PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
In exchange for the Certificates, the Depositor hereby conveys the
Trust Estate to the Trustee to create the Trust. The Trust Estate for federal
income tax purposes will be treated as two separate real estate mortgage

respectively, and each, a "REMIC"). The Class A Certificates (other than the
Class A-R and Class A-LR Certificates), the Class SES Certificates and the Class
B Certificates are referred to collectively as the "Regular Certificates" and
shall constitute "regular interests" in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interests shall constitute the "regular interests" in the Lower-Tier
REMIC. The Class A-R Certificate shall be the "residual interest" in the
Upper-Tier REMIC and the Class A-LR Certificate shall be the "residual interest"
in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Certificates and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier
Interests will represent the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust.
The "latest possible maturity date" for federal income tax purposes of all
interests created hereby will be the REMIC Certificate Maturity Date.
The following table sets forth characteristics of the Certificates,
together with the minimum denominations and integral multiples in excess thereof

CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS
ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
Section 2.01 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans. (a) The Depositor,
concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, hereby sells, transfers,
assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, without recourse, all the right,
title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Mortgage Loans, including all
interest and principal received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other
than payments of principal and interest due and payable on the Mortgage Loans on
or before the Cut-Off Date). The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment and set
over does not and is not intended to result in a creation of an assumption by
the Trustee of any obligation of the Depositor or any other Person in connection
with the Mortgage Loans or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, except
as specifically set forth herein.
(b) In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor
has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, the following documents or instruments with respect to each
Mortgage Loan so assigned:
(i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed by manual or facsimile
signature in the following form: "Pay to the order of Xxxxx Fargo Bank
Minnesota, National Association, as trustee for holders of Banc of America
Alternative Loan Trust 2003-3 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2003-3, without recourse," with all necessary intervening endorsements
showing a complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the Trustee
(each such endorsement being sufficient to transfer all right, title and
interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in
and to that Mortgage Note);
(ii) except as provided below, the original recorded Mortgage with
evidence of a recording thereon, or if any such Mortgage has not been
returned from the applicable recording office or has been lost, or if such
public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage, a copy of
such Mortgage certified by the Depositor as being a true and correct copy
of the Mortgage;
(iii) subject to the provisos at the end of this paragraph, a duly
executed Assignment of Mortgage to "Xxxxx Fargo Bank Minnesota, National
Association, as trustee for the holders of Banc of America Alternative
Loan Trust 2003-3 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2003-3"
(which may be included in a blanket assignment or assignments), together
with, except as provided below, originals of all interim recorded
assignments of such mortgage or a copy of such interim assignment
certified by the Depositor as being a true and complete copy of the
original recorded intervening assignments of Mortgage (each such
assignment, when duly and validly completed, to be in recordable form and
sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee
thereof, under the Mortgage to which the assignment relates); provided
that, if the related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable
public recording office, such Assignment of Mortgage may exclude the
information to be provided by the recording office; and provided, further,
if the related Mortgage has been recorded in the name of Mortgage
Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. ("MERS") or its designee, no
Assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee will be required to be
prepared or delivered and instead, the Servicer shall take all actions as
are necessary to cause the Trust to be shown as the owner of the related
Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes of the system of
recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by
MERS;
(iv) the originals of all assumption, modification, consolidation or
extension agreements, if any, with evidence of recording thereon, if any;
(v) the original or duplicate original mortgagee title insurance
policy and all riders thereto;
(vi) the original of any guarantee executed in connection with the
Mortgage Note;
(vii) for each Mortgage Loan, if any, which is secured by a
residential long-term lease, a copy of the lease with evidence of
recording indicated thereon, or, if the lease is in the process of being
recorded, a photocopy of the lease, certified by an officer of the
respective prior owner of such Mortgage Loan or by the applicable title
insurance company, closing/settlement/escrow agent or company or closing
attorney to be a true and correct copy of the lease transmitted for
recordation;
(viii) the original of any security agreement, chattel mortgage or
equivalent document executed in connection with the Mortgage; and
(ix) for each Mortgage Loan secured by Co-op Shares, the originals
of the following documents or instruments:
(A) The stock certificate;
(B) The stock power executed in blank;
(C) The executed proprietary lease;
(D) The executed recognition agreement;
(E) The executed assignment of recognition agreement, if any;

(G) Executed UCC-3 financing statements or other appropriate
UCC financing statements required by state law, evidencing a
complete and unbroken line from the mortgagee to the Trustee with
evidence of recording thereon (or in a form suitable for
recordation).
provided, however, that on the Closing Date, with respect to item (iii), the
Depositor has delivered to the Trustee a copy of such Assignment of Mortgage in
blank and has caused the Servicer to retain the completed Assignment of Mortgage
for recording as described below, unless such Mortgage has been recorded in the
name of MERS or its designee. In addition, if the Depositor is unable to deliver
or cause the delivery of any original Mortgage Note due to the loss of such
original Mortgage Note, the Depositor may deliver a copy of such Mortgage Note,
together with a lost note affidavit, and shall thereby be deemed to have
satisfied the document delivery requirements of this Section 2.01(b). As set
forth on Exhibit L attached hereto is a list of all states where recordation is
required by either Rating Agency to obtain the initial ratings of the
Certificates. The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in relying upon the
information contained in such Exhibit L.
If in connection with any Mortgage Loans, the Depositor cannot
deliver (A) the Mortgage, (B) all interim recorded assignments, (C) all
assumption, modification, consolidation or extension agreements, if any, or (D)
the lender's title policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying the
requirements of clause (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above, respectively,
concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because such document or
documents have not been returned from the applicable public recording office in
the case of clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, or because the title policy has
not been delivered to either the Servicer or the Depositor by the applicable
title insurer in the case of clause (v) above, the Depositor shall promptly
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of
the Trustee, in the case of clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, such Mortgage,
such interim assignment or such assumption, modification, consolidation or
extension agreement, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated
thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording office, but in no event
shall any such delivery of any such documents or instruments be made later than
one year following the Closing Date, unless, in the case of clause (ii), (iii)
or (iv) above, there has been a continuing delay at the applicable recording
office or, in the case of clause (v), there has been a continuing delay at the
applicable insurer and the Depositor has delivered the Officer's Certificate to
such effect to the Trustee. The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded
to the Trustee (1) from time to time additional original documents evidencing an
assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (2) any other documents
required to be delivered by the Depositor or the Servicer to the Trustee or the
Custodian on the Trustee's behalf. In the event that the original Mortgage is
not delivered and in connection with the payment in full of the related Mortgage
Loan the public recording office requires the presentation of a "lost
instruments affidavit and indemnity" or any equivalent document, because only a
copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction or
reconveyance, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver or cause to be
prepared, executed and delivered, on behalf of the Trust, such a document to the
public recording office.
As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and
assignment, and in any event, within 30 days thereafter, the Servicer shall
(except for any Mortgage which has been recorded in the name of MERS or its
designee) (I) cause each Assignment of Mortgage to be in proper form for
recording in the appropriate public office for real property records within 30
days of the Closing Date and (II) at the Depositor's expense, cause to be
delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for real property
records the Assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, with
respect to any Assignment of a Mortgage as to which the Servicer has not
received the information required to prepare such assignment in recordable form,
the Servicer's obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording
shall be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information and in any
event within 30 days after the receipt thereof and, no recording of an
Assignment of Mortgage will be required in a state if either (i) the Depositor
furnishes to the Trustee an unqualified Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable
to the Trustee to the effect that recordation of such assignment is not
necessary under applicable state law to preserve the Trustee's interest in the
related Mortgage Loan against the claim of any subsequent transferee of such
Mortgage Loan or any successor to, or creditor of, the Depositor or the
originator of such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the recordation of an Assignment of
Mortgage in such state is not required by either Rating Agency in order to
obtain the initial ratings on the Certificates on the Closing Date.
In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of
the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to
the Trustee, or the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf, will cause the Servicer
to deposit in the Servicer Custodial Account the portion of such payment that is
required to be deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account pursuant to Section
3.08.
Section 2.02 Acceptance by the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.
Subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the Trustee declares that
it, or the Custodian as its agent, will hold the documents referred to in
Section 2.01 and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage
Files, and that it will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust
Estate, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. Upon execution and delivery of this document, the Trustee
shall deliver or cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor and the
Servicer a certification in the form of Exhibit M hereto (the "Initial
Certification") to the effect that, except as may be specified in a list of
exceptions attached thereto, it has received the original Mortgage Note relating
to each of the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
Within 90 days after the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
the Trustee shall review, or cause the Custodian to review, the Mortgage Files
in its possession, and shall deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer a
certification in the form of Exhibit N hereto (the ("Final Certification") to
the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule,
except as may be specified in a list of exceptions attached to such Final
Certification, such Mortgage File contains all of the items required to be
delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(b).
If, in the course of such review, the Trustee or the Custodian finds
any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the
requirements of Section 2.01 or is omitted from such Mortgage File, the Trustee
shall promptly so notify the Servicer and the Depositor, or shall cause the
Custodian to promptly so notify the Servicer and the Depositor. In performing
any such review, the Trustee or the Custodian may conclusively rely on the
purported genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon. It is
understood that the scope of the Trustee's or the Custodian's review of the
Mortgage Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents listed in
Section 2.01 have been received and further confirming that any and all
documents delivered pursuant to Section 2.01 appear on their face to have been
executed and relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule based solely upon the review of items (i) and (xi) in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule. Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall have any responsibility
for determining whether any document is valid and binding, whether the text of
any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether any
document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable
jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable
jurisdiction. The Depositor hereby covenants and agrees that it will promptly
correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so notified of
such defect and, if the Depositor does not correct or cure such defect within
such period, the Depositor will either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage
Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the
manner and subject to the conditions set forth below or (b) purchase such
Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the Repurchase Price for such Mortgage Loan;
provided, however, that in no event shall such a substitution occur more than
two years from the Closing Date; provided, further, that such substitution or
repurchase shall occur within 90 days of when such defect was discovered if such
defect will cause the Mortgage Loan not to be a "qualified mortgage" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.
With respect to each Substitute Mortgage Loan the Depositor shall
deliver to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage, the related Assignment of Mortgage (except for any Mortgage
which has been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee), and such other
documents and agreements as are otherwise required by Section 2.01, with the
Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.01. No
substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the
Determination Date for such month. Monthly Payments due with respect to any such
Substitute Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution shall not be part of the
Trust Estate and will be retained by the Depositor. For the month of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the Monthly
Payment due for such month on any Defective Mortgage Loan for which the
Depositor has substituted a Substitute Mortgage Loan.
The Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit
of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of each Mortgage Loan that has
become a Defective Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans and the Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule
to the Trustee and the Custodian. Upon such substitution, each Substitute
Mortgage Loan shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects,
and the Depositor shall be deemed to have made to the Trustee with respect to
such Substitute Mortgage Loan, as of the date of substitution, the
representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 2.04. Upon any such
substitution and the deposit to the Servicer Custodial Account of any required
Substitution Adjustment Amount (as described in the next paragraph) and receipt
of a Request for Release, the Trustee shall release, or shall direct the
Custodian to release, the Mortgage File relating to such Defective Mortgage Loan
to the Depositor and shall execute and deliver at the Depositor's direction such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Depositor, in each case
without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title in the Depositor, or its
designee, to the Trustee's interest in any Defective Mortgage Loan substituted
for pursuant to this Section 2.02.
For any month in which the Depositor substitutes one or more
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Defective Mortgage Loans, the amount
(if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Substitute
Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of all such Defective Mortgage Loans (after application of the
principal portion of the Monthly Payments due in the month of substitution) (the
"Substitution Adjustment Amount") plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any
unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Defective Mortgage Loans shall be
deposited into the Certificate Account by the Depositor on or before the
Remittance Date for the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar
month during which the related Mortgage Loan is required to be purchased or
replaced hereunder.
The Trustee shall retain or shall cause the Custodian to retain
possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to
the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Servicer shall promptly deliver
to the Trustee, upon the execution or, in the case of documents requiring
recording, receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or instruments
constituting the Mortgage File as come into the Servicer's possession from time
to time.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Depositor to
substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the
requirements of Section 2.01 shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such
defect available to the Trustee and any Certificateholder against the Depositor.
The Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be
under no duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such
documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are
genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they
are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine
whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in
Section 2.01(b)(iv), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix).
Section 2.03 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the
Servicer.
The Servicer hereby makes the following representations and
warranties to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date:
(i) The Servicer is a national banking association duly organized,
validly existing, and in good standing under the federal laws of the
United States of America and has all licenses necessary to carry on its
business as now being conducted and is licensed, qualified and in good
standing in each of the states where a Mortgaged Property is located if
the laws of such state require licensing or qualification in order to
conduct business of the type conducted by the Servicer. The Servicer has
power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform
in accordance herewith; the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement (including all instruments of transfer to be delivered pursuant
to this Agreement) by the Servicer and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized.
This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the
other parties hereto, evidences the valid, binding and enforceable
obligation of the Servicer, subject to applicable law except as
enforceability may be limited by (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation,
receivership, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting
the enforcement of the rights of creditors and (B) general principles of
equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.
All requisite corporate action has been taken by the Servicer to make this
Agreement valid and binding upon the Servicer in accordance with its
terms.
(ii) No consent, approval, authorization or order is required for
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from any court,
governmental agency or body, or federal or state regulatory authority
having jurisdiction over the Servicer is required or, if required, such
consent, approval, authorization or order has been or will, prior to the
Closing Date, be obtained.
(iii) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Servicer and will
not result in the breach of any term or provision of the charter or
by-laws of the Servicer or result in the breach of any term or provision
of, or conflict with or constitute a default under or result in the
acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement, indenture or loan or
credit agreement or other instrument to which the Servicer or its property
is subject, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation,
order, judgment or decree to which the Servicer or its property is
subject.
(iv) There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending
or, to the best knowledge of the Servicer, threatened against the Servicer
which, either individually or in the aggregate, would result in any
material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition,
properties or assets of the Servicer, or in any material impairment of the
right or ability of the Servicer to carry on its business substantially as
now conducted or which would draw into question the validity of this
Agreement or the Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in
connection with the obligations of the Servicer contemplated herein, or
which would materially impair the ability of the Servicer to perform under
the terms of this Agreement.
The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section
2.03 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholders.
Section 2.04 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to
the Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with
respect to the Mortgage Loans or each Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, as of
the date hereof or such other date set forth herein that as of the Closing Date:
(i) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is true
and correct in all material respects.
(ii) There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, governmental
assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including assessments
payable in future installments or other outstanding charges affecting the
lien priority of the related Mortgaged Property.
(iii) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been
impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written
instruments, recorded in the applicable public recording office if
necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have
been delivered to the Trustee; the substance of any such waiver,
alteration or modification has been approved by the insurer under the
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, the title insurer, to the
extent required by the related policy, and is reflected on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has
been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part,
except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the insurer
under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, the title insurer, to
the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement has been
delivered to the Trustee.
(iv) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right
of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and
the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or
subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense,
including the defense of usury and no such right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.
(v) All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an
insurer generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions
against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards
as are customary in the area the Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant
to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of Customary
Servicing Procedures and this Agreement. All such insurance policies
contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the originator of the Mortgage
Loan, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon
have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a
flood hazard map or flood insurance rate map issued by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such
flood insurance has been made available), a flood insurance policy meeting
the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of
FNMA or FHLMC. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain
all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the
Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to
maintain such insurance at Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.
(vi) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law
including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate
settlement procedures, consumer credit protections, all applicable
predatory and abusive lending laws, equal credit opportunity or disclosure
laws applicable to the origination and servicing of Mortgage Loan have
been complied with.
(vii) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or
rescinded, in whole or in part (other than as to Principal Prepayments in
full which may have been received prior to the Closing Date), and the
Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in
whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect
any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release.
(viii) The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first lien
on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged
Property subject only to (A) the lien of current real property taxes and
assessments not yet due and payable, (B) covenants, conditions and
restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public
record as of the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage lending
institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and
which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged
Property, (C) if the Mortgaged Property consists of Co-op Shares, any lien
for amounts due to the cooperative housing corporation for unpaid
assessments or charges or any lien of any assignment of rents or
maintenance expenses secured by the real property owned by the cooperative
housing corporation, and (D) other matters to which like properties are
commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of
the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use,
enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any
security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and
delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a
valid, existing and enforceable first lien and first priority security
interest on the property described therein and the Depositor has the full
right to sell and assign the same to the Trustee.
(ix) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each
is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof,
enforceable in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be
limited by (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership,
moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement
of the rights of creditors and (B) general principles of equity, whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(x) All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal
capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage
have been duly and properly executed by such parties.
(xi) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to
or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the
Mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder and any and all
requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and
as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with.
All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage
Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor
is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee
pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.
(xii) To the best of the Depositor's knowledge, all parties which
have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee,
assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they
held and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any and all
applicable "doing business" and licensing requirements of the laws of the
state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located.
(xiii) The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title
insurance policy, acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, issued by a title insurer
acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to
the exceptions contained in (viii)(A) and (B) above) the Seller, its
successors and assigns as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in
the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. The Depositor is the
sole insured of such lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's
title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full
force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title
insurance policy, and the Depositor has not done, by act or omission,
anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance
policy.
(xiv) There is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any
grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or
event of acceleration, and the Seller has not waived any default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration.
(xv) As of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, there had
been no mechanics' or similar liens or claims filed for work, labor or
material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to
such lien) affecting the relating Mortgaged Property which are or may be
liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related
Mortgage.
(xvi) All improvements which were considered in determining the
Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the
boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and
no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged
Property.
(xvii) The Mortgage Loan was originated by a commercial bank or
similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal
or state authority, or by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of HUD.
(xviii) Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more
than sixty days after the proceeds of the Mortgaged Loan were disbursed.
The Mortgage Loans are 20 and 30-year fixed rate mortgage loans having an
original term to maturity of not more than 20 and 30 years, with interest
payable in arrears on the first day of the month. Each Mortgage Note
requires a monthly payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the
original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay
interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. The Mortgage Note does not
permit negative amortization.
(xix) There is no proceeding pending or, to the Depositor's
knowledge, threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the
Mortgaged Property and such property is in good repair and is undamaged by
waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or
other casualty, so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged
Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the
premises were intended.
(xx) The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the
holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property
of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including (A) in the
case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and
(B) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. To the best of the Depositor's
knowledge, following the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or
foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection
under applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other exemption
or right available to the Mortgagor or any other person which would
interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's
sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage.
(xxi) The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to FNMA
or FHLMC.
(xxii) The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any
collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged
Property and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or
chattel mortgage referred to in (viii) above.
(xxiii) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related
Mortgaged Property, in a form acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and such
appraisal complies with the requirements of FIRREA, and was made and
signed, prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application, by a
Qualified Appraiser.
(xxiv) In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a
trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been
properly designated and currently so serves, and no fees or expenses are
or will become payable by the Trustee to the trustee under the deed of
trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the
Mortgagor.
(xxv) No Mortgage Loan is a graduated payment mortgage loan, no
Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation or other contingent interest
feature, and no Mortgage Loan contains any "buydown" provision.
(xxvi) The Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required
by applicable law with respect to the making of mortgage loans of the same
type as the Mortgage Loan and rescission materials required by applicable
law if the Mortgage Loan is a Refinance Mortgage Loan.
(xxvii) Each Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination
in excess of 80% will be subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy,
issued by an insurer acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, which insures that
portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of the portion of the Appraised
Value of the Mortgaged Property required by FNMA. All provisions of such
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with,
such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder
have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such
insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith at
least until Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to less
than 80%. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan does not
include any such insurance premium.
(xxviii) To the best of the Depositor's knowledge as of the date of
origination of the Mortgage Loan, (A) the Mortgaged Property is lawfully
occupied under applicable law, (B) all inspections, licenses and
certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied
portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and
occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of
occupancy, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities and
(C) no improvement located on or part of the Mortgaged Property is in
violation of any zoning law or regulation.
(xxix) The Assignment of Mortgage (except with respect to any
Mortgage that has been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee) is in
recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.
(xxx) All payments required to be made prior to the Cut-Off Date for
such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and
no Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent more than once in
the twelve month period immediately prior to the Cut-Off Date.
(xxxi) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Depositor or Servicer
is in possession of a complete Mortgage File except for the documents
which have been delivered to the Trustee or which have been submitted for
recording and not yet returned.
(xxxii) Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment
contemplated herein, the Depositor was the sole owner and holder of the
Mortgage Loans. The Mortgage Loans were not assigned or pledged by the
Depositor and the Depositor had good and marketable title thereto, and the
Depositor had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loans to the
Trustee free and clear of any encumbrance, participation interest, lien,
equity, pledge, claim or security interest and had full right and
authority subject to no interest or participation in, or agreement with
any other party to sell or otherwise transfer the Mortgage Loans.
(xxxiii) Any future advances made prior to the Cut-Off Date have
been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the
Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a
single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage
securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having
first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the
policy insuring the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other title
evidence acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC. The consolidated principal amount
does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan.
(xxxiv) The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the
applicable Underwriting Guidelines in effect at the time of origination
with exceptions thereto exercised in a reasonable manner.
(xxxv) If the Mortgage Loan is secured by a long-term residential
lease, (1) the lessor under the lease holds a fee simple interest in the
land; (2) the terms of such lease expressly permit the mortgaging of the
leasehold estate, the assignment of the lease without the lessor's consent
and the acquisition by the holder of the Mortgage of the rights of the
lessee upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or provide
the holder of the Mortgage with substantially similar protections; (3) the
terms of such lease do not (a) allow the termination thereof upon the
lessee's default without the holder of the Mortgage being entitled to
receive written notice of, and opportunity to cure, such default, (b)
allow the termination of the lease in the event of damage or destruction
as long as the Mortgage is in existence, (c) prohibit the holder of the
Mortgage from being insured (or receiving proceeds of insurance) under the
hazard insurance policy or policies relating to the Mortgaged Property or
(d) permit any increase in the rent other than pre-established increases
set forth in the lease; (4) the original term of such lease in not less
than 15 years; (5) the term of such lease does not terminate earlier than
five years after the maturity date of the Mortgage Note; and (6) the
Mortgaged Property is located in a jurisdiction in which the use of
leasehold estates in transferring ownership in residential properties is a
widely accepted practice.
(xxxvi) The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in
the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a parcel of real property with
a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to
four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit, or an individual
unit in a planned unit development, or, in the case of Mortgage Loans
secured by Co-op Shares, leases or occupancy agreements; provided,
however, that any condominium project or planned unit development
generally conforms with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines regarding
such dwellings, and no residence or dwelling is a mobile home or a
manufactured dwelling.
(xxxvii) The Depositor used no adverse selection procedures in
selecting the Mortgage Loan for inclusion in the Trust Estate.
(xxxviii) Each Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage" within
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.
(xxxix) With respect to each Mortgage where a lost note affidavit
has been delivered to the Trustee in place of the related Mortgage Note,
the related Mortgage Note is no longer in existence.
(xl) No Mortgage Loan is a "high cost" loan as defined under any
federal, state or local law applicable to such Mortgage Loan at the time
of its origination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no representations or warranties are
made by the Depositor as to the environmental condition of any Mortgaged
Property; the absence, presence or effect of hazardous wastes or hazardous
substances on any Mortgaged Property; any casualty resulting from the presence
or effect of hazardous wastes or hazardous substances on, near or emanating from
any Mortgaged Property; the impact on Certificateholders of any environmental
condition or presence of any hazardous substance on or near any Mortgaged
Property; or the compliance of any Mortgaged Property with any environmental
laws, nor is any agent, Person or entity otherwise affiliated with the Depositor
authorized or able to make any such representation, warranty or assumption of
liability relative to any Mortgaged Property. In addition, no representations or
warranties are made by the Depositor with respect to the absence or effect of
fraud in the origination of any Mortgage Loan.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage
Files to the Trustee or the Custodian and shall inure to the benefit of the
Trustee, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment.
Upon discovery by either the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or
the Custodian that any of the representations and warranties set forth in this
Section 2.04 is not accurate (referred to herein as a "breach") and that such
breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders
in the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the other parties (any Custodian being so obligated
under a Custodial Agreement); provided that any such breach that causes the
Mortgage Loan not to be a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the
interests of the Certificateholders. Within 90 days of its discovery or its
receipt of notice of any such breach, the Depositor shall cure such breach in
all material respects or shall either (i) repurchase the Mortgage Loan or any
property acquired in respect thereof from the Trustee at a price equal to the
Repurchase Price or (ii) if within two years of the Closing Date, substitute for
such Mortgage Loan in the manner described in Section 2.02; 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 repurchase or substitution
must occur within 90 days from the date the breach was discovered. In addition
to the foregoing. if a breach of the representation set forth in clause (vi) of
this Section 2.04 occurs as a result of a violation of an applicable predatory
or abusive lending law, the Depositor shall reimburse the Trust for all costs or
damages incurred by the Trust as a result of the violation of such law (such
amount, the "Reimbursement Amount"). The Repurchase Price of any repurchase
described in this paragraph, the Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and any
Reimbursement Amount shall be deposited in the Certificate Account. It is
understood and agreed that, except with respect to the second preceding
sentence, the obligation of the Depositor to repurchase or substitute for any
Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property as to which such a breach has occurred and
is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available
to Certificateholders, or to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders, and
such obligation shall survive until termination of the Trust hereunder.
Section 2.05 Designation of Interests in the REMICs. The Depositor
hereby designates the Classes of Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-R
and Class A-LR Certificates), the Class SES Certificates and the Classes of
Class B Certificates as "regular interests" and the Class A-R Certificate as the
single class of "residual interest" in the Upper-Tier REMIC for the purposes of
Code Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860G(a)(2), respectively. The Depositor hereby
further designates the Class A-L1 Interest, Class A-L2 Interest, Class A-L4
Interest, Class A-LPO Interest, Class A-LUR Interest, Class A-LWIO Interest,
Class LSES Interest, Class B-L1 Interest, Class B-L2 Interest, Class B-L3
Interest, Class B-L4 Interest, Class B-L5 Interest and Class B-L6 Interest as
classes of "regular interests" and the Class A-LR Certificate as the single
class of "residual interest" in the Lower-Tier REMIC for the purposes of Code
Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860G(a)(2), respectively.
Section 2.06 Designation of Start-up Day. The Closing Date is hereby
designated as the "start-up day" of each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier
REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
Section 2.07 REMIC Certificate Maturity Date. Solely for purposes of
satisfying Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations, the "latest
possible maturity date" of the regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC and
Lower-Tier REMIC is May 25, 2033.
Section 2.08 Execution and Delivery of Certificates. The Trustee (i)
acknowledges the issuance of and hereby declares that it holds the
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests on behalf of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the
Certificateholders and (ii) has executed and delivered to or upon the order of
the Depositor, in exchange for the Mortgage Loans and Uncertificated Lower-Tier
Interests together with all other assets included in the definition of "Trust
Estate," receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Certificates in authorized
denominations which, together with the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests,

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01 Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans. For and on behalf
of the Certificateholders, the Servicer shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Customary
Servicing Procedures, applicable law and the terms of the Mortgage Notes and
Mortgages. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Servicer
shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as
provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it
may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and
administration including, but not limited to, the power and authority, subject
to the terms hereof, (a) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other
instruments and documents, (b) to consent, with respect to the Mortgage Loans it
services, to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage
Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement),
(c) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds relating to
the Mortgage Loans it services, and (d) to effectuate foreclosure or other
conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan
it services. The Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust
in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own
portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan and
shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of
any Mortgage Loan, except as provided pursuant to Section 3.21. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, in its own name or in the name of
any Subservicer or the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and
empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Servicer or any
Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its reasonable
judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans it services, and with
respect to the related Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. The Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor
and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by either or
both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service
and administer the Mortgage Loans it services to the extent that the Servicer is
not permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding
sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee, upon
the direction of the Servicer, shall promptly execute such documents and deliver
them to the Servicer.
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the
Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the
purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties relating to the Mortgage Loans it services, which Servicing Advances
shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the
Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11.
The costs incurred by the Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of
taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums
shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the
Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balances of the related
Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
The relationship of the Servicer (and of any successor to the
Servicer as servicer under this Agreement) to the Trustee under this Agreement
is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that
of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
Section 3.02 Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of
Servicer.
(a) The Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage
Loan it services by a Subservicer pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement;
provided, however, that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the
related Subservicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage
Loan in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated
hereunder. Notwithstanding the provisions of any Subservicing Agreement, any of
the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between
the Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a
Subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and
administration of the Mortgage Loans it services in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability
by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same
terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering
those Mortgage Loans. All actions of each Subservicer performed pursuant to the
related Subservicing Agreement shall be performed as agent of the Servicer with
the same force and effect as if performed directly by the Servicer.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to
have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the
Mortgage Loans it services that are received by a Subservicer regardless of
whether such payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Servicer.
(c) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for
the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall use its best
reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of each Subservicer engaged by the
Servicer under the related Subservicing Agreement, to the extent that the
non-performance of any such obligation would have a material and adverse effect
on a Mortgage Loan. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims, termination of Subservicing Agreements 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 Servicer, in its good faith business judgment,
would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The 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.
(d) Any Subservicing Agreement entered into by the Servicer shall
provide that it may be assumed or terminated by the Trustee, if the Trustee has
assumed the duties of the Servicer, or any successor Servicer, at the Trustee's
or successor Servicer's option, as applicable, without cost or obligation to the
assuming or terminating party or the Trust Estate, upon the assumption by such
party of the obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05.
Any Subservicing Agreement, and any other transactions or services
relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer, shall be deemed to be
between the Servicer and such Subservicer alone, and the Trustee and the
Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims
or rights of action against, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities to or
with respect to the Subservicer or its officers, directors or employees, except
as set forth in Section 3.01.
Section 3.03 Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omissions Insurance.
The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity
bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage on all
officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such
persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage
Loans it services. These policies must insure the Servicer against losses
resulting from dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by the Servicer's
personnel, any employees of outside firms that provide data processing services
for the Servicer, and temporary contract employees or student interns. Such
fidelity bond shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in
connection with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having
obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of
this Section 3.03 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions
insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations
as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and
insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required
by FNMA in the FNMA Servicing Guide or by FHLMC in the FHLMC Sellers' &
Servicers' Guide, as amended or restated from time to time, or in an amount as
may be permitted to the Servicer by express waiver of FNMA or FHLMC.
Section 3.04 Access to Certain Documentation.
The Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to comparable
regulatory authorities supervising Holders of Subordinate Certificates and the
examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and such other
authorities, access to the documentation required by applicable regulations of
the OTS and the FDIC with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Such access shall be
afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request and
during normal business hours at the offices designated by the Servicer. Nothing
in this Section 3.04 shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to observe any
applicable law and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in
this Section 3.04 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach
of this Section 3.04.
Section 3.05 Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy;
Claims.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio in
excess of 80% or such other Loan-to-Value Ratio as may be required by law, the
Servicer responsible for servicing such Mortgage Loan shall, without any cost to
the Trust Estate, maintain or cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and
effect a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insuring that portion of the Mortgage
Loan in excess of a percentage in conformity with FNMA requirements. The
Servicer shall pay or shall cause the Mortgagor to pay the premium thereon on a
timely basis, at least until the Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is
reduced to 80% or such other Loan-to-Value Ratio as may be required by law. If
such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated, the Servicer shall obtain
from another insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage
equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy. If the insurer shall cease to be an insurer acceptable to FNMA, the
Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing, it being understood that the
Servicer shall not have any responsibility or liability for any failure to
recover under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such reason. If the
Servicer determines that recoveries under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy
are jeopardized by the financial condition of the insurer, the Servicer shall
obtain from another insurer which meets the requirements of this Section 3.05 a
replacement insurance policy. The Servicer shall not take any action that would
result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of
any loss that, but for the actions of the Servicer, would have been covered
thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered
into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 3.13, the Servicer shall promptly
notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any,
of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of
such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and shall take all actions which may be
required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under
such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of
liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy as provided above.
In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees
to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary
to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a
defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 3.09(a), any amounts collected by
the Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in
the related Escrow Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.09(b).
The Servicer will comply with all provisions of applicable state and
federal law relating to the cancellation of, or collection of premiums with
respect to, Primary Mortgage Insurance, including, but not limited to, the
provisions of the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, and all regulations
promulgated thereunder, as amended from time to time.
Section 3.06 Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of
the Servicer.
The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations
of the Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a
designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Servicer hereunder and in
connection with any such defaulted obligation to exercise the related rights of
the Servicer hereunder; provided that the Servicer shall not be relieved of any
of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or
its designee. Neither the Trustee nor the Depositor shall have any
responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Servicer nor
shall the Trustee or the Depositor be obligated to supervise the performance of
the Servicer hereunder or otherwise.
Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer
in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the
Servicer alone, and the Trustee and Certificateholders shall not be deemed
parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or
liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set forth in Section 3.07.
The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Subservicer,
irrespective of whether the Servicer's compensation pursuant to this Agreement
is sufficient to pay such fees.
Section 3.07 Trustee to Act as Servicer.
If the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer
hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee shall within
90 days of such time, assume, if it so elects, or shall appoint a successor
Servicer to assume, all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder
arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (a) liable for losses
of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12 or any acts or omissions of the
predecessor Servicer hereunder, (b) obligated to make Advances if it is
prohibited from doing so by applicable law or (c) deemed to have made any
representations and warranties of the Servicer hereunder). Any such assumption
shall be subject to Sections 7.02 and 8.05. If the Servicer shall for any reason
no longer be the Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default), the
Trustee or the successor Servicer may elect to succeed to any rights and
obligations of the Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement or may terminate
each Subservicing Agreement. If it has elected to assume the Subservicing
Agreement, the Trustee or the successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed
all of the Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the Servicer as a
party to any Subservicing Agreement entered into by the Servicer as contemplated
by Section 3.02 to the same extent as if the Subservicing Agreement had been
assigned to the assuming party except that the Servicer shall not be relieved of
any liability or obligations under any such Subservicing Agreement.
The Servicer that is no longer the Servicer hereunder shall, upon
request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the Servicer, deliver to the
assuming party all documents and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement
or substitute servicing agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced
thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise
use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of such
substitute Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party. The Trustee shall be
entitled to be reimbursed from the Servicer (or the Trust if the Servicer is
unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all Servicing Transfer Costs.
Section 3.08 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Servicer
Custodial Account and Certificate Account. (a) Continuously from the date hereof
until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the
Servicer will proceed diligently, in accordance with this Agreement, to collect
all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans it services when the same
shall become due and payable. Further, the Servicer will in accordance with all
applicable law and Customary Servicing Procedures ascertain and estimate taxes,
assessments, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums and
all other charges with respect to the Mortgage Loans it services that, as
provided in any Mortgage, will become due and payable to the end that the
installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as
and when they become due and payable. Consistent with the foregoing, the
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 it services and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a
Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 120 days; provided, however, that
the Servicer cannot extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan past the date
on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the
Cut-Off Date. In the event of any such arrangement, the Servicer shall make
Periodic Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions
of Section 3.20 during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization
schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such
arrangements. The Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in
litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage,
Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with
respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing
the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment
is required is prohibited by applicable law.
(b) The Servicer shall establish and maintain the Servicer Custodial
Account. The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Servicer
Custodial Account, all on a daily basis within one Business Day of receipt,
except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments and
collections remitted by Subservicers or received by the Servicer in respect of
the Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-Off Date (other than in respect of
principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-Off Date)
and the following amounts required to be deposited hereunder with respect to the
Mortgage Loans it services:
(i) all payments on account of principal of the Mortgage Loans,
including Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, net
of the Servicing Fee;
(iii) (A) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, other
than Insurance Proceeds to be (1) applied to the restoration or repair of
the Mortgaged Property, (2) released to the Mortgagor in accordance with
Customary Servicing Procedures or (3) required to be deposited to an
Escrow Account pursuant to Section 3.09(a), and other than any Excess
Proceeds and (B) any Insurance Proceeds released from an Escrow Account
pursuant to Section 3.09(b)(iv);
(iv) any amount required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.08(d) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments
with respect to the Servicer Custodial Account;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.14;
(vi) all Repurchase Prices and all Substitution Adjustment Amounts
received by the Servicer;
(vii) Periodic Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section
3.20 and any Servicer Compensating Interest;
(viii) all Ancillary Income with respect to the Mortgage Loans; and
(ix) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.
The foregoing requirements for deposits to the Servicer Custodial
Account by the Servicer shall be exclusive. If the Servicer shall deposit in the
Servicer Custodial Account any amount not required to be deposited, it may at
any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Servicer Custodial
Account to withdraw such amount from the Servicer Custodial Account, any
provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Servicer 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 Servicer or serviced by the Servicer
on behalf of others. Notwithstanding such commingling of funds, the Servicer
shall keep records that accurately reflect the funds on deposit in the Servicer
Custodial Account that have been identified by it as being attributable to the
Mortgage Loans it services. The Servicer shall maintain adequate records with
respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section 3.08. All funds
required to be deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account shall be held in
trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section
3.11.
(c) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Certificate Account, which shall be deemed to consist of
two sub-accounts. The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the
Certificate Account and retain therein the following:
(i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(viii);
(ii) any amount paid by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.08(d) in
connection with any losses on Permitted Investments with respect to the
Certificate Account; and
(iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be
deposited in the Certificate Account.
If the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted,
it may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw such amount from the
Certificate Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such
direction may be accomplished by delivering an Officer's Certificate to the
Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Certificate
Account. All funds required to be deposited in the Certificate Account shall be
held by the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in
accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.11. In
no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Certificate
Account at the direction of a the Servicer.
(d) Each institution at which the Servicer Custodial Account or the
Certificate Account is maintained shall invest the funds therein as directed in
writing by the Servicer, in the case of the Servicer Custodial Account, or the
Trustee, in the case of the Certificate Account, in Permitted Investments, which
shall mature not later than (i) in the case of the Servicer Custodial Account,
the Business Day next preceding the related Remittance Date (except that if such
Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such
account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such
Remittance Date) and (ii) in the case of the Certificate Account, the Business
Day next preceding the Distribution Date (except that if such Permitted
Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such account, then
such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Date)
and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All
such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders. All Servicer Custodial Account Reinvestment
Income shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as part of its Servicing
Compensation and shall be retained by it monthly as provided herein. All income
or gain (net of any losses) realized from any such investment of funds on
deposit in the Certificate Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee as
additional compensation and shall be retained by it monthly as provided herein.
The amount of any losses realized in the Servicer Custodial Account or the
Certificate Account incurred in any such account in respect of any such
investments shall promptly be deposited by the Servicer in the Servicer
Custodial Account or by the Trustee in the Certificate Account, as applicable.
(e) The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee of any proposed
change of the location of the Servicer Custodial Account maintained by the
Servicer not later than 30 days and not more than 45 days prior to any change
thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the Servicer, each Rating Agency and
the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Certificate Account
not later than 30 days after and not more than 45 days prior to any change
thereof. The creation of the Servicer Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto. A copy of such
certification shall be furnished to the Trustee.
(f) The Trustee shall designate the Lower-Tier Certificate
Sub-Account and the Upper-Tier Certificate Sub-Account as sub-accounts of the
Certificate Account. On each Distribution Date (other than the Final
Distribution Date, if such Final Distribution Date is in connection with a
purchase of the assets of the Trust Estate by the Depositor), the Trustee shall,
from funds available on deposit in the Certificate Account, be deemed to deposit
into the Upper-Tier Certificate Sub-Account, the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount.
Section 3.09 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Escrow Accounts.
(a) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not
violative of current law, the Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow
Payments in trust separate and apart from any of its own funds and general
assets and for such purpose shall establish and maintain one or more escrow
accounts (collectively, the "Escrow Account"), titled "[Insert name of
Servicer], in trust for registered holders of Banc of America Alternative Loan
Trust 2003-3 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2003-3 and various
Mortgagors." The Escrow Account shall be established with a commercial bank, a
savings bank or a savings and loan association that meets the guidelines set
forth by FNMA or FHLMC as an eligible institution for escrow accounts and which
is a member of the Automated Clearing House. In any case, the Escrow Account
shall be insured by the FDIC to the fullest extent permitted by law. The
Servicer shall deposit in the appropriate Escrow Account on a daily basis, and
retain therein: (i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage
Loans, (ii) all amounts representing proceeds of any hazard insurance policy
which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any related Mortgaged
Property and (iii) all amounts representing proceeds of any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy. Nothing herein shall require the Servicer to compel a
Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law.
(b) Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may
be made by the Servicer only (i) to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments,
mortgage insurance premiums, fire and hazard insurance premiums, condominium or
PUD association dues, or comparable items constituting Escrow Payments for the
related Mortgage, (ii) to reimburse the Servicer out of related Escrow Payments
made with respect to a Mortgage Loan for any Servicing Advance made by the
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09(c) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, (iii)
to refund to any Mortgagor any sums determined to be overages, (iv) for transfer
to the Servicer Custodial Account upon default of a Mortgagor or in accordance
with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and if permitted by applicable law,
(v) for application to restore or repair the Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to
the Mortgagor, to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds
deposited in the Escrow Account, (vii) to pay to itself any interest earned on
funds deposited in the Escrow Account (and not required to be paid to the
Mortgagor), (viii) to the extent permitted under the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and applicable law, to pay late fees with respect to any Monthly
Payment which is received after the applicable grace period, (ix) to withdraw
suspense payments that are deposited into the Escrow Account, (x) to withdraw
any amounts inadvertently deposited in the Escrow Account or (xi) to clear and
terminate the Escrow Account upon the termination of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 10.01. Any Escrow Account shall not be a part of the
Trust Estate.
(c) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain
accurate records reflecting the status of taxes, assessments and other charges
which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance
coverage. The Servicer shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the
payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment
thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time
appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose
deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account, if any, which shall have been
estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such
purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage. To the extent that a
Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that
any such payments are made by the Mortgagor. The Servicer assumes full
responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely
payments of all such bills irrespective of each Mortgagor's faithful performance
in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments. The Servicer shall
advance any such payments that are not timely paid, but the Servicer shall be
required so to advance only to the extent that such Servicing Advances, in the
good faith judgment of the Servicer, will be recoverable by the Servicer out of
Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.
Section 3.10 Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Mortgage Loans.
The Servicer shall afford the Trustee reasonable access to all
records and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans and all accounts,
insurance information and other matters relating to this Agreement, such access
being afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during
normal business hours at the office designated by the Servicer.
Upon reasonable advance notice in writing, the Servicer will provide
to each Certificateholder which is a savings and loan association, bank or
insurance company certain reports and reasonable access to information and
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans sufficient to permit such
Certificateholder to comply with applicable regulations of the OTS or other
regulatory authorities with respect to investment in the Certificates; provided
that the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such
Certificateholder for actual expenses incurred by the Servicer in providing such
reports and access.
Section 3.11 Permitted Withdrawals from the Servicer Custodial
Account and Certificate Account.
(a) The Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the
Servicer Custodial Account, for the following purposes:
(i) to pay to the Servicer (to the extent not previously retained),
the Servicing Compensation to which it is entitled pursuant to Section
3.17;
(ii) to reimburse the Servicer for unreimbursed Advances made by it,
such right of reimbursement pursuant to this clause (ii) being limited to
amounts received on the Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which any such
Advance was made;
(iii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance
previously made;
(iv) to reimburse the Servicer for Insured Expenses from the related

incurred by any of them and reimbursable pursuant to Section 7.03;
(vii) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Servicer Custodial
Account and not required to be deposited therein;
(viii) on or prior to the Remittance Date, to withdraw an amount
equal to the Pool Distribution Amount (less, at the Servicer's option, but
only for so long as Bank of America is the Servicer and Bank of America or
an affiliate is the sole Holder of the Class SES Certificates, an amount
up to 1/12th of 0.200% per annum of the Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans on the Due Date in the month preceding the month of such
Distribution Date, which amount shall be withdrawn on the related
Distribution Date and remitted to the Holders of the Class SES
Certificates on behalf of the Trustee in respect of the Class SES
Distributable Amount on such Distribution Date), any Ancillary Income
(less, at the Servicer's option, but only for so long as Bank of America
is the Servicer and Bank of America or an affiliate is the sole Holder of
the Class SES Certificates, any portion of Ancillary Income not used for
Compensating Interest for such Distribution Date, which amount shall be
withdrawn on the related Distribution Date and remitted to the Holders of
the Class SES Certificates on behalf of the Trustee in respect of the
Class SES Distributable Amount on such Distribution Date), the related
Trustee Fee and any other amounts due to the Trustee under this Agreement
for such Distribution Date, to the extent on deposit, and remit such
amount in immediately available funds to the Trustee for deposit in the
Certificate Account; and
(ix) to clear and terminate the Servicer Custodial Account upon
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01.
The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Servicer Custodial Account pursuant to clauses (i), (ii),
(iv) and (v). Prior to making any withdrawal from the Servicer Custodial Account
pursuant to clause (iii), the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's
Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any previous Advance
determined by the Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the
related Mortgage Loan(s) and their respective portions of such Nonrecoverable
Advance.
(b) The Trustee shall be deemed to withdraw funds from the
applicable Certificate Account sub-accounts to deposit the Lower-Tier
Distribution Amount into the Upper-Tier Certificate Sub-Account and for
distributions to Certificateholders in the manner specified in this Agreement.
In addition, the Trustee may from time to time make withdrawals from the
Certificate Account for the following purposes:
(i) to pay to itself the Trustee Fee and any other amounts due to
the Trustee under this Agreement for the related Distribution Date;
(ii) to pay to itself as additional compensation earnings on or
investment income with respect to funds in the Certificate Account;
(iii) to withdraw and return to the Servicer any amount deposited in
the Certificate Account and not required to be deposited therein; and
(iv) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon termination
of the Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01.
(c) On each Distribution Date, funds on deposit in the Certificate
Account and deemed to be on deposit in the Upper-Tier Certificate Sub-Account
shall be used to make payments on the Regular Certificates and the Class A-R
Certificate as provided in Sections 5.01 and 5.02. The Certificate Account shall
be cleared and terminated upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
10.01.
Section 3.12 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan,
fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage customary in the area where the
Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser
of (a) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property or (b) the greater of
(i) the outstanding principal balance owing on the Mortgage Loan and (ii) an
amount such that the proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient to avoid the
application to the Mortgagor or loss payee of any coinsurance clause under the
policy. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal
Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood
hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) the Servicer will
cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration and the requirements
of FNMA or FHLMC. The Servicer shall also maintain on REO Property, fire and
hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to
the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such
property, liability insurance and, to the extent required, flood insurance in an
amount required above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such
policies (other than amounts to be deposited in an Escrow Account and applied to
the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or
property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures) shall be deposited
in the Servicer Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.11(a). It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional
insurance need be required by the Servicer of any Mortgagor or maintained on REO
Property, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall
at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All
policies required hereunder shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses
with loss payable to the Servicer, and shall provide for at least 30 days prior
written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in
coverage to the Servicer.
The hazard insurance policies for each Mortgage Loan secured by a
unit in a condominium development or planned unit development shall be
maintained with respect to such Mortgage Loan and the related development in a
manner which is consistent with FNMA requirements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may maintain a blanket
policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgaged Properties
relating to the Mortgage Loans in lieu of maintaining the required hazard
insurance policies for each Mortgage Loan and may maintain a blanket policy
insuring against special flood hazards in lieu of maintaining any required flood
insurance. Any such blanket policies shall (A) be consistent with prudent
industry standards, (B) name the Servicer as loss payee, (C) provide coverage in
an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal balance on the related
Mortgage Loans without co-insurance, and (D) otherwise comply with the
requirements of this Section 3.12. Any such blanket policy may contain a
deductible clause; provided that if any Mortgaged Property is not covered by a
separate policy otherwise complying with this Section 3.12 and a loss occurs
with respect to such Mortgaged Property which loss would have been covered by
such a policy, the Servicer shall deposit in the Servicer Custodial Account the
difference, if any, between the amount that would have been payable under a
separate policy complying with this Section 3.12 and the amount paid under such
blanket policy.
Section 3.13 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.13, when any
Mortgaged Property subject to a Mortgage has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the
Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, to the extent that it has actual
knowledge of such conveyance, to 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, the Servicer is not required to exercise such
rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan if the Person to whom the related
Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed satisfies the
terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Note and Mortgage related thereto
and the consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not
otherwise required under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage as a condition to such
transfer. If (i) the Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such
due-on-sale clause, (ii) coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be
adversely affected, (iii) the Mortgage Note does not include a due-on-sale
clause or (iv) nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Servicer is
authorized, subject to Section 3.13(b), to take or enter into an assumption and
modification agreement from or with the Person to whom such Mortgaged Property
has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law,
the Mortgagor remains liable thereon; provided that the Mortgage Loan shall
continue to be covered (if so covered before the Servicer enters such agreement)
by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Servicer, subject to Section
3.13(b), is also authorized with the prior approval of the insurers under any
Required Insurance Policies to enter into a substitution of liability agreement
with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from
liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under
the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be
deemed to be in default under this Section 3.13 by reason of any transfer or
assumption which the Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from
preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
(b) Subject to the 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 has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to
enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to
the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that 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 Servicer shall prepare and
deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and
shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute 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.
In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for executing any document under
this Section 3.13 at the direction of the Servicer. In connection with any such
assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. In addition,
the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to the
Servicer in accordance with its underwriting standards as then in effect.
Together with each such substitution, assumption or other agreement or
instrument delivered to the Trustee for execution by it, the Servicer shall
deliver an Officer's Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the
requirements of this subsection have been met. The Servicer shall notify the
Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by
forwarding to the Trustee (or at the direction of the Trustee, the Custodian)
the original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the case of
the original shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all
purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all
other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected
by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement may be retained by the Servicer as additional master servicing
compensation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permissible under
applicable law and at the request of the Servicer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Servicer any powers of attorney and other documents prepared by
the Servicer that are reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer
to execute any assumption agreement or modification agreement required to be
executed by the Trustee under this Section 3.13.
Section 3.14 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; REO
Property.
(a) The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged 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. In
connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow
Customary Servicing Procedures and shall meet the requirements of the insurer
under any Required Insurance Policy; provided, however, that the Servicer may
enter into a special servicing agreement with an unaffiliated Holder of 100%
Percentage Interest of a Class of Class B Certificates or a holder of a class of
securities representing interests in the Class B Certificates alone or together
with other subordinated mortgage pass-through certificates. Such agreement shall
be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K or subject to each
Rating Agency's acknowledgment that the ratings of the Certificates in effect
immediately prior to the entering into such agreement would not be qualified,
downgraded or withdrawn and the Certificates would not be placed on credit
review status (except for possible upgrading) as a result of such agreement. Any
such agreement may contain provisions whereby such holder may instruct the
Servicer to commence or delay foreclosure proceedings with respect to delinquent
Mortgage Loans and will contain provisions for the deposit of cash by the holder
that would be available for distribution to Certificateholders if Liquidation
Proceeds are less than they otherwise may have been had the Servicer acted in
accordance with its normal procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any
foreclosure or towards the restoration of any Mortgaged Property unless it shall
determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the
proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of
such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through
proceeds of the liquidation of the Mortgage Loan (respecting which it shall have
priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Servicer Custodial Account). Any
such expenditures shall constitute Servicing Advances for purposes of this
Agreement.
The decision of the Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage
Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Servicer that the proceeds of
such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a
proceeding.
With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale
shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The
Trustee's name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the
Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Servicer shall ensure
that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement and the Trustee's
capacity hereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the
Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer
manage, conserve, protect and operate such REO Property in the same manner that
it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its
own account and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as
the REO Property is managed. Incident to its conservation and protection of the
interests of the Certificateholders, the Servicer may rent the same, or any part
thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the
Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The
Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the Trustee a statement with respect
to each REO Property that has been rented, if any, showing the aggregate rental
income received and all expenses incurred in connection with the management and
maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the
Trustee to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions;
provided, however, that the Servicer shall have no duty to rent any REO Property
on behalf of the Trust. The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO
Property shall be deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account no later than the
close of business on each Determination Date. The Servicer shall perform, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, the tax reporting and withholding required by
Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to foreclosures and
abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section 6050H of the Code with
respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals and, if required by
Section 6050P of the Code with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by
certain financial entities, by preparing such tax and information returns as may
be required, in the form required. The Servicer shall deliver copies of such
reports to the Trustee.
If the Trust acquires any Mortgaged Property as described above or
otherwise in connection with a default or a default which is reasonably
foreseeable on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged
Property prior to the end of the third calendar year following the year of its
acquisition by the Trust (such period, the "REO Disposition Period") unless (A)
the Trustee shall have been supplied by the Servicer with an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such Mortgaged Property
subsequent to the REO Disposition Period will not result in the imposition of
taxes on "prohibited transactions" (as defined in Section 860F of the Code) on
either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or cause either REMIC to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, or
(B) the Trustee (at the Servicer's expense) or the Servicer shall have applied
for, prior to the expiration of the REO Disposition Period, an extension of the
REO Disposition Period in the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the
Code. If such an Opinion of Counsel is provided or such an exemption is
obtained, the Trust may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any
conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel) for the applicable period.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property
acquired by the Trust shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or
otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust in such
a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property
to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject either REMIC to the imposition of any
federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged
Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Servicer has
agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust with respect to the imposition
of any such taxes. The Servicer shall identify to the Trustee any Mortgaged
Property relating to a Mortgage Loan held by the Trust for 30 months for which
no plans to dispose of such Mortgaged Property by the Servicer have been made.
After delivery of such identification, the Servicer shall proceed to dispose of
any such Mortgaged Property by holding a commercially reasonable auction for
such property.
The income earned from the management of any REO Properties, net of
reimbursement to the Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or
other taxes) in connection with such management and net of unreimbursed
Servicing Fees, Periodic Advances and Servicing Advances, shall be applied to
the payment of principal of and interest on the related defaulted Mortgage Loans
(solely for the purposes of allocating principal and interest, interest shall be
treated as accruing as though such Mortgage Loans were still current) and all
such income shall be deemed, for all purposes in this Agreement, to be payments
on account of principal and interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be
deposited into the Servicer Custodial Account. To the extent the net income
received during any calendar month is in excess of the amount attributable to
amortizing principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate
on the related Mortgage Loan for such calendar month, such excess shall be
considered to be a partial prepayment of principal of the related Mortgage Loan.
The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any
income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority:
first, to reimburse the Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances
and Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Servicer for any unreimbursed
Periodic Advances and to reimburse the Servicer Custodial Account for any
Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that were previously withdrawn by
the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii) that related to such Mortgage
Loan; third, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Periodic Advance
has been made for such amount or any such Periodic Advance has been reimbursed)
on the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the Mortgage Rate to the Due
Date occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be
distributed; and fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess
Proceeds, if any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be
retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to
Section 3.17.
(b) The Servicer shall promptly notify the Depositor of any Mortgage
Loan which comes into default. The Depositor shall be entitled, at its option,
to repurchase (i) any such defaulted Mortgage Loan from the Trust Estate if (a)
in the Depositor's judgment, the default is not likely to be cured by the
Mortgagor and (b) such Mortgage Loan is 180 days or more delinquent or (ii) any
Mortgage Loan in the Trust Estate which pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement the Seller requests the Depositor to repurchase and to
sell to the Seller to facilitate the exercise of the Seller's rights against the
originator or prior holder of such Mortgage Loan. The purchase price for any
such Mortgage Loan shall be 100% of the unpaid principal balance of such
Mortgage Loan plus accrued interest thereon at the Mortgage Interest Rate (less
the Servicing Fee Rate for such Mortgage Loan) through the last day of the month
in which such repurchase occurs. Upon the receipt of such purchase price, the
Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the notification required by Section 3.15
and the Trustee or the Custodian shall promptly release to the Depositor the
Mortgage File relating to the Mortgage Loan being repurchased.
Section 3.15 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee
(or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Custodian) by delivering, or causing
to be delivered, two copies (one of which will be returned to the Servicer with
the Mortgage File) of a Request for Release (which may be delivered in an
electronic format acceptable to the Trustee and the Servicer). Upon receipt of
such request, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, shall within seven
Business Days release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer. The Trustee
shall at the Servicer's direction execute and deliver to the Servicer the
request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of
mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage, in each case
provided by the Servicer, together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence
of cancellation thereon. If the Mortgage has been recorded in the name of MERS
or its designee, the Servicer shall take all necessary action to reflect the
release of the Mortgage on the records of MERS. Expenses incurred in connection
with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable
to the related Mortgagor. From time to time and as shall be appropriate for the
servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose
collection under any policy of flood insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or
omissions policy, or for the purposes of effecting a partial release of any
Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the making of any
corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the other documents
included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable,
shall, upon delivery to the Trustee (or, at the direction of the Trustee, the
Custodian) of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer, release the
Mortgage File within seven Business Days to the Servicer. Subject to the further
limitations set forth below, the Servicer shall cause the Mortgage File so
released to be returned to the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, when the
need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is
liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the Servicer Custodial
Account, in which case the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee or the
Custodian, as applicable, a Request for Release, signed by a Servicing Officer.
The Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer any powers of
attorney and other documents prepared by the Servicer that are reasonably
necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties under this Agreement, upon the request of the Servicer. In
addition, upon prepayment in full of any Mortgage Loan or the receipt of notice
that funds for such purpose have been placed in escrow, the Servicer is
authorized to give, as attorney-in-fact for the Trustee and the mortgagee under
the Mortgage, an instrument of satisfaction (or Assignment of Mortgage without
recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property relating to such Mortgage Loan, which
instrument of satisfaction or Assignment of Mortgage, as the case may be, shall
be delivered to the Person entitled thereto against receipt of the prepayment in
full. If the Mortgage is registered in the name of MERS or its designee, the
Servicer shall take all necessary action to reflect the release on the records
of MERS. In lieu of executing such satisfaction or Assignment of Mortgage, or if
another document is required to be executed by the Trustee, the Servicer may
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for signature, as appropriate,
any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other documents necessary to
effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action brought to obtain judgment
against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or to obtain a
deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity.
Section 3.16 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the
Servicer to be Held for the Trustee.
The Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee or, at the direction of
the Trustee, the Custodian as required by this Agreement all documents and
instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the possession of the
Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds
received by the Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the Servicer as
Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan. The
documents constituting the Servicing File shall be held by the Servicer as
custodian and bailee for the Trustee. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or
held by, or under the control of, the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans,
whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from
Liquidation Proceeds, including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in the
Servicer Custodial Account, shall be held by the Servicer for and on behalf of
the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the
Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer
also agrees that it shall not knowingly create, incur or subject any Mortgage
File or any funds that are deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account,
Certificate Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or
may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ
of attachment or other encumbrance created by the Servicer, or assert by legal
action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or
any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however,
that the Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such
funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Servicer under this
Agreement.
Section 3.17 Servicing Compensation.
The Servicer shall be entitled out of each payment of interest on a
Mortgage Loan (or portion thereof) and included in the Trust Estate to retain or
withdraw from the Servicer Custodial Account an amount equal to the Servicing
Fee for such Distribution Date. Any successor Servicer shall also be entitled to
the Supplemental Servicing Fee.
Any additional Servicing Compensation shall be retained by the
Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Servicer Custodial
Account pursuant to Section 3.08(b). The Servicer shall be required to pay all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder
and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically
provided in this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicing Compensation for the
Servicer relating to the Mortgage Loans for such Distribution Date shall be
reduced (but not below zero) by amount equal to the Servicer Compensating
Interest.
Section 3.18 Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and each Rating Agency on
or before the 30th day (or if not a Business Day, the immediately preceding
Business Day) preceding the latest day in each year on which an annual report on
Form 10-K may be timely filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(without regard to any extension), an Officer's Certificate stating, as to the
signer thereof, that (a) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the
preceding calendar year and of the performance of the Servicer under this
Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision, and (b) to the best of
such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all
its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been
a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such
default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.
Section 3.19 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Statement; Financial Statements.
The Servicer shall, at its own expense, on or before the 30th day
(or if not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) preceding the
latest day in each year on which an annual report on Form 10-K may be timely
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (without regard to any
extension), cause a firm of independent public accountants (who may also render
other services to the Servicer or any affiliate thereof) which is a member of
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to
the Trustee to the effect that such firm has with respect to the Servicer's
overall servicing operations, examined such operations in accordance with the
requirements of the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers,
stating such firm's conclusions relating thereto.
Section 3.20 Advances.
The Servicer shall determine on or before each Servicer Advance Date
whether it is required to make a Periodic Advance pursuant to the definition
thereof. If the Servicer determines it is required to make a Periodic Advance,
it shall, on or before the Servicer Advance Date, either (a) deposit into the
Servicer Custodial Account an amount equal to the Advance and/or (b) make an
appropriate entry in its records relating to the Servicer Custodial Account that
any portion of the Amount Held for Future Distribution in the Servicer Custodial
Account has been used by the Servicer in discharge of its obligation to make any
such Periodic Advance. Any funds so applied shall be replaced by the Servicer by
deposit in the Servicer Custodial Account no later than the close of business on
the Business Day preceding the next Servicer Advance Date. The Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed from the Servicer Custodial Account for all Advances
of its own funds made pursuant to this Section 3.20 as provided in Section
3.11(a). The obligation to make Periodic Advances with respect to any Mortgage
Loan shall continue until the ultimate disposition of the REO Property or
Mortgaged Property relating to such Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall inform the
Trustee of the amount of the Periodic Advance to be made by the Servicer on each
Servicer Advance Date no later than the related Remittance Date.
The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee on the related Servicer
Advance Date an Officer's Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the
amount of any proposed Periodic Advance determined by the Servicer to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Servicer
shall not be required to make any Periodic Advance or Servicing Advance that
would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
Section 3.21 Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents.
(a) Subject to this Section 3.21, the Servicer may agree to any
modification, waiver, forbearance, or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan
without the consent of the Trustee or any Certificateholder. All modifications,
waivers, forbearances or amendments of any Mortgage Loan shall be in writing and
shall be consistent with Customary Servicing Procedures.
(b) The Servicer shall not agree to enter into, and shall not enter
into, any modification, waiver (other than a waiver referred to in Section 3.13,
which waiver, if any, shall be governed by Section 3.13), forbearance or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan if such modification, waiver,
forbearance, or amendment would:
(i) affect the amount or timing of any related payment of principal,
interest or other amount payable thereunder;
(ii) in the Servicer's judgment, materially impair the security for
such Mortgage Loan or reduce the likelihood of timely payment of amounts
due thereon; or
(iii) otherwise constitute a "significant modification" within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b);
unless, in either case, (A) such Mortgage Loan is 90 days or more past due or
(B) the Servicer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that such modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment would not affect the
REMIC status of either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC and, in
either case, such modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment is reasonably
likely to produce a greater recovery with respect to such Mortgage Loan than
would liquidation. Subject to Customary Servicing Procedures, the Servicer may
permit a forbearance for a Mortgage Loan which in the Servicer's judgment is
subject to imminent default.
(c) Any payment of interest, which is deferred pursuant to any
modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment permitted hereunder, shall not,
for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, calculating monthly
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of
the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan
or such modification, waiver or amendment so permit.
(d) The Servicer may, as a condition to granting any request by a
Mortgagor for consent, modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment, the
granting of which is within the Servicer's discretion pursuant to the Mortgage
Loan and is permitted by the terms of this Agreement, require that such
Mortgagor pay to the Servicer, as additional servicing compensation, a
reasonable or customary fee for the additional services performed in connection
with such request, together with any related costs and expenses incurred by the
Servicer, which amount shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing
compensation.
(e) The Servicer shall notify the Trustee, in writing, of any
modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan
and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Trustee (or, at the direction of
the Trustee, the Custodian) for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an
original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver,
forbearance or amendment, promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days)
following the execution thereof; provided, however, that if any such
modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment is required by applicable law to
be recorded, the Servicer (i) shall deliver to the Trustee a copy thereof and
(ii) shall deliver to the Trustee such document, with evidence of notification
upon receipt thereof from the public recording office.
Section 3.22 Reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(a) The Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the
Depositor in connection with the Trust's satisfying its reporting requirements
under the Exchange Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any monthly Current Reports on Form
8-K (each, a "Monthly Form 8-K") and Annual Reports on Form 10-K (each, a "Form
10-K") customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and
the Trustee shall sign and file (via the Securities and Exchange Commission's
Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such Forms on behalf of the
Trust. In the event the Depositor is signing the Certification described in
paragraph (b) of this Section 3.22, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a
limited power of attorney to execute and file each such Form 10-K on behalf of
the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until either the earlier of
(i) receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination of such
power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event the Securities and Exchange Commission does not accept a
Certification signed by the Depositor where the related Form 10-K is signed by
the Trustee on behalf of the Depositor, the Trustee shall prepare such Form 10-K
to be signed by the Depositor and the Depositor shall sign such Form 10-K.
(b) Each Monthly Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15
days after each Distribution Date, including a copy of the monthly statement to
Certificateholders delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(b) (each, a "Distribution
Date Statement") for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to
March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission),
the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law
or applicable Securities and Exchange Commission staff's interpretations. Such
Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Servicer's annual statement of
compliance described under Section 3.18 and the accountant's report described
under Section 3.19, in each case, to the extent they have been timely delivered
to the Trustee. If they are not so timely delivered, the Trustee shall file an
amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after
they are delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability with
respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports
resulting from or relating to the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain any
information not resulting from its own negligence, willful misconduct or bad
faith. The Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit O (the "Certification"), which shall be signed by a senior
officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization or a senior officer of the
Servicer in charge of the servicing function. The Depositor or the Servicer, as
the case may be, shall deliver the Certification to the Trustee three (3)
Business Days prior to the latest date on which the Form 10-K may be timely
filed. The Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate to
enable the Securities and Exchange Commission requirements with respect to the
Trust to be met in the event that the Securities and Exchange Commission issues
additional interpretive guidelines or promulgates rules or regulations, or in
the event of any other change of law that would require reporting arrangements
or the allocation of responsibilities with respect thereto, as described in this
Section 3.22, to be conducted or allocated in a different manner.
(c) Prior to the latest date on which the Form 10-K may be timely
filed each year, the Trustee shall sign and deliver to the Depositor (or the
Servicer, if the Servicer signs the Certification) a certification (in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit P) for the benefit of the Depositor (or the Servicer,
as the case may be) and its officers, directors and Affiliates (provided,
however, that the Trustee shall not undertake an analysis of the accountant's
report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K). In addition, the Trustee shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor or the Servicer (whichever signs the
Certification), and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or
based upon any inaccuracy in the certification provided by the Trustee pursuant
to this Section 3.22(c), any breach of the Trustee's obligations under this
Section 3.22(c) or the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in
connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable
or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor or the Servicer (whichever signs
the Certification) and its officers, directors and affiliates, then the Trustee
agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor
or the Servicer (whichever signs the Certification), its officers, directors or
affiliates as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the
Depositor or the Servicer (whichever signs the Certification), its officers,
directors or affiliates in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Depositor or the Servicer (whichever signs the
Certification) and its officers, directors and affiliates on the one hand and
the Trustee on the other in connection with a breach of the Trustee's
obligations under this Section 3.22(c) or the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct in connection therewith. The Servicer hereby acknowledges and
agrees that the Depositor and the Trustee are relying on the Servicer's
performance of its obligations under Sections 3.18 and 3.19 in order to perform
their respective obligations under this Section 3.22.
(d) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any such executed
report, statement or information.
(e) The obligations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this
Section shall only apply with respect to periods for which the Trustee is
obligated to file reports on Form 8-K or 10-K pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section. Upon request of the Depositor, the Trustee shall prepare, execute and
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 15 Suspension
Notification with respect to the Trust, and thereafter there shall be no further
obligations under paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section commencing with the
fiscal year in which the Form 15 is filed (other than the obligations to be
performed in such fiscal year that relate back to the prior fiscal year).
Section 3.23 Indemnification; Pledge of Class SES Certificates. (a)
In addition to any expenses payable by it pursuant to Section 8.01 in connection
with a Servicing Transfer, Bank of America hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Trust against any other costs, in an amount up to the Supplemental
Servicing Fee, associated with the retention of a successor to Bank of America
as Servicer in the event of Bank of America's resignation or termination as
Servicer, and, in order to secure this indemnification, Bank of America hereby
grants to the Trustee, on behalf of Certificateholders, a security interest in
the Class SES Certificates, and any substitute collateral reasonably acceptable
to each Rating Agency and pledged to the Trustee in substitution therefor, in
accordance with Section 3.23(b) (the term "Collateral" shall include the Class
SES Certificates and any such substitute collateral; the term "Substitute
Collateral" shall only refer to such substitute collateral). In connection with
such pledge, Bank of America shall deliver to the Trustee the Class SES
Certificates, together with an assignment in blank, executed by Bank of America,
and shall, from time to time upon the request of the Trustee, execute such other
instruments and take such other actions as the Trustee may request to perfect or
maintain the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted
hereby.
(b) Bank of America shall have the right to substitute Substitute
Collateral at any time for the Class SES Certificates. If collateral other than
the Class SES Certificates is substituted by Bank of America, the perfection of
the Trustee's security interest in the Substitute Collateral shall be governed
by the terms of the instrument effecting the substitution. Any such substitution
of Substitute Collateral for the Class SES Certificates may be made only if Bank
of America delivers to the Trustee and each Rating Agency an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that the Trustee will have a perfected security interest in such
Substitute Collateral and obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that
such substitution will not result in a downgrading or withdrawal of the
respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates. Any Substitute Collateral
or proceeds consisting of cash shall be held by the Trustee in a segregated
trust account for the benefit of the Trust and invested in Permitted Investments
and applied to make payments of the Supplemental Servicing Fee. Following any
such substitution, the lien of the Trustee in the Class SES Certificates shall
be terminated, the Class SES Certificates shall no longer constitute Collateral
under this Agreement, and the Trustee shall promptly deliver the Class SES
Certificates as directed by Bank of America. In the event that Bank of America
sells its interest in the Class SES Certificates, Bank of America shall provide
Substitute Collateral complying with the requirements of this Section 3.23(b).
(c) If Bank of America resigns or is terminated as Servicer in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement the Trustee shall either (i)
transfer to itself as Trustee, and register in its or its nominee's name, any
Collateral then pledged to the Trustee, and use all distributions received in
respect of the Collateral to effect the payment of the Supplemental Servicing
Fee to any successor Servicer on any Distribution Date or (ii) sell, transfer,
assign or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part of any Collateral
pledged hereunder, in each case in one or more parcels or blocks at the same or
different times, applying the proceeds actually received therefrom (after
deduction of costs and expenses thereof) to the purchase of an alternative cash
flow instrument or security in an amount sufficient to make provision for the
payment of the Supplemental Servicing Fee to the successor Servicer on each
Distribution Date and the Trustee shall pay to the Successor Servicer from
amounts received by the Trustee or such alternative cash flow instrument or
security. The Trustee shall give Bank of America not less than ten days prior
written notice of the time and place of any public sale or other intended public
disposition of any Collateral, and not less than ten days prior written notice
of the date on which the Trustee may conduct any private sale or other intended
private disposition of any Collateral. Bank of America agrees that such notice,
where required, constitutes "reasonable notification" within the meaning of
Section 9-612 or relevant successor provision of the Uniform Commercial Code, as
in effect in the State of New York.
(d) All distributions received by the Trustee in respect of the
Collateral prior to the date on which Bank of America resigns or is terminated
as Servicer shall be remitted by the Trustee to Bank of America on the date
received by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account
designated in writing by Bank of America. Any such distributions received on or
after the date on which Bank of America resigns or is terminated as Servicer
shall be retained by the Trustee as additional Collateral and shall be disposed
of in accordance with Section 3.23(c) above.
(e) In the event that the Trustee exercises the remedy set forth in
Section 3.23(c)(i) above, the Trustee shall remit to Bank of America, on each
Distribution Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the excess,
if any, of (i) all amounts received by the Trustee in respect of the Collateral
subsequent to the immediately preceding Distribution Date and on or prior to the
current Distribution Date over (ii) the amount of the Supplemental Servicing Fee
payable to the successor Servicer on such Distribution Date. In the event that
the Trustee exercises the remedy described in Section 3.23(c)(ii) above, the
Trustee shall promptly remit to Bank of America, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, the excess, if any, of the net proceeds received by the Trustee
upon the sale of other disposition of the Collateral, over the cost of any
instrument or security acquired with such proceeds.
(f) Bank of America's liability hereunder shall be payable solely
from the cash flow received in respect of any Collateral or any instrument or
security acquired by the Trustee with the proceeds of disposition of any
Collateral. In no event shall Bank of America be liable to the Trustee,
Certificateholders or any successor Servicer for the amount of any shortfall in
the event that the cash flow received in respect of any Collateral or any
instrument or security acquired by the Trustee with the proceeds of disposition
of any Collateral shall be insufficient to pay the Supplemental Servicing Fee on
any Distribution Date.
(g) Any sale of the Class SES Certificates pursuant to Section
3.23(c)(ii), shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in
Section 6.02(d) and (e).
(h) In connection with the pledge of the Class SES Certificates to
the Trustee, on behalf of Certificateholders, Bank of America represents and
warrants to the Trustee as of the date hereof as follows:
(i) This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest
(as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) in the Class SES
Certificates in favor of the Trustee, which security interest is prior to
all other liens, mortgages, pledges, charges, encumbrances, adverse claims
or other security interests, and is enforceable as such against creditors
of and purchasers from Bank of America.
(ii) The Class SES Certificates constitute "certificated securities"
within the meaning of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code.
(iii) Bank of America owns and has good and marketable title to the
Class SES Certificates free and clear of any Person.
(iv) All original executed copies of each physical certificate that
constitute or evidence the Class SES Certificates have been delivered to
the Trustee. Each such physical certificate either (i) is in bearer form,
(ii) has been indorsed, by an effective indorsement, to the Trustee or in
blank or (iii) has been registered in the name of the Trustee.
(v) Other than the security interest granted to the Trustee pursuant
to this Agreement, Bank of America has not pledged, assigned, sold,
granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Class SES
Certificates. Bank of America has not authorized the filing of and is not
aware of any financing statements against Bank of America that include a
description of collateral covering the Class SES Certificates other than
any financing statement that has been terminated. Bank of America is not
aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against Bank of America.
(vi) None of the physical certificates that constitute or evidence
the Class SES Certificates have any marks or notations indicating that
they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other
than the Trustee.
The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 3.23(h)
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
No failure of the Trustee to exercise, and no delay by the Trustee
in exercising any right arising from a breach of any representation or warranty
set forth in this Section 3.23(h) shall operate as a waiver thereof.
Bank of America will from time to time take any action as may be
necessary or desirable to maintain or preserve the perfected first lien security
interest in the Class SES Certificates granted to the Trustee under this
Agreement.

PAYMENTS AND STATEMENTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS;
REMIC ADMINISTRATION
Section 5.01 Distributions. On each Distribution Date, based solely
on the information in the Servicer's Certificate, the Trustee shall distribute
or be deemed to distribute, as applicable, out of the Upper-Tier Certificate
Sub-Account or Certificate Account, as applicable (to the extent funds are
available therein) to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record
Date (other than as provided in Section 10.01 respecting the final distribution)
(a) by check mailed to such Certificateholder entitled to receive a distribution
on such Distribution Date at the address appearing in the Certificate Register,
or (b) upon written request by the Holder of a Regular Certificate, by wire
transfer or by such other means of payment as such Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall agree upon, such Certificateholder's Percentage Interest in the
amount to which the related Class of Certificates is entitled in accordance with
the priorities set forth below in Section 5.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the distribution to the Holders of the Class SES Certificates shall be reduced
by the amount of the Class SES Compensating Interest for such Distribution Date.
None of the Holders of any Class of Certificates, the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Trustee shall in any way be responsible or liable to Holders of
any Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously distributed
on any such Class.
Amounts distributed with respect to any Class of Certificates (other
than any Ancillary Income distributed with respect to the Class SES
Certificates) shall be applied first to the distribution of interest thereon and
then to principal thereon.
Section 5.02 Priorities of Distributions.
(a) On each Distribution Date, based solely on the information
contained in the Servicer's Certificate, the Trustee shall withdraw from the
Certificate Account (to the extent funds are available therein) (1) the amounts
payable to the Trustee pursuant to Sections 3.11(b)(i) and 3.11(b)(ii) and shall
pay such funds to itself, and (2) the Pool Distribution Amount, in an amount as
specified in written notice received by the Trustee from the Servicer no later
than the Business Day following the related Determination Date, and shall apply
such funds, first, to distributions in respect of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier
Interests as specified in this Section 5.02(a) for a deemed deposit in the
Upper-Tier Certificate Sub-Account. Distributions shall be made on the
Certificates in the following order of priority and to the extent of such funds:
(i) to the Class SES Certificates, an amount allocable to interest
equal to the Interest Distribution for such Class;
(ii) to each Class of Senior Certificates (other than the Class A-PO
and Class SES Certificates), an amount allocable to interest equal to the
Interest Distribution Amount for such Class and any shortfall being
allocated among such Classes in proportion to the amount of the Interest
Distribution Amount that would have been distributed in the absence of
such shortfall; provided, however, that until the applicable Accretion
Termination Date, amounts that would have been distributed pursuant to
this clause to the Class A-4 Certificates will instead be distributed in
reduction of the Class Certificate Balances of the Classes of Certificates
specified in Section 5.02(b)(i) and (ii);
(iii) concurrently to the Class A Certificates (other than the Class
A-PO Certificates) and the Class A-PO Certificates, pro rata, based on
their respective Senior Principal Distribution Amount and PO Principal
Amount, (A) to the Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-PO
Certificates), in an aggregate amount up to the Senior Principal
Distribution Amount, such distribution to be allocated among such Classes
in accordance with Section 5.02(b) and (B) to the Class A-PO Certificates
in an aggregate amount up to the PO Principal Amount;
(iv) to the Class A-PO Certificates, any Class A-PO Deferred Amount,
up to the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution
Date from amounts otherwise distributable first to the Class B-6
Certificates pursuant to clause (v)(L) below, second to the Class B-5
Certificates pursuant to clause (v)(J) below, third to the Class B-4
Certificates pursuant to clause (v)(H) below, fourth to the Class B-3

Certificates pursuant to clause (v)(D) below and finally to the Class B-1
Certificates pursuant to clause (v)(B) below;
(v) to each Class of Subordinate Certificates, subject to paragraph
(d) below, in the following order of priority:
(A) to the Class B-1 Certificates, an amount allocable to
interest equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class
for such Distribution Date;
(B) to the Class B-1 Certificates, an amount allocable to
principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date
less any amount used to pay the Class A-PO Deferred Amount pursuant
to clause (iv) above until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero;
(C) to the Class B-2 Certificates, an amount allocable to
interest equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class
for such Distribution Date;
(D) to the Class B-2 Certificates, an amount allocable to
principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date
less any amount used to pay the Class A-PO Deferred Amount pursuant
to clause (iv) above until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero;
(E) to the Class B-3 Certificates, an amount allocable to
interest equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class
for such Distribution Date;
(F) to the Class B-3 Certificates, an amount allocable to
principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date
less any amount used to pay the Class A-PO Deferred Amount pursuant
to clause (iv) above until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero;
(G) to the Class B-4 Certificates, an amount allocable to
interest equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class
for such Distribution Date;
(H) to the Class B-4 Certificates, an amount allocable to
principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date
less any amount used to pay the Class A-PO Deferred Amount pursuant
to clause (iv) above until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero;
(I) to the Class B-5 Certificates, an amount allocable to
interest equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class
for such Distribution Date;
(J) to the Class B-5 Certificates, an amount allocable to
principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date
less any amount used to pay the Class A-PO Deferred Amount pursuant
to clause (iv) above until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero;
(K) to the Class B-6 Certificates, an amount allocable to
interest equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class
for such Distribution Date; and
(L) to the Class B-6 Certificates, an amount allocable to
principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date
less any amount used to pay the Class A-PO Deferred Amount pursuant
to clause (iv) above until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero; and
(vi) to the Holder of the Class A-LR Certificate, any remaining Pool
Distribution Amount.
On any Distribution Date, amounts distributed in respect of Class
A-PO Deferred Amounts will not reduce the Class Certificate Balance of the Class
A-PO Certificates.
All distributions in respect of the Interest Distribution Amount for
a Class will be applied first with respect to the amount payable pursuant to
clause (i) of the definition of "Interest Distribution Amount," and second with
respect to the amount payable pursuant to clause (ii) of such definition.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee, subject to Section 5.01,
shall distribute to the Holders of the Class SES Certificates, any Ancillary
Income not used as Compensating Interest, which shall be treated as paid outside
the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute any
Reimbursement Amount sequentially to the Classes of Certificates then
outstanding which bore the loss to which such Reimbursement Amount relates
beginning with the most senior of such Classes, up to, with respect to each
Class, the amount of loss borne by such Class. Any Reimbursement Amount
remaining after the application described in the preceding sentence shall be
included in the Pool Distribution Amount.
On each Distribution Date, each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest
(other than the Class A-LWIO Interest and Class LSES Interest) shall receive
distributions in respect of principal in an amount equal to the amount of
principal distributed to their respective Corresponding Upper-Tier Class or
Classes as provided herein. On each Distribution Date, each Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interest (other than the Class A-LPO Interest) shall receive
distributions in respect of interest in an amount equal to the Interest
Distribution Amounts in respect of its Corresponding Upper-Tier Class or
Classes, in each case to the extent actually distributed thereon. Such amounts
distributed to the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests in respect of principal
and interest with respect to any Distribution Date are referred to herein
collectively as the "Lower-Tier Distribution Amount."
As of any date, the principal balance or notional amount of each
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest equals the aggregate of the Class Certificate
Balances or Notional Amounts of the respective Corresponding Upper-Tier Class or
Classes. The initial principal balance or notional amount of each Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interest equals the aggregate of the Initial Class Certificate
Balances or Initial Notional Amounts of the respective Corresponding Upper-Tier
Class or Classes.
The pass-through rate with respect to the Class A-L4 Interest, Class
A-LUR Interest, Class B-L1 Interest, Class B-L2 Interest, Class B-L3 Interest,
Class B-L4 Interest, Class B-L5 Interest and Class B-L6 Interest shall be 5.750%
per annum. The pass-through rate with respect to the Class A-L1 Interest shall
be 5.500% per annum. The pass-through rate with respect to the Class A-L2
Interest shall be 8.500% per annum. The pass-through rate with respect to the
Class A-LWIO Interest shall be a per annum rate equal to (i) the weighted
average of the Net Mortgage Interest Rates of the Premium Mortgage Loans (based
on the Stated Principal Balance of the Premium Mortgage Loans on the Due Date in
the month preceding the month of such Distribution Date minus (ii) 5.750%. The
pass-through rate with respect to the Class LSES Interest shall be 0.200% per
annum. The Class A-LPO Interest is a principal-only interest and is not entitled
to distributions of interest. Except in the case of the Class LSES Interest, any
Non-Supported Interest Shortfalls will be allocated to each Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interest in the same relative proportions as interest is allocated to
such Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest.
(b) (i) On each Distribution Date occurring prior to the Accretion
Termination Date, based solely on the information contained in the Servicer's
Certificate, the Accrual Distribution Amount will be allocated sequentially as
follows:
first, concurrently, to the Class A-1 and Class A-2
Certificates, pro rata, until their Class Certificate Balances have
been reduced to zero; and
second, to the Class A-4 Certificates, until their Class
Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero.
(ii) On each Distribution Date prior to the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, the amount distributable to the Class A Certificates (other than
the Class A-PO Certificates) pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(iii) for such
Distribution Date, will be distributed in the following order of priority:
first, concurrently, to the Class A-R and Class A-LR
Certificates, pro rata, until their Class Certificate Balances have
been reduced to zero;
second, to the Class A-5 Certificates, up to the Priority
Amount for such Distribution Date, until their Class Certificate
Balance has been reduced to zero;
third, concurrently, to the Class A-1 and Class A-2
Certificates, pro rata, until their Class Certificate Balances have
been reduced to zero; and
fourth, sequentially, to the Class A-4 and Class A-5
Certificates, in that order, until their Class Certificate Balances
have been reduced to zero.
On each Distribution Date on or after the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, notwithstanding the allocation and priority set forth above, the
portion of the Pool Distribution Amount available to be distributed as principal
of the Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-PO Certificates) shall be
distributed concurrently, as principal, on such Classes, pro rata, on the basis
of their respective Class Certificate Balances, until the Class Certificate
Balances thereof are reduced to zero.
(c) On each Distribution Date, Accrued Certificate Interest for each
Class of Certificates for such Distribution Date (other than the Class A-PO and
Class SES Certificates) shall be reduced by such Class' pro rata share, based on
such Class' Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, without
taking into account the allocation made by this Section 5.02(c), of (A)
Non-Supported Interest Shortfalls, (B) on and after the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, any other Realized Loss on the Mortgage Loans allocable to
interest and (C) Relief Act Reductions incurred on the Mortgage Loans during the
calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date.
(d) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation contained in Section
5.02(a)(v), if with respect to any Class of Subordinate Certificates on any
Distribution Date, (i) the aggregate of the Class Certificate Balances
immediately prior to such Distribution Date of all Classes of Subordinate
Certificates which have a higher numerical Class designation than such Class,
divided by (ii) the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of all the Certificates
(other than the Class A-PO Certificates) immediately prior to such Distribution
Date (the "Fractional Interest") is less than the Original Fractional Interest
for such Class, no distribution of principal will be made to any Classes junior
to such Class (the "Restricted Classes") and the Class Certificate Balances of
the Restricted Classes will not be used in determining the Pro Rata Share for
the Subordinate Certificates that are not Restricted Classes. If the aggregate
Class Certificate Balance of the Subordinate Certificates that are not
Restricted Classes is reduced to zero, notwithstanding the previous sentence,
any funds remaining will be distributed sequentially to the Restricted Classes
in order of their respective numerical Class designations (beginning with the
Class of Restricted Certificates then outstanding with the lowest numerical
Class designation).
Section 5.03 Allocation of Losses.
(a) On or prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall
inform the Trustee in writing with respect to each Mortgage Loan: (1) whether
any Realized Loss is a Deficient Valuation or a Debt Service Reduction, (2) of
the amount of such loss or Deficient Valuation, or of the terms of such Debt
Service Reduction and (3) of the total amount of Realized Losses. Based on such
information, the Trustee shall determine the total amount of Realized Losses
with respect to the related Distribution Date.
The principal portion of Realized Losses with respect to any
Distribution Date shall be allocated as follows:
(i) the applicable PO Percentage of the principal portion of any
Realized Loss with respect to a Discount Mortgage Loan shall be allocated
to the Class A-PO Certificates until the Class Certificate Balance thereof
is reduced to zero; and
(ii) the applicable Non-PO Percentage of the principal portion of
any Realized Loss shall be allocated first to the Subordinate Certificates
in reverse order of their respective numerical Class designations
(beginning with the Class of Subordinate Certificates then outstanding
with the highest numerical Class designation) until the respective Class
Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero, and second to
the Senior Certificates (other than the Class A-PO Certificates), pro
rata, on the basis of their respective Class Certificate Balances
immediately prior to the related Distribution Date, until the Class
Certificate Balances thereof have been reduced to zero (or, in the case of
the Class A-4 Certificates, the Initial Class Certificate Balance, if
lower); and
(b) The Class Certificate Balance of the Class A-PO Certificates
shall be reduced on each Distribution Date by the amount, if any, by which the
Class Certificate Balance of the Class A-PO Certificates (after giving effect to
the amount to be distributed as a distribution of principal and the allocation
of Realized Losses on such Distribution Date) exceeds the Adjusted Pool Amount
(PO Portion) for such Distribution Date.
The Class Certificate Balance of the Class of Subordinate
Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation shall
be reduced on each Distribution Date by the amount, if any, by which the
aggregate of the Class Certificate Balances of all outstanding Classes of
Certificates (after giving effect to the amount to be distributed as a
distribution of principal and the allocation of Realized Losses and Class A-PO
Deferred Amounts on such Distribution Date) exceeds the Adjusted Pool Amount for
such Distribution Date.
After the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, the Class
Certificate Balances of the Senior Certificates in the aggregate (other than the
Class Certificate Balance of the Class A-PO Certificates) shall be reduced on
each Distribution Date by the amount, if any, by which the aggregate of the
Class Certificate Balances of all outstanding Classes of Senior Certificates
(other than Class A-PO Certificates) (after giving effect to the amount to be
distributed as a distribution of principal and the allocation of Realized Losses
on such Distribution Date) exceeds the difference between (i) the Adjusted Pool
Amount for such Distribution Date and (ii) the Adjusted Pool Amount (PO Portion)
for such Distribution Date.
Any such reduction shall be allocated among the Senior Certificates
(other than the Class A-PO Certificates) based on the Class Certificate Balances
immediately prior to such Distribution Date or, in the case of the Class A-4
Certificates, the Initial Class Certificate Balance, if lower.
(c) Any Realized Loss allocated to a Class of Certificates or any
reduction in the Class Certificate Balance of a Class of Certificates pursuant
to Section 5.03(b) above shall be allocated among the Certificates of such Class
in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.
(d) The calculation of the amount to be distributed as principal to
any Class of Certificates with respect to a Distribution Date (the "Calculated
Principal Distribution") shall be made prior to the allocation of any Realized
Losses for such Distribution Date; provided, however, the actual payment of
principal to the Classes of Certificates shall be made subsequent to the
allocation of Realized Losses for such Distribution Date. In the event that
after the allocation of Realized Losses for a Distribution Date, the Calculated
Principal Distribution for a Class of Subordinate Certificates is greater than
the Class Certificate Balance of such Class, the excess shall be distributed
first, sequentially, to the Classes of Subordinate Certificates then outstanding
(beginning with the Class of Subordinate Certificates than outstanding with the
lowest numerical designation) until the respective Class Certificate Balance of
each such Class is reduced to zero and then to the Class A Certificates, pro
rata, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 5.02.
(e) With respect to any Distribution Date, Realized Losses allocated
pursuant to this Section 5.03 will be allocated to each Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interest in an amount equal to the amount allocated to its respective
Corresponding Upper-Tier Class or Classes as provided above.
Section 5.04 Statements to Certificateholders.
(a) Prior to the Distribution Date in each month, based upon the
information provided to the Trustee on the Servicer's Certificates delivered to

interest;
(iv) the Class Certificate Balance of each Class of Certificates
after giving effect to the distribution of principal on such Distribution

(xvii) the Class SES Compensating Interest for such Distribution
Date.
(b) No later than each Distribution Date, the Trustee, based upon
information supplied to it on the Servicer's Certificates, shall make available
to each Holder of a Certificate, each Rating Agency and the Servicer a statement
setting forth the information set forth in Section 5.04(a).
In the case of information furnished pursuant to clauses (i), (ii)
and (ix) of Section 5.04(a), the amounts shall be expressed as a dollar amount
per Certificate with a $1,000 denomination.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall prepare and furnish to
each Financial Market Service, in electronic or such other format and media
mutually agreed upon by the Trustee, the Financial Market Service and the
Depositor, the information contained in the statement described in Section
5.04(a) for such Distribution Date.
The Trustee will make the monthly statement to Certificateholders
(and, at its option, any additional files containing the same information in an
alternative format) available each month to Certificateholders, and other
parties to this Agreement via the Trustee's Internet website. The Trustee's
Internet website shall initially be located at "xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx." Assistance in
using the website can be obtained by calling the Trustee's customer service desk
at (000) 000-0000. Parties that are unable to use the website are entitled to
have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the customer
service desk and indicating such. The Trustee shall have the right to change the
way the monthly statements to Certificateholders are distributed in order to
make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above
parties and the Trustee shall provide timely and adequate notification to all
above parties regarding any such changes.
Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar
year, the Trustee shall furnish to each Person who at any time during the
calendar year was the Holder of a Certificate, if requested in writing by such
Person, a statement containing the information set forth in clauses (i) and (ii)
of Section 5.04(a), in each case aggregated for such calendar year or applicable
portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such
obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent
that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Trustee
pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time in force.
The Trustee shall deliver to the Holders of Certificates any reports
or information the Trustee is required by this Agreement or the Code, Treasury
Regulations or REMIC Provisions to deliver to the Holders of Certificates, and
the Trustee shall prepare and provide to the Certificateholders (by mail,
telephone, or publication as may be permitted by applicable Treasury
Regulations) such other reasonable information as the Trustee deems necessary or
appropriate or is required by the Code, Treasury Regulations, and the REMIC
Provisions including, but not limited to, (i) information to be reported to the
Holders of the Residual Certificates for quarterly notices on Schedule Q (Form
1066) (which information shall be forwarded to the Holders of the Residual
Certificates by the Trustee), (ii) information to be provided to the Holders of
Certificates with respect to amounts which should be included as interest and
original issue discount in such Holders' gross income and (iii) information to
be provided to all Holders of Certificates setting forth the percentage of each
REMIC's assets, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations using a
convention, not inconsistent with Treasury Regulations, selected by the Trustee
in its absolute discretion, that constitute real estate assets under Section 856
of the Code, and assets described in Section 7701(a)(19)(C) of the Code;
provided, however, that in setting forth the percentage of such assets of each
REMIC, nothing contained in this Agreement, including without limitation Section
7.03 hereof, shall be interpreted to require the Trustee periodically to
appraise the fair market values of the assets of the Trust Estate or to
indemnify the Trust Estate or any Certificateholders from any adverse federal,
state or local tax consequences associated with a change subsequently required
to be made in the Depositor's initial good faith determinations of such fair
market values (if subsequent determinations are required pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions) made from time to time.
Section 5.05 Tax Returns and Reports to Certificateholders.
(a) For federal income tax purposes, each REMIC shall have a
calendar year taxable year and shall maintain its books on the accrual method of
accounting.
(b) The Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared, shall execute
and shall file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service and
applicable state or local tax authorities income tax information returns for
each taxable year with respect to each REMIC containing such information at the
times and in the manner as may be required by the Code, the Treasury Regulations
or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and shall furnish or cause to
be furnished to each REMIC and the Certificateholders the schedules, statements
or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby.
Within 30 days of the Closing Date, the Trustee shall furnish or cause to be
furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or as otherwise required
by the Code or the Treasury Regulations, the name, title, address and telephone
number of the person that Holders of the Certificates may contact for tax
information relating thereto, together with such additional information at the
time or times and in the manner required by the Code or the Treasury
Regulations. Such federal, state, or local income tax or information returns
shall be signed by the Trustee, or such other Person as may be required to sign
such returns by the Code, the Treasury Regulations or state or local tax laws,
regulations, or rules.
(c) In the first federal income tax return of each REMIC for its
short taxable year ending December 31, 2003, REMIC status shall be elected for
such taxable year and all succeeding taxable years.
(d) The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained such records
relating to each REMIC, including but not limited to records relating to the
income, expenses, assets and liabilities of the Trust Estate, and the initial
fair market value and adjusted basis of the Trust Estate property and assets
determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code or the Treasury
Regulations, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules,
statements or information.
Section 5.06 Tax Matters Person. A Tax Matters Person shall have the
same duties with respect to the applicable REMIC as those of a "tax matters
partner" under Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of Subtitle F of the Code. The Holder
of the Class A-R Certificate is hereby designated as the Tax Matters Person for
the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Holder of the Class A-LR Certificate is hereby
designated as the Tax Matters Person for the Lower-Tier REMIC. By their
acceptance of the Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate, as applicable, each such
Holder irrevocably appoints the Trustee as its agent to perform all of the
duties of the Tax Matters Person for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier
REMIC.
Section 5.07 Rights of a Tax Matters Person in Respect of the
Trustee. The Trustee shall afford a Tax Matters Person, upon reasonable notice
during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Trustee in
respect of its duties hereunder and access to officers of the Trustee
responsible for performing such duties. Upon request, the Trustee shall furnish
a Tax Matters Person with its most recent report of condition published pursuant
to law or to the requirements of its supervisory or examining authority publicly
available. The Trustee shall make available to a Tax Matters Person such books,
documents or records relating to the Trustee's services hereunder as a Tax
Matters Person shall reasonably request. A Tax Matters Person shall not have any
responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Trustee and
is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Trustee under this
Agreement or otherwise.
Section 5.08 REMIC Related Covenants. For as long as the Trust shall
exist, the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer shall act in accordance
herewith to assure continuing treatment of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the
Lower-Tier REMIC as REMICs and avoid the imposition of tax on either REMIC. In
particular:
(a) The Trustee shall not create, or permit the creation of, any
"interests" in either REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860D(a)(2) other
than the interests represented by the Regular Certificates the Residual
Certificates and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in the Code, (i) the Depositor and
the Servicer shall not contribute to the Trust Estate and the Trustee shall not
accept property unless substantially all of the property held in either REMIC
constitutes either "qualified mortgages" or "permitted investments" as defined
in Code Sections 860G(a)(3) and (5), respectively, and (ii) no property shall be
contributed to each REMIC after the start-up day unless such contribution would
not subject the Trust Estate to the 100% tax on contributions to a REMIC after
the start-up day of the REMIC imposed by Code Section 860G(d).
(c) The Trustee shall not accept on behalf of either REMIC any fee
or other compensation for services and neither the Trustee nor the Servicer
shall knowingly accept, on behalf of the Trust Estate any income from assets
other than those permitted to be held by a REMIC.
(d) The Trustee shall not sell or permit the sale of all or any
portion of the Mortgage Loans (other than in accordance with Sections 2.02, 2.04
or 3.14(b)), unless such sale is pursuant to a "qualified liquidation" of the
applicable REMIC as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(4)(A) and in accordance with
Article X.
(e) The Trustee shall maintain books with respect to the Trust and
each REMIC on a calendar year taxable year and on an accrual basis.
Neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall engage in a "prohibited
transaction" (as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2)), except that, with the
prior written consent of the Servicer and the Depositor, the Trustee may engage
in the activities otherwise prohibited by the foregoing paragraphs (b), (c) and
(d); provided that the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that such transaction will not result in the imposition
of a tax on either REMIC and will not disqualify the Trust Estate from treatment
as two REMICs; and, provided further, that the Servicer shall have demonstrated
to the satisfaction of the Trustee that such action will not adversely affect
the rights of the Holders of the Certificates and the Trustee and that such
action will not adversely impact the rating of the Certificates.
Section 5.09 Determination of LIBOR. On each Rate Determination Date
for a Class of LIBOR Certificates, the Trustee shall determine LIBOR for the
applicable Distribution Date on the basis of the British Bankers' Association
("BBA") "Interest Settlement Rate" for one-month deposits in U.S. Dollars as
found on Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00 A.M. London time on such Rate
Determination Date. As used herein, "Telerate page 3750" means the display
designated as page 3750 on the Moneyline Telerate Service.
If on any Rate Determination Date for a Class of LIBOR Certificates,
the Trustee is unable to determine LIBOR on the basis of the method set forth in
the preceding paragraph, LIBOR for the applicable Distribution Date will be
whichever is higher of (x) LIBOR as determined on the previous Rate
Determination Date for such Class of LIBOR Certificates or (y) the Reserve
Interest Rate. The "Reserve Interest Rate" will be the rate per annum which the
Trustee determines to be either (A) the arithmetic mean (rounding such
arithmetic mean upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/16%) of
the one-month U.S. Dollar lending rates that New York City banks selected by the
Trustee are quoting, on the relevant Rate Determination Date, to the principal
London offices of at least two leading banks in the London interbank market or
(B) in the event that the Trustee can determine no such arithmetic mean, the
lowest one-month U.S. Dollar lending rate that the New York City banks selected
by the Trustee are quoting on such Rate Determination Date to leading European
banks.
If on any Rate Determination Date for a Class of LIBOR Certificates,
the Trustee is required but is unable to determine the Reserve Interest Rate in
the manner provided in the preceding paragraph, LIBOR for the applicable
Distribution Date will be LIBOR as determined on the previous Rate Determination
Date for such Class of LIBOR Certificates, or, in the case of the first Rate
Determination Date, 1.300% per annum.
The establishment of LIBOR by the Trustee and the Trustee's
subsequent calculation of the rates of interest applicable to each of the LIBOR
Certificates in the absence of manifest error, will be final and binding. After
a Rate Determination Date, the Trustee shall provide the Pass-Through Rates of
the LIBOR Certificates for the related Distribution Date to Beneficial Owners or
Holders of LIBOR Certificates who place a telephone call to the Trustee at (301)
815-6600 and make a request therefor.
ARTICLE VI

the Depository or, pursuant to the Depository's instructions on behalf of the
Depository to, and deposited with, the Certificate Custodian, and all other
Classes of Certificates shall initially be issued in definitive,
fully-registered form.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer or signatory. Certificates
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time
when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee
shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them
have ceased to be so authorized prior to the execution and delivery of such
Certificates or did not hold such offices or positions at the date of such
Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless such Certificate shall have been
manually countersigned by the Trustee substantially in the form provided for
herein, and such countersignature 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 countersignature.
Section 6.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at an office or agency in the
city in which the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located 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 shall initially
serve as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and
transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
(b) At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like Class,
tenor 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 Trustee shall
authenticate, countersign and deliver the Certificates which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate
presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the
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 its attorney duly
authorized in writing.
(c) (i) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(iii) below, the
Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name
of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (A) registration of the
Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another
Depository; (B) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with
respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and
transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (C) ownership and transfers of
registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the Depository
shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (D)
the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and
expenses from its Depository Participants; (E) the Trustee shall deal with
the Depository as the representative of the Certificate Owners of the
Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders
under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of the
Depository shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with
respect to different Certificate Owners; and (F) the Trustee may rely and
shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the
Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by
the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms
and persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as
direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
(ii) All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates
shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the
Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate
Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer 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.
(iii) If (A) (1) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee
in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly
discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (2) the Trustee or the
Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (B) the Depositor at
its option advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the
book-entry system through the Depository or (C) after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing at least 51% of the
aggregate Class Certificate Balances of the Book-Entry Certificates
together advise the Trustee and the Depository through the Depository
Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system
through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the
Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners,
through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the "Definitive
Certificates") to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender
to the Trustee of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository (or
by the Certificate Custodian, if it holds such Class on behalf of the
Depository), accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for
registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. None of
the Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay
in delivery of such instruction and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. The Depositor shall provide
the Trustee with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the
issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of
Definitive Certificates, the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the
Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
(d) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and any
applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and
such laws. In the event of any such transfer, (i) unless such transfer is made
in reliance on Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, the Trustee or the Depositor may
require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable
to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing
the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act and such laws
or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act and such laws, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor and (ii) the
Trustee shall require a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to
effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-1
and a certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee
substantially in the form attached hereto either as Exhibit G-2A or as Exhibit
G-2B, which certificates shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the
Depositor; provided that the foregoing requirements under clauses (i) and (ii)
shall not apply to a transfer of a Private Certificate between or among the
Depositor, the Seller, their affiliates or both or, in the case of the Class SES
Certificates, between Bank of America and the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.23.
The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any
prospective transferees designated by any such Holder, information regarding the
related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall
be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule
144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such certificate without registration thereof
under the 1933 Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A.
The Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and
does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor 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.
(e) No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate (other than a
transfer of the Class SES Certificates between Bank of America and the Trustee
pursuant to Section 3.23) shall be made unless the transferee delivers to the
Trustee either (i) a representation letter in the form of Exhibit H from the
transferee of such Certificate, which representation letter shall not be an
expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Servicer, or (ii) in the case of
any ERISA Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of an
employee benefit plan or arrangement, including an individual retirement
account, subject to ERISA, the Code, or any federal, state or local law
("Similar Law") which is similar to ERISA or the Code (collectively, a "Plan"),
or a trustee or custodian of any of the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel in form
and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Servicer to the effect that
the purchase or holding of such ERISA Restricted Certificate by or on behalf of
such Plan will not result in the assets of the Trust Estate being deemed to be
"plan assets" and subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, the
Code or Similar Law and will not subject the Trustee, the Depositor or the
Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Servicer.
Any transferee of an ERISA Restricted Certificate that does not comply with
either clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence will be deemed to have made
one of the representations set forth in Exhibit H; provided, that the transferee
of a Class SES Certificate shall be deemed to have made the representation set
forth in clause (a) of Exhibit H. For purposes of clause (i) of the second
preceding sentence, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the
Certificate Registrar by the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of a Book-Entry
Certificate of the beneficial interest in any such Class of ERISA-Restricted
Certificates, unless the Certificate Registrar shall have received from the
transferee an alternative representation acceptable in form and substance to the
Depositor. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported
transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan without
the delivery to the Trustee and the Servicer of an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Servicer as described above shall be void
and of no effect.
Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any
liability for transfers of Book-Entry Certificates made through the book-entry
facilities of the Depository or between or among any Depository Participants or
Certificate Owners, made in violation of applicable restrictions. The Trustee
may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by
the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the
Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and Persons
shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect
Certificate Owners.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not
limited to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for
any registration of transfer of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is in fact
not permitted by this Section 6.02 or for making any payments due on such
Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to
such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was
registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
(f) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual 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.
(ii) No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided
interest.
(iii) In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery to
it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of an affidavit in the form
of Exhibit I hereto from the proposed transferee.
(iv) Notwithstanding the delivery of an affidavit by a proposed
transferee under clause (iii) above, if a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a
Permitted Transferee, no transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate to such proposed transferee shall be effected.
(v) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be purchased
by or transferred to any Person that is not a U.S. Person, unless (A) such
Person holds such Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of a
trade or business within the United States and furnishes the transferor
and the Trustee with an effective Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or
successor thereto) or (B) the transferee delivers to both the transferor
and the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from a nationally-recognized tax
counsel to the effect that such transfer is in accordance with the
requirements of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder and
that such transfer of a Residual Certificate will not be disregarded for
federal income tax purposes.
(vi) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
6.02 shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall, in violation of
the provisions of this Section 6.02, become a Holder of a Residual
Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a
Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of
transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this
Section 6.02, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to
the date of registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The
Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of
transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this
Section 6.02 or for making any distributions due on such Residual
Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect
to such Holder under the provisions of the Agreement so long as the
transfer was registered in accordance with this Section 6.02. The Trustee
shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate
that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions
were made all distributions made on such Residual Certificate. Any such
distributions so recovered by the Trustee shall be distributed and
delivered by the Trustee to the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate
that is a Permitted Transferee.
(vii) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the
restrictions in this Section 6.02, then the Trustee, based on information
provided to the Trustee by the Servicer, will provide to the Internal
Revenue Service, and to the Persons specified in Section 860E(e)(3) and
(6) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under
Section 860E(e) of the Code on transfers of residual interests to
disqualified organizations. The expenses of the Trustee under this clause
(vii) shall be reimbursable by the Trust.
(viii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be
acquired by a Plan or any Person acting on behalf of a Plan.
(g) [Reserved]
(h) No service charge shall be imposed 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.
(i) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be
destroyed by the Certificate Registrar.
Section 6.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If
(a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or the
Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee, the
Depositor and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to each, to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of
actual notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate
has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall countersign 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, as if originally
issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found
at any time.
Section 6.04 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Trustee 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 5.01 and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar or any agent of the Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
ARTICLE VII
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICER
Section 7.01 Respective Liabilities of the Depositor and the
Servicer. The Depositor and the Servicer shall each be liable in accordance
herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and respectively
imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor and the Servicer herein. By way of
illustration and not limitation, the Depositor is not liable for the servicing
and administration of the Mortgage Loans, nor is it obligated by Section 8.01 to
assume any obligations of the 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 7.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the
Servicer. The Depositor and the Servicer will each keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a separate entity under the laws governing
its organization, and will each obtain and preserve its qualification to do
business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Depositor or the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding
to the business of the Depositor or the Servicer, shall be the successor of the
Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that
the successor or surviving Person to the Servicer shall be qualified to service
mortgage loans on behalf of FNMA or FHLMC.
Section 7.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer
and Others. None of the Depositor, the Servicer or any of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or of the Servicer shall be under
any liability to the Trust Estate 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 Depositor, the 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 Depositor, the Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the 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 Depositor, the Servicer
and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Servicer
shall be indemnified by the Trust Estate 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 of the Depositor nor the Servicer shall be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which 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
Depositor or the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which
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 and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Estate, and the Depositor and the Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans on deposit
in the Servicer Custodial Account as provided by Section 3.11.
Section 7.04 Depositor and Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the
provisions of Section 7.02, neither the Depositor nor the 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
Depositor or the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation by the Servicer shall
become effective until the Trustee or a successor Servicer shall have assumed
the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations in accordance with Section 8.05
hereof.
ARTICLE VIII
DEFAULT
Section 8.01 Events of Default. If any one of the following events
("Events of Default") shall occur and be continuing:
(a) any failure by the Servicer to deposit amounts in the Servicer
Custodial Account in the amount and manner provided herein so as to enable the
Trustee to distribute to Holders of Certificates any payment required to be made
under the terms of such Certificates and this Agreement (other than the payments
required to be made under Section 3.20) which continues unremedied for a period
of five days; or
(b) failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform
in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set
forth in the Certificates or in this Agreement, which covenants and agreements
continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written
notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given
to the Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Servicer, the
Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Voting
Rights aggregating not less than 25% of all Certificates affected thereby; or
(c) the entry of a decree or order by a court or agency or
supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of
a conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings against the
Servicer, or for the winding up or liquidation of the Servicer's affairs, and
the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period
of 60 consecutive days; or
(d) the consent by the Servicer 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 Servicer
or of or relating to substantially all of its property; or the Servicer shall
admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due,
file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization
statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily
suspend payment of its obligations; or
(e) the failure of the Servicer to remit any Periodic Advance
required to be remitted by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.20 which failure
continues unremedied at 3:00 p.m. on the related Distribution Date;
then, and in each and every such case (other than the Event of Default described
in clause (e) hereof), so long as an Event of Default shall not have been
remedied by the Servicer, either the Trustee or the Depositor may, and at the
direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights aggregating
not less than 51% of all Certificates affected thereby shall, by notice then
given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Trustee, if given by the Depositor,
and to the Depositor, if given by the Trustee), terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement. If an Event of Default
described in clause (e) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice to the
Servicer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this
Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and proceeds thereof and the Trustee
or a successor Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 8.05 shall make the
Advance which the Servicer failed to make. On or after the receipt by the
Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under
this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans
or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under
this Section 8.01, unless and until such time as the Trustee shall appoint a
successor Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05, and, without limitation, the
Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the 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 of the Mortgage Loans and related
documents, or otherwise, including, without limitation, the recordation of the
assignments of the Mortgage Loans to it. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of
the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the
Trustee for the administration by it of all cash amounts that have been
deposited by the Servicer in the Servicer Custodial Account or thereafter
received by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Upon obtaining
notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Person
obtaining such notice or knowledge shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register and to each Rating Agency. All costs and expenses (including attorneys'
fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage Files to the
successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as
Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall be paid by the predecessor
Servicer. Notwithstanding the termination of the Servicer pursuant hereto, the
Servicer shall remain liable for any causes of action arising out of any Event
of Default occurring prior to such termination.
Section 8.02 Remedies of Trustee. During the continuance of any
Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied,
the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 8.01, shall have the
right, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now
or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and
remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of
the Certificateholders (including the institution and prosecution of all
judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim
and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of
any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition
to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy
shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any
Event of Default.
Section 8.03 Directions by Certificateholders and Duties of Trustee
During Event of Default. During the continuance of any Event of Default, Holders
of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights aggregating not less than 25% of each
Class of Certificates affected thereby may direct 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; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such
remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this
Agreement (including, without limitation, (a) the conducting or defending of any
administrative action or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, and (b) the
terminating of the Servicer or any successor Servicer from its rights and duties
as servicer hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, 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 and, provided further,
that, subject to the provisions of Section 9.01, the Trustee shall have the
right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, based upon an
Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not
lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or
proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly
prejudicial to the non-assenting Certificateholders.
Section 8.04 Action upon Certain Failures of the Servicer and upon
Event of Default. In the event that the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of
any failure of the Servicer specified in Section 8.01(a) or (b) which would
become an Event of Default upon the Servicer's failure to remedy the same after
notice, the Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Servicer. If the Trustee
shall have knowledge of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall give prompt
written notice thereof to the Certificateholders.
Section 8.05 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) Within 90 days of the time the Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 8.01, the Trustee shall be the successor in all
respects to the 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
Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof or shall appoint a successor
pursuant to Section 3.07. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the parties hereto
agree that the Trustee, in its capacity as successor Servicer, immediately will
assume all of the obligations of the Servicer to make Advances, (ii) the
Trustee, in its capacity as successor Servicer, shall not be responsible for the
lack of information and/or documents that it cannot obtain through reasonable
efforts and (iii) under no circumstances shall any provision of this Agreement
be construed to require the Trustee, acting in its capacity as successor to the
Servicer in its obligation to make Advances, to advance, expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its
duties hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that such
funds are non-recoverable. Subject to Section 8.05(b), as compensation therefor,
the Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the terminated Servicer
would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been
given. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so
to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home
finance institution having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 as the
successor to the terminated Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any
part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder;
provided, however, that any such institution appointed as successor Servicer
shall not, as evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency, adversely affect the
then current rating of any Class of Certificates immediately prior to the
termination of the terminated Servicer. The appointment of a successor Servicer
shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen
under this Agreement prior to its termination as Servicer, nor shall any
successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor
Servicer or for any breach by the Servicer of any of its representations or
warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement. Pending
appointment of a successor to the terminated Servicer hereunder, unless the
Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such
capacity as provided above. The Trustee and such successor shall take such
action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any
such succession. All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor
Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs, and if
such predecessor Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, such
costs shall be paid by the successor Servicer or the Trustee (in which case the
successor Servicer or the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor
from the assets of the Trust).
(b) In connection with the appointment of a successor Servicer or
the assumption of the duties of the Servicer, as specified in Section 8.05(a),
the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor,
including the payment of a Supplemental Servicing Fee out of the Collateral
pledged by the predecessor Servicer pursuant to Section 3.23, as it and such
successor agree.
(c) Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Servicer as
servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer maintain in force (i)
a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the
performance of its obligations as servicer hereunder and (ii) a fidelity bond in
respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Servicer
is so required pursuant to Section 3.03.
Section 8.06 Notification to Certificateholders. Upon any
termination or appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to this
Article VIII, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register and to each Rating Agency.
ARTICLE IX
THE TRUSTEE
Section 9.01 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 of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge (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 reasonably prudent investor would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such investor's own affairs.
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.
(b) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly
negligent failure to act or its own willful misfeasance; 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 Depositor or the Servicer and which on
their face, do not contradict the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee (in its individual capacity) 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 grossly negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts;
(iii) The Trustee (in its individual capacity) 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 as provided in Section 8.03;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default
(other than a default in payment to the Trustee) specified in clauses (a)
and (b) of Section 8.01 or an Event of Default under clauses (c), (d) and
(e) of Section 8.01 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 any officer of the Trustee receives written
notice of such failure or event at its Corporate Trust Office from the
Servicer, the Depositor or any Certificateholder; and
(v) Except to the extent provided in Section 8.05, no provision in
this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
(including, without limitation, the making of any Advance as successor
Servicer) 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.
Section 9.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01:
(i) The Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's
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 waiving 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 or Certificate or 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 or payment of such estimated expenses as a condition to so
proceeding; and
(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.
Section 9.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the execution
of, and the counter-signature on the Certificates) shall be taken as the
statements of the Depositor or Servicer, as applicable, 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 or any
Mortgage Loans save that the Trustee represents that, assuming due execution and
delivery by the other parties hereto, this Agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding
obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject, as to
enforcement of remedies, to applicable insolvency, receivership, moratorium and
other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and to general
principles of equity and the discretion of the court (regardless of whether
enforcement of such remedies is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor
of funds paid to the Depositor in consideration of the assignment of the
Mortgage Loans hereunder by the Depositor, or for the use or application of any
funds paid to Subservicers or the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or
deposited into the Servicer Custodial Account, or any other account hereunder
(other than the Certificate Account) by the Servicer.
The Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability
for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage
or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the
maintenance of any such perfection and priority or for or with respect to the
sufficiency of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be
distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without
limitation: the existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgaged Property;
the existence and enforceability of any hazard insurance thereon (other than if
the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05 and
thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the successor Servicer); the
validity of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any
intervening assignment; the completeness of any Mortgage Loan; the performance
or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other than if the Trustee shall assume the
duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05 and thereupon only for the acts
or omissions of the Trustee as successor Servicer); the compliance by the
Depositor or the Servicer with any warranty or representation made under this
Agreement or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or
representation; any investment of monies by or at the direction of the Servicer
or any loss resulting therefrom, it being understood that the Trustee shall
remain responsible for any Trust property that it may hold in its individual
capacity; the acts or omissions of any of the Depositor, the Servicer (other
than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section
8.05 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor
Servicer), any Subservicer or any Mortgagor; any action of the Servicer (other
than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section
8.05 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor
Servicer) or any Subservicer taken in the name of the Trustee; the failure of
the Servicer or any Subservicer to act or perform any duties required of it as
agent of the Trustee hereunder; or any action by the Trustee taken at the
instruction of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties
of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05 and thereupon only for the acts or
omissions of the Trustee as successor Servicer); provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties
under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Trustee's review of the
Mortgage Files pursuant to Section 2.02. The Trustee shall file any financing or
continuation statement in any public office at any time required to maintain the
perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder.
Section 9.04 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 and may otherwise deal
with the Servicer, any Subservicer or any of their respective affiliates with
the same right it would have if it were not the Trustee.
Section 9.05 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee
hereunder shall at all times be (a) an institution the deposits of which are
fully insured by the FDIC and (b) a corporation or banking association organized
and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any
State, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a
combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to
supervision or examination by Federal or State authority and (c) with respect to
every successor trustee hereunder either an institution (i) the long-term
unsecured debt obligations of which are rated at least "A" by Fitch and at least
"A2" by Xxxxx'x or (ii) whose serving as Trustee hereunder would not result in
the lowering of the ratings originally assigned to any Class of Certificates.
The Trustee shall not be an affiliate of the Depositor or Bank of America. If
such corporation or 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 9.05, the combined
capital and surplus of such corporation or banking association 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 provision of this Section 9.05, the Trustee
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section
9.06.
Section 9.06 Resignation and Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at
any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving
written notice thereof to the Servicer and mailing a copy of such notice to all
Holders of record. The Trustee shall also mail a copy of such notice of
resignation to each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation,
the Servicer shall use their best efforts to promptly appoint a mutually
acceptable 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
shall 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.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 9.05 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a 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 Servicer
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.
The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 50% of the
Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee by written instrument or
instruments delivered to the Servicer and the Trustee; the Servicer shall
thereupon use their best efforts to appoint a mutually acceptable successor
Trustee in accordance with this Section 9.06.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.06 shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as
provided in Section 9.07.
Section 9.07 Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed as
provided in Section 9.06 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer
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, without any further act, deed
or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as Trustee herein. The predecessor Trustee shall duly assign, transfer,
deliver and pay over to the successor Trustee the whole of the Mortgage Files
and related documents and statements held by it hereunder, together with all
instruments of transfer and assignment or other documents properly executed as
may be reasonably required to effect such transfer and such of the records or
copies thereof maintained by the predecessor Trustee in the administration
hereof as may be reasonably requested by the successor Trustee and shall
thereupon be discharged from all duties and responsibilities under this
Agreement; provided, however, that if the predecessor Trustee has been
terminated pursuant to the third paragraph of Section 9.06, all reasonable
expenses of the predecessor Trustee incurred in complying with this Section 9.07
shall be reimbursed by the Trust.
No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 9.07 unless at the time of such appointment such successor Trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.05.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in
this Section 9.07, the Servicer shall cooperate to mail notice of the succession
of such Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as
shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency. If the Servicer
fail to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at
the expense of the Servicer.
Section 9.08 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any corporation or
banking association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or banking association
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee
shall be a party, or any corporation or banking association succeeding to all or
substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, if such corporation or banking association
is eligible under the provisions of Section 9.05, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 9.09 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of
meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any Mortgaged
Property may at the time be located or for any other reason, the 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 as
co-trustee or separate trustee of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to
vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust
Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provision of this Section
9.09, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and
the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have
joined in such appointment within ten days after the receipt by it of a request
to do so, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 9.05 and no notice to Holders
of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall
be required under Section 9.07.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 9.09, 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 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 Estate 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. No
trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee hereunder; provided, however, that no appointment
of a co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall relieve the Trustee of its
obligations hereunder.
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 IX. 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.
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 become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, or shall be adjudged a
bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of its property shall be appointed, or any
public officer shall take charge or control of such trustee or co-trustee or of
its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, 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 9.10 Authenticating Agents. The Trustee may appoint one or
more authenticating agents ("Authenticating Agents") which shall be authorized
to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating or countersigning
Certificates. Initially, the Authenticating Agent shall be Xxxxx Fargo Bank
Minnesota, National Association. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to
the authentication or countersigning of Certificates by the Trustee or the
Trustee's certificate of authentication or countersigning, such reference shall
be deemed to include authentication or countersigning on behalf of the Trustee
by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication or
countersignature executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.
Each Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Servicer and must be a
corporation or banking association organized and doing business under the laws
of the United States of America or of any state, having (except in the case of
the Trustee) a principal office and a place of business in New York, New York,
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under
such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authorities.
Any corporation or banking association into which any Authenticating
Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any
corporation or banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any
corporation or banking association succeeding to the corporate agency business
of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written
notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Servicer. The Trustee may at any
time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice
of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Servicer. Upon receiving
a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case, at any time any
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 9.10, the Trustee may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the
Servicer and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders.
Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder
shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of
its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as
Authenticating Agent.
Section 9.11 Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The Trustee, as
compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be entitled to receive on each
Distribution Date an amount equal to the Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date
pursuant to Section 5.02(a). The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against
any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) (a)
incurred in connection with any claim or legal action relating to (i) this
Agreement, (ii) the Certificates, or (iii) the performance of any of the
Trustee's duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred
by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of any of the Trustee's duties hereunder, (b) resulting from any tax
or information return which was prepared by, or should have been prepared by,
the Servicer and (c) arising out of the transfer of any ERISA-Restricted
Certificate or Residual Certificate not in compliance with ERISA. Such indemnity
shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of
the Trustee hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise
agreed upon in writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee's gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, the Trust shall reimburse the
Trustee for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made
by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement to the
extent permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) and (iii);
provided, however, that the Depositor and the Trustee intend to enter into a
separate agreement for custody-related services. Except as otherwise provided
herein, the Trustee shall not be entitled to payment or reimbursement for any
routine ongoing expenses incurred by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its
duties as Trustee, Certificate Registrar or Paying Agent hereunder or for any
other expenses.
Section 9.12 Appointment of Custodian. The Trustee may at any time
on or after the Closing Date, with the consent of the Depositor and the
Servicer, appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the
Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a custodial agreement
in a form acceptable to the Depositor and the Servicer. Subject to this Article
IX, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial Agreement and
to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the 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 $10,000,000 and shall be qualified to
do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File.
Section 9.13 Paying Agents. The Trustee may appoint one or more
Paying Agents (each, a "Paying Agent") which shall be authorized to act on
behalf of the Trustee in making withdrawals from the Certificate Account and
distributions to Certificateholders as provided in Section 3.08 and Section
5.02. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the withdrawal from the
Certificate Account by the Trustee, such reference shall be deemed to include
such a withdrawal on behalf of the Trustee by a Paying Agent. Initially, the
Paying Agent shall be Xxxxx Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association. Whenever
reference is made in this Agreement to a distribution by the Trustee or the
furnishing of a statement to Certificateholders by the Trustee, such reference
shall be deemed to include such a distribution or furnishing on behalf of the
Trustee by a Paying Agent. Each Paying Agent shall provide to the Trustee such
information concerning the Certificate Account as the Trustee shall request from
time to time. Each Paying Agent must be reasonably acceptable to the Servicer
and must be a corporation or banking association organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having (except
in the case of the Trustee) a principal office and place of business in New
York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000,
authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authorities.
Any corporation into which any Paying Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Paying Agent shall be
a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of any
Paying Agent, shall continue to be the Paying Agent provided that such
corporation after the consummation of such merger, conversion, consolidation or
succession meets the eligibility requirements of this Section 9.13.
Any Paying Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of
resignation to the Trustee and to the Servicer; provided that the Paying Agent
has returned to the Certificate Account or otherwise accounted, to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee, for all amounts it has withdrawn from
the Certificate Account. The Trustee may, upon prior written approval of the
Servicer, at any time terminate the agency of any Paying Agent by giving written
notice of termination to such Paying Agent and to the Servicer. Upon receiving a
notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any
Paying Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of the
first paragraph of this Section 9.13, the Trustee may appoint, upon prior
written approval of the Servicer, a successor Paying Agent, shall give written
notice of such appointment to the Servicer and shall mail notice of such
appointment to all Certificateholders. Any successor Paying Agent upon
acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all rights,
powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like
effect as if originally named as Paying Agent. The Trustee shall remain liable
for any duties and obligations assumed by its appointed Paying Agent.
Section 9.14 Limitation of Liability. The Certificates are executed
by the Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee of the
Trust, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it by
this Agreement. Each of the undertakings and agreements made on the part of the
Trustee in the Certificates is made and intended not as a personal undertaking
or agreement by the Trustee but is made and intended for the purpose of binding
only the Trust.
Section 9.15 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
Certificates. All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the
Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any
proceeding relating thereto, and such preceding instituted by the Trustee shall
be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee. Any recovery of
judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursement and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be
for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect of which such
judgment has been recovered.
Section 9.16 Suits for Enforcement. In case an Event of Default or
other default by the Servicer or the Depositor hereunder shall occur and be
continuing, the Trustee, in its discretion, may proceed to protect and enforce
its rights and the rights of the Holders of Certificates under this Agreement by
a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the
specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or
in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the
enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee, being
advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the
rights of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.
Section 9.17 Waiver of Bond Requirement. The Trustee shall be
relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any requirement of any
jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part thereof, may be located that the
Trustee post a bond or other surety with any court, agency or body whatsoever.
Section 9.18 Waiver of Inventory, Accounting and Appraisal
Requirement. The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby
waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part
thereof, may be located that the Trustee file any inventory, accounting or
appraisal of the Trust with any court, agency or body at any time or in any
manner whatsoever.
ARTICLE X
TERMINATION
Section 10.01 Termination upon Purchase by the Depositor or
Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans. Subject to Section 10.02, the respective
obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee
created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain
payments to Certificateholders after the Final Distribution Date and to send
certain notices as hereinafter set forth and the obligations of the Trustee
pursuant to Sections 5.04(b) and 5.05(b)) shall terminate upon the last action
required to be taken by the Trustee on the Final Distribution Date pursuant to
this Article X following the earlier of (a) the purchase by the Depositor of all
Mortgage Loans and all REO Property remaining in the Trust Estate at a price
equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage
Loan (other than any Mortgage Loan as to which REO Property has been acquired
and whose fair market value is included pursuant to clause (ii) below), (ii) the
fair market value of such REO Property (as determined by the Depositor as of the
close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which
notice of any such termination is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to
the fourth paragraph of this Article X), plus any Class Unpaid Interest
Shortfall for any Class of Certificates as well as one month's interest at the
related Mortgage Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan
(including any Mortgage Loan as to which REO Property has been acquired) and
(iii) any Reimbursement Amount owed to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.04 or (b)
the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of
the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Estate or the disposition of all
REO Property.
Regardless of the foregoing, 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.
The right of the Depositor to repurchase all of the Mortgage Loans
is conditioned upon the Pool Stated Principal Balance as of the Final
Distribution Date being less than 10% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal
Balance. If such right is exercised, the Trustee shall, promptly following
payment of the purchase price, release to the Depositor or its designee the
Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans being purchased.
Notice of any termination, specifying the Final Distribution Date
(which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which
the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for
payment of the final distribution and for cancellation, shall be given promptly
by the Depositor (if exercising its right to purchase the assets of the Trust)
or by the Trustee (in any other case) by letter to Certificateholders mailed 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 (1) the Final
Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office or agency of the
Trustee therein designated, (2) the amount of any such final payment and (3)
that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. If the
Depositor is obligated to give notice to Certificateholders as aforesaid, it
shall give such notice to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar at the time
such notice is given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given by
the Depositor, the Depositor shall deposit in the Certificate Account on or
before the Final Distribution Date in immediately available funds an amount
equal to the amount necessary to make the amount, if any, on deposit in the
Certificate Account on the Final Distribution Date equal to the purchase price
for the related assets of the Trust computed as above provided together with a
statement as to the amount to be distributed on each Class of Certificates
pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph. Not less than five (5) Business Days
prior to the Final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor of
the amount of any unpaid Reimbursement Amount owed to the Trust.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee
shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders of each Class, in the order
set forth in Section 5.02 hereof, on the Final Distribution Date and in
proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to
Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (I) as to each Class of
Certificates, the Class Certificate Balance thereof plus (a) accrued interest
thereon in the case of an interest bearing Certificate and (b) the Class A-PO
Deferred Amount with respect to the Class A-PO Certificates, and (II) as to the
Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate, the amounts, if any, which remain on
deposit in the Certificate Account (and are deemed to be on deposit in the
Upper-Tier Certificate Sub-Account) (other than the amounts retained to meet
claims) after application pursuant to clause (I) above. An amount shall be
distributed in respect of interest and principal to the Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interests in the same amounts as distributed to their Corresponding
Upper-Tier Class or Classes.
If all of the Certificateholders do not surrender their Certificates
for final payment and cancellation on or before the Final Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall on such date cause all funds in the Certificate Account not
distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders to continue to be held
by the Trustee in an Eligible Account for the benefit of such Certificateholders
and the Depositor (if it exercised its right to purchase the assets of the Trust
Estate) or the Trustee (in any other case) shall give a second written notice to
the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
one year after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or
may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds on deposit in such Eligible Account.
Section 10.02 Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) If the Depositor exercises its purchase option as provided in
Section 10.01, the Trust shall be terminated in accordance with the following
additional requirements, unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that the failure of the Trust to comply with the requirements of
this Section 10.02 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" of the Trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause
the Trust Estate to fail to qualify as two separate REMICs at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding:
(i) within 90 days prior to the Final Distribution Date set forth in
the notice given by the Depositor under Section 10.01, the Trustee shall
sell all of the assets of the Trust Estate to the Depositor for cash; and
(ii) the notice given by the Depositor or the Trustee pursuant to
Section 10.01 shall provide that such notice constitutes the adopting of a
plan of complete liquidation of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier
REMIC as of the date of such notice (or, if earlier, the date on which
such notice was mailed to Certificateholders). The Trustee shall also
specify such date in the final tax returns of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the
Lower-Tier REMIC.
(b) By their acceptance of the Residual Certificates, the Holders
thereof hereby agree to take such other action in connection with such plan of
complete liquidation as may be reasonably requested by the Depositor.
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 11.01 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to
time by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of any
of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct
or supplement any provisions herein or therein which may be inconsistent with
any other provisions of this Agreement, any amendment to this Agreement or the
related Prospectus Supplement, (iii) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its
provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of
the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC as REMICs at all times that any
Certificates are outstanding or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition
of any tax on either REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against
the Trust Estate, provided that (a) the Trustee has received an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that 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 shall not, as evidenced by such Opinion of Counsel,
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder,
(iv) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits into the Certificate Account
provided that (a) such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel,
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder
and (b) such change shall not adversely affect the then-current rating of the
Senior Certificates, the Class B-1 Certificates, the Class B-2 Certificates, the
Class B-3 Certificates, the Class B-4 Certificates or the Class B-5 Certificates
as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates to
such effect, (v) to reduce the percentage of the Pool Stated Principal Balance
at which the Depositor will have the option to purchase all the remaining
Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 10.01, provided that such reduction is
considered necessary by the Depositor, as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate
delivered to the Trustee, to preserve the treatment of the transfer of the
Mortgage Loans to the Depositor by the Seller or to the Trust by the Depositor
as sale for accounting purposes, and (vi) to make any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions arising under this 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, provided that
the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of the Certificateholders and no Opinion of Counsel to that effect
shall be required if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from
each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the
downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the
Certificates.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates of each Class of Certificates which is affected by such amendment,
evidencing, as to each such Class of Certificates, Percentage Interests
aggregating not less than 66-2/3%, for the purpose of adding any provisions to
or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement
or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of such Certificates;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall (A) reduce in any manner the
amount of, or delay the timing of, collections of payments on Mortgage Loans or
distributions which are required to be made on any Certificate without the
consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (B) reduce the aforesaid percentage
required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of
all Certificates then Outstanding.
Prior to the solicitation of consent of Certificateholders in
connection with any such amendment, the party seeking such amendment shall
furnish the Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel stating whether such amendment
would adversely affect the qualification of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the
Lower-Tier REMIC as REMICs and notice of the conclusion expressed in such
Opinion of Counsel shall be included with any such solicitation. An amendment
made with the consent of all Certificateholders and executed in accordance with
this Section 11.01 shall be permitted or authorized by this Agreement
notwithstanding that such Opinion of Counsel may conclude that such amendment
would adversely affect the qualification of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the
Lower-Tier REMIC as REMICs.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent the
Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of or a copy of such
amendment to each Certificateholder and to each Rating Agency.
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 requirements as the Trustee may prescribe.
Section 11.02 Recordation of Agreement. 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

Servicer and at its expense on direction by the Trustee, who will act at the
direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 50% of all Voting
Rights, but only upon direction of the Trustee accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects
the interests of Certificateholders.

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. The death
or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or the Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
commence any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust,
nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties
hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management
of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything

as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members
of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any
third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement
pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing
itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement,

of default and of the continuance thereof, as provided herein, and unless also
the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 25% of each Class of Certificates affected thereby 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
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or
themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek
to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce
any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the
equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection
and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 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.

granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the
Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans.

referred to below or any of their respective affiliates. Neither this

No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such
transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and any applicable state securities laws or
is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and such laws. In the event of any such
transfer, (i) unless the transfer is made in reliance on Rule 144A under the
1933 Act, the Trustee or the Depositor may require a written Opinion of Counsel
(which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer may
be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the
basis therefor, from the 1933 Act and such laws or is being made pursuant to the
1933 Act and such laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Trustee or the Depositor and (ii) the Trustee shall require a certificate from
the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form
attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit G-1 and a certificate
from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee substantially in the form
attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement either as Exhibit G-2A or as
Exhibit G-2B, which certificates shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the
Depositor; provided that the foregoing requirements under clauses (i) and (ii)
shall not apply to a transfer of a Private Certificate between or among the
Depositor, the Seller, their affiliates or both. The Holder of a Private
Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor 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.
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.
This Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless manually

Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Banc of America Alternative Loan Trust 2003-3 Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, of the Series specified on the face hereof
(collectively, the "Certificates"), and representing a beneficial ownership
interest in the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that
it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Certificate Account for
payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders
for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, subject to any liability under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the
interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties
evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a
distribution will be made on the 25th day of each calendar month (or, if such
day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) (each, a "Distribution Date"),
commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on
the applicable Record Date in an amount required pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. The Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date is the
last Business Day of the month next preceding the month of such Distribution
Date.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute out of the
Certificate Account to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record
Date (other than respecting the final distribution) (a) by check mailed to such
Certificateholder entitled to receive a distribution on such Distribution Date
at the address appearing in the Certificate Register, or (b) upon written
request by the Holder of a Regular Certificate, by wire transfer or by such
other means of payment as such Certificateholder and the Trustee shall agree
upon, such Certificateholder's Percentage Interest in the amount to which the
related Class of Certificates is entitled in accordance with the priorities set
forth in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The final
distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate to the Trustee as contemplated by
Section 10.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions
therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicer and
the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates affected by such
amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 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 therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Certificate Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate
for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office accompanied by a
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 the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate
Percentage Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the
same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, 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 Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee and
any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Certificate Registrar, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.
On any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
is less than 10% of the aggregate Cut-Off Date Principal Balance, the Depositor
will have the option to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust all remaining
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans at a
purchase price determined as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The 10% may be reduced by an amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
without Certificateholder consent under certain conditions set forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event that no such optional repurchase
occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement will terminate upon the later of the maturity or other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust or the disposition of all property in respect thereof and
the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event shall the Trust
created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 thereof.
Any term used herein that is defined in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement shall have the meaning assigned in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

because (i) the Transferee owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis
$______________________1 in securities (other than the excluded securities
referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee's most recent fiscal year
(such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A) and (ii) the
Transferee satisfies the criteria in the category marked below.
___ Corporation, etc. The Transferee is a corporation (other than a
bank, savings and loan association or similar institution),
Massachusetts or similar business trust, partnership, or any
organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986.
___ Bank. The Transferee (a) is a national bank or a banking institution
organized under the laws of any state, U.S. territory or the
District of Columbia, the business of which is substantially
confined to banking and is supervised by the state or territorial
banking commission or similar official or is a foreign bank or

$25,000,000 as demonstrated in its latest annual financial
statements, a copy of which is attached hereto, as of a date not
more than 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred
Certificates in the case of a U.S. bank, and not more than 18 months
preceding such date of sale in the case of a foreign bank or
equivalent institution.
___ Savings and Loan. The Transferee (a) is a savings and loan
association, building and loan association, cooperative bank,
homestead association or similar institution, which is supervised
and examined by a state or federal authority having supervision over
any such institutions, or is a foreign savings and loan association
or equivalent institute and (b) has an audited net worth of at least
$25,000,000 as demonstrated in its latest annual financial

not more than 18 months preceding such date of sale in the case of a
foreign savings and loan association or equivalent institution.
___ Broker-dealer. The Transferee is a dealer registered pursuant to
Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
___ Insurance Company. The Transferee is an insurance company whose
primary and predominant business activity is the writing of

companies and which is subject to supervision by the insurance
commissioner or a similar official or agency of a state, U.S.
territory or the District of Columbia.
___ State or Local Plan. The Transferee is a plan established and
maintained by a state, its political subdivisions, or any agency or
instrumentality of the state or its political subdivisions, for the
benefit of its employees.

meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.
___ Investment Advisor. The Transferee is an investment advisor
registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
___ Other. (Please supply a brief description of the entity and a
cross-reference to the paragraph and subparagraph under subsection
(a)(1) of Rule 144A pursuant to which it qualifies. Note that
registered investment companies should complete Annex 2 rather than
this Annex 1.)
3. The term "securities" as used herein does not include (i) securities of
issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee, (ii) securities that are part
of an unsold allotment to or subscription by the Transferee, if the Transferee
is a dealer, (iii) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (iv) loan
participations, (v) repurchase agreements, (vi) securities owned but subject to

For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or

include any of the securities referred to in this paragraph.
4. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned
and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the Transferee used
the cost of such securities to the Transferee, unless the Transferee reports its
securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market
value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities
has been published, in which case the securities were valued at market. Further,
in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included
securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such
subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the
investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee's direction.
However, such securities were not included if the Transferee is a
majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee
is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
5. The Transferee is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the
Transferor and other parties related to the Transferred Certificates are relying
and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more
sales to the Transferee may be in reliance on Rule 144A.
Will the Transferee be purchasing the
____ ____ Transferred Certificates only for the
Yes No Transferee's own account?
6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no," then in each
case where the Transferee is purchasing for an account other than its own, such
account belongs to a third party that is itself a "qualified institutional
buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A, and the "qualified institutional buyer"
status of such third party has been established by the Transferee through one or
more of the appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A.
7. The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this
certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.
Until such notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the Transferred
Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the
date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and
loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such
parties any updated annual financial statements that become available on or
before the date of such purchase, promptly after they become available.

violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or any state securities law or would
require registration or qualification of the Transferred Certificates pursuant
thereto. The Transferee will not act, nor has it authorized nor will it
authorize any person to act, in any manner set forth in the foregoing sentence

Series 2003-3
STATE OF )

COUNTY OF )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The undersigned is an officer of _______________________________, the
proposed transferee (the "Transferee") of the Class [A-R] [A-LR] (the "Residual
Certificate") issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated
April 24, 2003, (the "Agreement"), relating to the above-referenced Series, by

The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf
of the Transferee.
2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date
of the transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring the
Residual Certificate either (i) for its own account or (ii) as nominee, trustee
or agent for another Person who is a Permitted Transferee and has attached
hereto an affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this
affidavit. The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.
3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will

(iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for
the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that
such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of
transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be
imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any time during
the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee is the record Holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee
understands that, other than in the case of an "electing large partnership"
under Section 775 of the Code, such tax will not be imposed for any period with
respect to which the record Holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an
affidavit that such record Holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through
entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (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 and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)

Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of the
Residual Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on
subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the transfer and
mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by
the provisions of Section 6.02 of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on
the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any
breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the transfer
to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a transfer affidavit in the form of
this Affidavit from any Person to whom the Transferee attempts to transfer the
Residual Certificate, and in connection with any transfer by a Person for whom
the Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will
not transfer the Residual Certificate or cause the Residual Certificate to be
transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee.
7. The Transferee historically has paid its debts as they have become due.
8. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or
collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Residual
Certificate.
9. The taxpayer identification number of the Transferee's nominee is
___________.
10. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section
7701(a)(30).
11. The Transferee is aware that the Residual Certificate may be a
"noneconomic residual interest" 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.
12. The Transferee will not cause income from the Residual Certificate to
be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the
meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other
person.
13. If the Transferee is purchasing the Residual Certificate in a transfer
intended to meet the safe harbor provisions of Treasury Regulations Sections
1.860E-1(c), the Transferee has executed and attached Attachment A hereto.
14. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement,
including an individual retirement account, subject to ERISA, the Code or any
federal, state or local law which is similar to ERISA or the Code, and the
Transferee is not acting on behalf of such a plan or arrangement.

(iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations;
(iv) the Transferee has determined the consideration paid to it to
acquire the Residual Certificate based on reasonable market
assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment
rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment
assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Transferee)
that it has determined in good faith; and
(v) in the event of any transfer of the Residual Certificate by the
Transferee, the Transferee will require its transferee to complete a
representation in the form of this Attachment A as a condition of
such transferee's purchase of the Residual Certificate.

Advisor shall notify the Servicer of the additional information needed within
the allotted time, and the Servicer shall promptly provide such information and

(c) Neither the Servicer nor any of its directors, officers, employees or
agents shall be under any liability 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

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 Servicer and the Loss Mitigation Advisor and any director,
officer, employee or agent thereof 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. Neither the Loss Mitigation Advisor, its directors,
