PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT:
The

pool
of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets
(other than any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts, the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account, the Cap Account and the Cap Contract) subject to
this
Agreement as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such pool of assets
will be designated as “REMIC I.” The Class R-I Interest will be the sole class
of “residual interests” in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as
defined herein). The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation,
the

foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Sponsor fails to pay the cost of recording
the Assignments, such expense will be paid by each Servicer and each Servicer
shall be reimbursed for such expenses by the Trust as Servicing
Advances.
In
connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS
System, the Depositor further agrees that it will cause, within 30 Business
Days
after the Closing Date, the MERS System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans
have been assigned by the Depositor to the Trustee in accordance with this
Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including in such
computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee
and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the
Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Depositor
further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the related Servicer to,
and the related Servicer agrees that it will not and will not permit a
Sub-Servicer to, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect
to
any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such
Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
With
respect to a maximum of approximately 5.00% of the Original Mortgage Loans,
by
outstanding principal balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in (i) above cannot be located,
the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed
to be
satisfied upon delivery to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee)
of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note affidavit.
If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit was
delivered to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) is
subsequently located, such original Mortgage Note shall be delivered to the
Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) within three Business
Days.
The
Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or a Custodian
on behalf of the Trustee) promptly upon receipt thereof any other original
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any
Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing
an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan.
All
original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not delivered to
the
Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) are and shall be held by
or on
behalf of the Sponsor, the Depositor or the related Servicer, as the case may
be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
In the event that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms
of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be
delivered promptly to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee).
Any
such original document delivered to or held by the Depositor that is not
required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File,
shall be delivered promptly to the related Servicer.
Wherever
it is provided in this Section 2.01 that any document, evidence or information
relating to a Mortgage Loan be delivered or supplied to the Trustee, the
Depositor shall do so by delivery thereof to the Trustee or a Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee.
The
parties hereto understand and agree that it is not intended that any Mortgage
Loan be included in the Trust that is a high-cost home loan as defined by the
Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or any other applicable
predatory or abusive lending laws.
The
Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under the Cap Contract on the Closing Date and thereafter on behalf
of the Trust and the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates. The Sponsor,
the
Depositor, the related Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Holders of
the
Floating Rate Certificates by their acceptance of such Certificates acknowledge
and agree that the Trustee shall execute, deliver and perform the Trust Fund’s
obligations under the Cap Contract and shall do so solely in its capacity as
Trustee of the Trust Fund and not in its individual capacity. The Trustee shall
not have any responsibility for the contents, adequacy or sufficiency of the
Cap
contract, including, without limitation, any representations and warranties
contained therein.
SECTION 2.02 |
Acceptance
of the Trust Fund by the Trustee.
|
Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any exceptions noted on an
exception report delivered by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Trustee
acknowledges receipt of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than
such documents described in Section 2.01(iv)) above and all other assets
included in the definition of “Trust Fund” and declares that it holds and will
hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the
Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other
assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” in trust for the exclusive use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The
Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt, subject to
the
review described in the succeeding sentence, of the documents and other property
referred to in Section 2.01 and declares that the Trustee (or a Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee) holds and will hold such documents and other property,
including property yet to be received in the Trust Fund, in trust, upon the
trusts herein set forth, for the benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. The Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf shall,
for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, review each Mortgage
File within 90 days after execution and delivery of this Agreement, to ascertain
that all required documents have been executed, received and recorded, if
applicable, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans. If in the
course of such review the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf finds
a
document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be defective
in
any material respect, the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf shall
promptly so notify the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Sponsor, the
related Servicer and, if such notice is from the related Custodian on the
Trustee’s behalf, the Trustee. In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor,
the related Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee of a breach of
any
of the representations and warranties made by the related Originator or the
Sponsor in the related Assignment Agreement or by the Sponsor in the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially
adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related
Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
The
Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer herein
contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage
Notes
and the related documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any
liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and that such property not be part of the
Depositor’s estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any insolvency
by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be, or to
be
made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor shall be
deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee a first priority
perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest
in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the related
documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law.
The
Trustee may, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof or at any
time
thereafter, enter into a custodial agreement with a Custodian pursuant to which
the Trustee appoints a Custodian to hold the Mortgage Files on behalf of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Trustee and all present and future
Certificateholders, which may provide that the related Custodian shall, on
behalf of the Trustee, conduct the review of each Mortgage File required under
the first paragraph of this Section 2.02. Initially, Citibank West, FSB is
appointed as Custodian with respect to the related Mortgage Files of all the
related Mortgage Loans and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
it
is understood that such initial Custodian shall be responsible for the review
contemplated in the second paragraph of this Section 2.02 and for all other
functions relating to the receipt, review, reporting and certification provided
for herein with respect to the Mortgage Files (other than ownership thereof
for
the benefit of the Certificateholders and related duties and obligations set
forth herein).
SECTION 2.03 |
Repurchase
or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Sponsor or the
Depositor.
|
(a) Upon
discovery or receipt of notice by the Depositor, a Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee of any materially defective document in, or
that a
document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by the Originator
or
the Sponsor of any representation, warranty or covenant under an Assignment
Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage
Loan which materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or
the
interest therein of the Certificateholders, the party so discovering or
receiving notice shall promptly notify the other parties to this Agreement,
and
the Trustee thereupon shall promptly notify the related Originator and the
Sponsor of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the related
Originator deliver such missing document or cure such defect or that the
related
Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, cure such breach within 90 days
from
the date the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, was notified
of
such missing document, defect or breach, and if the related Originator or
Sponsor, as applicable, does not deliver such missing document or cure such
defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee
shall
enforce the obligations of the related Originator or Sponsor, as applicable,
under the related Assignment Agreement or Mortgage Loan Purcahse Agreement
(i)
to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within
90
days after the date on which the Sponsor was notified (subject to Section
2.03(e)) of such missing document, defect or breach, and (ii) to indemnify
the
Trust Fund in respect of such missing document, defect or breach, in the
case of
each of (i) and (ii), if and to the extent that the related Originator or
Sponsor, as applicable, is obligated to do so under the related Assignment
Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purcahse Agreement. The Purchase Price for
the
repurchased Mortgage Loan and any indemnification shall be remitted by the
related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, to the related Servicer
for
deposit into the related Collection Account, and the Trust Administrator,
upon
receipt of written notice from the related Servicer of such deposit, shall
give
written notice to the Trustee and the related Custodian that such deposit
has
taken place and the Trustee shall release (or cause the related Custodian
to
release on its behalf) to the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable,
the related Mortgage File, and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, as the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable,
shall
furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the related Originator
or the
Sponsor, as applicable, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall have no further responsibility
with
regard to such Mortgage File. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the related
Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, is not a member of MERS and
repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is registered on the MERS System, the related
Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, pursuant to the related Assignment
Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purcahse Agreement at its own expense and
without
any right of reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an
assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from
MERS
to the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, and shall cause
such
Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS System in accordance
with
MERS rules and regulations. In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan
as
provided above, if so provided in the related Assignment Agreement or the
Mortgage Loan Purcahse Agreement the related Originator or the Sponsor, as
applicable, may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in which
case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 2.03(d). It is understood and agreed that the obligation
of
the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, to cure or to repurchase
(or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing,
a
material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach
has occurred and is continuing, and if and to the extent provided in the
related
Assignment Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purcahse Agreement to perform any
applicable indemnification obligations with respect to any such omission,
defect
or breach, as provided in such Assignment Agreement or the Mortgage Loan
Purcahse Agreement, shall constitute the only remedies respecting such omission,
defect or breach available to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator on behalf
of the Certificateholders.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2.03, with respect to any breach
by the
related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, of any representation and
warranty which breach materially and adversely affects the value of any
Prepayment Charge or the interests of the Certificateholders therein, the
Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the related Originator or the Sponsor,
as applicable, to remedy such breach as provided in the related Assignment
Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purcahse Agreement as follows: upon any Principal
Prepayment with respect to the affected Mortgage Loan, the related Originator
or
the Sponsor, as applicable, shall pay or cause to be paid to the Purchaser
the
excess, if any, of (x) the amount of such Prepayment Charge calculated as
set
forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and (y) the amount collected from the
Mortgagor in respect of such Prepayment Charge.
(c) Within
90
days of the earlier of discovery by the related Servicer or receipt of notice
by
the Depositor of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of
the
related Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the
related Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.
(d) Any
substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage
Loans
made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior to the date which
is two
years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.
As
to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the related Originator or the Sponsor, as
applicable, substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such
substitution shall be effected by the related Originator or the Sponsor,
as
applicable, delivering to the Trustee (or to the related Custodian on behalf
of
the Trustee, as applicable), for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or
Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment in blank or to the
Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary
endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with an
Officers’ Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall
Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution.
The
related Custodian on its behalf and on behalf of the Trustee shall, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, review each Mortgage File within 90 days
after execution and delivery of this Agreement, to ascertain that all required
documents have been executed, received and recorded, if applicable, and that
such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans. If in the course of such review
the
Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf finds a document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be defective in any material respect,
the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf shall promptly so notify
the
Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the related Originator, the Sponsor and
the
related Servicer. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the Trust Fund
and
will be retained by the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable.
For
the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect
the
Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date
in
the month of substitution, and the related Originator or the Sponsor, as
applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently
received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Trust Administrator
shall
give or cause to be given written notice to the Trustee and the
Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, and the Trust
Administrator shall amend or cause the related Custodian to amend the Mortgage
Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the
terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans and, upon receipt thereof, shall deliver a copy of
such
amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the related Servicer. Upon such substitution,
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of
the
Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this
Agreement and the related Assignment Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purcahse
Agreement (including all applicable representations and warranties thereof
included in such Assignment Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purcahse Agreement),
in each case as of the date of substitution.
For
any
month in which the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, substitutes
one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage
Loans, the related Servicer will determine the amount (the “Substitution
Shortfall Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such
Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof as of the
date
of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such Scheduled Principal
Balance at the applicable Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate. On the date of such
substitution, the Trustee will monitor the obligation of the related Originator
or the Sponsor, as applicable, to deliver or cause to be delivered, and shall
request that such delivery be to the related Servicer for deposit in the
related
Collection Account, an amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount,
if
any, and the Trustee (or the related Custodian on behalf of the Trustee,
as
applicable), upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or
Loans and written notice given by the related Servicer of such deposit, shall
release to the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, the related
Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall
execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, shall
deliver
to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto.
In
addition, the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, shall obtain
at
its own expense and deliver to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a)
any
federal tax to be imposed on any Trust REMIC, including without limitation,
any
federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(1) of the
Code or on “contributions after the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(1) of
the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that
any Certificate is outstanding.
In
addition, pursuant to the terms of the related Assignment Agreement or the
Mortgage Loan Purcahse Agreement, the related Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee and
the
Trust Administrator an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution
will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including
without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under
Section 860F(a)(I) of the Code or on “contributions after the startup date”
under Section 860G(d)(I) of the Code or (b) any REMIC to fail to qualify
as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. If such Opinion of
Counsel can not be delivered, then such substitution may only be effected
at
such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be given.
(e) Upon
discovery by the Depositor, either Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such
fact
shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties
to this Agreement, and the Trustee shall give written notice thereof to the
Sponsor. In connection therewith, the related Originator or the Sponsor,
as
applicable, pursuant to the related Assignment Agreement or the Mortgage
Loan
Purcahse Agreement or the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement shall repurchase
or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one
or
more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within
90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect
to
such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made
by
(i) the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, if the affected
Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach
of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the related Originator
or
the Sponsor, as applicable, under the related Assignment Agreement or the
Mortgage Loan Purcahse Agreement or (iii) the Depositor, if the affected
Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of no
representation or warranty. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be
made in
the same manner as set forth in Sections 2.03(a). The Trustee shall reconvey
to
the Depositor, the related Originator or the Sponsor, as the case may be,
the
Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the
same
terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Originator
or the Sponsor for breach of a representation or warranty.

Interest). The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the Class P Interest and declares
that it holds and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit
of the Holders of the Class P Certificates and the Class R-X Certificates (in
respect of the Class R-IV Interest). The interests evidenced by the Class R-IV
Interest, together with the Class P Certificates, constitute the entire
beneficial ownership interest in REMIC IV.
(e) Concurrently
with (i) the assignment and delivery to the Trustee of REMIC I and the
acceptance by the Trustee thereof, pursuant to Section 2.01, Section 2.02 and
subsection (a) hereof, (ii) the assignment and delivery to the Trustee of REMIC

the
Trustee of REMIC III (including the Residual Interest therein represented by
the
Class R-III Interest) and the acceptance by the Trustee thereof, pursuant to
Section 2.01, Section 2.02 and subsection (c) hereof and (iv) the assignment
and
delivery to the Trustee of REMIC IV (including the Residual Interest therein
represented by the Class IV Interest) and the acceptance by the Trustee thereof,
pursuant to Section 2.01, Section 2.02 and subsection (d) hereof, the Trustee,
pursuant to the written request of the Depositor executed by an officer of
the
Depositor, has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of
the
Depositor, (A) the Class R Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing
the Class R-I Interest and the Class R-II Interest and (B) the Class R-X
Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the Class R-III Interest
and
the Class R-IV Interest.
ARTICLE
III
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING
OF
THE
MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01 |
Servicer
to Act as Servicer.
|
Unless
otherwise specified, all references to actions to be taken by “the Servicer”
under this Article III or any other provision of this Agreement with respect
to
a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans or with respect to an REO Property or REO
Properties shall be to actions to be taken or previously taken by the related
Servicer with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans serviced thereby
or
with respect to an REO Property or REO Properties administered
thereby.
Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, all references to actions to be taken
or previously taken by “the Servicer” under this Article III or any other
provision of this Agreement with respect to “the Collection Account” or “the
Servicing Account” shall be to actions to be taken or previously taken by each
Servicer with respect to the Collection Account or an escrow Account to be
established and maintained thereby. Consistent with the foregoing, but only
insofar as the context so permits, this Article III is to be read with respect
to each Servicer as if such Servicer alone was servicing and administering
its
respective Mortgage Loans hereunder.
Xxxxx
Fargo shall service and administer the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loans on behalf
of
the Trust Fund and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment)
in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans
and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which
it
services and administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving
due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of prudent
mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but
without regard to:
(i) any
relationship that the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;
(ii) the
ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer or any Affiliate of the
Servicer;
(iii) the
Servicer’s obligation to make P&I Advances or Servicing Advances;
or
(iv) the
Servicer’s or any Sub-Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services
hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction.
JPMorgan
shall service and administer the JPMorgan Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trust
Fund and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders
(as determined by JPMorgan in its reasonable judgment) in accordance with the
JPMorgan Servicing Standard and the respective Mortgage Loans.
Option
One shall service and administer the Option One Mortgage Loans on behalf of
the
Trust Fund and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (as determined by Option One in its reasonable judgment)
in
accordance with the Option One Servicing Standard and the respective Mortgage
Loans.
To
the
extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer (a) shall seek the timely
and
complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes and (b) shall
waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only under the
following circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing
similar Mortgage Loans and such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably
foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer,
maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such
Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the collection of such
Prepayment Charge would be in violation of applicable laws, (iii) the amount
of
the Prepayment Charge set forth on the Prepayment Charge Schedule is not
consistent with the related Mortgage Note or is otherwise unenforceable, (iv)
the Servicer has not received information and documentation sufficient to
confirm the existence or amount of such Prepayment Charge or (v) the collection
of such Prepayment Charge would be considered “predatory” pursuant to written
guidance published or issued by any applicable federal, state or local
regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having jurisdiction
over such matters. If a Prepayment Charge is waived as permitted by meeting
the
standard described in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, then, the Trustee
shall
make commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to enforce the obligations
of
the related Originator under the Master Agreement to pay the amount of such
waived Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P
Certificates; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be under any
obligation to take any action pursuant to this paragraph unless directed by
the
Depositor and provided, further, the Depositor hereby agrees to assist the
Trustee in enforcing any obligations of any Originator to repurchase or
substitute for a Mortgage Loan which has breached a representation or warranty
under the related Assignment Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
If such Originator fails to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge
in
accordance with its obligations under the related Master Agreement, the Trustee,
Trust Administrator, the Servicer and the Depositor shall consult on further
actions to be taken against such Originator. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
to
the extent that the Trustee and the related Originator are the same entity,
the
Trust Administrator shall enforce the obligations of the related Originator
under the related Master Agreement pursuant to the terms of this paragraph.
If a
Prepayment Charge is waived other than in accordance with (i) through (v) above,
the Servicer shall pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge to the Trust
Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account for the benefit of the
Holders of the Class P Certificates (the “Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment
Amount”).
To
the
extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer shall also seek to maximize
the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage
Notes. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards (with respect
to
Xxxxx Fargo) or to the JPMorgan Servicing Standard (with respect to JPMorgan)
or
to the
Option One Servicing Standard (with respect to Option One)
and the
terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Servicer
shall
have full power and authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided
in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection
with
such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name
or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in
accordance with the servicing standards set forth (with respect to Xxxxx Fargo)
or to the JPMorgan Servicing Standard (with respect to JPMorgan) or to the
Option One Servicing Standard (with respect to Option One) above, to execute
and
deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, and upon notice
to
the Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments,
with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute
foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert
the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to
such
properties, on behalf of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Servicer shall
service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state
and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to
be
provided to them thereby. The Servicer shall also comply in the performance
of
this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of any standard hazard
insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, the Trustee shall execute, at the
written request of the Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer and any
Sub-Servicer such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative
duties hereunder, and the Trustee hereby grants to the Servicer a power of
attorney to carry out such duties. The Trustee shall not be liable for the
actions of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of
attorney.
In
accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall
advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting
the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which
advances shall be Servicing Advances reimbursable in the first instance from
related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further
as
provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Servicer or by Sub-Servicers
in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property
shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders,
be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit provided,
however, that (subject to Section 3.07) the Servicer may capitalize the amount
of any Servicing Advances incurred pursuant to this Section 3.01 in connection
with the modification of a Mortgage Loan.
The
Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the
Sub-Servicer when the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be, believes
it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the
MERS
System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on
the
MERS System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and
other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording
of
a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its
successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses (i) incurred as a result of
MERS
discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with
the
MERS System or (ii) if the affected Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the
judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, incurred
in
connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence, shall be
subject to withdrawal by the Servicer from the Collection Account.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may not make any future
advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.03)
and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any modification with respect to any
Mortgage Loan (except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is in default or,
in
the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable) that
would
change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except
for
reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final
maturity date on such Mortgage Loan or (ii) permit any modification, waiver
or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an
exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code
(or
final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and
(B) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the
imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions after the
startup date” under the REMIC Provisions.
The
Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this Agreement; provided,
however, that no such delegation shall release the Servicer from the
responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.02 |
Sub-Servicing
Agreements Between the Servicer and
Sub-Servicers.
|
(a) The
Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing
Agreements
(provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading
by the Rating Agencies of the rating on any Class of Certificates) with
Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans;
provided, however, such sub-servicing arrangement and the terms of the related
Sub-Subservicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of Mortgage Loans
in a
manner consistent with the servicing arrangement contemplated hereunder.
As
of the
Closing Date, JPMorgan has engaged CHF to act as a Sub-Servicer with respect
to
JPMorgan’s servicing obligations under this Agreement. So long as JPMorgan is
not a ranked servicer by the Rating Agencies, JPMorgan agrees that prior to
replacing CHF as a Sub-Servicer, other than with an Affiliate of JPMorgan that
is a ranked servicer, it will obtain written confirmation from each Rating
Agency that such replacement of CHF as Sub-Servicer with respect to JPMorgan’s
servicing obligations related to the JPMorgan Mortgage Loans will not cause
the
current rating on the Certificates to be withdrawn or lowered by the Rating
Agencies and any replacement Sub-Servicer shall sub-service in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to the consideration
of
whether to waive a Prepayment Charge hereunder.
(b) Each
Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states
in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if
and
to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform
its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) a
Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing
Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the
provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the Mortgage
Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer will examine
each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The
terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the
provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter
into
and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different
forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments
or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions
of
this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made
or
entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to
the
interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any variation
without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66%
of
the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating to
insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and
charges to the Sub- Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances
by the Sub-Servicers to the Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent
with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Servicer shall deliver to
the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements,
and
any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer’s execution
and delivery of such instruments.
(c) As
part
of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer (except as otherwise
provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the benefit of the Trustee
and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer
under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any
obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by
a
Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the
legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-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 Servicer, in its good faith business
judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The
Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall
be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such
enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts
due
in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery
of
costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such
enforcement is directed.
SECTION 3.03 |
Successor
Sub-Servicers.
|
The
Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the
rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing
Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing
obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Servicer
without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Servicer, and
the Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall
enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which
qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may
be
immediately terminated by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator without fee,
in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Servicer
shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including termination due
to a
Servicer Event of Default).
SECTION 3.04 |
Liability
of the Servicer.
|
Each
Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the
obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement and undertaken hereunder
by
the related Servicer herein.
Notwithstanding
any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating
to
agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference
to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain
obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for
the
servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability
by
virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the
same
terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering
the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with a Sub- Servicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer
and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify
such
indemnification.
SECTION 3.05 |
No
Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and Trustee, Trust
Administrator or
Certificateholders.
|
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity
as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone,
and the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Certificateholders shall not
be
deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties
or
liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section
3.06. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any
Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s compensation pursuant to
this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.
SECTION 3.06 |
Assumption
or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Trust
Administrator.
|
In
the
event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the servicer (including
by
reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default), the Trust
Administrator or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Servicer
may have entered into, unless the Trust Administrator elects to terminate any
Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section
3.03. Upon such assumption, the Trust Administrator, its designee or the
successor servicer for the Trust Administrator appointed pursuant to Section
7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the
Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the Servicer as a party to each
Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement
had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Servicer shall
not
thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any Sub-Servicing
Agreement and (ii) none of the Trust Administrator, its designee or any
successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation
of the Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer.
The
Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trust Administrator, deliver
to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub- Servicing
Agreements to the assuming party.
SECTION 3.07 |
Collection
of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
|
The
Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under
the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such
procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions
of any applicable insurance policies, follow such collection procedures as
it
would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans
and
held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing and the servicing
standards set forth in Section 3.01 (with respect to Xxxxx Fargo) and with
the
JPMorgan Servicing Standard (with respect to JPMorgan), the Servicer may in
its
discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, penalty interest
or (ii) extend the due dates for Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for
a
period of not greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to
clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage
Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In
the
event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Servicer shall
make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to
Section 4.03 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage
Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default
or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable,
the
Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01 (with respect
to Xxxxx Fargo) and with the JPMorgan Servicing Standard (with respect to
JPMorgan), may waive,
modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that
change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend
the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related
Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final
satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan (such payment, a “Short Pay-off”) or consent
to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor, if
in the
Servicer’s determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence
is not materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking
into account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such action);
provided, however, Xxxxx Fargo shall not modify any Mortgage Loan in a manner
that would capitalize the amount of any unpaid Monthly Payments or tax or
insurance payments advanced by Xxxxx Fargo on the Mortgagor’s behalf unless the
related Mortgagor shall have remitted an amount equal to a full Monthly Payment
(or, in the case of any Mortgage Loan subject to a forbearance plan or
bankruptcy plan, a full modified monthly payment under such plan) in each of
the
three calendar months immediately preceding the month of such modification.
SECTION 3.08 |
Sub-Servicing
Accounts.
|
In
those
cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a
Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and
maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Sub-Servicing Account”). The
Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall comply with all
requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection Account. The
Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than
two Business Days after the Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of
Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation
to
the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Sub-Servicer shall
thereafter remit such proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection
Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts
in
the Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall
be
deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer
receives such payments.
SECTION 3.09 |
Collection
of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing
Accounts.
|
To
the
extent the terms of a Mortgage provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall
establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into
which all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from
Sub-Servicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, fire, flood, and hazard
insurance premiums, hazard insurance proceeds (to the extent such amounts are
to
be applied to the restoration or repair of the property) and comparable items
for the account of the Mortgagors (“Escrow Payments”) shall be deposited and
retained. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall
deposit in the Servicing Accounts on a daily basis and in no event later than
the second Business Day after receipt, and retain therein, all Escrow Payments
collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting the
timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement.
Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect
timely payment of taxes, assessments, fire, flood, and hazard insurance
premiums, and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Servicer out of related
collections for any advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to
taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with respect to fire, flood and hazard
insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be
overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors
on balances in the Servicing Account; or (v) clear and terminate the Servicing
Account at the termination of the Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in
respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article
IX. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors
interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and,
to
the extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is
insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any
reimbursement therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not
be
obligated to collect Escrow Payments if the related Mortgage Loan does not
require such payments but the Servicer shall nevertheless be obligated to make
Servicing Advances as provided in Section 3.01. In the event the Servicer shall
deposit in the Servicing Accounts any amount not required to be deposited
therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Servicing Accounts,
any provision to the contrary notwithstanding.
To
the
extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer (i)
shall determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner
and at a time that is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property
due
to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien and (ii) shall ensure
that all insurance required to be maintained on the Mortgaged Property pursuant
to this Agreement is maintained. If any such payment has not been made and
the
Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage Loan being
imposed, the Servicer will, to the extent required to avoid loss of the
Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge
such lien on the Mortgaged Property. The Servicer assumes full responsibility
for the payment of all such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills
irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or
the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances from its
own
funds to effect such payments.
SECTION 3.10 |
Collection
Account and Distribution Account.
|
(a) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
separate, segregated trust accounts (such account or accounts, the “Collection
Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee
and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall
deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must
be
an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections
on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities
on a
daily basis, and in no event more than two Business Days after the Servicer’s
receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in
no
event more than one Business Day after the deposit of such funds into the
clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder,
the
following payments and collections received or made by it from and after the
Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest on the related
Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date), or payments (other than
Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date but
allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:
(i) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments (but not
Prepayment Charges), on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest (the related Servicing Fee and any Prepayment
Interest Excess) on each Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all
Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other than proceeds collected
in
respect of any particular REO Property and amounts paid by the Servicer in
connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to
Section 9.01);
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with
any
losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the
Collection Account;
(v) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any blanket policy
deductibles;
(vi) all
proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with
Section 2.03 or Section 9.01;
(vii) all
amounts required to be deposited in connection with shortfalls in principal
amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.03;
and
(viii) all
Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer and any Servicer Prepayment Charge
Payment Amounts in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the
Mortgage Loans.
For
purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Cut-off Date with respect
to
any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be the date of
substitution.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, Prepayment
Interest Excess or assumption fees (other than Prepayment Charges) need not
be
deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account. In the event the Servicer
shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited
therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account,
any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Trust Administrator, as agent for the Trustee, shall
establish and maintain one or more separate, segregated trust accounts (such
account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit
of the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicers shall
deliver to the Trust Administrator in immediately available funds for deposit
in
the Distribution Account on or before 4:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer
Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Distribution Amount (calculated
without regard to the subtraction therefrom of the Credit Risk Manager Fee)
for
the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account, the
amount of all Prepayment Charges collected during the applicable Prepayment
Period by the Servicer and Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts in
connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans then
on
deposit in the Collection Account.
(c) Funds
in
the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The
Servicer shall give notice to the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and the
Depositor of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when
established and prior to any change thereof. The Trust Administrator shall
give
notice to the Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor of the location of the
Distribution Account when established and prior to any change
thereof.
(d) Funds
held in the Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the Servicer
to
the Trust Administrator for deposit in an account (which may be the Distribution
Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution Account as set
forth
in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a part of the Collection Account; provided, however, that the
Trust
Administrator shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant
to this subsection (d). In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Trust
Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required
to
be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Trust Administrator
withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it any such
amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition,
the
Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator from time to time for deposit,
and upon written notification from the Servicer, the Trust Administrator shall
so deposit, in the Distribution Account:
(i) any
P&I Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.03;
(ii) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.23(d) or (f) in
connection with any REO Property;
(iii) any
amounts to be paid by the Servicer in connection with a purchase of Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01;
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24 in connection with
any
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls; and
(v) any
Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the federal bankruptcy court having
jurisdiction in such matters.
(e) Promptly
upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from the Servicer, a trustee in
bankruptcy, or federal bankruptcy court or other source, the Trust Administrator
shall deposit such funds in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal
thereof as permitted hereunder.
(f) The
Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amounts required to be
deposited pursuant to Section 3.12(b) in connection with losses realized on
Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection
Account.
SECTION 3.11 |
Withdrawals

|
(a) The
Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account
for any of the following purposes or as described in Section 4.03:

required to be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.10(b) or permitted to be so
remitted pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.10(d);
(ii) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Servicer for P&I Advances, but only to

Proceeds or other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from a Mortgagor,
or otherwise received with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (C) without
limiting any right of withdrawal set forth in clause (vi) below, any Servicing
Advances made with respect to a Mortgage Loan that, following the final
liquidation of a Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the
extent that Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds
received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for such Servicing Advances;
(iv) to
pay to
the Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee) on
the
Servicer Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned on funds

may
be, for expenses reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or defect giving
rise to the purchase obligation under Section 2.03 or Section 2.04 of this
Agreement that were included in the Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loan,
including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the purchase
obligation;
(ix) to

itself any Prepayment Interest Excess (to the extent not otherwise

pay,
or to reimburse the Servicer for advances in respect of expenses incurred in

(xi) to
clear
and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 9.01.
The
Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by
Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to
subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) above. The Servicer
shall provide written notification to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator,
on or prior to the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any
withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (vii)
above.
(b) The

(viii) to
pay
the Credit Risk Manager the Credit Risk Manager Fee; and
(ix) to
clear
and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 9.01.
SECTION 3.12 |
Investment
of Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution
Account.
|
(a) The
Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection
Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, an “Investment Account”), and the
Trust Administrator may at the direction of the Depositor direct any depository
institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of this Section
3.12, also an “Investment Account”), to hold the funds in such Investment
Account uninvested or to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one
or
more Permitted Investments specified in such instruction bearing interest or
sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than
the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required
to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other
than the Trust Administrator is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than
the
date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant
to this Agreement, if the Trust Administrator is the obligor thereon. All such
Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand.
Any
investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the
Trust Administrator (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of
the
Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator shall be entitled to sole
possession (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account and any income and gain realized
thereon) over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument
evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trust
Administrator or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary
to
transfer title to such investment to the Trust Administrator or its nominee.
In
the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested
in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trust Administrator
shall:
(x) consistent
with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon
be
made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder
in
an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and
(2)
the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand
payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by a
Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator that such Permitted Investment
would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter
on
deposit in the Investment Account.
(b) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer, shall be for the
benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance
with Section 3.11. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account the
amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted
Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of
such
loss.
(c) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Distribution Account held by or on behalf of the Trust Administrator, shall
be
for the benefit of the Trust Administrator and shall be subject to its
withdrawal at any time. The Trust Administrator shall deposit in the
Distribution Account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect
of
any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately
upon
realization of such loss.
(d) Except
as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the
making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs
in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trust
Administrator may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(v), upon
the
request of the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting
Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take such action as may
be
appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution
and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
SECTION 3.13 |
[Reserved].
|
SECTION 3.14 |
Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity
Coverage.
|
(a) The
terms
of each Mortgage Note require the related Mortgagor to maintain fire, flood
and
hazard insurance policies. To the extent such policies are not maintained,
the
Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgaged Property fire and
hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the
Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser
of the current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and the amount necessary
to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements which are a
part
of such property on a replacement cost basis, in each case in an amount not
less
than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance
clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Servicer shall
also
cause to be maintained fire and hazard insurance on each REO Property with
extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property
is
located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum
insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii)
the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time
it
became an REO Property. The Servicer will comply in the performance of this
Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under
any
such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Servicer under any
such
policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of
the
property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the Servicer would follow
in
servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions
of
the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11, if received in respect
of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred
by
the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of
calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms
of such Mortgage Loan so permit; provided, however, that the Servicer may
capitalize the amount of any Servicing Advances incurred pursuant to this
Section 3.14 in connection with the modification of a Mortgage Loan. It is
understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to
be
required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and
regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time
in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the Servicer will cause
to be
maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance
shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance
of
the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance
available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance
program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located
is
participating in such program).
In
the
event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an
insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating
Guide insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the
first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that
such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall,
in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of
this
Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have
been
covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds
the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of
the
Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself,
the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, claims under any such
blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such
policy.
(b) The
Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or
policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the
performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement, which policy
or
policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements
of
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans, unless
the Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall each also maintain a fidelity bond in the form
and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless
the Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision
if an Affiliate of the Servicer, has such errors and omissions and fidelity
bond
coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the
coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such errors and
omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without
thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator.
SECTION 3.15 |
Enforcement
of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
|
The
Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective
conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute
conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains
or
is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise
its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale”
clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer shall
not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If the Servicer
reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such
“due-on-sale” clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso
to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter into an assumption
and
modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state
law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is also authorized
to
enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant
to
which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is
substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note,
provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person
satisfies the then current underwriting criteria of the Servicer for mortgage
loans similar to the Mortgage Loans. In connection with any assumption or
substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow
such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general
mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned
solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and
modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the
circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued
effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy. Any fee collected
by
the Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement
will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In
connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note
(including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the
Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required
pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator that any such substitution or assumption agreement has
been
completed by forwarding to the Trust Administrator on behalf of the Trustee
the
executed original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which document
shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be
considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other
documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer
shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its
obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by
operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which
the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatever.
For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term “assumption” is deemed to also
include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage that is
not
accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
SECTION 3.16 |
Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall, consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section
3.01
(with respect to Xxxxx Fargo) and with the JPMorgan Servicing Standard (with
respect to JPMorgan), foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the
ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and
continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made
for
collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07. The Servicer shall
be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such
proceedings; provided, however, that such costs and expenses will be recoverable
as Servicing Advances by the Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11 and
Section 3.23. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in
which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause,
the
Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration
of
such property unless it shall determine in its discretion that such restoration
will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after
reimbursement to itself for such expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.16 or any other provision of this
Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has
received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any
toxic
or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall
not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged
Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii)
otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to,
such
Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, the Trust
Fund, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer or the Certificateholders would
be
considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an
“owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980,
as
amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also
previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared
by
a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry
standards, that:
(1) such
Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or,
if
not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take
such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance
therewith; and
(2) there
are
no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use,
management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials,
hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any
federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are
present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect to the
affected Mortgaged Property.
The
cost
of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.16 shall be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
If
the
Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any
such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws,
or
to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation
of
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based
materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall take
such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund.
The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall
be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
(c)
The
Servicer shall have the right to purchase from REMIC I any defaulted Mortgage
Loan that is 90 days or more delinquent, which the Servicer determines in good
faith will otherwise become subject to foreclosure proceedings (evidence of
such
determination to be delivered in writing to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator prior to purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The
Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited
in
the Collection Account, and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of written
certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause to
be
released to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and the Trust Administrator,
upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, as the Servicer shall furnish and as shall be necessary to
vest in the Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto.
(d) Proceeds
received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the
following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and P&I
Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii) or (a)(iii)(B); second, to accrued
and
unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery
Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such
amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery
Determination; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan.
If
the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount
of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such
recovery will be allocated by the Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid
Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing.
The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be
reimbursed to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section
3.11(a)(iii)(A).
SECTION 3.17 |
Trustee
to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage
Files.
|
(a) Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the related Custodian,
on
behalf of the Trustee, by a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E (which
certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received
or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be
deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will
be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request that the related
Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to it the Mortgage File. Upon
receipt of such certification and request, the related Custodian, on behalf
of
the Trustee, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer,
and the Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on
the
MERS® System of any such Mortgage, if applicable, and to execute and deliver, on
behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release.
No
expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed
of
reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account or the Distribution
Account.
The
Trustee (or a Custodian on its behalf) shall, at the written request and expense
of any Certificateholder, provide a written report to such Certificateholder
of
all Mortgage Files released to the Servicer for servicing purposes.
(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy
relating to the Mortgage Loans, the related Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee,
shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the related Custodian and
the Trustee of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E, release the
related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the related Custodian, on behalf
of
the Trustee, shall, at the direction of the Servicer, execute such documents
as
shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such Request
for
Release shall obligate the Servicer to return each and every document previously
requested from the Mortgage File to the related Custodian when the need therefor
by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated
and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited
in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been
delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as
required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other
proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially
or
non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered to the related Custodian, on
behalf of the Trustee, a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to
the
name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document
was
delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a
certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was
liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with
such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the Collection Account
have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property,
a
copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the related Custodian,
on
behalf of the Trustee, to the Servicer.
(c) Upon
written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or
other documents reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in
respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain
a
deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by
the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each
such
certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be
executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or
pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the
Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except
for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or
trustee’s sale.
SECTION 3.18 |
Servicing
Compensation.
|
As
compensation for the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall
be
entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely
from payments of interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section
3.24. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing
Fees out of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted
by Section 3.11(a)(iii)(A) and out of amounts derived from the operation and
sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. The right
to
receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except
in
connection with the transfer of all of the Servicer’s responsibilities and
obligations under this Agreement.
Additional
servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges
and
other similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained
by the Servicer (subject to Section 3.24) only to the extent such fees or
charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled
pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account, and
pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional
servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein,
subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The Servicer shall be required to
pay
all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities
hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.14, to
the
extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a
Sub-Servicer, servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer, and to the extent
provided herein in Section 8.05, the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except
as specifically provided herein.
SECTION 3.19 |
Reports
to the Trust Administrator; Collection Account
Statements.
|
Upon
reasonable request by the Trust Administrator (such request to be made by the
related Distribution Date), the Servicer shall forward to the Trust
Administrator no later than 10 calendar days after such request, a statement
prepared by the Servicer setting forth the status of the Collection Account
as
of the close of business on the last day of the calendar month relating to
such
Distribution Date and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the
aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from the Collection Account
of
each category of deposit specified in Section 3.10(a) and each category of
withdrawal specified in Section 3.11. Such statement may be in the form of
the
then current Xxxxxx Xxx Monthly Accounting Report for its Guaranteed Mortgage
Pass-Through Program with appropriate additions and changes, and shall also
include information as to the aggregate of the outstanding principal balances
of
all of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the calendar month immediately
preceeding such Distribution Date or such other format as mutually agreed to
between the Servicer and the Trust Administrator. Copies of such statement
shall
be provided by the Trust Administrator to any Certificateholder and to any
Person identified to the Trust Administrator as a prospective transferee of
a
Certificate, upon the request and at the expense of the requesting party,
provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trust
Administrator.
SECTION 3.20 |
Statement
as to Compliance.
|
The
Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator, on or before March
1st
of each
calendar year beginning in 2007, an Officers’ Certificate (an “Annual Statement
of Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance
under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision and (ii) to
the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has
fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects
throughout such year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such
obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such
officer and the nature and status of cure provisions thereof. The Servicer
shall
deliver, or cause any Sub-Servicer to deliver, a similar Annual Statement of
Compliance by any Sub-Servicer to which the Servicer has delegated any servicing
responsibilites with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to the Trust Administrator
as described above as and when required with respect to the Servicer.
If
the
Servicer does not deliver the Annual Statement of Compliance by March 1st of
any
year, either the Trust Administrator or the Depositor shall provide the Servicer
with written notice of its failure to deliver such Annual Statement of
Compliance and the Servicer shall have 10 calendar days from the date of its
receipt of such written notice to cure such failure to deliver.
Failure
of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.20, which continues
unremedied for ten (10) calendar days after the date on which written notice
of
its failure to deliver the Annual Statement of Compliance shall be deemed a
Servicer Event of Default, and upon the receipt of written notice from the
Trust
Administrator of such Event of Default, the Trustee may at the direction of
the
Depositor, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this
Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and
specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same;
provided
that to
the extent that any provision of this Agreement expressly provides for the
survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Servicer,
such provision shall be given effect. This paragraph shall supercede any other
provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
The
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator and their officers, directors and Affiliates from and against
any
actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such
Person may sustain based upon a breach of the Servicer’s obligations under this
Section 3.20. Such indemnification shall not cover any damages that are
indirect, consequential, punitive or special in nature.
SECTION 3.21 |
Assessments
of Compliance and Attestation
Reports.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
all
applicable requirements of the Servicing Criteria (as set forth in Exhibit
C
hereto). The Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator on or before
March 1st
of each
calendar year beginning in 2007, the following:
(i) a
report
(an “Assessment of Compliance”) regarding the Servicer’s assessment of
compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar
year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item
1122 of Regulation AB. Such report shall be signed by an authorized officer
of
the Servicer, and shall address each of the applicable Servicing Criteria set
forth in Exhibit C hereto;
(ii) a
report
(an “Attestation Report”) of a registered public accounting firm reasonably
acceptable to the Depositor that attests to, and reports on, the assessment
of
compliance made by the Servicer and delivered pursuant to the preceding
paragraph. Such attestation shall be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and
2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
and
(iii) cause
each Sub-Servicer, and each subcontractor determined by the Servicer to be
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, to deliver an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report
as
and when provided in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section
3.21(a).
(iv) a
statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable
to
the Servicer, which statement shall be based on the activities it performs
with
respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving
the
Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage
Loans.
(b) The
Servicer shall, or shall cause any Sub-Servicer and each subcontractor
determined by the Servicer to be “participating in the servicing function”
within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB to, deliver to the Trust
Administrator and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation
Report as and when provided above.
Such
Assessment of Compliance, as to any Sub-Servicer, shall at a minimum address
each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto which are indicated
as applicable to any “primary servicer.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to
any subcontractor, an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered
unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust
Fund.
If
the
Servicer does
not
deliver the Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report by March 1st of
any
year, either the Trust Administrator or the Depositor shall provide the Servicer
with written notice of its failure to deliver such Assessment of Compliance
or
Attestation Report and the Servicer shall have 10 calendar days from the date
of
its receipt of such written notice to cure such failure to deliver.
Failure
of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.21 (including the
expiration of the applicable cure period) shall be deemed a Servicer Event
of
Default, and upon the receipt of written notice from the Trust Administrator
of
such Event of Default, the Trustee at the direction of the Depositor may, in
addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at
law
or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance,
upon notice immediately terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer
under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof
without compensating the Servicer for the same; provided, however, the Depositor
shall not be entitled to instruct the Trustee to terminate the rights and
obligations of the Servicer pursuant to clause (iii) above if a failure of
the
Servicer to identify a subcontractor “participating in the servicing function”
within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable solely to
the
role or functions of such subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other
than the Mortgage Loans. This paragraph shall supercede any other provision
in
this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
The
Trust
Administrator shall also provide an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation
Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address each of
the
Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto which are indicated as
applicable to the “trust administrator.”
The
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and the Trust
Administrator and their officers, directors and Affiliates from and against
any
actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such
Person may sustain based upon a breach of the Servicer’s obligations, as
applicable, under this Section 3.21. The Trust Administrator shall indemnify
and
hold harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from
and
against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and
expenses that such Person may sustain based upon any failure of the Trust
Administrator to deliver when required its Assessment of Compliance. Such
indemnification shall not cover any damages that are indirect, consequential,
punitive or special in nature.
SECTION 3.22 |
Access
to Certain Documentation.
|
The
Servicer shall provide to the Office of the Controller of the Currency, the
Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC, and any other federal or state banking
or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any
Certificateholder, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded
without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business
hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it. In addition, access
to
the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws
and
regulations will be provided to such Certificateholder, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and to any Person identified to the Servicer as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate subject to the execution of a confidentiality
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the servicer, upon reasonable
request during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated
by it at the expense of the Person requesting such access. Nothing in this
Section 3.22 shall derogate from the obligation of any such party to observe
any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors
and the failure of any such party to provide access as provided in this Section
as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section
3.22.
SECTION 3.23 |
Title,
Management and Disposition of REO
Property.
|
(a) The
deed
or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall be taken in the name of the
Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
The
Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall either sell any REO Property before
the close of the third taxable year following the year the Trust Fund acquires
ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code
or
request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the
day
on which the above three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension
of the above three-year grace period, unless the Servicer shall have delivered
to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor, to the
effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to
the
close of the third taxable year after its acquisition will not result in the
imposition on the Trust Fund of taxes on “prohibited transactions” thereof, as
defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify
as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property
for
the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and
sale
in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
“foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC of any “income from non-permitted
assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any “net
income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC
Provisions.
(b) The
Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection
with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds
and
general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to REO Properties
an account held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (the “REO Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account. The
Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection Account to serve as the
REO
Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Servicer shall
be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited
in
the REO Account.
(c) The
Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific
requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in
connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which
the
Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Servicer or any
of
its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Servicer deems
to
be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection therewith, the
Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which
account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments
and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing
activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than two Business Days after
the Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account,
in no event more than one Business Day after the deposit of such funds into
the
clearing account, all revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property
and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation,
management and maintenance of such REO Property including, without
limitation:
(i) all
insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;
(ii) all
real
estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result
in
the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all
costs
and expenses necessary to maintain such REO Property.
To
the
extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO
Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through
(iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance from
its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only if,
the
Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the REO Property and
if
in the Servicer’s judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from
the rental or sale of the REO Property.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, none of the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee
shall:
(i) authorize
the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to
any
REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that
does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) authorize
any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts
that
will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(iii) authorize
any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building
or
other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the
construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default
on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section
856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(iv) authorize
any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90 days
after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund;
unless,
in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel, provided
to
the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, to the effect that such action will
not
cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by the
Trust Fund, in which case the Servicer may take such actions as are specified
in
such Opinion of Counsel.
The
Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and
management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the
terms
and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent
herewith;
(ii) any
such
contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the
Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above
and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Servicer
as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the
receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;
(iii) none
of
the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating to any such contract or to
actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve
the Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf
of
the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management of any
such
REO Property; and
(iv) the
Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it
alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the
operation and management of such REO Property.
The
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent
Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations
hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such Independent Contractor,
and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it
to
any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s
compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees. With
respect to JPMorgan, the
fees
of such Independent Contractor may be reimbursable as a Servicing Advance and,
to the extent that any payments made by such Independent Contractor would
constitute Servicing Advances if made by JPMorgan, such amounts shall also
be
reimbursable as Servicing Advances made by JPMorgan.
(d) In
addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.23(c), the Servicer may
from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property:
(i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of the
related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and P&I Advances made in respect of such REO
Property or the related Mortgage Loan. Any income from the related REO Property
received during any calendar months prior to a Final Recovery Determination,
net
of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or this Section 3.23(d),
shall be withdrawn by the Servicer from each REO Account maintained by it and
remitted to the Trust Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account
in
accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Servicer Remittance Date relating
to
a Final Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan, for
distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section
4.01.
(e) Subject
to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.23(a), and further subject to
obtaining the approval of the insurer under any related Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy (if and to the extent that such approvals are necessary to
make
claims under such policies in respect of the affected REO Property), each REO
Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such
terms and conditions as the Servicer shall deem necessary or advisable, as
shall
be normal and usual in its general servicing activities for similar
properties.
(f) The
proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to be
remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any payment
or reimbursement to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall
be
remitted to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account
in
accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Servicer Remittance Date in the
month
following the receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution
Date
in accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only
(unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day
allow
a sale for other consideration).
(g) The
Servicer shall file information returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage
interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and
abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of indebtedness income
with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J
and
6050P of the Code, respectively. Such reports shall be in form and substance
sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H,
6050J and 6050P of the Code.
SECTION 3.24 |
Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls.
|
The
Servicers shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit into the
Distribution Account on or before 4:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer
Remittance Date from its own funds (or from a Sub-Servicer’s own funds received
by the Servicer in respect of Compensating Interest) an amount equal to the
lesser of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the
related Distribution Date resulting from full or partial Principal Prepayments
during the related Prepayment Period and (ii) the applicable Compensating
Interest Payment.
SECTION 3.25 |
Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Monthly
Payments.
|
In
the
event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to any
Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Rates,
Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were made by the Servicer
in
a manner not consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this
Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof,
immediately shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor and any successor servicer in respect of any such
liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this
Agreement. If amounts paid by the Servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan
pursuant to this Section 3.25 are subsequently recovered from the related
Mortgagor, the Servicer shall be permitted to reimburse itself for such amounts
paid by it pursuant to this Section 3.25 from such recoveries.
SECTION 3.26 |
Advance
Facility.
|
(a) Either
(i) the Servicer or (ii) the Trust Administrator, on behalf of the Trust Fund,
with the consent of and at the direction of the Servicer, is hereby authorized
to enter into a facility with any Person which provides that such Person (an
“Advancing Person”) may fund P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the
Trust Fund under this Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or
otherwise affect the Servicer’s obligation to fund such P&I Advances and/or
Servicing Advances. If the Servicer enters into such an Advance Facility
pursuant to this Section 3.26, upon reasonable request of the Advancing Person,
the Trust Administrator shall execute a letter of acknowledgment, confirming
its
receipt of notice of the existence of such Advance Facility. If the Trust
Administrator enters into such an Advance Facility pursuant to this Section
3.26, the Servicer shall also be a party to such Advance Facility. To the extent
that an Advancing Person funds any P&I Advance or any Servicing Advance and
provides the Trust Administrator with notice acknowledged by the Servicer that
such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement, such Advancing Person shall
be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount
to the extent provided in Section 3.26(b). Such notice from the Advancing Person
must specify the amount of the reimbursement, the Section of this Agreement
that
permits the applicable P&I Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed and
the section(s) of the Advance Facility that entitle the Advancing Person to
request reimbursement from the Trust Administrator, rather than the Servicer,
and include the Servicer’s acknowledgment thereto or proof of an Event of
Default under the Advance Facility. The Trust Administrator shall have no duty
or liability with respect to any calculation of any reimbursement to be paid
to
an Advancing Person and shall be entitled to rely without independent
investigation on the Advancing Person’s notice provided pursuant to this Section
3.26. An Advancing Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding
of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the
qualifications of a Servicer or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof
and will not be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement.
(b) If
an
advancing facility is entered into, then the Servicer shall not be permitted
to
reimburse itself therefor under Section 3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii) and
Section 3.11(a)(vi) prior to the remittance to the Trust Fund, but instead
the
Servicer shall include such amounts in the applicable remittance to the Trust
Administrator made pursuant to Section 3.11(a). The Trust Administrator is
hereby authorized to pay to the Advancing Person, reimbursements for P&I
Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account to the same extent
the Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself for such P&I
Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.11(a)(ii),
Section 3.11(a)(iii) and Section 3.11(a)(vi), as the case may be, had the
Servicer itself funded such P&I Advance or Servicing Advance. The Trust
Administrator is hereby authorized to pay directly to the Advancing Person
such
portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties to any advancing facility agree
in
writing.
(c) All
P&I Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a “first in-first out”
(FIFO) basis.
(d) Any
amendment to this Section 3.26 or to any other provision of this Agreement
that
may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility
as
described generally in this Section 3.26, including amendments to add provisions
relating to a successor servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement.

class mail to the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register.
The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but
only
upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office
of the Trust Administrator or such other location specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Each
distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the

crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository
Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository
Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the
Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor or the related Servicer shall have any
responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or

(e) Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Trust Administrator expects
that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates will
be
made on the next Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall, no later
than
five days after the latest related Determination Date, mail on such date to
each
Holder of such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that:
(i) the
Trust
Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to such Class
of
Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation
and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Trust Administrator
therein specified, and
(ii) no
interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end of the related
Interest Accrual Period.
(iii) Any
funds
not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such
Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender
their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by the
Trust Administrator and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering
Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given
pursuant to this Section 4.01(e) shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Trust Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order
to
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after
the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall, directly or through an agent,
mail
a final notice to remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates and shall continue to hold any remaining funds
for the benefit of non-tendering Certificateholders. The costs and expenses
of
maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall
be paid out of the assets remaining in such trust fund. If within one year
after
the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall pay to Citigroup Global Markets
Inc.
all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to
such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable
to
any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Trust Administrator
as
a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for
final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(e).
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no event shall the Certificate Principal
Balance of a Class A Certificate or a Mezzanine Certificate be reduced more
than
once in respect of any particular amount allocated to such Certificate in
respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (ii) in no event shall
the Uncertificated Balance of a REMIC Regular Interest be reduced more than
once
in respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated to such REMIC Regular
Interest in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b)
distributed on such REMIC Regular Interest in reduction of the Uncertificated
Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 4.01.

Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be distributed
to the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date
if
such amounts held for future distributions had not been so used to make P&I
Advances. The Trust Administrator will provide notice to the related Servicer
by
telecopy by the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Distribution
Date via email to the appropriate investor reporting contact of the Servicer
(as
well as the manager of the Servicer’s investor reporting group) in the event
that the amount remitted by the related Servicer to the Trust Administrator
on
such date is less than the P&I Advances required to be made by the Servicer
for the related Distribution Date.
(c) The
obligation of each Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to (d) below,
and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall continue until
a
Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the removal thereof
from
the Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, except
as
otherwise provided in this Section.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance or Servicing Advance shall
be required to be made hereunder by each Servicer if such P&I Advance or
Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively. The determination by a Servicer
that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, if made,
would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by a certification of a Servicing
Officer delivered to the Trust Administrator (whereupon, upon receipt of such
certification, the Trust Administrator shall forward a copy of such
certification to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Credit Risk Manager).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following the application of Liquidation
Proceeds on any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a Final Recovery
Determination, any Servicing Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall
remain unreimbursed to a Servicer, then without limiting the provisions of
Section 3.11(a), a certification of a Servicing Officer regarding such
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall not be required to be delivered by the
related Servicer to the Trust Administrator.
SECTION 4.04 |
Allocation
of Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses and Realized
Losses.
|
(a) Prior
to
each Distribution Date, each Servicer shall determine as to each Mortgage Loan
and REO Property: (i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred
in
connection with any Final Recovery Determinations made during the related
Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and the extent to which such Realized Losses
constituted Bankruptcy Losses; and (iii) the respective portions of such
Realized Losses allocable to interest and allocable to principal. Prior to
each
Distribution Date, each Servicer shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan:
(A) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with
any
Deficient Valuations made during the related Prepayment Period; and (B) the
total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with Debt
Service Reductions in respect of Monthly Payments due during the related Due
Period. The information described in the two preceding sentences that is to
be
supplied by each Servicer shall be either included in the related Remittance
Report (in form and format reasonably required and mutually agreed upon by
Servicers) or evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee by the related Servicer prior to the Determination
Date immediately following the end of (x) in the case of Bankruptcy Losses
allocable to interest, the Due Period during which any such Realized Loss was
incurred, and (y) in the case of all other Realized Losses, the Prepayment
Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred.
(b) All
Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trust
Administrator on each Distribution Date as follows: first, to the Interest
Distribution Amount for the Class CE Certificates for the related Interest
Accrual Period; second, to payments received under the cap contract, third,
to
the Class CE Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has
been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-11 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, fifth, to the
Class M-10 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero, sixth, to the Class M-9 Certificates until the Certificate

been
reduced to zero; thirteenth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero and fourteenth,
to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero.
All
Realized Losses to be allocated to the Certificate Principal Balances of all
Classes on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the actual
distributions to be made on such date as provided above. All references above
to
the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates shall be to
the
Certificate Principal Balance of such Class immediately prior to the relevant
Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses, in each
case
to be allocated to such Class of Certificates, on such Distribution
Date.
Any
allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate on any Distribution
Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by
the
amount so allocated and any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class CE
Certificates shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect
thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(3). No allocations of any Realized Losses
shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates
or the Class P Certificates.
(c) All
Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trust
Administrator on each Distribution Date to the following REMIC I Regular
Interests in the specified percentages, as follows: first, to Uncertificated

SECTION 4.05 |
Compliance
with Withholding Requirements.
|
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Trust Administrator shall comply
with
all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders
of interest or original issue discount that the Trust Administrator reasonably
believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall
not be required for such withholding. In the event the Trust Administrator
does
withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or
advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding
requirements, the Trust Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to
such
Certificateholders.
SECTION 4.06 |
Net
WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
|
(a) No
later
than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall establish and maintain
a
separate, segregated trust account titled, “Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account, Citibank, N.A., as Trust Administrator, in trust for the registered
holders of Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust, Asset-Backed Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2006-HE1.”
(b) On
each
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator has been directed by the Class CE
Certificateholders to, and therefore shall, deposit into the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account, any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts for such
Distribution Date, rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE
Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator
shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Floating
Rate
Certificates, and shall distribute the aggregate Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount,
if any, for such Distribution Date from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account to the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates in the amounts and
priorities set forth in Section 4.01(g).
On
each
Distribution Date, after the payment of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts
on
the Floating Rate Certificates, any amounts remaining in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account, shall be payable to the Trust Administrator as
additional compensation to it, subject to the immediately following
paragraph.
(c) For
federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE Certificateholders shall
be
deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account and all
amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be
treated as amounts distributed by REMIC II to the Holder of the Class CE
Interest and by REMIC III to the Holder of the Class CE Certificates. Upon
the
termination of the Trust Fund, or the payment in full of the Floating Rate
Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account shall be released by the Trust Fund and distributed to the
Class
CE Certificateholders or their designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account shall be part of the Trust Fund but not part of any Trust REMIC and
any
payments to the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates of Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a
REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).
(d) By
accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder hereby agrees
to direct the Trust Administrator, and the Trust Administrator is hereby is
directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts
described above on each Distribution Date rather than distributing such amounts
to the Class CE Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each
Class CE Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for
good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged
by such acceptance.
(e) All
amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall remain
uninvested.
(f) For
federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Holders of the
Floating Rate Certificates to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be
assigned a value of zero.
SECTION 4.07 |
Commission
Reporting.
|
(a)
(i)
Within 10 days after each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall,
in
accordance with industry standards, file with the Commission via the Electronic
Data Gathering and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”), a distribution report on Form
10-D, signed by the Depositor, with a copy of the monthly statement to be

Distribution Date. Any disclosure in addition to the monthly statement required
to be included on the Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) shall be
determined and prepared by the entity that is indicated in Exhibit B as the
responsible party for providing that information, and the Trust Administrator
will have no duty or liability to verify the accuracy or sufficiency of any
such
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure and the Trust Administrator shall have no
liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such Form
10-D
resulting from or relating to the Trust Administrator’s inability or failure to
obtain any information in a timely manner from the party responsible for
delivery of such Additional Form 10-D Disclosure.
Within
5
calendar days after the related Distribution Date (or if not a Business Day,
the

B
as the responsible party for providing Additional Form 10-D Disclosure shall
be
required to provide to the Trust

Form 10-D and forward the Form 10-D to the Depositor for verification. The
Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case
may
be, the Form 10-D. No later than three Business Days prior to the 10th
calendar

(ii) (ii)Within
three (3) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure
on
Form 8-K (each such event, a “Reportable Event”), the Trust Administrator shall
prepare and file any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act, (other than
the
initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the Certificates, which
shall be prepared and filed by the Depositor). Any disclosure or information
related to a Reportable Event or that is otherwise required to be included
on
Form 8-K (“Form 8-K Disclosure Information”) shall be determined and prepared by
the entity that is indicated in Exhibit B as the responsible party for providing
that information. The Trust Administrator shall not be responsible for determing
what information is required to be filed on Form 8-K or for any filing that
is
not made on a timely basis in accordance with Regulation AB in the event that
such information is not delivered to the Trust Adminsitrator on or prior to
the
fourth Business Day prior to the applicable filing deadline.
For
so
long as the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no
later than the end of business on the second Business Day after the occurrence
of a Reportable Event, the entity that is indicated in Exhibit B as the
responsible party for providing Form 8-K Disclosure Information shall be
required to provide to the Trust Administrator, to the extent known, the form
and substance of any Form 8-K Disclosure Information, if applicable. The Trust
Administrator shall compile the information provided to it, and prepare and

a
Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, March 31 of each year
thereafter, the Trust Administrator shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as

respect to any Sub-Servicer or subcontractor, if required to be filed) and
Section 3.21 with respect to the Trust Administrator, and the Form 10-K
certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H-1 (the “Certification”)
signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization.
The
Trust Administrator shall receive the items described in the preceding sentence
no later than March 1st
of each
calendar year prior to the filing deadline for the Form 10-K. If the Servicer
does not deliver such items by March 1st
of any
year, either the Trust Administrator or the Depositor shall provide the Servicer
with written notice of its failure to deliver such items and the Servicer shall
have 10 calendar days from the date of its receipt of such written notice to
cure such failure to deliver.
If
information, data and exhibits to be included in the Form 10-K are not so timely
delivered, the Trust Administrator shall file an amended Form 10-K
including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are
delivered to the Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator shall have no
liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic
reports resulting from or relating to the Trust Administrator’s inability or
failure to timely obtain any information from any other party.
Prior
to
(x) March 1, 2007 and (y) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall
have been filed, prior to March 1st
of each
year thereafter, each entity that is indicated in Exhibit B as the responsible
party for providing Additional Form 10-K Disclosure shall be required to provide
to the Trust Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known, the form

substance of any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure Information, if applicable.
The
Trust Administrator shall compile the information provided to it, prepare the

relevant year (or the immediately preceding Business Day if March 25th
is not a
Business Day), an officer of the Depositor shall sign the Form 10-K and return

of charge to any Certificateholder upon written request. Any expenses incurred
by the Trust Administrator in connection with the previous sentence shall be
reimbursable to the Trust Administrator out of the Trust Fund.
The
Trust
Administrator shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit H-2) for the benefit of the Depositor and its officers, directors
and Affiliates in respect of items 1 through 3 of the Certification (the “Trust
Administrator Certification”) (provided, however, that the Trust Administrator
shall not undertake an analysis of the Attestation Report attached as an exhibit
to the Form 10-K), and the Servicer shall sign a certification (the “Servicer
Certification) solely with respect to the Servicer (substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit H-3 or Exhibit H-4, as applicable) for the
benefit of the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and each Person, if any,
who
“controls” the Depositor or the Trust Administrator within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and their respective officers and directors.
Each such certification shall be delivered to the Depositor and the Trust
Administrator by March 20th
of each
year (or if not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day). The
Certification attached hereto as Exhibit H-1 shall be delivered to the
Trust Administrator by March 25th
for

Depositor, the Servicer and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and
against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable

Form
10-K from information provided to the Trust Administrator by the Servicer under
this Agreement. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or

agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor
as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor
in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor
on the one hand and the Trust Administrator on the other and (ii) the Servicer
agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor
as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor
in

ARTICLE
V
THE
CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01 |
The
Certificates.
|
(a) The
Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire beneficial ownership
interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets included in the Trust Fund.
At the Closing Date, the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the
Certificates will equal the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans.
The
Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits
A-1
through A-6. The Certificates of each Class will be issuable in registered
form
only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as described in the
definition thereof. Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the
related Class.
Upon
original issue, the Certificates shall be executed, authenticated and delivered
by the Trust Administrator to or upon the order of the Depositor. The
Certificates shall be executed and attested by manual or facsimile signature
on
behalf of the Trust Administrator by an authorized signatory. Certificates
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time
the proper officers of the Trust Administrator shall bind the Trust
Administrator, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased
to hold such offices prior to the execution, authentication and delivery of
such
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates.
No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid
for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided herein executed by the Trust
Administrator by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication shall
be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been
duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated
the
date of their authentication.
(b) The
Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates
held by Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as
provided below, the Depository and registered in the name of the Depository
or
its nominee and, except as provided below, registration of such Certificates
may
not be transferred by the Trust Administrator except to another Depository
that
agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with
Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective
Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates through the book-entry
facilities of the Depository and, except as provided below, shall not be
entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive
Certificates”) in respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers by
Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by
the
Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner.
Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests in
the
Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage
firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal
procedures. The Trust Administrator is hereby initially appointed as the
Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith
and
in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing
it
to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and if it is no longer qualified
to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument
delivered to the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trust Administrator and any
other transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository)
to
act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry
Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided
that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its
duties or responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than
the
Depository. If the Trust Administrator resigns or is removed in accordance
with
the terms hereof, the successor Trust Administrator or, if it so elects, the
Depository shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s duties as Book-Entry
Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies
of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry
Custodian.
The
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Servicers and the Depositor may for all
purposes (including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates)
deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of
exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the
Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate
Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository
as
Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter
shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different
Certificate Owners. The Trust Administrator may establish a reasonable record
date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by
Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record
date.
If
(i)(A)
the Depositor advises the Trust Administrator in writing that the Depository
is
no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as
Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor
or
(ii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, Certificate Owners
representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the Ownership Interests
of
the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trust Administrator through the
Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a book-entry system through
the
Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the
Trust Administrator shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository,
of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive
Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
Trust Administrator of the Book- Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian
or the Depository, as applicable, accompanied by registration instructions
from
the Depository for registration of transfer, the Trust Administrator shall
issue
the Definitive Certificates. Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in
minimum denominations of $25,000, except that any beneficial ownership that
was
represented by a Book-Entry Certificate in an amount less than $25,000
immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be issued
in
a minimum denomination equal to the amount represented by such Book-Entry
Certificate. None of the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator
nor
the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of such instructions
and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein
to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed
to be imposed upon and performed by the Trust Administrator, to the extent
applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Trust
Administrator shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.
SECTION 5.02 |
Registration
of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
|
(a) The
Trust
Administrator shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to be
appointed by the Trust Administrator in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8.12 a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which, subject
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.
(b) No
transfer of any Private Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and effective registration or qualification
under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does
not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a
transfer of a Private Certificate is to be made without registration or
qualification (other than in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any
such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor or, in the
case of the Residual Certificates, the first transfer by an Affiliate of the
Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or Residual
Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee or
indenture trustee administrator under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of
any
such Class CE, Class P or Residual Certificate from the issuer under the
Indenture or the indenture trustee or indenture trustee administrator under
the
Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor), the Trustee shall
require receipt of: (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance
upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and from such
Certificateholder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached
hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration
(which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Servicers, in its capacity
as such, or any Sub-Servicer), together with copies of the written
certification(s) of the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or
such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based, if any. None of the Depositor, the Trust Administrator or
the
Trustee is obligated to register or qualify any such Certificates under the
1933
Act or any other securities laws or to take any action not otherwise required
under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without
registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect the
transfer of any such Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify
the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor and the Servicers against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event of any such transfer of any Ownership Interest
in
any Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, except with respect
to
the initial transfer of any such Ownership Interest by the Depositor, such
transfer shall be required to be made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the
1933
Act, and the transferee will be deemed to have made each of the transferee
representations and warranties set forth Exhibit F-1 hereto in respect of such
interest as if it was evidenced by a Definitive Certificate. The Certificate
Owner of any such Ownership Interest in any such Book-Entry Certificate desiring
to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee
and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is
not
so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state
laws.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of Counsel described in this Section
5.02(b) will be required in connection with the transfer, on the Closing Date,
of any Residual Certificate by the Depositor to an “accredited investor” within
the meaning of Rule 501(d) of the 1933 Act.
No
transfer of a Private Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to
any
Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly
or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such
Certificates with “Plan Assets” of a Plan within the meaning of the Department
of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R.§ 2510.3-101 (“Plan Assets”), as
certified by such transferee in the form of Exhibit G, unless, (i) in the case
of a Class CE Certificate, a Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate, the
Trust Administrator is provided with an Opinion of Counsel on which the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicers may rely, to the
effect that the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under ERISA and
the
Code, will not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction
under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor,
the
Servicers, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund to any
obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the
Servicers, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund or (ii) in
the
case of a Class M-10 or Class M-11 Certificate, (1) such Person is an insurance
company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the Certificate or
interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is
defined in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60 and (3) the
conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied. Neither
a
certification nor an Opinion of Counsel will be required in connection with
(i)
the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate
of
the Depositor or, in the case of the Residual Certificates, the first transfer
by an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Class CE, Class
P or Residual Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture
trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Class CE, Class
P or
Residual Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture
trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor
(in which case, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof shall have deemed to
have
represented that such Affiliate is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets)
and the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a
representation (which, upon the request of the Trust Administrator, shall be
a
written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee
as
an affiliate of the Depositor.
Each
beneficial owner of a Mezzanine Certificate (other than a Class M-10 or Class
M-11 Certificate) or any interest therein shall be deemed to have represented,
by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that certificate or interest therein,
that either (i) it is not a Plan investor, (ii) it has acquired and is holding
such Mezzanine Certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption
(“PTE”) 91-23, as amended by XXX 00-00, XXX 0000-00 and PTE 2002-41 (the
“Underwriters’ Exemption”), and that it understands that there are certain
conditions to the availability of the Underwriters’ Exemption, including that
such Mezzanine Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower
than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by S&P, Xxxxx’x or Fitch and the
Certificates are so rated or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the
source of funds used to acquire or hold the Certificate or interest therein
is
an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60,
and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been
satisfied.
If
any
Private Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate or any interest therein is acquired
or held in violation of the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, the
next
preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner
of
that Certificate retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial
owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such
Certificate or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions
of
the preceding two paragraphs shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor,
the Servicers, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Trust Fund from
and
against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those
parties as a result of that acquisition or holding.
(c) (i)
Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably
authorized the Trust Administrator or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below
to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate the
terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all
instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection
with
any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a
Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(A) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trust
Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(B) In
connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, the Trust Administrator shall require delivery to it and shall
not
register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt of an
affidavit and agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement”), in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F-2, from the proposed Transferee, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trust Administrator, representing and warranting,
among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it
is
not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the
subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted
Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02(d)
and
agrees to be bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding
the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee
under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator
who
is assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed
Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be
effected.
(D) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other
Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless
it
provides a transferor affidavit (a “Transferor Affidavit”), in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit F-2, to the Trust Administrator stating that, among other
things, it has no actual knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(E) Each
Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate,
by
purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the Trust
Administrator written notice that it is a “pass-through interest holder” within
the meaning of temporary Treasury regulation Section 1.67- 3T(a)(2)(i)(A)
immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate,
if
it is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf
of, a “pass-through interest holder.”
(ii) The
Trust
Administrator will register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate only if
it
shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement and all of such other
documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Trust Administrator
as a
condition to such registration. In addition, no Transfer of a Residual
Certificate shall be made unless the Trust Administrator shall have received
a
representation letter from the Transferee of such Certificate to the effect
that
such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee.
(iii) (A)
If any
purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in
violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(d), then the last preceding
Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to
all
rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such
Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trust Administrator shall be under
no
liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(d) or for making
any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any
other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this
Agreement.
(B) If
any
purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in
violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(d) and to the extent that
the
retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder of such Residual Certificate
as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, then the Trust Administrator shall have the right, without notice
to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such
Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Trust Administrator on
such
terms as the Trust Administrator may choose. Such purported Transferee shall
promptly endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance with the
instructions of the Trust Administrator. Such purchaser may be the Trust
Administrator itself or any Affiliate of the Trust Administrator. The proceeds
of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable
to
the Trust Administrator or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any,
will
be remitted by the Trust Administrator to such purported Transferee. The terms
and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in
the
sole discretion of the Trust Administrator, and the Trust Administrator shall
not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The
Trust
Administrator shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service and those
Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information necessary to compute
any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in
a
Residual Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including
the information described in Treasury regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and
1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the “excess inclusions” of such Residual
Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate
investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization
described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate having as among its record holders at any time any Person
which is a Disqualified Organization. Reasonable compensation for providing
such
information may be accepted by the Trust Administrator.
(v) The
provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to this subsection (v) may
be
modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered
to the Trust Administrator at the expense of the party seeking to modify, add
to
or eliminate any such provision the following:
(A) written
notification from the Rating Agencies to the effect that the modification,
addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause the Rating Agencies
to downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates;
and
(B) an
Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trust
Administrator, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or
elimination of such provisions will not cause any Trust REMIC to cease to
qualify as a REMIC and will not cause (x) any Trust REMIC to be subject to
an
entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee or (y) a Person other than the prospective
transferee to be subject to a REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual
Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.
(d) Subject
to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Trust Administrator maintained for
such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trust Administrator shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated Transferee or
Transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate
Percentage Interest.
(e) At
the
option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be exchanged for other
Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations and a like
aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to be
exchanged at any office or agency of the Trust Administrator maintained for
such
purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered
for exchange, upon notice from the Trust Administrator, the Trust Administrator
shall execute, authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate
presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by
the
Trust Administrator) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator
duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
In
addition, (i) with respect to each Class R Certificate, the Holder thereof
may
exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R Certificate for two
separate Certificates, each representing such Holder’s respective Percentage
Interest in the Class R-I Interest and the Class R-II Interest that was
evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged and (ii) with respect
to
each Class R-X Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in the manner
described above, such Class R-X Certificate for two separate Certificates,
each
representing such Holder’s respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-III
Interest and the Class R-IV Interest, respectively, in each case that was
evidenced by the Class R-X Certificate being exchanged.
(f) No
service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of
a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(g) All
Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be canceled and
destroyed by the Trust Administrator in accordance with its customary
procedures.
SECTION 5.03 |
Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.
|
If
(i)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trust Administrator, or the
Trust Administrator receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to 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 actual knowledge by 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 the same Class and of like denomination and
Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this
Section, the Trust Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient
to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trust
Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant
to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership
in the applicable REMIC created hereunder, as if originally issued, whether
or
not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any
time.
SECTION 5.04 |
Persons
Deemed Owners.
|
The
Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and any agent
of
any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered
as
the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions
pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of
the
Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or any agent
of
any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.05 |
Certain
Available Information.

Liability
of the Depositor and the Servicers.
|
Each
Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the
obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement and undertaken hereunder
by
each Servicer herein. The Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith
only
to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement and
undertaken hereunder by the Depositor herein.
SECTION 6.02 |
Merger
or Consolidation of the Depositor or the
Servicers.
|
Subject
to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following paragraph, each
Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a
corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and its
qualification as an approved conventional seller/servicer for Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac in good standing. The Depositor and the Servicers each will obtain
and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each
jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect
the
validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the
Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this
Agreement.
The
Depositor or the Servicers may be merged or consolidated with or into any
Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in
which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the
Depositor or the Servicers shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the
business of the Depositor or the Servicers, shall be the successor of the
Depositor or the Servicers, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however,
that
the successor or surviving Person to the Servicers shall be qualified to service
mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac; and provided further
that
the Rating Agencies’ ratings of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine
Certificates in effect immediately prior to such merger or consolidation will

SECTION 6.03 |
Limitation
on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicers and
Others.
|
None
of
the Depositor, the Servicers (and any Sub-Servicer) or any of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Servicers (and any
Sub-Servicer) shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of
any
action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement, as applicable, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Servicers (and any
Sub-Servicer) or any such person against any breach of warranties,
representations or covenants made herein, or against any specific liability
imposed on the related Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) pursuant hereto or the
related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable, or against any liability which
would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard
of
obligations and duties hereunder or the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as
applicable. The Depositor, the Servicers (and any Sub-Servicer) and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Servicers may
rely
in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima
facie,
is
properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder or the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Depositor,
the Servicers (and any Sub-Servicer) and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Depositor or the Servicers (and any Sub-Servicer) shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against (i) any loss, liability
or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this
Agreement or the Certificates (except as any such loss, liability or expense
shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or any loss,
liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement, as applicable, or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations
and
duties hereunder or the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and
(ii)
any breach of a representation or warranty regarding the Mortgage Loans. None
of
the Depositor or the Servicers (and any Sub-Servicer) shall be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action
is related to its respective duties under this Agreement or the related
Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and, in its opinion, does not involve
it
in any expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor
and
the Servicers (and any Sub-Servicer) may in its discretion undertake any such
action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement
or the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and the rights and duties
of the parties hereto or to the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable,
and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, unless
the
Depositor or the Servicers (and any Sub-Servicer) acts without the consent
of
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights (which
consent shall not be necessary in the case of litigation or other legal action
by either to enforce their respective rights or defend themselves hereunder
or
the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable), the legal expenses and
costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except any loss,
liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or the related Sub-Servicing

the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the related
Collection Account.
SECTION 6.04 |
Limitation
on Resignation of the Servicers.
|
Each
Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on
it
except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the written consent of the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld,
with written confirmation from the Rating Agencies (which confirmation shall
be
furnished to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator) that such
resignation will not cause the Rating Agencies to reduce the then current rating
of the Class A Certificates and provided that a qualified successor has agreed
to assume the duties and obligations of the related Servicer hereunder. Any
such
determination pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence permitting the
resignation of the related Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
to such effect obtained at the expense of the related Servicer and delivered
to
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator. No resignation of the related Servicer
shall become effective until the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as
applicable, in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof, or a successor servicer
shall have assumed the related Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities
(other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such
successor) and obligations under this Agreement.
Except
as
expressly provided herein, the related Servicer shall not assign or transfer
any
of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, nor
delegate to or subcontract with, nor authorize or appoint any other Person

reliance upon information provided by the related Servicer under the related
Credit Risk Management Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however,
that this provision shall not protect the Credit Risk Manager or any such person

the
Trustee (in which case notice shall be provided by telecopy), or to the
Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee by the Holders

contained in this Agreement, or the breach by the Servicer of any representation
and warranty contained in Section 2.05 (other than representation 2.05(a)(x)),
which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days (or if such failure or breach
cannot be remedied within 30 days, then such remedy shall have been commenced
within 30 days and diligently pursued thereafter; provided, however, that in
no
event shall such failure or breach be allowed to exist for a period of greater
than 60 days) after the earlier of (i) the date on which written notice of
such
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Servicer by the Depositor, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, or to the
Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee by the Holders
of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights and (ii) actual

or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction
in
the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or
state
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling
of
assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and
if
such proceeding is being contested by the Servicer in good faith such decree
or
order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of
60
consecutive days or results in the entry of an order for relief or any such
adjudication or appointment; or
(iv) the
Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or
relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(v) the
Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as
they
become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency
or
reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors,
or
voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(vi) any
failure of the Servicer to make any P&I Advance on any Servicer Remittance
Date required to be made from its own funds pursuant to Section 4.03 which
continues unremedied until 5:00 p.m. New York time on first Business Day after
the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trust Administrator
or
the Trustee (in which case notice shall be provided by telecopy).
If
a
Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (v) of this Section
shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Servicer
Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee
may,
and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least
51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer
(and to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator if given by the Trustee or
to
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator if given by the Depositor), terminate
all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer in its capacity as a Servicer
under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof.
If a
Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall occur and shall
not have been remedied during the applicable time period set forth in clause
(vi) above, the Trust Administrator shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer
and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer
in its capacity as a Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof. On
or
after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and
power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans
or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trust Administrator pursuant
to
and under this Section and, without limitation, the Trust Administrator is
hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute
and deliver on behalf of and at the expense of the Servicer, 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 Servicer agrees, at its sole
cost
and expense, promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days
subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trust Administrator with all documents
and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer’s functions
under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trust Administrator in effecting
the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer within one Business
Day
to the Trust Administrator for administration by it of all cash amounts which
at
the time shall be or should have been credited by the Servicer to the Collection
Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer, the Distribution Account or any
REO Account or Servicing Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer or
thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property
serviced by the Servicer (provided, however, that the Servicer shall continue
to
be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement
on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of P&I
Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events
occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.01, the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall not be deemed to have knowledge of
a
Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, as the case may be, assigned to and working in the
Trustee’s or the Trust Administrator’s Corporate Trust Office, as applicable,
has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is
in
fact such a Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, and such notice references the Certificates,
the
Trust Fund or this Agreement.
SECTION 7.02 |
Trust
Administrator or Trustee to Act; Appointment of
Successor.
|
(a) On
and
after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination, the Trust
Administrator (and in the event the Trust Administrator fails in its obligation,
the Trustee) shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its
capacity as Servicer under this Agreement, the Servicer shall not have the
right
to withdraw any funds from the Collection Account without the consent of the
Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, and the transactions set
forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the
Servicer (except for any representations or warranties of the Servicer under
this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in
Section 2.03(c) and its obligation to deposit amounts in respect of losses
pursuant to Section 3.12) by the terms and provisions hereof including, without
limitation, the Servicer’s obligations to make P&I Advances pursuant to
Section 4.03; provided, however, that if the Trust Administrator or the Trustee,
as applicable, is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to
make
advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Trust Administrator
or
the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be obligated to make P&I Advances
pursuant to Section 4.03; and provided further, that any failure to perform
such
duties or responsibilities caused by the Servicer’s failure to provide
information required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the
Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, as successor to the Servicer
hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee,
as
applicable, shall be entitled to the Servicing Fees and all funds relating
to
the Mortgage Loans to which the Servicer would have been entitled if it had
continued to act hereunder (other than amounts which were due or would become
due to the Servicer prior to its termination or resignation). Notwithstanding
the above, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, may, if it
shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if it
is
prohibited by law from making advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans,
or
if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights
so
request in writing to the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable,
promptly appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint,
an
established mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to the Rating
Agencies and having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 as the successor
to
the Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement.
No
appointment of a successor Servicer under this Agreement shall be effective
until the assumption by the successor of all of the Servicer’s responsibilities,
duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection with such appointment and
assumption described herein, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as
applicable, may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor
out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree;
provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that
permitted the Servicer as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer under this Agreement, the
Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, shall act in such capacity
as
hereinabove provided.
(b) In
connection with the termination or resignation of the Servicer hereunder, either
(i) the successor servicer, including the Trust Administrator or the Trustee,
as
applicable, if the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, is acting
as successor Servicer, shall represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS
in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the
rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage
Loans that are registered with MERS, in which case the predecessor Servicer
shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to revise its
records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor Servicer as
necessary under MERS’ rules and regulations, or (ii) the predecessor Servicer
shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to execute and
deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage
from MERS to the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, and to
execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as
may
be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or
servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the successor Servicer.
The predecessor Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment
in
the appropriate recording office. The predecessor Servicer shall bear any and
all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any assignments of Mortgage, and fees
and
costs of filing any assignments of Mortgage that may be required under this
Section 7.02(b).
SECTION 7.03 |
Notification
to Certificateholders.
|
(a) Upon
any
termination of a Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 above or any appointment
of a
successor to a Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 above, the Trust
Administrator shall
give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.
(b) Not
later
than the later of 60 days after the occurrence of any event, which constitutes
or which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer
Event of Default or five days after a Responsible Officer of the Trust
Administrator becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trust
Administrator shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice
of
each such occurrence, unless such default or Servicer Event of Default shall
have been cured or waived.
SECTION 7.04 |
Waiver
of Servicer Events of Default.
|
Subject
to Section 11.09(d), the Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights
evidenced by all Classes of Certificates affected by any default or Servicer
Event of Default hereunder may waive such default or Servicer Event of Default;
provided, however, that a default or Servicer Event of Default under clause
(i)
or (vi) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular
Certificates. Upon any such waiver of a default or Servicer Event of Default,
such default or Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be
deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or Servicer Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so
waived.

may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as
are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. During a Servicer Event of Default,
each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall exercise such of the
rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of
care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use
under
the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. Any permissive
right of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator enumerated in this Agreement
shall not be construed as a duty.
Each
of
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to it, which are specifically required to be furnished
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine
whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however,
that neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator will be responsible for
the
accuracy or content of any such resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents or other instruments. If any such instrument is found not
to
conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, it shall
take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected,
and
if the instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, it will provide notice
thereof to the Certificateholders.
No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however,
that:
(i) Prior
to
the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, and after the curing of all
such
Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations
of each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall be determined solely
by
the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator shall be liable except for the performance of such duties and
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee
or the Trust Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of
the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as the case may be, may conclusively rely, as to the truth of
the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator,
as
the case may be, that conform to the requirements of this
Agreement;
(ii) Neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be personally liable for any
error
of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers
of it unless it shall be proved that it was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts;
(iii) Neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be personally liable with respect
to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at

conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the it or exercising
any
trust or power conferred upon it, under this Agreement; and
(iv) Neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be required to take notice or
be
deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default unless a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, shall have
received written notice thereof or a Responsible Officer shall have actual
knowledge thereof. In the absence of receipt of such notice or actual knowledge,
the Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable, may conclusively assume
there
is no default.
Neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be required to expend or risk
its
own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any
of
its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, in
each
case not including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by
the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, including the compensation
and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel, in the ordinary
course of the Trustee’s or the Trust Administrator’s, as the case may be,
performance in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, if there is
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. With
respect to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, none of the provisions
contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as the case may be, to perform, or be responsible for the manner
of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicers under this Agreement,
except during such time, if any, as the Trustee or the Trust Administrator,
as
applicable, shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties,
powers and privileges of, the Servicers in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

Trust Administrator, as applicable, may require indemnity satisfactory to it
against such cost, expense, or liability from such Certificateholders as a
condition to taking any such action;

corporation or an association organized and doing business under the laws of
any
state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority. In case at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
SECTION 8.07 |
Resignation
and Removal of the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator.
|
Either
of
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged
from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor,
the Servicers and the Certificateholders and, if the Trustee is resigning,
to
the Trust Administrator, or, if the Trust Administrator is resigning, to the
Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly
appoint a successor trustee or trust administrator (which may be the same Person
in the event both the Trustee and the Trust Administrator resign or are removed)
by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to
the
resigning Trustee or Trust Administrator and to the successor trustee or trust
administrator, as applicable. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered
to
the Certificateholders, the Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable,
and
the Servicers by the Depositor. If no successor trustee or trust administrator
shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after
the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Trust
Administrator, as applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor trustee or trust administrator, as
applicable.
If
at any
time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor (or in the case of the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee), or if at any time the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt
or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control
of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of its property or affairs for
the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor
(or
in the case of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee) may remove the Trustee
or
the Trust Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor trustee or
trust
administrator (which may be the same Person in the event both the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator resign or are removed) by written instrument, in
duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or Trust
Administrator so removed and to the successor trustee or trust administrator.
A
copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, and the Servicers by the
Depositor.
The
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at
any
time remove the Trustee or the Trust Administrator and appoint a successor
trustee or trust administrator by written instrument or instruments, in
triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized,
one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor,
one
complete set to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be,
so
removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such
instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Servicers by
the
Depositor.
If
no
successor Trust Administrator shall have been appointed and shall have accepted
appointment within 60 days after the Trust Administrator ceases to be the Trust
Administrator pursuant to this Section 8.07, then the Trustee shall perform
the
duties of the Trust Administrator pursuant to this Agreement. The Trustee shall
notify the Rating Agencies of any change of Trust Administrator.
Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator and appointment
of a successor trustee or trust administrator, as the case may be, pursuant
to
any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or trust administrator as
provided in Section 8.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Trust
Administrator advises the Trustee that it is unable to continue to perform
its
obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement prior to the appointment
of
a successor, the Trustee shall be obligated to perform such obligations until
a
new trust administrator is appointed. Such performance shall be without
prejudice to any claim by a party hereto or beneficiary hereof resulting from
the Trust Administrator’s breach of its obligations hereunder. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all fees the Trust Administrator
would have been entitled to if it had continued to act hereunder.
SECTION 8.08 |
Successor
Trustee or Trust Administrator.
|
Any
successor trustee or trust administrator appointed as provided in Section 8.07
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, as applicable, and to its predecessor trustee or trust
administrator an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon
the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee or trust administrator
shall become effective and such successor trustee or trust administrator,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with
all
the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with
the like effect as if originally named as trustee or trust administrator herein.
The predecessor trustee or trust administrator shall deliver to the successor
trustee or trust administrator all Mortgage Files and related documents and
statements, as well as all moneys, held by it hereunder and the Depositor and
the predecessor trustee or trust administrator shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee or trust
administrator all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No
successor trustee or trust administrator shall accept appointment as provided
in
this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee or
trust administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06
and
the appointment of such successor trustee or trust administrator shall not
result in a downgrading of any Class of Certificates by the Rating Agencies,
as
evidenced by a letter from the Rating Agencies.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or trust administrator as
provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession
of
such trustee or trust administrator hereunder to all Holders of Certificates
at
their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails
to
mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee or trust administrator, the successor trustee or trust administrator
shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Depositor.
SECTION 8.09 |
Merger
or Consolidation of Trustee or Trust
Administrator.
|
Any
corporation or association into which either the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated
or
any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case
may
be, shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the
business of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall be
the
successor of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be,
hereunder, provided such corporation or association shall be eligible under
the
provisions of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or
any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.10 |
Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
|
Notwithstanding
any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal
requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of REMIC I or property
securing the same may at the time be located, the Servicers 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 REMIC I, and to vest in such Person
or
Persons, in such capacity, such title to REMIC I, or any part thereof, and,
subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicers and the Trustee may consider
necessary or desirable. If such Servicer shall not have joined in such
appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or
in
case a Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee
or
separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility
as
a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of
Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall
be
required under Section 8.08 hereof.
In
the
case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this
Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed
by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the
extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or
acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as Trustee hereunder or as
successor to the Servicers hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers,
duties and obligations (including the holding of title to REMIC I or any portion
thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such
separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.
Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have
been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively
as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee
or
co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article
VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trust
conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as
may
be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
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.

to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities under this
Agreement of the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than the obligations
of
the Servicers to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section
8.05 and of the Servicers to provide for and the Trust Administrator to make
payments in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Classes of
Certificates as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment to the
Certificateholders and the deposit of all amounts held by or on behalf of the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator and required hereunder to be so paid or
deposited on the Distribution Date coinciding with or following the earlier

occur of (i) the purchase by the Terminator (on a servicing retained basis)
of
all Mortgage Loans and each related REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii)
the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto)
of
the last Mortgage Loan or related REO Property remaining in REMIC I; provided,
however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the

value of any REO Properties (such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser
mutually agreed upon by the Servicers and the Trust Administrator) and (ii)
the
fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties (as determined
by
the Servicers, with the consent of the Trust Administrator as of the close
of
business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice
of
any such termination is furnished to the related Certificateholders pursuant
to
Section 9.01(c)), in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at
the
weighted average of the Mortgage Rates through the end of the Due Period
preceding the final Distribution Date plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances
allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (the “Termination

provided, however, such option may only be exercised if the Termination Price

(b) Xxxxx
Fargo shall have the right (the party exercising such right, the “Terminator”),
to

on
which the Certificates will be retired; provided, however, that the Terminator

Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust
Fund
at the time of such election is reduced to less than 10% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. In addition,
to
the extent that the Terminator fails to exercise such option, JPMorgan may
purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC

pay
any such amounts to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.
(c) Notice
of
the liquidation of any Certificates shall be given promptly by the Trust
Administrator by letter to the related Certificateholders mailed (a) in the
event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage
Loans
and each related REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the Terminator, not

preceding the month of the final distribution on the related Certificates or
(b)
otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the

from
and after the Interest Accrual Period relating to the final Distribution Date

such
notice is given in connection with the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans
and
each REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the Terminator, the Terminator shall
deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account
not
later than the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month in which
such distribution will be made an amount in immediately available funds equal
to
the Termination Price. Upon certification to the Trust Administrator by a
Servicing Officer of the making of such final deposit, the Trust Administrator
shall promptly release or cause to be released to the related Terminator the
Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and the Trust Administrator
shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments delivered
to
it which are necessary to effectuate such transfer.
(d) Upon
receipt of notice by the Trust Administrator of the presentation of the
Certificates by the Certificateholders on the related final Distribution Date
to
the Trust Administrator, the Trust Administrator shall distribute to each
Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates the amount
otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in accordance with Section
4.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and surrendered. Any funds
not
distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates being retired on such
Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender
their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by the
Trust Administrator and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering
Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given
pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation
within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Trust
Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order
to
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after
the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall, directly or through an agent,
mail
a final notice to remaining related non-tendering Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the
funds
in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the
assets remaining in the trust funds. If within one year after the final notice
any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Trust Administrator shall pay to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. all such amounts,
and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall
thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder
on any amount held in trust by the Trust Administrator as a result of such
Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment
thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.
Immediately
following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder in respect of each of the
Certificates the Trust Fund shall terminate.

the person who will serve as the representative of any Trust REMIC. The Servicer
shall provide on a timely basis to the Trust Administrator such information
with
respect to the assets of the Trust Fund, including, without limitation, the
Mortgage Loans, as is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trust
Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection.
In
addition, the Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trust
Administrator, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information
or
data that the Trust Administrator reasonably determines to be relevant for tax
purposes as to the valuations and issue prices of the Certificates, including,
without limitation, the price, yield, Prepayment Assumption and projected cash
flow of the Certificates.
(f) The
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates
shall take such action or cause the Trust REMIC to take such action as shall
be
necessary to create or maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions. The Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Servicer shall not
take
any action or cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail
to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken
or
not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of each Trust
REMIC
as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund
(including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined
in
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set
forth
in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”)
unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator (at the expense of the party seeking to take such
action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator)
to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to any Trust
REMIC, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor
shall
the Servicer take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized
hereunder) as to which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator has advised it
in
writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse
REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action; provided that the Servicer
may conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and shall incur no liability
for its action or failure to act in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel.
In
addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any Trust REMIC or the
respective assets of each, or causing any Trust REMIC to take any action, which
is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer consult
with
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator or their designee, in writing, with
respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur
with
respect to any Trust REMIC and the Servicer shall not take any such action
or
cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could
occur; provided that the Servicer may conclusively rely on such writing and
shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with
such writing. The Trust Administrator and the Trustee may consult with counsel
to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party
seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event
shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator. At
all
times as may be required by the Code, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator
and
the Servicer will ensure that substantially all of the assets of REMIC I will
consist of “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code
and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code, to the
extent such obligations are within the Trustee’s, Trust Administrator’s or
Servicer’s, as applicable, control and not otherwise inconsistent with the terms
of this Agreement.
(g) In
the
event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of the REMIC created
hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from
foreclosure property” of the REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on
any contributions to the REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to
Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any
applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged
(i)
to the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises
out of or results from a breach by the Trust Administrator of any of its
obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03
hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of
any
of its obligations under this Article X, (iii) to the Servicer pursuant to
Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by
the
Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Article X, or
otherwise (iv) against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall
be paid by withdrawal therefrom.
(h) [Reserved].
(i) The
Trust
Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records
with respect to any Trust REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual
basis.
(j) Following
the Startup Day, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall
not
accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other than in connection
with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section
2.03 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
the
inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause the REMIC to fail
to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject
the REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions
of federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(k) None
of
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Servicer shall enter into any
arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation
for services nor permit either such REMIC to receive any income from assets
other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or
“permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the
Code.
SECTION 10.02 |
Prohibited
Transactions and Activities.
|
None
of
the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee shall sell,
dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection
with (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to,
the
acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of
foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of any Trust REMIC, (iii) the termination
of
any Trust REMIC pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution
pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a purchase of Mortgage Loans
pursuant to Article II or III of this Agreement), nor acquire any assets for
any
Trust REMIC (other than REO Property acquired in respect of a defaulted Mortgage
Loan), nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or
the
Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any Trust REMIC
after the Closing Date (other than a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
delivered in accordance with Section 2.03), unless it has received an Opinion
of
Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator (at the expense
of
the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition
or
contribution but in no event at the expense of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator) that such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or
contribution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as
a
REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited
transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
SECTION 10.03 |
Servicer,
Trustee and Trust Administrator
Indemnification.
|
(a) The
Trust
Administrator agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Servicer
and the Trustee for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any
reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee as a result of a breach of the Trust
Administrator’s covenants set forth in this Article X.
(b) The
Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee for any taxes and costs including, without
limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust
Fund, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as a result of
a
breach of the Servicer’s covenants set forth in Article III or this Article
X.
(c) The
Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator and the Servicer for any taxes and costs including, without
limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust
Fund, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator or the Servicer, as a result of
a
breach of the Trustee’s covenants set forth in this Article X.
ARTICLE
XI
MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS
SECTION 11.01 |
Amendment.
|
This
Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer,
the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect, (ii) to correct, modify
or supplement any provisions herein (including to give effect to the
expectations of Certificateholders) or (iii) to make any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall not
be
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, provided that such action
shall not, as evidenced by either (a) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator, adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of any Certificateholder or (b) written notice to the Depositor,
the Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator from the Rating Agencies
that such action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating
of
any outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating
Agency). No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto,
and no Opinion of Counsel or Rating Agency confirmation shall be required to
address the effect of any such amendment on any such consenting
Certificateholder.
This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights for the purpose
of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Cap
Provider or Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment
shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii)
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Cap Provider
or
Holders of any Class of Certificates (as evidenced by either (i) an Opinion
of
Counsel delivered to the Trustee and Trust Administrator or (ii) written notice
to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator from
the
Rating Agencies that such action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal
of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which
it
is a Rating Agency) in a manner, other than as described in (i), without the
consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing at least 66%
of
the Voting Rights allocated to such Class, or (iii) modify the consents required
by the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) without the consent of the
Holders of all Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of
consents pursuant to this Section 11.01, Certificates registered in the name
of
the Depositor or the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to
Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator shall consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall
have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment
will
not result in the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the
REMIC
Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificates are outstanding.
Prior
to
executing any amendment pursuant to this Section, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel (provided
by
the Person requesting such amendment) to the effect that such amendment is
authorized or permitted by this Agreement.
Notwithstanding
any of the other provisions of this Section 11.01, none of the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Trustee shall enter into any amendment to Section 4.01(e),
Section 4.08 or Section 11.10 of this Agreement without the prior written
consent of the Cap Provider.
Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment the Trust Administrator shall furnish
a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner
of
obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations
as
the Trust Administrator may prescribe.
The
cost
of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to this Section 11.01 shall
be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment, but in no event shall
such
Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, each of the Trustee and Trust Administrator may, but shall not
be
obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section that affects
its
rights, duties and immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.
SECTION 11.02 |
Recordation
of Agreement; Counterparts.

To
the
extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation
in
all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties
or
other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject
to
the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office
or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Servicer at the expense
of
the Certificateholders, but only upon direction of Certificateholders
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation
materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders.
For
the
purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided
and
for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number
of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original,
and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same
instrument.

Limitation
on Rights of Certificateholders.

representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust Fund, nor
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.
No
Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly provided
for
herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of
the
Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein
set forth, or contained in the terms of any of the Certificates, be construed
so
as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members
of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to
any
third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement
pursuant to any provision hereof.
No
Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this
Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon
or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless (i) such Holder previously
shall have given to the Trustee and Trust Administrator a written notice of
default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and (ii)
the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall
have
made written request upon the Trustee and the Trust Administrator to institute
such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee or Trust
Administrator hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, such indemnity satisfactory to it against the
costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, for 15 days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to
institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is understood and intended,
and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, that no one or
more
Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue
of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights
of
the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right
under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal,
ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and
enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder,
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to such relief as
can
be given either at law or in equity.

Article
and Section References.
|
All
article and section references used in this Agreement, unless otherwise

SECTION 11.09 |
Grant
of Security Interest.
|
It
is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans
by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage
Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor
to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event
that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage
Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a) it is the express
intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage
Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation
of
the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security
agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial
Code
as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance
provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the
Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right,
title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to
the
holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all
proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested
in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account, whether in the form
of
cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured
by
such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor’s obligations
under this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the
Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage
Loans
and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property,
and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee
for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest
in
the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the
preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance
by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding
sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the
conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and unconditional
sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the
Depositor to the Trustee.
SECTION 11.10 |
Third
Party Rights.
|
The
Cap
Provider shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the
same
extent as if it were a party hereto, and shall have the right to enforce the
provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 11.11 |
Intention
of the Parties and Interpretation.
|
Each
of
the parties acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Sections 3.20, 3.21
and 4.07 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by
the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB promulgated by the
Commission
under
the 1934 Act (17 C.F.R. §§ 229.1100 - 229.1123), as such may be amended from
time to time and subject to clarification and interpretive advice as may be
issued by the staff of the Commission from time to time. Therefore, each of
the
parties agrees that (a) the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be
interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish that purpose, (b) the parties’
obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be
consistent with any such amendments, interpretive advice or guidance, convention
or consensus among active participants in the asset-backed securities markets,
opinion of counsel, or otherwise in respect of the requirements of Regulation
AB, (c) the parties shall comply with requests made by the Depositor for
delivery of additional or different information, to the extent that such
information is available or reasonably attainable, as the Depositor may
determine in good faith is necessary to comply with the provisions of Regulation
AB, and (d) no amendment of this Agreement shall be required to effect any
such
changes in the parties’ obligations as are necessary to accommodate evolving
interpretations of the provisions of Regulation AB; provided, however, that
any
such changes shall require the consent of each of the parties
hereto.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor, each Servicer, the Trust Administrator and
the
Trustee have caused their names to be signed hereto by their respective officers
thereunto duly authorized, in each case as of the day and year first above
written.

thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Servicers, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicers, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the

such
consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding

acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of

The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Servicers, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicers, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any
such
consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding
on
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in
lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the

As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon

duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written

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

Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated
in the
Agreement to purchase from the REMIC all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of

duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized
in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in

Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates
of the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any agent
of
the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee may
treat
the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof
for
all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in the REMIC and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the REMIC
of
all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated
in the
Agreement to purchase from the REMIC all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of
the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate
Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor,
and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless

Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be

duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written

advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in the REMIC and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the REMIC
of
all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated
in the
Agreement to purchase from the REMIC all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of
the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate
Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.

in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in

No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant

as
amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer
of
this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the
Trust
Administrator shall require receipt of written certifications from the Holder
of
the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder’s
prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement
as
Exhibit F-1. None of the Depositor or the Trust Administrator is obligated
to
register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
under
the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates
without
registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of
this
Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the Depositor, the Servicers and any Sub-Servicers 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.

transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or

Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in
the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates
of the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any agent
of
the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee may
treat
the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof
for
all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in the REMIC and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the REMIC
of
all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated
in the
Agreement to purchase from the REMIC all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of
the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate
Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor,
and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trust
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be

the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices
or
agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as provided in the Agreement,
duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer
of
this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the
Trust
Administrator shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly
being
made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications
from
the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such
Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration
or
qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Servicers
in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written
certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trust Administrator is obligated
to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not
otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to
effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Servicers and any
Sub-Servicers against any liability that may result if the transfer is not
so
exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state
laws.
No
transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any Person using “Plan Assets” to acquire this Certificate shall be made except
in accordance with Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in
the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates
of the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any agent
of
the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee may
treat
the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof
for
all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I
of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of
the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate
Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of
the
Cut-off Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and
the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trust
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be
duly
executed.

consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family, fixed-rate,
first lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) formed and sold by
CITIGROUP
MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.
THIS
CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP
MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE SERVICERS, THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR, THE TRUSTEE
OR
ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING
MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED
STATES.
This
certifies that Citigroup Global Markets Inc. is the registered owner of a
Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate
by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class R Certificates
as of
the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by
all
the Class R Certificates created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust
Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor
entity under the Agreement), the Servicers, the Trust Administrator and the
Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set
forth
hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein
have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under
and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement,
to
which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, distributions 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 (a “Distribution
Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount
equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class R Certificates
on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All
distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will
be made
or caused to be made by the Trust Administrator by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in writing at least five Business
Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date
or
otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trust Administrator of the pendency
of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the
office or agency appointed by the Trust Administrator for that purpose as
provided in the Agreement.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face
hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest
in the Class of Certificates equal to the denomination specified on the face
hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
of
Certificates specified on the face hereof.
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to
time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Servicers, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicers, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any
such
consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding
on
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in
lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
Any
resale, transfer or other disposition of this certificate may be made only
in
accordance with the provisions of section 5.02 of the agreement referred
to
herein.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices
or
agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as provided in the Agreement,
duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in
the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates
of the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer
of
this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the
Trust
Administrator shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly
being
made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications
from
the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such
Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration
or
qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Servicers
in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written
certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trust Administrator is obligated
to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not
otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to
effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Servicers and any
Sub-Servicers against any liability that may result if the transfer is not
so
exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state
laws.
No
transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be made except
in
accordance with Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement.
Prior
to
registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate,
the
proposed transferee shall provide to the Trust Administrator (i) an affidavit
to
the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a Disqualified
Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a
Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that acknowledges that
(A) the
Class R Certificates have been designated as a residual interest in REMIC
I and
REMIC II, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of the net income
of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess inclusion,” as defined
in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by other losses
or
benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the financial
means
to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those relating to holding
the
Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate
Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate to
a
Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman)
of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be deemed to be of
no
legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be
a
Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to, the receipt
of
distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The
Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to
have
consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and to any
amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to
ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust Fund to
cease
to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I or REMIC
II.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of
Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any agent
of
the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee may
treat
the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof
for
all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the purchase by the holders of the Class X
Certificates or the Servicers of all Mortgage Loans and related REO Property
remaining in REMIC I, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property
remaining in REMIC I. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party
designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans
and
all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined
as
provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject
to
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time
of
purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor,
and
none of the Trustee, Servicers or Trust Administrator assume responsibility
for
their correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trust
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be
duly
executed.

Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage
Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any
successor entity under the Agreement), the Servicers, the Trust Administrator
and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which
is
set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms
used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate
is
issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of
the
acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, distributions 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 (a “Distribution
Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount
equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class R-X
Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All
distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made
or caused to be made by the Trust Administrator by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in writing at least five Business
Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date
or
otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trust Administrator of the pendency
of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the
office or agency appointed by the Trust Administrator for that purpose as
provided in the Agreement.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face
hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest
in the Class of Certificates equal to the denomination specified on the face
hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
of
Certificates specified on the face hereof.
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to
time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Servicers, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicers, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any
such
consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding
on
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in
lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
Any
resale, transfer or other disposition of this certificate may be made only
in
accordance with the provisions of section 5.02 of the agreement referred
to
herein.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices
or
agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as provided in the Agreement,
duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in
the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates
of the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer
of
this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the
Trust
Administrator shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly
being
made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications
from
the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such
Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration
or
qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Servicers
in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written
certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trust Administrator is obligated
to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not
otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to
effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Servicers and any
Sub-Servicers against any liability that may result if the transfer is not
so
exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state
laws.
No
transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be made except
in
accordance with Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement.
Prior
to
registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate,
the
proposed transferee shall provide to the Trust Administrator (i) an affidavit
to
the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a Disqualified
Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a
Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that acknowledges that
(A) the
Class R-X Certificates have been designated as a residual interest in REMIC
I
and REMIC II, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of the net
income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess inclusion,” as
defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by other
losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the
financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those relating
to holding the Class R-X Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in
the
Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall
be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall
not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited
to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The
Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to
have
consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and to any
amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to
ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust Fund to
cease
to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I or REMIC
II.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of
Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any agent
of
the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee may
treat
the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof
for
all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the purchase by the holders of the Class X
Certificates or the Servicers of all Mortgage Loans and related REO Property
remaining in REMIC I, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property
remaining in REMIC I. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party
designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans
and
all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined
as
provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject
to
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time
of
purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor,
and
none of the Trustee, Servicers or Trust Administrator assume responsibility
for
their correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trust
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be
duly
executed.

Agent - distributor of funds to ultimate investor (Trust Administrator performs
this function)
Trustee
-
fiduciary of the transaction
Note:
The
definitions above describe the essential function that the party performs,
rather than the party’s title. So, for example, in a particular transaction, the
trustee may perform the “paying agent” and “trust administrator” functions,
while in another transaction, the trust administrator may perform these
functions.
Where
there are multiple checks for criteria the attesting party will identify
in
their management assertion that they are attesting only to the portion of
the
distribution chain they are responsible for in the related transaction
agreements.

authorization, execution and delivery by the Purchaser, constitutes a legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against it in accordance
with its terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization;
(iii) The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller and the performance
of

instrument to which the Seller is a party or which may be applicable to
the
Seller or its assets;
(iv) The
Seller is not in violation of, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement

requirements or which would require notification to FNMA, FHLMC or
HUD;
(vi) The
Seller does not believe, nor does it have any reason or cause to believe,
that
it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in this

Mortgage Loan, the Seller is in possession of a complete Mortgage File
in
compliance with Exhibit 5, except for such documents as have been delivered
to
the Custodian;
(viii) Immediately
prior to the payment of the Purchase Price for each Mortgage Loan, the
Seller
was the owner of record of the related Mortgage and the indebtedness evidenced
by the related Mortgage Note and upon the payment of the Purchase Price
by the
Purchaser, in the event that the Seller retains record title, the Seller
shall
retain such record title to each Mortgage, each related Mortgage Note and
the
related Mortgage Files with respect thereto in trust for the Purchaser
as the
owner thereof and only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the
servicing of each Mortgage Loan;

are
no actions or proceedings against, or investigations of, the Seller before
any
court, administrative or other tribunal (A) that might prohibit its entering
into this Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the sale of the Mortgage Loans

transfer of the Mortgage Loans shall be treated as a sale on the books
and
records of the Seller, and the Seller has determined that, and will treat,
the
disposition of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement for tax and
accounting purposes as a sale. The Seller shall maintain a complete set
of books
and records for each Mortgage Loan which shall be clearly marked to reflect
the
ownership of each Mortgage Loan by the Purchaser;
(xiii) The

to the
extent the Mortgage Loan is a second lien Mortgage Loan, the related first
lien
on the Mortgaged Property; and (d) other matters to which like properties
are
commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of
the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment,
value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement,
chattel
mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection
with the

to any
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity
or
unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage
providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment.
Additionally, such lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures
ingress
and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments
by or
upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller is the
sole
insured of such lender's title insurance policy, and such lender’s title
insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force
and
effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

the Mortgage Loan is required by the holder of the first lien or such consent
has been obtained and is contained in the Mortgage File.
(xxxvi) There
are
no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor
or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise
to
such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be

interest-only Mortgage Loan during the interest-only period or a Mortgage
Loan

such
interest-only period, the remaining Monthly Payments shall be sufficient
to
fully amortize the original principal balance over the remaining term of
the
Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Balloon Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage
Note
requires a monthly payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the original
principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at
the
related Mortgage Interest Rate and requires a final Monthly Payment
substantially greater than the preceding monthly payment which is sufficient
to
repay the remained unpaid principal balance of the Balloon Mortgage Loan

underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination

payments on the Mortgage Loan;

Loan or (B) with respect to each second lien Mortgage Loan, the sum of
the
outstanding principal balance of the related first lien mortgage loan and
the
outstanding principal balance of the second lien Mortgage Loan; provided,
however, in no event shall the amount of insurance be less than the amount
necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect
to
the Mortgaged Property. All
such
insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller,
its
successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon have been
paid. If
the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Map or
Flood
Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as
having
special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available)
a flood
insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of
the
Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms to
the
requirements of FNMA and FHLMC. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder
to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the
Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain
such insurance at Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement
therefor from the Mortgagor;

all predatory and abusive lending laws applicable to the origination and
servicing of mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans have
been
complied with and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
will
not involve the violation of any such laws, and the Seller shall maintain

and
shall deliver to the Purchaser or its designee, upon two Business Days’ request,
evidence of compliance with such requirements;

Satisfaction of Mortgage.
The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded,

the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed
that
would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission
or
release;
(xii) Valid
Lien.
The
related Mortgage is properly recorded and is a valid, existing and enforceable
(A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each
Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a First Lien (as reflected
on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second lien and second priority
security
interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller
to
be a Second Lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either
case,
on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged
Property
subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments
not
yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights
of way,
easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording
being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically
referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator
of the Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value

Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage
Loan
(as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) a First Lien on the Mortgaged
Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document

and
creates a valid, existing and enforceable (A) first lien and first priority
security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated
by the
Seller to be a First Lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule)
or (B)
second lien and second priority security interest with respect to each
Mortgage
Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan
(as
reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, on the property
described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the
same to
the Purchaser. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination
of
the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure
debt or

to
this Agreement free and clear of any encumbrance or right of others, equity,
lien, pledge, charge, mortgage, claim, participation interest or security
interest of any nature (collectively, a “Lien”); and immediately upon the
transfers and assignments herein contemplated, the Seller or Conduit Seller
shall have transferred and sold all of its right, title and interest in

form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1), issued by a title insurer acceptable to FNMA
and FHLMC
and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property
is
located, insuring the Seller, its successors and assigns as to the first
or
second, as applicable, priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal
amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to an Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability
of the
lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment
in
the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. The Seller is the sole
insured
of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance
policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect

the
expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration thereunder (except with respect to a
Mortgage
Loan which has not made the Monthly Payment due prior to the related Closing
Date which may become delinquent), and either (A) the First Lien mortgage

the
extension of credit was received by the related lender or (b) the Mortgage
Loan
is an “open-end home loan” (as such term is used in the Massachusetts House Xxxx
4880 (2004)) and the related Mortgage Note provides that the related Mortgage
Interest Rate may not exceed at any time the Prime rate index as published
in
The Wall Street Journal plus a margin of one percent, or (2) such Mortgage
Loan
is in the "borrower's interest," as documented by a "borrower's interest
worksheet" for the particular Mortgage Loan, which worksheet incorporates
the
factors set forth in Massachusetts House Xxxx 4880 (2004) and the regulations
promulgated thereunder for determining "borrower's interest," and otherwise
complies in all material respects with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts;
(lxi) Broker
Fees.
The
Mortgagor has not made or caused to be made any payment in the nature of
an
“average” or “yield spread premium” to a mortgage broker or a like Person which
has not been fully disclosed to the Mortgagor;
(lxii) Acceptable
Investment.
The
Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or condition with respect
to the
Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit
standing that can reasonably be expected to cause the Mortgage Loan to
become
delinquent, cause the Mortgage Loan to not be paid in full when due, or
adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loan;
(lxiii) No
Notification of Prepayments in Full.
The
Mortgage Loan was not prepaid in full prior to the Closing Date and the
Seller
has not received notification from a Mortgagor that a prepayment in full
shall
be made after the Closing Date;
(lxiv) Limitation
on number of Mortgage Notes per Borrower.
No
Mortgagor is the obligor on more than two Mortgage Notes;
(lxv) Prepayment
Charges.
With
respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition
of
a Prepayment Charge upon a Principal Prepayment prior to maturity: (i)
prior to
the Mortgage Loan’s origination, the Mortgagor agreed to such Prepayment Charge
in exchange for a monetary benefit, including but not limited to a Mortgage
Interest Rate or fee reduction, (ii) prior to the Mortgage Loan’s origination,
the Mortgagor was offered the option of obtaining a Mortgage Loan that
did not
require payment of a Prepayment Charge, (iii) the Prepayment Charge is
disclosed
to the Mortgagor in the Mortgage Loan Documents pursuant to applicable
state and
federal law, (iv)
except
as
otherwise disclosed to the Purchaser prior to the Closing Date, for
Mortgage Loans originated on or after September 1, 2004, the duration of
the
prepayment period shall not exceed three (3) years from the date of the
Mortgage
Note, unless the Mortgage Loan was modified to reduce the prepayment period
to
no more than three years from the date of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgagor
was notified in writing of such reduction in the prepayment period, (v)
no
Mortgage Loan originated prior to October 1, 2002 has a Prepayment Charge
longer
than five years
and
(vi)
notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, the Seller shall
not
impose such Prepayment Charge in any instance when the Mortgage debt is
accelerated as the result of the Mortgagor’s default in making the Monthly
Payments;
Each
Prepayment Charge is permissible, collectable and enforceable;
(lxvi) No
Predatory Lending.
No
predatory, abusive or deceptive lending practices, including but not limited
to,
the extension of credit to a Mortgagor without regard for the Mortgagor’s
ability to repay the Mortgage Loan and the extension of credit to a Mortgagor
which has no tangible net benefit to the Mortgagor, were employed in connection
with the origination of the Mortgage Loan.
Each
Mortgage Loan is in compliance with the anti-predatory lending eligibility
for
purchase requirements of FNMA’s Selling Guide. No Mortgagor was encouraged or
required to select a Mortgage Loan product offered by the Mortgage Loan’s
originator which is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy
borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan’s origination, such Mortgagor
did not qualify taking into account credit history and debt to income ratios
for
a lower cost credit product then offered by the Mortgage Loan’s originator or
any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator. If, at the time of the related
loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for a lower cost credit
product then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate of the Mortgage
Loan’s
originator, the Mortgage Loan’s originator referred the Mortgagor’s application
to such affiliate for underwriting consideration;
(lxvii) Underwriting
Methodology.
The
methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage
Loan
employs objective mathematical principles which relate the Mortgagor’s income,
assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting methodology
does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the
principal determining factor in approving such credit extension. Such
underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination
(application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to make timely
payments on the Mortgage Loan;
(lxviii) Points
and Fees Disclosed.
All
points, fees and charges, including finance charges (whether or not financed,
assessed, collected or to be collected), in connection with the origination
and
servicing of each Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing to the related
Mortgagor in accordance with applicable state and federal law and
regulation.
Except
in the case of a Mortgage Loan in an original principal amount of less
than
$60,000 which would have resulted in an unprofitable origination, no related
Mortgagor was charged “points and fees” (whether or not financed) in an amount
greater than 5% of the principal amount of such loan, such 5% limitation
is
calculated in accordance with FNMA’s anti-predatory lending requirements as set
forth in the FNMA Selling Guide;
(lxix) Full
File Credit Reporting (FNMA).
The
Seller will transmit full-file credit reporting data for each Mortgage
Loan
pursuant to Xxxxxx Mae Guide Announcement 95-19 and for each Mortgage Loan,
Seller agrees it shall report one of the following statuses each month
as
follows: new origination, current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.),
foreclosed, or charged-off;
(lxx) No
Credit Life Policies.
No
Mortgagor was required to purchase any credit life, disability, accident
or
health insurance product or debt cancellation agreement as a condition
of
obtaining the extension of credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single
premium credit life, disability, accident or health insurance policy in
connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, and no proceeds from
any
Mortgage Loan were used to finance single-premium credit insurance policies
or
debt cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition
to
closing, such Mortgage Loan;
(lxxi) Full
File Credit Reporting (Past Practice; Future Practice).
The
Seller and any predecessor servicer has fully furnished, in accordance
with the
Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and
complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower
credit
files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company (three
of
the credit repositories) on a monthly basis; and the Seller will fully
furnish,
in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing
regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable)
on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Credit Information
Company (three of the credit repositories), on a monthly basis; and
(lxxii) Arbitration.
In the
event that market conditions require the sale of Mortgage Loans and/or
an
interest in the Mortgage Loans to FNMA or FHLMC or pursuant to a request
from an
investor of Purchaser, upon the prior notice to Seller up to the Reconstitution
Date, Seller agrees that it will consent to the waiver of any arbitration
provision between it and the Mortgagor and will promptly deliver to the
Mortgagor written notice of such waiver.

(i) The
information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete,
true
and correct;
(ii) The
Mortgage Loan is in compliance with all requirements set forth in the
related
Confirmation; provided, however, that in the event of any conflict between
the
terms (i.e. terms contradict each other as opposed to containing additional
non-contradictory terms) of any Confirmation and this agreement, the
terms of
this agreement shall control;
(iii) All
payments due prior to the Cut-Off Date for such Mortgage Loan under the
terms of
the Mortgage Note (other
than payments not yet 30 days delinquent) have
been
made; the Company has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly
received any advance of funds from a party other than a Mortgagor of
the related
Mortgaged Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount
required by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage; and there has been no delinquency
(other than payments less than 30 days delinquent), exclusive of any
period of
grace, in any payment by the Mortgagor thereunder since the origination
of the
Mortgage Loan;
(iv) There
are
no delinquent taxes, insurance premiums or any other assessments that
could
jeopardize the lien position of the Mortgage Loan, including assessments
payable
in future installments or other outstanding charges affecting the related
Mortgaged Property;
(v) The
terms
of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived,
altered or
modified in any respect, except by written instruments, recorded in the
applicable public recording office if necessary to maintain the lien
priority of
the Mortgage, and which have been delivered in accordance with Section
6.03 to
the Custodian; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification
has
been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by the related
policy, and is reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. No instrument
of
waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor

released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption
agreement
approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy,
and which
assumption agreement has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms
of which
are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(vi) The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or valid defense, including the defense of usury,
nor will
the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage,
or the
exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable,
in whole or
in part, or subject to any such 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;
(vii) All
buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable
to
FNMA and FHLMC against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and
such other
hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is
located,
pursuant to insurance policies providing coverage in
an
amount, except where limited by applicable law to a lesser amount, not
less than
the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements
to the
Mortgaged Property, (ii) either (A) the outstanding principal balance
of the

respect
to each second lien Mortgage Loan, the sum of the outstanding principal
balance

of the
second lien Mortgage Loan, (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation
of
any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and
consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date

that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis. All such
insurance
policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Company, its
successors

been
paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood Hazard
Map
or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency as
having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made
available)
a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines
of
the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms
to the
requirements of FNMA and FHLMC. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder
to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and
on the
Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to
maintain
such insurance at Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement
therefor from the Mortgagor;

and
all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without

servicing of mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans have
been
complied with in all material respects;
(ix) The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded,
in whole
or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the
lien of
the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed
that
would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission
or
release;
(x) The
Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable (subject to principles
of equity,
bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting
the
rights of creditors) (A)
first
lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage
Loan
which is indicated by the Company to be a first lien (as reflected on
the
Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second lien and second priority security
interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the
Company to
be a second lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either
case,
on the
Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property
subject
only to (a) the lien of current, non-delinquent real property taxes and
assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions,
rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of
the date
of recording being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally
and
specifically referred to in the lender's title insurance policy delivered
to the
originator of the Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the
Appraised
Value of the Mortgaged Property, (c) with
respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Company to be
a second
lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) a first
lien on
the Mortgaged Property; and (d) other matters to which like properties
are
commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits
of the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment,
value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement,
chattel
mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection
with the
Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable
first or
second lien and first or second priority security interest (in
each
case, as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) the property described
therein
and the Company has full right to sell and assign the same to the
Purchaser;
(xi) The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal,
valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance
with its
terms, subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other
laws of
general application affecting the rights of creditors and except that
the remedy
of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief
may
be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before
which
any proceeding therefore may be brought;
(xii) All
parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to enter
into
the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage,
and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed
by
such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person;
(xiii) The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the
account of
the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance
additional
funds thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any
on-site or
off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor
have
been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or
closing
the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and
the
Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to
the
Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(xiv) The
Seller identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is the sole legal,
beneficial and equitable owner of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage
and has
full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free
and
clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security
interest;
(xv) All
parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as
mortgagee,
assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they
held
and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any and all applicable
“doing business” and licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the
Mortgaged Property is located;
(xvi) The
Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (which, in
the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan has an adjustable rate mortgage
endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1) acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC,
issued
by a title insurer acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC and qualified to do business
in
the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject
to
the exceptions contained in (x)(a) and (b), and with respect to any second
lien
Mortgage Loan (c), above) the Company, its successors and assigns as
to the
first or second priority lien
(as
indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) of the Mortgage in the original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to any Adjustable
Rate
Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability
of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for
adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally,
such
lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress
to and
from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or upon the
Mortgaged
Property or any interest therein. The Company and its successors and
assigns are
the sole named insured of such lender's title insurance policy, and such
lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full
force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this
Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance
policy,
and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Company, has
done, by
act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's
title
insurance policy;
(xvii) There
is
no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under

time or
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and the Company
has not
waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. With
respect to
each second lien Mortgage Loan (i) the related first lien mortgage loan
is in
full force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or
event of
acceleration existing under such first lien mortgage or the related mortgage
note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and
the
expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration thereunder, and either (A) the first
lien
mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires,
the
mortgagee under the second lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and
affords
such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full
or
otherwise under the first lien mortgage;
(xviii) There
are
no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work,
labor
or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give
rise to
such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may
be liens
prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related
Mortgage;
(xix) All
improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value
of the
related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property;
(xx) The
Mortgage Loan was originated or acquired by the Company or by a savings
and loan
association, a savings bank, a commercial bank or similar banking institution
which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority, or
by a
mortgagee approved as such by the Secretary of HUD;
(xxi) Principal
payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty days after
the
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan bears
interest
at the Mortgage Interest Rate set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

related
Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first day
of each
month in Monthly Payments, which, in the case of a Fixed Rate Mortgage
Loans,
are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over
the
original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan identified
on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan
during the
interest-only period) and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest
Rate,
and, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, are changed on
each
Adjustment Date, and in any case, are sufficient to fully amortize the
original
principal balance over the original term thereof (other than with respect
to a
Mortgage Loan identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an
interest-only Mortgage Loan during the interest-only period) and to pay
interest
at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Mortgage
Loan
identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage
Loan, the
interest-only period shall not exceed five (5) years (or such other period
specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) and following the expiration
of such
interest-only period, the remaining Monthly Payments shall be sufficient
to
fully amortize the original principal balance over the remaining term
of the
Mortgage Loan. The Index for each Adjustable Rate, Mortgage Loan is as
defined
in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Mortgage Note does not permit
negative amortization. No Mortgage Loan is a Convertible Mortgage
Loan;
(xxii) The
origination and collection practices used by the Company with respect
to each
Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all respects legal, proper, prudent
and
customary as used by institutions in the mortgage origination and servicing

the
possession of, or under the control of, the Company and there exist no
deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements
for
repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments
or
other charges or payments due the Company have been capitalized under
any
Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no such escrow deposits or
Escrow

which has not been completed;
(xxiii) The
Mortgaged Property is free of damage and waste and there is no proceeding
pending for the total or partial condemnation thereof;

as a deed
of trust, by trustee's sale, and (b) otherwise by judicial foreclosure.
The
Mortgaged Property is not subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure
proceeding and the Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy. There is no homestead

other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with
the right
to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose
the

has no
knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the
Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act;

Loan
and who met the minimum qualifications of FNMA and FHLMC. Each appraisal

under
applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently
so
serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will
become
payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except
in
connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;

purchase the property in question, and maintains, and will maintain,
sufficient
information to identify the applicable Mortgagor for purposes of the
Anti-Money
Laundering Laws. No Mortgage Loan is subject to nullification pursuant
to

the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department
of the

securing
the Mortgage Loan is not, nor will be, occupied by the Mortgagor as the
Mortgagor’s principal dwelling. No Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost Home Loan” as
defined in the Georgia Fair Lending Act, as amended (the “Georgia Act”). Each
Mortgage Loan that is a “Home Loan” under the Georgia Act complies with all

history
and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then offered
by the
Mortgage Loan's originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan's originator.

consideration;
(lxii) The
methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage
Loan
employs objective mathematical principles which relate the Mortgagor's
income,
assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting

principal determining factor in approving such credit extension. Such
underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination
(application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to make
timely
payments on the Mortgage Loan;

by the
Purchaser or the Trustee, and their respective designees, upon reasonable
notice
to the Seller during normal business hours before the Closing Date and
within 60
days after the Closing Date. If any such person makes such examination
prior to
the Closing Date and identifies any Mortgage Loans that do not conform
to the
requirements of the Purchaser as described in this Agreement, such Mortgage
Loans shall be deleted from the Closing Schedule. The Purchaser may, at
its
option and without notice to the Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage
Loans without conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact
that the
Purchaser or any person has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial
or
complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the rights
of the
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser to demand
repurchase or other relief as provided herein or under the Pooling and
Servicing
Agreement.

SECTION 6. |
Repurchase
Obligation for Defective Documentation and for Breach of Representation
and Warranty.
|
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth
in
Section 5 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser
and
shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser and any assignee, transferee
or
designee of the Purchaser, including the Trustee for the benefit of holders
of
the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates evidencing an interest in all or
a
portion of the Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified
endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination or lack
of
examination of any Mortgage File. With respect to the representations and
warranties contained herein that are made to the knowledge or the best
knowledge
of the Seller, or as to which the Seller has no knowledge, if it is discovered
that the substance of any such representation and warranty is inaccurate
and the
inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage
Loan, or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee,
designee or transferee, then notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with
respect to the substance of such representation and warranty being inaccurate
at
the time the representation and warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall
be
deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty and the Seller
shall take such action described in the following paragraphs of this Section
6
in respect of such Mortgage Loan. Upon discovery by either the Seller or
the
Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties
made by the Seller that materially and adversely affects the value of the
Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser (or which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage
Loan in
the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage
Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
to the
other.
Within
90
days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any
breach
of a representation or warranty made by the Seller that materially and
adversely
affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans or the interest
therein of the Purchaser, the Seller shall use its best efforts promptly
to cure
such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured,
the
Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the
Purchase Price. The Seller may, at the request of the Purchaser and assuming
the
Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase
a
deficient Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan and
substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans.
If the
Seller does not provide a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans,
it shall
repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan(s)
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 shall occur on a
date
designated by the Purchaser and shall be accomplished by deposit in accordance
with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase
or
substitution required by this Section shall be made in a manner consistent
with
Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
At
the
time of substitution or repurchase by the Seller of any deficient Mortgage
Loan,
the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the
repurchased or substituted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery
to the
Seller of any documents held by the Trustee relating to the deficient or
repurchased Mortgage Loan. In the event the Purchase Price is deposited
in the
Collection Account. The Seller shall, simultaneously with such deposit,
give
written notice to the Purchaser that such deposit has taken place. Upon
such
repurchase, the Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be amended to reflect the
withdrawal of the repurchased Mortgage Loan from this Agreement.
As
to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering
to the Purchaser or its designee for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or
Loans the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment and such other documents
and agreements as are required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
with the
Mortgage Note endorsed as required therein. The Seller shall remit for
deposit
in the Collection Account the Monthly Payment due on such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution.
Monthly payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
in the
month of substitution will be retained by the Seller. For the month of
substitution, distributions to the Purchaser will include the Monthly Payment
due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the
Seller
shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received
by the
Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution,
the
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made
with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans as of the date
of
substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in
Section
5.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth
in
Section 5 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the
Trustee
on behalf of the Purchaser.
It
is
understood and agreed that (i) the obligations of the Seller set forth
in this
Section 6 to cure, repurchase and substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan
and
(ii) the obligations of the Seller as provided in the next sentence constitute
the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a missing or defective document
or
a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.
The
Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and
related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any
claim,
demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from,
a
breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5(a),
(c),
(d) and (e) this Agreement.

SECTION
11. Mandatory
Delivery; Grant of Security Interest.
The
sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on
the
Mortgage Loan Schedule in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically understood and agreed that each
Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an
award of
money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the
losses
and damages incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the Seller’s failure to
deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date. The Seller hereby
grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in
the
Seller’s interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument
evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller
of
its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage
Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject to the Purchaser’s (i) right, prior
to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent permitted
by this
Agreement and (ii) obligation to deliver or cause to be delivered the
consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 7 hereof. Any
Mortgage
Loans rejected by the Purchaser shall concurrently therewith be released
from
the security interest created hereby. The Seller agrees that, upon acceptance
of
the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser or its designee and delivery of payment
to
the Seller, that its security interest in the Mortgage Loans shall be released.
All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct
from,
and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement
or
afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised
concurrently, independently or successively.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of the conditions set forth
in
Section 7 hereof shall have been satisfied and the Purchaser shall not
have paid
or caused to be paid the Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, or any such condition
shall not have been waived or satisfied and the Purchaser determines not
to pay
or cause to be paid the Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall
immediately effect the redelivery of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to
the
Purchaser has occurred and the security interest created by this Section
11
shall be deemed to have been released.
SECTION
12. Notices.
All
demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be
deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered to or mailed by
registered mail, postage prepaid, or transmitted by telex or telegraph
and
confirmed by a similar mailed writing, if to the Purchaser, addressed to
the
Purchaser at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000,
Attention: Mortgage Finance Group, or such other address as may hereafter
be
furnished to the Seller in writing by the Purchaser, and if to the Seller,
addressed to the Seller at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx
Xxxx
00000, Attention: Mortgage Finance Group, or such other address as may
hereafter
be furnished to the Purchaser in writing by the Seller.
SECTION
13. Severability
of Provisions.
Any
part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is
prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective
to
the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating
the
remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty
of
this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void
or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating
the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability
in any
jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which
prohibits
or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.
SECTION
14. Agreement
of Parties.
The
Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such instruments
and
take such actions as either of the others may, from time to time, reasonably
request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of
this
Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION
15. Survival.
The
Seller agrees that the representations, warranties and agreements made
by it
herein and in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto
shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Purchaser, notwithstanding any
investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Purchaser or on its behalf,
and that the representations, warranties and agreements made by the Seller
herein or in any such certificate or other instrument shall survive the
delivery
of and payment for the Mortgage Loans and shall continue in full force
and
effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the
Mortgage
Notes and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this Agreement, the
Pooling
and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.
SECTION
16. GOVERNING
LAW.
THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE
PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS
(INCLUDING THE CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS) AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK.
THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE
NEW YORK
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION
17. Miscellaneous.
This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when
so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together
shall
constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements
and
understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement
nor
any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally,
but
only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement
of
the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The headings in
this
Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise
affect the meaning hereof.
It
is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage
Loans
by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 4 hereof be, and
be
construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser
and
not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to
secure a
debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage
Loans are
held to be property of the Seller, then, (a) it is the express intent of
the
parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by
the
Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller
and
(b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement
within
the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code;
(2) the
conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant
by the
Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Seller’s right,
title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable
to the
holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and
all
proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing
into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or
invested
in the Collection Account whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities
or other property; (3) the possession by the Purchaser or its agent of
Mortgage
Notes, the related Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute
instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed
to be
“possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code;
and
(4) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments,
receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be
deemed
notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial
intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for
the
purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any
assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof
shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created
hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser 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 Mortgage Loans,
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 this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION
18. Indemnification.
The
Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless each of (i) the Purchaser, (ii)
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and (iii) each person, if any, who controls
the
Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “1933 Act”) ((i) through (iii) collectively, the “Indemnified
Party”) against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities
to
which the Indemnified Party may become subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions
in
respect thereof) arise out of, are based upon, or result from, a breach
by the
Seller of any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller
herein,
it being understood that the Purchaser has relied upon such representations
and
warranties.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Purchaser and the Seller have caused their names to
be
signed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the
date
first above written.

Representation
and Warranties with Respect to the MortgageIT Mortgage Loans
Except
for “Mortgage Loans”, which shall mean the MortgageIT Mortgage Loans sold by the
Seller to the Purchaser, all capitalized terms in this Exhibit A shall
have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Countrywide Servicing Agreement.
(i) The
information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete,
true
and correct;
(ii) The
Mortgage Loan is in compliance with all requirements set forth in the related
Confirmation, and the characteristics of the related Mortgage Loan Package
as
set forth in the related Confirmation are true and correct;
(iii)
All
payments required to be made up to the close of business on the Closing
Date for
such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made.
The
Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received
any
advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged
Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required
by the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage; and there has been no delinquency, exclusive
of any
period of grace, in any payment by the Mortgagor thereunder since the
origination of the Mortgage Loan;
(iv)
There
are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments,
insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including assessments payable in
future
installments or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged
Property;
(v)
The
terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived,
altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments, recorded
in
the applicable public recording office or registered with the MERS System
if
necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have
been
delivered to the Purchaser or its designee; the substance of any such waiver,
alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the
extent
required by the related policy, and is reflected on the related Mortgage
Loan
Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been
executed,
and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection
with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent
required by the policy, and which assumption agreement has been delivered
to the
Purchaser or its designee and the terms of which are reflected in the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(vi)
The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will
the
operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or
the
exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in
whole or
in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
defense, including the defense of usury and no such right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.
Each
Prepayment Charge or penalty with respect to any Mortgage Loan is permissible,
enforceable and collectible under applicable federal, state and local
law;
(vii) All
buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable
to
FNMA and FHLMC against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such
other
hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located,
pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of FNMA and
FHLMC.
All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming
the
Seller, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon
have
been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood
Hazard
Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been
made
available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current
guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which policy
conforms to the requirements of FNMA and FHLMC. The Mortgage obligates
the
Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and
expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the
Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;
(viii) Any
and
all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without
limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures,
predatory and abusive lending, consumer credit protection, equal credit
opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the origination
and
servicing of mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans have
been
complied with;
(ix)
The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded,
in whole
or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of
the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed
that
would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission
or
release;
(x) The
Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first or second (as indicated
on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule) lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all
improvements on the Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of
current
real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters
of the
public record as of the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage
lending
institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and which
do
not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, (c)
to the
extent the Mortgage Loan is a second lien Mortgage Loan, the related first
lien
on the Mortgaged Property; and (d) other matters to which like properties
are
commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of
the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment,
value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement,
chattel
mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection
with the
Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable
first or
second (as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) lien and first or second
(as
indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) priority security interest on
the
property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign
the
same to the Purchaser. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of
origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust,
deed to
secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to
the lien
of the Mortgage;
(xi) The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal,
valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance
with its
terms except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy;
(xii) All
parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to enter
into
the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage,
and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed
by
such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person;
(xiii) The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account
of
the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance additional
funds thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site
or
off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor
have
been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or
closing
the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and
the
Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the
Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(xiv) The
Seller is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of the Mortgage
Note
and the Mortgage and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan
to
the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge,
charge,
claim or security interest;
(xv) All
parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee,
assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they
held
and disposed of such interest, were) in material compliance with any and
all
applicable “doing business” and licensing requirements of the laws of the state
wherein the Mortgaged Property is located (or were otherwise exempt from
such
requirements under applicable law);
(xvi) The
Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) lender’s
title insurance policy (which, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loan
has an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or
6.1)
acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC, issued by a title insurer acceptable to FNMA
and
FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (x)(a)
and
(b) above) the Seller, its successors and assigns as to the first or second
(as
indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) priority lien of the Mortgage
in the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to any
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity
or
unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage
providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment.
Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress
and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments
by or
upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller is the
sole
insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title
insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force
and
effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no
prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by
act or
omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title
insurance policy;
(xvii) There
is
no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the
Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time
or
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and the Seller has
not
waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. With respect
to
each second lien mortgage loan (i) the first lien mortgage loan is in full
force
and effect, (ii) to the best of Seller’s knowledge, there is no default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration existing under such first lien mortgage
or
the related mortgage note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of time
or
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder, and either
(A)
the first lien mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable
law
requires, the mortgagee under the second lien Mortgage Loan to receive
notice
of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment
in
full or otherwise under the first lien mortgage;
(xviii) There
are
no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor
or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise
to
such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be
liens
prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related
Mortgage;
(xix) All
improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of
the
related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property;
(xx) As
of the
origination of the Mortgage Loan, no improvement located on the Mortgaged
Property was in violation of any applicable zoning or subdivision laws
or
ordinances;
(xxi) The
Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller or by a savings and loan association,
a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar
banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state
authority, or by a mortgagee approved as such by the Secretary of HUD pursuant
to Section 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act;
(xxii) Principal
payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty days after the
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan bears interest
at the Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgage
Note is payable on the first day of each month in Monthly Payments, which,
other
than with respect to a Balloon Mortgage Loan, in the case of a Fixed Rate
Mortgage Loans, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal
balance
over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage
Interest Rate, and, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, are
changed
on each Adjustment Date, and in any case, are sufficient to fully amortize
the
original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest
at
the related Mortgage Interest Rate. The Index for each Adjustable Rate
Mortgage
Loan is as defined in the related Confirmation. With respect to each Balloon
Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient
to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term
thereof
and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate and requires
a final
Monthly Payment substantially greater than the preceding monthly payment
which
is sufficient to repay the remained unpaid principal balance of the Balloon
Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date of such monthly payment. The Mortgage
Note does
not permit negative amortization. No Mortgage Loan is a Convertible Mortgage
Loan;
(xxiii) The
origination and collection practices used by the Seller with respect to
each
Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all respects legal, proper, prudent
and
customary in the mortgage origination and servicing industry. The Mortgage
Loan
has been serviced by the Seller and any predecessor servicer in accordance
with
the terms of the Mortgage Note. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow
Payments, if any, all such payments are in the possession of, or under
the
control of, the Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith
for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made.
No
escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the
Seller
have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and
no
such escrow deposits or Escrow Payments are being held by the Seller for
any
work on a Mortgaged Property which has not been completed;
(xxiv) The
Mortgaged Property is in good repair and is free of material damage and
waste
and there is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation
thereof;
(xxv) The
Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions
such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate
for the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security
provided thereby, including, (a) in the case of a Mortgage designated as
a deed
of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (b) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. The
Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or
foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection under
applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other exemption available
to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged
Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. The
Mortgagor has not notified the Seller and the Seller has no knowledge of
any
relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers’ Civil
Relief Act;
(xxvi) The
Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the underwriting standards
of
the Seller in effect at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated, which
underwriting standards satisfy the standards of FNMA and FHLMC; and the
Mortgage
Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC;
(xxvii) The
Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except
the lien
of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property and the security
interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred
to in
(x) above;
(xxviii) The
Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property which
satisfied the standards of FNMA and FHLMC, was on appraisal form 1004 or
form
2055 with an interior inspection, and was made and signed, prior to the
approval
of the Mortgage Loan application, by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed
by
the Seller, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property
or
in any loan made on the security thereof, whose compensation is not affected
by
the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan and who met the minimum
qualifications of FNMA and FHLMC. Each appraisal of the Mortgage Loan was
made
in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Financial Institutions
Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989;
(xxix) In
the
event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified
under
applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently
so
serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will
become
payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except
in
connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(xxx) No
Mortgage Loan contains provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are
(a)
paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established
by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, (b)
paid by
any source other than the Mortgagor or (c) contains any other similar provisions
which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated
payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation
or other contingent interest feature;
(xxxi) The
Mortgagor has executed a statement to the effect that the Mortgagor has
received
all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the
making
of fixed rate mortgage loans in the case of Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans,
and
adjustable rate mortgage loans in the case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loans and
rescission materials with respect to Refinanced Mortgage Loans, and such
statement is and will remain in the Mortgage File;
(xxxii) No
Mortgage Loan was made in connection with (a) the construction or rehabilitation
of a Mortgaged Property or (b) facilitating the trade-in or exchange of
a
Mortgaged Property;
(xxxiii) The
Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or condition with respect
to the
Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit
standing that can reasonably be expected to cause the Mortgage Loan to
be an
unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent,
or
adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loan;
(xxxiv) No
Mortgage Loan had an LTV or a CLTV at origination in excess of 100%. Each
Mortgage Loan with an LTV or CLTV at origination in excess of 80% is and
will be
subject to a Primary Insurance Policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, which
insures that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of the portion of the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property required by FNMA. All provisions
of
such Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such
policy
is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been
paid. Any
Mortgage subject to any such Primary Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges
in
connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan
does not
include any such insurance premium;
(xxxv) The
Mortgaged Property is, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, lawfully occupied
under applicable law; all inspections, licenses and certificates required
to be
made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property
and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not
limited to certificates of occupancy, have been made or obtained from the
appropriate authorities;
(xxxvi) No
error,
omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or similar occurrence with
respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Mortgagor,
the
Seller, or to the best of Seller’s knowledge, any appraiser, any builder or
developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage
Loan
or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage
Loan;
(xxxvii) For
each
Mortgage Loan that is not a MOM Loan, the Assignment of Mortgage is in
recordable form except for the name of the assignee that is blank and is
acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the
Mortgaged Property is located. The original Mortgage was or is being recorded
and, unless the Mortgage Loan is subject to the MERS System, all subsequent
assignments of the original Mortgage (other than the assignment to Purchaser)
have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdiction wherein such recordation
is
necessary to perfect the lien thereof against creditors of Seller, or is
in the
process of being recorded.
(xxxviii) Any
principal advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the Cut-off Date have
been
consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage,
and
the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest
rate and
single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated
principal amount is expressly insured as having first or second lien priority
by
a title insurance policy or an endorsement to the policy insuring the
mortgagee’s consolidated interest. The consolidated principal amount does not
exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;
(xxxix) Unless
otherwise set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, no Mortgage
Loan has
a balloon payment feature;
(xl)
If the
Residential Dwelling on the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or
a unit
in a planned unit development (other than a de minimis planned unit development)

requirements of FNMA and FHLMC;
(xli) The

asbestos, and neither the Seller nor, to the Seller’s knowledge, the related
Mortgagor, has received any notice of any violation or potential violation
of
such law;
(xliv) Seller
shall, at its own expense, cause each Mortgage Loan to be covered by a
Tax
Service Contract which is assignable to the Purchaser or its designee;
provided
however, that if the Seller fails to purchase such Tax Service Contract,
the
Seller shall be required to reimburse the Purchaser for all costs and expenses
incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the purchase of any such Tax
Service Contract;
(xlv) Each
Mortgage Loan is covered by a Flood Zone Service Contract which is assignable
to
the Purchaser or its designee or, for each Mortgage Loan not covered by
such
Flood Zone Service Contract, the Seller agrees to purchase such Flood Zone
Service Contract;
(xlvi) No
Mortgage Loan is (a) subject to the provisions of the Homeownership and
Equity
Protection Act of 1994 as amended (“HOEPA”), (b) a “high cost” mortgage loan,
“covered” mortgage loan, “high risk home” mortgage loan or “predatory” mortgage
loan or any other comparable term, no matter how defined under any federal,
state or local law, (c) subject to any comparable federal, state or local
statutes or regulations, or any other statute or regulation providing for
heightened regulatory scrutiny or assignee liability to holders of such
mortgage
loans, or (d) a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable (as such
terms are
defined in the current Standard & Poor’s LEVELS® Glossary Revised, Appendix
E);
(xlvii) No
predatory or deceptive lending practices, including but not limited to,
the
extension of credit to a mortgagor without regard for the mortgagor’s ability to
repay the Mortgage Loan and the extension of credit to a mortgagor which
has no
apparent benefit to the mortgagor, were employed in connection with the
origination of the Mortgage Loan. Each Mortgage Loan is in compliance with
the
anti-predatory lending eligibility for purchase requirements of the FNMA
Guides;
(xlviii) Not
more
than one percent (1%) of the Mortgage Loans purchased on the related Closing
Date, measured by the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage
Loans
as of the related Cut-off Date, include a Mortgage Note for which a lost
note
affidavit with indemnification has been delivered;
(xlix) No
Mortgagor was required to purchase any single premium credit insurance
policy
(e.g., life, disability, accident, unemployment, or health insurance product)
or
debt cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of
credit.
No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single premium credit insurance policy
(e.g.,
life, disability, accident, unemployment, mortgage, or health insurance)
in
connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. No proceeds from
any
Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single premium credit insurance policies
or
debt cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition
to
closing, such Mortgage Loan;
(l) The
Mortgage Loans were not selected from the outstanding one to four-family
mortgage loans in the Seller’s portfolio at the related Closing Date as to which
the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement could be
made in
a manner so as to affect adversely the interests of the Purchaser;

The
Mortgage Loan complies with all applicable consumer credit statutes and

Seller
has not received notification from a Mortgagor that a prepayment in full
shall
be made after the Closing Date;
(lv) No
Mortgage Loan is secured by cooperative housing, commercial property, mobile
homes, manufactured housing or mixed use property;
(lvi) Except
as
set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, none of the Mortgage Loans
are
subject to a Prepayment Charge. For any Mortgage Loan originated prior
to
October 1, 2002 that is subject to a Prepayment Charge, such Prepayment
Charge
does not extend beyond five years after the date of origination. For any
Mortgage Loan originated on or following October 1, 2002 that is subject
to a
Prepayment Charge, such Prepayment Charge does not extend beyond three
years
after the date of origination. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains
a
provision permitting imposition of a Prepayment Charge upon a prepayment

to such Prepayment Charge in exchange for a monetary benefit, including

applicable state and federal law, (iv) for Mortgage Loans originated on

date of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgagor was notified in writing of
such
reduction in prepayment period, and (v) notwithstanding any state or federal
law
to the contrary, the Seller shall not impose such Prepayment Charge in
any
instance when the mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of the Mortgagor’s
default in making the loan payments;
(lvii) The
Seller has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and
regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001
(collectively, the “Anti-Money Laundering Laws”); the Seller has established an
anti-money laundering compliance program as required by the Anti-Money
Laundering Laws, has conducted the requisite due diligence in connection
with
the origination of each Mortgage Loan for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering
Laws, including with respect to the legitimacy of the applicable Mortgagor
and
the origin of the assets used by the said Mortgagor to purchase the property
in
question, and maintains, and will maintain, sufficient information to identify
the applicable Mortgagor for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws.
No
Mortgage Loan is subject to nullification pursuant to Executive Order 13224
(the
“Executive Order”) or the regulations promulgated by the Office of Foreign
Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury (the “OFAC
Regulations”) or in violation of the Executive Order or the OFAC Regulations,

Regulations;

the Mortgage Loan is not, nor will be, occupied by the Mortgagor as the
Mortgagor’s principal dwelling. No Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost Home Loan” as
defined in the Georgia Fair Lending Act, as amended (the “Georgia Act”) or the
New York Banking Law 6-1. Each Mortgage Loan that is a “Home Loan” under the
Georgia Act complies with all applicable provisions of the Georgia Act.
No
Mortgage Loan secured by owner occupied real property or an owner occupied
manufactured home located in the State of Georgia was originated (or modified)
on or after October 1, 2002 through and including March 6, 2003;
(lix) No
Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product
offered
by the Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher cost product designed for
less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan’s
origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit
history
and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then offered
by the
Mortgage Loan’s originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator.
If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for
a for
a lower cost credit product then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate
of
the Mortgage Loan’s originator, the Mortgage Loan’s originator referred the
Mortgagor’s application to such affiliate for underwriting
consideration;
(lx) The
methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage
Loan
employs objective mathematical principles which relate the Mortgagor’s income,
assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting methodology
does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the
principal determining factor in approving such credit extension. Such
underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination
(application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to make timely
payments on the Mortgage Loan;

Company, on a monthly basis;

points and fees related to each Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing
to the
related Borrower in accordance with applicable state and federal law and
regulation. Except in the case of a Mortgage Loan in an original principal
amount of less than $60,000 which would have resulted in an unprofitable
origination, no related Borrower was charged “points and fees” (whether or not
financed) in an amount greater than 5% of the principal amount of such
loan,
such 5% limitation is calculated in accordance with Xxxxxx Mae’s anti-predatory
lending requirements as set forth in the Xxxxxx Mae Selling Guide;

modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required
by
the related policy, and is reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule.
No
instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and
no
Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection
with an
assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required
by
the policy, and which assumption agreement has been delivered to the Purchaser
and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan
Schedule;
(vi) The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will
the
operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage,
or the
exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in
whole or
in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
defense, including the defense of usury and no such right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;

(viii) All
buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a Qualified Insurer
against
loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are
customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount
not
less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements
to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) either (A) the outstanding principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loan with respect to each first lien Mortgage Loan or (B)
with
respect to each second lien Mortgage Loan, the sum of the outstanding principal
balance of the related first lien mortgage loan and the outstanding principal
balance of the second lien Mortgage Loan, (iii) the amount necessary to
avoid
the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged
Property, or (iv) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage
or
loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement
cost
basis. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause
naming
the Seller, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon
have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a
Flood
Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance
has
been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements
of the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect
which
policy conforms to the requirements of FNMA and FHLMC. The Mortgage obligates
the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost
and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of
the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to
seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;
(ix) Any
and
all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without

evidence of compliance with such requirements;
(x) The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded,
in whole
or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien
of
the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed
that

or
release;
(xi) The
related Mortgage is properly recorded and is a valid, existing and enforceable
(A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each
Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a First Lien (as reflected
on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second lien and second priority
security
interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller
to

marketability of the related Mortgaged Property and (d) with respect to
each
Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage
Loan
(as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), a First Lien on the Mortgaged
Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document
related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes
and
creates a valid, existing and enforceable (A) first lien and first priority
security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated
by the
Seller to be a First Lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule)
or (B)
second lien and second priority security interest with respect to each
Mortgage
Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan
(as
reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, on the property
described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the
same to
the Purchaser. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination
of
the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure
debt or
other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the
Mortgage;
(xii) The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal,
valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance

such
enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or law);
(xiii) All
parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to enter

of
the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance additional
funds thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site

off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor
have
been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or
closing
the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and
the
Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the
Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(xv) The
Seller is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of the Mortgage
Note

and sell
the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement free and
clear of
any encumbrance or right of others, equity, lien, pledge, charge, mortgage,
claim, participation interest or security interest of any nature (collectively,
a “Lien”); and immediately upon the transfers and assignments herein
contemplated, the Seller shall have transferred and sold all of its right,
title
and interest in and to each Mortgage Loan and the Purchaser will hold good,
marketable and indefeasible title to, and be the owner of, each Mortgage
Loan
subject to no Lien;

of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan has an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement
in the form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1), issued by a title insurer acceptable to
FNMA
and FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained above
in
(xi)(a) and (b) and, with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated
by
the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage
Loan
Schedule) clause (d)) the Seller, its successors and assigns as to the
first
priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan and, with respect to any Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, against any
loss by
reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from
the
provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest
Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy
affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property,
and
against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest
therein.
The Seller is the sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such
lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full
force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this
Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy,
and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has
done, by
act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title
insurance policy;
(xviii) There
is
no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the

not
waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. With respect

of
acceleration existing under such First Lien mortgage or the related mortgage
note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and
the
expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration thereunder, and either (A) the First
Lien
mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires,
the
mortgagee under the Second Lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and
affords
such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or
otherwise under the First Lien mortgage;
(xix) There
are
no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor

Mortgage;
(xx) The

Mortgage Loan identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an
interest-only Mortgage Loan during the interest-only period) and to pay
interest
at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and (B) in the case of an Adjustable

Mortgage Loan Schedule. With respect to each Mortgage Loan identified on
the
Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan, the interest-only
period shall not exceed the period specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule
and
following the expiration of such interest-only period, the remaining Monthly
Payments shall be sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance
over the remaining term of the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Note does not

of maturity to the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan as of the fifteenth
day
of the month immediately preceding the month in which the application for
the
extension of credit was received by the related lender or (b) the Mortgage
Loan
is an “open-end home loan” (as such term is used in the Massachusetts House Xxxx
4880 (2004)) and the related Mortgage Note provides that the related Mortgage
Interest Rate may not exceed at any time the Prime Rate index as published
in
The
Wall Street Journal
plus a
margin of one percent, or (2) such Mortgage Loan is in the "borrower's
interest," as documented by a "borrower's interest worksheet" for the particular
Mortgage Loan, which worksheet incorporates the factors set forth in
Massachusetts House Xxxx 4880 (2004) and the regulations promulgated thereunder
for determining "borrower's interest," and otherwise complies in all material
respects with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts;
(lxv) The
Mortgagor has not made or caused to be made any payment in the nature of
an
“average” or “yield spread premium” to a mortgage broker or a like Person which
has not been fully disclosed to the Mortgagor;
(lxvi) The
Mortgage Loan was not prepaid in full prior to the Closing Date and the
Seller
has not received notification from a Mortgagor that a prepayment in full
shall
be made after the Closing Date;
(lxvii) No
Mortgagor is the obligor on more than five Mortgage Notes; provided, however,
that in no event shall a Mortgagor be the obligor on multiple Mortgage
Notes
with a combined unpaid principle balance of greater than
$1,000,000;
(lxviii) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition
of
a Prepayment Charge upon a Principal Prepayment prior to maturity: (i)
prior to
the Mortgage Loan’s origination, the Mortgagor agreed to such Prepayment Charge
in exchange for a monetary benefit, including but not limited to a Mortgage
Interest Rate or fee reduction, (ii) prior to the Mortgage Loan’s origination,
the Mortgagor was offered the option of obtaining a Mortgage Loan that
did not
require payment of a Prepayment Charge, (iii) the Prepayment Charge is
disclosed
to the Mortgagor in the Mortgage Loan Documents pursuant to applicable
state and
federal law, (iv) for Mortgage Loans originated on or after September 1,
2004,
the duration of the prepayment period shall not exceed three (3) years
from the
date of the Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage Loan was modified to reduce
the
prepayment period to no more than three years from the date of the Mortgage
Note
and the Mortgagor was notified in writing of such reduction in the prepayment
period, (v) no Mortgage Loan originated prior to October 1, 2002 has a
Prepayment Charge longer than five years (vi) notwithstanding any state
or
federal law to the contrary, the Seller shall not impose such Prepayment
Charge
in any instance when the Mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of
the
Mortgagor’s default in making the Monthly Payments. Each Prepayment Charge is
permissible, collectable and enforceable;
(lxix) The
Mortgage Loan complies with all applicable consumer credit statutes and
regulations, including, without limitation, the respective Uniform Consumer
Credit Code laws in effect in Alabama, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas,
Maine, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming, has been
originated by a properly licensed entity, and in all other respects, complies
with all of the material requirements of any such applicable laws;
(lxx) No
predatory, abusive or deceptive lending practices, including but not limited
to,
the extension of credit to a Mortgagor without regard for the Mortgagor’s
ability to repay the Mortgage Loan and the extension of credit to a Mortgagor
which has no tangible net benefit to the Mortgagor, were employed in connection
with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. Each Mortgage Loan is in compliance
with the anti-predatory lending eligibility for purchase requirements of
FNMA’s
Selling Guide. No Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage
Loan
product offered by the Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher cost product
designed for less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage
Loan’s origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit
history and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then
offered
by the Mortgage Loan’s originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s
originator. If, at the time of the related loan application, the Mortgagor
may
have qualified for a lower cost credit product then offered by any mortgage
lending affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator, the Mortgage Loan’s
originator referred the Mortgagor’s application to such affiliate for
underwriting consideration;
(lxxi) The
methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage
Loan
employs objective mathematical principles which relate the Mortgagor’s income,
assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting methodology
does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the
principal determining factor in approving such credit extension. Such
underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination
(application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to make timely
payments on the Mortgage Loan;
(lxxii) All
points, fees and charges, including finance charges (whether or not financed,
assessed, collected or to be collected), in connection with the origination
and
servicing of each Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing to the related
Mortgagor in accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation.
Except in the case of a Mortgage Loan in an original principal amount of
less
than $60,000 which would have resulted in an unprofitable origination or
as
otherwise disclosed to the Purchaser prior to the Closing Date and indicated
on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, no related Mortgagor was charged “points and
fees” (whether or not financed) in an amount greater than 5% of the principal
amount of such loan, such 5% limitation is calculated in accordance with
FNMA’s
anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in the FNMA Selling
Guide;
(lxxiii) The
Seller will transmit full-file credit reporting data for each Mortgage
Loan
pursuant to Xxxxxx Xxx Guide Announcement 95-19 and for each Mortgage Loan,
Seller agrees it shall report one of the following statuses each month
as
follows: new origination, current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.),
foreclosed, or charged-off;
(lxxiv) No
Mortgagor was required to purchase any credit life, disability, accident
or
health insurance product or debt cancellation agreement as a condition
of
obtaining the extension of credit. To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, no
Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single premium credit life, disability, accident
or
health insurance policy in connection with the origination of the Mortgage
Loan,
and no proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to finance single-premium
credit insurance policies or debt cancellation agreements as part of the
origination of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan;
(lxxv) The
Seller and any predecessor servicer has fully furnished, in accordance
with the
Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and
complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower
credit
files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company (three
of
the credit repositories) on a monthly basis; and the Seller will fully
furnish,
in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing
regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable)
on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Credit Information
Company (three of the credit repositories), on a monthly basis; and
(lxxvi) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, neither the related Mortgage nor the related
Mortgage Note requires the Mortgagor to submit to arbitration to resolve
any
dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan transaction.
no Mortgagor agreed to submit to arbitration to resolve any dispute arising
out
of or relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan
transaction.

of a third
party that at the time is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the
meaning of Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee agrees that the

third
party or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A
to
conclude that such third party independently meets the definition
of
“qualified institutional buyer” set forth in Rule 144A.

is

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 Residual Certificate (the “Certificate”)
issued
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of March 1, 2006
(the
“Agreement”),
among
Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”),
Xxxxx
Fargo Bank, N.A., Option One Mortgage Corporation and JPMorgan Chase Bank,
National Association as servicers, (the “Servicers”),
Citibank, N.A. as trust administrator and U.S. Bank National Association,
as
trustee (the “Trustee”).
Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto,
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee
has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the
Transferee for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee.
2. The
Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the
Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership
Interest in the Certificate for its own account. The Transferee has no knowledge
that any such affidavit is false.
3. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be
imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted
Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such
Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman)
for
a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the
Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the
tax
if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such
subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer,
such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed
on a
“pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable
year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee
is
the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands
that
such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record
holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record
holder
is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual
knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a “pass-through
entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust
or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives
and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding
interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
5. The
Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement
and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership
Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions
on
subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and
mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide
by
the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and the restrictions
noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees
that
any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the
Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The
Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom
the
Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate,
and
in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting
as
nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership
Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person
that
the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any
such
Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee
a
certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit L 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 has historically paid its debts as they have come due, intends
to pay
its debts as they come due in the future, and understands that the taxes
payable
with respect to the Certificate may exceed the cash flow with respect thereto
in
some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as they become due. 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.
8. The
Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is ___________.
9. The
Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code
Section 7701(a)(30).
10. The
Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a “noneconomic residual
interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest
will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual
interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
11. The
Transferee will not cause income from the 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 U.S.
person.
12. Check
one
of the following:
[_] 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
Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5)
of
the U.S. Treasury Regulations;
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 that is substantially similar to Title I
of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting on behalf
of
or investing plan assets 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

on

2. The
Owner
is not transferring the Class R Certificates or Class R-X Certificates (the

tax.
3. The
Owner
has no actual knowledge that the Person that is the proposed transferee (the
“Purchaser”) of the Residual Certificates: (i) has insufficient assets to pay
any taxes owed by such proposed transferee as holder of the Residual
Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding
for so long as the Residual Certificates remain outstanding and (iii) is
not a
Permitted Transferee.
4. The
Owner
understands that the Purchaser has delivered to the Trustee a transfer affidavit
and agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
as
Exhibit F-2. The Owner does not know or believe that any representation
contained therein is false.
5. At
the
time of transfer, the Owner has conducted a reasonable investigation of the
financial condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Owner
has
determined that the Purchaser has historically paid its debts as they became
due
and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Purchaser will
not
continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Owner
understands that the transfer of a Residual Certificate may not be respected
for
United States income tax purposes (and the Owner may continue to be liable
for
United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Owner has conducted
such an investigation.

is hereby amended by deleting the word “third” in the third line thereof
and inserting the word “first” in place
thereof.

(i)
Severability. If
any
term, provision, covenant, or condition of this Agreement, or the application
thereof to any party or circumstance, shall be held to be invalid or
unenforceable (in whole or in part) for any reason, the remaining terms,
provisions, covenants, and conditions hereof shall continue in full force
and
effect as if this Agreement had been executed with the invalid or unenforceable
portion eliminated, so long as this Agreement as so modified continues
to
express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties
as to
the subject matter of this Agreement and the deletion of such portion of
this
Agreement will not substantially impair the respective benefits or expectations
of the parties.
The
parties shall endeavor to engage in good faith negotiations to
replace any
invalid or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or condition
with a
valid or enforceable term, provision, covenant or condition,
the economic
effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid
or
unenforceable term, provision, covenant or condition.

(j)
Additional
Termination Events.
(i)
If,
upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Event (as defined in Part 5(l)
below)
Party A has not, within 10 days after such Swap Disclosure Event complied
with
any of the provisions set forth in Part 5(l)(iii) below, then an Additional
Termination Event shall have occurred with respect to Party A and Party
A shall
be the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination
Event.
(ii)
If
either a Collateralization Event has occurred and Party A has not complied
with
Part 5(k)(i) below or a Substitution Event has occurred and Party A has
not
complied with Part 5(k)(ii) below, then an Additional Termination Event
shall
have occurred with respect to Party A and Party A shall be the sole Affected
Party with respect to such an Additional Termination Event.
(k)
|
Downgrade
of Party A.
|
(i)
In
the event (any such event, a “Collateralization
Event”)
that
the long-term senior unsecured debt rating and the short-term obligations
ratings of Party A's guarantor (or, if there is no guarantor, Party A)
is
reduced below A and A-1 by Standard & Poor's Ratings Service ("S&P"),
or A1
and P-1 by Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"),
or A
and F1 by Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch"),
respectively, to the extent such obligations are rated by S&P and Xxxxx'x
and Fitch (such ratings thresholds, the "Approved
Ratings Thresholds"),
then
within 30 days after such rating downgrade, Party A, at its own expense
and
subject to the Rating Agency Condition, shall either (i) cause another
entity to
replace Party A as party to this Agreement that meets or exceeds the Approved
Rating Thresholds on terms substantially similar to this Agreement, or
(ii)
deliver collateral in the form of cash or U.S. treasury obligations equal
to the
amount required pursuant to the then-current published criteria of the
applicable Rating Agency (or, if there is no such criteria, an amount equal
to
Party B’s “Exposure” (as such term is defined in the CSA) of the Transaction)
pursuant to the form of the 1994 ISDA Credit Support Annex (New York law)
(the
“CSA”)
the
terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein, or (iii) obtain
a
guaranty in a form reasonably acceptable to S&P, Xxxxx’x, and Fitch, as
applicable, of, or a contingent agreement of, another person with the Approved
Rating Thresholds to honor Party A's obligation under this Agreement, or
(iv)
take such other action as Party A may agree in writing with S&P, Xxxxx’x,
and Fitch. For purposes of this provision, “Rating Agency Condition” means, with
respect to any particular proposed act or omission to act hereunder that
the
party acting or failing to act must consult with each of the Swap Rating
Agencies then providing a rating of the Certificates and receive from each
of
the Swap Rating Agencies a prior written confirmation that the proposed
action
or inaction would not cause a downgrade or withdrawal of the then-current
rating
of the Certificates.
(ii)
In the event (any such event, a “Substitution
Event”)
that the long-term senior unsecured debt rating of Party A's
guarantor
(or, if there is no guarantor, Party A) is withdrawn or reduced
below BBB-
by S&P, then within 10 days after such rating withdrawal or downgrade,
Party A, at its own expense and subject to the Rating Agency
Condition,
shall either (i) cause another entity to replace Party A as party
to this
Agreement that meets or exceeds the Approved Rating thresholds
on terms
substantially similar to this Agreement, or (ii) obtain a guaranty
in a
form reasonably acceptable to S&P of, or a contingent agreement of,
another person with the Approved Rating Thresholds to honor Party
A's
obligation under this Agreement.
|
(iii)
Upon successful consummation of any replacement or of any guaranty
pursuant to Part 5(k)(i) or (ii) above, Party A’s obligations to post
collateral as contemplated by this Part 5(k) shall terminate
and Party B
shall release its security interest in, and promptly return to
Party A,
any then-posted collateral (which return shall not be subject
to the
application of any priority of payments or similar
provision).
|
(l)
|

with Regulation AB.
|
(i) Party
A
agrees and acknowledges that Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc. (“CMLTI”)

(“Regulation

to
disclose certain financial information regarding Party A or its group of
affiliated entities, if applicable, depending on the aggregate “significance
percentage” of this Agreement and any other derivative contracts between Party A
or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, and Party B, as calculated
from time to time in accordance with Item 1115 of Regulation AB.
(ii) It
shall
be a swap disclosure event (“Swap
Disclosure Event”)
if, on
any Business Day after the date hereof, CMLTI requests from Party A the
applicable financial information described in Item 1115 of Regulation AB
(such
request to be based on a reasonable determination by CMLTI, in good faith,
that
such information is required under Regulation AB) (the “Swap
Financial Disclosure”).
(iii) Upon
the
occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Event, Party A, at its own expense, shall
(a)
provide to CMLTI the Swap Financial Disclosure, (b) secure another entity
(which
may be an affiliate of Party A) to replace Party A as party to this Agreement
on
terms substantially similar to this Agreement and subject to prior notification
to the Swap Rating Agencies, which entity (or a guarantor therefor) meets
or
exceeds the Approved Rating Thresholds and which entity is able to comply
with
the requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation AB or (c) obtain a guaranty,
subject
to Rating Agency Condition, in a form reasonably acceptable to S&P, Xxxxx’x,
and Fitch, as applicable, of, or a contingent agreement of, another person
with
the Approved Rating Thresholds to honor Party A's obligation under this
Agreement; provided that such person is an affiliate of Party A that is
able to
comply with the financial information disclosure requirements of Item 1115
of
Regulation AB, such that disclosure provided in respect of such affiliate
will
satisfy any disclosure requirements applicable to Party A, and provided,
further, that Party A will cause such affiliate to provide Swap Financial
Disclosure to CMLTI. If permitted by Regulation AB, any required Swap Financial
Disclosure may be provided by incorporation by reference from reports filed
pursuant to the Exchange Act.
(iv) Party
A
agrees that, in the event that Party A provides Swap Financial Disclosure
to
CMLTI in accordance with Part 5(l)(iii)(a) or causes its affiliate to provide
Swap Financial Disclosure to CMLTI in accordance with Part 5(l)(iii)(c),
it or
the guarantor, if applicable, will indemnify and hold harmless CMLTI, its
respective directors or officers and any person controlling CMLTI, from
and
against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any
untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such
Swap
Financial Disclosure or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state
in
such Swap Financial Disclosure a material fact required to be stated therein
or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under
which they were made, not misleading.
(v)
CMLTI
shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement as if a party
hereto to the extent of CMLTI’s rights explicitly specified herein.

Transfer,
Amendment and Assignment.
No
transfer, amendment, waiver, supplement, assignment or other
modification
of this Transaction shall be permitted by either party unless
(i) each of
S&P, Fitch and Xxxxx’x have been provided notice of the same and (ii)
each of S&P, Fitch and Xxxxx’x confirm in writing (including by
facsimile transmission) that they will not downgrade, qualify,
withdraw or
otherwise modify their then-current rating of the
Certificates.

be
answerable or accountable except for its own bad faith, willful misconduct
or
negligence. The Cap Administrator shall not be required to take any action
to
exercise or enforce any of its rights or powers hereunder which, in the
opinion

to the
Cap Administrator, unless the Cap Administrator shall have received an
agreement

liability
and expense.
(ii) The
Cap
Administrator shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted
to
be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of any party

(such account or accounts, the “Cap Account”), held in trust for the benefit of
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Indenture Trustee Administrator

the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Indenture Trustee Administrator
as
their interests may appear.
