prepared or delivered and instead, the Master Servicer shall enforce the
obligations of the applicable Servicer under its related Servicing Agreement to
cause the Trustee to be shown as the owner of the related Mortgage Loan on the
records of MERS for the purpose of the system of recording transfers of
beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS.
If in connection with any Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver (a)
the original recorded Mortgage, (b) all interim recorded assignments or (c) the
lender's title policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying the
requirements of clause (ii), (iii) or (v) above, respectively, concurrently with
the execution and delivery hereof because such document or documents have not
been returned from the applicable public recording office in the case of clause
(ii) or (iii) above, or because the title policy has not been delivered to
either the applicable Custodian or the Depositor by the applicable title insurer
in the case of clause (v) above, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the
applicable Custodian, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, such original
Mortgage or such interim assignment, as the case may be, with evidence of
recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording
office, or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording
office, but in no event shall any such delivery of the original Mortgage and
each such interim assignment or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by
the relevant recording office, be made later than one year following the Closing
Date, or, in the case of clause (v) above, no later than 120 days following the
Closing Date; provided, however, in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver
by such date each Mortgage and each such interim assignment by reason of the
fact that any such documents have not been returned by the appropriate recording
office, or, in the case of each such interim assignment, because the related
Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office, the
Depositor shall deliver such documents to the applicable Custodian as promptly
as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following
the Closing Date. The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the
applicable Custodian (a) from time to time additional original documents
evidencing an assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other
documents required to be delivered by the Depositor to the applicable Custodian.
In the event that the original Mortgage is not delivered and in connection with
the payment in full of the related Mortgage Loan and the public recording office
requires the presentation of a "lost instruments affidavit and indemnity" or any
equivalent document, because only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with
the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance, the applicable Custodian shall
execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such a document to the
public recording office. In the case where a public recording office retains the
original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after
recordation in a public recording office, the Transferor shall deliver to the
applicable Custodian a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording
office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage.
As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and assignment, set
forth in clause (a) above and in any event, within ninety (90) days thereafter,
the applicable Custodian shall affix the Trustee's name to each assignment of
Mortgage, as the assignee thereof, and, subject to Section 2.02, the Master
Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the related Servicer pursuant to the
related Servicing Agreement to (i) cause such assignment to be in proper form
for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records and
(ii) cause to be delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for
real property records the assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except
that, with respect to any assignments of Mortgage as to which the related
Servicer has not received the information required to prepare such assignment in
recordable form, the related Servicer's obligation to do so and to deliver the
same for such recording shall be as soon as practicable after receipt of such
information and in any event within ninety (90) days after receipt thereof and
except that the related Servicer need not cause to be recorded any assignment
which relates to a Mortgage Loan (a) in any state where, in an Opinion of
Counsel addressed to the Trustee, such recording is not required to protect the
Trustee's interests in the Mortgage Loan against the claim of any subsequent
transferee or any successor to or creditor of the Depositor or the Transferor,
(b) in any state where recordation is not required by either Rating Agency to
obtain the initial ratings on the Certificates set forth in the Prospectus
Supplement or (c) with respect to any Mortgage which has been recorded in the
name of MERS, or its designee. As of the date hereof, Florida and Maryland are
the only states where recordation is required by either Rating Agency to obtain
the initial rating on the Certificates (upon which statement the Master
Servicer, the Trustee and each Custodian may conclusively rely).
In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the
Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the
Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, will deposit in the Collection Account
the portion of such payment that is required to be deposited in the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof.
(c) The Depositor does hereby establish, pursuant to the further
provisions of this Agreement and the laws of the State of New York, an express
trust (the "Trust") to be known, for convenience, as "MASTR Alternative Loan
Trust 2004-7" and U.S. Bank National Association is hereby appointed as Trustee
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
(d) [Reserved].
(e) Each of the Collection Account and Distribution Account shall at all
times be an Eligible Account. The Collection Account may be deemed to be a
sub-account of the Distribution Account. If at any time either the Collection
Account or the Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Master
Servicer or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall immediately establish
and maintain a new Collection Account or Distribution Account, as applicable,
that is an Eligible Account, and shall immediately transfer all funds on deposit
in the former Collection Account or Distribution Account, as applicable, to the
new Collection Account or Distribution Account, as applicable.
(f) It is agreed and understood by the Trustee, the Depositor and the
Transferor that it is not intended that any mortgage loan be included in the
Trust that is a "High Cost Home Loan" as defined in the New Jersey Home
Ownership Act of 2002 effective November 27, 2003 or as defined in the New
Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004.
Section 2.02 Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans. Each Custodian,
on behalf of the Trustee, acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in
the Initial Certification issued by it in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G
and declares that it holds and will hold such related documents and the other
documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and each such
Custodian and Trustee together declare that it holds or will hold such other
assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and
benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. Each Custodian
acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes held by it
in the State of Minnesota, with respect to Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., and the
States of Arizona and Minnesota, with respect to U.S. Bank National Association,
unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies and the Trustee.
Each Custodian agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the
Depositor and the Trustee an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit G. Based on its review and examination, and only as to the documents
identified in such Initial Certification, each Custodian acknowledges, subject
to any applicable exceptions noted on Exhibit G, that such documents appear
regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan. Neither Custodian shall
be under any duty or obligation to (i) inspect, review or examine said
documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same
are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they
have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other
than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) determine whether the
Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in Section
2.01(b)(iv) unless the Mortgage Loan Schedule indicates that such documents are
applicable.
Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, each Custodian shall
deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Transferor a Final Certification
in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon. Each Custodian shall make available, upon request of any
Certificateholder, a copy of any exceptions noted on the Initial Certification
or the Final Certification. Each Custodian shall make available, upon request of
the Trustee, the identity of the originator for any Mortgage Loan with a
material exception.
If, in the course of such review, either Custodian finds any document
constituting a part of a related Mortgage File which does not meet the
requirements of Section 2.01, such Custodian shall list such as an exception in
the Final Certification; provided, however, that such Custodian shall not make
any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer
all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or
assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note, (ii) any assignment is in
recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the
assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates or (iii) the
Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in Section
2.01(b)(i)(D) with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a Cooperative Loan
and Section 2.01(b)(ii)(H) with respect to each Cooperative Loan, unless the
Mortgage Loan Schedule indicates that such documents are applicable.
Upon receiving each Final Certification from the applicable Custodian, the
Trustee shall notify the Transferor of any document defects listed as exceptions
in each such Final Certification. The Trustee shall enforce the applicable
duties of the Transferor pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.02 to correct
and cure such document defects, and if the Transferor fails to correct or cure
the defect within ninety (90) days of the earlier of its discovery or its
receipt of written notice that any document constituting a part of a Mortgage
File does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, and such defect materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related
Mortgage Loan, the Transferor shall repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the
Purchase Price and the Trustee shall enforce the Transferor's obligations
hereunder to purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price. Any such
purchase of a Mortgage Loan shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the
applicable Custodian of a Request for Release substantially in the form of
Exhibit M. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be paid by the
Transferor to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account on or
prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the
month following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit, the
Master Servicer shall instruct the applicable Custodian to release, and the
applicable Custodian shall release, the related Mortgage File to the Transferor
and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at the Transferor's written request
such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Transferor, in each
case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest
in the Transferor, or a designee, the Trustee's interest in any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto. The Transferor shall promptly reimburse the Master
Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master
Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing such repurchase by the
Transferor.
Each Custodian shall retain possession and custody of each related
Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein. Pursuant to the terms of the related Servicing Agreement, the
Master Servicer shall cause each of the related Servicers to promptly deliver to
the related Custodian who shall thereupon promptly deposit within each Mortgage
File, upon the execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other
documents or instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into the
possession of the related Servicers from time to time.
It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Transferor
hereunder to purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the requirements of
Section 2.01 above or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan an Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan shall constitute the sole remedies respecting such
defect available to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator,
the Depositor and any Certificateholder.
Section 2.03 Remedies for Breaches of Representations and Warranties. The
Transferor hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule
II hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor and the
Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off
Date.
Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a
representation or warranty made by the Transferor pursuant to this Section 2.03
that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in
any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice
thereof to the other parties. A breach which causes a Mortgage Loan not to
constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code, will be deemed automatically to materially and adversely affect the
interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan. Upon receiving notice
of a breach, the Trustee shall in turn notify the Transferor of such breach. The
Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Transferor in accordance with this
Section 2.03 to correct or cure any such breach of a representation or warranty
made herein, and if the Transferor fails to correct or cure the defect within
such period, and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of
the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce
the Transferor's obligations hereunder to (i) purchase such Mortgage Loan at the
Purchase Price or (ii) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan an Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan. In each case, such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage
Loan") will be removed from the Trust Fund.
The Transferor hereby covenants that within ninety (90) days of the
earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a
breach of any representation or warranty made pursuant to this Section 2.03
which materially and adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholders in
any Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if
such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such ninety (90) day period expires
prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Deleted
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place an Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans into the Trust Fund, in the manner and subject
to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected
Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth
below. The Transferor shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and the
Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or the
Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach by the Transferor.
With respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the
Transferor shall deliver to the related Custodian on behalf of the Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the
related assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as
are required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage
assigned as required by Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to be made on
any day in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month.
With respect to substitutions made by the Transferor, Scheduled Payments
due with respect to Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of
substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the
Transferor on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly
payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the
Transferor shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such
Deleted Mortgage Loan. The related Custodian shall amend the Mortgage Loan
Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans and the related Custodian shall deliver the amended
Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement in all respects, and the Transferor shall be deemed to have made with
respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of
substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section
2.03 with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the
deposit to the Collection Account of the amount required to be deposited therein
in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph,
the related Custodian shall release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of
the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Transferor
and shall execute and deliver or cause the Trustee to execute and deliver at the
Transferor's direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by
the Transferor, without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be
necessary to vest title in the Transferor, as applicable, or its designee, the
Trustee's interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this
Section 2.03.
For any month in which the Transferor substitutes one or more Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal
balance of all such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of
substitution is less than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of all such
Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of the scheduled principal portion of
the monthly payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such
shortage (the "Substitution Adjustment Amount") plus an amount equal to the
aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage
Loans shall be remitted by the Transferor to the Master Servicer, and the Master
Servicer shall deposit such amounts received from the Transferor into the
Collection Account on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during which the
related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.
In the event that the Transferor shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan,
the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.07 on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for
the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the
Transferor became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage
Loan and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price and receipt of a Request for
Release in the form of Exhibit M hereto, the related Custodian shall release the
related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to the
Transferor, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at the Transferor's
direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Transferor,
in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary
to transfer title from the Trustee. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation under this Agreement of the Transferor to cure, repurchase or replace
any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall
constitute the sole remedies against the Transferor respecting such matters
available to Certificateholders, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee on their behalf.
The provisions of this Section 2.03 shall survive the conveyance and
assignment of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee and the delivery of the
respective Mortgage Files to the related Custodian for the benefit of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders.
Section 2.04 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the
Mortgage Loans. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan
as of the date hereof or such other date set forth herein that as of the Closing
Date, and following the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to it by the Transferor,
the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were
subject to no offsets, liens, defenses or counterclaims.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the
applicable Custodian. Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Transferor, the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee of a breach of any of
the foregoing representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04
(referred to herein as a "breach"), which breach materially and adversely
affects the interest of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties hereto and to each
Rating Agency.
Section 2.05 [Reserved].
Section 2.06 Execution and Delivery of Certificates. The Trustee
acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and
acknowledges the issuance of the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests as described
in the Preliminary Statement, and the Trust Administrator on its behalf has
executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon due order of the Depositor, the
Class A-LR Certificates in authorized denominations in exchange therefor. The
Trustee further acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Lower-Tier
REMIC Regular Interests and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, the
Trust Administrator, on its behalf, has executed, authenticated and delivered to
or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates (other than the Class A-LR
Certificates) in authorized denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the
entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund
and the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests and to exercise the rights referred

ability, to the end that the interests of the Holders of the Certificates may be
adequately and effectively protected.

each Custodian, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified herein, as of the
Cut-off Date:
(a) The Master Servicer is duly organized as a national banking
association and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
United States of America and is duly authorized and qualified to transact any
and all business contemplated by this Agreement to be conducted by the Master
Servicer in any state in which a Mortgaged Property is located or is otherwise

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND MASTER
SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01 Master Servicing of Mortgage Loans. For and on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the
obligation of the Servicers to service and administer their respective Mortgage
Loans in accordance with the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement and
shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem
necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and
administration. With respect to WMMSC, the WMMSC Mortgage Loans and the WMMSC
Servicing Agreement, the obligations of the Master Servicer imposed in the
preceding sentence shall be limited to: (i) collecting the monthly report
provided by WMMSC under the WMMSC Servicing Agreement, (ii) enforcing WMMSC's
obligation to remit to the Trust Administrator hereunder, (iii) receiving the
annual compliance statements from WMMSC and (iv) complying with the provisions
of Section 3.02(b) hereof and the WMMSC Servicing Agreement with respect to the
termination of WMMSC. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master
Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with this Agreement, subject to the
prior sentence, and with customary and usual standards of practice of prudent
mortgage loan master servicers. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee
and consult with each Servicer as necessary from time to time to carry out the
Master Servicer's obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all
reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by each
Servicer (provided, however, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to
review or evaluate any reports, information and other data provided by WMMSC
with respect to the WMMSC Mortgage Loans) and shall cause each Servicer to
perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or
observed by such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master
Servicer shall independently and separately monitor each Servicer's servicing
activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of
such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a
monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers' and Master
Servicer's records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information,
prepare the statements specified in Section 4.04 and any other information and
statements required hereunder; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall
be under no obligation to perform the duties outlined in this sentence with
respect to WMMSC or the WMMSC Mortgage Loans other than collecting the mortgage
loan information provided to the Master Servicer by WMMSC to enable the Master
Servicer to prepare the statement required under Section 4.04. Other than with
respect to WMMSC and the WMMSC Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall
reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual
remittances of the Servicers to the Collection Account pursuant to the
applicable Servicing Agreements.
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph and to the
extent the related Servicer does not make such advance, the Master Servicer
shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of
effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties,
which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related
collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.07, and further as
provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if any, in
effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of
calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the
Scheduled Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that
the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
Section 3.02 Monitoring of Servicers. (a) The Master Servicer shall be
responsible for reporting to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the
Depositor the compliance by each Servicer with its duties under the related
Servicing Agreement. In the review of each Servicer's activities, the Master
Servicer may rely upon an officer's certificate of the Servicer with regard to
such Servicer's compliance with the terms of its Servicing Agreement. In the
event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that a Servicer
should be terminated in accordance with its Servicing Agreement, or that a
notice should be sent pursuant to such Servicing Agreement with respect to the
occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such
termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such
notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate.
(b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each
Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a
Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related
Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights
and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and act as successor Servicer of the
related Mortgage Loans or cause the Trustee to enter into a new Servicing
Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the Master Servicer; provided,
however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will
be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing
functions can be fully transferred to such successor Servicer. Such enforcement,
including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of
Servicing 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 Master
Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner
of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such
enforcement at its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be
required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the
Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and
expenses in pursuing such action.
(c) To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer
related to any termination of a Servicer, appointment of a successor Servicer or
the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect to
any Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and
expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation
of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an event of default
by such Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete
transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and
the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be
required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in
the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor servicer to service the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully
and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Collection
Account.
(d) The Master Servicer shall require each Servicer to comply with the
remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the related Servicing
Agreement.
(e) If the Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not assume liability
for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it
replaces.
(f) If a Servicer fails to make its required payment of Compensating
Interest on any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer will be required to make
such payment of Compensating Interest to the same extent that such Servicer was
required to make such payment of Compensating Interest.
(g) To the extent a Servicer requests the consent of the Trust or the
Master Servicer with respect to any servicing-related matter for which the
applicable Servicer is required to seek consent under the applicable Servicing
Agreement or Assignment Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly or within
the time frame specified in such Servicing Agreement, if any, evaluate such
request for consent in the best interest of the Trust and the
Certificateholders, and grant or withhold such consent accordingly.
Section 3.03 [Reserved].
Section 3.04 Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the
Master Servicer. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the
obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to,
perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master
Servicer hereunder and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to
exercise the related rights of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that the
Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by
virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. Neither the Trustee
nor the Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or
failure to act by the Master Servicer or any Servicer nor shall the Trustee or
the Depositor be obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer
hereunder or any Servicer under any Servicing Agreement or otherwise.
Section 3.05 Trustee to Act as Master Servicer. In the event that the
Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer hereunder
(including by reason of a Master Servicer Event of Termination), the Trustee or
its successor shall in accordance with Section 7.02 thereupon assume all of the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder arising thereafter
(except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the predecessor
Master Servicer or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer
hereunder), (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by
applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of
Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not limited to, repurchases or
substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 hereof, (iv)
responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof
or (v) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 2.09 hereunder). Any such assumption shall be
subject to Section 7.02 hereof. If the Master Servicer shall for any reason no
longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Master Servicer Event
of Termination), the Trustee or its successor may, but shall not be obligated
to, succeed to any rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each
subservicing agreement.
The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense
of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records
relating to each subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing agreement and
the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts
collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly
and efficient transfer of each subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing
agreement to the assuming party.
The Trustee or successor master servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed from the Master Servicer for all costs associated with the transfer
of master servicing from the Master Servicer, including, without limitation, any
costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all master servicing
data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such master servicing
data as may be required by the Trustee or successor master servicer to correct
any errors or insufficiencies in the master servicing data or otherwise to
enable the Trustee or successor master servicer to master service the Mortgage
Loans properly and effectively.
If the Master Servicer does not pay such reimbursement within thirty (30)
days of its receipt of an invoice therefor, such reimbursement shall be an
expense of the Trust and the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw such
reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to
Section 3.10(b)(iv); provided that the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Trust
for any such expense incurred by the Trust.
Section 3.06 Protected Accounts. (a) The Master Servicer shall enforce the
obligation of each Servicer to establish and maintain a Protected Account in
accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, with records to be kept with
respect thereto on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, into which accounts
shall be deposited within 48 hours (or as of such other time specified in the
related Servicing Agreement) of receipt all collections of principal and
interest on any Mortgage Loan or amounts received with respect to any REO
Property, including Principal Prepayments, Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds, and advances made from the Servicer's own funds (less servicing
compensation as permitted by the applicable Servicing Agreement in the case of
any Servicer) and all other amounts to be deposited in the Protected Account.
The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to make withdrawals from and deposits
to the related Protected Account for purposes required or permitted by this
Agreement.
(b) In accordance with the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement,
amounts on deposit in a Protected Account are required to be invested by the
applicable Servicer in Permitted Investments. The income earned from investments
made pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall be paid to the related Servicer under
the applicable Servicing Agreement, and the risk of loss of moneys required to
be distributed to the Certificateholders resulting from such investments shall
be borne by and be the risk of the related Servicer. The related Servicer (to
the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement) shall deposit the amount of any
such loss in the Protected Account within two Business Days of receipt of
notification of such loss but not later than the second Business Day prior to
the Distribution Date on which the moneys so invested are required to be
distributed to the Certificateholders.
Section 3.07 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Collection Account;
Distribution Account. (a) The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of
the Servicers to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions
of the Mortgage Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with the
applicable Servicing Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related
Required Insurance Policy.
(b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Collection Account,
which may be deemed to be a sub-account of the Distribution Account into which
the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited within two Business
Days of receipt, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following
payments and collections remitted by the Servicers or received by it in respect
of Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of

(i) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans,
including Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, net

such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. The Master Servicer shall maintain adequate records with
respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in
the Collection Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until
withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.10.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) The Trust Administrator shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Distribution Account. The Trust Administrator shall,

deposited in the Distribution Account.
In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required

withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an
Officer's Certificate to the Trust Administrator which describes the amounts
deposited in error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the
Distribution Account shall be held by the Trust Administrator in trust for the
Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or
withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.10(b). In no event shall the Trust
Administrator incur liability for withdrawals from the Distribution Account at

not later than the Business Day next preceding the related Distribution Account
Deposit Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of or is
managed by the institution that maintains, or is the Custodian for, such
account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such
Distribution Account Deposit Date). The Trust Administrator shall, with respect
to funds other than the WMMSC Monthly Remittance Amount, as directed in writing
by the Master Servicer, and with respect to the WMMSC Monthly Remittance Amount,
as directed in writing by WMMSC, either (i) hold funds on deposit in the

Day next preceding the Distribution Date (except that if such Permitted
Investment is an obligation of or is managed by the institution that maintains
such fund or account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than
such Distribution Date). Permitted Investments in respect of the Collection
Account or the Distribution Account shall not be sold or disposed of prior to
their maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the
Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All income and gain net of
any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the
Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as master
servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as provided herein.
The amount of any realized losses in the Collection Account incurred in any such
account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the
Master Servicer (from its own funds without any right of reimbursement) in the
Collection Account or paid to the Trustee by wire transfer of immediately
available funds for deposit into the Distribution Account. All income and gain

remitted to it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any realized losses in

liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or lack
of investment of funds held in the Collection Account (except to the extent the
Trust Administrator is the obligor and has defaulted thereon) or the
Distribution Account and made in accordance with this Section 3.07. In the
absence of written instructions by the Master Servicer, with respect to funds

applicable, shall immediately establish and maintain a new Collection Account or
Distribution Account, as applicable, that is an Eligible Account, and shall

(iv) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account upon
termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof.
Section 3.11 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. (a) For each Mortgage Loan,
the Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the Servicers under the
related Servicing Agreements to maintain or cause to be maintained standard fire
and casualty insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance
with the provisions of the related Servicing Agreements. It is understood and
agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility
requirements set forth in the applicable Servicing Agreement and that no
earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or
to be maintained on property acquired in respect of a defaulted loan, other than
pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in
force and as shall require such additional insurance.
(b) Pursuant to Sections 3.07 and 3.08, any amounts collected by the
Master Servicer, or by any Servicer, under any insurance policies (other than
amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to
the related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the
applicable Servicing Agreement) shall be deposited into the Collection Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections 3.07 and 3.08. Any cost incurred by
the Master Servicer or any Servicer in maintaining any such insurance if the
Mortgagor defaults in its obligation to do so shall be added to the amount owing
under the Mortgage Loan where the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit;
provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into
account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to
Certificateholders and shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer or such
Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.07 and 3.08.
Section 3.12 Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds. The Master
Servicer shall (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement)
cause the related Servicer to, prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee and
the Certificateholders all claims under the Insurance Policies and take such
actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the
insured's claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such policies.
Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed to a Servicer and
remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts
shall be promptly deposited in the Collection Account upon receipt, except that
any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the
related Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation of
claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable
Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).
Section 3.13 Maintenance of the Primary Insurance Policies. (a) The Master
Servicer shall not take, or permit any Servicer (to the extent such action is
prohibited under the applicable Servicing Agreement) to take, any action that
would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any
loss which, but for the actions of such Master Servicer or Servicer, would have
been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable
efforts to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related
Servicing Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the
Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary
mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not permit any Servicer (to the extent
required under the related Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew
any such Primary Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial
issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder
except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related
Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to present, or to cause each Servicer (to
the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to present, on behalf
of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any
Primary Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action
as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies
respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Sections 3.07 and 3.08, any
amounts collected by the Master Servicer or any Servicer under any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Collection Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections 3.07 and 3.08.
Section 3.14 Realization upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. The Master
Servicer shall cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related
Servicing Agreement) to foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably
convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Mortgage
Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, all in
accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.
Section 3.15 REO Property. (a) In the event the Trust Fund acquires
ownership of any REO Property in respect of any related Mortgage Loan, the deed
or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on
behalf of the related Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall, to the
extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, cause the applicable
Servicer to sell any REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as
applicable. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master
Servicer shall cause the applicable Servicer to protect and conserve such REO
Property in the manner and to the extent required by the applicable Servicing
Agreement, subject to the REMIC Provisions.
(b) The Master Servicer shall, to the extent required by the related
Servicing Agreement, cause the applicable Servicer to deposit all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in
the Protected Account.
(c) The Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer, upon the final
disposition of any REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any
related unreimbursed Advances and other unreimbursed advances as well as any
unpaid Servicing Fees from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the
final disposition of such REO Property; provided that any such unreimbursed
Monthly Advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees may be reimbursed or paid,
as the case may be, prior to final disposition, out of any net rental income or
other net amounts derived from such REO Property.
(d) The Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO
Property, net of any payment to the Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer
as provided above shall be deposited in the Protected Account on or prior to the
Determination Date in the month following receipt thereof and be remitted by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Master Servicer for deposit
into the Collection Account.
In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of the related
Servicer to dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to the close of the third
calendar year after the year in which the Trust Fund acquires such Mortgaged
Property unless the Servicer shall have applied for and received an extension of
such period from the Internal Revenue Service, in which case the Trust Fund may
continue to hold such Mortgaged Property for the period of such extension.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property
acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented)
or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund
in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC hereunder to the
imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from
such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless
the Master Servicer or related Servicer, as applicable, has agreed to indemnify
and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such
taxes.
In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose obligor
is not a United States Person, as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of
the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure (together, "foreclosure") in respect of such Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer will cause the applicable Servicer to comply with the provisions
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto)
necessary to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises with respect to
the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds of
such foreclosure are required to be remitted to the obligors on such Mortgage
Loan.
Section 3.16 Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. To the extent
provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage Loans
contain enforceable due on sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause the
Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with the applicable Servicing
Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due on sale clause
or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with the applicable
Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the
original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with the
applicable Servicing Agreement.
Section 3.17 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon (i) the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes or (ii) otherwise in connection with the servicing of any Mortgage
Loan, the Master Servicer shall, upon receipt of notification from the related
Servicer pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement which notification shall
state that such payment in full has been deposited in the Collection Account or
has otherwise been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, instruct
the related Custodian to, and the related Custodian shall, release the related
Mortgage File to the related Servicer. Upon notification, the Trustee shall at
the related Custodian's direction execute and deliver to the related Custodian
the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of
mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage in each case
provided by the related Custodian, together with the Mortgage Note with written
evidence of cancellation thereon. Expenses incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the
related Mortgagor.
If the Master Servicer or any related Servicer at any time seeks to
initiate a foreclosure proceeding in respect of any Mortgaged Property as
authorized by this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer or
any related Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for
signature, as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or
other documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action
brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or
rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at
law or in equity.
Subject to this Section 3.17, the Trustee shall execute, at the written
request of the Master Servicer, and furnish to the Master Servicer and any
Servicer such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master
Servicer or any Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties
hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Master
Servicer or any Servicers under such powers of attorney.
Section 3.18 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer
and the Custodians to Be Held for the Trustee. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall forward to the related
Custodian with an instruction to, and the related Custodian shall, place within
the Mortgage File and the Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer to transmit
to the related Custodian as required by this Agreement and the related Servicing
Agreement all documents and instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming
into the possession of the Master Servicer or related Servicer from time to time
and shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds received by the Master
Servicer or related Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the Master
Servicer, or related Servicer as Liquidation 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 Master Servicer, the related Servicer or the
related Custodian 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 or any Protected
Account, shall be held by the Master Servicer, the related Servicer or the
related Custodian for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the
sole and exclusive property of the Trust, subject to the applicable provisions
of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement. Each of the Master
Servicer and the Custodians also agrees that it shall not create, incur or
subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Collection
Account, 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 Master Servicer
shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts
that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement.
Section 3.19 Master Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its
activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain or
withdraw from the Collection Account an amount equal to all investment income
gained on amounts held in the Collection Account plus, with respect to the Xxxxx
Fargo Serviced Mortgage Loans for which the Master Servicer is entitled to a fee
(as specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), an additional fee equal to (i) the
Master Servicing Fee Rate multiplied by (ii) the Scheduled Principal Balance of
such Xxxxx Fargo Serviced Mortgage Loans as of the Due Date in the month
preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs. The Trust
Administrator will remit to the Master Servicer all investment income earned on
amounts held in the Distribution Account net of the WMMSC Investment Earnings
Amount, if any, which the Trust Administrator shall remit directly to WMMSC.
Section 3.20 Access to Certain Documentation. The Master Servicer and each
Custodian shall provide and the Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer to

FDIC and to comparable regulatory authorities supervising Holders of Subordinate
Certificates and the examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and
such other authorities, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
required by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such access shall be
afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request and
during normal business hours at the offices designated by the Master Servicer,
the related Custodian and the related Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall
limit the obligation of the Master Servicer, the related Custodian and the
related Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of
information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Master Servicer, the
related Custodian or the related Servicer to provide access as provided in this
Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this
Section. In fulfilling such requests, the Master Servicer and the related
Custodian shall not be responsible to determine the sufficiency of such
information.

deliver to the Depositor, each Rating Agency, the Trust Administrator and the

as to the signers thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Master
Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of the performance of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision and

Accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and
the Depositor to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and
records relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement or
of mortgage loans under pooling and servicing agreements substantially similar
to this Agreement (such statement to have attached thereto a schedule setting
forth the pooling and servicing agreements covered thereby) and that, on the
basis of such examination, conducted substantially in compliance with the
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such servicing has been
conducted in compliance with such pooling and servicing agreements except for
such significant exceptions or errors in records that, in the opinion of such
firm, the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers requires it to
report. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trust Administrator to
any Certificateholder upon request at the Master Servicer's expense, provided
such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trust Administrator.

agents. Each such policy or policies shall be in such form and such amount
generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicer. In the event that
any such policy or bond ceases to be in effect, the Master Servicer shall obtain
a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer or issuer, meeting the

Certificate Interest with respect to any Class of Senior Certificates, the
Class AX-1 Certificates, the Class AX-2 Certificates and the Class AX-3
Certificates remains unpaid after application of Available Funds in

remaining after payments on the Senior Certificates shall be applied to
cover such unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest, and shall be applied pro
rata based on the amounts of such unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest to
the extent there are insufficient funds to pay such amounts in full.
(ii) Prior to the Cross-Over Date, to the extent any PO Deferred
Amount has not been paid from Available Funds for the related Loan Group,
the available Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount shall be applied
to pay any such PO Deferred Amount. Any application of the Subordinate
Principal Distribution Amount for the Subordinate Certificates pursuant to
this paragraph (ii) will reduce distributions of such amount to the
Subordinate Certificates in reverse order of priority pursuant to the
priorities set forth in Section 4.02(a)(ii)(A) through (L).
(iii) If on any Distribution Date, one or more of the Certificate
Groups is an Undercollateralized Group, the available Subordinate
Principal Distribution Amount shall be paid to each such

Senior Certificates of each such Undercollateralized Group equals the
Group Pool Principal Balance of the related Loan Group (net of the
applicable PO Percentage of the Scheduled Principal Balance of each
Discount Mortgage Loan in such Loan Group, if any). If more than one of
such Certificate Groups is an Undercollateralized Group, the available
Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount shall be distributed between
such Undercollateralized Groups pro rata according to Group Pool Principal
Balances. Any application of the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount
for the Subordinate Certificates pursuant to this paragraph (ii) will
reduce distributions of such amount to the Subordinate Certificates in
reverse order of priority pursuant to the priorities set forth in Section
4.02(a)(ii)(A) through (L).
(iv) On or after the date on which the Class Principal Balances of
all of the Senior Certificates in any of the Certificate Groups have been
reduced to zero, amounts otherwise distributable as principal on the
Subordinate Certificates, up to the applicable Apportioned Subordinate
Principal Distribution Amount, shall be paid pro rata as principal to the
remaining Senior Certificates of such other Certificate Group or
Certificate Groups in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section
4.02(a)(i), provided that on such Distribution Date (a) the Aggregate
Subordinate Percentage for such Distribution Date is less than twice the
initial Aggregate Subordinate Percentage or (b) the average outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loans delinquent 60 days or more over
the last six months (including delinquent Mortgage Loans in bankruptcy,
and all Mortgage Loans in foreclosure and REO Properties) as a percentage
of the Group Subordinate Amount is greater than or equal to 50%. Any
application of the Apportioned Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount
to the Senior Certificates pursuant to this paragraph will reduce
distributions of the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount to the
Subordinate Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class Principal Balances
of the Subordinate Certificates.
(f) In the event that the Trust Fund is terminated at the Master
Servicer's election pursuant to Section 10.01(a), the Trust Administrator shall

allocated as follows:
(i) the applicable PO Percentage of any Realized Loss, including any
Excess Loss, shall be allocated (A) to the Class 15-PO Certificates in the
case of a Realized Loss occurring on any Discount Mortgage Loan in the
15-Year Loan Groups, until the Class Principal Balance of the Class 15-PO
Certificates is reduced to zero; and (B) to the Class 30-PO Certificates,
in the case of a Realized Loss occurring on any Discount Mortgage Loan in
the 30-Year Loan Groups, until the Class Principal Balance of the Class
30-PO Certificates is reduced to zero;
(ii) the applicable Non-PO Percentage of any Realized Loss with
respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than an Excess Loss) shall be
allocated first to the Subordinate Certificates in reverse order of their
respective numerical Class designations (beginning with the Class of
Subordinate Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class
designation) until the respective Class Principal Balance of each such
Class is reduced to zero, and second to the Senior Certificates of the
related Certificate Group (not including the Interest Only and Principal
Only Certificates) pro rata on the basis of their respective Class
Principal Balances immediately prior to the related Distribution Date
until the Class Principal Balance of each such Class has been reduced to
zero; provided, however, that after the Cross-Over Date, the Class 6-A-2
Certificates will bear the principal portion of all Realized Losses (other
than Excess Losses) allocable to the Class 6-A-1 Certificates for so long
as the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 6-A-2 Certificates is
greater than zero; and
(iii) the applicable Non-PO Percentage of any Excess Losses
occurring on any Mortgage Loan shall be allocated among (1) the Group 1
Certificates, in the case of an Excess Loss on a Group 1 Mortgage Loan;
the Group 2 Certificates, in the case of an Excess Loss on a Group 2
Mortgage Loan; the Group 3 Certificates, in the case of an Excess Loss on

the Group 7 Certificates, in the case of an Excess Loss on a Group 7
Mortgage Loan; the Group 8 Certificates, in the case of an Excess Loss on
a Group 8 Mortgage Loan; the Group 9 Certificates, in the case of an
Excess Loss on a Group 9 Mortgage Loan; and the Group 10 Certificates, in
the case of an Excess Loss on a Group 10 Mortgage Loan; (other than, in
each case, the related Interest Only Certificates and Principal Only
Certificates of such Certificate Group) and (2) each Class of Subordinate
Certificates, in the case of an Excess Loss on a Mortgage Loan, pro rata
based upon their respective Class Principal Balances or, in the case of
the Subordinate Certificates their pro-rata portion of the Group
Subordinate Amount for the Loan Group which incurred the Excess Loss
(based on their respective Class Principal Balances) after giving effect
to distributions of principal on such Distribution Date.
(b) The Class Principal Balance of the Class of Subordinate Certificates
then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation shall be reduced
on each Distribution Date by the sum of (i) the amount of any payments on the
Class PO Certificates in respect of any PO Deferred Amounts pursuant to Section
4.02(a) priority third, sub-clauses (A)(ii) and (B)(ii) and (ii) the amount, if
any, by which the aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of Senior
Certificates (other than the Class PO Certificates) and Subordinate Certificates
(after giving effect to the distribution of principal and the allocation of
Realized Losses with respect to the Mortgage Loans) exceeds the Aggregate Pool
Principal Balance for the following Distribution Date, less any Deficient
Valuations occurring before the Bankruptcy Loss Coverage Amount has been reduced
to zero and less the PO Percentage of any Discount Mortgage Loans.
(c) Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Certificate or any reduction in
the Certificate Principal Balance of a Certificate, pursuant to Section 4.03(a)
or (b) above shall be accomplished by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance
thereof, as applicable, immediately following the distributions made on the
related Distribution Date in accordance with the definition of "Certificate
Principal Balance" herein; provided that no Realized Loss with respect any Loan
Group shall be allocated to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of a Senior
Certificate (other than the Class PO Certificates) to the extent that such
allocation would reduce the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of all of
the Senior Certificates (other than the Class PO Certificates) and Subordinate
Certificates to an amount less than the Aggregate Pool Principal Balance for the
Loan Groups for the following Distribution Date minus any related Deficient
Valuations occurring before the Bankruptcy Loss Coverage Termination Date and
minus the PO Percentage of any Discount Mortgage Loans (such limitation, the
"Loss Allocation Limitation").
(d) Prior to the Cross-Over Date, with respect to any Non-PO Recoveries
received during a Prepayment Period with respect to any Mortgage Loans, the
Class Principal Balance of one or more Classes of Certificates that have
previously had Realized Losses allocated, will be increased for the related
Distribution Date, as follows:
(i) first, up to the amount of the Non-PO Recoveries with respect to
a Loan Group, the Class Principal Balance of each Class of Senior
Certificates (other than the Class PO Certificates and Interest Only
Certificates) in the Certificate Group corresponding to such Loan Group
will be increased, pro rata, up to the amount of the excess, if any, of
(x) unrecovered Realized Losses previously allocated to each such Class,
if any over (y) amounts previously applied to the increase of the Class
Principal Balance of such Class pursuant to this Section 4.03(d)(i); and
(ii) second, up to the amount of the Non-PO Recoveries remaining
after allocation pursuant to the preceding clause (i), the Class Principal
Balance of each Class of Subordinate Certificates, in order of seniority,
will be increased, by the amount of the excess, if any, of (x) unrecovered
Realized Losses previously allocated to each such Class, if any, over (y)
amounts previously applied to the increase of the Class Principal Balance
of such Class pursuant to this Section 4.03(d)(ii).
(e) With respect to any Distribution Date on or after the Cross-Over Date,
the Trust Administrator shall distribute the amount of any Recovery on a Loan
received during the calendar month prior to that Distribution Date as follows:
(i) (A) to the Class 15-PO Certificates, the PO Percentage of any
Recovery on a 15-Year Mortgage Loan and (B) to the Class 30-PO
Certificates, the PO Percentage of any Recovery on a 30-Year Mortgage
Loan; and
(ii) to the Classes of Senior Certificates (other than the Class PO
Certificates and Interest Only Certificates) of the Certificate Group
corresponding to the Loan Group of the Mortgage Loan for which the
Recovery was received, pro rata, the amount of the Recovery remaining
after distribution pursuant to the preceding clause (i);
provided, however, that any distribution to a Class of Certificates pursuant to
this Section 4.03(e) shall not reduce the Class Principal Balance of such Class.

later than two Business Days prior to each Distribution Date, the Master

later than each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall make available

Parties that are unable to use the above distribution method are entitled to

the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the
Trust Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to
time in effect.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 The Certificates. The Certificates shall be substantially in
the forms attached hereto as Exhibits A through F. 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.
Subject to Section 10.02 hereof respecting the final distribution on the
Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator in writing 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 Trust Administrator by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing
the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when
such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust
Administrator shall bind the Trust Administrator, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the
authentication and delivery of 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 authenticated by the
Trust Administrator by manual signature, and such authentication 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 authentication. On the Closing Date, the Trust
Administrator shall authenticate 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 Trust
Administrator 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 Trust Administrator shall maintain, or cause to be
maintained in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.02 hereof, 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust
Administrator 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 Trust Administrator. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trust Administrator shall
execute, authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder
making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator
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 by the
Trust Administrator.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trust Administrator in
accordance with the Trust Administrator'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 the
event that a transfer 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 and
such Certificateholder's prospective transferee (other than the Depositor or an
affiliate of the Depositor) shall each certify to the Trust Administrator in
writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the forms set forth
in Exhibit J (the "Transferor Certificate") and (i) deliver a letter in
substantially the form of either Exhibit K (the "Investment Letter") or Exhibit
L (the "Rule 144A Letter") or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trust
Administrator at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel addressed
to the Trust Administrator that such transfer may be made pursuant to an
exemption from the Securities Act. 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, the Trust
Administrator and the Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor, in
accordance with the Depositor's request, in providing the Rule 144A information
referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor, to
the extent in its possession, 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 Trust Administrator, the Depositor
and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is
not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made (other than
to the Depositor or an affiliate of the Depositor) unless the Trust
Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the
transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trust Administrator (in the event such Certificate is a
Private Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by the Trust
Administrator's receipt of a representation letter from the transferee
substantially in the form of Exhibit K or Exhibit L), to the effect that such
transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Title I of
ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a plan or
arrangement 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, which representation
letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the
Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund, (ii) in the
case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than a Residual Certificate, 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 any ERISA-Restricted Certificate other
than a Residual 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 a plan or arrangement subject to Similar Law (or
comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), 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 Trust Administrator, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master
Servicer or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trust Administrator and the Trustee
to the effect that the purchase or holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate
will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the
meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law and will not
subject the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Transferor or
the Master Servicer to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken
in this Agreement or to any liability under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or
any Similar Law. For purposes of the preceding sentence, with respect to an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Private Certificate, in the event the
representation letter referred to in the preceding sentence is not so furnished,
such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Trust Administrator
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 Residual Certificate, to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject
to ERISA, the Code or Similar Law without the delivery to the Trust
Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trust Administrator
as described above shall be void and of no effect and (b) any purported transfer
of a 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator in accordance with the foregoing
requirements. Neither the Trust Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall be
required to monitor, determine or inquire as to the compliance with the transfer
restrictions with respect to any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is a Book
Entry Certificate, and neither the Trust Administrator nor the Master Servicer
shall have any liability for transfers of any such Book Entry Certificates made
through the book entry facilities of any Depository or between or among
Depository Participants or Certificate Owners made in violation of the transfer
restrictions set forth herein.
(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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust
Administrator shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate
unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the
Trust Administrator under subparagraph (b) above, the Trust Administrator
shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of
the initial owner or the proposed transferee (other than the Depositor of
an affiliate thereof) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.
(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 Trust Administrator shall be
under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a
Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by 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 either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The
Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the
Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator, 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 described in clauses (i)
through (iv) of the definition thereof.
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 Trust Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to
the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and the Master Servicer, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Transferor or the Master Servicer, to the effect that the
elimination of such restrictions will not cause any 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 addressed to the Trust Administrator and 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 Trust
Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 representative
shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to
different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trust Administrator may conclusively
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 Trust Administrator
in writing that the Depository is no longer willing, qualified or able to
properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Depositor is
unable to locate a qualified successor, (y) the Depositor notifies the Trust
Administrator and the Depository of its intent to terminate the book-entry
system through the Depository and, upon receipt of notice of such intent from
the Depository, the Depository Participants holding beneficial interests in the
Book-Entry Certificates agree to initiate such termination, or (z) after the
occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Termination, Certificate Owners
representing at least 51% of the Class Principal Balance of the Book-Entry
Certificates together advise the Trust Administrator and the Depository through
the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry
system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the
Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants consent to the termination,
the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of notice of such event, shall notify all
Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event
and of the availability of definitive, fully registered Certificates (the
"Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender to the Trust Administrator of the related Class of Certificates by the
Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for
registration, the Trust Administrator shall issue the Definitive Certificates.
None of the Master Servicer, the Depositor nor the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect to
such Definitive Certificates and the Trust Administrator shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided
that the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator, or the Trust
Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Master Servicer, the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice
to the Trust Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona
fide purchaser, the Trust Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver,
in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In
connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the
Trust Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any
other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trust Administrator and
its counsel) 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator 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 Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator, (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 or Master Servicer shall request such information in writing from the
Trust Administrator, then the Trust Administrator shall, within ten Business
Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor, the Master
Servicer or such Certificateholders at such recipients' expense the most recent
list of the Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the Trust
Administrator, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving
and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trust Administrator 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. Certificates may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator will give prompt
written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location of any
such office or agency.

United States or under the laws of one of the states thereof and will each
obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation or

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, the Master Servicer or either
Custodian may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger
or consolidation to which the Depositor, the Master Servicer or either Custodian
shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the

qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac.
Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Transferor, the
Master Servicer, the Custodians and Others. None of the Depositor, the

officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master
Servicer or the Custodians shall be under any liability to the Trust for any

pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master
Servicer, the Custodians or any such Person against any breach of
representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor, the
Transferor, the Master Servicer, the Custodians or any such Person from any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad

employee or agent of the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer or
either Custodian may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie

and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Transferor,
the Master Servicer or either Custodian shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund
and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection

respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and
interests of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Certificateholders

Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection
Account.
Section 6.04 Limitation on Resignation of Master Servicer. The Master
Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it
except (a) upon appointment of a successor master servicer and receipt by the
Trustee of a letter from each Rating Agency that such a resignation and
appointment will not result in a downgrading of the rating of any of the
Certificates, or (b) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law, or (c) pursuant to Section 6.05. Any such
determination under clause (b) permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer

successor master servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's
responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.

assumption agreement or delegation; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior
written notice of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer

prior to such sale, assignment or delegation; and (iii) the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,
each stating that all conditions precedent to such action under this Agreement

(i) The Master Servicer fails to cause to be deposited in the
Distribution Account any amount so required to be deposited pursuant to
this Agreement, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of one
Business Day; or
(ii) The Master Servicer fails to observe or perform in any material
respect any other material covenants and agreements set forth in this
Agreement to be performed by it, which covenants and agreements materially
affect the rights of Certificateholders, and such failure continues
unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice
of such failure, properly requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or to the Master Servicer
and the Trustee or the Trust Administrator by the Holders of Certificates
evidencing Voting Rights aggregating not less than 25% of the
Certificates; or
(iii) There is entered against the Master Servicer a decree or order
by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the
premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator in
any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities
or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its
affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order is unstayed and
in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days, or an involuntary case is
commenced against the Master Servicer under any applicable insolvency or
reorganization statute and the petition is not dismissed within 60 days
after the commencement of the case; or
(iv) The Master Servicer consents to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of
debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or
relating to the Master Servicer or substantially all of its property; or
the Master Servicer admits in writing its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due, files a petition to take advantage of any
applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, makes an assignment for
the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspends payment of its
obligations; or
(v) The Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or rights
under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions permitting such
assignment or delegation under Section 6.05.
In each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of
Termination with respect to the Master Servicer shall not have been remedied,
the Trustee may, and (i) at the direction of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing Voting Rights aggregating not less than 25% of the Certificates or
(ii) if such Master Servicer Event of Termination is related to a failure by the
Master Servicer to make any Advance required to be made by it pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, the Trustee shall, in each case by notice in writing to
the Master Servicer, with a copy to the Rating Agencies, terminate all of the
rights and obligations (but not the liabilities accruing prior to the date of
termination) of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the
Mortgage Loans and/or the REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer and the
proceeds thereof. Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written
notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement,
whether with respect to the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans, the Servicing
Agreements, REO Property or under any other related agreements (but only to the
extent that such other agreements relate to the Mortgage Loans or related REO
Property) shall, subject to Section 7.02, automatically and without further
action pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.01; and,
without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise,
any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other
acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of
the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer
agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicer's rights and obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer to the Trustee of (i) the Mortgage Files and all other property and
amounts which are then or should be part of the Trust or which thereafter become
part of the Trust; and (ii) originals or copies of all documents of the Master
Servicer reasonably requested by the Trustee to enable it to assume the Master
Servicer's duties thereunder. In addition to any other amounts which are then,
or, notwithstanding the termination of its activities under this Agreement, may
become payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to receive, out of any amount received on account of a
Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, that portion of such payments which it
would have received as reimbursement under this Agreement if notice of
termination had not been given. The termination of the rights and obligations of
the Master Servicer shall not affect any obligations incurred by the Master
Servicer prior to such termination.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Master Servicer
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late
collection of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the
notice terminating such Master Servicer's rights and obligations as Master
Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to which
such Master Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.10(a)(i)
through (viii) and (x), and any other amounts payable to such Master Servicer
hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its
activities hereunder.
Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the
time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section
7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the extent provided in Section
3.05, be the successor to the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer
under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and
shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, liabilities and
limitations on liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the
terms and provisions hereof and applicable law including the obligation to make
Advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall
be entitled to all compensation to which the Master Servicer would have been
entitled hereunder if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the
Master Servicer in accordance with Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee may, if it
shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law
from making Advances pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof or if it is otherwise
unable to so act, or if it has been requested in writing by Holders of
Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the
Certificates to do so, 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 Master Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Master Servicer hereunder. Any successor to the Master Servicer shall be an
institution which is a Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer in
good standing, which has a net worth of at least $15,000,000, and which is
willing to master service the Mortgage Loans and executes and delivers to the
Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment,
which contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer (other than
liabilities of the Master Servicer under Section 6.03 hereof incurred prior to
termination of the Master Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if
originally named as a party to this Agreement; and provided further 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 Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is
prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 3.05 hereof, 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 master servicer out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such
successor master servicer shall agree; provided, however, that no such
compensation shall be in excess of the compensation permitted the Master
Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such successor master 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 master 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 Master Servicer to
deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash,
information, documents or records to it.
Any successor master servicer as Master Servicer shall give notice to the
Servicers of such change of master servicer and shall, during the term of its
service as master servicer enforce the requirement of the Servicers to maintain
in force the policy or policies pursuant to Section 3.11.
The Trustee or successor master servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed from the Master Servicer for all costs associated with the transfer
of master servicing from the predecessor master servicer, including, without
limitation, any costs or expenses (including but not limited to personnel time)
associated with the complete transfer of all master servicing data and the
completion, correction or manipulation of such master servicing data as may be
required by the Trustee or successor master servicer to correct any errors or
insufficiencies in the master servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee
or successor master servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans properly and
effectively. If the Master Servicer does not pay such reimbursement within
thirty (30) days of its receipt of an invoice therefor, such reimbursement shall
be an expense of the Trust and the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw such
reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to
Section 3.10(b)(iii); provided that the Master Servicer shall reimburse the
Trust for any such expense incurred by the Trust.
Section 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders. (a) Upon any termination
of or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee (or the
Trust Administrator on its behalf) shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Master Servicer Event of
Termination, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall transmit by mail to
all Certificateholders notice of each such Master Servicer Event of Termination
hereunder actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, unless such Master Servicer Event of Termination shall have been
cured or waived.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THE MASTER SERVICER
Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a
Master Servicer Event of Termination and after the curing or waiver of all
Master Servicer Events of Termination that may have occurred, shall undertake to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case a Master Servicer Event of Termination has occurred and
remains uncured or unwaived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill
in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs, but only until such
time as a successor Master Servicer shall have been appointed hereunder.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision
of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form
required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be
responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate,
statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument. If any such
instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements
of this Agreement, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders of such non
conforming instrument in the event the Trustee, after so requesting, does not
receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or
its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) unless a Master Servicer Event of Termination of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge shall have
occurred and be continuing, the duties and obligations of the Trustee
shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement,
the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties
and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against
the Trustee and the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be
genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities
respecting any matters arising hereunder;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made
in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the
Trustee, unless it shall be conclusively determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction, such determination no longer subject to appeal,
that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25%
of the Voting Rights of Certificates relating to the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power
conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement;
(iv) the Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no liability
and makes no representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the
Master Servicer until such time as the Trustee may be required to act as
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 and thereupon only for the acts
or omissions of the Trustee as successor Master Servicer; and
(v) the Trustee shall promptly remit to the Master Servicer any
complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document (collectively, the
"Notices") delivered to the Trustee as a consequence of the assignment of
any Mortgage Loan hereunder and relating to the servicing of the Mortgage
Loans; provided that any such Notice (i) is delivered to the Trustee at
its Corporate Trust Office; and (ii) contains information sufficient to
permit the Trustee to make a determination that the real property to which
such document related is a Mortgaged Property. The Trustee shall have no
duty hereunder with respect to any Notice it may receive or which may be
alleged to have been delivered to or served upon it unless such Notice is
delivered to it or served upon it at its Corporate Trust Office and such
Notice contains the information required pursuant to clause (ii) of the
preceding sentence.
Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 8.01:
(i) the Trustee may request and conclusively rely upon and shall be
fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and
the Trustee shall have no responsibility to ascertain or confirm the
genuineness of any signature of any such party or parties;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisers or
accountants and the advice of any such counsel, financial advisers or
accountants and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or
suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with
such advice or Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or
within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this
Agreement;
(iv) prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Termination and after the curing or waiver of all Master Servicer Events
of Termination which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to
make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates evidencing not
less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of
Certificates; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be
incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of
the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security
afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to
so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be
paid by the Master Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be
reimbursed by the Master Servicer upon demand. Nothing in this clause (iv)
shall derogate from the obligation of the Master Servicer to observe any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the
Mortgagors;
(v) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys or a custodian and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any
misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or
custodian appointed by the Trustee with due care;
(vi) the Trustee shall not be required to risk or expend its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder
if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured
to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any
event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of
performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the
successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges
of, the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(vii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment
of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than as issuer of the
investment security);
(viii) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master
Servicer Event of Termination until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written
notice of such failure from the Master Servicer or the holders of
Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of
Certificates. In the absence of such receipt of such notice, the Trustee
may conclusively assume that there is no Master Servicer Event of
Termination;
(ix) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
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
the provisions of 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;
The Trustee shall have no duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or
depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any
financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or
to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to
any rerecording, refiling or redepositing thereof, (B) to see to the provision
of any insurance or (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax,
assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind
owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund
other than from funds available in the Distribution Account.
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 or the Transferor, as the case may be, and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document. The Trustee shall not
be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or the Master
Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer in respect of
the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account or
the Distribution Account by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trust
Administrator.
Section 8.04 Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its individual
or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates and may
transact business with the parties hereto and their Affiliates with the same
rights as it would have if it were not the Trustee.
Section 8.05 Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The Trustee shall be compensated
by the Master Servicer as separately agreed with the Master Servicer. The
Trustee and any director, officer, employee, agent or "control person" within
the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities
Exchange of 1934, as amended ("Control Person"), of the Trustee shall be
indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or
expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) (i) incurred in connection with
any claim or legal action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b) the Mortgage Loans
or (c) the Certificates, (ii) incurred in connection with the performance of any
of the Trustee's duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense
incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of any of the Trustee's duties hereunder, (iii) incurred by reason
of any action of the Trustee taken at the direction of the Certificateholders
and (iv) resulting from any error in any tax or information return prepared by
the Master Servicer, provided that any such loss, liability or expense
constitutes an "unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC" within the meaning
of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). Such indemnity shall survive
the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee
hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, and except for any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct, or which would not be an "unanticipated expense" within the
meaning of the second preceding sentence, the Trustee shall be reimbursed by the
Trust for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made
by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement with
respect to: (A) the reasonable compensation and the 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, appraiser or other agent that is not regularly employed by
the Trustee, to the extent that the Trustee must engage such Persons to perform
acts or services hereunder and (C) printing and engraving expenses in connection
with preparing any Definitive Certificates. The Trust shall fulfill its
obligations under this paragraph from amounts on deposit from time to time in
the Distribution Account.
Section 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee hereunder
shall at all times be a corporation or association organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority and with a credit rating of at least investment
grade. 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 the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section
8.07 hereof. The entity serving as Trustee may have normal banking and trust
relationships with the Depositor and its affiliates or the Master Servicer and
its affiliates; provided, however, that such entity cannot be an affiliate of
the Master Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the
Master Servicer.
Section 8.07 Resignation and Removal of 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 and the Master Servicer and 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 by the Depositor and have accepted appointment within 30
days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof 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 Master Servicer
may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in
triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Master 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 instruments shall
be delivered by the successor Trustee to the Master Servicer, one complete set
to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed.
Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each Rating Agency by the
successor trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall become
effective upon acceptance by the successor trustee of appointment as provided in
Section 8.08 hereof.
Section 8.08 Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as
provided in Section 8.07 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Depositor and to its predecessor trustee and the Master 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
Master Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such
rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and its appointment shall
not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates, as confirmed
in writing by each Rating Agency.
Upon acceptance by a successor trustee of appointment 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 by the successor trustee of appointment,
the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Depositor.
Section 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any corporation or other
entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation or other entity succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be
the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation or other
entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, 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 Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power
and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons
approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the
Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity 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 Master
Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master
Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case a Master Servicer Event of
Termination 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:
(i) 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 (as
successor master servicer) under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf
of the Master 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 Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be
incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of
title to the 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;
(ii) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason
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; and
(iii) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any 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
Master 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 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 Master Servicer covenants and agrees that
it shall act as agent (and the Master Servicer is hereby appointed to act as
agent) on behalf of such REMIC and that in such capacity it shall:
(a) prepare, submit to the Trustee for execution, and file, or cause to be
prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment
Conduit (REMIC) Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by
the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and
filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax
authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect
to such REMIC, 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 or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules,
statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required
thereby, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue
discount using the Prepayment Assumption;
(b) apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal Revenue
Service via Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for such REMIC and within
thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished 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 or cause to be made elections that such assets be treated as a
REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary,
under applicable state law);
(d) 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 described in clauses (i) (iv) of the definition thereof, or an agent
(including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a non Permitted Transferee
(the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged
to the Person liable for such tax);
(e) 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 as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions;
(f) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any
action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status;
(g) not permit the creation of any interests in such REMIC other than the
Certificates;
(h) not receive any amount representing a fee or other compensation for
services (except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement);
(i) receive any income attributable to any asset which is neither a
"qualified mortgage" nor a "permitted investment" within the meaning of the
REMIC Provisions;
(j) not receive any contributions to such REMIC after the Startup Day that
would be subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code;
(k) not dispose of any assets of such REMIC at a gain if such disposition
would be a "prohibited transaction" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2) of
the Code;
(l) 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 such REMIC prior to its termination when
and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent
the Master Servicer or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax
in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Master Servicer from
causing the withholding of payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the
outcome of such proceedings);
(m) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information returns
shall be signed by the Trustee or such other Person as may be required to sign
such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; and
(n) maintain records relating to such REMIC, including but not limited to
the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the 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.
The Holders of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class A-R and Class
A-LR Certificates shall act as "tax matters person" for each of the Upper-Tier
REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC, respectively, within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d), and the Master Servicer is hereby designated as
agent of such Class A-LR and Class A-R Certificateholders for such purposes (or
if the Master Servicer is not so permitted, such Holder shall be the tax matters
person in accordance with the REMIC Provisions). In such capacity, the Master
Servicer shall, as and when necessary and appropriate, represent the related
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 such REMIC, enter into settlement
agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of
limitations relating to any tax item of such REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf
of such REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it.
In order to enable the Master Servicer to perform its duties as set forth
herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Master
Servicer within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or data
that the Master Servicer requests in writing and determines to be relevant for
tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates,
including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and
projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the
Depositor shall provide to the Master Servicer promptly upon written request
therefor, any such additional information or data that the Master Servicer may,
from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Master Servicer to
perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the
Master Servicer for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the
Master Servicer arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Master
Servicer that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause
to be provided, accurate information or data to the Master Servicer on a timely
basis.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of any
REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income
from foreclosure property" of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the
Code, on any contribution to such REMIC after the Startup Day pursuant to
Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, if not paid as
otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Master
Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, respectively, if any such
other tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, respectively, of any of its obligations
under this Agreement, (ii) the Transferor, if any such tax arises out of or
results from the Transferor's obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant
to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iii) in all other cases, or in the event that the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Transferor 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 3.10(b).
Section 8.12 Periodic Filings. (a) With respect to each Distribution Date,
prior to the issuance of the related monthly statement to Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 4.04 (each, a "Distribution Date Statement"), the Master
Servicer shall confirm that it has received all distribution and/or servicing
information required to be provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer for
inclusion in such Distribution Date Statement. In the event the Master Servicer
determines that any such information has not been provided as required or is
materially incorrect, the Master Servicer shall immediately notify the
applicable Servicer and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Servicer to
provide or correct, as the case may be, such information promptly (but in any
event in time to permit the Master Servicer to distribute the Distribution Date
Statement at the time required in this Agreement).
(b) Promptly upon receipt by the Master Servicer of (i) any officer's
certificate relating to any Servicer's annual compliance with the terms of the
applicable Servicing Agreement, (ii) any report of any Servicer's independent
public accountants relating to the Servicer's compliance with servicing
standards, as required under the applicable Servicing Agreement and (iii) any
report of the Master Servicer's independent public accountants required pursuant
to Section 3.22, the Master Servicer shall review such officer's certificate and
reports. As part of the Form 10-K required to be filed pursuant to paragraph (c)
of this Section 8.12, the Master Servicer shall include each such Servicer's
annual statement of compliance (as well as any annual statement of compliance
required pursuant to Section 3.21), and each such accountant's report, as well
as a report of any significant deficiencies relating to any Servicer's
performance of its obligations under the applicable Servicing Agreement.
(c) The Master Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor to
enable the Trust to satisfy its reporting requirements under the Exchange Act.
The Master Servicer shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any Forms 8-K (or other
comparable required Form containing the same or comparable information or other
information mutually agreed upon) and 10-K customary for similar securities as
required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, and the Master Servicer shall sign and file (via the Securities and
Exchange Commission's Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such forms
on behalf of the Trust.
(d) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Master Servicer within 15 days
after each Distribution Date and shall include a copy of the statement to
Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to
March 30th of each year beginning in 2005 (or such earlier date as may be
required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder), the Master Servicer shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as
required by applicable law or applicable Securities and Exchange Commission
staff's interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the annual
statements of compliance, the accountant's reports, any report of significant
deficiencies relating to any Servicer's performance of its obligations under the
applicable Servicing Agreement described in paragraph (b) of this Section 8.12
and any other exhibits that may be required as a result of any new rules adopted
by the Securities and Exchange Commission, in each case to the extent they have
been timely delivered to the Master Servicer. If they are not so timely
delivered, the Master Servicer shall file an amended Form 10-K including such
documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the Master
Servicer. The Master Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any
failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or
relating to the Master Servicer's inability or failure to obtain any information
not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Each
Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit N or in such other form as may be required by Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14
under the Exchange Act, as applicable, and any existing or future directives or
interpretations thereof or rules subsequently adopted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Certification"), which Certification shall be signed
by a Master Servicing Officer.
(e) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of such executed
report, statement or information.
(f) Prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Master Servicer is
able to do so under applicable law, the Master Servicer shall file a Form 15
Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust, unless instructed in writing
by the Depositor not to do so.
ARTICLE IX
CONCERNING THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR
Section 9.01 Duties of Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator shall
undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set

whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that
the Trust Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of
any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or
other instrument. If any such instrument is found not to conform in any material
respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trust Administrator shall
notify the Certificateholders of such non-conforming instrument in the event the
Trust Administrator, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily
corrected instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trust

failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) the duties and obligations of the Trust Administrator shall be
determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trust
Administrator shall not be liable except for the performance of such
duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against
the Trust Administrator and the Trust Administrator may conclusively rely,

expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trust Administrator and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement
which it believed in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly
executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising
hereunder;
(ii) the Trust Administrator shall not be liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers of the Trust Administrator, unless it shall be conclusively
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, such determination no
longer subject to appeal, that the Trust Administrator was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) the Trust Administrator shall not be liable with respect to
any action or inaction taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in
good faith in accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of Certificates relating
to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trust Administrator, or exercising or omitting to
exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Trust Administrator under
this Agreement; and
(iv) the Trust Administrator shall not be accountable, shall have no
liability and makes no representation as to any acts or omissions
hereunder of the Master Servicer or the Trustee.

otherwise provided in Section 9.01:
(i) the Trust Administrator may request and conclusively rely upon
and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it
to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties and the Trust Administrator shall have no responsibility to
ascertain or confirm the genuineness of any signature of any such party or
parties;
(ii) the Trust Administrator may consult with counsel, financial
advisers or accountants and the advice of any such counsel, financial

consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless

less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of
Certificates; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Trust Administrator of the costs, expenses or liabilities
likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the
opinion of the Trust Administrator, not reasonably assured to the Trust
Administrator by the security afforded to it by the terms of this

against such expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding. Nothing
in this clause (iv) shall derogate from the obligation of the Master

information regarding the Mortgagors;
(v) the Trust Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through

care;
(vi) the Trust Administrator shall not be required to risk or expend
its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights
or powers hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in
this Agreement shall in any event require the Trust Administrator to
perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the
obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, except during

and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the
Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

exercise any of the 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

such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trust Administrator
reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trust Administrator
against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein
or thereby; and
(x) the Trust Administrator shall have no obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties
hereunder and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, that the Trust Administrator may in its
discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or
desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereto and the interests of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator
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 Trust

Loans. The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as
the statements of the Depositor or the Transferor, as the case may be, and the
Trust Administrator assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trust
Administrator 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 Trust Administrator's execution and
authentication of the Certificates. The Trust Administrator shall not be
accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or the Master Servicer

harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney's
fees) (i) incurred in connection with any claim or legal action relating to (a)

or negligence in the performance of any of the Trust Administrator's duties
hereunder, (ii) incurred in connection with the performance of any of the Trust
Administrator's duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense
incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of any of the Trust Administrator's duties hereunder or (iii)
incurred by reason of any action of the Trust Administrator taken at the
direction of the Certificateholders, provided that any such loss, liability or
expense constitutes an "unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC" within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). Such indemnity shall
survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the
Trust Administrator hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, and except for
any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trust
Administrator's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or which would not
be an "unanticipated expense" within the meaning of the second preceding
sentence, the Trust Administrator shall be reimbursed by the Trust for all

TERMINATION
Section 10.01 Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of All Mortgage
Loans. (a) Subject to Section 10.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the
Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the
Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the
earlier of (i) the purchase, in accordance with this Section 10.01, of all
Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) remaining in the Trust Fund at the price
equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate Clean-up Call Mortgage Loan Price for all
the Mortgage Loans and (y) the aggregate Clean-up Call REO Property Price for
all the REO Properties, and (ii) the later of (x) 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 (y) 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 earlier of (i) 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 and (ii)
the Latest Possible Maturity Date. The right of the Master Servicer to elect to
terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to this clause (a) shall be conditioned upon
the Aggregate Pool Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, at the time of any
such repurchase, aggregating less than five percent (5%) of the aggregate
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
(b) Within two (2) Business Days after the Master Servicer has elected to
terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 10.01(a), the Master Servicer shall
deliver a bid notice for the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties to UBS
Securities LLC and at least two other institutions that are regular purchasers
and/or sellers in the secondary market of residential whole Mortgage Loans. The
bid notice shall specify the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties that are
being sold, and identify the aggregate Clean-up Call REO Property Price required
to be paid for the REO Properties and the other information necessary for the
bidders to make bids. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled to submit a bid
for the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties. All bids must be submitted to the
Master Servicer on a date determined by the Master Servicer, which date shall be
set forth in the bid notice. Only cash bids may be accepted. With respect to the
Mortgage Loans to be purchased, if one or more bids that exceed the aggregate
Par Call Price are received, the Fair Market Value Call Price for the Mortgage
Loans shall be equal to the price bid by the highest bidder, and such bidder
shall complete the purchase of the related Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties
from the Trust Fund at the aggregate Clean up Call Mortgage Loan Price for the
Mortgage Loans and the aggregate Clean-up Call REO Property Price for such REO
Properties before the final Distribution Date. With respect to the Mortgage
Loans to be purchased, if fewer than three bids are received or no bid exceeds
the aggregate of the Par Call Price for the Mortgage Loans, the Fair Market
Value Call Price shall be zero and the Master Servicer shall complete the
purchase of the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties from the Trust Fund at the
aggregate Clean up Call Mortgage Loan Price for the Mortgage Loans and the
aggregate Clean-up Call REO Property Price for the REO Properties before the
final Distribution Date.
Section 10.02 Final Distribution on the Certificates. If on any
Determination Date, the Master 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 Master Servicer shall direct the Trust
Administrator promptly to send a Notice of Final Distribution to each
Certificateholder. If the Master Servicer elects to terminate the Trust Fund
pursuant to clause (a) of Section 10.01, at least 5 days prior to the date
Notice of Final Distribution is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders,
the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee of the date the
Master Servicer intends to terminate the Trust Fund.
Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, 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 Trust
Administrator by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th
day of the month preceding the month of such final distribution and not later
than the 5th day of 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 location of the office or
agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and (c) 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 Trust Administrator will give
such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to
Certificateholders.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trust
Administrator shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each
Class, in the order set forth in Section 4.02 hereof, on the final Distribution
Date, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to
Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each Class of
Regular Certificates, the Certificate Principal Balance thereof plus (a) accrued
interest thereon (or on their Notional Amount, if applicable) in the case of an
interest-bearing Certificate and (b) any applicable PO Deferred Amounts in the
case of the Class PO Certificates, 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust
Administrator may take reasonable steps, or may appoint an agent to take
reasonable 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 of the Upper-Tier REMIC that remain subject hereto and
the (i) the Class A-LR Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed
funds and other assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC and (ii) the Class A-R
Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of
the Upper-Tier REMIC, in each case, that remain subject hereto.
Section 10.03 Additional Termination Requirements. (a) In the event the
Master Servicer exercises its purchase option as provided in Section 10.01, the
Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional
requirements, unless the Trust Administrator and the Trustee has been supplied
with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Master Servicer, to the effect
that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.03 will not
(i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in
Section 860F of the Code on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC, or
(ii) cause any such REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding:
(i) The notice given by the Master Servicer under Section 10.02
shall provide that such notice constitutes the adoption of a plan of
complete liquidation of the REMICs as of the date of such notice (or, if
earlier, the date on which the first such notice is mailed to
Certificateholders). The Master Servicer shall also specify such date in a
statement attached to the final tax return of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the
Lower-Tier REMIC; and
(ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete
liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trust
Administrator shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the Master
Servicer for cash at the purchase price specified in Section 10.01 and
shall distribute such cash within 90 days of such adoption in the manner
specified in Section 10.02.

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

expense of the party requesting the amendment, or if the Trust Administrator
requests the amendment, the Trust Fund), adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder; provided, however, 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; 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 Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor,
the Transferor, the Custodians and the Master 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
Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC under the Code, (ii) avoid
or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any REMIC pursuant to the

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.
Section 8.12 of this Agreement may also be amended by the Depositor, the

the consent of any of the Certificateholders, and without the need for any
Opinions of Counsel (other than the tax opinion described below) or Rating
Agency confirmation, in the event that new guidelines or procedures are issued
by the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the preparation and
filing of the Form 10-K and the Certification required to be attached thereto as
referenced in Section 8.12(d).
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Transferor, the Master Servicer, the Custodians, the Trust Administrator and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a Majority in Interest 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

delay the timing of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate

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 Trust
Administrator shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement (other than
pursuant to the second preceding paragraph) unless it shall have first received
an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator,
which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee or
the Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment is permitted hereunder and
will not cause the imposition of any tax under the REMIC Provisions on any REMIC
or the Certificateholders or cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier
REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring
the consent of Certificateholders, the Trust Administrator shall furnish written
notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each
Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this
Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall
be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of
obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as
the Trust Administrator may prescribe.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trust Administrator or Trustee
to enter into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel addressed to
the Trust Administrator and the Trustee (which Opinion shall not be an expense
of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the
Trust Administrator 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 11.01.
Section 11.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts. This Agreement (or

elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Master Servicer at the expense
of the Trust on direction by the Trust Administrator (acting at the written
direction of a Majority in Interest of the Certificateholders), but only upon
direction accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders.

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.

ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK

Section 11.04 Intention of Parties. It is the express intent of the
parties hereto that the conveyance of the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the
Trustee be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof to the Trustee. It is,
further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a
pledge thereof by the Depositor to the Trustee. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the
property of the Depositor, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or

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 conveyance 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 that constitute the Trust Fund, 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
Certificateholder.

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 Master Servicer or the Servicer, as the case may be,
hereby authorize 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 incident to the exercise
by the Depositor or the Trustee of any right under this Section 11.09 shall be

UBS Real Estate Securities Inc. (the "Transferor") hereby makes with
respect to those Mortgage Loans sold by it to the Depositor pursuant to the

as of the Closing Date or, if so specified herein, as of the Cut-off Date.
(i) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule was true
and correct in all material respects at the date or dates respecting which
such information is furnished as specified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(ii) Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment contemplated
herein, the Transferor was the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan
free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security
interests of any nature and has full right and authority to sell and
assign the same;
(iii) The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien
on the property therein described, and the Mortgaged Property is free and
clear of all encumbrances and liens having priority over the first lien of
the Mortgage except for liens for real estate taxes and special
assessments not yet due and payable and liens or interests arising under
or as a result of any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance
relating to hazardous wastes or hazardous substances, and, if the related
Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, any lien for common charges
permitted by statute or homeowners association fees; and if the Mortgaged
Property consists of shares of a cooperative housing corporation, any lien
for amounts due to the cooperative housing corporation for unpaid
assessments or charges or any lien of any assignment of rents or
maintenance expenses secured by the real property owned by the cooperative
housing corporation; and any security agreement, chattel mortgage or
equivalent document related to, and delivered to the Trustee or to the
Master Servicer with, any Mortgage establishes in the Transferor a valid
and subsisting first lien on the property described therein and the
Transferor has full right to sell and assign the same to the Trustee;
(iv) Neither the Transferor nor any prior holder of the Mortgage or
the related Mortgage Note has modified the Mortgage or the related
Mortgage Note in any material respect, satisfied, canceled or subordinated
the Mortgage in whole or in part, released the Mortgaged Property in whole
or in part from the lien of the Mortgage, or executed any instrument of
release, cancellation, modification or satisfaction, except in each case
as is reflected in an agreement delivered to the Trustee or the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 2.01;
(v) All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, and
water, sewer and municipal charges, which previously became due and owing
have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established, to the extent
permitted by law, in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item that
remains unpaid; and the Transferor has not advanced funds, or received any
advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or

which precedes by thirty days the first Due Date under the related
Mortgage Note;
(vi) The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by water, fire, earthquake,
earth movement other than earthquake, windstorm, flood, tornado or similar
casualty (excluding casualty from the presence of hazardous wastes or
hazardous substances, as to which the Transferor makes no
representations), so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged

there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial
condemnation of the Mortgaged Property;
(vii) The Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all mechanics' and
materialmen's liens or liens in the nature thereof; provided, however,

substance, the same protection afforded by this warranty is furnished to
the Trustee by the Transferor;
(viii) Except for Mortgage Loans secured by co op shares and
Mortgage Loans secured by residential long-term leases, the Mortgaged
Property consists of a fee simple estate in real property; all of the

federal laws, regulations and other requirements, pertaining to usury, and
the Mortgage Loan is not usurious;

Due Date immediately preceding the Cut-Off Date for such Mortgage Loan
under the terms of the related Mortgage Note have been made, and no
payment under any Mortgage Loan has been 30 days delinquent more than one
time within twelve months prior to the Closing Date;
(xii) The Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage and other agreements
executed in connection therewith are genuine, and each is the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance
with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors' rights generally and by general equity principles
(regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law); and, to the best of the Transferor's knowledge, all
parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to
execute the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and each Mortgage Note and
Mortgage has been duly and properly executed by the Mortgagor;
(xiii) Each Mortgage Loan at the time it was made complied in all
material respects with applicable local, state, and federal laws,
including, but not limited to, all applicable predatory and abusive
lending laws.
(xiv) None of the Mortgage Loans are "High Cost" as such term is
defined in HOEPA or a reasonably equivalent provision as defined by the
applicable predatory and abusive lending laws.
(xv) No Mortgage Loan, as of the date of origination thereof, was a
High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable, and no Mortgage Loan
originated on or after October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed
by the Georgia Fair Lending Act. No Mortgage Loan is covered by the Home

violation of any comparable state or local law;
(xvi) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loans have been fully disbursed,
there is no requirement for future advances thereunder and any and all
requirements as to completion of any on site or off site improvements and
as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with
(except for escrow funds for exterior items which could not be completed
due to weather and escrow funds for the completion of swimming pools); and
all costs, fees and expenses incurred in making, closing or recording the
Mortgage Loan have been paid, except recording fees with respect to
Mortgages not recorded as of the Closing Date;
(xvii) The Mortgage Loan (except any Mortgage Loan secured by a
Mortgaged Property located in any jurisdiction, as to which an opinion of
counsel of the type customarily rendered in such jurisdiction in lieu of
title insurance is instead received) is covered by an American Land Title
Association mortgagee title insurance policy or other generally acceptable
form of policy or insurance acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac,
issued by a title insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac insuring
the originator, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien
of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and
subject only to (A) the lien of current real property taxes and
assessments not yet due and payable, (B) covenants, conditions and
restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record

created pursuant to any federal, state or local law, regulation or
ordinance affording liens for the costs of clean up of hazardous
substances or hazardous wastes or for other environmental protection
purposes and (D) such other matters to which like properties are commonly
subject which do not individually, or in the aggregate, materially
interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the
Mortgage; the Transferor is the sole insured of such mortgagee title
insurance policy, the assignment to the Trustee of the Transferor's
interest in such mortgagee title insurance policy does not require any
consent of or notification to the insurer which has not been obtained or
made, such mortgagee title insurance policy is in full force and effect
and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the
Trustee, no claims have been made under such mortgagee title insurance
policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the
Transferor, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the
coverage of such mortgagee title insurance policy;
(xviii) The Mortgaged Property securing each Mortgage Loan is
insured by an insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac against loss
by fire and such hazards as are covered under a standard extended coverage
endorsement, in an amount which is not less than the lesser of 100% of the
insurable value of the Mortgaged Property and the outstanding principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan, but in no event less than the minimum amount
necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost
basis; if the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included
under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the project; if upon
origination of the Mortgage Loan, the improvements on the Mortgaged
Property were in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood
insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the

insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the
least of (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B)
the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property and (C) the maximum
amount of insurance which was available under the National Flood Insurance
Act of 1968, as amended; and each Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and
expense;

action is currently threatened or has been commenced, with respect to the
Mortgage Loan and the Transferor has not waived any default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration;
(xx) No Mortgage Note or Mortgage is subject to any right of
rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject it to any
right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense, including the
defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set off, counterclaim
or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;
(xxi) Each Mortgage Note is payable in monthly payments;
(xxii) Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions
such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate
for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the
security, including realization by judicial foreclosure (subject to any
limitation arising from any bankruptcy, insolvency or other law for the
relief of debtors), and there is no homestead or other exemption available
to the Mortgagor which would interfere with such right of foreclosure;
(xxiii) To the best of the Transferor's knowledge, no Mortgagor is a
debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;

residential property, which may include a detached home, townhouse,

of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code;
(xxvi) With respect to each Mortgage where a lost note affidavit has
been delivered to the Trustee in place of the related Mortgage Note, the
related Mortgage Note is no longer in existence;
(xxvii) In the event that the Mortgagor is an inter vivos "living"
trust, (i) such trust is in compliance with Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac
standards for inter vivos trusts and (ii) holding title to the Mortgaged
Property in such trust will not diminish any rights as a creditor
including the right to full title to the Mortgaged Property in the event
foreclosure proceedings are initiated;
(xxviii) If the Mortgage Loan is secured by a long-term residential
lease, (1) the lessor under the lease holds a fee simple interest in the
land; (2) the terms of such lease expressly permit the mortgaging of the
leasehold estate, the assignment of the lease without the lessor's consent
and the acquisition by the holder of the Mortgage of the rights of the
lessee upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or provide
the holder of the Mortgage with substantially similar protections; (3) the
terms of such lease do not (a) allow the termination thereof upon the
lessee's default without the holder of the Mortgage being entitled to
receive written notice of, and opportunity to cure, such default or (b)
allow the termination of the lease in the event of damage or destruction
as long as the Mortgage is in existence; (4) the term of such lease does
not terminate earlier than five years after the maturity date of the
Mortgage Note; and (5) the Mortgaged Property is located in a jurisdiction
in which the use of leasehold estates in transferring ownership in
residential properties is a widely accepted practice;

association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance
company or similar institution which is supervised and examined by a
federal or state authority;

selecting the Mortgage Loan from among the outstanding first-lien,
residential mortgage loans owned by it which were available for sale to
the Transferor;
(xxxii) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Transferor is in
possession of a complete Mortgage File except for the documents which have
been delivered to the Trustee or which have been submitted for recording
and not yet returned;
(xxxiii) As of the Cut-off Date, the range of original Loan-to-Value
Ratios of the Mortgage Loans is 10.17% to 100.00%, and 756 Mortgage Loans,
representing 12.63% of the Cut-off Date Pool Balance, had Loan-to-Value
Ratios at origination in excess of 80%. Each such Mortgage Loan is subject
to a Primary Insurance Policy, except for loan number 1628033420 on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(xxxiv) With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a prepayment
penalty feature, each such prepayment penalty is enforceable and, at the
time such Mortgage Loan was originated, each prepayment penalty complied
with applicable federal, state and local law, subject to federal
preemption where applicable;
(xxxv) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Servicing
Agreement requires the related Servicer to deposit into the related
Protected Account an amount equal to all payments of principal and
interest on such Mortgage Loan that are delinquent at the close of
business on the related Determination Date and not previously advanced by
such Servicer. The obligation of such Servicer to advance such payments as
to such Mortgage Loan will continue through the final disposition or
liquidation of the Mortgaged Property, unless such Servicer deems such
advance to be nonrecoverable from liquidation proceeds, REO disposition
proceeds, condemnation proceeds or insurance proceeds with respect to such
Mortgage Loan.

Principal in respect of this Certificate is distributable monthly as

guaranteed by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee
or the custodians referred to below or any of their respective affiliates.
Neither this Certificate nor the Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any

This certifies that UBS Securities LLC is the registered owner of
the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate in certain monthly
distributions with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage
Loans deposited by Mortgage Asset Securitization Transactions, Inc. (the
"Depositor"). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the "Agreement") among
the Depositor, UBS Real Estate Securities Inc., as transferor (the
"Transferor"), Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as master servicer (in such capacity, the

Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein
have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under
and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to
which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
No transfer of a Certificate of this Class 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 laws. In the event that a
transfer 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 and such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trust
Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the transfer or there shall be
delivered to the Trust Administrator at the expense of the transferor an Opinion
of Counsel addressed to the Trust Administrator that such transfer may be made
pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act. The Holder hereof desiring to
effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor against any liability
that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless the
Trust Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation letter from
the transferee of such Certificate, in the form attached to the Agreement, to
the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement
subject to Title I of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code, or a plan or arrangement
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, which representation letter shall not be an
expense of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Servicer, (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 any such 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 Similar Law (or comparable
provisions of any subsequent enactments), 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 Trust
Administrator to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Certificate
will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the
meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law and will not
subject the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Transferor or
the Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement
or to any liability under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor, the Transferor, the Servicer or the Trust Fund.
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of
a Certificate of this Class to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject
to ERISA, the Code or Similar Law without the Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to
the Trust Administrator as described above shall be void and of no effect.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this
Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for
all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
This Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless manually countersigned by an

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Mortgage Asset Securitization Transactions, Inc. MASTR Alternative
Loan Trust 2004-7, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, of the Series specified
on the face hereof (herein collectively called the "Certificates"), and
representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by the
Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for
payment hereunder and that the Trust Administrator is not liable to the
Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the
Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any
liability under the Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trust Administrator.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made
on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the
Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the
first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable
Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to
Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such
Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date applicable to each
Distribution Date is the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month
of such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder
shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in writing at least five Business
Days prior to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy
the conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or,
if not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such
Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final distribution
on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and
surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trust
Administrator or such other location specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trust Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement
at any time by the Transferor, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest, as
provided in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate
shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of
this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register of the Trust Administrator upon surrender of this
Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trust Administrator, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trust Administrator and the Certificate Registrar duly
executed by the holder hereof or such holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
in the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee and any agent
of the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
and neither the Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, nor any such
agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
On any Distribution Date on which the Pool Principal Balance is less
than 5% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans,
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. In
the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and
responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon 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
property in respect thereof and (ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of
all amounts required to be distributed pursuant to the Agreement. In no event,
however, will the trust created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration
of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the
date of the Agreement of a certain person named in the Agreement.
Any term used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the
meaning assigned in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed
inconsistent with that meaning.

MASTR ALTERNATIVE LOAN TRUST 2004-7
Mortgage Asset Securitization Transactions, Inc.
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
Series 2004-7
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 [A-LR][A-R] Certificate (the "Certificate")
issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of July 1, 2004
(the "Agreement") among Mortgage Asset Securitization Transactions, Inc., as
depositor, UBS Real Estate Securities Inc., as transferor (the "Transferor"),
Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as master servicer (in such capacity, the "Master
Servicer"), trust administrator (in such capacity, the "Trust Administrator")
and a custodian, U.S. Bank National Association, as a custodian (the
"Custodian") and 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.
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 either (i) for
its own account or (ii) as nominee, trustee or agent for another Person and has
attached hereto an affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as
this affidavit. The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is
false.
3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a
tax will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are
Disqualified Organizations; (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 a Disqualified Organization, 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 not a Disqualified Organization 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 a
Disqualified Organization 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 not a Disqualified Organization and the
pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false;
provided, that a pass-through entity which is an "electing large partnership"
under the Code will be subject to tax in all events. (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.) The Transferee further understands that it may incur tax liabilities
with respect to the holding of the Certificate in excess of cash flows generated
thereby.
5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of
the Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by
reference) 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 Trust Administrator a certificate
substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit I to the Agreement (a "Transferor
Certificate") to the effect that 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 historically has paid its debts as they have
become due and intends to do so in the future. The Transferee understands that
the taxable income and tax liability with respect to this Certificate will
exceed distributions with respect to the Certificate in some or all periods and
intends to pay all taxes 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) or is not a U.S. Person and has furnished the Transferor and the
Trust Administrator with a duly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI
or any applicable successor form.
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a
"noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of Treasury regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the
income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer
was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
11. The Transferee will not cause income with respect to the
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 United States Person.
12. Check one of the following paragraphs:
[ ] 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
Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,
(i) the Transferee is an "eligible corporation," as defined in
U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to
which income from the Certificate will only be taxed in the
United States;
(ii) at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the
Transferee's two fiscal years preceding the year of the
transfer, the Transferee had gross assets for financial
reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person
related to the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100
million and net assets in excess of $10 million;
(iii) the Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another
"eligible corporation," as defined in U.S. Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that
satisfies the requirements of U.S. Treasury Regulations
Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section
1.860E-1(c)(5); and
(iv) the Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to
acquire the Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions
(including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment
rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and
reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific
to the Transferee) that it has determined in good faith.
[ ] None of the above.
13. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject
to Title I of ERISA or a plan that is 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, and the Transferee is
not acting on behalf of such a plan.
* * *
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be
executed on its behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its
duly authorized officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly
attested, this ____________ day of __________________, 200_.

interest in such Certificate, including any interest in such Certificate as the

any Residual Certificate, (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives
described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code, (v) a Person that is not a

to EXHIBIT I
Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement
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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust
Administrator shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate
unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Trust
Administrator under subparagraph (b) above, the Trust Administrator shall have
been furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of the initial owner
or the proposed transferee (other than the Depositor of an affiliate thereof) in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.
(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 Trust Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person
for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not
permitted by 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 either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter.
The Trust Administrator 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 Trust
Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator, 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 described in clauses (i) through (iv)
of the definition thereof.
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 Trust Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel
addressed to the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and the Master Servicer, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator, the Transferor or the Master Servicer, to the effect that
the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any 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 addressed to the Trust Administrator and 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.
