This POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of May 1, 2004 (the
"Agreement"), by and among XXXXXX XXXXXXX CAPITAL I INC., a Delaware
corporation, as depositor (the "Depositor"), DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST
COMPANY, a national banking association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), XXXXX
FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, in its dual capacities as master servicer
(the "Master Servicer") and securities administrator (the "Securities
Administrator"), and WASHINGTON MUTUAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP., as a
servicer (a "Servicer") and acknowledged by XXXXXX XXXXXXX MORTGAGE CAPITAL
INC., a New York corporation, as seller (the "Seller"), for purposes of
Section 2.05.
WITNESSETH THAT
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed
to the Trustee in return for the Certificates. As provided herein, the Trustee
will make multiple elections to treat segregated pools of assets subject to
this Agreement for federal income tax purposes as the following two separate
real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a "REMIC"): the Subsidiary
REMIC and the Master REMIC. The Subsidiary REMIC will consist of all of the
assets constituting the Trust Fund, other than the Subsidiary REMIC Regular
Interests, the Master REMIC, the Class 2-A-4 Rounding Account, the Class 2-A-4
Reserve Fund, the Certificates and any rights of the Trust Fund in respect of
the Additional Collateral. The Subsidiary REMIC will issue uncertificated
REMIC regular interests (the "Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests"). The
Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests will represent the "regular interests" in
the Subsidiary REMIC and the SR Interest will represent the single class of
"residual interest" in the Subsidiary REMIC.
The Trustee will hold the Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests for the
benefit of the Master REMIC. The Master REMIC will consist of the Subsidiary
REMIC Interests and will be evidenced by the Certificates (other than the
Class A-R Certificates), which will constitute the regular interests in the
Master REMIC (the "Regular Certificates") and the Class MR Interest, which
will represent the single class of "residual interest" in the Master REMIC.
The Class A-R Certificates will represent the beneficial ownership of each of
the Class SR and Class MR Interests. The "latest possible maturity date" for
federal income tax purposes of all REMICs, and regular and residual interests
created hereunder will be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
vi
The Subsidiary REMIC
--------------------
The Subsidiary REMIC Interests, each of which (except for the Class
SR Interests) is hereby designated as a REMIC regular interest for federal
income tax purposes, will have the principal balances, pass-through rates and
Corresponding Loan Groups as set forth in the following table:

(1) Each Class A Interest will have a principal balance initially equal to
0.9% of the Subordinate Component Balance ("SCB") of its Corresponding
Loan Group. Each Class B Interest will have a principal balance initially
equal to 0.1% of the Subordinate Component Balance of its Corresponding
Loan Group. The initial principal balance of each Class C Interest will
equal the excess of: (i) the product of (A) the weighted average of the
Non-A-P Percentages of the Corresponding Loan Group and (B) the aggregate
principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the Corresponding Loan Group
over (ii) the initial aggregate principal balances of the Class A and
Class B Interests corresponding to such Loan Group.
(2) For each Distribution Date, a notional balance equal to the aggregate
principal balance of the Loan Group 1 Non-Discount Mortgage Loans.
(3) The excess of the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates for the Loan
Group 1 Non-Discount Mortgage Loans over 5.00%.
vii
(4) For each Distribution Date, the principal balance in respect of the Class
1-A-P Certificates.
(5) For each Distribution Date, a notional balance equal to the aggregate
principal balance of the Loan Group 2 Non-Discount Mortgage Loans.
(6) The excess of the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates for the Loan
Group 2 Non-Discount Mortgage Loans over 5.50%.
(7) For each Distribution Date, the principal balance in respect of the Class
C-A-P-2 Component.
(8) For each Distribution Date, a notional balance equal to the aggregate
principal balance of the Loan Group 3 Non-Discount Mortgage Loans.
(9) The excess of the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates for the Loan
Group 3 Non-Discount Mortgage Loans over 6.00%.
(10) For each Distribution Date, the principal balance in respect of the Class
C-A-P-3 Component.
(11) For each Distribution Date, the weighted average of the Net Mortgage
Rates for Loan Group 4.
(12) For each Distribution Date, the Pass Through Rate in respect of the Class
A-R Certificates.
On any Distribution Date:
(1) If no Cross-Over Situation exists with respect to any Class of
Interests, then the Non-A-P Percentage of Principal Reductions arising with
respect to each Loan Group will be allocated first to cause the Loan Group's
corresponding Class A and Class B Interests to equal, respectively, 0.9% of
the SCB, 0.1% of the SCB as of such Distribution Date, and second to the Loan
Group's corresponding Class C Interest;
(2) If a Cross-Over Situation exists then:
(a) if the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and
Class B Interests is less than the Pass Through Rate for the Subordinated
Certificates, Principal Relocation Payments will be made proportionately to
the outstanding Class A Interests prior to any other Principal Distributions
from each such Loan Group; and
(b) if the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and
Class B Interests is greater than the Pass Through Rate for the Subordinated
Certificates, Principal Relocation Payments will be made proportionately to
the outstanding Class B Interests prior to any other Principal Distributions
from each such Loan Group.
viii
In each case, Principal Relocation Payments will be made so as to cause
the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and Class B
Interests to equal the Pass Through Rate for the Subordinated Certificates.
With respect to each Loan Group, if (and to the extent that) the sum of (a)
the principal payments comprising the Principal Remittance Amount received
during the Due Period and (b) the Realized Losses, are insufficient to make
the necessary reductions of principal on the Class A and Class B Interests,
then interest will be added to the Loan Group's other Interests that are not
receiving Principal Relocation Payments, in proportion to their principal
balances.
(c) The outstanding aggregate Class A and Class B Interests will not be
reduced below 1 percent of the excess of (i) the product of (A) the weighted
average of the Non-A-P Percentages and (ii) the aggregate outstanding
Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans as of the end of any Due Period over
(ii) the Certificate Balance of the Senior Certificates as of the related
Distribution Date (after taking into account distributions of principal on
such Distribution Date).
If (and to the extent that) the limitation in paragraph (c) prevents the
distribution of principal to any of the Class A and Class B Interests, and if
the Loan Group's Class C Interest has already been reduced to zero, then the
excess principal from that Loan Group will be paid to the Class C Interests of
the other Loan Group if the aggregate Class A and Class B Interests of such
Loan Group are less than one percent of the SCB. If the Class C-1 Interest
receives such a payment, then the payment will be treated by Subsidiary REMIC
as a Realized Loss. Conversely, if the Class C-2 Interest receives such a
payment, then the payment will be treated by Subsidiary REMIC as a
reimbursement for prior Realized Losses.
The Class SR-1-A-P, Class SR-2-A-P and Class SR-3-A-P Interests will be
allocated the Class A-P Percentage of principal and Realized Losses in respect
of their corresponding Loan Groups.

(1) Minimum denomination is based on the Notional Amount of such Class.
(2) The Class 1-A-X Certificates will be Notional Amount Certificates, will
have no Class Principal Balance and will bear interest on their Notional
Amount (initially, $3,501,419).
(3) The Class 1-A-P, Class 2-A-3 and Class C-A-P Certificates will be
Principal Only Certificates and will not receive any distributions of
interest.
(4) The Class C-A-X Certificates will be Notional Amount Certificates, will
have no Class Principal Balance and will bear interest on their Notional
Amount (initially, $9,602,226).
(5) The Pass-Through Rate for the Class 4-A Certificates for each Interest
Accrual Period for any Distribution Date will be a per annum rate equal
to the weighted average Net Mortgage Rate on the Group 4 Mortgage Loans.
(6) The Class A-R Certificates represent the sole Class of residual interest
in each REMIC.
(7) The Class A-R Certificate shall be issued as two separate certificates,
one with an initial Certificate Balance of $99.99 and the Tax Matters
Person Certificate with an initial Certificate Balance of $0.01.
(8) The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of Subordinated Certificates for
each Interest Accrual Period for any Distribution Date will be a per
annum rate equal to the sum of (i) 5.00% multiplied by the excess of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1
over the aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of the Group 1 Senior
Certificates immediately prior to that Distribution Date, (ii) 5.50%
multiplied by the excess of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 over the aggregate of the Class Principal
Balances of the Group 2 Senior Certificates immediately prior to that
Distribution Date, (iii) 6.00% multiplied by the excess of the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 3 over the
aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of the Group 3 Senior
Certificates immediately prior to that Distribution Date and (iv) the
weighted average Net Mortgage Rate on the Group 4 Mortgage Loans
multiplied by the excess of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Group 4 Mortgage Loans as of the Due Date in the month preceding the
month of that Distribution Date (after giving effect to prepayments
received in the Prepayment Period related to such prior Due Date) over
the aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of the Group 4 Senior
Certificates immediately prior to that Distribution Date; divided by the
aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of the Subordinated
Certificates immediately
prior to that Distribution Date. The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of
Subordinated Certificates for the initial Interest Accrual Period will be
5.646% per annum. For federal income tax purposes only, the Pass-Through
Rate for each Class of Subordinated Certificates shall be the Calculation
Rate.
The foregoing provisions in the Preliminary Statement are intended to
cause net interest and principal collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans
to be distributed from the Subsidiary REMIC to the Master REMIC and from the
Master REMIC to each Class of Certificates. The Preliminary Statement will be
interpreted and applied consistently with such intent.
For any purpose for which the pass-through rates is calculated, the
interest rate on the Mortgage Loans shall be appropriately adjusted to account
for the difference between the monthly day count convention of the Mortgage
Loans and the monthly day count convention of the regular interests issued by
each of the REMICs. For purposes of calculating the pass-through rates for
each of the interests issued by the Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC such
rates shall be adjusted to equal a monthly day count convention based on a 30
day month for each Due Period and a 360-day year so that the Mortgage Loans
and all regular interests will be using the same monthly day count convention.

Section 2.04 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor and the
Seller as to the Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect
to the Mortgage Loans or each Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, as of the
date hereof or such other date set forth herein that as of the Closing Date:
(a) Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment contemplated herein,
the Depositor was the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loans. The
Mortgage Loans were not assigned or pledged by the Depositor and the Depositor
had good and marketable title thereto, and the Depositor had full right to
transfer and sell the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee free and clear of any
encumbrance, participation interest, lien, equity, pledge, claim or security

Trust.
(c) As of the Closing Date, the Depositor has not transferred the Mortgage

or defraud an of its creditors.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage
Files to the Trustee or the Custodian and shall inure to the benefit of the
Trustee, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or
assignment.
Section 2.05 Representations and Warranties of the Seller; Discovery of
Breach; Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans.
(a) With respect to the MSMCI Mortgage Loans the Seller hereby makes the
representations and warranties contained in Section 3.01 of the MSMCI Purchase
Agreement to and for the benefit of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust
Fund. With respect to the WaMu Serviced Mortgage Loans the Seller hereby makes
the representations and warranties contained in Exhibit D of the WaMu Purchase
Agreement to and for the benefit of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust
Fund. The Seller agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section 2.05 in
respect of a breach of any of such representations and warranties.
The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to
the Mortgage Loans as of the date hereof or such other date set forth herein
that as of the Closing Date:
50
(i) Each Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all material
respects with applicable predatory and abusive lending laws and
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not
involve the violation of any such laws.
(ii) None of the Mortgage Loans are "high cost" loans as defined by
applicable predatory and abusive lending laws.
Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller or the related Originator or
receipt of written notice of any materially defective document in, or,
following the date of delivery to the Trustee of the Custodian's
certifications as required under the related Custodial Agreements, that a
document is missing from, a Trustee Mortgage File, or discovery by the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller or the related Originator of the breach by
such Originator or Seller of any representation or warranty under the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the Acknowledgement, in the
case of the Originator, or under this Agreement, in the case of the Seller, in
respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of
that Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders (a
"Defective Mortgage Loan") (each of the Depositor, the Seller and the related
Originator hereby agreeing to give written notice thereof to the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer and the other of such parties), the Trustee, or its
designee, shall promptly notify the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer and the
Seller or the related Originator, as applicable, in writing of such
nonconforming or missing document or breach and request that the Seller or
related Originator deliver such missing document or cure or cause the cure of
such defect or breach within a period of time specified in the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, and if the Seller or related Originator, 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 under the related Purchase and
Servicing Agreement, as modified by the Acknowledgement, or the Seller under
this Agreement, as applicable, and cause the related Originator or the Seller,
as the case may be, to repurchase that Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at
the Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date following the
expiration of such specified period (subject to Section 2.05(c) below);
provided, however, that, in connection with any such breach that could not
reasonably have been cured within such specified period (unless permitted a
greater period of time to cure under the related Purchase and Servicing
Agreement), subject to Section 2.05(c) below, if the related Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, shall have commenced to cure such breach within such
specified period, the related Originator or the Seller shall be permitted to
proceed thereafter diligently and expeditiously to cure the same within such
additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure such breach. To the extent
that any costs and damages are incurred by the Trust Fund as a result of any
violation of any applicable federal, state, or local predatory or abusive
lending law arising from or in connection with the origination of any Mortgage
Loan repurchased by the related Originator or the Seller, such costs and
damages shall be included in the Purchase Price of such repurchased Mortgage
Loan and shall be borne by the Seller. The Purchase Price for the repurchased
Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the related Distribution Account, and the
Trustee, or its designee, upon receipt of written certification from the
Securities Administrator of such deposit, shall release or cause the Custodian
to release to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the related
Trustee Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or
warranties, as either party shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to
vest in such party any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee,
or its designee, shall have no further
51
responsibility with regard to such Trustee Mortgage File (it being understood
that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency
of such assignment for its intended purpose). If pursuant to the foregoing
provisions the related Originator or the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan
that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer shall cause MERS to
designate on the MERS(R) System the related Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, either
party may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which
case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more
Replacement Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 2.05(b) below. It is understood and agreed that the
obligations of the Originators and the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to
substitute for) any related 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 shall constitute the sole remedy against the
such party respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee
on behalf of the Certificateholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the substitution for a Deleted Mortgage
Loan that is a WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan or the repurchase of a Mortgage
Loan that is a WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan by the Seller or an Originator
shall be subject to, and shall in no way adversely affect, the right of WMMSC
to continue servicing and collecting its Servicing Fee for such Deleted
Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loan, as applicable, pursuant to the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement.
(b) Any substitution of Replacement Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage
Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(b) above must be effected prior to the
last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the related Originator or the Seller
substitutes a Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be
effected by delivering to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for such
Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the
Assignment and the Acknowledgement to the Trustee, and such other documents
and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, together with an
Officers' Certificate stating that each such Replacement Mortgage Loan
satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment
Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution.
Monthly Payments due with respect to Replacement Mortgage Loans in the month
of substitution shall not be included as part of the Trust Fund and shall be
retained by the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable. For the month
of substitution, distributions to the Certificateholders shall reflect the
collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage in the Due
Period preceding the month of substitution and the related Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts
subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. Upon such
substitution, such Replacement Mortgage Loan shall constitute part of the
Trust Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement
and the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the related
Acknowledgement, including all representations and warranties thereof included
in such Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the Acknowledgement,
in each case as of the date of substitution.
52
For any month in which an Originator or the Seller substitutes one or
more Replacement Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the
related Servicer shall determine the excess (each, a "Substitution Adjustment
Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted
Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Replacement Mortgage Loans replacing such Deleted Mortgage Loans, together
with one month's interest on such excess amount at the applicable Net Mortgage
Rate. On the date of such substitution, the related Originator or Seller, as
applicable, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the related Servicer for
deposit in the related Custodial Account an amount equal to the related
Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and the Custodian, on behalf of the
Trustee, upon receipt of the related Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans and
certification by such Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the related
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the related Trustee Mortgage File or
Files and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as the related Originator or Seller
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 Seller, as applicable, shall
obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution
(either specifically or as a class of transactions) shall not cause an Adverse
REMIC Event. 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.
(c) Upon discovery by the related Originator, the Seller, the Depositor
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. In connection therewith, the applicable party
shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.05(b),
substitute one or more Replacement 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. Any such repurchase or substitution
shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.05(a) above and/or
in accordance with this Section 2.05(c). The Trustee shall re-convey to the
related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, 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 for breach of a
representation or warranty.
Section 2.06 Grant Clause.
(a) It is intended that the conveyance of the Depositor's right, title
and interest in and to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this
Agreement shall constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property
and not a grant of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if such
conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the
rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement; (2) the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates a first priority security
interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired, the Trust Fund and all proceeds of
any and all property constituting the Trust Fund to secure payment of the
Certificates; and (3) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement
under applicable law. If such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan
and the trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the
53
satisfaction of the claims of any Person holding any Certificate, the security
interest created hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the
Trustee shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such
Person, and all proceeds shall be distributed as herein provided.
(b) The Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement,
take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this
Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and
the other property described above, 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. The
Depositor will, at its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the
Closing Date and shall forward a copy of such filing or filings to the
Trustee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall
prepare and forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at
the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the
effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the relevant UCC to
perfect the Trustee's security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans,
including without limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) such other
statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of an Originator,
the Depositor or the Trustee, (2) any change of location of the place of
business or the chief executive office of the Seller or the Depositor, (3) any
transfer of any interest of an Originator or the Depositor in any Mortgage
Loan or (4) any change under the relevant UCC or other applicable laws.
Neither the Originators nor the Depositor shall organize under the law of any
jurisdiction other than the State under which each is organized as of the
Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing
under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice
of such action to its immediate and intermediate transferee, including the
Trustee. Before effecting such change, any Originator or the Depositor
proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in
the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements
necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate and
intermediate transferees, including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the
Originators and the Depositor authorizes its immediate or intermediate
transferee (but not the Trustee) to file in any filing office any initial
financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation
statements, or any other statements or filings described in this paragraph
(b).
ARTICLE III
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 3.01 The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form only and shall
be securities governed by Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code.
The Book-Entry Certificates will be evidenced by one or more certificates,
beneficial ownership of which will be held in the dollar denominations in
Certificate Balance, or Notional Amount, as applicable, or in the Percentage
Interests, specified herein. Each Class of Certificates will be issued in the
minimum denominations and integral multiples thereof of the initial
Certificate Balance (or Notional Amount) specified in the Preliminary
Statement hereto.
54
(b) The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer of the Trustee or of the
Securities Administrator on the Trustee's behalf. Each Certificate shall, on
original issue, be authenticated by the Authenticating Agent upon the order of
the Depositor upon receipt by the Trustee of the Trustee Mortgage Files
described in Section 2.01. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on
such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form
provided for herein, executed by an authorized officer of the Authenticating
Agent, by manual signature, and such certification upon any Certificate shall
be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been
duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated
the date of their authentication. At any time and from time to time after the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor may deliver
Certificates executed by or on behalf of the Trustee to the Authenticating
Agent for authentication and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver such Certificates as in this Agreement provided and not otherwise.
(c) The Class B-4, Class B-5, Class B-6 and Class A-R Certificates
offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration under Rule
144A under the Act shall be issued initially in definitive, fully registered
form without interest coupons with the applicable legends set forth in Exhibit
A added to the forms of such Certificates (each, a "Restricted Global
Security").
Section 3.02 Registration.
The Securities Administrator is hereby appointed, and the Securities
Administrator hereby accepts its appointment as, initial Certificate Registrar
in respect of the Certificates and shall maintain books for the registration
and for the transfer of Certificates (the "Certificate Register"). The Trustee
may appoint a bank or trust company to act as successor Certificate Registrar.
A registration book shall be maintained for the Certificates collectively. The
Certificate Registrar may resign or be discharged or removed and a new
successor may be appointed in accordance with the procedures and requirements
set forth in Sections 6.06 and 6.07 hereof with respect to the resignation,
discharge or removal of the Securities Administrator and the appointment of a
successor Securities Administrator. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by
a written instrument delivered to the Holders and the Master Servicer, any
bank or trust company to act as co-registrar under such conditions as the
Certificate Registrar may prescribe; provided, however, that the Certificate
Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities
hereunder by reason of such appointment.
Section 3.03 Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) A Certificate (other than Book-Entry Certificates which shall be
subject to Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only
upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the
Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly
executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall
be satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any
Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Securities
Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall execute, and the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one or more new
Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the
55
same aggregate Certificate Balance (or Notional Amount) as the Certificate
being transferred. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for
any registration of transfer of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer of
Certificates.
(b) A Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number
of new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations,
representing in the aggregate the same Certificate Balance (or Notional
Amount) as the Certificate surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to
be exchanged at the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by such Holder
or his duly authorized attorney in such form as is satisfactory to the
Certificate Registrar. Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will
evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and
privileges, as the Certificates surrendered. No service charge shall be made
to a Certificateholder for any exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate
Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of
Certificates. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the
Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall execute, and the
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates
which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(c) By acceptance of a Restricted Certificate, whether upon original
issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Certificate
acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth
thereon and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided
herein.
The following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and
registration of transfer of a Restricted Certificate to a transferee that
takes delivery in the form of a Definitive Certificate:
(i) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a
Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is (x) to the Depositor
or an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the 0000 Xxx) of the
Depositor or (y) being made to a "qualified institutional buyer" (a
"QIB") as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act") by a transferor that has provided the Certificate
Registrar with a certificate in the form of Exhibit H hereto; and
(ii) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a
Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is being made to an
"accredited investor" under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the
Act, or to any Person all of the equity owners in which are such
accredited investors, by a transferor who furnishes to the Certificate
Registrar a letter of the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit
I hereto.
(d) No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a
Definitive Certificate shall be made to any Person or shall be effective
unless the Certificate Registrar, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (A) a
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto (or Exhibit B, in
the case of a Residual Certificate) from such transferee or (B) an Opinion of
56
Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar to the effect that the
purchase and holding of such a Certificate will not constitute or result in
any nonexempt prohibited transactions under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code and will not subject the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the
Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator to any
obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement; provided,
however, that the Certificate Registrar will not require such certificate or
opinion in the event that, as a result of a change of law or otherwise,
counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar has rendered an opinion to
the effect that the purchase and holding of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate by
a Plan or a Person that is purchasing or holding such a Certificate with the
assets of a Plan will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction
under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the
Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the
Securities Administrator to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in
this Agreement. Each Transferee of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a
Book-Entry Certificate shall be deemed to have made the appropriate
representation set forth in paragraph 2 and the representation set forth in
paragraph 3 of Exhibit J. The preparation and delivery of the certificate and
opinions referred to above shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the
Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the
Securities Administrator.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no opinion or certificate shall be
required for the initial issuance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates to the
Underwriter. The Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to monitor
transfers of Book-Entry Certificates that are ERISA-Restricted Certificates
and shall have no liability for transfers of such Certificates in violation of
the transfer restrictions. The Certificate Registrar shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any
ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
3.03(d) and neither the Securities Administrator nor the Paying Agent shall
have any liability for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under
the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the
Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing requirements. The
Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be entitled, but not
obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that
was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of a Plan any payments made on
such ERISA-Restricted Certificate at and after such time. Any such payments so
recovered by the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be
paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee,
to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not such a Plan or
Person acting on behalf of a Plan.
(e) As a condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any
Certificate, the Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer
identification number of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection
therewith; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall have no
obligation to require such payment or to determine whether or not any such tax
or charge may be applicable. No service charge shall be made to the
Certificateholder for any registration, transfer or exchange of a Certificate.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no
Residual Certificate may be owned, pledged or transferred, directly or
indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified Organization or (ii) an individual,
corporation or partnership or other person unless
57
such person (A) is not a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S. Person that
holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of a trade or
business within the United States and has furnished the transferor and the
Certificate Registrar with an effective Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI
or successor form at the time and in the manner required by the Code (any such
person who is not covered by clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein as
a "Non-permitted Foreign Holder").
Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or
other disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed transferee shall
deliver to the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B representing and warranting, among other things,
that such transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or
nominee acting on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-permitted
Foreign Holder (any such transferee, a "Permitted Transferee"), and the
proposed transferor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. In
addition, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may (but shall have no
obligation to) require, prior to and as a condition of any such transfer, the
delivery by the proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, that such proposed transferee or, if
the proposed transferee is an agent or nominee, the proposed beneficial owner,
is not a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or a
Non-permitted Foreign Holder. Notwithstanding the registration in the
Certificate Register of any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Residual
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee thereof, or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder, such registration shall be deemed to be of no
legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization, agent or
nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be a
Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions on such Residual Certificate. The Depositor and
the Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration or transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified
Organization, agent or nominee thereof or Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for
the Paying Agent making any payments due on such Residual Certificate to the
Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of the Agreement, so long as the transfer was effected in
accordance with this Section 3.03(f), unless the Certificate Registrar shall
have actual knowledge at the time of such transfer or the time of such payment
or other action that the transferee is a Disqualified Organization, or an
agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder. The Certificate
Registrar shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual
Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder or any subsequent
time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such Residual Certificate
at and after either such times (and all costs and expenses, including but not
limited to attorneys' fees, incurred in connection therewith). Any payment
(not including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the Certificate
Registrar shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such
Residual Certificate.
If any purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(f),
then upon receipt of written notice to the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar that the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was
not in fact permitted by this Section 3.03(f), the last preceding Permitted
Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to
the date of such registration of transfer of
58
such Residual Certificate. The Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the
Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of
transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this
Section 3.03(f), or for the Paying Agent making any payment due on such
Certificate to the registered Holder thereof or for taking any other action
with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as
the transfer was registered upon receipt of the affidavit described in the
preceding paragraph of this Section 3.03(f).
(g) Each Holder or Certificate Owner of a Restricted Certificate,
ERISA-Restricted Certificate or Residual Certificate, or an interest therein,
by such Holder's or Owner's acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all
purposes to have consented to the provisions of this section.
Section 3.04 Cancellation of Certificates.
Any Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be cancelled and retained in accordance with normal retention policies
with respect to cancelled certificates maintained by the Certificate
Registrar.

the original Certificate in lieu of which such new Certificate was issued
presents for payment such original Certificate, the Depositor, the Certificate
Registrar and the Trustee or any agent shall be entitled to recover such new

Certificate Registrar in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing
or able to discharge properly its responsibilities with respect to the
Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified
successor satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar, (ii)
the Depositor, at its option, advises the Certificate Registrar in writing
that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency
or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners
representing beneficial interests aggregating not less than 50% of the
61

Paying Agent and the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants
in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing

of Book-Entry Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the
Clearing Agency to effect notification to all Certificate Owners, through the
Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability
of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the

Agency for registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue the Definitive
Certificates. Neither the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee
shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.

obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency shall be
deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Certificate Registrar, to the
extent applicable, with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the
Certificate Registrar shall recognize the holders of the Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Certificate Registrar, upon the instruction of the Depositor, shall have

Class B-4, Class B-3, Class B-2 and Class B-1
Certificates, in that order, pursuant to Section

(4) With respect to Available Funds for Loan Group 4, on each
Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw the Available
Funds from the funds available therefor in the Distribution Account and apply

72
(6) On each Distribution Date, Available Funds from all of the Loan

remaining:
(A) to the Class B-1 Certificates, an amount
allocable to interest equal to the Class Optimal Interest

Distribution Amount for such Class for such Distribution
Date;
(D) to the Class B-2 Certificates, an amount

such Distribution Date until the Class Principal Balance
thereof is reduced to zero;
(E) to the Class B-3 Certificates, an amount
allocable to interest equal to the amount of the Class
Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for such Class for
such Distribution Date;
(F) to the Class B-3 Certificates, an amount
allocable to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for
such Distribution Date until the Class Principal Balance
thereof is reduced to zero;

allocable to interest equal to the amount of the Class
Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for such Class for
such Distribution Date;
(H) to the Class B-4 Certificates, an amount

(M) to the Class B-6 Certificates, an amount
allocable to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for
such Distribution Date until the Class Principal Balance
thereof is reduced to zero; and
(N) to the Class A-R Certificates, any remaining
funds in the Trust Fund.
On any Distribution Date, amounts distributed in respect of Class A-P
Deferred Amounts will not reduce the Class Principal Balance of the related
Class of Class A-P Certificates.
On any Distribution Date, to the extent the Amount Available for
Senior Principal related to a Loan Group is insufficient to make the full
distribution required to be made pursuant to subclause (iv)(x) above, (A) the
amount distributable on the related Class of Class A-P Certificates in respect
of principal pursuant to such subclause (iv)(x) shall be equal to the product
of (1) the Amount Available for Senior Principal for that Loan Group and
Distribution Date and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the A-P
Formula Principal Amount for that Loan Group and Distribution Date and the
denominator of which is the sum of the A-P Formula Principal Amount and the
Senior Principal Distribution Amount for that Loan Group and Distribution Date
and (B) the amount distributable on the Senior Certificates, other than the
related Class of Class A-P Certificates, in respect of principal pursuant to
clause (iv)(y) shall be equal to the product of (1) the Amount Available for
Senior Principal for that Loan Group and Distribution Date and (2) a fraction,
the numerator of which is the Senior Principal Distribution Amount for that
Loan Group and Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the sum of
the Senior Principal Distribution Amount and the A-P Formula Principal Amount
for that Loan Group and Distribution Date.
(b) On each Distribution Date with respect to each Class or Component
of Accrual Certificates, the Accrual Amount for such Class or Component for
such Distribution Date shall not (except as provided in the second to last
sentence in this paragraph) be distributed as interest with respect to such
Class or Component of Accrual Certificates, but shall instead be added to the
related Class Principal Balance of such Class on the related Distribution
Date. With respect to any Distribution Date on which principal payments on any
Class or Component of Accrual Certificates are distributed pursuant to Section
5.02(a)(1)(iv)(y), Section 5.02(a)(2)(iv)(y), Section 5.02(a)(3)(iv)(y) or
Section 5.02(a)(4)(iv)(y), as applicable, the related Accrual Amount shall be
deemed to have been added on such Distribution Date to the related Class
Principal Balance or Component Balance (and included in the amount
distributable on the related Class or Classes or Component of Accretion
Directed Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(1)(iii), Section
5.02(a)(2)(iii), Section 5.02(a)(3)(iii) or Section 5.02(a)(4)(iii), as
applicable, for such Distribution Date) and the related distribution thereon
shall be deemed to have been applied concurrently towards the reduction of all
or a portion of the amount so added and, to the extent of any excess, towards
the reduction of the Class Principal Balance or Component Balance of such
Class or Component of Accrual Certificates immediately prior to such
Distribution Date.
74
(c) On each Distribution Date on or after the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, notwithstanding the allocation and priorities set forth in
Section 5.02(a)(2)(iv)(y), the portion of Available Funds available to be
distributed as principal of the Senior Certificates of Loan Group 2 (other
than the Class C-A-P-2 Component) shall be distributed concurrently, as
principal, on such Classes, pro rata, on the basis of their respective Class
Principal Balances, until the Class Principal Balances thereof are reduced to
zero.
(d) On each Distribution Date, the amount referred to in clause (i)
of the definition of Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for each Class
of Certificates for such Distribution Date shall be reduced for each Class of
Senior Certificates of a Senior Certificate Group and each Class of
Subordinated Certificates by (i) the related Class' pro rata share of Net
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for such Loan Group based (x) with respect to a
Class of Senior Certificates, on the related Class Optimal Interest
Distribution Amount and (y) with respect to a Class of Subordinated
Certificates on or prior to the third Senior Termination Date on the Assumed
Interest Amount and on or after such Senior Termination Date, the related
Class' Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date,
without taking into account such Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and (ii)
the related Class' Allocable Share of (A) after the Special Hazard Coverage
Termination Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan in the related Loan Group
(or, after the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, any Mortgage Loan) that
became a Special Hazard Mortgage Loan during the calendar month preceding the
month of such Distribution Date, the excess of one month's interest at the
related Net Mortgage Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage
Loan as of the Due Date in such month over the amount of Liquidation Proceeds
applied as interest on such Mortgage Loan with respect to such month, (B)
after the Bankruptcy Coverage Termination Date, with respect to each Mortgage
Loan that became subject to a Bankruptcy Loss during the calendar month
preceding the month of such Distribution Date, the interest portion of the
related Debt Service Reduction or Deficient Valuation, (C) each Relief Act
Shortfall for the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group (or, after the
Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, any Mortgage Loan) incurred during the
calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date and (D) after the
Fraud Loss Coverage Termination Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan in
the related Loan Group (or, after the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date,
any Mortgage Loan) that became a Fraud Loan during the calendar month
preceding the month of such Distribution Date, the excess of one month's
interest at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of
such Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in such month over the amount of
Liquidation Proceeds applied as interest on such Mortgage Loan with respect to
such month.
(e) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation contained in Section
5.02(a)(6), if, on any Distribution Date, with respect to any Class of
Subordinated Certificates (other than the Class of Subordinated Certificates
then outstanding with the highest priority of distribution), the sum of the
related Class Subordination Percentages of such Class and of all Classes of
Subordinated Certificates which have a higher numerical Class designation than
such Class (the "Applicable Credit Support Percentage") is less than the
Original Applicable Credit Support Percentage for such Class, no distribution
of Principal Prepayments will be made to any such Classes (the "Restricted
Classes") and the amount of such Principal Prepayments otherwise distributable
to the Restricted Classes shall be distributed to any Classes of Subordinated
Certificates having lower numerical Class designations than such Class, pro
rata, based on their
75
respective Class Principal Balances immediately prior to such Distribution
Date and shall be distributed in the sequential order provided in Section
5.02(a)(6).
(f) If the amount of a Realized Loss on a Mortgage Loan has been
reduced by application of Subsequent Recoveries with respect to such Mortgage
Loan, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied sequentially,
in the order of payment priority, to increase the Class Principal Balance of
each Class of Certificates to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but
in each case by not more than the amount of Realized Losses previously
allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 5.04; provided,
however, that if any such Realized Loss was covered under the Class 2-A-4
Policy any such Subsequent Recoveries otherwise payable to the Class 2-A-4
Certificates shall instead be paid to the Certificate Insurer. Holders of such
Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of the Class
Optimal Interest Distribution Amount on the amount of such increases for any
Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase
occurs. Any such increases shall be applied pro rata to the Certificate
Balance of each Certificate of such Class.
(g) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator or Paying
Agent shall distribute the amount withdrawn from the Reserve Fund with respect
to such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.02(c), to the Class 2-A-4
Certificates as interest thereon, up to the sum of (i) amount of the Class
2-A-4 Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and (ii) the Class 2-A-4 Relief Act
Reductions with respect to such Distribution Date.
Section 5.03 Distributions in Reduction of the Class 2-A-4
Certificates.
(a) Except as provided in subclauses (d) and (f) below, on each
Distribution Date on which distributions in reduction of the Class Principal
Balance of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates are made, such distributions will be
made pursuant to any request by a Class 2-A-4 Certificate Owner, in the
following priority:
(i) any request by the personal representative of a Deceased
Holder or by a surviving tenant by the entirety, by a surviving
joint tenant or by a surviving tenant in common or other Person
empowered to act on behalf of such Deceased Holder upon his or her
death, in an amount up to but not exceeding $100,000 per request;
and
(ii) any request by a Living Holder, in an amount up to but not
exceeding $10,000 per request.
(b) Thereafter, distributions will be made as provided in clauses (i)
and (ii) above up to a second $100,000 and $10,000 per request, respectively.
This sequence of priorities will be repeated for each request for principal
distributions made by the Certificate Owners of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates
until all such requests have been honored.
Requests for distributions in reduction of the Certificate Balances
of Class 2-A-4 Certificates presented on behalf of Deceased Holders in
accordance with the provisions of clause (i) above will be accepted in the
order of their receipt by the Clearing Agency. Requests for distributions in
reduction of the Certificate Balances of Class 2-A-4 Certificates presented in
accordance with the provisions of clause (ii) above will be accepted in the
order of priority established by the random lot procedures of the Clearing
Agency after all requests with respect
76
to such Class presented in accordance with clause (i) have been honored.
All requests for distributions in reduction of the Certificate Balance
of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates with respect to any Distribution Date
shall be made in accordance with Section 5.03(c) below and must be received by
the Clearing Agency and forwarded to, and received by, the Securities
Administrator no later than the close of business on the related Record Date.
Requests for distributions which are received by the Clearing Agency and
forwarded to the Securities Administrator after the related Record Date and
requests, in either case, for distributions timely received but not accepted
with respect to any Distribution Date, will be treated as requests for
distributions in reduction of the Certificate Balances of the applicable Class
2-A-4 Certificates on the next succeeding Distribution Date, and each
succeeding Distribution Date thereafter, until each such request is accepted
or is withdrawn as provided in Section 5.03(c). Such requests as are not so
withdrawn shall retain their order of priority without the need for any
further action on the part of the appropriate Certificate Owner of the related
Class 2-A-4 Certificate, all in accordance with the procedures of the Clearing
Agency and the Securities Administrator. Upon the transfer of beneficial
ownership of any Class 2-A-4 Certificate, any distribution request previously
submitted with respect to such Certificate will be deemed to have been
withdrawn only upon the receipt by the Securities Administrator of
notification of such withdrawal using a form required by the Clearing Agency.
Distributions in reduction of the Certificate Balances of Class 2-A-4
Certificates will be applied, in the aggregate, to the Class 2-A-4
Certificates in an amount equal to the portion of the Available Funds
distributable to the Class 2-A-4 Certificates pursuant to Section
5.02(a)(1)(iv), plus any amounts available for distribution from the Class
2-A-4 Rounding Account pursuant to Section 5.03(f), provided that the
aggregate distribution in reduction of the Class Principal Balance of the
Class 2-A-4 Certificates on any Distribution Date is made in an integral
multiple of $1,000.
(c) A "Deceased Holder" is a Certificate Owner of a Class 2-A-4
Certificate who was living at the time such interest was acquired and whose
authorized personal representative, surviving tenant by the entirety,
surviving joint tenant or surviving tenant in common or other person empowered
to act on behalf of such Certificate Owner upon his or her death, causes to be
furnished to the Securities Administrator a certified copy of the death
certificate of such Certificate Owner and any additional evidence of death
required by and satisfactory to the Securities Administrator and any tax
waivers requested by the Securities Administrator. Class 2-A-4 Certificates
beneficially owned by tenants by the entirety, joint tenants or tenants in
common will be considered to be beneficially owned by a single owner. The
death of a tenant by the entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common will be
deemed to be the death of the Certificate Owner, and the Class 2-A-4
Certificates so beneficially owned will be eligible for priority with respect
to distributions in reduction of the Class Principal Balance of the Class
2-A-4 Certificates, subject to the limitations stated above. Class 2-A-4
Certificates beneficially owned by a trust will be considered to be
beneficially owned by each beneficiary of the trust to the extent of such
beneficiary's beneficial interest therein, but in no event will a trust's
beneficiaries collectively be deemed to be Certificate Owners of a number of
Individual Class 2-A-4 Certificates greater than the number of Individual
Class 2-A-4 Certificates of which such trust is the beneficial owner. The
death of a beneficiary of a trust will be deemed to be the death of a
Certificate Owner of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates beneficially owned by the
trust to the extent of such beneficiary's beneficial interest in such trust.
The death of an individual who was a tenant
77
by the entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common in a tenancy which
is the beneficiary of a trust will be deemed to be the death of the
beneficiary of the trust. The death of a person who, during his or her
lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the beneficial ownership
interests in Class 2-A-4 Certificates will be deemed to be the death of the
Certificate Owner of such Class 2-A-4 Certificates regardless of the
registration of ownership of such Class 2-A-4 Certificates, if such beneficial
interest can be established to the satisfaction of the Securities
Administrator. Such beneficial interest will be deemed to exist in typical
cases of street name or nominee ownership, ownership by a trustee, ownership
under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act and community property or other joint
ownership arrangements between a husband and wife. Beneficial interests shall
include the power to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of a Class 2-A-4
Certificate and the right to receive the proceeds therefrom, as well as
interest and distributions in reduction of the Certificate Balances of the
Class 2-A-4 Certificates payable with respect thereto. The Securities
Administrator shall not be under any duty to determine independently the
occurrence of the death of any deceased Certificate Owner. The Securities
Administrator may rely entirely upon documentation delivered to it pursuant to
Section 5.03(a) in establishing the eligibility of any Certificate Owner to
receive the priority accorded Deceased Holders in Section 5.03(a).
(d) Requests for distributions in reduction of the Certificate
Balance of a Class 2-A-4 Certificate must be made by delivering a written
request therefor to the Clearing Agency Participant or Indirect Participant
that maintains the account evidencing the Certificate Owner's interest in such
Class 2-A-4 Certificate. Such Clearing Agency Participant or Indirect
Participant should in turn make the request of the Clearing Agency (or, in the
case of an Indirect Participant, such Indirect Participant must notify the
related Clearing Agency Participant of such request, which Clearing Agency
Participant should make the request of the Clearing Agency) on a form required
by the Clearing Agency and provided to the Clearing Agency Participant. Upon
receipt of such request, the Clearing Agency will date and time stamp such
request and forward such request to the Securities Administrator. The Clearing
Agency may establish such procedures as it deems fair and equitable to
establish the order of receipt or requests for such distributions received by
it on the same day. The Securities Administrator shall not be liable for any
delay in delivery of requests for distributions or withdrawals of such
requests by the Clearing Agency, a Clearing Agency Participant or any Indirect
Participant.
In the event any requests for distributions in reduction of the
Certificate Balance of Class 2-A-4 Certificates are rejected by the Securities
Administrator for failure to comply with the requirements of this Section
5.03, the Securities Administrator shall return such requests to the
appropriate Clearing Agency Participant with a copy to the Clearing Agency
with an explanation as to the reason for such rejection.
The Securities Administrator shall maintain a list of those Clearing
Agency Participants representing the Certificate Owners of Class 2-A-4
Certificates that have submitted requests for distributions in reduction of
the Certificate Balances of such Class 2-A-4 Certificates, together with the
order of receipt and the amounts of such requests. The Securities
Administrator shall notify the Clearing Agency and the appropriate Clearing
Agency Participants as to which requests should be honored on each
Distribution Date. Requests shall be honored by the Clearing Agency in
accordance with the procedures, and subject to the priorities and limitations,
described in this Section 5.03. The exact procedures to be followed by the
Securities Administrator and the Clearing Agency for purposes of determining
such priorities and
78
limitations shall be those established from time to time by the Securities
Administrator or the Clearing Agency, as the case may be. The decisions of the
Securities Administrator and the Clearing Agency concerning such matters shall
be final and binding on all affected Persons.
Payments in reduction of the Certificate Balance of Class 2-A-4
Certificates shall be made on the applicable Distribution Date and the
Certificate Balances as to which such payments are made shall cease to bear
interest after the last day of the month preceding the month in which such
Distribution Date occurs.
Any Certificate Owner of a Class 2-A-4 Certificate which has
requested a distribution may withdraw its request by so notifying in writing
the Clearing Agency Participant or Indirect Participant that maintains such
Certificate Owner's account. In the event that such account is maintained by
an Indirect Participant, such Indirect Participant must notify the related
Clearing Agency Participant which in turn must forward the withdrawal of such
request, on a form required by the Clearing Agency, to the Securities
Administrator. If such notice of withdrawal of a request for distribution has
not been received by the Clearing Agency and forwarded to the Securities
Administrator on or before the Record Date for the next Distribution Date, the
previously made request for distribution will be irrevocable with respect to
the making of distributions in reduction of the Certificate Balance of such
Class 2-A-4 Certificate on such Distribution Date.
(e) To the extent, if any, that distributions in reduction of the
Class Principal Balance of Class 2-A-4 Certificates on a Distribution Date
exceed the aggregate Certificate Balances of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates with
respect to which distribution requests have been received by the related
Record Date, as provided in Section 5.03(a) above, distributions in reduction
of the Class Principal Balance of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates will be made by
mandatory distributions in reduction thereof. The Securities Administrator
shall notify the Clearing Agency of the aggregate amount of the mandatory
distribution in reduction of the Class Principal Balance of the Class 2-A-4
Certificates to be made on the next Distribution Date. The Clearing Agency
shall then allocate such aggregate amount among its Clearing Agency
Participants on a random lot basis. Each Clearing Agency Participant and, in
turn, each Indirect Participant, will then select, in accordance with its own
procedures, Individual Class 2-A-4 Certificates from among those held in its
accounts to receive mandatory distributions in reduction of the Class
Principal Balance of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates, such that the total amount
so selected is equal to the aggregate amount of such mandatory distributions
allocated to such Clearing Agency Participant by the Clearing Agency and to
such Indirect Participant by its related Clearing Agency Participant, as the
case may be. Clearing Agency Participants and Indirect Participants which hold
Class 2-A-4 Certificates selected for mandatory distributions in reduction of
the Class Principal Balance are required to provide notice of such mandatory
distributions to the affected Certificate Owners.
(f) On the Closing Date, the Class 2-A-4 Rounding Account shall be
established with the Securities Administrator and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co.
Incorporated shall cause to be initially deposited the sum of $999.99 in the
Class 2-A-4 Rounding Account. On each Distribution Date on which a
distribution is made in reduction of the Class Principal Balance of the Class
2-A-4 Certificates, funds on deposit in the Class 2-A-4 Rounding Account shall
be, to the extent needed, withdrawn by the Securities Administrator and
applied to round upward to an integral multiple of $1,000 the aggregate
distribution in reduction of the Class Principal Balance to be
79
made on the Class 2-A-4 Certificates. Rounding of such distribution on the
Class 2-A-4 Certificates shall be accomplished, on the first such
Distribution Date, by withdrawing from the Class 2-A-4 Rounding Account the
amount of funds, if any, needed to round the amount otherwise available for
such distribution in reduction of the Class Principal Balance of the Class
2-A-4 Certificates upward to the next integral multiple of $1,000. On each
succeeding Distribution Date on which distributions in reduction of the Class
Principal Balance of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates are to be made, the
aggregate amount of such distributions allocable to the Class 2-A-4
Certificates shall be applied first to repay any funds withdrawn from the
Class 2-A-4 Rounding Account and not previously repaid, and then the remainder
of such allocable amount, if any, shall be similarly rounded upward and
applied as distributions in reduction of the Class Principal Balance of the
Class 2-A-4 Certificates; this process shall continue on succeeding
Distribution Dates until the Class Principal Balance of the Class 2-A-4
Certificates has been reduced to zero. The Class 2-A-4 Rounding Account shall
be an "outside reserve fund" under the REMIC Provisions that is beneficially
owned for all federal income tax purposes by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co.
Incorporated, and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated shall report all income,
gain, deduction or loss with respect thereto. The Class 2-A-4 Rounding Account
shall remain uninvested.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Distribution
Date on which distributions in reduction of the Class Principal Balance of the
Class 2-A-4 Certificates will reduce the Class Principal Balance thereof to
zero or in the event that distributions in reduction of the Class Principal
Balance of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates are made in accordance with the
provisions set forth in Section 5.03(g), an amount equal to the difference
between $999.99 and the sum then held in the Class 2-A-4 Rounding Account
shall be paid from the Available Funds for such Distribution Date to the Class
2-A-4 Rounding Account. Any funds then on deposit in such Class 2-A-4 Rounding
Account shall be distributed to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated.
(g) Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary,
on each Distribution Date following the first Distribution Date on or after
the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, distributions in reduction of the
Class Principal Balance of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates (including amounts
paid in respect of Realized Losses under the Class 2-A-4 Policy) will be made
among the Holders of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates, pro rata, based on
Certificate Balances, and will not be made in integral multiples of $1,000 or
pursuant to requested distributions or mandatory distributions by random lot.
(h) In the event that Definitive Certificates representing the Class
2-A-4 Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.02(e), an amendment to
this Agreement, which may be approved without the consent of any
Certificateholders, shall establish procedures relating to the manner in which
distributions in reduction of the Class Principal Balance of the Class 2-A-4
Certificates are to be made; provided that such procedures shall be
consistent, to the extent practicable and customary for certificates similar
to the Class 2-A-4 Certificates, with the provisions of this Section 5.03.
80
Section 5.04 Allocation of Losses.
(a) On or prior to each Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator shall aggregate the information provided by each Servicer with
respect to the total amount of Realized Losses, including Excess Losses,
experienced on the Mortgage Loans for the related Distribution Date.
(b) Realized Losses with respect to any Distribution Date shall be
allocated as follows:
(i) the applicable A-P Percentage of any Realized Loss,
including any Excess Loss, on a Mortgage Loan in a Loan Group shall
be allocated to the related Class of Class A-P Certificates, until
the Class Principal Balance thereof is reduced to zero; and
(ii) (A) the applicable Non-A-P Percentage of any Realized Loss
(other than an Excess Loss) shall be allocated first to the
Subordinated Certificates in reverse order of their respective
numerical Class designations (beginning with the Class of
Subordinated Certificates then outstanding with the highest
numerical Class designation) until the respective Class Principal
Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero, and second to the
Senior Certificates (other than the Class 1-A-P or the Class 1-A-X
Certificates or related Class C-A-P or Class C-A-X Component, as
applicable), pro rata on the basis of their respective Class
Principal Balances or, in the case of any Class of Accrual
Certificates or Accrual Component, on the basis of the lesser of
their Class Principal Balance or Component Balance, as applicable,
and their initial Class Principal Balance or Component Balance, as
applicable, in each case immediately prior to the related
Distribution Date until the respective Class Principal Balance of
each such Class is reduced to zero; provided, that any Realized
Losses (other than an Excess Loss) on the Mortgage Loans in Loan
Group 2 otherwise be allocable to the Class 2-A-7 Certificates shall
be allocated to the Class 2-A-6 Certificates, until its Class
Principal Balance is reduced to zero; and
(B) the applicable Non-A-P Percentage of any Excess Losses
on the Mortgage Loans in a Loan Group shall be allocated to the
Classes of Certificates of the related Senior Certificate Group
(other than the Class 1-A-P or the Class 1-A-X Certificates or
related Class C-A-P or Class C-A-X Component, as applicable) and the
Subordinated Certificates then outstanding, pro rata, on the basis
of, with respect to such Senior Certificates, their respective Class
Principal Balances, or in the case of any Class of Accrual
Certificates or Accrual Component, on the basis of the lesser of
their respective Class Principal Balance and their respective initial
Class Principal Balance or their respective Component Balance or
their respective initial Component Balance, as the case may be, in
each case immediately prior to the related Distribution Date and,
with respect to each Class of Subordinated Certificates, the
applicable Assumed Balance for each such Class relating to the Loan
Group in which such Realized Loss occurs; provided, however, on any
Distribution Date after the Senior Termination Date for a Senior
Certificate Group, such Excess Losses on the Mortgage Loans in the
related Loan Group will be allocated to the Subordinated Certificates
on the basis of their respective Class Principal Balances; and
provided further that after the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date,
such Excess Losses shall be allocated pro rata to all Classes and
Components of Senior
81
Certificates (other than the Class 1-A-P or the Class 1-A-X
Certificates or related Class C-A-P or Class C-A-X Component,
as applicable) regardless of Senior Certificate Group on
the basis of their respective initial Class Principal Balances or
Component Balances, as applicable, or in the case of any or in the
case of any Class of Accrual Certificates or Accrual Component, on
the basis of the lesser of their respective Class Principal Balance
and their respective initial Class Principal Balance or their
respective Component Balance or their respective initial Component
Balance, as the case may be, in each case immediately prior to the
related Distribution Date.
(c) The Class Principal Balance of the Class of Subordinated
Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation
shall be reduced on each Distribution Date by the sum of (i) the amount of any
payments on each Class of Class A-P Certificates in respect of related Class
A-P Deferred Amounts and (ii) the amount, if any, by which the aggregate of
the Class Principal Balances of all outstanding Classes of Certificates (after
giving effect to the distribution of principal and the allocation of Realized
Losses and Class A-P Deferred Amounts on such Distribution Date) exceeds the
sum of the Pool Stated Principal Balance for the following Distribution Date.
(d) Any Realized Loss allocated to a Class of Certificates or any
reduction in the Class Principal Balance of a Class of Certificates pursuant
to Section 5.04(b) above shall be allocated among the Certificates of such
Class in proportion to their respective Certificate Balances.
(e) Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Certificate or to any
Component or any reduction in the Certificate Balance of a Certificate,
pursuant to Section 5.04(b) above shall be accomplished by reducing the
Certificate Balance or Component Balance thereof, as applicable, immediately
following the distributions made on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with the definition of "Certificate Balance" or "Component
Balance," as the case may be. All Realized Losses or Excess Losses allocated
to a Class of Component Certificates will be allocated, pro rata, to the
related Components.
(f) Any Realized Loss allocated to the Class 2-A-4 Certificates will
be covered by the Class 2-A-4 Policy. Any payment under the Class 2-A-4 Policy
with respect to a Realized Loss allocated to the Class 2-A-4 Certificates
shall not result in a further reduction to the Class Principal Balance of the
Class 2-A-4 Certificates
Section 5.05 Advances by the Master Servicer and by WMMSC.
(a) If any Servicer other than WMMSC fails to remit any Advance
required to be made under the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the
Master Servicer shall itself make, or shall cause the successor Servicer to
make, such Advance. If the Master Servicer determines that an Advance is
required, it shall on the Business Day preceding the related Distribution Date
immediately following such Determination Date remit to the Securities
Administrator from its own funds (or funds advanced by the applicable
Servicer) for deposit in the Distribution Account immediately available funds
in an amount equal to such Advance. The Master Servicer and each Servicer
(including WMMSC) shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all Advances made by
it. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Master
82
Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that an Advance is
non-recoverable, the Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to make such
Advance. If the Master Servicer determines that an Advance is non-recoverable,
it shall, on or prior to the related Distribution Date, deliver an Officer's
Certificate to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to such effect.
For the avoidance of doubt the Master Servicer is not required to make any
Advance with respect to the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans.
(b) With respect to the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans, WMMSC shall
deposit in the related Custodial Account as Advances an amount equal to all
Scheduled Payments (with interest at the Mortgage Rate less the related
Servicing Fee Rate) which were due on such Mortgage Loans serviced by it
during the applicable Due Period and which were delinquent at the close of
business on the immediately preceding Determination Date. WMMSC's obligation
to make such Advances as to any related Mortgage Loan will continue through
the last Scheduled Payment due prior to the payment in full of such Mortgage
Loan, or through the date that the related Mortgaged Property has, in the
judgment of WMMSC, been completely liquidated. WMMSC shall not be required to
advance shortfalls of principal or interest resulting from the application of
the Relief Act.
With respect to any WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the extent
required by Accepted Servicing Practices, WMMSC shall be obligated to make
Advances in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided,
however, that such obligation with respect to any such WMMSC Serviced Mortgage
Loan shall cease if WMMSC determines, in its reasonable opinion, that Advances
with respect to such Mortgage Loan are or, if made, would constitute
Nonrecoverable Advances. In the event that WMMSC determines that any such
Advances are or, if made, would constitute Nonrecoverable Advances, WMMSC
shall provide the Securities Administrator with a certificate signed by a
Servicing Officer evidencing such determination.
With respect to any of the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans, if an
Advance is required to be made hereunder by WMMSC, WMMSC shall on the
Distribution Account Deposit Date either (i) deposit in the Custodial Account
from its own funds an amount equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an
appropriate entry in the records of the Custodial Account that funds in such
account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as
permitted by this Section 5.05(b), used by WMMSC to make such Advance or (iii)
make Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii)
aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any such funds being held in a
Custodial Account for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by
WMMSC from its own funds by deposit in such Custodial Account on or before any
future Distribution Date in which such funds would be due.
Section 5.06 Compensating Interest Payments.
The amount of compensation payable to the Securities Administrator in
respect of the Master Serviced Mortgage Loans and any Distribution Date shall
be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of any aggregate Compensating
Interest Payment from the Servicers (other than WMMSC) for such Distribution
Date, but only to the extent that Prepayment Interest Shortfalls relating to
such Distribution Date are required to be paid by the Servicers (other than
WMMSC) pursuant to the Purchase and Servicing Agreements, as amended by the
83
Acknowledgements, but are not actually paid by the Servicer. Such amount shall
not be treated as an Advance and shall not be reimbursable.
Section 5.07 Policy Matters; Payments to the Certificate Insurer.
(a) If, on the third Business Day before any Distribution Date, the
Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, determines that the
Available Funds for such Distribution Date distributable to the Holders of the
Class 2-A-4 Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02, will be insufficient to pay
the Required Distributions on such Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall determine the amount of any
such deficiency and shall give notice to the Certificate Insurer and the
Fiscal Agent (as defined in the Class 2-A-4 Policy), if any, by telephone or
telecopy of the amount of such deficiency, confirmed in writing by notice
substantially in the form of Exhibit A to the Class 2-A-4 Policy by 12:00
noon, New York City time on such third Business Day. The Securities
Administrator's responsibility for delivering the notice to the Certificate
Insurer as provided in the preceding sentence is limited to the availability,
timeliness and accuracy of the information provided to the Securities
Administrator by the Master Servicer and the Servicers.
(b) In the event the Trustee or the Securities Administrator receives
a certified copy of an order of the appropriate court that any scheduled
payment of principal or interest on a Class 2-A-4 Certificate has been voided
in whole or in part as a preference payment under applicable bankruptcy law,
if the Securities Administrator receives such notice (or if the Trustee
receives such notice the Trustee shall notify the Securities Administrator),
the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall (i) promptly
notify Certificate Insurer and the Fiscal Agent, if any, and (ii) comply with
the provisions of the Class 2-A-4 Policy to obtain payment by Certificate
Insurer of such voided scheduled payment. In addition, the Securities
Administrator shall mail notice to all Holders of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates
so affected that, in the event that any such Holder's scheduled payment is so
recovered, such Holder will be entitled to payment pursuant to the terms of
the Class 2-A-4 Policy a copy of which shall be made available to such Holders
by the Securities Administrator. The Securities Administrator shall furnish to
the Certificate Insurer and the Fiscal Agent, if any, its records listing the
payments on the affected Class 2-A-4 Certificates, if any, that have been made
by the Securities Administrator and subsequently recovered from the affected
Holders, and the dates on which such payments were made by the Securities
Administrator.
(c) At the time of the execution hereof, and for the purposes hereof,
the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee shall establish a
separate special purpose trust account in the name of the Trustee for the
benefit of Holders of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates (the "Certificate Insurance
Account") over which the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall have
exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal. The Certificate Insurance
Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Securities Administrator shall
deposit any amount paid under the Class 2-A-4 Policy into the Certificate
Insurance Account and distribute such amount only for the purposes of making
the payments to Holders of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates in respect of the
Required Distribution for which the related claim was made under the Class
2-A-4 Policy. Such amounts shall be allocated by the Securities Administrator
to Holders of Class 2-A-4 Certificates affected by such shortfalls in the same
manner as principal and interest payments are to be allocated with respect to
such Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02. It shall not be necessary for
84
such payments to be made by checks or wire transfers separated from the checks
or wire transfers used to make regular payments hereunder with funds withdrawn
from the Distribution Account. However, any payments made on the Class 2-A-4
Certificates from funds in the Certificate Insurance Account shall be noted as
provided in subsection (e) below. Funds held in the Certificate Insurance
Account shall not be invested by the Securities Administrator or the Trustee.
(d) Any funds received from Certificate Insurer for deposit into the
Certificate Insurance Account pursuant to the Class 2-A-4 Policy in respect of
a Distribution Date or otherwise as a result of any claim under the Class
2-A-4 Policy shall be applied by the Securities Administrator directly to the
payment in full (i) of the Required Distribution due on such Distribution Date
on the Class 2-A-4 Certificates, or (ii) of other amounts payable under the
Class 2-A-4 Policy. Funds received by the Securities Administrator as a result
of any claim under the Class 2-A-4 Policy shall be used solely for payment to
the Holders of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates and may not be applied for any
other purpose, including, without limitation, satisfaction of any costs,
expenses or liabilities of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the
Master Servicer, WMMSC or the Trust Fund. Any funds remaining in the
Certificate Insurance Account on the first Business Day after each
Distribution Date shall be remitted promptly to the Certificate Insurer in
accordance with the instructions set forth in Section 5.07(n).
(e) The Securities Administrator shall keep complete and accurate
records in respect of (i) all funds remitted to it by Certificate Insurer and
deposited into the Certificate Insurance Account and (ii) the allocation of
such funds to (A) payments of interest on and principal in respect of any
Class 2-A-4 Certificates, (B) Realized Losses allocated to the Class 2-A-4
Certificates and (C) the amount of funds available to make distributions on
the Class 2-A-4 Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02. The Certificate Insurer
shall have the right to inspect such records at reasonable times during normal
business hours upon three Business Days' prior notice to the Securities
Administrator.
(f) The Securities Administrator acknowledges, and each Holder of a
Class 2-A-4 Certificate by its acceptance of the Class 2-A-4 Certificate
agrees, that, without the need for any further action on the part of the
Certificate Insurer or the Securities Administrator, to the extent the
Certificate Insurer makes payments, directly or indirectly, on account of
principal of or interest on any Class 2-A-4 Certificates, the Certificate
Insurer will be fully subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Class
2-A-4 Certificates to receive such principal and interest from the Trust Fund.
The Holders of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates, by acceptance of the Class 2-A-4
Certificates, assign their rights as Holders of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates
to the extent of the Certificate Insurer's interest with respect to amounts
paid under the Class 2-A-4 Policy. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, solely for purposes of determining the Certificate Insurer's
rights, as applicable, as subrogee for payments distributable pursuant to
Section 5.02, any payment with respect to distributions to the Class 2-A-4
Certificates which is made with funds received pursuant to the terms of the
Class 2-A-4 Policy, shall not be considered payment of the Class 2-A-4
Certificates from the Trust Fund and shall not result in the distribution or
the provision for the distribution in reduction of the Class Principal Balance
of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates within the meaning of Article V.
85
(g) Upon its becoming aware of the occurrence of an Event of Default,
the Securities Administrator shall promptly notify the Certificate Insurer of
such Event of Default.
(h) The Securities Administrator shall promptly notify Certificate
Insurer of either of the following as to which it has actual knowledge: (A)
the commencement of any proceeding by or against the Depositor commenced under
the United States bankruptcy code or any other applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership, rehabilitation or similar law (an "Insolvency
Proceeding") and (B) the making of any claim in connection with any Insolvency
Proceeding seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer (a "Preference
Claim") of any distribution made with respect to the Class 2-A-4 Certificates
as to which it has actual knowledge. Each Holder of a Class 2-A-4 Certificate,
by its purchase of Class 2-A-4 Certificates, and the Securities Administrator
hereby agrees that the Certificate Insurer (so long as no Certificate Insurer
Default exists) may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding
relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference
Claim, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any
order relating to any Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety,
supersedeas or performance bond pending any such appeal. In addition and
without limitation of the foregoing, the Certificate Insurer shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Securities Administrator and each Holder of a
Class 2-A-4 Certificate in the conduct of any Preference Claim, including,
without limitation, all rights of any party to an adversary proceeding action
with respect to any court order issued in connection with any such Preference
Claim.
(i) The Master Servicer and WMMSC shall each designate a Certificate
Insurer Contact Person who shall be available to the Certificate Insurer to
provide reasonable access to information regarding the Mortgage Loans. The
initial Certificate Insurer Contact Person from the Master Servicer is Client
Manager -- Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx 2004-3, and the initial Certificate Insurer Contact
Person from WMMSC is Xxxxxxxx Xxx, (000) 000-0000.
(j) The Trustee or the Securities Administrator on behalf of the
Trustee shall surrender the Class 2-A-4 Policy to the Certificate Insurer for
cancellation upon the reduction of the Class Principal Balance of the Class
2-A-4 Certificates to zero.
(k) The Securities Administrator shall send to the Certificate
Insurer the reports prepared pursuant to Sections 4.05, 6.17 and 6.20, as well
as any other statements or communications sent to Holders of the Class 2-A-4
Certificates, in each case at the same time such reports, statements and
communications are otherwise sent.
(l) For so long as there is no continuing default by the Certificate
Insurer under its obligations under the Class 2-A-4 Policy (a "Certificate
Insurer Default"), each Holder of a Class 2-A-4 Certificate agrees that the
Certificate Insurer shall be treated by the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee, WMMSC and the Securities Administrator as if the Certificate
Insurer were the Holder of all of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates for the purpose
(and solely for the purpose) of the giving of any consent, the making of any
direction or the exercise of any voting or other control rights otherwise
given to the Holders of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates hereunder.
(m) With respect to this Section 5.07, (i) the terms "Receipt" and
"Received" shall mean actual delivery to the Certificate Insurer and the
Certificate Insurer's Fiscal Agent, if any,
86
if any, prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day; delivery
either on a day that is not a Business Day or after 12:00 noon, New York
City time, shall be deemed to be Receipt on the next succeeding Business
Day. If any notice or certificate given under the Class 2-A-4 Policy by the
Securities Administrator is not in proper form or is not properly completed,
executed or delivered, it shall be deemed not to have been Received. The
Certificate Insurer or its Fiscal Agent, if any, shall promptly so advise the
Securities Administrator and the Securities Administrator may submit an
amended notice and (ii) "Business Day" means any day other than (A) a Saturday
or Sunday or (B) a day on which the Certificate Insurer or banking
institutions in the City of New York, New York, or the city in which the
Corporate Trust Offices of the Securities Administrator and the Trustee are
located, are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed.
(n) Payments to the Certificate Insurer shall be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the following account, unless the
Certificate Insurer notifies the Securities Administrator in writing of a
change in such instructions: Account Name: MBIA Insurance Corporation, Account
Number 000-0-000000, Bank - JPMorgan Chase Bank, ABA Number 000-000-000, Re:
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx MSM 2004-3 - Policy No. 44184 - Class 2-A-4 Certificates.
Section 5.08 Cross-Collateralization; Adjustments to Available Funds.
(a) On each Distribution Date prior to the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, but after the date on which the aggregate Class Principal
Balance of the Senior Certificates in a Certificate Group (other than the
related Class of Class A-P Certificates) has been reduced to zero, the
Securities Administrator shall distribute the principal portion of Available
Funds on the Mortgage Loans relating to the Senior Certificates that will have
been paid in full to the holders of the Senior Certificates of the other
Certificate Groups.
(b) If on any Distribution Date the aggregate Class Principal Balance
of the Senior Certificates of a Senior Certificate Group (other than any
related Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component thereof) after giving
effect to distributions to be made on that Distribution Date, is greater than
the Non-A-P Pool Balance for that Loan Group (any such group, an
"Undercollateralized Group"), all amounts otherwise distributable as principal
to the Subordinated Certificates (or, following the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, the amounts described in the following sentence) will be
distributed as principal to the Senior Certificates of that
Undercollateralized Group (other than any related Class of Class A-P
Certificates or Component thereof) until the aggregate Class Principal Balance
of the Senior Certificate Group (other than any related Class of Class A-P
Certificates or Component thereof) of the Undercollateralized Group equals the
Non-A-P Pool Balance for that Loan Group (such distribution, an
"Undercollateralization Distribution"). If a Senior Certificate Group (other
than any related Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component thereof)
constitutes an Undercollateralized Group on any Distribution Date following
the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, Undercollateralization Distributions
will be made from the excess of the Available Funds for the other Loan Groups
remaining after all required amounts for that Distribution Date have been
distributed to those Senior Certificate Groups (other than any related Class
of Class A-P Certificates or Component thereof). If more than one
Undercollateralized Group on any Distribution Date is entitled to an
Undercollateralization Distribution, such Undercollateralization Distribution
will be allocated among the Undercollateralized Groups, pro
87
rata, based upon the amount by which the aggregate Class Principal Balance
of each Class of Senior Certificates in such Senior Certificate Group
(other than any related Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component thereof)
exceeds the sum of the Non-A-P Balances for the related Undercollateralized
Group. If more than one Senior Certificate Group on any Distribution Date is
required to make an Undercollateralization Distribution to an
Undercollateralized Group, the payment of such Undercollateralization
Distributions will be allocated among such Senior Certificate Groups (other
than any related Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component thereof), pro
rata, based upon the aggregate excess of the Available Funds for the Senior
Certificate Groups other than the Undercollateralized Group remaining after
all required amounts for that Distribution Date have been distributed to those
Senior Certificates.
(c) On each Distribution Date after the first Senior Termination Date
but prior to the earlier of the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date and the
third Senior Termination Date, the Non-A-P Formula Principal Amount for the
Loan Group relating to the Senior Certificate Group that has been paid in
full, will be distributed to the other Senior Certificate Groups (other than
any related Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component thereof), so that
each remaining Senior Certificate Group receives its pro rata portion thereof.
If principal from one Loan Group is distributed to the Senior Certificate
Groups (other than any related Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component
thereof) that are not related to that Loan Group according to this paragraph,
the Subordinated Certificates will not receive that principal as a
distribution.
Section 5.09 Determination of Pass-Through Rates for LIBOR
Certificates.
(a) On each Interest Determination Date so long as any LIBOR
Certificates are outstanding, the Securities Administrator will determine
LIBOR on the basis of the British Bankers' Association ("BBA") "Interest
Settlement Rate" for one-month deposits in U.S. dollars as found on Telerate
page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. London time on each LIBOR Determination Date.
"Telerate Page 3750" means the display page currently so designated on the
Moneyline Telerate Service (formerly the Dow Xxxxx Markets) (or such other
page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying
comparable rates or prices).
(b) If on any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR cannot be determined
as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 5.09, the Securities
Administrator shall either (i) request each Reference Bank to inform the
Securities Administrator of the quotation offered by its principal London
office for making one-month United States dollar deposits in leading banks in
the London interbank market, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Interest
Determination Date or (ii) in lieu of making any such request, rely on such
Reference Bank quotations that appear at such time on the Reuters Screen LIBO
Page (as defined in the International Swap Dealers Association Inc. Code of
Standard Wording, Assumptions and Provisions for Swaps, 1986 Edition), to the
extent available. LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period will be
established by the Securities Administrator on each interest Determination
Date as follows:
(i) If on any Interest Determination Date two or more Reference
Banks provide such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next applicable
Interest Accrual Period shall be the arithmetic mean of such offered
quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean upwards if necessary to
the nearest whole multiple of 1/32%).
88
(ii) If on any Interest Determination Date only one or none of
the Reference Banks provides such offered quotations, LIBOR for the
next Interest Accrual Period shall be whichever is the higher of (i)
LIBOR as determined on the previous Interest Determination Date or
(ii) the Reserve Interest Rate. The "Reserve Interest Rate" shall be
the rate per annum which the Securities Administrator determines to
be either (i) the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards if necessary to
the nearest whole multiple of 1/32%) of the one-month United States
dollar lending rates that New York City banks selected by the
Securities Administrator are quoting, on the relevant Interest
Determination Date, to the principal London offices of at least two
of the Reference Banks to which such quotations are, in the opinion
of the Securities Administrator, being so made, or (ii) in the event
that the Securities Administrator can determine no such arithmetic
mean, the lowest one-month United States dollar lending rate which
New York City banks selected by the Securities Administrator are
quoting on such Interest Determination Date to leading European
banks.
(iii) If on any Interest Determination Date the Securities
Administrator is required but is unable to determine the Reserve
Interest Rate in the manner provided in paragraph (b) above, LIBOR
for the related Classes of Certificates shall be LIBOR as determined
on the preceding applicable Interest Determination Date.
Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Securities
Administrator will at all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the
purpose of determining LIBOR with respect to each Interest Determination Date.
The Securities Administrator initially shall designate the Reference Banks.
Each "Reference Bank" shall be a leading bank engaged in transactions in
Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurocurrency market, shall not
control, be controlled by, or be under common control with, the Securities
Administrator and shall have an established place of business in London. If
any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable to act as such or if the
Master Servicer should terminate its appointment as Reference Bank, the
Securities Administrator shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed
another Reference Bank. The Securities Administrator shall have no liability
or responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank
for purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain at least
four Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable
control.
(c) The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for
each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Securities
Administrator on each Interest Determination Date so long as the LIBOR
Certificates are outstanding on the basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae
appearing in footnotes corresponding to the LIBOR Certificates in the table
relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary Statement.
(d) In determining LIBOR, any Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR
Certificates, any Interest Settlement Rate, or any Reserve Interest Rate, the
Securities Administrator may conclusively rely and shall be protected in
relying upon the offered quotations (whether written, oral or on the Dow Xxxxx
Markets) from the BBA designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York
City banks as to LIBOR, the Interest Settlement Rate or the Reserve Interest
Rate, as appropriate, in effect from time to time. The Securities
Administrator shall not have any liability or responsibility to any Person for
(i) the selection of New York City banks for purposes of
89
determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its inability, following a
good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations from, the BBA
designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City banks or to
determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this Section 5.09.
(e) The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the
LIBOR Certificates by the Securities Administrator shall (in the absence of
manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a
Certificate and the Securities Administrator.

ARTICLE VI
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND
THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR; EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 6.01 Duties of Trustee and the Securities Administrator.
(a) The Trustee, except during the continuance of an Event of
Default, and the Securities Administrator undertakes to perform such duties
and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Any
permissive right of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator provided for
in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty of the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator. If an Event of Default has occurred and has not
otherwise been cured or waived, the Trustee or the Securities 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, unless the Trustee is acting as master servicer, in
which case it shall use the same degree of care and skill (in its capacity as
successor Master Servicer) as a master servicer hereunder.
(b) Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon
receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports,
documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator which are specifically required to be furnished
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine
whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however,
that neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible
for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement,
opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Master
Servicer or any Servicer to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not be required to recalculate or verify
any numerical information furnished to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to the immediately preceding
sentence, if any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report,
document, order or other instrument is found not to conform to the form
required by this Agreement in a material manner the Securities Administrator
shall take such action as it deems appropriate to cause the instrument to be
corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Securities
Administrator 's satisfaction, the Securities Administrator will provide
notice thereof to the Certificateholders and will, at the expense of the Trust
Fund, which expense shall be reasonable given the scope and nature of the
required action, take such further action as directed by the
Certificateholders.
(c) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have
any liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, except for
its negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator shall be liable for special, indirect or consequential losses or
damages of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits).

the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan, or related document save that the

location of the Trustee, or (iv) the continued use of the Trustee or
Securities Administrator would result in a downgrading of the rating by any

holding title to, foreclosing or otherwise taking action with respect to any
Mortgage Loan outside the state where the Trustee has its principal place of
business where such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable
(or the Trustee has been advised by the Master Servicer that such separate
trustee or
98
co-trustee is necessary or advisable) under the laws of any state in
which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or for the purpose of
otherwise conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any
state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or in any state
in which any portion of the Trust Fund is located. The separate Trustees,
co-trustees, or custodians so appointed shall be trustees or custodians for
the benefit of all the Certificateholders and shall have such powers, rights
and remedies as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment; provided,
however, that no such appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the
appointee an agent of the Trustee. The obligation of the Master Servicer to
make Advances pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof shall not be affected or
assigned by the appointment of a co-trustee.
(b) Every separate trustee, co-trustee, and custodian shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following
provisions and conditions:
(i) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon
the Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of moneys
shall be exercised solely by the Trustee;
(ii) all other 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,
co-trustee, or custodian jointly, except to the extent that under
any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are
to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties
and obligations, including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or
any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction, shall be exercised and
performed by such separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian;
(iii) no trustee or custodian hereunder shall be personally
liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee or
custodian hereunder; and
(iv) the Trustee may at any time, by an instrument in writing
executed by it, with the concurrence of the Depositor, accept the
resignation of or remove any separate trustee, co-trustee or
custodian, so appointed by it or them, if such resignation or
removal does not violate the other terms of this Agreement.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall
be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall refer to this
Agreement and the conditions of this Article VI. Each separate trustee and
co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with
the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either
jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to
all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision
of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or
affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed
with the Trustee and a copy given to the Master Servicer.
99

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, co-trustee or custodian 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.
(e) No separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section
6.05 hereunder and no notice to the Certificateholders of the appointment
shall be required under Section 6.07 hereof.
(f) The Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee agrees to
instruct the co-trustees, if any, to the extent necessary to fulfill the
Trustee's obligations hereunder.
(g) The Trust shall pay the reasonable compensation of the
co-trustees (which compensation shall not reduce any compensation payable to
the Trustee under such Section).

Certificates. The Securities Administrator is hereby appointed as initial
Authenticating Agent, and the Securities Administrator accepts such

authentication of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of
authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on
behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of
authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.
Each Authenticating Agent must be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such

shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of
any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
(c) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at
least 30 days' advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the
Depositor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any

Authenticating Agent and the Depositor. Upon receiving a notice of resignation
or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section
6.10, the Trustee may appoint a successor authenticating agent, shall give
written notice of such appointment to the Depositor and shall mail notice of
such appointment to all Holders of Certificates. Any successor authenticating
100
agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with
all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent. No
successor authenticating agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section 6.10. No Authenticating Agent shall have
responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the
direction of the Trustee.

Administrator.

directors, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to indemnification

limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (and, in the case of
the Trustee, in connection with the Custodial Agreements, Purchase and
Servicing Agreements or Acknowledgements, including the reasonable
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents or counsel),
incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their part, arising out
of, or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of the trusts
created hereunder or in connection with the performance of their duties
hereunder including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any
claim in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or
duties hereunder, provided that:
(i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall have given the

Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall have knowledge
thereof;

Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall
cooperate and consult fully with the Depositor in preparing such
defense; and

6.11, the Trust Fund shall not be liable for settlement of any such
claim by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable,
entered into without the prior consent of the Depositor, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive any termination of
this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, and shall be construed to include, but not be
limited to any loss, liability or expense under any environmental law.
Section 6.12 Fees and Expenses of Securities Administrator and the

Master Servicer. Any expenses incurred by the Trustee or the Custodian shall
be reimbursed in accordance with Section 6.11.

the Trustee shall hold all such money and property received by it as part of
the Trust Fund and shall distribute it as provided in this Agreement.

marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for
the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been
entered against the Master Servicer, and such decree or order shall
have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60

hereof shall prove to be incorrect as of the time made in any
respect that materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders, and the circumstance or condition in respect of
which such representation or warranty was incorrect shall not have

have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, or to the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee by the Holders of more than 50% of the
Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates; or
(viii) A sale or pledge of any of the rights of the Master
Servicer hereunder or an assignment of this Agreement by the Master
Servicer or a delegation of the rights or duties of the Master
Servicer hereunder shall have occurred in any manner not otherwise
permitted hereunder and without the prior written consent of the

Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates; or
(ix) After receipt of notice from the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, any failure of the Master Servicer to make any

and shall, if so directed by Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of
the Class Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates, terminate all of
the respective rights and obligations of the Master Servicer, hereunder and in

and power of the Master Servicer and with respect to the Master Servicer only
in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect
to the Master Serviced Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be
vested in the Trustee; and the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the defaulting Master Servicer as
103
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments,
and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to
effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the
transfer and endorsement or assignment of the affected Mortgage Loans and
related documents or otherwise. The defaulting Master Servicer agrees to
cooperate with the Trustee and the Securities Administrator in effecting the
termination of the defaulting Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights
hereunder as Master Servicer which includes, without limitation, notifying the
Servicers of the assignment of the master servicing function and providing the
Trustee or its designee all documents and records in electronic or other form
reasonably requested by it to enable the Trustee or its designee to assume the
defaulting Master Servicer's functions hereunder and the transfer to the

any terminated Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to reimbursement
under this Agreement to the extent such reimbursement relates to the period
prior to such Master Servicer's termination.
II. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall
constitute an "Event of Default" with respect to WMMSC:
(i) any failure by WMMSC to remit to the Certificateholders or

of the Voting Interests evidenced by the Certificates; or
(ii) any failure by WMMSC to observe or perform in any material
respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of WMMSC
contained in this Agreement (except as set forth in (iii) and (vii)

(i) materially affects the rights of the Certificateholders and (ii)

by the Securities Administrator or the Depositor, or to WMMSC and the
Securities Administrator by the Holders of Certificates evidencing
not less than 25% of the Voting Interests evidenced by the
Certificates; or
104
(iii) if a representation or warranty set forth in Section 9.03
hereof made by WMMSC shall prove to be materially incorrect as of the
time made in any respect that materially and adversely affects
interests of the Certificateholders, and the circumstances or
condition in respect of which such representation or warranty was
incorrect shall not have been eliminated or cured within 90 days
after the date on which written notice thereof shall have been given
to WMMSC and Seller by the Securities Administrator for the benefit
of the Certificateholders or by the Depositor; or
(iv) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of
a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its
affairs, shall have been entered against WMMSC and such decree or
order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a
period of 60 days; or
(v) WMMSC shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or

debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage
of, or commence a voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency or
reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(vii) any failure of WMMSC to make any Advance in the manner
and at the time required to be made from its own funds pursuant to
this Agreement or the WMMSC Purchase and Servicing Agreement, which
failure continues unremedied after 5 p.m., New York City time, on the
Business Day immediately following WMMSC's receipt of such notice.
If an Event of Default due to the actions or inaction of WMMSC
described in clauses (i) through (vii) of this Section shall occur, then, and
in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have
been remedied, the Securities Administrator shall at the direction of the
Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interests
evidenced by the Certificates, by notice in writing to the Securities
Administrator or WMMSC (with a copy to the Rating Agencies), terminate all of
the rights and obligations of WMMSC under this Agreement (other than rights to
reimbursement for Advances and Servicing Advances previously made, as provided
in Section 3.08) and the WMMSC Purchase and Servicing Agreement.
If an Event of Default described in clause (vii) shall occur, the

succeed to the rights and obligations of WMMSC hereunder and under the WMMSC
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, including the obligation to make Advances on
such succeeding Distribution Date pursuant to the terms hereof.
105
If any Event of Default under I. or II. shall occur, the Trustee,
upon a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becoming aware of the occurrence
thereof, shall promptly notify the Securities Administrator and each Rating
Agency of the nature and extent of such Event of Default. The Securities
Administrator shall immediately give written notice to the Master Servicer or
WMMSC upon the respective failure of the Master Servicer or WMMSC to make
Advances as required under this Agreement with a copy to the Trustee.
(b) On and after the time the Master Servicer or WMMSC receives a
notice of termination from the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, pursuant to Section 6.14(a) or the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, receives the resignation of the Master Servicer
or WMMSC evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 9.06, the
Trustee, unless another master servicer shall have been appointed, shall be
the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer, and the Securities
Administrator shall be the successor (or appoint a successor) to WMMSC, as
applicable, in its capacity as such under this Agreement (and, in the case, of
WMMSC, the related Purchase and Servicing Agreements) and the transactions set
forth or provided for herein and shall have all the rights and powers and be
subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto
and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable,
hereunder, including the obligation to make any related Advances; provided,
however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by
the failure of the Master Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, to provide
information required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, hereunder. In
addition, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator, as applicable,
shall have any responsibility for any act or omission of the Master Servicer
or WMMSC, as applicable, prior to the issuance of any notice of termination.
Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall
have any liability relating to the respective representations and warranties
of the Master Servicer and WMMSC set forth in Section 9.03. In the capacity as
such successor, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable,
shall have the same respective limitations on liability herein granted to the
Master Servicer and to WMMSC, as applicable. As compensation for being the
successor master servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive all
compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement. As
compensation for being the successor servicer with respect to the WMMSC
Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to
receive all compensation payable to WMMSC under this Agreement, including the
applicable Servicing Fee, commencing upon the date on which the Securities
Administrator (or any other successor Servicer) contractually undertakes
WMMSC's duties hereunder (including the date on which the Securities
Administrator (or other successor Servicer) makes any Advance). Any successor
to the Master Servicer hereunder also may assume the obligations of the
Securities Administrator hereunder and as successor in such capacity shall be
entitled to the compensation payable to the Securities Administrator pursuant
to Section 4.02 hereof from and after the date of such assumption.
(c) Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, may, if it shall be unwilling to continue to so
act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, or appoint on its own behalf any established housing
and home finance institution servicer, master servicer, servicing or mortgage
servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and
meeting such other standards for a successor master servicer or servicer, as
applicable, as are set forth in this Agreement, as the
106
successor to such Master Servicer or to WMMSC, as applicable, in the
assumption of all of the respective responsibilities, duties or liabilities
of, (x) with respect to replacing the Master Servicer, a master servicer, like
the Master Servicer and (y) with respect to replacing WMMSC, a servicer, like
WMMSC. Any entity designated by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
as applicable, as a successor master servicer or successor servicer, as
applicable, may be an Affiliate of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable; provided, however, that, unless such Affiliate
meets the net worth requirements and other standards set forth herein for a
successor master servicer, the Trustee, in its individual capacity shall
agree, at the time of such designation, to be and remain liable to the Trust
Fund for such Affiliate's actions and omissions in performing its duties
hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator, as applicable, may make such arrangements for
the compensation of such successor out of payments on the related Mortgage
Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such
compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Master Servicer or to
WMMSC, as applicable, hereunder. The Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
as applicable, and such successor shall take such actions, consistent with
this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession and
may make other arrangements with respect to the servicing to be conducted
hereunder which are not inconsistent herewith. Each of the Master Servicer and
WMMSC shall cooperate with the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, and any successor master servicer or servicer in effecting the
termination of their respective responsibilities and rights hereunder
including, without limitation, notifying the Servicer or the related
Mortgagors of the assignment of the master servicing or servicing functions
and providing the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, and
successor master servicer or successor servicer, as applicable, all documents
and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable
it to assume the Master Servicer's or WMMSC's respective functions hereunder
and the transfer to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, or such successor all amounts which shall at the time be or should
have been deposited (x) by the Master Servicer in the Distribution Account or
any related Custodial Account, and (y) by WMMSC in any related Custodial
Account, plus, in each case, any other account or fund maintained with respect
to the Certificates or thereafter be received with respect to the related
Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, nor any other successor, as applicable, shall be deemed to be in
default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making,
any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of
the Master Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, to deliver, or any delay in
delivering, cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure of the Master
Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, to cooperate as required by this Agreement,
(iii) the failure of the Master Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, to deliver
the related Mortgage Loan data as required by this Agreement or (iv)
restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the
Master Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable. No successor master servicer or
successor servicer as applicable, shall be deemed to be in default hereunder
by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution
hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Securities
Administrator to deliver, or any delay in delivering cash, documents or
records to it related to such distribution, or (ii) the failure of Trustee or
the Securities Administrator to cooperate as required by this Agreement.

Section 6.15 Additional Remedies of Trustee Upon Event of Default.
During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event
of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the
rights specified in Section 6.14, shall have the right, in its own name and as
trustee of the Trust Fund, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at
law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect
the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders
(including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and
other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection
therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no
remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy,
and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other
remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair
any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of
Default.
Section 6.16 Waiver of Defaults.
More than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the
Certificateholders may waive any default or Event of Default by the Master
Servicer or WMMSC, respectively, in the performance of its obligations
hereunder, except that a default in the making of any required deposit to the
Distribution Account that would result in a failure of the Securities
Administrator or the Paying Agent to make any required payment of principal of
or interest on the Certificates may only be waived with the consent of 100% of
the affected Certificateholders. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such
default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right
consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
Section 6.17 Notification to Holders.
Upon termination of the Master Servicer or WMMSC or appointment of a
successor to the Master Servicer or WMMSC, in each case as provided herein,
the Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof by first class mail to the
Securities Administrator, the Certificate Insurer and the Certificateholders
at their respective addresses appearing on the Certificate Register. The
Trustee shall also, within 45 days after the occurrence of any Event of
Default known to the Trustee, give written notice thereof to the Securities
Administrator, the Certificate Insurer and the Certificateholders, unless such
Event of Default shall have been cured or waived prior to the issuance of such
notice and within such 45-day period.

continuance of any Event of Default, Holders of Certificates evidencing not
less than 25% of the Class Principal Balance (or Percentage Interest) of each
Class of Certificates affected thereby may direct the time, method and place
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to
pursue any such remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts
108
or powers vested in it by this Agreement (including, without limitation,
(i) the conducting or defending of any administrative action or litigation
hereunder or in relation hereto and (ii) the terminating of (a) the
Master Servicer or any successor master servicer from its rights and duties as
master servicer hereunder) and (b) WMMSC or any successor servicer to WMMSC
from its rights and duties as a servicer hereunder) at the request, order or
direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders
shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it against the cost, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby; and, provided further, that, subject to the
provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to
follow any such direction if the Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of
Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully
be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or
proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability for which it is
not indemnified to its satisfaction.
Section 6.19 Action Upon Certain Failures of the Master Servicer or
WMMSC and Upon Event of Default.
In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
actual knowledge or written notice of any action or inaction of the Master
Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, that would become an Event of Default for
the Master Servicer or WMMSC, upon the failure of the Master Servicer or
WMMSC, as applicable, to remedy the same after notice, the Trustee shall give
notice thereof to the Master Servicer or to WMMSC, as applicable.
Section 6.20 Preparation of Tax Returns and Other Reports.
(a) The Securities Administrator shall prepare or cause to be
prepared on behalf of the Trust Fund, based upon information calculated in
accordance with this Agreement pursuant to instructions given by the
Depositor, and the Securities Administrator shall file federal tax returns,
all in accordance with Article X hereof. If the Securities Administrator is
notified in writing that a state tax return or other return is required, then,
at the sole expense of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator shall
prepare and file such state income tax returns and such other returns as may
be required by applicable law relating to the Trust Fund, and, if required by
state law, shall file any other documents to the extent required by applicable
state tax law (to the extent such documents are in the Securities
Administrator's possession). The Securities Administrator shall forward copies
to the Depositor of all such returns and Form 1099 supplemental tax
information and such other information within the control of the Securities
Administrator as the Depositor may reasonably request in writing, and shall
forward to each Certificateholder such forms and furnish such information
within the control of the Securities Administrator as are required by the Code
and the REMIC Provisions to be furnished to them, and will prepare and forward
to Certificateholders Form 1099 (supplemental tax information) (or otherwise
furnish information within the control of the Securities Administrator) to the
extent required by applicable law.

Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), on behalf of the Trust Fund and each REMIC
created hereunder, an application for an employer identification number on IRS
Form SS-4 or by any other acceptable method. The Securities Administrator

receipt from the IRS of the Notice of Taxpayer Identification Number
109
Assigned, shall upon request promptly forward a copy of such notice to
the Trustee and the Depositor. The Securities Administrator shall furnish
any other information that is required by the Code and regulations thereunder
to be made available to the Certificateholders. WMMSC hereby agrees that it
shall, and the Master Servicer agrees that it shall cause each other Servicer
to, provide the Securities Administrator with such information related to the
Mortgage Loans in the possession of WMMSC or the other Servicer, as
applicable, as may reasonably be required for the Securities Administrator to
prepare such reports. The Master Servicer will indemnify the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee for any liability of or assessment against the
Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, resulting from any
error in any of such tax or information returns directly resulting from errors
in the information provided by the Master Servicer. WMMSC will indemnify the
Securities Administrator for any liability of or assessment against the
Securities Administrator resulting from any error in any of such tax or
information returns directly resulting from errors in the information provided
by WMMSC.

Administrator shall, on behalf of the Trust and in accordance with industry
standards, file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (XXXXX), a Form 8-K

March 30 of each year), the Securities Administrator shall, on behalf of the
Trust and in accordance with industry standards, prepare and file with the
Commission via XXXXX a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund. In addition,
the Depositor will cause its senior officer in charge of securitization to

Depositor will execute and return the signed Form 10-K Certification and Form
10-K to the Securities Administrator on no later than March 20 of each year
and the Securities Administrator shall file the same with the Commission prior
to Xxxxx 00, 0000 (xxx, if applicable, prior to March 30 of each year). To the
extent any information or exhibits required to be included in the Form 10-K
are not timely received by the Securities Administrator prior to March 30, the
Securities Administrator shall, on behalf of the Trust, prepare, forward to
the Depositor for execution and, upon receipt thereof, the Securities
Administrator will file one or more amended Form 10-Ks to include such missing
information or exhibits promptly after receipt thereof by the Securities
Administrator. Promptly following the first date legally permissible under
applicable regulations and interpretations of the Commission, the Securities
Administrator shall, on behalf of the Trust and in accordance with industry
standards, file with the Commission via XXXXX a Form 15 Suspension
Notification with respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable. The Master
Servicer agrees to furnish to the Securities Administrator promptly, from time
to time upon request, such further information, reports and financial
statements within its control related to this Agreement and the Master
Serviced Mortgage Loans as the Securities Administrator reasonably deems
appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission.
WMMSC agrees to furnish to the Securities Administrator and to the Depositor
promptly, from time to time upon request, such further loan-level information,
reports and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement
and the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans as the Securities Administrator or the
Depositor, as applicable, reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all
necessary reports with the Commission. The Securities Administrator shall have
no responsibility to file any items with the Commission other than those
specified in this section.
110
(d) If requested by the Depositor, an officer of the Securities
Administrator and the Master Servicer shall sign a certification (in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit D) for the benefit of the Person(s) signing the
Form 10-K Certification regarding certain aspects of such Form 10-K
Certification (provided, however, that the Securities Administrator will not
be required to undertake an analysis of any accountant's report(s) attached as
an exhibit to the Form 10-K). In addition, if requested by the Depositor, an
officer of WMMSC shall sign a certification (in the form attached to the WMMSC
Purchase and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit A) for the benefit of the
Person(s) signing the Form 10-K Certification regarding certain aspects of
such Form 10-K Certification.

TERMINATION OF THE TRUST FUND
Section 7.01 Purchase of Mortgage Loans; Termination of Trust Fund
Upon Purchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.
(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee,
the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and WMMSC created hereby
(other than the obligation of the Securities Administrator to make payments to
the Certificateholders as set forth in Section 7.02), shall terminate on the
earliest of (i) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property, (ii)

of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx
X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St.
James's, living on the date hereof. Any termination of the Trust Fund shall be
carried out in such a manner so that the termination of each REMIC included

(b) [Reserved].
(c) On any Distribution Date occurring on or after the Initial
Optional Purchase Date, the Master Servicer has the option to cause the Trust
Fund to adopt a plan of complete liquidation pursuant to Sections 7.02 and
7.03 hereof to sell all of its property. If the Master Servicer elects to
exercise such option, it shall no later than 30 days prior to the Distribution
Date selected for purchase of the assets of the Trust Fund (the "Purchase
Date") deliver written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the
Securities Administrator and either (a) deposit in the Distribution Account
the Redemption Price or (b) state in such notice that the Redemption Price
shall be deposited in the Distribution Account not later than 10:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the applicable Purchase Date. Upon exercise of such option,
the property of the Trust Fund shall be sold to the Master Servicer at a price
equal to the Redemption Price.

WMMSC), the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian shall be

parties under this Agreement, the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or
the related Custodial Agreement.
Section 7.02 Procedure Upon Redemption Termination of Trust Fund.
(a) Notice of any redemption termination pursuant to the provisions
of Section 7.01, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the final
distribution shall be made or the purchase of the Trust's assets will occur,
shall be given promptly by the Securities Administrator by first class mail to
Certificateholders mailed in the case of a redemption of the Certificates, no
later than (i) the first day of the month in which the Distribution Date
selected for redemption of the Certificates shall occur or (ii) upon (x) the
sale of all of the property of the Trust Fund by the Securities Administrator

Certificate Registrar's Corporate Trust Office, and (B) that the Record Date
otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distribution
being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the
office or agency of the Securities Administrator therein specified. The
Securities Administrator shall give such notice to the Trustee, the Master
Servicer, the Certificate Insurer and the Certificate Registrar at the time
such notice is given to Holders of the Certificates. Upon any such
termination, the duties of the Certificate Registrar with respect to the
Certificates shall terminate and the Securities Administrator shall terminate
the Distribution Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect
to the Certificates, subject to the Securities Administrator's obligation
hereunder to hold all amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without
interest pending such payment.
(b) In the event that all of the Holders do not surrender their
Certificates for cancellation within three months after the time specified in
the above-mentioned written notice, the Securities Administrator shall give a
second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificates shall not
have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may take
appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of such Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the
amounts distributable to such Holders. If within two years after the second
notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Securities Administrator shall deliver any remaining funds being held by it to
the Holder of the Class A-R Certificates and the Holder of the Class A-R
Certificates shall, subject to applicable state law relating to escheatment,
hold all amounts distributable to such Holders for the benefit of such
Holders. No interest shall accrue on any amount held by the Securities
Administrator and not distributed to a Certificateholder due to such
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for payment of the
final distribution thereon in accordance with this Section.
(c) Any reasonable expenses incurred by the Securities Administrator
in connection with any purchase or termination or liquidation of the Trust
Fund shall be reimbursed from proceeds received from the liquidation of the
Trust Fund.
112
Section 7.03 Additional Trust Fund Termination Requirements.
(a) Any termination of the Trust Fund shall be effected in accordance
with the following additional requirements, unless the Master Servicer,
exercising its option to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Section 7.01(c), delivers to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, an
Opinion of Counsel (at the Master Servicer's expense), addressed to the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator to the effect that the failure of the
Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 7.03 will not
result in an Adverse REMIC Event:
(i) Within 89 days prior to the time of the making of the final
payment on the Certificates, upon notification by the Master Servicer
that it intends to exercise its option to cause the termination of
the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee
shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation of the Trust Fund on
behalf of each REMIC, meeting the requirements of a qualified
liquidation under the REMIC Provisions;
(ii) Any sale of the assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to
Section 7.01 shall be a sale for cash and shall occur at or after the
time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation and prior to
the time of making of the final payment on the Certificates;
(iii) On the date specified for final payment of the
Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall make final
distributions of principal and interest on the Certificates in
accordance with Section 5.02 and, after payment of, or provision for
any outstanding expenses, distribute or credit, or cause to be
distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates
all cash on hand after such final payment (other than cash retained
to meet claims), and the Trust Fund (and each REMIC) shall terminate
at that time; and
(iv) In no event may the final payment on the Certificates or
the final distribution or credit to the Holders of the Residual
Certificates be made after the 89th day from the date on which the
plan of complete liquidation is adopted.
(b) By its acceptance of a Residual Certificate, each Holder thereof
hereby agrees to accept the plan of complete liquidation adopted by the
Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee under this Section and to
take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested
by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or any Servicer.
ARTICLE VIII
RIGHTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
Section 8.01 Limitation on Rights of Holders.
(a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not
operate to terminate this Agreement or this Trust Fund, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or
take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of
this Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities
of the parties hereto or any of them. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, no Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as a
Certificateholder, shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise
113
control the Master Servicer or WMMSC or the operation and management of the
Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything
herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed
so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or
members of an association, nor shall any Certificateholder be under any
liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to
this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
(b) No Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as
Certificateholder, shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any
provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of an Event
of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and
unless also the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the
Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of
Certificates of each Class affected thereby shall have made written request
upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name
as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the cost, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty 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 and no direction
inconsistent with such written request has been given such Trustee during such
sixty-day period by such Certificateholders; it being understood and intended,
and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, that no one
or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by
virtue or by availing 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 benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and
enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every
Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be
given either at law or in equity.
Section 8.02 Access to List of Holders.
(a) If the Trustee is not acting as Certificate Registrar, the
Certificate Registrar will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee,
within fifteen days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request by
the Trustee in writing, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably
require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders of each Class as
of the most recent Record Date.
(b) If three or more Holders or Certificate Owners (hereinafter
referred to as "Applicants") apply in writing to the Certificate Registrar,
and such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with
other Holders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the
Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such
Applicants propose to transmit, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within
five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such
Applicants reasonable access during the normal business hours of the
Certificate Registrar to the most recent list of Certificateholders held by
the Certificate Registrar or shall, as an alternative, send, at the
Applicants' expense, the
114
written communication proffered by the Applicants to all Certificateholders
at their addresses as they appear in the Certificate Register.
(c) Every Holder or Certificate Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing
Agency, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees with the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, WMMSC, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate
Registrar and the Trustee that none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
WMMSC, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee
shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information
as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless
of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 8.03 Acts of Holders of Certificates.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by
Holders or Certificate Owners, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar
tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing;
and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and
the Securities Administrator and, where expressly required herein, to the
Master Servicer or to WMMSC, as applicable. Such instrument or instruments (as
the action embodies therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes
referred to as an "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments.
Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such
agents shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in
favor of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and
WMMSC, if made in the manner provided in this Section. Each of the Trustee,
the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and WMMSC shall promptly
notify the others of receipt of any such instrument by it, and shall promptly
forward a copy of such instrument to the others.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer
authorized by law to take acknowledgments or deeds, certifying that the
individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the
execution thereof. Whenever such execution is by an officer of a corporation
or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation or partnership,
such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his
authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
writing, or the authority of the individual executing the same, may also be
proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) The ownership of Certificates (whether or not such Certificates
shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other
writing thereon made by anyone other than the Trustee) shall be proved by the
Certificate Register, and none of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator,
the Master Servicer, WMMSC or the Depositor shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action by the Holder of any Certificate shall bind every
future Holder of the same Certificate and
115
the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer
thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of
anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Master
Servicer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made
upon such Certificate.
ARTICLE IX
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
BY THE MASTER SERVICER AND WMMSC
Section 9.01 Duties of the Master Servicer and WMMSC; Enforcement of
Servicers' and Master Servicer's Obligations.
(a) The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor and
the Certificateholders shall monitor the performance of the Servicers other
than WMMSC under the Purchase and Servicing Agreements, and shall use its
reasonable good faith efforts to cause the Servicers other than WMMSC duly and
punctually to perform all of their respective duties and obligations
thereunder. WMMSC hereby agrees that it shall use its reasonable good faith
efforts to duly and punctually to perform all of its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the WMMSC Purchase and Servicing Agreement (provided,
however, that in the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the
provisions of this Agreement and any provision of the WMMSC Purchase and
Servicing Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control).
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master
Servicer shall have no duty to monitor the performance of WMMSC under this
Agreement or under its Purchase and Servicing Agreements or to cause WMMSC to
perform its duties and obligations hereunder and thereunder, it being
understood that the Master Servicer's obligation to master service the
Mortgage Loans under this Agreement are limited to the Master Serviced
Mortgage Loans, and the Master Servicer shall have no liability to the
Certificateholders, the Depositor or any other Person for any acts or
omissions of WMMSC hereunder or under its Purchase and Servicing Agreements.
Upon the occurrence of a default of which a Responsible Officer of the Master
Servicer has actual knowledge under a Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the
Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof, and shall specify
in such notice the action, if any, the Master Servicer is taking in respect of
such default. So long as any such default shall be continuing, the Master
Servicer may, and shall if it determines such action to be in the best
interests of Certificateholders, (i) terminate all of the rights and powers of
such Servicer pursuant to the applicable provisions of the related Purchase
and Servicing Agreement; (ii) exercise any rights it may have to enforce the
related Purchase and Servicing Agreement against such Servicer; and/or (iii)
waive any such default under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or
take any other action with respect to such default as is permitted thereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to
any Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will have no duty
or obligation to supervise, monitor or oversee the activities of the related
Servicer under any Purchase and Servicing Agreement with respect to any
Additional Collateral or under any agreement relating to the pledge of, or the
perfection of a pledge or security interest in, any Additional Collateral.
(b) Upon any termination by the Master Servicer of a Servicer's
rights and powers pursuant to its Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the rights
and powers of such Servicer with
116
respect to the related Mortgage Loans shall vest in the Master Servicer
and the Master Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to
such Servicer in its capacity as Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loans
under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, unless or until the Master
Servicer shall have appointed (and the Trustee shall have acknowledged), with
the consent of the Rating Agencies and in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, a new Xxxxxx Xxx-
or FHLMC-approved Person to serve as successor to the Servicer; provided,
however, that it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that there
will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual
servicing functions can be fully transferred to a successor servicer
(including the Master Servicer). With such letter from the Rating Agencies,
the Master Servicer may elect to continue to serve as successor servicer under
the Purchase and Servicing Agreement. Upon appointment of a successor
servicer, as authorized under this Section 9.01(b), unless the successor
servicer shall have assumed the obligations of the terminated Servicer under
such Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer and such successor
servicer shall enter into a servicing agreement in a form substantially
similar to the affected Purchase and Servicing Agreement, and the Trustee
shall acknowledge such servicing agreement. In connection with any such
appointment, the Master Servicer may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor servicer as it and such successor servicer
shall agree, but in no event shall such compensation of any successor servicer
(including the Master Servicer) be in excess of that payable to the Servicer
under the affected Purchase and Servicing Agreement.
The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement
(including the termination of a Servicer, the appointment of a successor
servicer or the transfer and assumption of the servicing by the Master
Servicer) at its own expense and shall be reimbursed therefor initially (i) by
the terminated Servicer, (ii) from a general recovery resulting from such
enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts
due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, (iii) from a specific recovery
of costs, expenses or attorney's fees against the party against whom such
enforcement is directed, or (iv) to the extent that such amounts described in
(i)-(iii) above are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer for such
costs of enforcement, from the Trust Fund, as provided in Section 9.04.
If the Master Servicer assumes the servicing with respect to any of
the Mortgage Loans, it will not assume liability for the representations and
warranties of any Servicer it replaces or for the errors or omissions of such
Servicer.
(c) Upon any termination of a Servicer's rights and powers pursuant
to its Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly
notify the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, specifying in such notice that the
Master Servicer (or the Securities Administrator, in the case of WMMSC) or any
successor servicer, as the case may be, has succeeded such Servicer under the
related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, which notice shall also specify the
name and address of any such successor servicer.
(d) The Depositor shall not consent to the assignment by any Servicer
of such Servicer's rights and obligations under the related Purchase and
Servicing Agreement without the prior written consent of the Master Servicer,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
117
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with
respect to any action which according to the terms of this Agreement is to be
performed by the Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer, (i) if such
action relates to a Master Serviced Mortgage Loan, only the Master Servicer
shall have an obligation to perform such action and (ii) if such action
relates to a WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan, only WMMSC shall have an obligation
to perform such action.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
purchase of any WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan by any Person shall be subject to
the rights of WMMSC to continue servicing such WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan
for the same Servicing Fee substantially in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(g) WMMSC may, in connection with its duties as Servicer hereunder,
enter into transactions with any of its Affiliates relating to the WMMSC
Serviced Mortgage Loans; provided that (a) WMMSC acts (i) in accordance with
Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) in the
ordinary course of business of WMMSC; and (b) the terms of such transaction
are no less favorable to WMMSC than it would obtain in a comparable
arm's-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of WMMSC.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any such transaction between WMMSC and
any of its Affiliates shall not release WMMSC from any of its obligations
hereunder and WMMSC shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and
omissions of such Affiliate with respect to such Mortgage Loans serviced by it
as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the WMMSC. Any fees and
expenses relating to such transaction between WMMSC and its Affiliate that are
not otherwise reimbursable to WMMSC pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne
by the parties thereto and shall not be an expense or fee of the Trust, the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Seller or the Master
Servicer.
Section 9.02 Assumption of Master Servicing by Master Servicer or
Servicing by WMMSC by Trustee.
(a) (i) In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no
longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default by
the Master Servicer under this Agreement), the Trustee shall thereupon assume
all of the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer hereunder and under
each Purchase and Servicing Agreement entered into with respect to the Master
Serviced Mortgage Loans or shall appoint or petition a court to appoint a
Xxxxxx-Xxx or FHLMC-approved servicer as successor servicer that is acceptable
to the Depositor and the Rating Agencies. The Trustee, as successor master
servicer, its designee or any successor master servicer appointed by the
Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest
herein and therein to the same extent as if such Purchase and Servicing
Agreements had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Master
Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations of the
Master Servicer under such Purchase and Servicing Agreement accruing prior to
its replacement as Master Servicer, and shall be liable to the Trustee, and
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from and against all
costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) incurred by the Trustee as a result of such liability or obligations of
the Master Servicer and in connection with the Trustee's assumption (but not
its performance, except to the extent that costs or liability of the Trustee
are created or increased as a result of negligent or wrongful acts or
omissions of the
118
Master Servicer prior to its replacement as Master Servicer) of the Master
Servicer's obligations, duties or responsibilities thereunder.
(ii) In the event that WMMSC shall for any reason no longer be a
Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default by WMMSC under this
Agreement), the Securities Administrator shall thereupon assume all of the
rights and obligations of WMMSC hereunder and under each Purchase and
Servicing Agreement entered into with respect to the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage
Loans, or cause a successor servicer to assume such obligations in accordance
with Section 9.01(b) hereof (it being understood and agreed that the 90-day
transition period and the right of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
9.01(b) to reimbursement of costs and expenses in connection with a servicing
termination and/or transfer also shall apply to any transfer of the servicing
responsibilities of WMMSC by or to Securities Administrator). The Securities
Administrator, as successor servicer to WMMSC, or its designee shall be deemed
to have assumed all of WMMSC's interest herein and therein to the same extent
as if such Purchase and Servicing Agreements had been assigned to the assuming
party, except that WMMSC shall not thereby be relieved of any of its liability
or obligations under such Purchase and Servicing Agreements accruing prior to
its replacement as Servicer thereunder and hereunder, and shall be liable to
the Master Servicer, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Securities Administrator from and against all costs, damages, expenses and
liabilities (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Securities
Administrator as a result of such liability or obligations of WMMSC and in
connection with the Master Servicer's assumption (but not its performance,
except to the extent that costs or liability of the Securities Administrator
are created or increased as a result of negligent or wrongful acts or
omissions of WMMSC prior to its replacement as Servicer) of WMMSC's
obligations, duties or responsibilities thereunder.
(b) (i)The Master Servicer that has been terminated shall, upon
request of the Trustee but at the expense of such Master Servicer, deliver to
the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Purchase and
Servicing Agreement, this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loans and an
accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of each Purchase and
Servicing Agreement and this Agreement to the assuming party.
(ii) Upon the termination of WMMSC pursuant to Section 9.02(a)
hereunder, WMMSC shall, upon request of the Securities Administrator but at
the expense of WMMSC, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records
relating to each Purchase and Servicing Agreement to which WMMSC is party,
this Agreement and the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect
the orderly and efficient transfer of each such Purchase and Servicing
Agreement and this Agreement to the assuming party.
Section 9.03 Representations and Warranties of the Master Servicer
and WMMSC.
(a) The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Insurer and the
Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, as of the Closing Date

is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its assets are
subject, which violation, default or breach would materially and
adversely affect the Master Servicer's ability to perform its
obligations under this Agreement;
(iii) this Agreement constitutes, assuming due authorization,
execution and delivery hereof by the other respective parties hereto,
a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Master Servicer,
enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, except as
such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors' rights in general, and by general equity principles
(regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law);
(iv) the Master Servicer is not in default with respect to any
order or decree of any court or any order or regulation of any
federal, state, municipal or governmental agency to the extent that

obligations under this Agreement or that requires the consent of any
third person to the execution of this Agreement or the performance by
the Master Servicer of its obligations under this Agreement;
(vi) no litigation is pending or, to the best of the Master
Servicer's knowledge, threatened against the Master Servicer which
would prohibit its entering into this Agreement or performing its
obligations under this Agreement;
(vii) the Master Servicer, or an affiliate thereof the primary
business of which is the servicing of conventional residential
mortgage loans, is a Xxxxxx Mae- or FHLMC-approved seller/servicer;
120
(viii) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any
court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution,
delivery and performance by the Master Servicer of or compliance by
the Master Servicer with this Agreement or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for such
consents, approvals, authorizations and orders (if any) as have been
obtained; and
(ix) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Master
Servicer.
(b) WMMSC hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor, the
Securities Administrator, the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, as of the Closing Date that:
(i) Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp. ("WMMSC") is a
corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware and is qualified under the
laws of each state where required by applicable law or is otherwise
exempt under applicable law from such qualification.
(ii) WMMSC has all requisite corporate power, authority and
capacity to enter into the Agreement and to perform the obligations
required of it thereunder. The Agreement (assuming the due
authorization and execution of the Agreement by the other parties
thereto) constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of WMMSC
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
reorganization and similar laws, and by equitable principles
affecting the enforceability of the rights of creditors.
(iii) None of the execution and delivery of the Agreement, the
consummation of any other transaction contemplated therein, or the
fulfillment of or compliance with the terms of the Agreement, will
result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, any term or
provision of the organizational documents of WMMSC or conflict with,
result in a material breach, violation or acceleration of or
constitute a material default under, the terms of any indenture or
other agreement or instrument to which WMMSC is a party or by which
it is bound, or any statute, order, judgment, or regulation
applicable to WMMSC of any court, regulatory body, administrative

of any of the transactions contemplated thereby or (c) which might
materially and adversely affect the performance by WMMSC of its
obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, the
Agreement.
(v) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court,
regulatory body or governmental agency or court is required, under
state or federal law prior to the execution, delivery and performance
by WMMSC of the Agreement or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Agreement.
121
(c) It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties set forth in this Section shall survive the execution and delivery
of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee and hold them harmless against any
loss, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, 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 material
breach of the Master Servicer's representations and warranties contained in
Section 9.03(a). It is understood and agreed that the enforcement of the
obligation of the Master Servicer set forth in this Section to indemnify the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee as provided in this
Section constitutes the sole remedy (other than as set forth in Section 6.14)
of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, respecting a
breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. Such indemnification
shall survive any termination of the Master Servicer as Master Servicer
hereunder, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and any termination of
this Agreement.
Any cause of action against the Master Servicer relating to or
arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in this
Section shall accrue upon discovery of such breach by either the Depositor,
the Master Servicer or the Trustee or notice thereof by any one of such
parties to the other parties.

other ancillary income not included in the definition of "Available Funds" and
which are not required to be remitted by the Servicers to the Securities

Agreements, as modified by the Acknowledgements (including the reasonable

the extent not otherwise reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement, except any
such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.
The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Master Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless
thereby against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal
fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be

ancillary income with respect to the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans not
included in the definition of "Available Funds" and which are not required to
be remitted by the WMMSC to the Securities Administrator. WMMSC shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities
hereunder and under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreements and shall
not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Agreement
or the related Purchase and Servicing Agreements.
WMMSC and any director, officer, employee or agent of WMMSC shall be
indemnified by the Trust and held harmless thereby against any loss, liability
or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel)
incurred on their part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out
of, or related to, any claim or legal action (including any pending or
threatened claim or legal action) relating to this Agreement, the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreements, the Custodial Agreements or the
Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense resulting from WMMSC's
failure to perform its duties hereunder or thereunder or incurred by reason of
the WMMSC's negligence, willful misfeasance or bad faith.
Section 9.05 Merger or Consolidation.
Any Person into which the Master Servicer or WMMSC may be merged or
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, other
change in form or consolidation to which the Master Servicer or WMMSC, as
applicable, shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the
Master Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, shall be the successor to the Master
Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, 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 (i)
the successor or resulting Person to the Master Servicer shall be a Person
that shall be qualified and approved to service mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Xxx
or FHLMC and shall have a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and (ii) the
successor or surviving person to WMMSC shall have a net worth of at least
$15,000,000, unless each of the Rating Agencies confirm, at the expense of the
successor or surviving Person to WMMSC, that their respective ratings of the
Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment (determined
without regard to the Class 2-A-4 Policy) will not be qualified, reduced or
withdrawn as a result of such successor or surviving Person to WMMSC not
having a net worth of at least $15,000,000.

Section 9.06 Resignation of Master Servicer or WMMSC.
Except as otherwise provided in Sections 9.05 and 9.07 hereof,
neither the Master Servicer nor WMMSC shall resign from their respective
obligations and duties hereby imposed unless (a) the respective duties of the
Master Servicer and WMMSC hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable
law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other
activities carried on by it and cannot be cured or (b) in the case of WMMSC,
upon the appointment of a successor to WMMSC and receipt by the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer and the Securities Administrator of a letter from each
Rating Agency to the effect that such a resignation and appointment will not
result in a downgrading or withdrawal of the then current ratings of the
Certificates (determined without regard to the Class 2-A-4 Policy) related to
the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Master Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, shall be evidenced
by an Opinion of Counsel that shall be Independent to such effect delivered to
the Trustee. No resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective
until the Trustee shall have assumed, or a successor master servicer shall
have been appointed pursuant to Section 9.02 and until such successor shall
have assumed, the Master Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under
this Agreement. No resignation of WMMSC shall become effective until the
Master Servicer or a successor servicer shall have assumed WMMSC's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement and under the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreements. Notice of any such resignation shall be
given promptly by the Master Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, and the
Depositor to the Trustee.
If, at any time, the Master Servicer resigns under this Section 9.06,
or transfers or assigns its rights and obligations under Section 9.07, or is
removed as Master Servicer pursuant to Section 6.14, then at such time Xxxxx
Fargo Bank, National Association (or any successor thereto) also shall resign
(and shall be entitled to resign) as Securities Administrator, Paying Agent,
Authenticating Agent and Certificate Registrar under this Agreement. In such
event, the obligations of each such party shall be assumed by the Trustee or
such successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee (subject to the
provisions of Section 9.02(a)).
Section 9.07 Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Master
Servicer.
Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not
assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any
other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any
other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed by the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Master
Servicer shall have the right with the prior written consent of the Trustee
and the Depositor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and upon
delivery to the Trustee and the Depositor of a letter from each Rating Agency
to the effect that such action shall not result in a downgrading of the
Certificates (without regard to the Class 2-A-4 Policy), to delegate or assign
to or subcontract with or authorize or appoint any qualified Person to perform
and carry out any duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and carried
out by the Master Servicer hereunder. Notice of such permitted assignment
shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer to the Depositor and the
Trustee. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master
Servicer are transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire amount of
the compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall
thereafter be payable to such successor
124
master servicer. Such successor Master Servicer shall also pay the
fees of the Trustee, the Custodian and the Securities Administrator, as
provided herein.
Section 9.08 Limitation on Liability of the Master Servicer and
Others.
(a) Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers,
employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the
Trustee or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from
the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for
errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect
the Master Servicer or any such person against any liability that would
otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in its performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard for its
obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good
faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted
by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Master Servicer
shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal
action that is not incidental to its duties to master service the Master
Serviced Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and that in its
opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that
the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that
it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights
and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Fund and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor
out of the Distribution Account.
The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of
the Servicers except to the extent that damages or expenses are incurred as a
result of such act or omissions and such damages and expenses would not have
been incurred but for the negligence, willful misfeasance, bad faith or
recklessness of the Master Servicer in supervising, monitoring and overseeing
the obligations of the Servicers in this Agreement and the Purchase and
Servicing Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer is not
responsible for supervising, monitoring and overseeing the obligations of
WMMSC pursuant to this Agreement and the WMMSC Purchase and Servicing
Agreement and shall not liable for any act or omission of WMMSC hereunder or
thereunder.
(b) Neither WMMSC nor any of the directors, officers, employees or
agents of WMMSC shall be under any liability to the Trustee or the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of
any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in
judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect WMMSC or
any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in its performance of
its duties or by reason of reckless disregard for its obligations and duties
under this Agreement. WMMSC and any director, officer, employee or agent of
WMMSC may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly
executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.
WMMSC shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal
action that is not incidental to its duties to master service the WMMSC
Serviced Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and that in its
opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that
WMMSC may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that it may deem
necessary or
125
desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder.
In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability
resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund
and WMMSC shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Distribution
Account.
Section 9.09 Indemnification; Third-Party Claims.
(a) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee, and hold them harmless against any
and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related
costs, judgments, and any other costs, liability, fees and expenses that the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee may sustain as a result
of the Master Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard for
its obligations and duties under this Agreement, the Acknowledgements and the
related Purchase and Servicing Agreements. The Depositor, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee shall immediately notify the Master Servicer if
a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Master
Serviced Mortgage Loans entitling the Depositor, the Securities Administrator
or the Trustee to indemnification under this Section 9.09(a), whereupon the
Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim and pay all
expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay,
discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it
or them in respect of such claim.
(b) WMMSC shall indemnify the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator and hold each of them harmless for any loss, liability, damage,
claim or expense (other than any special, indirect, punitive or consequential
loss, liability, damage, claim or expense) of the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator arising from any failure of WMMSC to provide, or to cause to be
provided, the loan level information or data regarding the WMMSC Mortgage
Loans reasonably requested by the Trustee or Securities Administrator, and
required to be provided by WMMSC pursuant to this Agreement, on a timely
basis.
ARTICLE X
REMIC ADMINISTRATION
Section 10.01 REMIC Administration.
(a) REMIC elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement shall
be made on Forms 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return
for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
Certificates are issued. The regular interests and residual interest in each
REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day" of
each REMIC within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The latest
possible maturity date for purposes of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-1(a)(4) will
be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
(c) The Securities Administrator shall represent the Trust Fund in
any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit
by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The Securities
Administrator shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not
126
including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited to any professional
fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial
proceedings with respect to such REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue
Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such
expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine
audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii)
such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable
to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Securities Administrator in
fulfilling its duties hereunder (including its duties as tax return preparer).
The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses to
the extent provided in clause (i) above from the Distribution Account,
provided, however, the Securities Administrator shall not be entitled to
reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of tax
returns and other reports as required by Section 6.20 and this Section.
(d) The Securities Administrator shall prepare, the Trustee shall
sign and the Securities Administrator shall file all of each REMIC's federal
and appropriate state tax and information returns as such REMIC's direct
representative. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be
borne by the Securities Administrator. In preparing such returns, the
Securities Administrator shall, with respect to each REMIC other than the
Master REMIC: (i) treat the accrual period for interests in such REMIC as the
calendar month; (ii) account for distributions made from each REMIC other than
the Master REMIC as made on the first day of each succeeding calendar month;
(iii) account for income under the all-OID method at the weighted average of
the Net Mortgage Rates; (iv) use the aggregation method provided in Treasury
Regulation section 1.1275-2(c); and (v) account for income and expenses
related to each REMIC other than the Master REMIC in the manner resulting in
the lowest amount of excess inclusion income possible accruing to the Holder
of the residual interest in each such REMIC.
(e) The Securities Administrator or its designee shall perform on
behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are
the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or
other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state
or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code,
the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the Securities Administrator
shall provide, upon receipt of additional reasonable compensation, (i) to the
Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for
the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate
to any disqualified person or organization pursuant to Treasury Regulation
1.860E-2(a)(5) and any person designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code and
(ii) to the Certificateholders and the Trustee such information or reports as
are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions.
(f) To the extent within their control, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer, WMMSC and the Holders of Certificates
shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to
maintain the status of any REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and
shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. None
of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, WMMSC nor
the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall knowingly take any action, cause
any REMIC 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 result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion of
Counsel (at the
127
expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that
the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the
imposition of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect
to any REMIC or the assets therein, or causing any REMIC to take any action,
which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder
of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer or their respective designees, in writing,
with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to
occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action
or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer has advised it in writing that
an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided, however, that if no Adverse
REMIC Event would occur but such action could result in the imposition of
additional taxes on the Residual Certificateholders, no such Person shall take
any such action, or cause any REMIC to take any such action without the
written consent of the Residual Certificateholders.
(g) Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and
all taxes imposed on the related REMIC by federal or state governmental
authorities. To the extent that such taxes are not paid by a Residual
Certificateholder, the Paying Agent shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of
current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the
Residual Certificate in any such REMIC or, if no such amounts are available,
(A) out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce
amounts otherwise payable to holders of regular interests in any such REMIC or
(B) to the extent that any such taxes are imposed on the REMIC as a result of
the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Master Servicer,
the Securities Administrator or any Servicer (including WMMSC), then the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, or that Servicer (including
WMMSC), as applicable, shall pay when due any and all such taxes.
(h) The Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax
purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC on a calendar
year and on an accrual basis.
(i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC,
except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
(j) Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer
shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee or
other compensation for services.
(k) [Reserved].
(l) The Class A-R Holder shall act as "tax matters person" with
respect to each REMIC created hereunder and the Securities Administrator shall
act as agent for the Class A-R Holder in such roles, unless and until another
party is so designated by the Class A-R Holder.
Section 10.02 Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
Neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall
sell, dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a
disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the
bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of each REMIC pursuant to
Article VII of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of
this Agreement or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of
this Agreement, nor
128
acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments
in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions
to any REMIC after the Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of
Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition,
substitution or acceptance) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution,
or acceptance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event, (b) affect the
distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates or (c) result in the
encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust Fund (except
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement).
The Master Servicer with respect to the Master Serviced Mortgage
Loans and WMMSC with respect to the WMMSC Mortgage Loans shall not consent to
any modification of any such Mortgage Loan for which the consent of the Master
Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, is required under the applicable Purchase
and Servicing Agreement under which such Mortgage Loan is serviced, that would
(i) increase the interest rate in respect of such Mortgage, defer for a period
in excess of six months or forgive the payment of any principal or interest,
reduce the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of
principal), increase the Servicing Fee on such Mortgage Loan or extend the
final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan, or (ii) result in a substitution or
release of collateral or in the provision of additional collateral for the
Mortgage Loan, unless the applicable Mortgage Loan is in default or default is
reasonably foreseeable in respect of such Mortgage Loan, or the Master
Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the
expense of the party requesting consent for such modification) that such
modification will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.
Section 10.03 Indemnification with Respect to Prohibited Transactions
or Loss of REMIC Status.
Upon the occurrence of an Adverse REMIC Event due to the negligent
performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties and obligations set
forth herein, the Securities Administrator shall indemnify the
Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses ("Losses") resulting from
such negligence; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall
not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of
the Depositor, the Trustee or the Holder of the Residual Certificate, nor for
any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by any of the foregoing
parties on which the Securities Administrator has relied. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, in no event shall the Securities Administrator have any
liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and
in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by
the terms of, this Agreement or under any Purchase and Servicing Agreements or
under any Acknowledgement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of
malfeasance, willful misconduct or negligent performance by the Service
Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any
special or consequential damages to Certificateholders of the related Residual
Certificate (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the
Certificates).
Section 10.04 REO Property.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall not, except to the
extent provided in the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement, knowingly
permit any Servicer to, rent, lease, or
129
otherwise earn income on behalf of any REMIC with respect to any REO
Property which might cause an Adverse REMIC Event unless the applicable
Servicer has provided to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an
Opinion of Counsel concluding that, under the REMIC Provisions, such action
would not adversely affect the status of any REMIC as a REMIC and any income
generated for any REMIC by the REO Property would not result in an Adverse
REMIC Event.
(b) The Depositor shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent
provided in its Purchase and Servicing Agreement) to make reasonable efforts
to sell any REO Property for its fair market value. In any event, however, the
Depositor shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent
provided in its Purchase and Servicing Agreement) to, dispose of any REO
Property within three years of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the
Depositor or the applicable Servicer (on behalf of the Trust Fund) has
received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect
that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and
under applicable state law, the REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer
period without causing an Adverse REMIC Event. If such an extension has been
received, then the Depositor, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder,
shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer to, continue to attempt to sell
the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three
years as such extension permits (the "Extended Period"). If such an extension
has not been received and the Depositor or the applicable Servicer, acting on
behalf of the Trust Fund hereunder, is unable to sell the REO Property within
33 months after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if such an extension, has
been received and the Depositor or the applicable Servicer is unable to sell
the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the
Extended Period, the Depositor shall cause the applicable Servicer, before the
end of the three year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, to (i)
purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property's fair market
value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the
applicable Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price
prior to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as
the case may be.
Section 10.05 Fidelity.
The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a
blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording
coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons
acting on such Master Servicer's behalf, and covering errors and omissions in
the performance of the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder. The errors and
omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and
amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers and
trustees.

parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
130
Section 11.02 Entire Agreement.
This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding among
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes
all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, inducements and
conditions, express or implied, oral or written, of any nature whatsoever with
respect to the subject matter hereof. The express terms hereof control and
supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent
with any of the terms hereof.
Section 11.03 Amendment.
(a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, and the Trustee, without
notice to or the consent of any of the Holders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or
mistake, (ii) to cause the provisions herein to conform to or be consistent
with or in furtherance of the statements made with respect to the

Agreement, (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or

effected pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, as evidenced by an Opinion
of Counsel, result in an Adverse REMIC Event, nor shall such amendment
effected pursuant to clause (iii) of such sentence adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Holder. Prior to entering into any
amendment without the consent of Holders pursuant to this paragraph, the
Trustee shall be provided with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the
party requesting such amendment) to the effect that such amendment is
permitted under this Section. Any such amendment shall be deemed not to
adversely affect in any material respect any Holder, if the Trustee receives
written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such amendment will not
cause such Rating Agency to reduce the then current rating assigned to the
Certificates (such determination to be made without regard to the Class 2-A-4
Policy).
(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee,
with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class
Principal Balance (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates
affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that no
such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee receives an Opinion of
Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change
will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such
amendment may (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 or (ii)
reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Balance or Class Notional
Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of
which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the
Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Balance or Class Notional Amount (or
Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. For
purposes of this paragraph,
131
references to "Holder" or "Holders" shall be deemed to include, in
the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate
Owners.
(c) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the
Securities Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance
of such amendment to each Holder, the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer and
the Rating Agencies.
(d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Holders under this
Section 11.03 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 Holders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations
as the Trustee may prescribe.
(e) Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 11.03,
this Agreement can not be amended without the consent of the Certificate
Insurer if such amendment would affect any provision of this Agreement to
which the Certificate Insurer is a third-party beneficiary.
Section 11.04 Voting Rights.
Except to the extent that the consent of all affected
Certificateholders is required pursuant to this Agreement, with respect to any
provision of this Agreement requiring the consent of Certificateholders
representing specified percentages of aggregate outstanding Certificate
Balance or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest), Certificates owned
by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the
Trustee, any Servicer or any Affiliates thereof are not to be counted so long
as such Certificates are owned by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator, the Trustee, any Servicer or any Affiliate thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as there does not exist a Certificate
Insurer Default, the Certificate Insurer shall have the right to exercise all
rights of the Holders of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates without any consent of
such Holders, and such Holders may exercise such rights only with the prior
written consent of the Certificate Insurer.
Section 11.05 Provision of Information.
(a) For so long as any of the Certificates of any Class are
"restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Act,
each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and
the Trustee (upon instruction from the Depositor) agree to cooperate with each
other to provide to any Certificateholders and to any prospective purchaser of
Certificates designated by such holder, upon the request of such holder or
prospective purchaser, any information required to be provided to such holder
or prospective purchaser to satisfy the condition set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4)
under the Act. Any reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Trustee,
the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator in providing such
information shall be reimbursed by the Depositor.
(b) The Securities Administrator shall provide to any person to whom
a Prospectus was delivered, upon the request of such person specifying the
document or documents requested, a copy (excluding exhibits) of any report on
Form 8-K or Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to Section 6.20(b). Any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses

shall be reimbursed by the Depositor.

ARTICLE XII
CERTAIN MATTERS REGARDING THE CERTIFICATE INSURER
Section 12.01 Rights of the Certificate Insurer to Exercise Rights of
Holders of Class 2-A-4 Certificates.
By accepting its Certificate, each Holder of a Class 2-A-4
Certificate agrees that unless a Certificate Insurer Default exists, the
Certificate Insurer shall have the right to exercise all consent, voting,
direction and other control rights of the Holders of the Class 2-A-4
Certificates under this Agreement without any further consent of the Holders
of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates.
135
Section 12.02 [Reserved]
Section 12.03 Effect of Payments by the Certificate Insurer;
Subrogation.
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, for
purposes of this Section 12.03, any payment with respect to principal of or
interest on the Class 2-A-4 Certificates that is made with monies received
pursuant to the terms of the Certificate Policy shall not be considered
payment of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates from the Trust Fund. The Master
Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee acknowledge, and each Holder by its
acceptance of a Class 2-A-4 Certificate agrees, that without the need for any
further action on the part of the Certificate Insurer, the Master Servicer,
the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, to the extent the
Certificate Insurer or the Fiscal Agent makes payments, directly or
indirectly, on account of principal of or interest on the Class 2-A-4
Certificates to the Holders of such Certificates, the Certificate Insurer will
be fully subrogated to, and each Holder of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates, the
Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee hereby delegate and assign to
the Certificate Insurer, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of
such Holders to receive such principal and interest from the Trust Fund;
provided that the Certificate Insurer shall be paid such amounts only from the
sources and in the manner explicitly provided for in this Agreement.
The Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer
shall cooperate in all respects with any reasonable request by the Certificate
Insurer for action to preserve or enforce the Certificate Insurer's rights or
interests under this Agreement without limiting the rights or affecting the
interests of the Holders as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.
Section 12.04 Notices and Information to the Certificate Insurer.
(a) All notices, statements, reports, certificates or opinions
required by this Agreement to be sent to any other party hereto, to the Rating
Agencies or to the Certificateholders shall also be sent at the same time to
the Certificate Insurer.
(b) The Master Servicer shall designate a Person who shall be
available to the Certificate Insurer to provide reasonable access to
information regarding the Mortgage Loans and to all books, records, accounts,
information and other matters relating to the Certificates or this Agreement.
(c) All references herein to the ratings assigned to the Certificates
and to the interests of any Certificateholder shall be without regard to the
Class 2-A-4 Policy.
Section 12.05 Trustee to Hold Certificate Policy.
The Trustee will hold the Certificate Policy in trust as agent for
the Insured Certificateholders for the purpose of making claims thereon and
distributing the proceeds thereof. Neither the Certificate Policy nor the
amounts paid on the Certificate Policy will constitute part of the Trust Fund
or assets of any REMIC created by this Agreement. Each Insured
Certificateholder, by accepting its Certificate, appoints the Securities
Administrator on behalf of the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for the purpose of
making claims on the Certificate Policy. The Trustee shall surrender the
Certificate Policy to the Certificate Insurer for cancellation upon the
payment in full of the Class 2-A-4 Certificates. To the extent that the
136
Certificate Policy constitutes a reserve fund for federal income tax purposes,
(1) it shall be an outside credit support agreement and not an asset of any
REMIC and (2) it shall be owned by the Certificate Insurer, all within the
meaning of Section 1.860G-2(h) of the Treasury Regulations.
Section 12.06 Class 2-A-4 Premium Payments.
(a) The Securities Administrator shall, to the extent of funds
available therefor in the Distribution Account, pay the Class 2-A-4 Premium
and all other amounts payable to the Certificate Insurer under the Class 2-A-4
Policy or this Agreement in immediately available funds by wire transfer to
such account as the Certificate Insurer shall designate by notice, and in the
lawful currency of the United States of America, on the dates when due.
Section 12.07 Third Party Beneficiaries.
The Certificate Insurer shall be an express third-party beneficiary
of this Agreement to the extent of its express subrogation rights, its rights
to receive the Class 2-A-4 Premium and Certificate Insurer Reimbursement
Amounts pursuant to Section 5.02(a) and its express rights set forth in this
Agreement and shall have the right to enforce the related provisions of this
Agreement as if it were a party to this Agreement.

Servicer or the Securities Administrator to any obligation in
addition to those undertaken by such entities in the Pooling

obtaining from the prospective Purchaser an affidavit
substantially in this form and providing to the Certificate
Registrar a written statement substantially in the form of

Dear Sirs:
In connection with our proposed purchase of $______________ principal
amount of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mortgage Loan Trust 2004-3, Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates (the "Privately Offered Certificates") of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Capital I
Inc. (the "Depositor"), we confirm that:
(1) We understand that the Privately Offered Certificates have not been,
and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), and may not be sold except as permitted
in the following sentence. We agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of
any accounts for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, that if we
should sell any Privately Offered Certificates within two years of the
later of the date of original issuance of the Privately Offered
Certificates or the last day on which such Privately Offered
Certificates are owned by the Depositor or any affiliate of the
Depositor we will do so only (A) to the Depositor, (B) to "qualified
institutional buyers" (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the
Securities Act) in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act
("QIBs"), (C) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by
Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (D) to an institutional
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or
(7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act that is not a QIB (an
"Institutional Accredited Investor") which, prior to such transfer,
delivers to the Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2004 (the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement"), by and among Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Capital I Inc., as Depositor,
Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer and as
Securities Administrator, Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp.,
as Servicer, and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, a
signed letter in the form of this letter; and we further agree, in the
capacities stated above, to provide to any person purchasing any of the
Privately Offered Certificates from us a notice advising such purchaser
that resales of the Privately Offered Certificates are restricted as
stated herein.
(2) We understand that, in connection with any proposed resale of any
Privately Offered Certificates to an Institutional Accredited Investor,
we will be required to furnish to the Certificate Registrar a
certification from such transferee in the form hereof to confirm that
the proposed sale is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a
transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. We further understand that the Privately Offered
Certificates purchased by us will bear a legend to the foregoing
effect.
I-1
(3) We are acquiring the Privately Offered Certificates for investment
purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection
with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the
Privately Offered Certificates, and we and any account for which we are
acting are each able to bear the economic risk of such investment.
(4) We are an Institutional Accredited Investor and we are acquiring the
Privately Offered Certificates purchased by us for our own account or
for one or more accounts (each of which is an Institutional Accredited
Investor) as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion.
(5) We have received such information as we deem necessary in order to
make our investment decision.
(6) If we are acquiring ERISA-Restricted Certificates, we understand that
in accordance with ERISA, the Code and the Exemption, no Plan and no
person acting on behalf of such a Plan may acquire such Certificate
except in accordance with Section 3.03(d) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
Terms used in this letter which are not otherwise defined herein have
the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
I-2
You and the Certificate Registrar are entitled to rely upon this letter
and are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any
interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry
with respect to the matters covered hereby.
Very truly yours,
