee shall deposit all funds it receives pursuant to this
Section 4.04 into the Certificate Account.

As provided in Section 4.05 of the Series Supplement.
Section 4.06. Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonment of Mortgaged
Property.

business, the reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged
Property and the information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness
income with respect to any Mortgaged Property required by Sections 6050H,
6050J and 6050P, respectively, of the Code, and deliver to the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate on or before March 31 of each year stating that such
reports have been filed. Such reports shall be in form and substance
sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by Sections 6050H,
6050J and 6050P of the Code.
Section 4.07. Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is delinquent in payment by 90
days or more, the Master Servicer may, at its option, purchase such Mortgage
Loan from the Trustee at the Purchase Price therefor; provided, that such
Mortgage Loan that becomes 90 days or more delinquent during any given
Calendar Quarter shall only be eligible for purchase pursuant to this Section
during the period beginning on the first Business Day of the following
Calendar Quarter, and ending at the close of business on the second-to-last
Business Day of such following Calendar Quarter; and provided, further, that
such Mortgage Loan is 90 days or more delinquent at the time of repurchase.
Such option if not exercised shall not thereafter be reinstated as to any
Mortgage Loan, unless the delinquency is cured and the Mortgage Loan
thereafter again becomes delinquent in payment by 90 days or more in a
subsequent Calendar Quarter.
(b) If at any time the Master Servicer makes a payment to the Certificate
Account covering the amount of the Purchase Price for such a Mortgage Loan as
provided in clause (a) above, and the Master Servicer provides to the Trustee
a certification signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the amount of such
payment has been deposited in the Certificate Account, then the Trustee shall
execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan at the request of the Master
Servicer, without recourse, to the Master Servicer, which shall succeed to
all the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan, and
all security and documents relative thereto. Such assignment shall be an
assignment outright and not for security. The Master Servicer will thereupon
own such Mortgage, and all such security and documents, free of any further
obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect thereto.
If, however, the Master Servicer shall have exercised its right to
repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 4.07 upon the written
request of and with funds provided by the Junior Certificateholder and
thereupon transferred such Mortgage Loan to the Junior Certificateholder, the
Master Servicer shall so notify the Trustee in writing.
Section 4.08. Surety Bond.
(a) If a Required Surety Payment is payable pursuant to the Surety Bond
with respect to any Additional Collateral Loan, the Master Servicer shall so
notify the Trustee as soon as reasonably practicable and the Trustee shall
promptly complete the notice in the form of Attachment 1 to the Surety Bond
and shall promptly submit such notice to the Surety as a claim for a Required
Surety. The Master Servicer shall upon request assist the Trustee in
completing such notice and shall provide any information requested by the
Trustee in connection therewith.
(b) Upon receipt of a Required Surety Payment from the Surety on behalf of
the Holders of Certificates, the Trustee shall deposit such Required Surety
Payment in the Certificate Account and shall distribute such Required Surety
Payment, or the proceeds thereof, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.02.
(c) The Trustee shall (i) receive as attorney-in-fact of each Holder of a
Certificate any Required Surety Payment from the Surety and (ii) disburse the
same to the Holders of such Certificates as set forth in Section 4.02.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01. The Certificates.
(a) The Senior, Class X, Class M, Class B, Class P, Class SB and Class R
Certificates shall be substantially in the forms set forth in Exhibits A,
A-I, B, C, C-I, C-II and D, respectively, or such other form or forms as
shall be set forth in the Series Supplement, and shall, on original issue, be
executed and delivered by the Trustee to the Certificate Registrar for
authentication and delivery to or upon the order of the Company upon receipt
by the Trustee or the Custodian of the documents specified in Section 2.01.
The Certificates shall be issuable in the minimum denominations designated in
the Preliminary Statement to the Series Supplement.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on
behalf of an authorized officer of the Trustee. Certificates bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper
officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Certificate 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 for herein executed by the Certificate Registrar by manual
signature, and such certificate upon any Certificate 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) Except as provided below, registration of Book-Entry Certificates may
not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository that agrees to
hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership
Interests therein. The Holders of the Book-Entry Certificates shall hold
their respective Ownership Interests in and to each of such Certificates
through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided
below, shall not be entitled to 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 transfer the Ownership Interests only 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 Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Company may for all purposes
(including the making of payments due on the respective Classes of Book-Entry
Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of
the Certificate Owners with respect to the respective Classes of Book-Entry
Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders
hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the respective
Classes of 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 any Class of 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 Trustee 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 Company advises the Trustee in writing that the
Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository and (B) the Company is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) the Company notifies the Depository and the
Trustee of its intent to terminate the book-entry system and, upon receipt of
notice of such intent from the Depository, the Depository Participants
holding beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Certificates agree to such
termination through the Depository, the Trustee 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 Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by
the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository
for registration of transfer, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and
deliver the Definitive Certificates. In addition, if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, each Certificate Owner materially adversely
affected thereby may at its option request a Definitive Certificate
evidencing such Certificate Owner's Percentage Interest in the related Class
of Certificates. In order to make such a request, such Certificate Owner
shall, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, provide the
Depository or the related Depository Participant with directions for the
Certificate Registrar to exchange or cause the exchange of the Certificate
Owner's interest in such Class of Certificates for an equivalent Percentage
Interest in fully registered definitive form. Upon receipt by the
Certificate Registrar of instructions from the Depository directing the
Certificate Registrar to effect such exchange (such instructions shall
contain information regarding the Class of Certificates and the Certificate
Principal Balance being exchanged, the Depository Participant account to be
debited with the decrease, the registered holder of and delivery instructions
for the Definitive Certificate, and any other information reasonably required
by the Certificate Registrar), (i) the Certificate Registrar shall instruct
the Depository to reduce the related Depository Participant's account by the
aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Definitive Certificate, (ii)
the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate
and deliver, in accordance with the registration and delivery instructions
provided by the Depository, a Definitive Certificate evidencing such
Certificate Owner's Percentage Interest in such Class of Certificates and
(iii) the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall
authenticate a new Book-Entry Certificate reflecting the reduction in the
aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates by the
Certificate Principal Balance of the Definitive Certificate.
None of the Company, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be liable
for any actions taken by the Depository or its nominee, including, without
limitation, any delay in delivery of any instructions required under Section
5.01 and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee and
the Master Servicer shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
(c) If the Class A-V Certificates are Definitive Certificates, from time to
time Residential Funding, as the initial Holder of the Class A-V
Certificates, may exchange such Holder's Class A-V Certificates for
Subclasses of Class A-V Certificates to be issued under this Agreement by
delivering a "Request for Exchange" substantially in the form attached to
this Agreement as Exhibit N executed by an authorized officer, which
Subclasses, in the aggregate, will represent the Uncertificated Class A-V
REMIC Regular Interests corresponding to the Class A-V Certificates so
surrendered for exchange. Any Subclass so issued shall bear a numerical
designation commencing with Class A-V-1 and continuing sequentially
thereafter, and will evidence ownership of the Uncertificated REMIC Regular
Interest or Interests specified in writing by such initial Holder to the
Trustee. The Trustee may conclusively, without any independent verification,
rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, Residential Funding's
determinations of the Uncertificated Class A-V REMIC Regular Interests
corresponding to any Subclass, the Initial Notional Amount and the initial
Pass-Through Rate on a Subclass as set forth in such Request for Exchange and
the Trustee shall have no duty to determine if any Uncertificated Class A-V
REMIC Regular Interest designated on a Request for Exchange corresponds to a
Subclass which has previously been issued. Each Subclass so issued shall be
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A and shall, on original
issue, be executed and delivered by the Trustee to the Certificate Registrar
for authentication and delivery in accordance with Section 5.01(a). Every
Certificate presented or surrendered for exchange by the initial Holder shall
(if so required by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed
by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer attached to such
Certificate and shall be completed to the satisfaction of the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the initial Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing. The Certificates of any Subclass of
Class A-V Certificates may be transferred in whole, but not in part, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.02.
Section 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to
be appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.12
a Certificate Register 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. The
Trustee is initially appointed Certificate Registrar for the purpose of
registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as
herein provided. The Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee, shall provide
the Master Servicer with a certified list of Certificateholders as of each
Record Date prior to the related Determination Date.
(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any
office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to
Section 8.12 and, in the case of any Class M, Class B, Class P or Class R
Certificate, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Trustee
shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver,
in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Certificates of a like Class (or Subclass) and aggregate Percentage Interest.
(c) At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like Class (or
Subclass) and aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange the Trustee shall execute and
the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates of
such Class 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 Trustee or the Certificate Registrar) be duly
endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by,
the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(d) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Class B Certificate
or Class P Certificate shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or
other disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws
or is made in accordance with said Act and laws. In the event that a
transfer of a Class B Certificate or Class P Certificate is to be made either
(i)(A) the Trustee shall require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to
and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company that
such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable
exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made
pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer (except that, if
such transfer is made by the Company or the Master Servicer or any Affiliate
thereof, the Company or the Master Servicer shall provide such Opinion of
Counsel at their own expense); provided that such Opinion of Counsel will not
be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate
by the Company or any Affiliate thereof to the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company and (B) the Trustee shall require the transferee to execute a
representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit H (with respect
to any Class B Certificate) or Exhibit G-1 (with respect to any Class P
Certificate) hereto, and the Trustee shall require the transferor to execute
a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, each
acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and the
Trustee certifying to the Company and the Trustee the facts surrounding such
transfer, which representation letters shall not be an expense of the
Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer; provided, however, that such
representation letters will not be required in connection with any transfer
of any such Certificate by the Company or any Affiliate thereof to the
Company or an Affiliate of the Company, and the Trustee shall be entitled to
conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the
Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Company, of the status
of such transferee as an Affiliate of the Company or (ii) the prospective
transferee of such a Certificate shall be required to provide the Trustee,
the Company and the Master Servicer with an investment letter substantially
in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto (or such other form as the Company
in its sole discretion deems acceptable), which investment letter shall not
be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer, and which
investment letter states that, among other things, such transferee (A) is a
"qualified institutional buyer" as defined under Rule 144A, acting for its
own account or the accounts of other "qualified institutional buyers" as
defined under Rule 144A, and (B) is aware that the proposed transferor
intends to rely on the exemption from registration requirements under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Rule 144A. The Holder of any
such Certificate desiring to effect any such transfer, sale, pledge or other
disposition shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the
Company, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar against any
liability that may result if the transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition
is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state
laws.
(e) (i) In the case of any Class B, Class P or Class R Certificate
presented for registration in the name of any Person, either (A)
the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the
Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer, acceptable to and
in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect
that the purchase or holding of such Class B, Class P or Class R
Certificate is permissible under applicable law, will not
constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction
under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of the Code (or
comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), and will not
subject the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer to any
obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities
under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those
undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not
be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer
or (B) the prospective Transferee shall be required to provide
the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer with a
certification to the effect set forth in paragraph six of Exhibit
H (with respect to any Class B Certificate) or paragraph fifteen
of Exhibit G-1 (with respect to any Class R Certificate or Class
P Certificate), which the Trustee may rely upon without further
inquiry or investigation, or such other certifications as the
Trustee may deem desirable or necessary in order to establish
that such Transferee or the Person in whose name such
registration is requested either (a) is not an employee benefit
plan or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction
provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or any Person
(including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee
of any such plan) who is using "plan assets" of any such plan to
effect such acquisition (each, a "Plan Investor") or (b) in the
case of any Class B Certificate, the following conditions are
satisfied: (i) such Transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the
source of funds used to purchase or hold such Certificate (or
interest therein) is an "insurance company general account" (as
defined in U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60, and (iii) the conditions set forth in
Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied (each entity
that satisfies this clause (b), a "Complying Insurance Company").
(ii) Any Transferee of a Class M Certificate will be deemed to
have represented by virtue of its purchase or holding of such
Certificate (or interest therein) that either (a) such Transferee
is not a Plan Investor, (b) it has acquired and is holding such
Certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption
("PTE") 94-29, as most recently amended, PTE 2002-41, 67 Fed.
Reg. 54487 (August 22, 2002) (the "RFC Exemption"), and that it
understands that there are certain conditions to the availability
of the RFC Exemption including that such Certificate must be
rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or its
equivalent) by Standard & Poor's, Fitch or Moody's or (c) such
Transferee is a Complying Insurance Company.
(iii) (A) If any Class M Certificate (or any interest therein)
is acquired or held by any Person that does not satisfy the
conditions described in paragraph (ii) above, then the last
preceding Transferee that either (i) is not a Plan Investor, (ii)
acquired such Certificate in compliance with the RFC Exemption,
or (iii) is a Complying Insurance Company shall be restored, to
the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as
Certificate Owner thereof retroactive to the date of such
Transfer of such Class M Certificate. The Trustee shall be under
no liability to any Person for making any payments due on such
Certificate to such preceding Transferee.
(B) Any purported Certificate Owner whose acquisition or
holding of any Class M Certificate (or interest therein) was
effected in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(e)
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Trustee, the
Master Servicer, any Subservicer, the Underwriters and the Trust
Fund from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or
expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition
or holding.
(f) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Class R 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 Trustee 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 Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the
following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly
notify the Trustee 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
Class R Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery to it,
and shall not register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate
until its receipt of, (I) an affidavit and agreement (a "Transfer
Affidavit and Agreement," in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
G-1) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Master Servicer, representing and warranting,
among other things, that it is a Permitted Transferee, that it is
not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate
that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee,
trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted
Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest
in a Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted
Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this
Section 5.02(f) and agrees to be bound by them, and (II) a
certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2, from the
Holder wishing to transfer the Class R Certificate, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer, representing and
warranting, among other things, that no purpose of the proposed
Transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a
proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee who is assigned to this Agreement has
actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted
Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to
transfer its Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate and (y)
not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides a
certificate to the Trustee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
G-2.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such
Certificate, agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is
a "pass-through interest holder" within the meaning of Temporary
Treasury Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon
acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, if it
is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate
on behalf of, a "pass-through interest holder."
(ii) The Trustee shall register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate only
if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement, a
certificate of the Holder requesting such transfer in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit G-2 and all of such other documents as shall have
been reasonably required by the Trustee as a condition to such
registration. Transfers of the Class R Certificates to Non-United
States Persons and Disqualified Organizations (as defined in Section
860E(e)(5) of the Code) are prohibited.
(iii) (A) If any Disqualified Organization shall become a holder of a
Class R Certificate, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall
be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and
obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration
of such Transfer of such Class R Certificate. If a Non-United States
Person shall become a holder of a Class R Certificate, then the last
preceding United States Person shall be restored, to the extent
permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class
R Certificate. If a transfer of a Class R Certificate is disregarded
pursuant to the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or
Section 1.860G-3, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations
as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such
Transfer of such Class R Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class R
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(f) 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.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R
Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section
5.02(f) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the
rights of the Holder of such Class R Certificate as described in
clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
then the Master Servicer shall have the right, without notice to
the holder or any prior holder of such Class R Certificate, to
sell such Class R Certificate to a purchaser selected by the
Master Servicer on such terms as the Master Servicer may choose.
Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each
Class R Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the
Master Servicer. Such purchaser may be the Master Servicer
itself or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer. The proceeds of
such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions
payable to the Master Servicer or its Affiliates), expenses and
taxes due, if any, shall be remitted by the Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall
not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate as a result of its exercise of such
discretion.
(iv) The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall make available,
upon written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to
compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified
Organization, including the information regarding "excess inclusions"
of such Class R Certificates required to be provided to the Internal
Revenue Service and certain Persons as described in Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5), and (B) as a
result of any regulated investment company, real estate investment
trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization
described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest
in a Class R Certificate having as among its record holders at any time
any Person who is a Disqualified Organization. Reasonable compensation
for providing such information may be required by the Master Servicer
from such Person.
(v) The provisions of this Section 5.02(f) set forth prior to this clause
(v) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall
have been delivered to the Trustee 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, if any, of any Class of the Senior (in the case of the
Insured Certificates (as defined in the Series Supplement), such
determination shall be made without giving effect to the
Certificate Policy (as defined in the Series Supplement)), Class
M or Class B Certificates below the lower of the then-current
rating or the rating assigned to such Certificates as of the
Closing Date by such Rating Agency; and
(B) subject to Section 10.01(f), an Officers' Certificate of the Master
Servicer stating that the Master Servicer has received an Opinion
of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Master
Servicer, to the effect that such modification, addition to or
absence of such provisions will not cause any portion of any
REMIC formed under the Series Supplement to cease to qualify as a
REMIC and will not cause (x) any portion of any REMIC formed
under the Series Supplement to be subject to an entity-level tax
caused by the Transfer of any Class R Certificate to a Person
that is a Disqualified Organization or (y) a Certificateholder or
another Person to be subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the
Transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee.
(g) No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of
Certificates of any Class, but the Trustee 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
destroyed by the Certificate Registrar.
Section 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate
Registrar, or the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar receive evidence to
their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and
(ii) there is delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate
and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor, Class and
Percentage Interest but bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee 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 Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to
this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership
in the Trust Fund, 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.
Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, any Certificate
Insurer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, any Certificate Insurer or the Certificate Registrar
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 4.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, except as and to the
extent provided in the definition of "Certificateholder," and neither the
Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, any Certificate Insurer, the
Certificate Registrar nor any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, any Certificate Insurer or the Certificate Registrar shall be
affected by notice to the contrary except as provided in Section 5.02(f).
Section 5.05. Appointment of Paying Agent.
The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent for the purpose of making
distributions to the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.02. In the
event of any such appointment, on or prior to each Distribution Date the
Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall deposit or cause to be
deposited with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to make the payments to the
Certificateholders in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section
4.02, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
The Trustee shall cause each Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee
that such Paying Agent shall hold all sums held by it for the payment to the
Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders
entitled thereto until such sums shall be distributed to such
Certificateholders. Any sums so held by such Paying Agent shall be held only
in Eligible Accounts to the extent such sums are not distributed to the
Certificateholders on the date of receipt by such Paying Agent.
Section 5.06. U.S.A. Patriot Act Compliance.
In order for it to comply with its duties under the U.S.A. Patriot Act,
the Trustee may obtain and verify certain information from the other parties
hereto, including but not limited to such parties' name, address and other
identifying information.

The Company and the Master Servicer shall each be liable in accordance
herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and respectively
imposed upon and undertaken by the Company and the Master Servicer herein.
By way of illustration and not limitation, the Company is not liable for the
servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, nor is it obligated by
Section 7.01 or Section 10.01 to assume any obligations of the Master
Servicer or to appoint a designee to assume such obligations, nor is it
liable for any other obligation hereunder that it may, but is not obligated
to, assume unless it elects to assume such obligation in accordance herewith.
Section 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Company or the Master
Servicer; Assignment of Rights and Delegation of Duties by
Master Servicer.
(a) The Company and the Master Servicer shall each keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state
of its incorporation and as a limited liability company under the laws of the
state of its organization, respectively, and shall each obtain and preserve
its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation or other Person 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.
(b) Any Person into which the Company or the Master Servicer may be merged
or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Company or the
Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of
the Company or the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the Company 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 in this Section 6.02(b) 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 Xxx
or Xxxxxxx Mac; and provided further that the Master Servicer (or the
Company, as applicable) shall notify each Rating Agency and the Trustee in
writing of any such merger, conversion or consolidation at least 30 days
prior to the effective date of such event.
(c) Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 6.02 and Section 6.04 to
the contrary, the Master Servicer may assign its rights and delegate its
duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided that the Person
accepting such assignment or delegation shall be a Person which is qualified
to service mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, is
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company, is willing to service
the Mortgage Loans and executes and delivers to the Company and the Trustee
an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company
and the Trustee, 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 the Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided
further that each Rating Agency's rating of the Classes of Certificates (in
the case of the Insured Certificates (as defined in the Series Supplement),
such determination shall be made without giving effect to the Certificate
Policy (as defined in the Series Supplement)) that have been rated in effect
immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified,
reduced or withdrawn as a result of such assignment and delegation (as
evidenced by a letter to such effect from each Rating Agency). In the case
of any such assignment and delegation, the Master Servicer shall be released
from its obligations under this Agreement, except that the Master Servicer
shall remain liable for all liabilities and obligations incurred by it as
Master Servicer hereunder prior to the satisfaction of the conditions to such
assignment and delegation set forth in the next preceding sentence.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a pledge or assignment by the
Master Servicer solely of its rights to purchase all assets of the Trust Fund
under Section 9.01(a) (or, if so specified in Section 9.01(a), its rights to
purchase the Mortgage Loans and property acquired related to such Mortgage
Loans or its rights to purchase the Certificates related thereto), the
provisos of the first sentence of this paragraph will not apply.
Section 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Company,
the Master Servicer and Others.
Neither the Company, the Master Servicer nor any of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of the Company or the Master Servicer shall be
under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however,
that this provision shall not protect the Company, the Master Servicer or any
such Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein
or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by
reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The
Company, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Company or 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. The Company, the Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or the Master Servicer
shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless 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
related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such
loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this
Agreement) and 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.
Neither the Company nor the Master Servicer shall be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal or administrative
action, proceeding, hearing or examination that is not incidental to its
respective duties under this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve
it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Company or the
Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action, proceeding,
hearing or examination that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to
this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the
interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal
expenses and costs of such action, proceeding, hearing or examination and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Fund, and the Company and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans on
deposit in the Custodial Account as provided by Section 3.10 and, on the
Distribution Date(s) following such reimbursement, the aggregate of such
expenses and costs shall be allocated in reduction of the Accrued Certificate
Interest on each Class entitled thereto in the same manner as if such
expenses and costs constituted a Prepayment Interest Shortfall.
Section 6.04. Company and Master Servicer Not to Resign.
Subject to the provisions of Section 6.02, neither the Company nor the
Master Servicer shall resign from its respective obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are
no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination
permitting the resignation of the Company or the Master Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee.
No such resignation by the Master Servicer shall become effective until the
Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations in accordance with Section 7.02.
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
Section 7.01. Events of Default.
Event of Default, wherever used herein, means any one of the following
events (whatever reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be
voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to
any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation
of any administrative or governmental body):
(i) the Master Servicer shall fail to deposit or cause to be deposited into
the Certificate Account any amounts required to be so deposited therein
at the time required pursuant to Section 4.01 or otherwise or the
Master Servicer shall fail to distribute or cause to be distributed to
the Holders of Certificates of any Class any distribution required to
be made under the terms of the Certificates of such Class and this
Agreement and, in each case, such failure shall continue unremedied for
a period of 5 days after the date upon which written notice of such
failure, requiring such failure to be remedied, shall have been given
to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Company or to the Master
Servicer, the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates of
such Class evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than
25%; or
(ii) the Master Servicer shall fail to observe or perform in any material
respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the
Master Servicer contained in the Certificates of any Class or in this
Agreement and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30
days (except that such number of days shall be 15 in the case of a
failure to pay the premium for any Required Insurance Policy) after the
date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee
or the Company, or to the Master Servicer, the Company and the Trustee
by the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, in the case of
any such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25%; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having
jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present
or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or
appointing a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar
proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall
have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order
shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of
60 days; or
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator
or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities, or similar proceedings of, or
relating to, the Master Servicer or of, or relating to, all or
substantially all of the property of the Master Servicer; or
(v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its
debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage
of, or commence a voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency or
reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(vi) the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee pursuant to Section
4.04(b) that it is unable to deposit in the Certificate Account an
amount equal to the Advance.
If an Event of Default described in clauses (i)-(v) of this Section
shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of
Default shall not have been remedied, either the Company or the Trustee may,
and at the direction of Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of
the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master
Servicer (and to the Company if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if
given by the Company), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the
proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. If
an Event of Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall occur, the Trustee
shall, by notice to the Master Servicer and the Company, immediately
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other
than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder as provided in Section
4.04(b). On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written
notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement,
whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder thereof) or
the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall subject to Section 7.02 pass to and be
vested in the Trustee or the Trustee's designee appointed pursuant to Section
7.02; 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 responsibilities and
rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee
or its designee for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at
the time be credited to the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account or
thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. No such
termination shall release the Master Servicer for any liability that it would
otherwise have hereunder for any act or omission prior to the effective time
of such termination.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of Residential
Funding in its capacity as Master Servicer hereunder, Residential Funding
shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a Monthly Payment
on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating Residential
Funding's rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and received
after such notice, that portion to which Residential Funding would have been
entitled pursuant to Sections 3.10(a)(ii), (vi) and (vii) as well as its
Servicing Fee in respect thereof, and any other amounts payable to
Residential Funding hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the
termination of its activities hereunder. Upon the termination of Residential
Funding as Master Servicer hereunder the Company shall deliver to the Trustee
a copy of the Program Guide.
Section 7.02. Trustee or Company to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or resigns in accordance with Section
6.04, the Trustee or, upon notice to the Company and with the Company's
consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) a designee (which meets
the standards set forth below) of the Trustee, shall be the successor in all
respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be
subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto
placed on the Master Servicer (except for the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities contained in Sections 2.02 and 2.03(a), excluding the duty to
notify related Subservicers or Sellers as set forth in such Sections, and its
obligations to deposit amounts in respect of losses incurred prior to such
notice or termination on the investment of funds in the Custodial Account or
the Certificate Account pursuant to Sections 3.07(c) and 4.01(b) by the terms
and provisions hereof); provided, however, that any failure to perform such
duties or responsibilities caused by the preceding Master Servicer's failure
to provide information required by Section 4.04 shall not be considered a
default by the Trustee hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee
shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which the
Master Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the Custodial Account
or the Certificate Account if the Master Servicer had continued to act
hereunder and, in addition, shall be entitled to the income from any
Permitted Investments made with amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans
held in the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account. If the Trustee has
become the successor to the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 6.04
or Section 7.01, then notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall
be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint, or
petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established
housing and home finance institution, which is also a Xxxxxx Xxx- or Xxxxxxx
Mac-approved mortgage servicing institution, 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. Pending appointment of a successor to the
Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall become successor to the Master
Servicer and 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
Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that
no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the initial Master
Servicer hereunder. The Company, the Trustee, the Custodian and such
successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be
necessary to effectuate any such succession. The Servicing Fee for any
successor Master Servicer appointed pursuant to this Section 7.02 will be
lowered with respect to those Mortgage Loans, if any, where the Subservicing
Fee accrues at a rate of less than 0.20% per annum in the event that the
successor Master Servicer is not servicing such Mortgage Loans directly and
it is necessary to raise the related Subservicing Fee to a rate of 0.20% per
annum in order to hire a Subservicer with respect to such Mortgage Loans.
The Master Servicer shall pay the reasonable expenses of the Trustee in
connection with any servicing transition hereunder.
(b) In connection with the termination or resignation of the Master
Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor Master Servicer, including the
Trustee if the Trustee is acting as successor Master Servicer, shall
represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall
agree to comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of
MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are
registered with MERS, in which case the predecessor Master Servicer shall
cooperate with the successor Master Servicer in causing MERS to revise its
records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor Master Servicer
as necessary under MERS' rules and regulations, or (ii) the predecessor
Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer in causing
MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to
transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver
such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or
desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such
Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R)System to the successor Master Servicer. The
predecessor Master Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such
assignment in the appropriate recording office. The predecessor Master
Servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any
assignments of Mortgage, and fees and costs of filing any assignments of
Mortgage that may be required under this subsection (b). The successor
Master Servicer shall cause such assignment to be delivered to the Trustee or
the Custodian promptly upon receipt of the original with evidence of
recording thereon or a copy certified by the public recording office in which
such assignment was recorded.
Section 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any such termination or appointment of a successor to the Master
Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each
such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of
Default shall have been cured or waived.
Section 7.04. Waiver of Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights affected by
a default or Event of Default hereunder may waive such default or Event of
Default; provided, however, that (a) a default or Event of Default under
clause (i) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of
Certificates affected by such default or Event of Default and (b) no waiver
pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall affect the Holders of Certificates in the
manner set forth in Section 11.01(b)(i) or (ii). Upon any such waiver of a
default or Event of Default by the Holders representing the requisite
percentage of Voting Rights affected by such default or Event of Default,
such default or Event of Default 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 Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.01. Duties of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after
the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred,
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically
set forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which
has not been cured or waived), the Trustee 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 investor would exercise or use under
the circumstances in the conduct of such investor's own affairs.
(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee 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. The Trustee shall notify the
Certificateholders of any such documents which do not materially conform to
the requirements of this Agreement in the event that the Trustee, after so
requesting, does not receive satisfactorily corrected documents.
The Trustee shall forward or cause to be forwarded in a timely fashion
the notices, reports and statements required to be forwarded by the Trustee
pursuant to Sections 4.03, 4.06, 7.03 and 10.01. The Trustee shall furnish
in a timely fashion to the Master Servicer such information as the Master
Servicer may reasonably request from time to time for the Master Servicer to
fulfill its duties as set forth in this Agreement. The Trustee covenants and
agrees that it shall perform its obligations hereunder in a manner so as to
maintain the status of any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series
Supplement as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and (subject to Section
10.01(f)) to prevent the imposition of any federal, state or local income,
prohibited transaction, contribution or other tax on the Trust Fund to the
extent that maintaining such status and avoiding such taxes are reasonably
within the control of the Trustee and are reasonably within the scope of its
duties under this Agreement.
(c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing or
waiver of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the
duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee 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 and,
in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee 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 by the Company or the Master Servicer
and which on their face, do not contradict the requirements of this
Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment
made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of
the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent
in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) The Trustee shall not 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 Certificateholders of any Class
holding Certificates which evidence, as to such Class, Percentage
Interests aggregating not less than 25% as to the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee,
under this Agreement;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default (other
than a default in payment to the Trustee) specified in clauses (i) and
(ii) of Section 7.01 or an Event of Default under clauses (iii), (iv)
and (v) of Section 7.01 unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
assigned to and working in the Corporate Trust Office obtains actual
knowledge of such failure or event or the Trustee receives written
notice of such failure or event at its Corporate Trust Office from the
Master Servicer, the Company or any Certificateholder; and
(v) Except to the extent provided in Section 7.02, no provision in this
Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
(including, without limitation, the making of any Advance) or otherwise
incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties as Trustee hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or
powers, if the Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability
is not reasonably assured to it.
(d) The Trustee shall timely pay, from its own funds, the amount of any and
all federal, state and local taxes imposed on the Trust Fund or its assets or
transactions including, without limitation, (A) "prohibited transaction"
penalty taxes as defined in Section 860F of the Code, if, when and as the
same shall be due and payable, (B) any tax on contributions to a REMIC after
the Closing Date imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code and (C) any tax on
"net income from foreclosure property" as defined in Section 860G(c) of the
Code, but only if such taxes arise out of a breach by the Trustee of its
obligations hereunder, which breach constitutes negligence or willful
misconduct of the Trustee.
Section 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The Trustee may rely 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) The Trustee 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) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts
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, pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have
offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or
thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee
of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (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 investor would exercise
or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such investor's own
affairs;
(iv) The Trustee shall not 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 an Event of Default hereunder and after the
curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the
Trustee shall not 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 document, unless requested in writing so to do by
Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to such Class,
Percentage Interests, aggregating not less than 50%; provided, however,
that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee 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, not
reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the
terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity
against such expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding. The
reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the
Master Servicer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is
continuing, and otherwise by the Certificateholder requesting the
investigation;
(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys; and
(vii) To the extent authorized under the Code and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, each Holder of a Class R Certificate hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Trustee to be its attorney-in-fact for
purposes of signing any Tax Returns required to be filed on behalf of
the Trust Fund. The Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust Fund and
deliver to the Master Servicer in a timely manner any Tax Returns
prepared by or on behalf of the Master Servicer that the Trustee is
required to sign as determined by the Master Servicer pursuant to
applicable federal, state or local tax laws, provided that the Master
Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for signing any such Tax Returns
that contain errors or omissions.
(b) Following the issuance of the Certificates, the Trustee shall not
accept any contribution of assets to the Trust Fund unless (subject to
Section 10.01(f)) it shall have obtained or been furnished with an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such contribution will not (i) cause any portion
of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement to fail to qualify as a REMIC
at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or (ii) cause the Trust
Fund to be subject to any federal tax as a result of such contribution
(including the imposition of any federal tax on "prohibited transactions"
imposed under Section 860F(a) of the Code).
Section 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
execution of the Certificates and relating to the acceptance and receipt of
the Mortgage Loans) shall be taken as the statements of the Company or the
Master Servicer as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility
for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the
validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (except that
the Certificates shall be duly and validly executed and authenticated by it
as Certificate Registrar) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document, or of
MERS or the MERS(R)System. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee
shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company or the
Master Servicer of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such
Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Company
or the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or
withdrawn from the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account by the
Company or the Master Servicer.
Section 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it
were not Trustee.
Section 8.05. Master Servicer to Pay Trustee's Fees
and Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee and any
co-trustee from time to time, and the Trustee and any co-trustee shall be
entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust) for all services rendered by each of them in the execution of the
trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the
powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee and any co-trustee, and the Master
Servicer will pay or reimburse the Trustee and any co-trustee upon request
for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by
the Trustee or any co-trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of
this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ,
and the expenses incurred by the Trustee or any co-trustee in connection with
the appointment of an office or agency pursuant to Section 8.12) except any
such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad
faith.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold
the Trustee harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without
negligence or willful misconduct on the Trustee's part, arising out of, or in
connection with, the acceptance and administration of the Trust Fund,
including the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and
expenses) of defending itself against any claim in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Agreement
and the Custodial Agreement, and the Master Servicer further agrees to
indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold the Trustee harmless against, any
loss, liability or expense arising out of, or in connection with, the
provisions set forth in the second paragraph of Section 2.01(c) hereof,
including, without limitation, all costs, liabilities and expenses (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses) of investigating and defending itself
against any claim, action or proceeding, pending or threatened, relating to
the provisions of this paragraph, provided that:
(i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee shall have given the Master
Servicer written notice thereof promptly after the Trustee shall have
actual knowledge thereof;
(ii) while maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee shall
cooperate and consult fully with the Master Servicer in preparing such
defense; and
(iii) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master
Servicer shall not be liable for settlement of any claim by the Trustee
entered into without the prior consent of the Master Servicer which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations created by this
Section 8.05(b) of the Master Servicer to indemnify the Trustee under the
conditions and to the extent set forth herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification provided by the
Master Servicer in this Section 8.05(b) shall not be available (A) for any
loss, liability or expense of the Trustee, including the costs and expenses
of defending itself against any claim, incurred in connection with any
actions taken by the Trustee at the direction of the Certificateholders
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (B) where the Trustee is required
to indemnify the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 12.05(a).
Section 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or a national
banking association having its principal office in a state and city
acceptable to the Company and organized and doing business under the laws of
such state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority and the short-term rating of such institution shall be A-1 in the
case of Standard & Poor's if Standard & Poor's is a Rating Agency. If such
corporation or national banking association 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 the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section
8.07.
Section 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
(a) The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Company. Upon
receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the
successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and
have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
(b) If at any time the Trustee 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 Company, or if at any time the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then
the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to
the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee. In addition,
in the event that the Company determines that the Trustee has failed (i) to
distribute or cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders any amount
required to be distributed hereunder, if such amount is held by the Trustee
or its Paying Agent (other than the Master Servicer or the Company) for
distribution or (ii) to otherwise observe or perform in any material respect
any of its covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder, and such failure
shall continue unremedied for a period of 5 days (in respect of clause (i)
above) or 30 days (in respect of clause (ii) above other than any failure to
comply with the provisions of Article XII, in which case no notice or grace
period shall be applicable) after the date on which written notice of such
failure, requiring that the same be remedied, shall have been given to the
Trustee by the Company, then the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument delivered as provided in the
preceding sentence. In connection with the appointment of a successor
trustee pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall, on or before
the date on which any such appointment becomes effective, obtain from each
Rating Agency written confirmation that the appointment of any such successor
trustee will not result in the reduction of the ratings on any class of the
Certificates below the lesser of the then current or original ratings on such
Certificates.
(c) The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee 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 Company, one complete set to the
Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed.
(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.
Section 8.08. Successor Trustee.
(a) Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor
trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and
such successor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with
all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder,
with the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The
predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all Custodial
Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder (other than
any Custodial Files at the time held by a Custodian, which shall become the
agent of any successor trustee hereunder), and the Company, the Master
Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such
rights, powers, duties and obligations.
(b) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.
(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section, the Company shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee
hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the
Certificate Register. If the Company fails to mail such notice within 10
days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor
trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.
Section 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation or national banking association into which the Trustee
may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any
corporation or national banking association resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation or national banking association succeeding to the business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation or national banking association shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 8.06, 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. The Trustee shall mail notice of any such
merger or consolidation to the Certificateholders at their address as shown
in the Certificate Register.
Section 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be
located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the
power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more
Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly
with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any
part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to
the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations,
rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider
necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such
appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or
in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee
or separate trustee 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.
(b) 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 (whether
as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the 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 the Trust Fund 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.
(c) 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 trusts 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.
(d) 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.
Section 8.11. Appointment of the Custodian.
The Trustee may, with the consent of the Master Servicer and the
Company, or shall, at the direction of the Company and the Master Servicer,
appoint custodians who are not Affiliates of the Company, the Master Servicer
or any Seller to hold all or a portion of the Custodial Files as agent for
the Trustee, by entering into a Custodial Agreement. Subject to Article
VIII, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial Agreement
with respect to the Custodial Files and to enforce the terms and provisions
thereof against the related custodian for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. Each custodian shall be a depository institution subject
to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have a combined capital
and surplus of at least $15,000,000 and shall be qualified to do business in
the jurisdiction in which it holds any Custodial File. Each Custodial
Agreement, with respect to the Custodial Files, may be amended only as
provided in Section 11.01. The Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders
of the appointment of any custodian (other than the custodian appointed as of
the Closing Date) pursuant to this Section 8.11.
Section 8.12. Appointment of Office or Agency.
The Trustee will maintain an office or agency in the United States at
the address designated in Section 11.05 of the Series Supplement where
Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The
Trustee will maintain an office at the address stated in Section 11.05 of the
Series Supplement where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect
of this Agreement may be served.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION OR OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF ALL CERTIFICATES
Section 9.01. Optional Purchase by the Master Servicer of All
Certificates; Termination Upon Purchase by the Master
Servicer or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.
(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created
hereby in respect of the Certificates (other than the obligation of the
Trustee to make certain payments after the Final Distribution Date to
Certificateholders and the obligation of the Company to send certain notices
as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon the last action required to be
taken by the Trustee on the Final Distribution Date pursuant to this Article
IX following the earlier of:
(i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance
with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust
Fund or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or
deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, or
(ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the
Trust Fund at a price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal balance of
each Mortgage Loan or, if less than such unpaid principal balance, the
fair market value of the related underlying property of such Mortgage
Loan with respect to Mortgage Loans as to which title has been acquired
if such fair market value is less than such unpaid principal balance
(net of any unreimbursed Advances attributable to principal) on the day
of repurchase plus accrued interest thereon at the Net Mortgage Rate
(or Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of any Modified Mortgage
Loan) to, but not including, the first day of the month in which such
repurchase price is distributed, 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 and provided further that the
purchase price set forth above shall be increased as is necessary, as
determined by the Master Servicer, to avoid disqualification of any
portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement as a REMIC.
The purchase price paid by the Master Servicer shall also include any
amounts owed by Residential Funding pursuant to the last paragraph of
Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement in respect of any liability,
penalty or expense that resulted from a breach of the Compliance With
Laws Representation, that remain unpaid on the date of such purchase.
The right of the Master Servicer to purchase all the assets of the
Trust Fund pursuant to clause (ii) above is conditioned upon the Pool Stated
Principal Balance as of the Final Distribution Date, prior to giving effect
to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, being less than ten
percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
If such right is exercised by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer
shall be deemed to have been reimbursed for the full amount of any
unreimbursed Advances theretofore made by it with respect to the Mortgage
Loans. In addition, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the
certification required by Section 3.15 and the Trustee and any Custodian
shall, promptly following payment of the purchase price, release to the
Master Servicer the Custodial Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans being
purchased.
In addition to the foregoing, on any Distribution Date on which the
Pool Stated Principal Balance, prior to giving effect to distributions to be
made on such Distribution Date, is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall have the
right, at its option, to purchase the Certificates in whole, but not in part,
at a price equal to the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such
Certificates plus the sum of Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for the
related Interest Accrual Period and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate
Interest. If the Master Servicer exercises this right to purchase the
outstanding Certificates, the Master Servicer will promptly terminate the
respective obligations and responsibilities created hereby in respect of the
Certificates pursuant to this Article IX.
(b) The Master Servicer shall give the Trustee not less than 40 days' prior
notice of the Distribution Date on which the Master Servicer anticipates that
the final distribution will be made to Certificateholders (whether as a
result of the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the
assets of the Trust Fund or otherwise) or on which the Master Servicer
anticipates that the Certificates will be purchased (as a result of the
exercise by the Master Servicer to purchase the outstanding Certificates).
Notice of any termination specifying the anticipated Final Distribution Date
(which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon
which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee
(if so required by the terms hereof) for payment of the final distribution
and cancellation or notice of any purchase of the outstanding Certificates,
specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Holders may surrender their
Certificates to the Trustee for payment, shall be given promptly by the
Master Servicer (if it is exercising its right to purchase the assets of the
Trust Fund or to purchase the outstanding Certificates), or by the Trustee
(in any other case) by letter. Such notice shall be prepared by the Master
Servicer (if it is exercising its right to purchase the assets of the Trust
Fund or to purchase the outstanding Certificates), or by the Trustee (in any
other case) and mailed by the Trustee to the Certificateholders not earlier
than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding
the month of such final distribution specifying:
(i) the anticipated Final Distribution Date upon which final payment of the
Certificates is anticipated to be made upon presentation and surrender
of Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein
designated where required pursuant to this Agreement or, in the case of
the purchase by the Master Servicer of the outstanding Certificates,
the Distribution Date on which such purchase is to be made,
(ii) the amount of any such final payment, or in the case of the purchase of
the outstanding Certificates, the purchase price, in either case, if
known, and
(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is
not applicable, and in the case of the Senior Certificates, or in the
case of all of the Certificates in connection with the exercise by the
Master Servicer of its right to purchase the Certificates, that payment
will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates
at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified.
If the Master Servicer is obligated to give notice to Certificateholders as
aforesaid, it shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time
such notice is given to Certificateholders and, if the Master Servicer is
exercising its rights to purchase the outstanding Certificates, it shall give
such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to
Certificateholders. As a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer of its
right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall
deposit in the Certificate Account, before the Final Distribution Date in
immediately available funds an amount equal to the purchase price for the
assets of the Trust Fund, computed as provided above. As a result of the
exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the outstanding
Certificates, the Master Servicer shall deposit in an Eligible Account,
established by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and separate from
the Certificate Account in the name of the Trustee in trust for the
registered holders of the Certificates, before the Distribution Date on which
such purchase is to occur in immediately available funds an amount equal to
the purchase price for the Certificates, computed as above provided, and
provide notice of such deposit to the Trustee. The Trustee will withdraw
from such account the amount specified in subsection (c) below.
(c) In the case of the Senior Certificates, upon presentation and surrender
of the Certificates by the Certificateholders thereof, and in the case of the
Class M and Class B Certificates, upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates by the Certificateholders thereof in connection with the
exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the Certificates,
and otherwise in accordance with Section 4.01(a), the Trustee shall
distribute to the Certificateholders (i) the amount otherwise distributable
on such Distribution Date, if not in connection with the Master Servicer's
election to repurchase the assets of the Trust Fund or the outstanding
Certificates, or (ii) if the Master Servicer elected to so repurchase the
assets of the Trust Fund or the outstanding Certificates, an amount
determined as follows: (A) with respect to each Certificate the outstanding
Certificate Principal Balance thereof, plus Accrued Certificate Interest for
the related Interest Accrual Period thereon and any previously unpaid Accrued
Certificate Interest, subject to the priority set forth in Section 4.02(a),
and (B) with respect to the Class R Certificates, any excess of the amounts
available for distribution (including the repurchase price specified in
clause (ii) of subsection (a) of this Section) over the total amount
distributed under the immediately preceding clause (A). Notwithstanding the
reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Subordinate
Certificates to zero, such Class will be outstanding hereunder until the
termination of the respective obligations and responsibilities of the
Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee hereunder in accordance with
Article IX.
(d) If any Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for
final payment and cancellation on or before the Final Distribution Date (if
so required by the terms hereof), the Trustee shall on such date cause all
funds in the Certificate Account not distributed in final distribution to
Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining
Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for
the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Master Servicer (if it
exercised its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund), or the Trustee
(in any other case) shall give a second written notice to the remaining
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months
after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee shall take appropriate steps as directed by the
Master Servicer to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the
escrow account and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the
assets which remain in the escrow account. If within nine months after the
second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to the Master Servicer all amounts
distributable to the holders thereof and the Master Servicer shall thereafter
hold such amounts until distributed to such Holders. No interest shall
accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in the
escrow account or by the Master Servicer as a result of such
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment
thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.
(e) If any Certificateholders do not surrender their Certificates on or
before the Distribution Date on which a purchase of the outstanding
Certificates is to be made, the Trustee shall on such date cause all funds in
the Certificate Account deposited therein by the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 9.01(b) to be withdrawn therefrom and deposited in a separate escrow
account for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Master Servicer
shall give a second written notice to such Certificateholders to surrender
their Certificates for payment of the purchase price therefor. If within six
months after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall take appropriate steps as
directed by the Master Servicer to contact the Holders of such Certificates
concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of
maintaining the escrow account and of contacting Certificateholders shall be
paid out of the assets which remain in the escrow account. If within nine
months after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation in accordance with this Section 9.01, the
Trustee shall pay to the Master Servicer all amounts distributable to the
Holders thereof and the Master Servicer shall thereafter hold such amounts
until distributed to such Holders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to
any Certificateholder on any amount held in the escrow account or by the
Master Servicer as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender
its Certificate(s) for payment in accordance with this Section 9.01. Any
Certificate that is not surrendered on the Distribution Date on which a
purchase pursuant to this Section 9.01 occurs as provided above will be
deemed to have been purchased and the Holder as of such date will have no
rights with respect thereto except to receive the purchase price therefor
minus any costs and expenses associated with such escrow account and notices
allocated thereto. Any Certificates so purchased or deemed to have been
purchased on such Distribution Date shall remain outstanding hereunder until
the Master Servicer has terminated the respective obligations and
responsibilities created hereby in respect of the Certificates pursuant to
this Article IX. The Master Servicer shall be for all purposes the Holder
thereof as of such date.
Section 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) Each REMIC that comprises the Trust Fund shall be terminated in
accordance with the following additional requirements, unless (subject to
Section 10.01(f)) the Trustee and the Master Servicer have received an
Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Trustee) to the effect that the failure of each such REMIC to comply with the
requirements of this Section 9.02 will not (i) result in the imposition on
the Trust Fund of taxes on "prohibited transactions," as described in
Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any such REMIC to fail to qualify as
a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding:
(i) The Master Servicer shall establish a 90-day liquidation period for
each such REMIC and specify the first day of such period in a statement
attached to the Trust Fund's final Tax Return pursuant to Treasury
regulations Section 1.860F-1. The Master Servicer also shall satisfy
all of the requirements of a qualified liquidation for a REMIC under
Section 860F of the Code and regulations thereunder;
(ii) The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee at the commencement of
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 or
otherwise dispose of all of the remaining assets of the Trust Fund in
accordance with the terms hereof; and
(iii) If the Master Servicer or the Company is exercising its right to
purchase the assets of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall,
during the 90-day liquidation period and at or prior to the Final
Distribution Date, purchase all of the assets of the Trust Fund for
cash.
(b) Each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee hereby irrevocably
approves and appoints the Master Servicer as its attorney-in-fact to adopt a
plan of complete liquidation for each REMIC at the expense of the Trust Fund
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Section 9.03. Termination of Multiple REMICs.
If the REMIC Administrator makes two or more separate REMIC elections,
the applicable REMIC shall be terminated on the earlier of the Final
Distribution Date and the date on which it is deemed to receive the last
deemed distributions on the related Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests
and the last distribution due on the Certificates is made.
ARTICLE X
REMIC PROVISIONS
Section 10.01. REMIC Administration.
(a) The REMIC Administrator shall make an election to treat the Trust Fund
as one or more REMICs under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable
state law. The assets of each such REMIC will be set forth in the Series
Supplement. Such election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate
federal tax or information return (including Form 8811) or any appropriate
state return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year
in which the Certificates are issued. For the purposes of each REMIC
election in respect of the Trust Fund, Certificates and interests to be
designated as the "regular interests" and the sole class of "residual
interests" in the REMIC will be set forth in Section 10.03 of the Series
Supplement. The REMIC Administrator and the Trustee shall not permit the
creation of any "interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code)
in any REMIC elected in respect of the Trust Fund other than the "regular
interests" and "residual interests" so designated.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of the Trust
Fund within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) The REMIC Administrator shall hold a Class R Certificate representing a
0.01% Percentage Interest each Class of the Class R Certificates and shall be
designated as "the tax matters person" with respect to each REMIC in the
manner provided under Treasury regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury
regulations section 301.6231(a)(7)-1. The REMIC Administrator, as tax matters
person, shall (i) act on behalf of each REMIC in relation to any tax matter
or controversy involving the Trust Fund 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 legal
expenses, including without limitation attorneys' or accountants' fees, and
costs of any such proceeding and any liability resulting therefrom shall be
expenses of the Trust Fund and the REMIC Administrator shall be entitled to
reimbursement therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans on
deposit in the Custodial Account as provided by Section 3.10 unless such
legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the REMIC Administrator's
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. If the REMIC
Administrator is no longer the Master Servicer hereunder, at its option the
REMIC Administrator may continue its duties as REMIC Administrator and shall
be paid reasonable compensation not to exceed $3,000 per year by any
successor Master Servicer hereunder for so acting as the REMIC Administrator.

the Tax Returns that it determines are required with respect to each REMIC
created hereunder and deliver such Tax Returns in a timely manner to the
Trustee and the Trustee shall sign and file such Tax Returns in a timely
manner. The expenses of preparing such returns shall be borne by the REMIC
Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor. The REMIC
Administrator agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee with respect
to any tax or liability arising from the Trustee's signing of Tax Returns
that contain errors or omissions. The Trustee and Master Servicer shall
promptly provide the REMIC Administrator with such information as the REMIC
Administrator may from time to time request for the purpose of enabling the
REMIC Administrator to prepare Tax Returns.
(e) The REMIC Administrator shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a Class
R Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax
relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Person who is not a
Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall forward 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) 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 REMIC.
(f) The Master Servicer and the REMIC Administrator shall take such actions
and shall cause each REMIC created hereunder to take such actions as are
reasonably within the Master Servicer's or the REMIC Administrator's control
and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein as shall be
necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under
the REMIC Provisions (and the Trustee shall assist the Master Servicer and
the REMIC Administrator, to the extent reasonably requested by the Master
Servicer and the REMIC Administrator to do so). The Master Servicer and the
REMIC Administrator shall not knowingly or intentionally take any action,
cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to
be taken) any action reasonably within their respective control that, under
the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i)
endanger the status of any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series
Supplement as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any such
REMIC (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, in the
absence of an Opinion of Counsel or the indemnification referred to in this
sentence, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Master Servicer or the REMIC
Administrator, as applicable, has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the
expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails to
pay such expense, and the Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as
applicable, determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the
Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust Fund, but
in no event at the expense of the Master Servicer, the REMIC Administrator or
the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with
respect to each REMIC created hereunder, endanger such status or, unless the
Master Servicer, the REMIC Administrator or both, as applicable, determine in
its or their sole discretion to indemnify the Trust Fund against the
imposition of such a tax, result in the imposition of such a tax. Wherever in
this Agreement a contemplated action may not be taken because the timing of
such action might result in the imposition of a tax on the Trust Fund, or may
only be taken pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel that such action would not
impose a tax on the Trust Fund, such action may nonetheless be taken provided
that the indemnity given in the preceding sentence with respect to any taxes
that might be imposed on the Trust Fund has been given and that all other
preconditions to the taking of such action have been satisfied. The Trustee
shall not take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized
hereunder) as to which the Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as
applicable, has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to
such action. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any
REMIC created hereunder or any related assets thereof, or causing any such
REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of
this Agreement, the Trustee will consult with the Master Servicer or the
REMIC Administrator, as applicable, or its designee, in writing, with respect
to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with
respect to any such REMIC, and the Trustee shall not take any such action or
cause any such REMIC to take any such action as to which the Master Servicer
or the REMIC Administrator, as applicable, has advised it in writing that an
Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Master Servicer or the REMIC
Administrator, as applicable, 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 expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the
expense of the Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator. At all times as
may be required by the Code, the Master Servicer will to the extent within
its control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein,
maintain substantially all of the assets of each REMIC created hereunder as
"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.
(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
"net income from foreclosure property" of any 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 Master Servicer, if such tax
arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its
obligations under this Agreement or the Master Servicer has in its sole
discretion determined to indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, (ii) to
the Trustee, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the
Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X, or (iii) otherwise
against amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account as provided by Section
3.10 and on the Distribution Date(s) following such reimbursement the
aggregate of such taxes shall be allocated in reduction of the Accrued
Certificate Interest on each Class entitled thereto in the same manner as if
such taxes constituted a Prepayment Interest Shortfall.
(h) The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall, for federal income tax
purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created
hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis or as otherwise may be
required by the REMIC Provisions.
(i) Following the Startup Day, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee
shall accept any contributions of assets to any REMIC created hereunder
unless (subject to Section 10.01(f)) the Master Servicer and the Trustee
shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party
seeking to make such contribution) to the effect that the inclusion of such
assets in such REMIC will not cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC
at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject the REMIC to any
tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal,
state and local law or ordinances.
(j) Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall (subject to Section
10.01(f)) enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC created hereunder
will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit any such
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.
(k) Solely for the purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury
Regulations, the "latest possible maturity date" by which the Certificate
Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates (other than the Interest Only
Certificates) representing a regular interest in the applicable REMIC and the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of each Uncertificated REMIC Regular
Interest (other than each Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interest represented
by a Class A-V Certificate, if any) and the rights to the Interest Only
Certificates and Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interest represented by a Class
A-V Certificate would be reduced to zero is the Maturity Date for each such
Certificate and Interest.
(l) Within 30 days after the Closing Date, the REMIC Administrator shall
prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service Form 8811, "Information
Return for Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMIC) and Issuers of
Collateralized Debt Obligations" for each REMIC created hereunder.
(m) Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall sell, dispose of or
substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i) the
default, imminent default or 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 any REMIC created
hereunder, (iii) the termination of any such REMIC pursuant to Article IX of
this Agreement or (iv) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or
III of this Agreement) nor acquire any assets for any such REMIC, nor sell or
dispose of any investments in the Custodial Account or the Certificate
Account for gain nor accept any contributions to any such REMIC after the
Closing Date unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel that such sale,
disposition, substitution or acquisition will not (a) affect adversely the
status of such REMIC as a REMIC or (b) unless the Master Servicer has
determined in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust Fund against such
tax, cause such REMIC to be subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or
"contributions" pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
Section 10.02. Master Servicer, REMIC Administrator and Trustee
Indemnification.
(a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Company, the REMIC
Administrator and the Master Servicer for any taxes and costs including,
without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by
the Trust Fund, the Company or the Master Servicer, as a result of a breach
of the Trustee's covenants set forth in Article VIII or this Article X.
(b) The REMIC Administrator agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the
Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any taxes and costs
(including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees) imposed on or
incurred by the Trust Fund, the Company, the Master Servicer or the Trustee,
as a result of a breach of the REMIC Administrator's covenants set forth in
this Article X with respect to compliance with the REMIC Provisions,
including without limitation, any penalties arising from the Trustee's
execution of Tax Returns prepared by the REMIC Administrator that contain
errors or omissions; provided, however, that such liability will not be
imposed to the extent such breach is a result of an error or omission in
information provided to the REMIC Administrator by the Master Servicer in
which case Section 10.02(c) will apply.
(c) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Company,
the REMIC Administrator and the Trustee for any taxes and costs (including,
without limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees) imposed on or incurred by
the Trust Fund, the Company, the REMIC Administrator or the Trustee, as a
result of a breach of the Master Servicer's covenants set forth in this
Article X or in Article III with respect to compliance with the REMIC
Provisions, including without limitation, any penalties arising from the
Trustee's execution of Tax Returns prepared by the Master Servicer that
contain errors or omissions.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 11.01. Amendment.
(a) This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to
time by the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent
of any of the Certificateholders:
(i) to cure any ambiguity,
(ii) to correct or supplement any provisions herein or therein, which may be
inconsistent with any other provisions herein or therein or to correct
any error,
(iii) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as
shall be necessary or desirable to maintain the qualification of the
Trust Fund as a REMIC at all times that any Certificate is outstanding
or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on the
Trust Fund pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against the Trust
Fund, provided that the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that (A) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain
such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition
of any such tax and (B) such action will not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder,
(iv) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits into the Custodial
Account or the Certificate Account or to change the name in which the
Custodial Account is maintained, provided that (A) the Certificate
Account Deposit Date shall in no event be later than the related
Distribution Date, (B) such change shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder and (C) such change shall not result
in a reduction of the rating assigned to any Class of Certificates
below the lower of the then-current rating or the rating assigned to
such Certificates as of the Closing Date (in the case of the Insured
Certificates (as defined in the Series Supplement), such determination
shall be made without giving effect to the Certificate Policy (as
defined in the Series Supplement)), as evidenced by a letter from each
Rating Agency to such effect,
(v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.02(f) or any
other provision hereof restricting transfer of the Class R
Certificates, by virtue of their being the "residual interests" in a
REMIC, provided that (A) such change shall not result in reduction of
the rating assigned to any such Class of Certificates below the lower
of the then-current rating or the rating assigned to such Certificates
as of the Closing Date (in the case of the Insured Certificates (as
defined in the Series Supplement), such determination shall be made
without giving effect to the Certificate Policy (as defined in the
Series Supplement)), as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency
to such effect, and (B) such change shall not (subject to Section
10.01(f)), as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the
party seeking so to modify, eliminate or add such provisions), cause
any REMIC created hereunder or any of the Certificateholders (other
than the transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a
transfer to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee,
(vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions
arising under this Agreement or such Custodial Agreement which shall
not be materially inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement,
provided that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder or
(vii) to amend any provision herein or therein that is not
material to any of the Certificateholders.
(b) This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time
to time by the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent
of the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66%
of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates with a Certificate
Principal Balance greater than zero affected thereby for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Agreement or such Custodial Agreement or of modifying in
any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the
consent of the Holder of such Certificate,
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the
Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, in any
such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of
such Class then outstanding.
(c) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have
first received an Opinion of Counsel (subject to Section 10.01(f) and at the
expense of the party seeking such amendment) to the effect that such
amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the
Company or the Trustee in accordance with such amendment is permitted
hereunder and will not result in the imposition of a federal tax on the Trust
Fund or cause any REMIC created under the Series Supplement to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
(d) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall
furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to the
Custodian and each Certificateholder. 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
Trustee may prescribe.
(e) The Company shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to obtain
and deliver to the Trustee any corporate guaranty, payment obligation,
irrevocable letter of credit, surety bond, insurance policy or similar
instrument or a reserve fund, or any combination of the foregoing, for the
purpose of protecting the Holders of the Class B Certificates against any or
all Realized Losses or other shortfalls. Any such instrument or fund shall
be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Class B Certificateholders, but
shall not be and shall not be deemed to be under any circumstances included
in the Trust Fund. To the extent that any such instrument or fund
constitutes a reserve fund for federal income tax purposes, (i) any reserve
fund so established shall be an outside reserve fund and not an asset of the
Trust Fund, (ii) any such reserve fund shall be owned by the Company, and
(iii) amounts transferred by the Trust Fund to any such reserve fund shall be
treated as amounts distributed by the Trust Fund to the Company or any
successor, all within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(h)
as it reads as of the Cut-off Date. In connection with the provision of any
such instrument or fund, this Agreement and any provision hereof may be
modified, added to, deleted or otherwise amended in any manner that is
related or incidental to such instrument or fund or the establishment or
administration thereof, such amendment to be made by written instrument
executed or consented to by the Company but without the consent of any
Certificateholder and without the consent of the Master Servicer or the
Trustee being required unless any such amendment would impose any additional
obligation on, or otherwise adversely affect the interests of the Senior
Certificateholders, the Class M Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or
the Trustee, as applicable; provided that the Company obtains (subject to
Section 10.01(f)) an Opinion of Counsel (which need not be an opinion of
Independent counsel) to the effect that any such amendment will not cause (a)
any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, 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 and (b) any REMIC created hereunder to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
In the event that the Company elects to provide such coverage in the form of
a limited guaranty provided by GMAC LLC, the Company may elect that the text
of such amendment to this Agreement shall be substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit K (in which case Residential Funding's Subordinate
Certificate Loss Obligation as described in such exhibit shall be established
by Residential Funding's consent to such amendment) and that the limited
guaranty shall be executed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L, with
such changes as the Company shall deem to be appropriate; it being understood
that the Trustee has reviewed and approved the content of such forms and that
the Trustee's consent or approval to the use thereof is not required.
Section 11.02. Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to
recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in
all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the
properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other
appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be
effected by the Master Servicer and at its expense on direction by the
Trustee (pursuant to the request of Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 25% of the Voting Rights), but only upon direction accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and
beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.
(b) For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be 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.
Section 11.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
(a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to
terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, 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 any of the parties hereto.
(b) No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly
provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor
shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms 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.
(c) No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of
this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at
law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder
previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of
the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the
Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing in the aggregate not less
than 25% of the related Percentage Interests of such Class, shall have made
written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or 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 60 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
being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each
Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no
one or more Holders of Certificates of any Class shall have any right in any
manner whatever by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such
Certificates of such Class or any other Class, 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 common
benefit of Certificateholders of such Class or all Classes, as the case may
be. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section
11.03, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to
such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
Section 11.04. Governing Law.
This agreement and the Certificates shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the obligations,
rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in

Section 11.07. Severability of Provisions.
If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of
this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such

of this Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.
Section 11.08. Supplemental Provisions for Resecuritization.
This Agreement may be supplemented by means of the addition of a
separate Article hereto (a "Supplemental Article") for the purpose of
resecuritizing any of the Certificates issued hereunder, under the following
circumstances. With respect to any Class or Classes of Certificates issued
hereunder, or any portion of any such Class, as to which the Company or any
of its Affiliates (or any designee thereof) is the registered Holder (the
"Resecuritized Certificates"), the Company may deposit such Resecuritized
Certificates into a new REMIC, grantor trust or custodial arrangement (a
"Restructuring Vehicle") to be held by the Trustee pursuant to a Supplemental
Article. The instrument adopting such Supplemental Article shall be executed
by the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee; provided, that neither
the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall withhold their consent thereto if
their respective interests would not be materially adversely affected
thereby. To the extent that the terms of the Supplemental Article do not in
any way affect any provisions of this Agreement as to any of the Certificates
initially issued hereunder, the adoption of the Supplemental Article shall
not constitute an "amendment" of this Agreement.
Each Supplemental Article shall set forth all necessary provisions
relating to the holding of the Resecuritized Certificates by the Trustee, the
establishment of the Restructuring Vehicle, the issuing of various classes of
new certificates by the Restructuring Vehicle and the distributions to be
made thereon, and any other provisions necessary for the purposes thereof.
In connection with each Supplemental Article, the Company shall deliver to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (i) the Restructuring
Vehicle will qualify as a REMIC, grantor trust or other entity not subject to
taxation for federal income tax purposes and (ii) the adoption of the
Supplemental Article will not endanger the status of the Trust Fund as a
REMIC or (subject to Section 10.01(f)) 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 as set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code).
Section 11.09. Allocation of Voting Rights.

The Company, the Trustee and the Master Servicer acknowledge and
agree that the purpose of this Article XII is to facilitate compliance by the
Company with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and

request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions
other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Each of the Master
Servicer and the Trustee acknowledges that interpretations of the
requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to
interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus
among participants in the mortgage-backed securities markets, advice of
counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with reasonable requests made by
the Company in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions
on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. Each of the
Master Servicer and the Trustee shall cooperate reasonably with the Company
to deliver to the Company (including any of its assignees or designees), any
and all disclosure, statements, reports, certifications, records and any
other information necessary in the reasonable, good faith determination of
the Company to permit the Company to comply with the provisions of Regulation
AB.
Section 12.02. Additional Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.
(a) The Trustee shall be deemed to represent and warrant to the
Company as of the Closing Date and on each date on which information is
provided to the Company under Sections 12.01, 12.02(b) or 12.03 that, except
as disclosed in writing to the Company prior to such date: (i) it is not
aware and has not received notice that any default, early amortization or
other performance triggering event has occurred as to any other
Securitization Transaction due to any default of the Trustee; (ii) there are
no aspects of its financial condition that could have a material adverse
effect on the performance by it of its trustee obligations under this

respect to the Company or any sponsor, issuing entity, servicer, trustee,
originator, significant obligor, enhancement or support provider or other
material transaction party (as each of such terms are used in Regulation AB)
relating to the Securitization Transaction contemplated by the Agreement, as
identified by the Company to the Trustee in writing as of the Closing Date
(each, a "Transaction Party") that are outside the ordinary course of
business or on terms other than would be obtained in an arm's length
transaction with an unrelated third party, apart from the Securitization
Transaction, and that are material to the investors' understanding of the
Certificates; and (v) the Trustee is not an affiliate (as contemplated by
Item 1119(a) of Regulation AB) of any Transaction Party. The Company shall
notify the Trustee of any change in the identity of a Transaction Party after
the Closing Date.
(b) If so requested by the Company on any date following the
Closing Date, the Trustee shall, within five Business Days following such
request, confirm in writing the accuracy of the representations and
warranties set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section or, if any such
representation and warranty is not accurate as of the date of such
confirmation, provide the pertinent facts, in writing, to the Company. Any
such request from the Company shall not be given more than once each calendar
quarter, unless the Company shall have a reasonable basis for questioning the
accuracy of any of the representations and warranties.
Section 12.03. Information to Be Provided by the Trustee.
For so long as the Certificates are outstanding, for the purpose
of satisfying the Company's reporting obligation under the Exchange Act with
respect to any class of Certificates, the Trustee shall provide to the
Company a written description of (a) any litigation or governmental
proceedings pending against the Trustee as of the last day of each calendar
month that would be material to Certificateholders, and (b) any affiliations
or relationships (as described in Item 1119 of Regulation AB) that develop
following the Closing Date between the Trustee and any Transaction Party of
the type described in Section 12.02(a)(iv) or 12.02(a)(v) as of the last day
of each calendar year. Any descriptions required with respect to legal
proceedings, as well as updates to previously provided descriptions, under
this Section 12.03 shall be given no later than five Business Days prior to
the Determination Date following the month in which the relevant event
occurs, and any notices and descriptions required with respect to

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust
Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Residential
Accredit Loans, Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred to below or
GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their affiliates. Neither this
Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by
any governmental agency or instrumentality or by Residential Accredit Loans,

to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on
the Certificates.
This certifies that ________________________ is the registered
owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate [(obtained by
dividing the [Initial Certificate Principal Balance] [Initial [Interest
Only/Class A-V] Notional Amount] of this Certificate by the aggregate
[Initial Certificate Principal Balance of all Class A- Certificates]
[Initial [Interest Only/Class A-V] Notional Amounts of all [Interest

distributions with respect to the Trust Fund consisting primarily of an
interest in a pool of [conventional one- to four-family fixed interest rate
first mortgage loans] (the "Mortgage Loans"), formed and sold by Residential
Accredit Loans, Inc. (hereinafter called the "Company," which term includes
any successor entity under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund
was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as specified
above (the "Agreement") among the Company, the Master Servicer and
__________________, as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not
defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned
in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by
which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be
made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business
Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"),
commencing as described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if
such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding
such last day) of the month immediately preceding the month of such
distribution (the "Record Date"), from the Available Distribution Amount in
an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount [(of interest and principal, if any)] required to
be distributed to Holders of Class A- Certificates on such Distribution
Date. [The [Interest Only/Class A-V] Notional Amount of the [Interest

shall have so notified the Master Servicer or such Paying Agent, or by check
mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this
Certificate will be made after due notice of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at
the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose. The [Initial
Certificate Principal Balance] [Initial [Interest Only/Class A-V] Notional
Amount] [initial Subclass Notional Amount] of this Certificate is set forth
above.] [The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the
extent of distributions allocable to principal and any Realized Losses
allocable hereto.]
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates issued in several Classes designated as Mortgage Asset-Backed
Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively
called the "Certificates").
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. In the event Master
Servicer funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance
is reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the
Agreement, from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash
that would have been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial
Account and/or the Certificate Account created for the benefit of
Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for
purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including without limitation reimbursement to the Company and the Master
Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided,
the amendment of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders
of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the
Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. 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 the
Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain
circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates
and, in certain additional circumstances, without the consent of the Holders
of certain Classes of 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 Trustee, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and
aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized
denominations evidencing the same Class and 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, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company,
the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the
Certificates and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon the
payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the
Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following
the earlier of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage
Loan subject thereto or the disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) the
purchase by the Master Servicer from the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans, thereby
effecting early retirement of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but
does not require, the Master Servicer to (i) purchase at a price determined
as provided in the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) purchase in whole, but not
in part, all of the Certificates from the Holders thereof; provided, that any
such option may only be exercised if the Pool Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any
such purchase are distributed is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this
Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall
for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed
by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not

consisting primarily of a pool of [conventional one- to

sold by RESIDENTIAL ACCREDIT LOANS, INC.
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust
Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Residential
Accredit Loans, Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred to below or
GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of their affiliates. Neither this
Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by
any governmental agency or instrumentality or by Residential Accredit Loans,
Inc., the Master Servicer, the Trustee or GMAC Mortgage Group, LLC or any of
their affiliates. None of the Company, the Master Servicer, GMAC Mortgage
Group, LLC or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect
to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on
the Certificates.
This certifies that ______________ is the registered owner of
the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by dividing
the Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of all Class M- Certificates, both as
specified above) in certain distributions with respect to a Trust Fund
consisting primarily of a pool of [conventional one- to four-family fixed
interest rate first mortgage loans] (the "Mortgage Loans"), formed and sold
by Residential Accredit Loans, Inc. (hereinafter called the "Company," which
term includes any successor entity under the Agreement referred to below).
The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement
dated as specified above (the "Agreement") among the Company, the Master
Servicer and __________________, as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of
certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the
meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is
subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which
Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof
assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be
made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business
Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"),
commencing as described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if
such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding
such last day) of the month immediately preceding the month of such
distribution (the "Record Date"), from the Available Distribution Amount in
an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be
distributed to Holders of Class M- Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the
Master Servicer acting on behalf of the Trustee or by a Paying Agent
appointed by the Trustee in immediately available funds (by wire transfer or
otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Master Servicer or such Paying Agent, or by check
mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this
Certificate will be made after due notice of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at
the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose. The Initial
Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate is set forth above. The
Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of the
distributions allocable to principal and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.
Any transferee of this Certificate will be deemed to have
represented by virtue of its purchase or holding of this Certificate (or
interest herein) that either (a) such transferee is not an investment
manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any plan, or any other person,
acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate
with "plan assets" of any plan (a "plan investor"), (b) it has acquired and
is holding such Certificate in reliance on prohibited transaction exemption
("PTE") 94-29, as most recently amended, PTE 2002-41, 67 fed. Reg. 54487
(August 22, 2002) (the "RFC Exemption"), and that it understands that there
are certain conditions to the availability of the RFC Exemption including
that such Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than
"BBB-" (or its equivalent) by Standard & Poor's, Fitch or Xxxxx'x or (c) (i)
the transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the source of funds to be used
by it to purchase the Certificate is an "insurance company general account"
(within the meaning of U.S. Department of Labor prohibited transaction class
exemption ("PTCE") 95-60), and (iii) the conditions set forth in Sections I
and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied (each entity that satisfies this
clause (c), a "complying insurance company).
If this Certificate (or any interest herein) is acquired or held
by any person that does not satisfy the conditions described in the preceding
paragraph, then the last preceding transferee that either (i) is not a plan
investor, (ii) acquired such Certificate in compliance with the RFC
Exemption, or (iii) is a complying insurance company shall be restored, to
the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Certificate
owner thereof retroactive to the date of such transfer of this Certificate.
The Trustee shall be under no liability to any person for making any payments
due on this Certificate to such preceding transferee.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates issued in several Classes designated as Mortgage Asset-Backed
Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively
called the "Certificates").
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. In the event Master
Servicer funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance
is reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the
Agreement, from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash
that would have been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial
Account and/or the Certificate Account created for the benefit of
Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for
purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including without limitation reimbursement to the Company and the Master
Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided,
the amendment of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders
of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the
Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. 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 the
Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain
circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates
and, in certain additional circumstances, without the consent of the Holders
of certain Classes of 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 Trustee, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and
aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized
denominations evidencing the same Class and 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, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company,
the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the
Certificates and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon the
payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the
Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following
the earlier of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage
Loan subject thereto or the disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) the
purchase by the Master Servicer from the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans, thereby
effecting early retirement of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but
does not require, the Master Servicer to (i) purchase at a price determined
as provided in the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) purchase in whole, but not
in part, all of the Certificates from the Holders thereof; provided, that any
such option may only be exercised if the Pool Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any
such purchase are distributed is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed
by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not
be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be
duly executed.

This certifies that ____________________________ is the
registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate (as
specified above) in certain distributions with respect to a Trust Fund
consisting primarily of a pool of [one- to four-family residential,
payment-option, adjustable-rate first lien mortgage loans with a negative
amortization feature] (the "Mortgage Loans"), formed and sold by Residential
Accredit Loans, Inc. (hereinafter called the "Company," which term includes
any successor entity under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund
was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as specified
above (the "Agreement") among the Company, the Master Servicer and
____________________, as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not
defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned
in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by
which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be
made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business
Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"),
commencing on the first Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in
whose name this Certificate at the close of business on the last day (or if

such last day) of the month immediately preceding the month of such
distribution (the "Record Date"), in an amount equal to the product of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to
be distributed to Holders of Class P Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the
Master Servicer acting on behalf of the Trustee or by a Paying Agent
appointed by the Trustee in immediately available funds (by wire transfer or
otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Master Servicer or such Paying Agent, or by check
mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this
Certificate will be made after due notice of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at
the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose.
No transfer of this Class P Certificate will be made unless such
transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in
accordance with said Act and laws. In the event that such a transfer is to
be made, (i) the Trustee or the Company may require an opinion of counsel
acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Company that such transfer is exempt (describing the applicable exemption and
the basis therefor) from or is being made pursuant to the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and of any applicable
statute of any state and (ii) the transferee shall execute an investment
letter in the form described by the Agreement. The Holder hereof desiring to
effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee,
the Company, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar acting on
behalf of the Trustee 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. In connection with any such transfer, the Trustee will also require
either (i) an opinion of counsel addressed to the Trustee, the Company and
the Master Servicer, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to
the Trustee with respect to the permissibility of such transfer under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and
Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and stating, among
other things, that the transferee's acquisition of a Class P Certificate will
not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section
406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) a representation letter, in
the form as described by Section 5.02(e) of the Agreement, either stating
that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a
"Plan"), or any other person (including an investment manager, a named
fiduciary or a trustee of any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of or purchasing any Certificate with "plan assets" of any Plan.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates issued in several Classes designated as Mortgage Asset-Backed
Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively
called the "Certificates").
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. In the event Master
Servicer funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance
is reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the
Agreement, from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash
that would have been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial
Account and/or the Certificate Account created for the benefit of
Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for
purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including without limitation reimbursement to the Company and the Master
Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided,
the amendment of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders
of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the
Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. 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 the
Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain
circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates
and, in certain additional circumstances, without the consent of the Holders
of certain Classes of 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 Trustee, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and
aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized
denominations evidencing the same Class and 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, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company,
the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the
Certificates and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon the
payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the
Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following
the earlier of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage
Loan subject thereto or the disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) the
purchase by the Master Servicer from the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans, thereby
effecting early retirement of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but
does not require, the Master Servicer to (i) purchase at a price determined
as provided in the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) purchase in whole, but not
in part, all of the Certificates from the Holders thereof; provided, that any
such option may only be exercised if the Pool Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any
such purchase are distributed is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed
by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not
be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be
duly executed.

such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding
such last day) of the month immediately preceding the month of such
distribution (the "Record Date"), from the Available Distribution Amount in
an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be
distributed to Holders of Class R Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to
be bound by the restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that
(i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this
Certificate must be a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee, (ii)
the transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate will be
conditioned upon the delivery to the Trustee of, among other things, an
affidavit to the effect that it is a United States Person and Permitted
Transferee, (iii) any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership
Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be
absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the purported transferee,
and (iv) if any person other than a United States Person and a Permitted
Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation
of such restrictions, then the Company will have the right, in its sole
discretion and without notice to the Holder of this Certificate, to sell this
Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Company, which purchaser may be
the Company, or any affiliate of the Company, on such terms and conditions as
the Company may choose.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this
Certificate will be made after due notice of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at
the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose. The Initial
Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate is set forth above. The
Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of
distributions allocable to principal and any Realized Losses allocable
hereto. Notwithstanding the reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance
hereof to zero, this Certificate will remain outstanding under the Agreement
and the Holder hereof may have additional obligations with respect to this
Certificate, including tax liabilities, and may be entitled to certain
additional distributions hereon, in accordance with the terms and provisions
of the Agreement.
No transfer of this Class R Certificate will be made unless the
Trustee has received either (i) an opinion of counsel addressed to the
Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer, acceptable to and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee with respect to the permissibility of
such transfer under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended ("ERISA"), and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code")
and stating, among other things, that the transferee's acquisition of a Class
R Certificate will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) a
representation letter, in the form as described by the Agreement, stating
that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a
"Plan"), or any other person (including an investment manager, a named
fiduciary or a trustee of any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of or purchasing any Certificate with "plan assets" of any Plan.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates issued in several Classes designated as Mortgage Asset-Backed
Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively
called the "Certificates").
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. In the event Master
Servicer funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance
is reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the
Agreement, from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash
that would have been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial
Account and/or the Certificate Account created for the benefit of
Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for
purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including without limitation reimbursement to the Company and the Master
Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided,
the amendment of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders
of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the
Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. 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 the
Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain
circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates
and, in certain additional circumstances, without the consent of the Holders
of certain Classes of 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 Trustee, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and
aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized
denominations evidencing the same Class and 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, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company,
the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the
Certificates and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon the
payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the
Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following
the earlier of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage
Loan subject thereto or the disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) the
purchase by the Master Servicer from the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans, thereby
effecting early retirement of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but
does not require, the Master Servicer to (i) purchase at a price determined
as provided in the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) purchase in whole, but not
in part, all of the Certificates from the Holders thereof; provided, that any
such option may only be exercised if the Pool Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any
such purchase are distributed is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this
Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall
for all purpose have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed
by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not
be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be
duly executed.

Residential Funding Company, LLC, its successors and assigns ("Residential
Funding") and _________________________________________________________ (the
"Seller/Servicer," and, together with Residential Funding, the "parties" and
each, individually, a "party").
WHEREAS, the Seller/Servicer desires to sell Loans to, and/or service
Loans for, Residential Funding, and Residential Funding desires to purchase
Loans from the Seller/Servicer and/or have the Seller/Servicer service
various of its Loans, pursuant to the terms of this Contract and the
Residential Funding Seller and Servicer Guides incorporated herein by
reference, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, from time to time
(together, the "Guides").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and the terms,
conditions and agreements set forth below, the parties agree as follows:
1. INCORPORATION OF GUIDES BY REFERENCE.
The Seller/Servicer acknowledges that it has received and read the
Guides. All provisions of the Guides are incorporated by reference into and
made a part of this Contract, and shall be binding upon the parties;
provided, however, that the Seller/Servicer shall be entitled to sell Loans
to and/or service Loans for Residential Funding only if and for so long as it
shall have been authorized to do so by Residential Funding in writing.
Specific reference in this Contract to particular provisions of the Guides
and not to other provisions does not mean that those provisions of the Guides
not specifically cited in this Contract are not applicable. All terms used
herein shall have the same meanings as such terms have in the Guides, unless
the context clearly requires otherwise.
2. AMENDMENTS.
This Contract may not be amended or modified orally, and no provision
of this Contract may be waived or amended except in writing signed by the
party against whom enforcement is sought. Such a written waiver or amendment
must expressly reference this Contract. However, by their terms, the Guides
may be amended or supplemented by Residential Funding from time to time. Any
such amendment(s) to the Guides shall be binding upon the parties hereto.
3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

other agreements.
(2) This Contract has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each

(4) Insofar as its capacity to carry out any obligation under this Contract
is concerned, neither party is in violation of any charter,
articles of incorporation, bylaws, certificates of
formation, limited liability company agreement, mortgage,
indenture, indebtedness, agreement, instrument, judgment,

performance pursuant to, this Contract will not result in a
violation of any of the foregoing.

In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants made

FORM OF TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT
STATE OF )

COUNTY OF )
[NAME OF OFFICER], being first duly sworn, deposes and says:
1. That he is [Title of Officer] of [Name of Owner] (record or
beneficial owner of the Mortgage Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates,
Series ____-___, Class R (the "Owner")), a [savings institution]
[corporation] duly organized and existing under the laws of [the State of
] [the United States], on behalf of which
he makes this affidavit and agreement.
2. That the Owner (i) is not and will not be a "disqualified
organization" or an electing large partnership as of [date of transfer]
within the meaning of Sections 860E(e)(5) and 775, respectively, of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or an electing large
partnership under Section 775(a) of the Code, (ii) will endeavor to remain
other than a disqualified organization for so long as it retains its
ownership interest in the Class R Certificates, and (iii) is acquiring the
Class R Certificates for its own account or for the account of another Owner
from which it has received an affidavit and agreement in substantially the
same form as this affidavit and agreement. (For this purpose, a "disqualified
organization" means an electing large partnership under Section 775 of the
Code, 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. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on
transfers of Class R Certificates to disqualified organizations or electing
large partnerships, under the Code, that applies to all transfers of Class R
Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the
transferor (or, with respect to transfers to electing large partnerships, on
each such partnership), or, if such transfer is through an agent (which
person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a disqualified
organization, on the agent; (iii) that the person (other than with respect to
transfers to electing large partnerships) 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 not a disqualified organization
and, at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that
the affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Class R Certificates may be
"noneconomic residual interests" within the meaning of Treasury regulations
promulgated pursuant to 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 was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
4. That the Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through
entity" holding Class R Certificates if either the pass-through entity is an
electing large partnership under Section 775 of the Code or if at any time
during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a disqualified
organization 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 either (i) a citizen or resident of the United
States, (ii) a corporation, partnership or other entity treated as a
corporation or a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and created
or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or
the District of Columbia (other than a partnership that is not treated as a
United States person under any applicable Treasury regulations), (iii) an
estate that is described in Section 7701(a)(30)(D) of the Code, or (iv) a
trust that is described in Section 7701(a)(30)(E) of the Code.
6. The Owner hereby agrees that it will not cause income from the
Class R Certificates to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment
or fixed base (within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of the
Owner or another United States taxpayer.
7. That the Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the
transfer of any Class R Certificates unless the transferee, or the
transferee's agent, delivers to it an affidavit and agreement, among other
things, in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. 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.
8. That the Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the
face of the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(f) of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were
issued (in particular, clause (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(f) which
authorize the Trustee to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner
and negotiate a mandatory sale by the Trustee in the event the Owner holds
such Certificates in violation of Section 5.02(f)). The Owner expressly
agrees to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions and provisions.
9. That 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 Class R Certificates
will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is not a
disqualified organization.
10. The Owner's Taxpayer Identification Number is__________________.
11. This affidavit and agreement relates only to the Class R
Certificates held by the Owner and not to any other holder of the Class R
Certificates. The Owner understands that the liabilities described herein
relate only to the Class R Certificates.
12. That no purpose of the Owner relating to the transfer of any of
the Class R Certificates by the Owner is or will be to impede the assessment
or collection of any tax; in making this representation, the Owner warrants
that the Owner is familiar with (i) Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)
and recent amendments thereto, effective as of July 19, 2002, and (ii) the
preamble describing the adoption of the amendments to such regulation, which
is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
13. That 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. In this regard, the Owner hereby
represents to and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the
Class R Certificate that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated with
holding such Class R Certificate as they become due, fully understanding that
it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the
Class R Certificate.
14. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as
any of the Class R Certificates remain outstanding.
15. The Purchaser is not an employee benefit plan or other plan
subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of the
Code, or an investment manager, named fiduciary or a trustee of any such
plan, or any other Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or
purchasing any Certificate with "plan assets" of any such plan.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner has caused this instrument to be

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document contains final regulations relating to safe
harbor transfers of noneconomic residual interests in real estate
mortgage investment conduits (REMICs). The final regulations provide
additional limitations on the circumstances under which transferors may
claim safe harbor treatment.
DATES: Effective Date: These regulations are effective July 19, 2002.
Applicability Date: For dates of applicability, see Sec. 1.860E-
(1)(c)(10).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx at (000) 000-0000

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Paperwork Reduction Act
The collection of information in this final rule has been reviewed
and, pending receipt and evaluation of public comments, approved by the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under 44 U.S.C. 3507 and assigned
control number 1545-1675.
The collection of information in this regulation is in Sec. 1.860E-
1(c)(5)(ii). This information is required to enable the IRS to verify
that a taxpayer is complying with the conditions of this regulation.
The collection of information is mandatory and is required. Otherwise,
the taxpayer will not receive the benefit of safe harbor treatment as
provided in the regulation. The likely respondents are businesses and
other for-profit institutions.
Comments on the collection of information should be sent to the
Office of Management and Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for the Department
of the Treasury, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Xxxxxxxxxx, XX, 00000, with copies to the Internal Revenue Service,
Attn: IRS Reports Clearance Officer, W:CAR:MP:FP:S, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX
00000. Comments on the collection of information should be received by
September 17, 2002. Comments are specifically requested concerning:
Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the Internal Revenue Service, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
The accuracy of the estimated burden associated with the collection
of information (see below);
How the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected may be enhanced;
How the burden of complying with the collection of information may
be minimized, including through the application of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology; and
Estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of service to provide information.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid
control number assigned by the Office of Management and Budget.
The estimated total annual reporting burden is 470 hours, based on
an estimated number of respondents of 470 and an estimated average
annual burden hours per respondent of one hour.
Books or records relating to a collection of information must be
retained as long as their contents may become material in the
administration of any internal revenue law. Generally, tax returns and
tax return information are confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.
Background
This document contains final regulations regarding the proposed
amendments to 26 CFR part 1 under section 860E of the Internal Revenue
Code (Code). The regulations provide the circumstances under which a
transferor of a noneconomic REMIC residual interest meeting the
investigation and representation requirements may avail itself of the
safe harbor by satisfying either the formula test or the asset test.
Final regulations governing REMICs, issued in 1992, contain rules
governing the transfer of noneconomic REMIC residual interests. In
general, a transfer of a noneconomic residual interest is disregarded
for all tax purposes if a significant purpose of the transfer is to
[[Page 47452]]
enable the transferor to impede the assessment or collection of tax. A
purpose to impede the assessment or collection of tax (a wrongful
purpose) exists if the transferor, at the time of the transfer, either
knew or should have known that the transferee would be unwilling or
unable to pay taxes due on its share of the REMIC's taxable income.
Under a safe harbor, the transferor of a REMIC noneconomic residual
interest is presumed not to have a wrongful purpose if two requirements
are satisfied: (1) the transferor conducts a reasonable investigation
of the transferee's financial condition (the investigation
requirement); and (2) the transferor secures a representation from the
transferee to the effect that the transferee understands the tax
obligations associated with holding a residual interest and intends to
pay those taxes (the representation requirement).
The IRS and Treasury have been concerned that some transferors of
noneconomic residual interests claim they satisfy the safe harbor even
in situations where the economics of the transfer clearly indicate the
transferee is unwilling or unable to pay the tax associated with
holding the interest. For this reason, on February 7, 2000, the IRS
published in the Federal Register (65 FR 5807) a notice of proposed
rulemaking (REG-100276-97; REG-122450-98) designed to clarify the safe
harbor by adding the "formula test," an economic test. The proposed
regulation provides that the safe harbor is unavailable unless the
present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with
holding the residual interest does not exceed the sum of: (1) The
present value of any consideration given to the transferee to acquire
the interest; (2) the present value of the expected future
distributions on the interest; and (3) the present value of the
anticipated tax savings associated with holding the interest as the
REMIC generates losses.
The notice of proposed rulemaking also contained rules for FASITs.
Section 1.860H-6(g) of the proposed regulations provides requirements
for transfers of FASIT ownership interests and adopts a safe harbor by
reference to the safe harbor provisions of the REMIC regulations.
In January 2001, the IRS published Rev. Proc. 2001-12 (2001-3
I.R.B. 335) to set forth an alternative safe harbor that taxpayers
could use while the IRS and the Treasury considered comments on the
proposed regulations. Under the alternative safe harbor, if a
transferor meets the investigation requirement and the representation
requirement but the transfer fails to meet the formula test, the
transferor may invoke the safe harbor if the transferee meets a two-
prong test (the asset test). A transferee generally meets the first
prong of this test if, at the time of the transfer, and in each of the
two years preceding the year of transfer, the transferee's gross assets
exceed $100 million and its net assets exceed $10 million. A transferee
generally meets the second prong of this test if it is a domestic,
taxable corporation and agrees in writing not to transfer the interest
to any person other than another domestic, taxable corporation that
also satisfies the requirements of the asset test. A transferor cannot
rely on the asset test if the transferor knows, or has reason to know,
that the transferee will not comply with its written agreement to limit
the restrictions on subsequent transfers of the residual interest.
Rev. Proc. 2001-12 provides that the asset test fails to be
satisfied in the case of a transfer or assignment of a noneconomic
residual interest to a foreign branch of an otherwise eligible
transferee. If such a transfer or assignment were permitted, a
corporate taxpayer might seek to claim that the provisions of an
applicable income tax treaty would resource excess inclusion income as
foreign source income, and that, as a consequence, any U.S. tax
liability attributable to the excess inclusion income could be offset
by foreign tax credits. Such a claim would impede the assessment or
collection of U.S. tax on excess inclusion income, contrary to the
congressional purpose of assuring that such income will be taxable in
all events. See, e.g., sections 860E(a)(1), (b), (e) and 860G(b) of the
Code.
The Treasury and the IRS have learned that certain taxpayers
transferring noneconomic residual interests to foreign branches have
attempted to rely on the formula test to obtain safe harbor treatment
in an effort to impede the assessment or collection of U.S. tax on
excess inclusion income. Accordingly, the final regulations provide
that if a noneconomic residual interest is transferred to a foreign
permanent establishment or fixed base of a U.S. taxpayer, the transfer
is not eligible for safe harbor treatment under either the asset test
or the formula test. The final regulations also require a transferee to
represent that it will not cause income from the noneconomic residual
interest to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or
fixed base.
Section 1.860E-1(c)(8) provides computational rules that a taxpayer
may use to qualify for safe harbor status under the formula test.
Section 1.860E-1(c)(8)(i) provides that the transferee is presumed to
pay tax at a rate equal to the highest rate of tax specified in section
11(b). Some commentators were concerned that this presumed rate of
taxation was too high because it does not take into consideration
taxpayers subject to the alternative minimum tax rate. In light of the
comments received, this provision has been amended in the final
regulations to allow certain transferees that compute their taxable
income using the alternative minimum tax rate to use the alternative
minimum tax rate applicable to corporations.
Additionally, Sec. 1.860E-1(c)(8)(iii) provides that the present
values in the formula test are to be computed using a discount rate
equal to the applicable Federal short-term rate prescribed by section
1274(d). This is a change from the proposed regulation and Rev. Proc.
2001-12. In those publications the provision stated that "present
values are computed using a discount rate equal to the applicable
Federal rate prescribed in section 1274(d) compounded semiannually"
and that "[a] lower discount rate may be used if the transferee can
demonstrate that it regularly borrows, in the course of its trade or
business, substantial funds at such lower rate from an unrelated third
party." The IRS and the Treasury Department have learned that, based
on this provision, certain taxpayers have been attempting to use
unrealistically low or zero interest rates to satisfy the formula test,
frustrating the intent of the test. Furthermore, the Treasury
Department and the IRS believe that a rule allowing for a rate other
than a rate based on an objective index would add unnecessary
complexity to the safe harbor. As a result, the rule in the proposed
regulations that permits a transferee to use a lower discount rate, if
the transferee can demonstrate that it regularly borrows substantial
funds at such lower rate, is not included in the final regulations; and
the Federal short-term rate has been substituted for the applicable
Federal rate. To simplify taxpayers' computations, the final
regulations allow use of any of the published short-term rates,
provided that the present values are computed with a corresponding
period of compounding. With the exception of the provisions relating to
transfers to foreign branches, these changes generally have the
proposed applicability date of February 4, 2000, but taxpayers may
choose to apply the interest rate formula set forth in the proposed
regulation and Rev. Proc. 2001-12 for transfers occurring before August
19, 2002.
It is anticipated that when final regulations are adopted with
respect to
[[Page 47453]]
FASITs, Sec. 1.860H-6(g) of the proposed regulations will be adopted in
substantially its present form, with the result that the final
regulations contained in this document will also govern transfers of
FASIT ownership interests with substantially the same applicability
date as is contained in this document.
Effect on Other Documents
Rev. Proc. 2001-12 (2001-3 I.R.B. 335) is obsolete for transfers of
noneconomic residual interests in REMICs occurring on or after August
19, 2002.
Special Analyses
It is hereby certified that these regulations will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
This certification is based on the fact that it is unlikely that a
substantial number of small entities will hold REMIC residual
interests. Therefore, a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) is not required. It has
been determined that this Treasury decision is not a significant
regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. Therefore, a
regulatory assessment is not required. It also has been determined that
sections 553(b) and 553(d) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5
U.S.C. chapter 5) do not apply to these regulations.

[TEXT OF AMENDMENT TO POOLING AND SERVICING
AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 11.01(E) FOR A
LIMITED GUARANTY]
ARTICLE XIII
Subordinate Certificate Loss Coverage; Limited Guaranty
Section 13.01. Subordinate Certificate Loss Coverage; Limited
Guaranty. (a) Subject to subsection (c) below, prior to the later of the
third Business Day prior to each Distribution Date or the related
Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall determine whether it or any
Sub-Servicer will be entitled to any reimbursement pursuant to Section
4.02(a) on such Distribution Date for Advances or Sub-Servicer Advances
previously made, (which will not be Advances or Sub-Servicer Advances that
were made with respect to delinquencies which were subsequently determined to
be Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Excess Bankruptcy
Losses or Extraordinary Losses) and, if so, the Master Servicer shall demand
payment from Residential Funding of an amount equal to the amount of any
Advances or Sub-Servicer Advances reimbursed pursuant to Section 4.02(a), to
the extent such Advances or Sub-Servicer Advances have not been included in
the amount of the Realized Loss in the related Mortgage Loan, and shall
distribute the same to the Class B Certificateholders in the same manner as
if such amount were to be distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(a).
(b) Subject to subsection (c) below, prior to the later of the
third Business Day prior to each Distribution Date or the related
Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall determine whether any Realized
Losses (other than Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses,
Excess Fraud Losses and Extraordinary Losses) will be allocated to the Class
B Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.05, and, if
so, the Master Servicer shall demand payment from Residential Funding of the
amount of such Realized Loss and shall distribute the same to the Class B
Certificateholders in the same manner as if such amount were to be
distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(a); provided, however, that the amount
of such demand in respect of any Distribution Date shall in no event be
greater than the sum of (i) the additional amount of Accrued Certificate
Interest that would have been paid for the Class B Certificateholders on such
Distribution Date had such Realized Loss or Losses not occurred plus (ii) the
amount of the reduction in the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class B
Certificates on such Distribution Date due to such Realized Loss or Losses.
Notwithstanding such payment, such Realized Losses shall be deemed to have
been borne by the Certificateholders for purposes of Section 4.05. Excess
Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses and
Extraordinary Losses allocated to the Class B Certificates will not be
covered by the Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation.
(c) Demands for payments pursuant to this Section shall be made
prior to the later of the third Business Day prior to each Distribution Date
or the related Determination Date by the Master Servicer with written notice
thereof to the Trustee. The maximum amount that Residential Funding shall be
required to pay pursuant to this Section on any Distribution Date (the
"Amount Available") shall be equal to the lesser of (X)
minus the sum of (i) all previous payments made under subsections (a) and (b)
hereof and (ii) all draws under the Limited Guaranty made in lieu of such
payments as described below in subsection (d) and (Y) the then outstanding
Certificate Principal Balances of the Class B Certificates, or such lower
amount as may be established pursuant to Section 13.02. Residential
Funding's obligations as described in this Section are referred to herein as
the "Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation."
(d) The Trustee will promptly notify GMAC LLC of any failure of
Residential Funding to make any payments hereunder and shall demand payment
pursuant to the limited guaranty (the "Limited Guaranty"), executed by GMAC
LLC, of Residential Funding's obligation to make payments pursuant to this
Section, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Amount Available and
(ii) such required payments, by delivering to GMAC LLC a written demand for
payment by wire transfer, not later than the second Business Day prior to the
Distribution Date for such month, with a copy to the Master Servicer.
(e) All payments made by Residential Funding pursuant to this
Section or amounts paid under the Limited Guaranty shall be deposited
directly in the Certificate Account, for distribution on the Distribution
Date for such month to the Class B Certificateholders.
(f) The Company shall have the option, in its sole discretion,
to substitute for either or both of the Limited Guaranty or the Subordinate
Certificate Loss Obligation another instrument in the form of a corporate
guaranty, an irrevocable letter of credit, a surety bond, insurance policy or
similar instrument or a reserve fund; provided that (i) the Company obtains
(subject to the provisions of Section 10.01(f) as if the Company was
substituted for the Master Servicer solely for the purposes of such
provision) an Opinion of Counsel (which need not be an opinion of Independent
counsel) to the effect that obtaining such substitute corporate guaranty,
irrevocable letter of credit, surety bond, insurance policy or similar
instrument or reserve fund will not cause either (a) any federal tax to be
imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any federal tax
imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860(F)(a)(1) of the Code
or on "contributions after the startup date" under Section 860(G)(d)(1) of
the Code or (b) the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Certificate is outstanding, and (ii) no such substitution shall be made
unless (A) the substitute Limited Guaranty or Subordinate Certificate Loss
Obligation is for an initial amount not less than the then current Amount
Available and contains provisions that are in all material respects
equivalent to the original Limited Guaranty or Subordinate Certificate Loss
Obligation (including that no portion of the fees, reimbursements or other
obligations under any such instrument will be borne by the Trust Fund), (B)
the long term debt obligations of any obligor of any substitute Limited
Guaranty or Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation (if not supported by the
Limited Guaranty) shall be rated at least the lesser of (a) the rating of the
long term debt obligations of GMAC LLC as of the date of issuance of the
Limited Guaranty and (b) the rating of the long term debt obligations of GMAC
LLC at the date of such substitution and (C) the Company obtains written
confirmation from each nationally recognized credit rating agency that rated
the Class B Certificates at the request of the Company that such substitution
shall not lower the rating on the Class B Certificates below the lesser of
(a) the then-current rating assigned to the Class B Certificates by such
rating agency and (b) the original rating assigned to the Class B
Certificates by such rating agency. Any replacement of the Limited Guaranty
or Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation pursuant to this Section shall be
accompanied by a written Opinion of Counsel to the substitute guarantor or
obligor, addressed to the Master Servicer and the Trustee, that such
substitute instrument constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
the substitute guarantor or obligor, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, and concerning such other matters as the Master Servicer and the
Trustee shall reasonably request. Neither the Company, the Master Servicer
nor the Trustee shall be obligated to substitute for or replace the Limited
Guaranty or Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation under any circumstance.
Section 13.02. Amendments Relating to the Limited Guaranty.
Notwithstanding Sections 11.01 or 13.01: (i) the provisions of this Article
XIII may be amended, superseded or deleted, (ii) the Limited Guaranty or
Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation may be amended, reduced or canceled,
and (iii) any other provision of this Agreement which is related or
incidental to the matters described in this Article XIII may be amended in
any manner; in each case by written instrument executed or consented to by
the Company and Residential Funding but without the consent of any
Certificateholder and without the consent of the Master Servicer or the
Trustee being required unless any such amendment would impose any additional
obligation on, or otherwise adversely affect the interests of, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable; provided that the Company shall also
obtain a letter from each nationally recognized credit rating agency that
rated the Class B Certificates at the request of the Company to the effect
that such amendment, reduction, deletion or cancellation will not lower the
rating on the Class B Certificates below the lesser of (a) the then-current
rating assigned to the Class B Certificates by such rating agency and (b) the
original rating assigned to the Class B Certificates by such rating agency,
unless (A) the Holder of 100% of the Class B Certificates is Residential
Funding or an Affiliate of Residential Funding, or (B) such amendment,
reduction, deletion or cancellation is made in accordance with Section
11.01(e) and, provided further that the Company obtains (subject to the
provisions of Section 10.01(f) as if the Company was substituted for the
Master Servicer solely for the purposes of such provision), in the case of a
material amendment or supercession (but not a reduction, cancellation or
deletion of the Limited Guaranty or the Subordinate Certificate Loss
Obligation), an Opinion of Counsel (which need not be an opinion of
Independent counsel) to the effect that any such amendment or supercession
will not cause either (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund,
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) the Trust Fund
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is
outstanding. A copy of any such instrument shall be provided to the Trustee
and the Master Servicer together with an Opinion of Counsel that such
amendment complies with this Section 13.02.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and 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, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and 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, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar 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 or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
