In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Trustee shall elect that two segregated asset pools within the
Trust Fund be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising two REMICs
(each, a "REMIC" or, in the alternative, the Lower Tier REMIC and the Upper Tier
REMIC, respectively). Each Class of Certificates (other than the Class P and
Class R Certificates), other than the right of each Class of LIBOR Certificates
to receive Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts, represents ownership of a regular
interest in the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class
R Certificate represents ownership of the sole class of residual interest in
each of the Lower Tier REMIC and the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions. The Startup Day for each REMIC described herein is the Closing Date.
The latest possible maturity date for each Certificate is the latest date
referenced in Section 2.06. The Upper Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the
several classes of uncertificated Lower Tier Regular Interests, set out below.
Each such Lower Tier Regular Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest
in the Lower Tier REMIC. Class LT-A-1, Class LT-A-2, Class LT-A-3, Class LT-M-1,
Class LT-M-2, Class LT-B-1 and Class LT-B-2 Interests are hereby designated the
LT Accretion Directed Classes (the "LT Accretion Directed Classes"). The Class P
Certificate represents beneficial ownership of the Prepayment Charges, each
Class of LIBOR Certificates represents beneficial ownership of a regular
interest in the Upper Tier REMIC and the right to receive Basis Risk
CarryForward Amounts and the Class X Certificates represent beneficial ownership
of a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC and the Excess Reserve Fund
Account, which portions of the Trust Fund shall be treated as a grantor trust.

(1) The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date for these
interests is a per annum variable rate equal to the WAC Cap (without
reduction for the Premium Rate).
(2) The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date for the Class
LT-Group I Interest is a per annum variable rate (expressed as a
percentage rounded to eight decimal places) equal to the Loan Group I Cap.
(3) The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date for the Class
LT-Group II Interest is a per annum variable rate (expressed as a
percentage rounded to eight decimal places) equal to the Loan Group II
Cap.
(4) On the Closing Date, the Initial Lower Tier Principal Amount of Class
LT-Group I Interest shall be $995.39534493, and the Initial Lower Tier
Principal Amount of the Class LT-Group II Interest shall be
$1,004.60465507. For all future Distribution Dates, the Principal Balances
of these Lower Tier Regular Interests shall be rounded to eight decimal
places.
(5) The Class LT-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest in the
Lower Tier REMIC and it does not have a principal amount or an interest
rate.
The Lower Tier REMIC shall hold as assets all of the assets included
in the Trust Fund other than the Pre-Funding Account, the Capitalized Interest
Account, Prepayment Charges, the Excess Reserve Fund Account, and the Lower Tier
Regular Interests.
On each Distribution Date, 50% of the increase in the Subordinated
Amount will be payable as a reduction of the principal balances of the LT
Accretion Directed Classes (each such Class will be reduced by an amount equal
to 50% of any increase in the Subordinated Amount that is attributable to a
reduction in the principal balance of its Corresponding Class) and will be
accrued and added to the principal balance of the Class LT-Accrual. On each
Distribution Date, the increase in the principal balance of the Class LT-Accrual
may not exceed interest accruals for such Distribution Date for the Class
LT-Accrual. In the event that: (i) 50% of the increase in the Subordinated
Amount exceeds (ii) interest accruals on the Class LT-Accrual for such
Distribution Date, the excess for such Distribution Date (accumulated with all
such excesses for all prior Distribution Dates) will be added to any increase in
the Subordinated Amount for purposes of determining the amount of interest
accrual on the Class LT-Accrual payable as principal on the LT Accretion
Directed Classes on the next Distribution Date pursuant to the first sentence of
this paragraph. All payments of scheduled principal and prepayments of principal
generated by the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated 50% to (i) the Class
LT-Accrual, the Class LT-Group I Interest and the Class LT-Group II Interest
(and further allocated between these Lower Tier Regular Interests in the manner
described below), and (ii) 50% to the LT Accretion Directed Classes (principal
payments shall be allocated among such LT Accretion Directed Classes in an
amount equal to 50% of the principal amounts allocated to their respective
Corresponding Classes), until paid in full. Notwithstanding the above, principal
payments allocated to the Class X Certificates that result in the reduction in
the Subordinated Amount shall be allocated to the Class LT-Accrual (until paid
in full). Realized Losses shall be applied so that after all distributions have
been made on each Distribution Date (i) the principal balances of each LT
Accretion Directed Classes is equal to 50% of the principal balance of their
Corresponding Class, and (ii) the Class LT-Accrual, the Class LT-Group I
Interest and the Class LT-Group II Interest (and further allocated between these
Lower Tier Regular Interests in the manner described below) is equal to 50% of
the Current Maximum Amount plus 50% of the Subordinated Amount. As between the
Class LT-Accrual, the Class LT-Group I Interest and the Class LT-Group II
Interest, all payments of scheduled principal and prepayments of principal
generated by the Mortgage Loans, and all Realized Losses, allocable to such
Lower Tier Regular Interests shall be allocated (i) to the Class LT-Accrual, in
the same proportion that the then outstanding principal balance of such Lower
Tier Regular Interest bears to the then outstanding aggregate principal balance
of the Class LT-Accrual, the Class LT-Group I Interest and the Class LT-Group II
Interest and (ii) the remainder, to each of the Class LT-Group I Interest and
the Class LT-Group II Interest in the same proportion that the then outstanding
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related loan
group (plus, with respect to the Class LT-Group II Interest, the aggregate
amount on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account immediately prior to such
Distribution Date, net of the Pre-Funding Earnings for such Distribution Date)
bears to the then Current Maximum Amount.
The Upper Tier REMIC shall issue the following classes of Upper Tier
Regular Interests and each such interest, other than the Class UT-R Interest, is
hereby designated as a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC.

(1) The Class A-1 Interest will bear interest during each Interest Accrual
Period at a per annum rate equal to (a) on or prior to the Optional
Termination Date, the least of (i) LIBOR plus 0.460%, (ii) the Loan Group
I Cap and (iii) the WAC Cap or (b) after the Optional Termination Date,
the least of (i) LIBOR plus 0.920%, (ii) the Loan Group I Cap and (iii)
the WAC Cap.
(2) The Class A-2 Interest will bear interest during each Interest Accrual
Period at a per annum rate equal to (a) on or prior to the Optional
Termination Date, the least of (i) LIBOR plus 0.420%, (ii) the Loan Group
II Cap and (iii) the WAC Cap or (b) after the Optional Termination Date,
the least of (i) LIBOR plus 0.840%, (ii) the Loan Group II Cap and (iii)
the WAC Cap.
(3) The Class A-3 Interest will bear interest during each Interest Accrual
Period at a per annum rate equal to (a) on or prior to the Optional
Termination Date, the least of (i) LIBOR plus 0.490%, (ii) the Loan Group
II Cap and (iii) the WAC Cap or (b) after the Optional Termination Date,
the least of (i) LIBOR plus 0.980%, (ii) the Loan Group II Cap and (iii)
the WAC Cap.
(4) The Class M-1, Class M-2, Class B-1 and Class B-2 Interests will bear
interest during each Interest Accrual Period at a per annum rate equal to
(a) on or prior to the Optional Termination Date, the least of (i) LIBOR
plus 0.950%, 2.000%, 3.000% and 3.750%, respectively, and (ii) the WAC Cap
or (b) after the Optional Termination Date, the least of (i) LIBOR plus
1.425%, 3.000%, 4.500% and 5.625%, respectively, and (ii) the WAC Cap.
(5) The Class X Interest has an initial principal balance of $10,965,986, but
it will not accrue interest on such balance but will accrue interest on a
notional principal balance. As of any Distribution Date, the Class X
Interest shall have a notional principal balance equal to the aggregate of
the principal balances of the Lower Tier Regular Interests as of the first
day of the related Interest Accrual Period. With respect to any Interest
Accrual Period, the Class X Interest shall bear interest at a rate equal
to the excess, if any, of the WAC Cap over the product of (i) 2 and (ii)
the weighted average Pass-Through Rate of the Lower Tier REMIC Interests,
where each of the Class LT-Accrual, Class LT-Group I Interest and Class
LT-Group II Interest is subject to a cap equal to zero and each LT
Accretion Directed Class is subject to a cap equal to the Pass-Through
Rate on its Corresponding Class; provided, however, if the Pass-Through
Rate of the Class A-2 Interest is calculated by reference to clause (i) of
its Pass-Through Rate, the cap with respect to the Class LT-A2 Interest
shall be increased by the lesser of the Premium Rate and the amount by
which the amount in clause (ii) of the Pass-Through Rate of the Class A-2
Interest exceeds the amount in clause (i) thereof for purposes of the
calculation. With respect to any Distribution Date, interest that so
accrues on the notional principal balance of the Class X Interest shall be
deferred in an amount equal to any increase in the Subordinated Amount on
such Distribution Date. Such deferred interest shall not itself bear
interest. The Class X Certificates will represent beneficial ownership of
the Class X Interest and amounts in the Excess Reserve Fund Account,
subject to the obligation to make payments from the Excess Reserve Fund
Account in respect of Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts. For federal income
tax purposes, the Trustee will treat a Class X Certificateholder's
obligation to make payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account as
payments made pursuant to an interest rate cap contract written by the
Class X Certificateholders in favor of each Class of LIBOR Certificates.
Such rights of the Class X Certificateholders and LIBOR Certificateholders
shall be treated as held in a portion of the Trust Fund that is treated as
a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code.
(6) The Class UT-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest in the
Upper Tier REMIC. The Class UT-R Interest does not have an interest rate.
(7) Each of these Certificates will represent not only the ownership of the
Corresponding Class of Upper Tier Regular Interest but also the right to
receive payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account in respect of any
Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts. For federal income tax purposes, the
Trustee will treat a Certificateholder's right to receive payments from
the Excess Reserve Fund Account as payments made pursuant to an interest
rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholders.
The minimum denomination for each Class of Certificates, other than
the Class P, Class R and the Class X Certificates, will be $25,000 with integral
multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Class P, Class R and the Class X
Certificates will each represent a 100% Percentage Interest in such class.

categories used herein:

Certificates.

(iii) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or a

where such Mortgage has been delivered for recordation or because such
Mortgage has been lost or because such public recording office retains the

deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, as required under the
Purchase Agreement, a photocopy of such Mortgage, together with (i) in the
case of a delay caused by the public recording office, an Officer's
Certificate of the Originator or a certificate from an escrow company, a
title company or closing attorney stating that such Mortgage has been

office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded intervening
assignment of mortgage will be promptly delivered to the Trustee upon
receipt thereof by the Originator; or (ii) in the case of an intervening
assignment where a public recording office retains the original recorded
intervening assignment or in the case where an intervening assignment is
lost after recordation in a public recording office, a copy of such
intervening assignment certified by such public recording office to be a

From time to time, the Depositor or the Servicer, as applicable,
shall forward to the Trustee additional original documents, additional documents
evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Mortgage
Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement upon receipt of such
documents. All such mortgage documents held by the Trustee as to each Mortgage

jurisdiction is not necessary to protect the Trustee's interest in the related
Mortgage Note or (ii) if the Rating Agencies have each notified the Depositor in

Policy); provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be held responsible or
liable for any loss that occurs because an Assignment of Mortgage was not
recorded, but only to the extent the Servicer has not received prior knowledge
of the act or omission that causes such loss. However, if at any time that
clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence is no longer true or if foreclosure
proceedings occur against a Mortgaged Property, the Depositor shall notify the
Servicer and the Servicer shall record such Assignment of Mortgage at the
expense of the Originator. If the Assignment of Mortgage is to be recorded, the
Mortgage shall be assigned to "Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of October 1, 2002, Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx Capital I Inc. Trust 2002-AM3." In the event that any such
Assignment of Mortgage is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect
therein, the Depositor shall promptly cause to be delivered a substitute
Assignment of Mortgage to cure such defect and thereafter cause each such
assignment to be duly recorded.
On or prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver to the
Trustee a copy of the Data Tape Information in electronic, machine readable
medium in a form mutually acceptable to the Trustee.

related thereto described in paragraph (a) above shall be transferred by
the Depositor to the Trust Fund only upon the satisfaction of each of the
following conditions on or prior to the related Subsequent Transfer Date:

timely Addition Notice, which shall include a Mortgage Loan
Schedule, listing the Subsequent Mortgage Loans, and shall have
provided any other information reasonably requested by any party

withdrawal of the initial ratings on the LIBOR Certificates (such
determination to be made without regard to the Class A-2 Certificate
Insurance Policy).
(iv) In connection with the transfer and assignment of the
Subsequent Mortgage Loans, the Depositor shall satisfy the document

Insurer a Document Certification and Exception Report to the effect that, as to
each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage
Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in such
certification as an exception and not covered by such certification): (i) all
documents required to be delivered to it are in its possession; (ii) such

Section 2.03 Representations and Warranties and Remedies for
Breaches of Representations and Warranties with
Respect to the Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Servicer hereby makes the representations and warranties set
forth in Schedule III hereto to the Depositor, Class A-2 Certificate Insurer and
the Trustee, as of the dates set forth in such schedule.
(b) It is understood and agreed by the Servicer that the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.03 shall survive the
transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee, and shall inure
to the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee notwithstanding any restrictive
or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the
examination or failure to examine any Mortgage File.
(c) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a
representation or warranty made by the Originator under either the Purchase
Agreement or the Assignment Agreement, as applicable, or the Servicer under this
Agreement, as applicable, that materially and adversely affects the value of any
Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein (such
determination to be made without regard to the Class A-2 Certificate Insurance
Policy), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
thereof to the other parties and to the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer. A breach
(i) which causes a Mortgage Loan not to constitute a "qualified mortgage" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or (ii) by the Originator of the
representations and warranties set forth in clause (zz), (aaa) or (bbb) of
Section 9.02 of the Purchase Agreement, will be deemed automatically to
materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in such
Mortgage Loan. Upon receiving written notice of a breach of a representation and
warranty or written notice that a Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified
mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the Trustee
shall in turn notify the Originator in writing to correct or cure, in accordance
with the Purchase Agreement, any such breach of a representation or warranty
made by the Originator under either the Purchase Agreement or the Assignment
Agreement, as applicable, within thirty (30) days from the date of notice from
the Trustee or the discovery by the Originator of the breach, and if the
Originator fails or is unable to correct or cure the defect or breach within
such period, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor of such failure to correct
or cure. Unless otherwise directed by the Depositor within five (5) Business
Days after notifying the Depositor of such failure by the Originator to correct
or cure, the Trustee shall notify the Originator to repurchase the Mortgage Loan
at the Repurchase Price pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Trustee receives notice of
a breach by the Originator of any of the representations and warranties set
forth in clause (zz), (aaa) or (bbb) of Section 9.02 of the Purchase Agreement,
the Trustee shall notify the Originator to repurchase the Mortgage Loan at the
Repurchase Price within thirty (30) days of the Originator's receipt of such
notice. If, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice by the
Originator, the Originator fails to repurchase such Mortgage Loan, the Trustee
shall notify the Depositor of such failure. The Trustee shall pursue all legal
remedies available to the Trustee against the Originator under the Purchase
Agreement if (i) the Trustee has received written notice from the Depositor
directing the Trustee to pursue such remedies and (ii) the Depositor agrees to
provide indemnity to the Trustee for the costs and expenses incurred by the
Trustee in connection with pursuing such remedies, which indemnity shall be
limited solely to the amount that the Depositor is indemnified for by the Trust
Fund pursuant to Section 6.03 in connection with pursuing such remedies.
(d) In the event any Mortgage Loan does not conform to the
requirements as determined in the Trustee's review of the related Custodial
File, the Trustee shall notify the Originator to correct or cure such defect as
required under the Purchase Agreement, and if the Originator fails or is unable
to correct or cure the defect within the period set forth in the Purchase
Agreement, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor of such failure to correct or
cure. Unless otherwise directed by the Depositor within five (5) Business Days
after notifying the Depositor of such failure by the Originator to correct or
cure, the Trustee shall notify the Originator to repurchase the Mortgage Loan at
the Repurchase Price pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. If, within
ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice by the Originator, the
Originator fails to repurchase such Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall notify the
Depositor and the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer of such failure. The Trustee
shall pursue all legal remedies available to the Trustee against the Originator
under the Purchase Agreement if (i) the Trustee has received written notice from
the Depositor directing the Trustee to pursue such remedies and (ii) the
Depositor agrees to provide indemnity to the Trustee for the costs and expenses
incurred by the Trustee in connection with pursuing such remedies, which
indemnity shall be limited solely to the amount that the Depositor is
indemnified for by the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 6.03 in connection with
pursuing such remedies.
(e) Within 90 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice
to the Servicer of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth on
Schedule III hereto that materially and adversely affects the value of the
Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Trustee or the Certificateholders therein
(such determination to be made without regard to the Class A-2 Certificate
Insurance Policy), the Servicer shall use its best efforts to promptly cure such
breach in all material respects and, if such defect or breach cannot be
remedied, the Servicer shall, at the Depositor's option, purchase such Mortgage
Loan at the Repurchase Price.
Any Mortgage Loan repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.03 will be
removed from the Trust Fund. The Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule
for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer
to reflect the removal of any Mortgage Loan repurchased and the Servicer shall
deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the Class A-2
Certificate Insurer.
In the event that the Originator, pursuant to either the Purchase
Agreement or the Assignment Agreement, as applicable, or the Servicer, pursuant
to this Agreement, as applicable, shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the
Repurchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant
to Section 3.10 on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the Originator
or the Servicer, as applicable, became obligated to repurchase such Mortgage
Loan and upon such deposit of the Repurchase Price and receipt of a Request for
Release in the form of Exhibit J hereto, the Trustee shall release the related
Custodial File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Person as
directed by the Servicer, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at such
Person's direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such
Person, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title
from the Trustee.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Originator
under either the Purchase Agreement or the Assignment Agreement, as applicable,
or of the Servicer under this Agreement to cure or repurchase any Mortgage Loan
as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing, together with any related
indemnification obligations, shall constitute the sole remedies against such
Persons respecting such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor,
the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer or the Trustee on their behalf.
The provisions of this Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the
respective Custodial Files to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.
Section 2.04 The Depositor and the Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee and the
Class A-2 Certificate Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the date

Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were

Certificates and for the benefit of the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer (and all
references in this Agreement for the benefit of or actions on behalf of the

Certificate Insurer). The Trustee shall cooperate with all reasonable requests
by the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer for action to preserve or enforce the Class
A-2 Certificate Insurer's rights or interests under this Agreement and the Class
A-2 Certificates.

income tax purposes of all interests created hereby. The "Startup Day" for
purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the Closing Date. The "latest possible
maturity date" is January 25, 2033 which is the Distribution Date following the
latest Mortgage Loan maturity date.
Section 2.07 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01 Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.
(a) For and on behalf of the Certificateholders and for the benefit
of the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer (and all references in this Agreement for
the benefit of or actions on behalf of the Class A-2 Certificateholders shall be
deemed to include the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer), the Servicer shall service
and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and the respective Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with such terms,
in the same manner in which it services and administers similar mortgage loans
for its own portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards
of practice of mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering similar
mortgage loans but without regard to:
(i) any relationship that the Servicer, any Subservicer or any
Affiliate of the Servicer or any Subservicer may have with the related
Mortgagor;
(ii) the ownership or non-ownership of any Certificate by the
Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer;
(iii) the Servicer's obligation to make P&I Advances or Servicing
Advances; or
(iv) the Servicer's or any Subservicer's right to receive
compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any particular
transaction.
To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer shall seek
to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the
Mortgage Notes. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the
terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall
have full power and authority, acting alone or through Subservicers as provided
in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with
such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name
or in the name of a Subservicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in
accordance with the servicing standards set forth above, to execute and deliver
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 and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure
proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the
ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such
properties, on behalf of the Trustee. The Servicer shall service and administer
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law and shall
provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby.
The Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with all
reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any standard hazard
insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.16, the Trustee shall execute, at the
written request of the Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer and any Subservicer
such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or any
Subservicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder,
and the Trustee hereby grants to the Servicer, and this Agreement shall
constitute, a power of attorney to carry out such duties including a power of
attorney to take title to Mortgaged Properties after foreclosure on behalf of
the Trustee. The Trustee shall execute a separate power of attorney in favor of
the Servicer for the purposes described herein to the extent necessary or
desirable to enable the Servicer to perform its duties hereunder. The Trustee
shall not be liable for the actions of the Servicer or any Subservicers under
such powers of attorney.
(b) Subject to Section 3.09(b) hereof, 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 timely payment of
taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be
Servicing Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related collections
from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09(b), and further as provided in
Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Servicer or by Subservicers in effecting
the timely payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not be
added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan
(except as provided in Section 4.01) and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any
modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage
Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except for reductions resulting
from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such
Mortgage Loan (except for a reduction of interest payments resulting from the
application of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Act of 1940, as amended, or any
similar state statutes) or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or amendment of
any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an exchange or
reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or final,
temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause
either the Upper Tier REMIC or the Lower Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a
REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions"
or "contributions after the startup date" under the REMIC Provisions, or (iii)
except as provided in Section 3.07(a), waive any Prepayment Charges.
(d) The Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this
Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the Servicer
from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.
Section 3.02 Subservicing Agreements between the Servicer and
Subservicers.
(a) The Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements with
subservicers (each, a "Subservicer"), for the servicing and administration of
the Mortgage Loans ("Subservicing Agreements"). The Servicer shall, within a
reasonable period of time, give notice to the Trustee and the Class A-2
Certificate Insurer of any such Subservicing Agreement. The Trustee shall not be
required to review or consent to such Subservicing Agreements and shall have no
liability in connection therewith.
(b) Each Subservicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in
the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service
are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the
Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing
Agreement, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan originator by the
Federal Housing Administration or an institution that has deposit accounts
insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage
servicer. Each Subservicing Agreement must impose on the Subservicer
requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide
for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
The Servicer will examine each Subservicing Agreement and will be familiar with
the terms thereof. The terms of any Subservicing Agreement will not be
inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the
Subservicers may enter into and make amendments to the Subservicing Agreements
or enter into different forms of Subservicing Agreements; provided, however,
that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not
violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or
different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected
to be materially adverse to the interests of the Trustee and the Class A-2
Certificate Insurer, without the consent of the Trustee and the Class A-2
Certificate Insurer, respectively. Any variation without the consent of the
Trustee from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating to insurance or
priority requirements of Subservicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the
Subservicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the
Subservicers to the Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with
this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee, the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer and the Depositor copies of all
Subservicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly
upon the Servicer's execution and delivery of such instruments.
Unless a Class A-2 Certificate Insurer Default exists, the Servicer
shall not terminate any Subservicing Agreement without the prior written consent
of the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer.
(c) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer
(except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the
benefit of the Trustee, shall enforce the obligations of each Subservicer under
the related Subservicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any
obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a
Subservicing Agreement. 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 Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of
costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against the party against whom such
enforcement is directed.
Section 3.03 Successor Subservicers.
Subject to Section 3.02(b), the Servicer shall be entitled to
terminate any Subservicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any
Subservicer pursuant to any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms
and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement. In the event of termination of
any Subservicer, all servicing obligations of such Subservicer shall be assumed
simultaneously by the Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such
Subservicer or the Servicer, and the Servicer either shall service directly the
related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a
successor Subservicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any Subservicing Agreement shall include the provision that such
agreement may be immediately terminated by the Depositor or the Trustee without
fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the
Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including termination
due to an Event of Default).
Section 3.04 Liability of the Servicer.
Notwithstanding 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 primarily liable to the Trustee for the
servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by
virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same
terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering
the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with a Subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Subservicer and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.
Section 3.05 No Contractual Relationship between Subservicers
and the Trustee.
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 (or any successor Servicer) shall not be deemed
a party thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or
liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set forth in Section 3.06.
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 3.06 Assumption or Termination of Subservicing
Agreements by Trustee.
In the event the Servicer at any time shall for any reason no longer
be the Servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default),
the Trustee or its designee or the successor Servicer if the successor is not
the Trustee, shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the
Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement that the Servicer may have entered
into, with copies thereof provided to the Trustee or the successor Servicer if
the successor is not the Trustee, prior to the Trustee or the successor Servicer
if the successor is not the Trustee, assuming such rights and obligations,
unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in accordance
with its terms as provided in Section 3.03.
Upon such assumption, the Trustee, its designee or the successor
servicer shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the
Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the Servicer as a party to each
Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Subservicing Agreement had
been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Servicer shall not
thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any Subservicing
Agreement that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer and (ii) none of the
Depositor, the Trustee, their designees or any successor Servicer shall be
deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the Servicer that arose
before it ceased to be the Servicer.
The Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, its
designee or the successor Servicer deliver to the assuming party all documents
and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then
being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf
of it, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient
transfer of the Subservicing Agreements to the assuming party.
Section 3.07 Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
(a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and
shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and
the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such
collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with
the foregoing and Accepted Servicing Practices, the Servicer may (i) waive any
late payment charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the
due dates for the Scheduled Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not
greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above
shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of
any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such
arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Servicer shall make timely
advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.01
and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without
modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, subject to Section 4.01(d)
pursuant to which the Servicer shall not be required to make any such advances
that are Nonrecoverable P&I Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Servicer may waive, in whole or in part, a Prepayment Charge only under the
following circumstances: (i) such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably
foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer,
maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such
Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) such Prepayment Charge
is not permitted to be collected by applicable law. If a Prepayment Charge is
waived other than as permitted by the prior sentence, then the Servicer is
required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of
the Holders of the Class P Certificates, by depositing such amount into the
Collection Account together with and at the time that the amount prepaid on the
related Mortgage Loan is required to be deposited into the Collection Account;
provided, however, that the Servicer shall not have an obligation to pay the
amount of any uncollected Prepayment Charge if the failure to collect such
amount is the direct result of inaccurate or incomplete information on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule in effect at such time.
(b) (i) The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Excess Reserve
Fund Account, on behalf of the Class X Certificateholders, to receive any Basis
Risk Payment and to secure their limited recourse obligation to pay to the LIBOR
Certificateholders Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts.
(ii) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit the amount
of any Basis Risk Payment for such date into the Excess Reserve Fund
Account.
(c) (i) On each Distribution Date on which there exists a Basis Risk
CarryForward Amount on any Class of Certificates, the Trustee shall (1) withdraw
from the Distribution Account and deposit in the Excess Reserve Fund Account, as
set forth in Section 4.02(a)(iii)(K), the lesser of (x) the Class X
Distributable Amount (without regard to the reduction in the definition thereof
with respect to the Basis Risk Payment) (to the extent remaining after the
distributions specified in Sections 4.02(a)(iii)(A)-(J)) and (y) the aggregate
Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts for such Distribution Date and (2) withdraw from
the Excess Reserve Fund Account amounts necessary to pay to such Class or
Classes of Certificates the Basis Risk CarryForward Amount. Such payments shall
be allocated to those Classes on a pro rata basis based upon the amount of Basis
Risk CarryForward Amount owed to each such Class and shall be paid in the
priority set forth in Section 4.02(a)(iii)(L) hereof.
(ii) The Trustee shall account for the Excess Reserve Fund Account
as an asset of a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of the subchapter J
of the Code and not an asset of any REMIC created pursuant to this
Agreement. The beneficial owners of the Excess Reserve Fund Account are
the Class X Certificateholders. For all federal tax purposes, amounts
transferred by the Upper Tier REMIC to the Excess Reserve Fund Account
shall be treated as distributions by the Trustee to the Class X
Certificateholders.
(iii) Any Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts paid by the Trustee to the
LIBOR Certificateholders shall be accounted for by the Trustee as amounts
paid first to the Holders of the Class X Certificates and then to the
respective Class or Classes of LIBOR Certificates. In addition, the
Trustee shall account for the LIBOR Certificateholders' rights to receive
payments of Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts as rights in a limited
recourse interest rate cap contract written by the Class X
Certificateholders in favor of the LIBOR Certificateholders.
(iv) Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not be required to make any payments from the Excess Reserve
Fund Account except as expressly set forth in this Section 3.07(c).
(d) The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Distribution
Account on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee shall, promptly upon
receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account and retain therein the following:
(i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 3.11;
(ii) any amount deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section
3.12(b)(i) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments; and
(iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be
deposited in the Distribution Account.
In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required
to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee in writing to withdraw
such amount from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering notice to the
Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Distribution
Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution 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 4.02.
(e) The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Capitalized
Interest Account on behalf of the Certificateholders. On the Closing Date, the
Trustee shall deposit $3,002,978.63 into the Capitalized Interest Account from
the proceeds of the sale of the Offered Certificates. Withdrawals from the
Capitalized Interest Account shall be made in accordance with Section 4.02(d)
and (e). The Trustee shall account for the Capitalized Interest Account as an
outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h) and
not as an asset of any REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement. The beneficial
owner of the Capitalized Interest Account shall be the Purchaser, who shall be
taxable on all income or gain with respect thereto.
(f) The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Pre-Funding Account
on behalf of the Certificateholders. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
deposit the Original Pre-Funded Amount into the Pre-Funding Account from the
proceeds of the sale of the Offered Certificates. Withdrawals from the
Pre-Funding Account shall be made in accordance with Sections 4.02(e), (f) and
(g).
(g) At the direction of the Purchaser the Trustee shall invest the
funds in the Pre-Funding Account and the Capitalized Interest Account in each
case, in Permitted Investments, which directions shall be in accordance with
Section 3.12.
(h) The Trustee may withdraw from the Distribution Account any
income or gain earned from the investment of funds deposited therein for its own
benefit.
(i) Each Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, each Rating
Agency, the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer and the Depositor of any proposed
change of the location of the related Collection Account not later than 30 days
and not more than 45 days prior to any change thereof.
Section 3.08 Subservicing Accounts.
In those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement, the Subservicer will be required to
establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Subservicing
Account"). The Subservicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall
otherwise be acceptable to the Servicer. The Subservicer shall deposit in the
clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it
customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection
with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
more than one Business Day after the Subservicer's receipt thereof, all proceeds
of Mortgage Loans received by the Subservicer less its servicing compensation to
the extent permitted by the Subservicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit
such amounts in the Subservicing Account, in no event more than two Business
Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account. The Subservicer
shall thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such
proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than
two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Subservicing Account.
For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received
payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Subservicer receives such payments.
Section 3.09 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar
Items; Escrow Accounts.
(a) The Servicer shall enforce the obligations under each
paid-in-full, life-of-the-loan tax service contract in effect with respect to
each Mortgage Loan (each, a "Tax Service Contract").
(b) To the extent that the services described in this paragraph (b)
are not otherwise provided pursuant to the Tax Service Contracts described in
paragraph (a) hereof, the Servicer undertakes to perform such functions. The
Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and
maintained, one or more accounts (the "Escrow Accounts"), which shall be
Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which
account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments
and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing
activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after
the Servicer's receipt thereof, all collections from the Mortgagors (or related
advances from Subservicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard
insurance premiums and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors
("Escrow Payments") collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall
thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the Escrow Accounts, in no event more
than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds in the clearing account,
for the purpose of effecting the payment of any such items as required under the
terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from an Escrow Account may be
made only to (i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance
premiums, and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Servicer (or a Subservicer to
the extent provided in the related Subservicing Agreement) out of related
collections for any advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to
taxes and assessments) and Section 3.13 (with respect to hazard insurance);
(iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv)
pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in
the Escrow Account; (v) clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the
termination of the Servicer's obligations and responsibilities in respect of the
Mortgage Loans under this Agreement; or (vi) recover amounts deposited in error.
As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer or Subservicers shall pay to the
Mortgagors interest on funds in Escrow Accounts, to the extent required by law
and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Accounts is
insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any
reimbursement therefor. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for
Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine whether any such payments are made
by the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged
Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure of a tax lien. The Servicer
assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills within such time
and shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's
faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments
and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments; provided,
however, that such advances are deemed to be Servicing Advances.
Section 3.10 Collection Account.
(a) On behalf of the Trustee, the Servicer shall establish and
maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more Eligible
Accounts (such account or accounts, the "Collection Account"), held in trust for
the benefit of the Trustee. On behalf of the Trustee, the Servicer shall deposit
or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an
Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on
mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a
daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer's
receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in no
event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the
clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the
following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the
related Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest on the
related Mortgage Loans due on or before the related Cut-off Date), or payments
(other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the related
Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related
Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds to the extent
such Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds are not to be applied to
the restoration of the related Mortgaged Property or released to the
related Mortgagor in accordance with the express requirements of law or in
accordance with prudent and customary servicing practices and Liquidation
Proceeds;
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12
in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments with
respect to funds held in the Collection Account;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to
the second paragraph of Section 3.13(a) in respect of any blanket policy
deductibles;
(vi) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in
accordance with this Agreement; and
(vii) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts
shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, NSF
fees, reconveyance fees, assumption fees and other similar fees and charges need
not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and shall, upon
collection, belong to the Servicer as additional compensation for its servicing
activities. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account
any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw
such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
(b) Funds in the Collection Account may be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The
Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer and
the Depositor of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when
established and prior to any change thereof.
Section 3.11 Withdrawals from the Collection Account.
(a) The Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the
Collection Account for any of the following purposes or as described in Section
4.01:
(i) On or prior to the Remittance Date, to remit to the Trustee (i)
the Trustee Fee with respect to such Distribution Date and (ii) all
Available Funds in respect of the related Distribution Date together with
all amounts representing Prepayment Charges from the Mortgage Loans
received during the related Prepayment Period;
(ii) to reimburse the Servicer for P&I Advances, but only to the
extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of the
related Servicing Fees) of Monthly Payments on Mortgage Loans with respect
to which such P&I Advances were made in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.01;
(iii) to pay the Servicer or any Subservicer (a) any unpaid
Servicing Fees or (b) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to
each Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of any Late Collections,
Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or other
amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from a Mortgagor, or otherwise
received with respect to such Mortgage Loan (or the related REO Property);
(iv) to pay to the Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition
to the Servicing Fee) on the Remittance Date any interest or investment
income earned on funds deposited in the Collection Account;
(v) to pay to the Originator or the Servicer, as applicable, with
respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously been repurchased
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, respectively, all
amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase;
(vi) to reimburse the Servicer for any P&I Advance or Servicing
Advance previously made which the Servicer has determined to be a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01;
(vii) to pay, or to reimburse the Servicer for advances in respect
of, expenses incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to
Section 3.15;
(viii) to reimburse the Servicer or the Depositor for expenses
incurred by or reimbursable to the Servicer or the Depositor, as the case
may be, pursuant to Section 6.03;
(ix) to reimburse the Servicer, the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer or
the Trustee, as the case may be, for expenses reasonably incurred in
respect of the breach or defect giving rise to the repurchase obligation
of the Originator or the Servicer, as applicable, that were included in
the Repurchase Price of the Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising
out of the enforcement of the repurchase obligation, to the extent not
otherwise paid pursuant to the terms hereof;
(x) to withdraw any amounts deposited in the Collection Account in
error;
(xi) to withdraw any amounts held in the Collection Account and not
required to be remitted to the Trustee on the Remittance Date occurring in
the month in which such amounts are deposited into the Collection Account,
to reimburse the Servicer for xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances; and
(xii) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon termination
of this Agreement.
(b) 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 Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of
it, pursuant to subclauses (a)(ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix)
above. The Servicer shall provide written notification to the Depositor, on or
prior to the next succeeding Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from
the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (a)(vii) above.
Section 3.12 Investment of Funds in the Accounts.
(a) The Servicer may direct the Trustee to invest the funds in the
Collection Account and the Trustee may invest funds in the Distribution Account
and the Purchaser may direct the Trustee in writing to invest the funds in the
Pre-Funding Account or the Capitalized Interest Account (for purposes of this
Section 3.12, such Accounts are referred to as an "Investment Account"), in one
or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and
maturing, unless payable on demand no later than the Business Day immediately
preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such
account pursuant to this Agreement. If no investment instruction is given in a
timely manner, the Trustee shall hold the funds in the Pre-Funding Account and
the Capitalized Interest Account uninvested. All such Permitted Investments
shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in
an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee. The Trustee
shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to investment
direction of funds held in the related Account and any income and gain realized
thereon) over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument
evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its
agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to
such investment to the Trustee. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment
Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand,
the Trustee may:
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder,
demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such
Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an
amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable
thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such
date; and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder that such
Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted
Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the
Investment Account.
(b) (i) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer, shall
be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in the
manner set forth in Section 3.11. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection
Account, the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such
Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon
realization of such loss.
(ii) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Pre-Funding Account and the Capitalized Interest Account
held by or on behalf of the Purchaser shall be retained in such Investment
Account, subject to withdrawal as provided in Section 4.02. Whether in
regard to the Pre-Funding Account or the Capitalized Interest Account, the
Depositor shall cause the Purchaser to deposit in the Pre-Funding Account
or the Capitalized Interest Account, as applicable, the amount of any loss
of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made
with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of such loss.
(c) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Distribution Account held by the Trustee, shall be for the
benefit of the Trustee and shall be subject to its withdrawal in the manner set
forth in Section 3.07(e). The Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account,
the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted
Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of such
loss.
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or
if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted
Investment, the Trustee shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce
such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of
appropriate proceedings. The Trustee shall not be liable for the amount of any
loss incurred in respect of any investment or lack of investment of funds held
in any Investment Account or the Distribution Account if made in accordance with
this Section 3.12.
Section 3.13 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors and
Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.
(a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan
fire insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an
amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the current principal balance
of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any
damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a
replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements
which are a part of such Mortgaged Property, in each case in an amount not less
than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance
clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Servicer shall also
cause to be maintained fire insurance with extended coverage on each REO
Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum
insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii)
the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it
became an REO Property, plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Rate and related
Servicing Advances. The Servicer will comply in the performance of this
Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any
such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Servicer under any such
policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the
property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the Servicer would follow in
servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of
the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by
the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of
calculating distributions to the Trustee, be added to the unpaid principal
balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such
Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other
additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to
such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as
shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO
Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood
insurance has been made available, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a
flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the
related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming
that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in
such program).
In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket
policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of A:X or better in Best's
(or such other rating that is comparable to such rating) insuring against hazard
losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have
satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this
Section 3.13, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a
deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there
shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property
a policy complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.13, and there
shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy,
deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise
payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In
connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage
Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the
Trustee claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance
with the terms of such policy.
(b) The Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this
Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for
failure in the performance of the Servicer's obligations under this Agreement,
which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the
requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or FHLMC if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage
Loans, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond in
the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx
Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee with copies of any
such insurance policies and fidelity bond. The Servicer shall be deemed to have
complied with this provision if an Affiliate of the Servicer has such errors and
omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy
or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any
such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be
cancelable without thirty days' prior written notice to the Trustee. The
Servicer shall also cause each Subservicer to maintain a policy of insurance
covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet such
requirements.
Section 3.14 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses Assumption
Agreements.
The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance
or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by
absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor
remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage),
exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the
"due-on-sale" clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the
Servicer shall not be required to take such action if, in its sole business
judgment, the Servicer believes it is not in the best interests of the Trust
Fund and shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so.
If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce
such "due-on-sale" clause or if any of the other conditions set forth in the
proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter into an
assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such
property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such
person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by
applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is also
authorized 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 the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage
Note, provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person
satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Servicer, has a credit risk rating at
least equal to that of the original Mortgagor. In connection with any
assumption, modification or substitution, the Servicer shall apply such
underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures as shall be
normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies
to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter
into any assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent
practicable in the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in
writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance
policy, or a new policy meeting the requirements of this Section is obtained.
Any fee collected by the Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of
liability agreement will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing
compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the
Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the
amount of the Scheduled Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise
required pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee
that any such substitution, modification or assumption agreement has been
completed by forwarding to the Trustee the executed original of such
substitution or assumption agreement, which document 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of
this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any
other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a
Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any
assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any
reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.14, the term "assumption" is
deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the
Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
Section 3.15 Realization upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with customary
servicing practices as described in Section 3.01, to foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert (which may include an acquisition of REO Property) the
ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and
continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for
collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07, and which are not
released from this Agreement pursuant to any other provision hereof. The
Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to realize upon such defaulted Mortgage
Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by
the Trustee, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure
proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in
which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an uninsured cause, the
Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of
such property unless it shall determine in its sole discretion (i) that such
restoration will increase the net proceeds of liquidation of the related
Mortgage Loan to the Trustee, after reimbursement to itself for such expenses,
and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through
Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the
related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 3.11. The Servicer shall
be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such
proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement
thereof from the related property, as contemplated in Section 3.11.
The proceeds of any liquidation or REO Disposition, as well as any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds or any income from an REO Property, will be
applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer or
any Subservicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, pursuant to
Section 3.11 or 3.17; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage
Loan or REO Imputed Interest, at the Mortgage Rate, to the date of the
liquidation or REO Disposition, or to the Due Date prior to the Remittance Date
on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a
liquidation or REO Disposition; third, to reimburse the Servicer for any related
xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11; and fourth, as a recovery
of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to
interest is less than a full recovery thereof, that amount will be allocated as
follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, as interest at the
Mortgage Rate (net of the Servicing Fee Rate). The portion of the recovery so
allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Servicer or any
Subservicer pursuant to Section 3.11 or 3.17. The portions of the recovery so
allocated to interest at the Mortgage Rate (net of the Servicing Fee Rate) and
to principal of the Mortgage Loan shall be applied as follows: first, to
reimburse the Servicer or any Subservicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing
Advances in accordance with Section 3.11 or 3.17, and second, to the Trustee in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02, subject to the last paragraph of
Section 3.17 with respect to certain excess recoveries from an REO Disposition.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in
connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in
the event the Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of
the presence of, hazardous or toxic substances or wastes on the related
Mortgaged Property, or if the Trustee otherwise requests, the Servicer shall
cause an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property to be
conducted by a qualified inspector. Upon completion of the inspection, the
Servicer shall promptly provide the Trustee and the Depositor with a written
report of the environmental inspection.
After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the Depositor
shall determine how the Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged
Property. In the event (a) the environmental inspection report indicates that
the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or
wastes and (b) the Depositor directs the Servicer to proceed with foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall be reimbursed
for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean-up costs, as
applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation
Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse the Servicer, the Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 3.11 hereof. In the event the Depositor directs the Servicer not to
proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the
Servicer shall be reimbursed from general collections for all Servicing Advances
made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof.
Section 3.16 Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by
the Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a
manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will, within five (5) Business
Days of the payment in full, notify the Trustee by a certification (which
certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received
or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be
deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will
be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the
Custodial File by submitting a Request for Release to the Trustee. Upon receipt
of such certification and Request for Release, the Trustee shall promptly
release the related Custodial File to the Servicer within two (2) Business Days.
No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed
of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall, upon
request of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee, of a Request for Release,
release the related Custodial File to the Servicer, and the Trustee shall, at
the direction of the Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to
the prosecution of any such proceedings and the Servicer shall retain the
Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of the Trustee. Such Request for Release
shall obligate the Servicer to return each and every document previously
requested from the Custodial File to the Trustee when the need therefor by the
Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the
Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the
Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to
an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law,
for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the
foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and
the Servicer has delivered to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer
certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File
or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.
Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage
Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the
Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become
an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release of Documents shall be
released by the Trustee to the Servicer or its designee upon request therefor.
Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall
execute and deliver to the Servicer copies of any court pleadings, requests for
trustee's sale or other documents reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or
trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought
to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to
obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights
provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in
equity, or shall exercise and deliver to the Servicer a power of attorney
sufficient to authorize the Servicer to execute such documents on its behalf.
Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents
be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or
pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the
Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except
for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or
trustee's sale.
Section 3.17 Title, Conservation and Disposition of REO
Property.
(a) This Section shall apply only to REO Properties acquired for the
account of the Trustee and shall not apply to any REO Property relating to a
Mortgage Loan which was purchased or repurchased from the Trustee pursuant to
any provision hereof. In the event that title to any such REO Property is
acquired, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Servicer, or to
its nominee, on behalf of the Trustee.
(b) The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each
REO Property for the Trustee solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition
and sale. The Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the
Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the 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. The Servicer shall attempt to
sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same for a period not greater than
one year, except as otherwise provided below) on such terms and conditions as
the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trustee. The Servicer shall
notify the Trustee from time to time as to the status of each REO Property.
(c) The Servicer shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO
Property as soon as possible (subject to the Trustee's right to veto any
proposed sale of REO Property) and shall sell such REO Property in any event
within one year after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the
Servicer determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Trustee to such
effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such
REO Property. If a period longer than one year is permitted under the foregoing
sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Servicer shall report
monthly to the Trustee as to the progress being made in selling such REO
Property. Notwithstanding its veto rights, the Trustee has no obligation with
respect to REO Dispositions.
(d) [Reserved.]
(e) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart
from its own funds and general assets and shall deposit such funds in the
Collection Account.
(f) The Servicer shall deposit net of reimbursement to the Servicer
for any related outstanding Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees
provided in Section 3.11 hereof, or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in
the Collection Account all revenues received with respect to the related REO
Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation,
management and maintenance of the REO Property.
(g) The Servicer, upon an REO Disposition, shall be entitled to
reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances as well as any
unpaid Servicing Fees from proceeds received in connection with the REO
Disposition, as further provided in Section 3.11.
(h) Any net proceeds from an REO Disposition which are in excess of
the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, plus all unpaid REO
Imputed Interest thereon through the date of the REO Disposition shall be
retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
(i) The Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to sell, or
cause the Subservicer to sell, any REO Property as soon as possible, but in no
event later than the conclusion of the third calendar year beginning after the
year of its acquisition by the Lower Tier REMIC unless (i) the Servicer applies
for an extension of such period from the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to
the REMIC Provisions and Code Section 856(e)(3), in which event such REO
Property shall be sold within the applicable extension period, or (ii) the
Servicer obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the
Lower Tier REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to such period will not result
in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section
860F of the Code or cause the Lower Tier REMIC or Upper Tier REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or comparable provisions of
relevant state laws at any time. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect
and operate each REO Property for the Trustee solely for the purpose of its
prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property
to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(8) or result in the receipt by the Lower Tier REMIC of any "income from
non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or
any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under
Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO
Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the
Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such
extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and
may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Trustee
on behalf of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the
Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property;
provided, however, that any rent received or accrued with respect to such REO
Property qualifies as "rents from real property" as defined in Section 856(d) of
the Code.
Section 3.18 Notification of Adjustments.
With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Servicer
shall adjust the Mortgage Rate on the related Adjustment Date and shall adjust
the Scheduled Payment on the related mortgage payment adjustment date, if
applicable, in compliance with the requirements of applicable law and the
related Mortgage and Mortgage Note. The Servicer shall execute and deliver any
and all necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the
related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Rate and Scheduled
Payment adjustments. The Servicer shall promptly, upon written request therefor,
deliver to the Trustee such notifications and any additional applicable data
regarding such adjustments and the methods used to calculate and implement such
adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Servicer or the receipt of notice from
the Trustee that the Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Rate or Scheduled
Payment in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note, the Servicer
shall deposit in the Collection Account from its own funds the amount of any
interest loss caused as such interest loss occurs.
Section 3.19 Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Mortgage Loans.
In the event the Servicer reasonably believes that compliance with
this Section will make the Mortgage Loans legal for investment by federally
insured savings and loan associations, the Servicer shall provide, or cause the
Subservicer to provide, to the Depositor, the Trustee, the OTS or the FDIC and
the examiners and supervisory agents thereof access to the documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans in its possession required by applicable
regulations of the OTS. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only
upon reasonable and prior written request and during normal business hours at
the offices of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or any Subservicer.
Nothing in this Section shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer, the
Depositor, the Trustee or any Subservicer to observe any applicable law
prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure
of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or any Subservicer to provide access
as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute
a breach of this Section.
Section 3.20 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the
Servicer to Be Held for the Trustee.
The Servicer shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds
received by the Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the Servicer as
Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of
any Mortgage Loan. 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 Collection 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 create,
incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the
Collection Account, the Distribution 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, 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 3.21 Servicing Compensation.
(a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer
shall, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, be entitled to retain from deposits
to the Collection Account and from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds and REO Proceeds related to such Mortgage Loan, the Servicing
Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan (less any portion of such amounts
retained by any Subservicer). In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to
recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of related late collections to the extent
permitted in Section 3.11. The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be
transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of
the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any amounts due to a
Subservicer pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement entered into under Section
3.02.
(b) Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption or
modification fees, late payment charges, NSF fees, reconveyance fees and other
similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by
the Servicer only to the extent such fees or charges are received by the
Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to
withdraw from the Collection Account, as additional servicing compensation,
interest or other income earned on deposits therein.
(c) The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by
it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of
premiums for any blanket policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to
Section 3.13, servicing compensation of the Subservicer to the extent not
retained by it and the fees and expenses of independent accountants and any
agents appointed by the Servicer), and shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor except as specifically provided in Section 3.11.
Section 3.22 Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Servicer will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Depositor,
the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer, the Rating Agencies and the Trustee on or
before March 1st of each calendar year, commencing in 2003, an Officers'
Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance
under this Agreement or a similar agreement has been made under such officers'
supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such
review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of 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 officers and the
nature and status thereof. Promptly after receipt of such Officer's Certificate,
the Depositor shall review such Officer's Certificate and, if applicable,
consult with the Servicer as to the nature of any defaults by the Servicer in
the fulfillment of any of the Servicer's obligations.
Section 3.23 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Statement; Financial Statements.
Not later than March 1st of each calendar year commencing in 2003,
the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of
independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Rating Agencies, the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer and the Trustee
a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding
certain matters from the management of the Servicer which includes an assertion
that the Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential mortgage loan
servicing standards, identified in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America,
with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the most
recently completed fiscal year and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted
by such firm in accordance with standards established by the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated in all
material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that may
be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may rely, as to matters
relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage loans by Subservicers,
upon comparable reports of firms of independent certified public accountants
rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with the same
standards (rendered within one year of such report) with respect to those
Subservicers. Promptly after receipt of such report, the Depositor shall review
such report and, if applicable, consult with the Servicer as to the nature of
any defaults by the Servicer in the fulfillment of any of the Servicer's
obligations.
Section 3.24 Trustee to Act as Servicer.
In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee or
its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the
Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i)
liable for losses of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10 or any acts or
omissions of the predecessor Servicer hereunder), (ii) obligated to make
Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to
effectuate repurchases of Mortgage Loans hereunder, including but not limited to
repurchases pursuant to Section 2.03, (iv) responsible for expenses of the
Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03 or (v) deemed to have made any representations
and warranties of the Servicer hereunder. Any such assumption shall be subject
to Section 7.02.
Every subservicing agreement entered into by the Servicer shall
contain a provision giving the successor Servicer the option to terminate such
agreement in the event a successor Servicer is appointed.
If the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer
(including by reason of any Event of Default), the Trustee (or any other
successor Servicer) may, at its option, succeed to any rights and obligations of
the Servicer under any subservicing agreement in accordance with the terms
thereof; provided that the Trustee (or any other successor Servicer) shall not
incur any liability or have any obligations in its capacity as successor
Servicer under a subservicing agreement arising prior to the date of such
succession unless it expressly elects to succeed to the rights and obligations
of the Servicer thereunder; and the Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of
any liability or obligations under the subservicing agreement arising prior to
the date of such succession.
The Servicer 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 (if any) and the Mortgage Loans then
being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected held by it and
otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of
the subservicing agreement to the assuming party.

furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing

(b) The Servicer shall comply with Title V of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx

aggregate amount of Scheduled Payments (with each interest portion thereof net
of the related Servicing Fee), due during the Due Period immediately preceding
such Remittance Date in respect of the Mortgage Loans, which Scheduled Payments
were not received as of the close of business on the Business Day preceding the
related Determination Date, plus (ii) with respect to each REO Property, which
REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related Prepayment Period and

the related Mortgage Loans, over the net income from such REO Property
transferred to the Collection Account for distribution on such Remittance Date.
(b) On the Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit in immediately
available funds to the Trustee an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I
Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
for the related Remittance Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the
Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution
(in which case, it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of
Collection Account that Amounts Held For Future Distribution have been, as
permitted by this Section 4.01, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such
P&I Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating
the total amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect to the

removal thereof from coverage under this Agreement, except as otherwise provided
in this Section.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance
or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if
such P&I Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the
Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance, or that any proposed P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, if
made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate
of the Servicer delivered to the Trustee.
(e) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Servicer shall be
entitled to reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof for Servicing Advances

deposit in the Distribution Account the amount on deposit in the Pre-Funding
Account other than any Pre-Funding Earnings; if the Pre-Funding Amount available

the information set forth in clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) and (a)(vii) of this
Section 4.03 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 effect.
(d) Not later than the related Determination Date, the Servicer

Section 4.04 Certain Matters Relating to the Determination of LIBOR.
LIBOR shall be calculated in accordance with the definition of
LIBOR. Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Trustee will at
all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of determining
LIBOR with respect to each LIBOR Determination Date. The Trustee initially shall
designate the Reference Banks (after consultation with the Depositor). Each
"Reference Bank" shall be a leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar
deposits in the international Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be
controlled by, or be under common control with, the Trustee and shall have an
established place of business in London. If any such Reference Bank should be
unwilling or unable to act as such or if the Trustee should terminate its
appointment as Reference Bank, the Trustee shall promptly appoint or cause to be
appointed another Reference Bank after consultation with the Depositor. The
Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the
selection of any Reference Bank for purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any
inability to retain at least four Reference Banks which is caused by
circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each
Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Trustee on each LIBOR
Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates are outstanding on the
basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding
to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the
Preliminary Statement. The Trustee shall not have any liability or
responsibility to any Person for its inability, following a good-faith
reasonable effort, to obtain quotations from the Reference Banks or to determine
the arithmetic mean referred to in the definition of LIBOR, all as provided for
in this Section 4.04 and the definition of LIBOR. The establishment of LIBOR and
each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates by the Trustee shall (in the
absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of
a Certificate and the Trustee.
Section 4.05 Allocation of Applied Realized Loss Amounts. Any
Applied Realized Loss Amounts will be allocated to the most junior Class of
Subordinate Certificates then outstanding in reduction of the Class Certificate
Balance thereof.
Section 4.06 The Class A-2 Certificate Insurance Policy. (a) Not
later than two (2) Business Days prior to each Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall determine with respect to such Distribution Date, the amount to be on
deposit in the Distribution Account on such Distribution Date to the extent of
Available Funds, excluding the amount of any Insured Payment.
(b) If on any Distribution Date there is a Class A-2 Certificate
Deficiency Amount, the Trustee shall complete a notice in the form of Exhibit A
to the Class A-2 Certificate Insurance Policy and submit such notice to the
Class A-2 Certificate Insurer no later than 12:00 noon New York City time on the
second Business Day preceding such Distribution Date as a claim for an Insured
Payment in an amount equal to such Class A-2 Certificate Deficiency Amount.
(c) The Trustee shall establish a separate Eligible Account for the
benefit of Holders of the Class A-2 Certificates and the Class A-2 Certificate
Insurer referred to herein as the "Policy Payment Account" over which the
Trustee shall have exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal. The Trustee
shall deposit upon receipt any amount paid under the Class A-2 Certificate
Insurance Policy in the Policy Payment Account and distribute such amount only
for purposes of payment to the Class A-2 Certificateholders of the Insured
Payment for which a claim was made and such amount may not be applied to satisfy
any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust
Fund or to pay any other Class of Certificates. Amounts paid under the Class A-2
Certificate Insurance Policy, to the extent needed to pay the Class A-2
Certificate Deficiency Amount, shall be transferred to the Distribution Account
on the related Distribution Date and disbursed by the Trustee to the Class A-2
Certificateholders in accordance with Section 4.02. It shall not be necessary
for such payments to be made by checks or wire transfers separate from the
checks or wire transfers used to pay other distributions to the Class A-2
Certificateholders with other funds available to make such payment. However, the
amount of any payment of principal or of interest on the Class A-2 Certificates
to be paid from funds transferred from the Policy Payment Account shall be noted
as provided in paragraph (d) below and in the statement to be furnished to
Holders of the Class A-2 Certificates and the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer
pursuant to Section 4.03(a). Funds held in the Policy Payment Account shall not
be invested. Any funds remaining in the Policy Payment Account on the first
Business Day following a Distribution Date shall be returned to the Class A-2
Certificate Insurer in immediately available funds pursuant to the written
instructions of the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer by the end of such Business
Day.
(d) The Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of the
amount of interest and principal paid in respect of any Class A-2 Certificate
from moneys received under the Class A-2 Certificate Insurance Policy. The Class
A-2 Certificate Insurer shall have the right to inspect such records at
reasonable times during normal business hours upon one Business Day's prior
notice to the Trustee.
(e) In the event that the Trustee has received a certified copy of
an order of the appropriate court that any Insured Payment has been voided in
whole or in part as a preference payment under applicable bankruptcy law, the
Trustee shall so notify the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer, shall comply with the
provisions of the Class A-2 Certificate Insurance Policy to obtain payment by
the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer of such voided Insured Payment, and shall, at
the time it provides notice to the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer, notify, by
mail to the Class A-2 Certificateholders of the affected Certificates that, in
the event any Class A-2 Certificateholder's Insured Payment is so recovered,
such Class A-2 Certificateholder will be entitled to payment pursuant to the
Class A-2 Certificate Insurance Policy, a copy of which shall be made available
through the Trustee and the Trustee shall furnish to the Class A-2 Certificate
Insurer or its fiscal agent, if any, its records evidencing the payments which
have been made by the Trustee and subsequently recovered from the Class A-2
Certificateholders (if known by the Trustee), and dates on which such payments
were made.
(f) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Class A-2 Certificate
Insurer and its fiscal agent of any proceeding or the institution of any action,
of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, seeking the
avoidance as a preferential transfer under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or similar law (a "Preference Claim") of any distribution made with
respect to the Class A-2 Certificates. Each Class A-2 Certificateholder, by its
purchase of Class A-2 Certificates, the Servicer and the Trustee agree that, the
Class A-2 Certificate Insurer (so long as no Class A-2 Certificate Insurer
Default exists) may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding
relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference
Claim, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any
order relating to such Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety,
supersedeas or performance bond pending any such appeal. In addition and without
limitation of the foregoing, the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer shall be
subrogated to, and each Class A-2 Certificateholder and the Trustee hereby
delegates and assigns to the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, the rights of the Trustee and each Class A-2
Certificateholder in the conduct of any such Preference Claim, including,
without limitation, all rights of any party to any adversary proceeding or
action with respect to any court order issued in connection with any such
Preference Claim.
(g) The Trustee shall, upon retirement of the Class A-2
Certificates, furnish to the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer a notice of such
retirement, and, upon retirement of the Class A-2 Certificates, surrender the
Class A-2 Certificate Insurance Policy to the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer for
cancellation.
(h) The Trustee will hold the Class A-2 Certificate Insurance Policy
in trust as agent for the Holders of the Class A-2 Certificates for the purpose
of making claims thereon and distributing the proceeds thereof. Neither the
Class A-2 Certificate Insurance Policy nor the amounts paid on the Class A-2
Certificate Insurance Policy will constitute part of the Trust Fund created by
this Agreement. Each Holder of Class A-2 Certificates, by accepting its Class
A-2 Certificates, appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for the purpose of
making claims on the Class A-2 Certificate Insurance Policy.
(i) The Servicer shall designate a Servicing Officer who shall be
available to the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer to provide reasonable access to
information regarding the Mortgage Loans. The initial designated Servicing
Officer is Xxxxx Xxxxxx.
(j) All references herein to the ratings assigned to the
Certificates and to the interests of any Certificateholder shall be without
regard to the Class A-2 Certificate Insurance Policy.
(k) For so long as there is not continuing default by the Class A-2
Certificate Insurer under its obligations under the Class A-2 Certificate
Insurance Policy, each Holder of a Class A-2 Certificate agrees that the Class
A-2 Certificate Insurer shall be entitled to exercise the voting, consent,
directing and other control rights of the Holders of the Class A-2 Certificates
without consent of such Holders and the Holders of the Class A-2 Certificates
shall only exercise such rights with the prior written consent of the Class 2
Certificate Insurer.
Section 4.07 Effect of Payments by the Class A-2 Certificate
Insurer; Subrogation. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, solely
for purposes of determining the Class A-2 Insurer's rights as subrogee for
payments distributed pursuant to Section 4.02, any payment with respect to
principal of or interest on the Class A-2 Certificates which is made with moneys
received pursuant to the terms of the Class A-2 Certificate Insurance Policy
shall not be considered payment of the Class A-2 Certificates from the Trust
Fund. The Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee acknowledge, and each Holder
by its acceptance of a Class A-2 Certificate agrees, that without the need for
any further action on the part of the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer, the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar (a) to the
extent the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer makes payments, directly or indirectly,
on account of principal of or interest on the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class
A-2 Certificate Insurer will be fully subrogated to, and each Class A-2
Certificateholder, the Servicer and the Trustee hereby delegate and assign to
the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the
rights of such Holders to receive such principal and interest from the Trust
Fund, including, without limitation, any amounts due to the Class A-2
Certificateholders in respect of securities law violations arising from the
offer and sale of the Class A-2 Certificates, and (b) the Class A-2 Certificate
Insurer shall be paid such amounts from the sources and in the manner provided
herein for the payment of such amounts and as provided in this Agreement. The
Trustee and the Servicer shall cooperate in all respects with any reasonable
request by the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer for action to preserve or enforce
the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer's rights or interests under this Agreement
without limiting the rights or affecting the interests of the Holders as
otherwise set forth herein.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 The Certificates.
The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto
as exhibits. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the
minimum denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one
Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be in
excess of the applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per
Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement.
The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to register on November 1,
2002 the Class X Certificates and the Class P Certificates as follows: "Deutsche
Bank National Trust Company, as Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders
of the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx Capital I Inc. NIM Trust 2002-AM3," and to
deliver such Class X Certificates and Class P Certificates to Deutsche Bank
National Trust Company, as trustee of the NIM Trust.
Subject to Section 9.02 respecting the final distribution on the
Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to
each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such holder at a bank
or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder has so
notified the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related Record
Date or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the
address of such holder appearing in the Certificate Register.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time 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 countersignature and delivery of any such
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid
for any purpose, unless countersigned by the Trustee by manual signature, and
such countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the
only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their countersignature.
On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall countersign the Certificates to be issued
at the direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.
The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee
on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate
transfers.
Section 5.02 Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and
Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06, a Certificate Register for the
Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below
and 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. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever
any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the
holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but 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 may be required.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in
accordance with the Trustee's customary procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. In
determining whether a transfer is being made pursuant to an effective
registration statement, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely solely upon a
written notice to such effect from the Depositor. Except with respect to the
transfer of the Class X and Class P Certificates to the NIM Trust on the Closing
Date, in the event that a transfer of a Private Certificate which is a Physical
Certificate is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act
and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such
laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall certify to
the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the
form set forth in Exhibit H (the "Transferor Certificate") and either (i) there
shall be delivered to the Trustee a letter in substantially the form of Exhibit
I (the "Rule 144A Letter") or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee at
the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be
made without registration under the Securities Act. In the event that a transfer
of a Private Certificate which is a Book-Entry Certificate is to be made in
reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to
assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder
desiring to effect such transfer will be deemed to have made as of the transfer
date each of the certifications set forth in the Transferor Certificate in
respect of such Certificate and the transferee will be deemed to have made as of
the transfer date each of the certifications set forth in the Rule 144A Letter
in respect of such Certificate, in each case as if such Certificate were
evidenced by a Physical Certificate. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder
of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee 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 Securities Act pursuant to the
registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and the Servicer shall
cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced
in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information
regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the
Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation
under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to
effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the
Depositor and the Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer
is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
Except with respect to the transfer of the Class X and Class P
Certificates to the NIM Trust on the Closing Date, no transfer of an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have
received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate
acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee (in the
event such Certificate is a Private Certificate or a Residual Certificate, such
requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee's receipt of a representation
letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I), to the
effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement
subject to Section 406 of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a
plan subject to any Federal, state or local law ("Similar Law") materially
similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code, nor a person acting on
behalf of any such plan or arrangement nor using the assets of any such plan or
arrangement to effect such transfer, or (ii) in the case of an ERISA-Restricted
Certificate other than a Residual Certificate or a Class P Certificate that has
been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, and the purchaser is an
insurance company, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company
that is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an "insurance
company general account" (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60")) and that the purchase and
holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60
or (iii) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than a
Residual Certificate or Class P Certificate presented for registration in the
name of an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan or
arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any
subsequent enactments), or a plan subject to Similar Law, or a trustee of any
such plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement
or using such plan's or arrangement's assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory
to the Trustee and the Servicer, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trustee, the Servicer or the Trust Fund, addressed to the
Trustee, to the effect that the purchase or holding of such ERISA-Restricted
Certificate will not result in the assets of the Trust Fund being deemed to be
"plan assets" and subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and
the Code or similar violation of Similar Law and will not subject the Trustee or
the Servicer to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this
Agreement or to any liability. For purposes of the preceding sentence, with
respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Private Certificate or
a Residual Certificate, in the event the representation letter referred to in
the preceding sentence is not furnished, such representation shall be deemed to
have been made to the Trustee by the transferee's (including an initial
acquirer's) acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. Notwithstanding
anything else to the contrary herein, (a) any purported transfer of an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate, other than a Class P Certificate or Residual
Certificate, to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, the
Code or Similar Law without the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be void and of no effect
and (b) any purported transfer of a Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate
to a transferee that does not make the representation in clause (i) above shall
be void and of no effect.
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 5.02(b) 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.
(c) 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 Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be
registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee
shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in
addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Trustee under
subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall have been furnished with an
affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of the initial owner or the proposed
transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from
any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit
from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or
agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C)
not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to
cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to
any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a
Permitted Transferee.
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of
a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall 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 Section 5.02(b) and this
Section 5.02(c) 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 after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor
Certificate and the Rule 144A Letter. The Trustee shall be entitled but
not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that
was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or,
at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee,
all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such
time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and
delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of
such Certificate.
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon
receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to
compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder
who is not a Permitted Transferee.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in
this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the
legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers
occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the
Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause
either the Lower Tier REMIC or the Upper Tier REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the
imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person.
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on
an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to
ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual
Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not
a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of
a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.
(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions
referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at
the expense of the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at
all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at
all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the
Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) 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; (iii) 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;
(iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and
expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the
Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as
representatives 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 such representatives shall not be deemed to be
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and
(vi) 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.
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.
If (x) (i) 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 (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is
unable to locate a qualified successor, or (y) the Depositor at its option
advises the Trustee in writing and the Trustee consents that the Depositor
elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository, the Trustee
shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, and the Class A-2
Certificate Insurer 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, 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 each 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 all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to
be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed
by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive
Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall
not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations become liable to any party
for any act or failure to act of the Depository.
Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or
the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee (and, with respect to any Class A-2 Certificate, the
Class A-2 Certificate Insurer), such security or indemnity as may be required by
them to hold each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the
Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the
Trustee shall execute, countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of
like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of
any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, 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) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen
or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners.
The Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Class A-2 Certificate
Insurer and any agent of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Class A-2 Certificate
Insurer, or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is
registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving
distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, the Trustee, the Class A-2 Certificate
Insurer, the Depositor or any agent of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Class
A-2 Certificate Insurer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
Section 5.05 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses.
If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in
writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to
communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under
this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the
communication which such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the
Depositor, the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer or Servicer shall request such
information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten
Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer or such Certificateholders at such
recipients' expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such Trust
Fund held by the Trustee, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by
receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held
accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list
of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.
Section 5.06 Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense
an office or offices or agency or agencies in New York City where Certificates
may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee
initially designates its agent's offices for such purposes located at DTC
Transfer Agent Services, 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx
Xxxx 00000. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to the

Section 5.07 Rights of the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer to
Exercise Rights of Class A-2 Certificateholders.
(a) By accepting its Class A-2 Certificate, each Class A-2
Certificateholder agrees that, unless a Class A-2 Certificate Insurer Default
exists, the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer shall be deemed to be the Class A-2
Certificateholders for all purposes (other than with respect to the receipt of
payment on the Class A-2 Certificates) and shall have the right to exercise all
rights of the Class A-2 Certificateholders under this Agreement and under the
Class A-2 Certificates without any further consent of the Class A-2
Certificateholders.
(b) All notices, statement reports, certificates or opinions
required by this Agreement to be sent to any other party hereto, any Rating
Agency or any Class A-2 Certificateholder shall also be sent to the Class A-2
Certificate Insurer.
Section 5.08 Class A-2 Certificate Insurer Default. Notwithstanding
anything elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Certificates to the contrary, for
so long as a Class A-2 Certificate Insurer Default exists and is continuing, or
if and to the extent the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer has delivered its written
renunciation of all of its rights under this Agreement, all provisions of this
Agreement which (a) permit the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer to exercise rights
of the Class A-2 Certificateholders, (b) restrict the ability of the
Certificateholders, the Servicer or the Trustee to act without the consent or
approval of the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer, (c) provide that a particular act
or thing must be acceptable to the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer, (d) permit the
Class A-2 Certificate Insurer to direct (or otherwise to require) the actions of
the Trustee, the Servicer or the Certificateholders, (e) provide that any action
or omission taken with the consent, approval or authorization of the Class A-2
Certificate Insurer shall be authorized hereunder or shall not subject the party
taking or omitting to take such action to any liability hereunder or (f) have a
similar effect, shall be of no further force and effect and the Trustee shall
administer the Trust Fund and perform its obligations hereunder solely for the
benefit of the Holders of the Certificates. Nothing in the foregoing sentence,
nor any action taken pursuant thereto or in compliance therewith, shall be
deemed to have released the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer from any obligation or
liability it may have to any party or to the Class A-2 Certificateholders
hereunder, under any other agreement, instrument or document (including, without
limitation, the Class A-2 Certificate Insurance Policy) or under applicable law.
At such time as the Class A-2 Certificates are no longer outstanding hereunder,
and no amounts owed to the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer hereunder remain
unpaid, the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer's rights hereunder shall terminate.
ARTICLE VI

qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, 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 Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which
the Depositor or the Servicer shall be a party, or any person succeeding to the

Neither the Depositor, the Servicer nor any of their directors,

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 representations or warranties
made by it herein or protect the Depositor, Servicer or any such Person from any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence (or gross negligence in the case of the Depositor) in
the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and
duties hereunder. The Depositor and any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Depositor 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 and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Depositor shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any
loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any audit, controversy or
judicial proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority or any legal
action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss,

of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder. The Depositor shall not be under any obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its respective
duties hereunder and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, that the Depositor may in its discretion undertake
any such action (or direct the Trustee to undertake any such actions pursuant to
Section 2.03 hereof for the benefit of Certificateholders) that it may deem
necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of
the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and 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 Fund, and the Depositor shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of
the Collection Account.
Neither the Servicer nor any of the officers, employees or agents of
the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trustee or the Depositor for
any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not
protect the Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties or
representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict
compliance with the terms of this Agreement, or any liability which would
otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, or protect the Servicer from any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and
duties hereunder. The Servicer and any officer, employee or agent of 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 Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend
any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it

any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this
Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. 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 Fund, and the Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account.

The Servicer shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the
obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the
Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee or upon the determination that its
duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such
incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such determination permitting
the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to
such effect delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee which Opinion of Counsel
shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Depositor and the Trustee. No
such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the
Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder.
Section 6.05 Additional Indemnification by the Servicer;
Third Party Claims.
The Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor and the Trustee and hold
them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines,

DEFAULT
Section 7.01 Events of Default.
"Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events:
(a) any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Trustee any payment
required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied
for a period of one Business Day after the earlier of (i) the date upon which
written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee or to the Servicer,
the Depositor and the Trustee by Certificateholders evidencing percentage
interests of at least 25% in the Certificates; and (ii) actual knowledge of such
failure by a Servicing Officer of the Servicer; or
(b) failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform
in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of
the Servicer set forth in this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period
of forty-five days (except that such number of days shall be fifteen in the case
of a failure to pay any premium for any insurance policy required to be
maintained under this Agreement) after the earlier of (i) the date on which
written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee, or to the Servicer,
the Depositor and the Trustee by Certificateholders of Certificates evidencing
percentage interests of at least 25% in the Certificates and (ii) actual
knowledge of such failure by a Servicing Officer of the Servicer; or
(c) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshalling of
assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and
such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a
period of sixty days; or
(d) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator
or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to
the Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(e) 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
(f) any failure of the Servicer to make any P&I Advance on any
Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds pursuant to Section 4.01
which continues unremedied for one Business Day immediately following the
Remittance Date; or
(g) A breach of any representation and warranty of the Servicer
referred to in Section 2.08, which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders and which continues unremedied for a period
of thirty days after the date upon which written notice of such breach is given
to the Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Servicer, the Trustee
and the Depositor by Certificateholders entitled to at least 25% of the Voting
Rights in the Certificates; or
(h) if the continued servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the
Servicer, in and of itself, would cause a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal
of the rating assigned to any Class of Certificates by any Rating Agency.
If an Event of Default described in clauses (a) through (h) of this
Section 7.01 shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such
Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the
direction of 51% of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing
to the Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights
and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder
hereunder; provided however, that the Trustee shall not be required to give
written notice to the Servicer of the occurrence of an Event of Default
described in clauses (b) through (h) of this Section 7.01 unless and until a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence of
such an event. In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge of the occurrence of an event of default described in clause (a) of
this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall give written notice to the Servicer of the
occurrence of such an event within one Business Day of the first day on which
such Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge of such occurrence. On and
after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and
power of the Servicer hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or
otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee. 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 or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or
otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such written notice, no such termination
shall affect any obligation of the Servicer to pay amounts owed pursuant to
Article VIII. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the
termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including,
without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee of all cash amounts which shall
at the time be credited to the Collection Account, or thereafter be received
with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Servicer
hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive from the Trust Fund, prior
to transfer of its servicing obligations hereunder, payment of all accrued and
unpaid Servicing Fees and reimbursement for all outstanding P&I Advances and
Servicing Advances.
Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 3.24 or Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, subject to and to
the extent provided in Section 3.05, be the successor 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 and applicable law including the obligation to make P&I Advances or
Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As compensation therefor, the
Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans that the
Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the Collection Account if the
Servicer had continued to act hereunder including, if the Servicer was receiving
the Servicing Fee, the Servicing Fee and the income on investments or gain
related to the Collection Account (in addition to income on investments or gain
related to the Distribution Account for the benefit of the Trustee).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the
Servicer in accordance with Section 7.01, the Trustee may, if it shall be
unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making
P&I Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 4.01, if it is otherwise
unable to so act or at the written request of Certificateholders entitled to at
least 51% of the Voting Rights, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the
appointment of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the
Certificates by each Rating Agency, as the successor to the Servicer hereunder
in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or
liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. Any successor to the Servicer shall be an
institution which is a Xxxxxx Xxx and FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good
standing, which has a net worth of at least $30,000,000, which is willing to
service the Mortgage Loans and which executes and delivers to the Depositor and
the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, containing an
assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities,
obligations and liabilities of the Servicer (other than liabilities of the
Servicer under Section 6.03 incurred prior to termination of the Servicer under
Section 7.01), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this
Agreement; provided that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the
Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will
not be qualified or reduced, as a result of such assignment and delegation.
Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, the Trustee,
unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to
Section 3.05, act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with
such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such
successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in
excess of the Servicing Fee Rate and amounts paid to the Servicer from
investments. The Trustee and such successor servicer shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor servicer shall be deemed
to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in
making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to
perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder,
in either case caused by the failure of the Servicer to deliver or provide, or
any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or
records to it.
Any successor to the Servicer as servicer shall give notice to the
Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service
as servicer, maintain in force the policy or policies that the Servicer is
required to maintain pursuant to Section 3.13.
Section 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the
Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders, the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer and each Rating Agency.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders, the Class A-2
Certificate Insurer and each Rating Agency notice of each such Event of Default
hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such event shall have been cured or
waived.

to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities
respecting any matters arising hereunder;

trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct
or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order
or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses
and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby.
Section 8.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage
Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken
as the statements of the Depositor 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 of any Mortgage Loan or
related document other than with respect to the Trustee's execution and
countersignature of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable for
the use or application by the Depositor or the Servicer of any funds paid to the
Depositor or the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or
withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Depositor or the Servicer.
The Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing or recording any
financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to
otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien
granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have become the successor
Servicer).
The Trustee executes the Certificates not in its individual capacity
but solely as Trustee of the Trust Fund created by this Agreement, 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 on behalf of the Trust Fund 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 Fund.
Section 8.04 Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it
were not the Trustee.
Section 8.05 Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
As compensation for its activities under this Agreement, the Trustee
may withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date the Trustee
Fee for the Distribution Date and any interest or investment income earned on
funds deposited in the Distribution Account. The Trustee and any director,
officer, employee, or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Servicer
against any loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees)
resulting from any error in any tax or information return prepared by the
Servicer or incurred in connection with any claim or legal action relating to
(a) this Agreement,
(b) the Certificates, or
(c) the performance of any of the Trustee's duties under this
Agreement,
other than any loss, liability, or expense incurred because of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee's
duties under this Agreement. This indemnity shall survive the termination of
this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee under this
Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise agreed upon in
writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any expense,
disbursement, or advance arising from the Trustee's negligence, bad faith, or
willful misconduct, the Servicer shall pay or reimburse the Trustee, for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements, and advances incurred or made by the Trustee
in accordance with this Agreement with respect to
(A) the reasonable compensation, expenses, and disbursements of its
counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates,
(B) the reasonable compensation, expenses, and disbursements of any
accountant, engineer, or appraiser that is not regularly employed by the
Trustee, to the extent that the Trustee must engage them to perform services
under this Agreement, and
(C) printing and engraving expenses in connection with preparing any
Definitive Certificates.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or a separate letter
agreement between the Trustee and the Depositor, 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, Registrar, or
Paying Agent under this Agreement or for any other expenses.
Section 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for the Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or
association organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United
States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and with a credit
rating which would not cause any of the Rating Agencies to reduce their
respective then current ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such
security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction) as
evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency. If such corporation or 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 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or 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 this
Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in Section 8.07. The entity serving as Trustee may have normal
banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and its affiliates or the
Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however, that such entity cannot be an
affiliate of the Depositor or the Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as
successor to the Servicer.
Section 8.07 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the
Servicer, each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date specified in
such notice, when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to take effect,
and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section 8.08 meeting
the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no successor trustee meeting
such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment
within 30 days after the giving of such notice or 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 Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the
Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or
shall be adjudged as 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, or a tax is imposed with respect to
the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located
and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a
different trustee, then the Depositor or the Servicer may remove the Trustee and
appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of
which shall be delivered to the Trustee, one copy to the Servicer and one copy
to the successor trustee.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which shall be
delivered by the successor Trustee to the Servicer, one complete set to the
Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. The
successor trustee shall notify each Rating Agency of any removal of the Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to this Section 8.07 shall become effective upon
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08.
Section 8.08 Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee
and the Servicer 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 the like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein. The Depositor, the Servicer and the predecessor trustee
shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may
reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in
the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.08 unless at the time of its acceptance, the successor trustee is
eligible under Section 8.06 and its appointment does not adversely affect the
then current rating of the Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail
such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the
expense of the Depositor.
Section 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of the Trustee.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of
the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under
Section 8.06 without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time,
for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the
time be located, 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 to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with
the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part
thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Servicer and the Trustee may consider appropriate. If the Servicer shall not
have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a
request to do so or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and no notice to
Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee
shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(a) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this
Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee under this Agreement
to advance funds on behalf of the Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon
and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or
co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee
is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act),
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 applicable Trust
Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the
direction of the Trustee;
(b) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable because of
any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall
not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or
co-trustee as agent of the Trustee;
(c) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove
any separate trustee or co-trustee; and
(d) The Servicer, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the
payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any
such separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when
and as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the
Servicer and the Depositor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
Section 8.11 Tax Matters.
It is intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC
election pertaining to the Trust Fund is to be made, as set forth in the
Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the conduct of matters
relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as, a "real
estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with the
REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee covenants and
agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as
agent) on behalf of each REMIC described in the Preliminary Statement and that
in such capacity it shall:
(a) prepare and file in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage
Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by
the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file with the Internal Revenue
Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information
returns for each taxable year with respect to each REMIC described in the
Preliminary Statement, containing such information and at the times and in the
manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations,
or rules, and furnish to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or
information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby;
(b) within thirty days of the Closing Date, the Trustee will apply
for an employer identification number from the Internal Revenue Service via Form
SS-4 or any other acceptable method for all tax entities and shall also furnish
to the Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by
the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the
holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto,
together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and
update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code;
(c) make an election that each of the Lower Tier REMIC and the Upper
Tier REMIC be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable
year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law);
(d) prepare and forward to the Certificateholders and to the
Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all
information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including the calculation of any original
issue discount using the prepayment assumption (as described in the Prospectus
Supplement);
(e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed
on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee (a "non-Permitted Transferee"), or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or other middleman) of a non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through
entity in which a non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest
(the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged
to the Person liable for such tax);
(f) to the extent that they are under its control, conduct matters
relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as
to maintain the status of each of the Upper Tier REMIC and Lower Tier REMIC as a
REMIC under the REMIC Provisions;
(g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take
any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of each of the
Upper Tier REMIC and Lower Tier REMIC as a REMIC created hereunder;
(h) pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this
Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited
transaction taxes as described below, imposed on the Lower Tier REMIC and the
Upper Tier REMIC created hereunder before its termination when and as the same
shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or
any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate
proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding payment of such
tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings);
(i) cause federal, state or local income tax or information returns
to be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may be required to sign such
returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules;
(j) maintain records relating to each of the Lower Tier REMIC and
the Upper Tier REMIC created hereunder, including the income, expenses, assets,
and liabilities thereof on a calendar year basis and on the accrual method of
accounting and the fair market value and adjusted basis of the assets determined
at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare
the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; and
(k) as and when necessary and appropriate, represent the Lower Tier
REMIC and the Upper Tier REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings
relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority,
request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of the Lower Tier
REMIC and the Upper Tier REMIC created hereunder, enter into settlement
agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of
limitations relating to any tax item of the Lower Tier REMIC and the Upper Tier
REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of each REMIC in relation to any tax matter
or controversy involving it.
The Trustee shall treat the rights of the Class P Certificateholders
to Prepayment Charges and the rights of the LIBOR Certificateholders to receive
Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts as the beneficial ownership of interests in a
grantor trust, and not as an obligation of any REMIC created hereunder, for
federal income tax purposes.
To enable the Trustee to perform its duties under this Agreement,
the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee within ten days after the Closing
Date all information or data that the Trustee requests in writing and determines
to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the
Certificates, including the price, yield, prepayment assumption, and projected
cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, the Depositor
shall provide information to the Trustee concerning the value to each Class of
Certificates of the right to receive Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts from the
Excess Reserve Fund. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee
promptly upon written request therefor any additional information or data that
the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request to enable the Trustee to
perform its duties under this Agreement. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the
Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims, or expenses of the Trustee
arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any
failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate
information or data to the Trustee on a timely basis.
If any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of either the
Lower Tier REMIC and the Upper Tier REMIC as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of
the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of the Lower Tier REMIC
as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to either REMIC
after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax
is imposed, including any minimum tax imposed on either REMIC pursuant to
Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not
paid as otherwise provided for herein, the tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee
if such tax arises out of or results from negligence of the Trustee in the
performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Servicer,
in the case of any such minimum tax, and otherwise if such tax arises out of or
results from a breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations under this
Agreement, (iii) the Servicer if such tax arises out of or results from the
Servicer's obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.03(e),
or (iv) in all other cases, or if the Trustee or the Servicer fails to honor its
obligations under the preceding clause (i), (ii) or (iii), any such tax will be
paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as
provided in Section 4.02(a).
Section 8.12 Periodic Filings.
(a) The Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the
Depositor in connection with the Trust's satisfying the reporting requirements
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Trustee shall prepare
on behalf of the Trust any Forms 8-K and 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 Depositor, if an officer of the Depositor
signs the Certification (as defined below), or otherwise on behalf of the Trust.
In the event the Trustee is signing on behalf of the Depositor pursuant to the
preceding sentence, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power
of attorney to execute and file each such document 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, the
Trustee shall prepare such Form to be signed by the Depositor and the Depositor
shall sign such Form, unless the Securities and Exchange Commission has
indicated that it will accept a Certification signed by the Depositor where the
related Form 10-K is signed by the Trustee on behalf of the Depositor.
(b) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15 days after
each Distribution Date, including a copy of the statement to the
Certificateholders 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 3.22 and the accountant's report described
under Section 3.23, 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 L (the "Certification"), which shall, except as described
below, be signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of
securitization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is determined by the
Depositor that the Certification may be executed by multiple persons, the
Trustee shall sign the Certification in respect of items 1 through 3 thereof and
the Servicer shall cause the senior officer in charge of servicing at the
Servicer to sign the Certification in respect of items 4 and 5 thereof and the
Trustee may rely on the Certification signed by the Servicer to the same extent
as provided in subsection (c) below.
(c) In the event the Certification is to be signed by an officer of
the Depositor, the Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit M) for the benefit of the Depositor and its officers,
directors and Affiliates in respect of items 1 through 3 thereof of the
Certification (provided, however, that the Trustee shall not undertake an
analysis of the accountant's report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K),
and the Servicer shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit M) for the benefit of the Depositor, the Trustee and their respective
officers, directors and Affiliates in respect of items 4 and 5 of the
Certification. Each such certification shall be delivered to the Depositor no
later than March 10th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the
immediately preceding Business Day) and the Depositor shall deliver the
Certification to be filed to the Trustee no later than March 20th of each year
(or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day).
In the event that prior to the filing date of the Form 10-K in March of each
year, the Trustee or the Servicer has actual knowledge of information material
to the Certification, that party shall promptly notify the Depositor and each of
the other parties signing the certifications. In addition, (i) the Trustee shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor 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 breach of the Trustee's
obligations under this Section 8.12(c) or the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct in connection therewith, and (ii) the Servicer shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee and their respective
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
breach of the Servicer's obligations under this Section 8.12(c) or the
Servicer's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to
hold harmless the indemnified party, then (i) the Trustee agrees in connection
with a breach of the Trustee's obligations under this Section 8.12(c) or the
Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith
that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor as a
result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor on
the one hand and the Trustee on the other and (ii) the Servicer agrees that it
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor and/or the
Trustee as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the
Depositor and/or the Trustee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Depositor or the Trustee, as the case may be, on the one
hand and the Servicer on the other in connection with a breach of the Servicer's
obligations under this Section 8.12(c) or the Servicer's negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct in connection therewith. No such indemnifications or
contributions described in this Section 8.12(c) shall be payable from the assets
of the Trust Fund.
(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) Prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Trustee is
able to do so under applicable law, the Trustee shall file a Form 15 Suspension
Notification with respect to the Trust.
Section 8.13 Tax Classification of the Excess Reserve Fund Account.
For federal income tax purposes, the Trustee shall treat the Excess Reserve Fund
Account as an asset of a grantor trust, within the meaning of subpart E, Part I
of subchapter J of the Code. The Trustee shall treat the rights that each Class
of LIBOR Certificates has to receive payments of Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts
from the Excess Reserve Fund Account as rights to receive payments under an
interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholder in favor of
each Class and beneficially owned by each such Class through the grantor trust.
Accordingly, each Class of Certificates (excluding the Class X, Class P and
Class R Certificates) will be comprised of two components - an Upper Tier
Regular Interest and an interest in an interest rate cap contract, and the Class
X Certificates will be comprised of two components - an Upper Tier Regular
Interest and an interest in the Excess Reserve Fund Account, subject to
obligation to pay Basis Risk CarryForward Amounts. The Trustee shall allocate
the issue price for a Class of Certificates between such components for purposes
of determining the issue price of the Upper Tier Regular Interest component
based on information received from the Depositor.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
Section 9.01 Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of the
Mortgage Loans.
Subject to Section 9.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust
Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the purchase, on or after the
Optional Termination Date, by the Servicer of all Mortgage Loans (and REO
Properties) at the price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the unpaid principal
balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than in respect of REO Property) plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate and (ii) the
lesser of (x) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by the
higher of two appraisals completed by two independent appraisers selected by the
Servicer at the expense of the Servicer, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the
related Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Rate and (y) the unpaid
principal balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property, plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate and (b) the
later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the
disposition of all REO Property and (ii) the distribution to Certificateholders
of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement. In
no event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21
years from the death of the survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx,
the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on
the date hereof.
No such purchase will be permitted without the consent of the Class
A-2 Certificate Insurer, unless no draw on the Class A-2 Certificate Insurance
Policy would be made or unreimbursed on the final Distribution Date for the
Class A-2 Certificates in connection with such purchase.
Section 9.02 Final Distribution on the Certificates.
If on any Remittance Date, the Servicer determines that there are no
Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other
than the funds in the Collection Account, the Servicer shall direct the Trustee
promptly to send a Notice of Final Distribution to each Certificateholder and to
the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer. If the Servicer elects to terminate the Trust
Fund pursuant to clause (a) of Section 9.01, at least 20 days prior to the date
the Notice of Final Distribution is to be mailed to the affected
Certificateholders the Servicer shall notify the Depositor, the Class A-2
Certificate Insurer and the Trustee of the date the Servicer intends to
terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable repurchase price of the Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties.
A Notice of Final Distribution, specifying the Distribution Date on
which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the
final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by
letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th day and not later
than the 15th day of the month next preceding the month of such final
distribution. Any such Notice of Final Distribution shall specify (a) the
Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made
upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein
designated, (b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the location of the
office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and (d)
that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office therein specified. The Trustee will give such Notice
of Final Distribution to each Rating Agency and to the Class A-2 Certificate
Insurer at the time such Notice of Final Distribution is given to
Certificateholders.
In the event such Notice of Final Distribution is given, the
Servicer shall cause all funds in the Collection Account to be remitted to the
Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account on the Business Day prior to the
applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in
respect of the Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust
Fund and the receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor, the
Trustee shall promptly release to the Servicer the Custodial Files for the
Mortgage Loans.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee
shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in each
case on the final Distribution Date and in the order set forth in Section 4.02,
in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to
Certificateholders of the same Class, up to an amount equal to (i) as to each
Class of Regular Certificates (except the Class X Certificate), the Certificate
Balance thereof plus for each such Class and the Class X Certificate accrued
interest thereon in the case of an interest-bearing Certificate and all other
amounts to which such Classes are entitled pursuant to Section 4.02 and (ii) as
to the Residual Certificates, the amount, if any, which remains on deposit in
the Distribution Account (other than the amounts retained to meet claims) after
application pursuant to clause (i) above.
In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not
surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date
specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second
written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within six months after the second notice 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 and other
assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the
second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Class R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and
other assets of the Trust Fund which remain subject hereto.
Section 9.03 Additional Termination Requirements.
In the event the Servicer exercises its purchase option with respect
to the Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be
terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the
Trustee has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the
Servicer, to the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this
Section 9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" on either the Lower Tier REMIC or the Upper Tier REMIC as defined
in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause either the Lower Tier REMIC or the
Upper Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding:
(a) The Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to
the Servicer, and, within 90 days of such sale, shall distribute to the
Certificateholders the proceeds of such sale in complete liquidation of each of
the Lower Tier REMIC and the Upper Tier REMIC.
(b) The Trustee shall attach a statement to the final federal income
tax return for each of the Lower Tier REMIC and the Upper Tier REMIC stating
that pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-1, the first day of the
90-day liquidation period for each such REMIC was the date on which the Trustee
sold the assets of the Trust Fund to the Servicer.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 10.01 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 any
defective provision herein or to supplement any provision herein which may be
inconsistent with any other provision herein, (iii) to add to the duties of the
Depositor or the Servicer, (iv) to add any other provisions with respect to
matters or questions arising hereunder or (v) to modify, alter, amend, add to or
rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement; provided
that any action pursuant to clauses (iv) or (v) above shall not, as evidenced by
an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Trustee or the Trust Fund), adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder (such determination to be made without regard
to the Class A-2 Certificate Insurance Policy); and provided, further, that the
amendment shall not be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of the Certificateholders 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 (such determination to be made without regard to the Class
A-2 Certificate Insurance Policy); it being understood and agreed that any such
letter in and of itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality
of any such amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit
issues affecting any such rating. The Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer
also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement without the
consent of the Certificateholders to modify, eliminate or add to any of its
provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i) maintain the
qualification of the Lower Tier REMIC and the Upper Tier REMIC under the Code,
(ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on the Lower Tier
REMIC or the Upper Tier REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any
time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with any
other requirements of the Code, provided that the Trustee has been provided an
Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting
such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust
Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or helpful to, as applicable,
(i) maintain such qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the
imposition of such a tax or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code.
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 evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 662/3% of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any
manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in (i),
without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing, as
to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 662/3%, or (iii)
reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are
required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of
all such Certificates then outstanding.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless (i) it shall
have first received an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense
of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment will not
cause the imposition of any tax on any REMIC or the Certificateholders or cause
any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding and (ii) the party seeking such amendment shall have provided
written notice to the Rating Agencies (with a copy of such notice to the
Trustee) of such amendment, stating the provisions of the Agreement to be
amended.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.01, with
respect to any amendment that significantly modifies the permitted activities of
the Trustee or the Servicer, any Certificate beneficially owned by the Depositor
or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding (and shall not be
considered when determining the percentage of Certificateholders consenting or
when calculating the total number of Certificates entitled to consent) for
purposes of determining if the requisite consents of Certificateholders under
this Section 10.01 have been obtained.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement
requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each
Certificateholder, the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
under this Section 10.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to
such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an
amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an
expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee that (i)
such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all
requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and (ii)
either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the
immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this
Section 10.01.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment to this Agreement shall
require the prior written consent of the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer if such
amendment adversely affects in any respect the rights or interest of the Class
A-2 Certificate Insurer or of the Class A-2 Certificateholders (without regard
to the Class A-2 Certificate Insurance Policy).
Section 10.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
This Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public
offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable
jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are
situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere,
such recordation to be effected by the Servicer at its expense, but only upon
receipt of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially
and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.
Section 10.03 Governing Law.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY
THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND
TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND
REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
Section 10.04 Intention of Parties.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance
(i) of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and (ii) of the Trust Fund by the
Depositor to the Trustee each be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof.
It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyances be deemed
a pledge thereof. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the
parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Depositor, as the case
may be, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a
security interest in either such assets, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed
to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of
the State of New York and (ii) the conveyances provided for in this Agreement
shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee,
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the
assets transferred, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.
The Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall, to
the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary
to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in
the Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected
security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained
as such throughout the term of the Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for
filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with
any security interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.

shall be deemed given when mailed, first class postage prepaid, to their
respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.
Section 10.06 Severability of Provisions.
If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms
of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the
remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall
in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this
Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.
Section 10.07 Assignment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as
provided in Section 6.02, this Agreement may not be assigned by the Servicer
without the prior written consent of the Trustee and Depositor; provided,
however, that the Servicer may pledge its interest in any reimbursements for P&I
Advances or Servicing Advances hereunder by providing the Trustee with written
instructions as to disbursement of such reimbursement.
Section 10.08 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate
to terminate this Agreement or the trust created hereby, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to
take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or
winding up of the trust created hereby, or 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 Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything
herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so
as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members
of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any
third party 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,
unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice
of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided, and
unless the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting
Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written request to 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
common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of
the provisions of this Section 10.08, each and every Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.
Section 10.09 Inspection and Audit Rights.
The Servicer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit
any representative of the Depositor, the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer or the
Trustee during such Person's normal business hours, to examine all the books of
account, records, reports and other papers of such Person relating to the
Mortgage Loans, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be
audited by independent certified public accountants selected by the Depositor or
the Trustee and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts relating to the
Mortgage Loans with its officers, employees and independent public accountants
(and by this provision the Servicer hereby authorizes said accountants to
discuss with such representative such affairs, finances and accounts), all at
such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Any
out-of-pocket expense of the Servicer incident to the exercise by the Depositor
or the Trustee of any right under this Section 10.09 shall be borne by the
Servicer.
Section 10.10 Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid.
It is the intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall
not be personally liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests
in the Trust Fund represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any
reason whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof by
the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall be deemed fully paid.
Section 10.11 The Class A-2 Certificate Insurer Default.
Any right conferred to Class A-2 Certificate Insurer shall be
suspended during any period in which a Class A-2 Certificate Insurer Default
exists and is continuing. All such rights shall be automatically reinstated as
soon as a Class A-2 Certificate Insurer default no longer exists. At such time
as the Class A-2 Certificates are no longer outstanding hereunder, and no
amounts owed to the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer hereunder remain unpaid, the
Class A-2 Certificate Insurer's rights hereunder shall terminate.
Section 10.12 Third Party Beneficiary.

SCHEDULE III
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2002-AM3
Representations and Warranties of the Servicer as to the Mortgage Loans
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
With respect to each July Mortgage Loan and August Mortgage Loan
(unless otherwise specifically stated below), the Provident Bank ("Provident")
hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in this Schedule III
only to the Depositor, the Class A-2 Certificate Insurer and the Trustee, as of
the Closing Date (unless another date is specifically stated below). Capitalized
terms used but not otherwise defined in this Schedule III shall have the
meanings ascribed thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(1) Mortgage Loan Schedule. With respect to each July Mortgage Loan
only, as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer Data Tape Information is true
and correct (but only to the extent that such information was not based
upon erroneous information provided to Provident by the Originator);
(2) Payments Current. With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than
Mortgage Loans 0001881299, 0001985582, 0002110067 and 0000000000, as
listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), no payment required under the
Mortgage Loan is 30 days or more Delinquent nor has any payment under the
Mortgage Loan been 30 days or more Delinquent at any time from and after
the date on which Provident commenced servicing the Mortgage Loan;
(3) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and
Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified by Provident
(or to its knowledge by any other Person) in any respect from and after
the date on which Provident began servicing the Mortgage Loan;
(4) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. Other than with respect to any
Mortgage Loan which was subject to a Principal Prepayment in Full
occurring after the Cut-off Date but prior to the Closing Date, since the
date Provident began servicing the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage has not
been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded by Provident (or to
its knowledge by any other Person), in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged
Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage by Provident
(or to its knowledge by any other Person), in whole or in part, nor has
any instrument been executed by Provident (or to its knowledge by any
other Person) that would effect any such release, cancellation,
subordination or rescission. From and after the date Provident began
servicing the Mortgage Loan, Provident has not waived the performance by
the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor's failure to perform such
action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has Provident
waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor;
(5) No Defaults. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, other than
payments due but not yet 30 days delinquent, to Provident's knowledge,
there is no default, breach, violation or event which would permit
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 which would permit acceleration;
(6) Mortgaged Property Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings. With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, to Provident's knowledge, there is no
proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of
the Mortgaged Property. To Provident's knowledge, the related Mortgaged
Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement,
windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the
value of the related Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan
or the use for which the premises were intended and each related Mortgaged
Property is in good repair;
(7) Escrow Payments/Interest Rate Adjustments. Since the date
Provident commenced servicing the Mortgage Loan, the servicing and
collection practices used by Provident with respect to such Mortgage Loan
have been in all respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices,
applicable laws and regulations, and have been in all respects legal and
proper. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, all
such deposits and payments received by Provident are in the possession of,
or under the control of, Provident and there exist no deficiencies in
connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment
thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected in
full compliance with state and federal law and the provisions of the
related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. From and after the date Provident
commenced servicing the Mortgage Loan, all Mortgage Rate adjustments (if
any) have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and
the terms of the related Mortgage Note;
(8) Other Insurance Policies. From and after the date Provident
commenced servicing the Mortgage Loan, no action, inaction or event has
occurred and, to Provident's knowledge, no state of facts exists or has
existed that has resulted or will result in the exclusion from, denial of,
or defense to coverage under any insurance policy related to such Mortgage
Loan, irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage;
(9) No Violation of Environmental Laws. With respect to each
Mortgage Loan, to Provident's knowledge, there is no pending action or
proceeding directly involving the related Mortgaged Property in which
compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; to
Provident's knowledge, there is no violation of any environmental law,
rule or regulation with respect to the related Mortgaged Property; and
(10) Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act. With respect to each
Mortgage Loan, no Mortgagor has notified Provident, and Provident has no
knowledge, of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the
Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made

thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations

Certificate Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the offices designated by the Trustee for such
purposes or the office or agency maintained by the Trustee in New York, New

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

Pool Principal Balance, the Servicer will have the option to repurchase, in
whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as
provided in the Agreement. The obligations and responsibilities created by the

Agreement. In addition, any distribution of the proceeds of any remaining assets
of the Trust will be made only upon presentment and surrender of this
Certificate at the offices designated by the Trustee for such purposes or the
office or agency maintained by the Trustee.
No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such
disposition 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, the Trustee shall require the transferor to execute a transferor
certificate (in substantially the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement) and deliver either (i) a Rule 144A Letter, in either case
substantially in the form attached to the Agreement, or (ii) a written Opinion
of Counsel to the Trustee that such transfer may be made pursuant to an
exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the
1933 Act or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel
shall be an expense of the transferor.
No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless the
Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the
transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not an
employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code or any materially similar provisions of applicable Federal, state or local
law ("Similar Law") or a person acting on behalf of or investing plan assets of
any such plan, which representation letter shall not be an expense of the
Trustee, or (ii) if the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that
the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with
funds contained in an "insurance company general account" (as such term is
defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE
95-60")) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered
under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or (iii) in the case of a Certificate
presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to
ERISA, or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or
comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments) or a plan subject to Similar
Law, or a trustee of any such plan or any other person acting on behalf of any
such plan or arrangement or using such plan's or arrangement's assets, an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee and the Servicer, which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Servicer or the Trust
Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that the purchase or holding of
such Certificate will not result in the assets of the Trust Fund being deemed to
be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA
and the Code and will not subject the Trustee or the Servicer to any obligation
in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this

Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2002-AM3
STATE OF )
) ss.:
COUNTY OF )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as
follows:
1. The undersigned is an officer of ___________________, the
proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate (the
"Certificate") issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the
"Agreement"), relating to the above-referenced Series, by and among Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx Capital I Inc., as depositor (the "Depositor"), The
Provident Bank, as servicer (the "Servicer"), and Deutsche Bank National Trust
Company, as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used, but not defined
herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in
the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this
affidavit on behalf of the Transferee for the benefit of the Depositor and the
Trustee.
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 its
Ownership Interest in the Certificate for its own account. 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 be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not
Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if
such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and
(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 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.)
5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of
the Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an
Ownership Interest in the 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 5.02(c) 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 from any
Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the
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 its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth as Exhibit H to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate") to the
effect that, among other things, such Transferee has no actual knowledge that
the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. 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 Certificate. The Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have
come due and intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future. The
Transferee intends to pay all taxes due with respect to the Certificate as they
become due.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is __________.
9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section
7701(a)(30).
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a
"noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of proposed 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.
11. 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.
12. Check the applicable paragraph:
|_| The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated
with holding the Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:
(i) the present value of any consideration given to the Transferee
to acquire such Certificate;
(ii) the present value of the expected future distributions on such
Certificate; and
(iii) the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated
with holding such Certificate as the related REMIC generates
losses.
For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to
pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code
(but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the
highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been
subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the
preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable
year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are
computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed
by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding
period used by the Transferee.
|_| The transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury

Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have their

otherwise explicitly provided for herein) all of its right, title and interest
in and to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans, exclusive of the obligations of the
Depositor or any other Person with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans but
including specifically, without limitation, the Mortgages, the Custodial Files
and all other documents, materials and properties appurtenant thereto and the
Mortgage Notes, including all interest and principal collected by the Depositor
on or with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans after the related Subsequent

proceeds received after such Subsequent Cut-off Date of any related insurance
policies on behalf of the Trust Fund.
Additional terms of the sale are attached hereto as Attachment A.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Subsequent Transfer
Agreement, or a memorandum thereof if permitted under applicable law, is subject
to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in
all counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the
properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate
public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by either
Servicer at the applicable Originator's expense, but only when accompanied by an
opinion of counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and
beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders or is necessary for
the administration or servicing of the Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor further certifies, to the best of its knowledge and
after due inquiry, that, with respect to the Subsequent Transfer Date of
[____________], 200[3], each condition precedent set forth in Section

satisfied.
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties
hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws, without giving
effect to the principles of conflicts of laws.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by
the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so
executed, shall be deemed to be an original; such counterparts, together, shall
constitute one and the same Agreement.
All terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are
hereby ratified, confirmed and incorporated herein; provided, that in the event
of any conflict the provisions of this Subsequent Transfer Agreement shall
control over the conflicting provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
