as to which the related Mortgaged Property is located in Florida, the Servicer
shall cause to be recorded in the appropriate public recording office for real
property records each Assignment of Mortgage referred to in this Section 2.01 as
soon as practicable. With respect to any Non-MERS Mortgage Loans which are not
Co-op Loans as to which the related Mortgaged Property is located outside of
Florida, the Servicer shall not be obligated to cause to be recorded the
Assignment of Mortgage referred to in this Section 2.01. With respect to Co-op
Loans as to which the related dwelling unit is located in Florida, the Servicer
shall cause to be filed in the appropriate filing office the Form UCC-3 referred

days of the Closing Date or shall deliver to the Trustee on or before such date
an Officer's Certificate stating that such document has been delivered to the
appropriate public recording or filing office for recording or filing, but has
not been returned solely because of a delay caused by such recording or filing
office. In any event, the Depositor shall use all reasonable efforts to cause
each such document with evidence of recording or filing thereon to be delivered
to the Trustee within 300 days of the Closing Date.
With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Trustee, at the expense of the

cause to be taken such actions as are necessary to cause the Trustee to be
clearly identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on the records of
MERS for purposes of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership
of mortgages maintained by MERS.
The ownership of each Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the contents of the
related Mortgage File is vested in the Trustee. Neither the Depositor nor the
Servicer shall take any action inconsistent with such ownership and shall not
claim any ownership interest therein. The Depositor and the Servicer shall
respond to any third party inquiries with respect to ownership of the Mortgage
Loans by stating that such ownership is held by the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. Mortgage documents relating to the Mortgage Loans not
delivered to the Trustee are and shall be held in trust by the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee as the owner thereof, and the
Servicer's or such Sub-Servicer's possession of the contents of each Mortgage
File so retained is for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan,
and such retention and possession by the Servicer or such Sub-Servicer is in a
custodial capacity only. The Depositor agrees to take no action inconsistent
with the Trustee's ownership
41
of the Mortgage Loans, to promptly indicate to all inquiring parties that the
Mortgage Loans have been sold and to claim no ownership interest in the Mortgage
Loans. Each Mortgage File and the mortgage documents relating to the Mortgage
Loans contain proprietary business information of the Servicer and its
customers. The Trustee and the Depositor agree that they will not use such
information for business purposes without the express written consent of the
Servicer and that all such information shall be kept strictly confidential.
It is the intention of this Agreement that the conveyance of the
Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Trust Fund pursuant to this
Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. If a conveyance
of Mortgage Loans from any Seller to the Depositor is characterized as a pledge
and not a sale, then the Depositor shall be deemed to have transferred to the
Trustee all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under the
obligations of such Seller deemed to be secured by said pledge; and it is the
intention of this Agreement that the Depositor shall also be deemed to have
granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the
Depositor's right, title, and interest in, to and under the obligations of such
Seller to the Depositor deemed to be secured by said pledge and that the Trustee
shall be deemed to be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the
security interest granted to the Depositor. If the conveyance of the Mortgage
Loans from the Depositor to the Trustee is characterized as a pledge, it is the
intention of this Agreement that this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law, and that the Depositor shall be deemed to have
granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the
Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, all
payments of principal of or interest on such Mortgage Loans, all other rights
relating to and payments made in respect of the Trust Fund, and all proceeds of
any thereof. If the trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the
satisfaction of the claims of any Person in any Certificates, 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.
In addition to the conveyance made in the first paragraph of this Section
2.01, the Depositor does hereby convey, assign and set over to the Trustee all
of its right, title and interest in that portion of the Trust Fund described in
items (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of the definition thereof and further assigns to
the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders those representations and
warranties of the Seller contained in the Sale Agreement and described in
Section 3.01 hereof and the benefit of the repurchase obligations of the Seller
described in Sections 2.02 and 3.01 hereof and the obligations of the Seller
contained in the Sale Agreement to take, at the request of the Depositor or the
Trustee, all action on its part which is reasonably necessary to ensure the
enforceability of a Mortgage Loan.
The parties hereto agree and understand that it is not intended that any
mortgage loan be included in the Trust that is any of (i) a "High-Cost Home
Loan" as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27,
2003, (ii) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan
Protection Act effective January 1, 2004, (iii) a "High-Cost Home Mortgage Loan"
as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act effective
November 7, 2004 or (iv) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined by the Indiana High

Report delivered contemporaneously herewith (the "Exception Report"), the
Trustee acknowledges receipt by the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf of the
Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan and delivery of a Mortgage File (but does
not acknowledge receipt of all documents required to be included in such
Mortgage File) with respect to each Mortgage Loan and declares that the
Custodian holds and will hold on the Trustee's behalf such documents and any
other documents constituting a part of the Mortgage Files delivered to it in
trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The
Depositor will cause the Seller to repurchase any Mortgage Loans to which an
exception was taken in the Exception
42
Report unless such exception is cured to the satisfaction of the Trustee within
45 Business Days of the Closing Date. The Trustee may accept delivery of such
Mortgage Files by the Custodian on its behalf. The Custodian will deliver a copy
of the Exception Report to the Depositor and the Trustee
The Custodian, on the Trustee's behalf, agrees, for the benefit of
Certificateholders, to review each Mortgage File delivered to it within 270 days
after the Closing Date to ascertain that all documents required by Section 2.01
have been executed and received, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage
Loans identified in Exhibit A that have been conveyed to it. If the Custodian on
the Trustee's behalf finds any document or documents constituting a part of a
Mortgage File to be missing or defective (that is, mutilated, damaged, defaced
or unexecuted) in any material respect, the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf
shall promptly (and in any event within no more than five Business Days) after
such finding so notify the Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Depositor.
In addition, the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf shall also notify the
Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Depositor, if (a) in examining the
Mortgage Files, the documentation shows on its face (i) any adverse claim, lien
or encumbrance, (ii) that any Mortgage Note was overdue or had been dishonored,
(iii) any evidence on the face of any Mortgage Note or Mortgage of any security
interest or other right or interest therein, or (iv) any defense against or
claim to the Mortgage Note by any party or (b) the original Mortgage with
evidence of recording thereon with respect to a Mortgage Loan is not received
within 270 days of the Closing Date; provided, however, that if the Depositor
cannot deliver the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon because
of a delay caused by the public recording office where such Mortgage has been
delivered for recordation, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Custodian and the Trustee written notice stating that such Mortgage has
been delivered to the appropriate public recording officer for recordation and
thereafter the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered such Mortgage
with evidence of recording thereon upon receipt thereof from the public
recording office. The Depositor shall request that the Seller correct or cure
such omission, defect or other irregularity, or substitute a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.03, within 60 days from the date the
Seller was notified of such omission or defect and, if the Seller does not
correct or cure such omission or defect within such period, that the Seller
purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from the date the
Depositor notified the Seller and the Trustee of such omission, defect or other
irregularity at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan. The Purchase Price for
any Mortgage Loan purchased pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be paid to the
Servicer and deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account promptly upon
receipt, and, upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such
deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall promptly release to the
Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as shall be necessary
to vest in the Seller or its designee, as the case may be, any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility
with regard to such Mortgage Loan. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Seller to purchase, cure or substitute any Mortgage Loan as to
which a material defect in or omission of a constituent document exists shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect or omission available to the
Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. The Trustee shall be under no duty or
obligation to inspect, review and examine such documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable or

acknowledges and accepts the assignment to it of the Trust Fund created pursuant
to this Agreement in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it for the
benefit of the Trust Fund of the Mortgage Loans and has caused to be

Section 2.04 REMIC Elections.
(a) The Depositor hereby instructs and authorizes the Paying Agent to make
appropriate elections to treat the Trust Fund as comprising three REMICs (the
Lower-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC). This
Agreement shall be construed so as to carry out the intention of the parties
that each REMIC created hereunder be treated as a REMIC at all times prior to
the date on which the Trust Fund is terminated. The Closing Date is hereby
designated as the "startup day" of each REMIC created hereunder within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The Lower-Tier REMIC shall hold as
assets all property of the Trust Fund other than (i) the Lower-Tier REMIC
Interests and the Middle-Tier REMIC Interests and (ii) the Yield Maintenance
Agreement and the Reserve Fund. Each of the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests
is hereby designated a "regular interest" (within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(1) of the Code) in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Middle-Tier REMIC shall
hold as assets the several classes of uncertificated Lower-Tier REMIC Regular
Interests. Each of the Middle-Tier REMIC Regular Interests is hereby designated
a "regular interest" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code) in
the Middle-Tier REMIC. The Upper-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the several
classes of uncertificated Middle-Tier REMIC Regular Interests. Each of the
Upper-Tier REMIC Regular Interests is hereby designated as a "regular interest"
(within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code) in the Upper-Tier REMIC.
The Class LT-R Interest is hereby designated as the sole residual interest
(within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code) in the Lower-Tier REMIC.
The Class MT-R Interest is hereby designated as the sole residual interest
(within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code) in the Middle-Tier REMIC.
The Residual Interest is hereby designated as the sole residual interest (within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code) in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The
Class A-R Certificate evidences ownership of the Class LT-R Interest, the Class
MT-R Interest and the Residual Interest. All interests described in this Section
2.04(a) shall be designated as such on the Startup Day.

The following table specifies the class designation, initial principal
amount, pass-through rate and related Mortgage Group for each class of
Lower-Tier REMIC Interest.
Lower-Tier REMIC Interest Initial Principal Amount Pass-Through Rate Related Mortgage Group

LT1-B (6) 6.00% Mortgage Group One
LT2-A (7) 5.50% Mortgage Group Two
LT2-B (6) 5.50% Mortgage Group Two
(1) The Class LT-R Interest shall represent the sole class of residual interest
in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Class LT-R Interest will not have a principal
amount or an interest rate. The Class LT-R Interest shall be represented by
the Class A-R Certificate.
(2) The initial principal amount of the Class LTA-P Interest shall equal the
Original Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-P Certificates.
(3) The Class LT1A-X Interest is an interest only interest, has no principal
balance, is not entitled to payments of principal and will bear interest on
its notional amount. The notional amount of the Class LT1A-X Interest shall
equal the Class 1-AX Notional Amount.
(4) The Class LT2A-X Interest is an interest only interest, has no principal
balance, is not entitled to payments of principal and will bear interest on
its notional amount. The notional amount of the Class LT2A-X Interest shall
equal the Class 2-AX Notional Amount.
(5) The initial principal amount of the Class LT1-A Interest shall equal 1% of
the Group One Subordinated Amount as of the first Distribution Date.
(6) The initial principal amount of each Lower-Tier REMIC Interest ending with
the designation "B" shall equal the excess of (i) the initial Group One
Non-PO Allocated Amount (in the case of the Class LT1-B Interest) or the
initial Group Two Non-PO Allocated Amount (in the case of the Class LT2-B
Interest) over (ii) the initial principal amount of the Lower-Tier REMIC
Interest ending with the designation "A" that is related to the same
Mortgage Group.
(7) The initial principal amount of the Class LT2-A Interest shall equal 1% of
the Group Two Subordinated Amount as of the first Distribution Date.
Interest shall be payable to, and shortfalls and losses are allocable to,
the Class LT1-AX Interest as such amounts are payable or allocable to the Class
1-AX Certificates. Interest shall be payable to, and shortfalls and losses are
allocable to, the Class LT2-AX Interest as such amounts are payable or allocable
to the Class 2-AX Certificates.
Principal shall be payable to, and shortfalls, losses, prepayments and
increases in principal amount related to Subsequent Recoveries are allocable to,
the Class LTA-P Interest as such amounts are payable or allocable to the Class
A-P Certificates.
After the foregoing allocations and distributions are made to the Class
LT1-AX Interest, Class
45
LT2-AX Interest and the Class LTA-P Interest, distributions shall be deemed to
be made and Realized Losses shall be deemed to be allocated to the other
Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests first, so as to keep the Uncertificated
Principal Balance of each Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interest ending with the
designation "A" equal to 1% of the excess of (x) the Group One Non-PO Allocated
Amount (in the case of the Class LT1-A Interest) or the Group Two Non-PO
Allocated Amount (in the case of the Class LT2-A Interest) over (y) the
aggregate class principal amounts of the Class 1-A Certificates (in the case of
the Class LT1-A Interest) or the Class 2-A Certificates (in the case of the
Class LT2-A Interest) (except that if 1% of any such excess is greater than the
principal amount of the corresponding Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interest ending
with the designation "A", the least amount of principal and Realized Losses
shall be distributed and allocated to such Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests
such that the Lower-Tier REMIC Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and
second, any remaining principal and Realized Losses to the Lower-Tier REMIC
Regular Interests ending with the designation "B" in such a manner that the
remaining principal balance of each such Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interest
equals the excess of (x) the Group One Non-PO Allocated Amount (in the case of
the Class LT1-B Interest) or the Group Two Non-PO Allocated Amount (in the case
of the Class LT2-B Interest) over (y) the Uncertificated Principal Balance of
the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interest ending with the designation "A" which is
related to the same Mortgage Group. All computations with respect to the
Lower-Tier REMIC Interests shall be taken out to eight decimal places.
If on any Distribution Date there is an increase in the principal amount of
any Class of Certificates (other than the Class A-P Certificates) related to
Subsequent Recoveries, then, prior to distributions of principal and allocations
of losses on such Distribution Date with respect to the Lower-Tier REMIC, there
shall be a corresponding increase in the Uncertificated Principal Balance of the
Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests, with such increase allocated among the
Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests first, to each Lower-Tier REMIC Regular
Interest ending with the designation "A", so that the Uncertificated Principal
Balance of each such Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interest continues to equal the
same percentage of the excess of (x) the Group One Non-PO Allocated Amount (in
the case of the Class LT1-A Interest) or the Group Two Non-PO Allocated Amount
(in the case of the Class LT2-A Interest) over (y) the aggregate class principal
amounts of the Class 1-A Certificates (in the case of the Class LT1-A Interest)
or the Class 2-A Certificates (in the case of the Class LT2-A Interest) and so
that the Lower-Tier REMIC Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained; and second,
any remaining increase allocated to the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests
ending with the designation "B" in such a manner that the principal balance of
each such Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interest equals the excess of (x) the Group
One Non-PO Allocated Amount (in the case of the Class LT1-B Interest) or the
Group Two Non-PO Allocated Amount (in the case of the Class LT2-B Interest) over
(y) the Uncertificated Principal Balance of the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular
Interest ending with the designation "A" which is related to the same Mortgage
Group.

(1) The Class MT-R Interest shall represent the sole class of residual interest
in the Middle-Tier REMIC. The Class MT-R Interest will not have a principal
amount or an interest rate. The Class MT-R Interest shall be represented by
the Class A-R Certificate.
(2) The initial principal amount of each of these interests shall be equal to
the Original Certificate Principal Balance the Class of corresponding
Certificates (disregarding the notional amount of any class of
"interest-only" certificates).
(3) The Class MT1-AX Interest is an interest only interest, has no principal
balance, is not entitled to payments of principal and will bear interest on
its notional amount. The notional amount of the Class MT1-AX Interest shall

per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates on the
Class LT1-A Interest and the Class LT2-A Interest weighted on the basis of
their principal amounts immediately prior to such Distribution Date.
Principal and interest (disregarding payments in respect of Basis Risk Shortfall
Carryover Amounts) shall be payable to, and shortfalls, losses, prepayments and
increases in principal amount are allocable to, the
47
Middle-Tier REMIC Regular Interests as such amounts are payable and allocable to
the corresponding certificates under this Agreement (computed as if no
Exchangeable Certificates existed and by excluding Section 6.01(I)(a)(v)
hereof).
48
(b) Solely for the purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury
Regulations, the "latest possible maturity date" of each "regular interest" in
each REMIC created hereunder is the Distribution Date immediately following the
latest scheduled maturity of any Mortgage Loan.
(c) The "tax matters person" with respect to each REMIC created hereunder
for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the beneficial owner of the Class
A-R Certificate having the largest Percentage Interest of such Class; provided,
however, that such largest beneficial owner and, to the extent relevant, each
other Holder of a Class A-R Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, irrevocably
appoints the Servicer as its agent and attorney-in-fact to act as "tax matters
person" with respect to each REMIC created hereunder for purposes of the REMIC
provisions.
(d) It is intended that each REMIC created hereunder shall constitute, and
that the affairs of the Trust Fund shall be conducted so as to qualify each
REMIC created hereunder as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as
defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such
intention, the Servicer covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the
Servicer is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of the Trust Fund, each
REMIC created hereunder and the Holder of the Class A-R Certificate and that in
such capacity it shall:
(i) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely
manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return
(Form 1066) for each REMIC created hereunder and prepare and file or cause
to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable
state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each
taxable year with respect to each REMIC created hereunder, using the
calendar year as the taxable year and the accrual method of accounting,
containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be
required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and
shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules,
statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be
required thereby;
(ii) within thirty days of the Closing Date, shall furnish or cause to
be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or as otherwise
may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number
of the person that the Holders of the Certificates may contact for tax
information relating thereto (and the Servicer shall act as the
representative of the Trust Fund for this purpose), together with such
additional information as may be required by such Form, and shall update
such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code;
(iii) make or cause to be made an election, on behalf of each REMIC
created hereunder, to be treated as a REMIC, and make the appropriate
designations, if applicable, in accordance with this Section 2.04 on the
federal tax return of each REMIC hereunder for its first taxable year (and,
if necessary, under applicable state law);
(iv) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to
the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if
necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns or reports, or
furnish or cause to be furnished by telephone, mail, publication or other
appropriate method such information, as and when required to be provided to
them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation,
the calculation of any original issue discount;
(v) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed
on the transfer of the Class A-R Certificate to a Disqualified
Organization, or an agent (including a broker,
49
nominee or other middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, or a
pass-through entity in which a Disqualified Organization is the record
holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such
information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax);
(vi) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information
returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other Person as may be
required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws,
regulations or rules; and
(vii) maintain such records relating to each REMIC created hereunder
as may be required by the Code and as may be necessary to prepare the
foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information.
(e) Pursuant to Section 6.02(b), the Servicer, with the consent of the
Trustee, hereby appoints the Global Corporate Trust MBS Group of The Bank of New
York Trust Company, N.A. to perform the duties enumerated in (d) above.
(f) It is intended that the rights of each of the Class 1-A1 Certificates
to receive payments in respect of Basis Risk Shortfall Carryover Amounts shall
be treated as a right in interest rate cap contracts and such shall be accounted
for as property held separate and apart from the regular interests in the
Upper-Tier REMIC held by the Holders of the Class 1-A1 Certificates. This
provision is intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860G-2(i) for the treatment of property rights coupled with REMIC
interests to be separately respected and shall be interpreted consistently with
such regulation.
Section 2.05 Permitted Activities of Trust. The Trust is created for the
object and purpose of engaging in the Permitted Activities.

special purpose entity" as such term is used in SFAS 140 and any successor rule
thereto and its power and authority as stated in Section 2.05 of this Agreement
shall be limited in accordance with paragraph 35 thereof.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE DEPOSITOR AND
THE SERVICER; REPURCHASE OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor with respect
to the Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the benefit
of the Certificateholders that on or before the Closing Date it has entered into
the Sale Agreement with the Seller, that the Seller has made the following
representations and warranties with respect to each Mortgage Loan in the Sale
Agreement as of the Closing Date, which representations and warranties run to
and are for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, and as to which the Depositor has assigned to the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the
right to cause the Seller to repurchase a Mortgage Loan as to which there has
occurred an uncured breach of representations and warranties in accordance with
the provisions of the Sale Agreement.
50
(a) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete,
true and correct in all material respects;
(b) With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage
creates a first lien or a first priority ownership interest in an estate in fee
simple in real property securing the related Mortgage Note. With respect to a
Co-op Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid, enforceable and subsisting first
security interest on the related cooperative shares securing the related
Mortgage Note, subject only to (a) liens of the related residential cooperative
housing corporation for unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor's pro rata
share of the related residential cooperative housing corporation's payments for
its blanket mortgage, current and future real property taxes, insurance
premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments to which like collateral is
commonly subject and (b) other matters to which like collateral is commonly
subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security
intended to be provided by the related security agreement. There are no liens
against or security interest in the cooperative shares relating to each Co-op
Loan (except for unpaid maintenance, assessments and other amounts owed to the
related cooperative which individually or in the aggregate will not have a
material adverse effect on such Co-op Loan), which have priority over the
Trustee's security interest in such cooperative shares;
(c) All payments due prior to the Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan have
been made as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan is not delinquent in payment
more than 30 days and has not been dishonored; to the best of the Seller's
knowledge, there are no material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan;
the Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received
any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property
subject to the Mortgage (or, with respect to a Co-op Loan, the related
Mortgagor), directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by
the Mortgage Loan; there has been no more than one delinquency in excess of 30
days during the preceding twelve-month period;
(d) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, all taxes, governmental
assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold
payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid,
or escrow funds have been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every
such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not
yet due and payable;
(e) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired,
waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments. No
Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof except
in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption agreement is
part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule;
(f) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the
defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury,
and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been
asserted with respect thereto, and the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state
or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was
originated;
(g) With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, all
buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property
are insured by an insurer acceptable under the FNMA Guides against loss by fire,
hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the
FNMA Guides or by FHLMC. All such standard hazard policies are in full force and
51
effect and on the date of origination contained a standard mortgagee clause
naming the Seller and its successors in interest and assigns as loss payee and
such clause is still in effect and all premiums due thereon have been paid. If
required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Mortgaged
Property is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration which policy conforms
to FNMA and FHLMC requirements. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder
to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the
Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain
such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement
therefor from the Mortgagor;
(h) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local laws and all
applicable predatory and abusive lending laws, including, without limitation,
usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit
protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the
Mortgage Loan have been complied with in all material respects;
(i) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated, in whole
or in part, or rescinded, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from
the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part nor has any instrument been
executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or
rescission;
(j) With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage
is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged
Property, including, all buildings on the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgage and
the Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other
interest or right thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims,
liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage
subject only to (1) the lien of non-delinquent current real property taxes and
assessments not yet due and payable, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions,
rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date
of recording which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and
either (A) which are referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made
for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect
the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal,
and (3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not
materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided
by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related
Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent
document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan
establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first
lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein, and
the Depositor has the full right to sell and assign the same to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholders;
(k) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and
each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof,
enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of
creditors and the Depositor has taken all action necessary to transfer such
rights of enforceability to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the
legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been
duly and property executed by such parties. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan
have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances
thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or
off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have
been complied with;
(l) The Seller is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the
indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note, except for the Assignments of
Mortgage which have been sent for
52
recording, and upon recordation the Seller will be the owner of record of the
Mortgage and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note, and upon the sale
of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the
Seller will retain the Mortgage File or any part thereof with respect thereto
not delivered to the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders or its
designee in trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the
servicing of the Mortgage Loan. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment
to the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Mortgage Loan,
including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not subject to an assignment
or pledge, and the Depositor had good and marketable title to and was the sole
owner thereof and had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders free and clear of any
encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest and has
the full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or
agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the Mortgage Loan pursuant
to this Agreement and following the sale of the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholders will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear
of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim
or security interest;
(m) With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage
Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other generally
acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, issued by a
title insurer acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the
exceptions contained in (j) (1), (2) and (3) above) the Seller, its successors
and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. Such lender's title insurance policy
insures ingress and egress by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest
therein. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given
the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance.
The Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender's
title insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is in full
force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under
such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related
Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which
would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;
(n) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
existent, under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which,
with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure
period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting
acceleration; and neither the Seller nor any prior mortgagee has waived any
default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration;
(o) There are no mechanics', or similar liens or claims which have been
filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law
could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property (or the
related residential dwelling unit in the Underlying Mortgage Property, in the
case of a Co-op Loan) which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of
the related Mortgage;
(p) With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, all
improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and
building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the
project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured
against by the title insurance policy referred to in clause (m) above and all
improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision
laws and ordinances; the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under
applicable law;
(q) The Mortgage Loan complies in all material respects with all the terms,
conditions and requirements of the Seller's underwriting standards in effect at
the time of origination of such Mortgage
53
Loan. The Mortgage Notes and Mortgages (exclusive of any riders) are on forms
generally acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC. Monthly Payments under the Mortgage Note
are due and payable on the first day of each month. The Mortgage contains the
usual and enforceable provisions of the originator at the time of origination
for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the
Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior
consent of the mortgagee thereunder;
(r) The Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case
of a Co-op Loan), is not subject to any material damage by waste, fire,
earthquake, windstorm, flood or other casualty. To the best of the Seller's
knowledge, at origination of the Mortgage Loan there was, and there currently
is, no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged
Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan);
(s) The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such
as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security
provided thereby, including, (l) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed
of trust, by trustee's sale, and (2) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is
no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere
with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right
to foreclose the Mortgage subject to applicable federal and state laws and
judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption or similar
law;
(t) If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and
duly qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has been
properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no
fees or expenses, except as may be required by local law, are or will become
payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in
connection with a trustee's sale or attempted sale after default by the
Mortgagor;
(u) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal or a recertification document
(in the case of a Mortgage Loan originated under CHF's Streamlined Refinance
Program) of the related Mortgaged Property (or the related residential dwelling
unit in the Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan), signed
prior to the final approval of the mortgage loan application by an appraiser
approved by the Seller who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged
Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan), or in
any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by
the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. The appraisal is in a form
acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC;
(v) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as
mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which
they held and disposed of such interest, were) (A) in substantial compliance
with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state
wherein the Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of
a Co-op Loan), is located, and (B) (1) organized under the laws of such state,
or (2) qualified to do business in such state, or (3) federal savings and loan
associations or national banks or a Federal Home Loan Bank or savings bank
having principal offices in such state, or (4) not doing business in such state;
(w) The related Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any
collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security
interest of any applicable security interest of any applicable agreement or
chattel mortgage referred to above and such collateral does not serve as
security for any other obligation;
(x) The Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required by
applicable law with respect to the making of such mortgage loans;
54
(y) The Mortgage Loan does not contain "graduated payment" features;
(z) The Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy and, to the best of the Seller's
knowledge, the Mortgagor is not insolvent;
(aa) The Mortgage Loans are fixed rate mortgage loans. Each Mortgage Loan
has an original term to maturity of not more than thirty (30) years with
interest payable in arrears on the first day of each month. No Mortgage Loan
contains terms or provisions which would result in negative amortization;
(bb) Each Mortgage Note, each Mortgage, each Assignment of Mortgage and any
other documents required pursuant to this Agreement to be delivered to the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders or its designee, or its assignee for
each Mortgage Loan, have been, on or before the Closing Date, delivered to the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders or its designee, or its assignee;
(cc) All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance with state
and federal law and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. As
to any Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an escrow, escrow of funds is not
prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to
pay for every escrowed item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not
yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or other charges or payments due under
the Mortgage Note have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related
Mortgage Note. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and
local law has been properly paid and credited;
(dd) [Reserved];
(ee) In the event that at origination the Mortgage Loan has a Loan-to-Value
Ratio greater than 80%, the excess of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan
over 75% of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, with respect to a
refinanced Mortgage Loan, or the lesser of the Appraised Value or the purchase
price of the Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case
of a Co-op Loan), with respect to a purchase money Mortgage Loan, is and will be
insured as to payment defaults by a Primary Insurance Policy issued by a
Qualified Insurer, except where the primary mortgage insurance was (i)
impermissible at origination at applicable law, in which case such Mortgage Loan
was originated in accordance with applicable law, (ii) cancelled at the request
of the Mortgagor pursuant to the cancellation requirements of FNMA, FHLMC, state
law or, as applicable the Home Owner and Equity Protection Act of 1994, as
amended, or (iii) automatically terminated in accordance with the termination
requirements of FNMA, FHLMC, state law or, as applicable the Home Owner and
Equity Protection Act of 1994, as amended. All provisions of such Primary
Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full
force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No action,
inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will
result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage
Loan subject to a Primary Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to
maintain the Primary Insurance Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in
connection therewith. The Mortgage Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium;
(ff) The Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for
recording (or, in the case of a Co-op Loan, is in a form acceptable for filing)
under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property (or
underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) is located;
(gg) As to Mortgage Loans that are not secured by an interest in a
leasehold estate, the Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in
the case of a Co-op Loan), is located in the state identified in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached
single family residence erected thereon, or a two-to four-family dwelling, or an
individual
55
condominium unit in a condominium project, or a dwelling unit in a residential
cooperative housing corporation or an individual unit in an attached planned
unit development or a detached planned unit development, provided, however, that
no residence or dwelling is a single parcel of real property with a mobile home
thereon. As of the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property (or
Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan), was used for
commercial purposes, and since the date of origination, to the best of the
Seller's knowledge, no portion of the Mortgaged Property (or Underlying
Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan), is used for commercial
purposes;
(hh) If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit
development (other than a de minimis planned unit development), as of the date
of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, such condominium or planned unit
development project met the Seller's eligibility requirements, as set forth in
the Seller's underwriting guidelines as of such date; in the case of each Co-op
Loan, the related residential cooperative housing corporation complied in all
material respects with the Seller's requirements as set forth in the Seller's
underwriting guidelines as of such date;
(ii) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, there is no pending action or
proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged
Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan), in which compliance with any
environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue;
(jj) As of the Cut-off Date, the Seller has not granted any interest rate
relief to the Mortgagor under the Relief Act;
(kk) No Mortgage Loan was made in connection with the construction or
rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the
case of a Co-op Loan), or facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged
Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan);
(ll) No action has been taken or failed to be taken by Depositor, on or
prior to the Closing Date, which has resulted or will result in an exclusion
from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any Primary Insurance Policy
(including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would
limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the
loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions,
representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Depositor, or
for any other reason under such coverage;
(mm) The Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved by the
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of
the National Housing Act, as amended, a savings and loan association, a savings
bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar institution
which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority;
(nn) Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty
(60) days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The
Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in equal monthly
installments of principal and interest, with interest calculated and payable in
arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity
date, over an original term of not more than thirty years from commencement of
amortization;
(oo) As of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (without regard to Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f) or any similar rule that provides that a
defective obligation is a qualified mortgage for a temporary period);
56
(pp) With respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Co-op Loan, the stock that
is pledged as security for the Mortgage Loan is held by a Person as a
tenant-stockholder (as defined in Section 216 of the Code) in a cooperative
housing corporation (as defined in Section 216 of the Code);
(qq) As of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan is not the subject of
pending or final foreclosure proceedings and the Seller would not, based on the
delinquency status of the Mortgage Loan, institute foreclosure proceedings with
respect to the Mortgage Loan prior to the next scheduled payment for the
Mortgage Loan;
(rr) As of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan does not provide for
interest other than at either (i) a single fixed rate in effect throughout the
term of the Mortgage Loan or (ii) a "variable rate" (within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(3)) in effect throughout the term of the
Mortgage Loan;
(ss) No Mortgage Loan is a "covered loan" within the meaning of the Georgia
Fair Lending Act of 2002, as amended;
(tt) None of the Mortgage Loans are (a) covered by the Home Ownership and
Equity Protection Act of 1994 or (b) classified as a "high cost" loan or
similarly classified using different terminology under any federal, state or
local law imposing heightened regulatory scrutiny or additional legal liability
for residential mortgage loans having high interest rates, points and/or fees
such as predatory lending laws; None of the Mortgage Loans are "high cost" loans
as defined by the applicable federal, state or local predatory and abusive
lending laws nor is any Mortgage Loan a "High Cost Loan" or "Covered Loan," as
applicable (as such terms are defined in the current Standard & Poor's LEVELS(R)
Glossary which is now version 5.6 revised, appendix E) and no Mortgage Loan
originated on or after October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed by the
Georgia Fair Lending Act of 2002, as amended; and
(uu) As to each Mortgage Loan that is secured by an interest in a leasehold
estate, (i) the use of a leasehold estate for residential properties is an
accepted practice in the area where the related Mortgaged Property is located,
(ii) residential property consisting of leasehold estates is marketable in the
area where the related Mortgaged Property is located, (iii) the related lease
has been recorded in the applicable land records, (iv) the lease is valid and in
good standing and is not subject to any prior lien by which the lease could be
terminated or subject to any charge or penalty, and (v) the remaining term of
the lease does not terminate less than five years after the maturity date of
such Mortgage Loan.
Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a
breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially
and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the interest of the
Certificateholders (or which materially and adversely affects the interests of
the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a
representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties
and to the Seller, which notice shall specify the date of discovery. Pursuant to
the Sale Agreement, the Seller shall within 90 days from the earlier of (i) the
date of receipt of notice of such breach or (ii) the date the Seller otherwise
discovers such breach, cure such breach, substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
the provisions of Section 3.03 or, if the breach relates to a particular
Mortgage Loan, purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the Purchase
Price. The Purchase Price for the purchased Mortgage Loan shall be paid to the
Servicer and shall be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account
promptly upon receipt, and, upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification
of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall promptly
release to the Seller the related Mortgage File, and the Trustee shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment as may be provided to it
by the Servicer, without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller
or its
57
designee, as the case may be, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and
the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage
Loan. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure,
substitute or purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred
shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholder.
Section 3.02 Representations and Warranties of the Servicer. The Servicer
represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Trustee for the benefit of
the Certificateholders that as of the Closing Date:
(a) The Servicer is a limited liability company duly chartered and validly
existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and the
Servicer is duly qualified or registered as a foreign corporation in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the ownership or lease or its properties
or the conduct of its business requires such qualification;
(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Servicer and its
performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not violate the
Servicer's certificate of formation or by-laws or constitute a default (or an
event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default)
under, or result in the breach of, any material contract, agreement or other
instrument to which the Servicer is a party or which may be applicable to the
Servicer or any of its assets;
(c) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by
the Trustee and the Depositor, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation
of the Servicer, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and
other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and to
general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;
(d) The Servicer is not in default with respect to any order or decree of
any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal or
governmental agency, which default might have consequences that would materially
and adversely affect the condition (financial or other) or operations of the
Servicer or its properties or might have consequences that would affect its
performance hereunder; and
(e) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Servicer's knowledge,
threatened against the Servicer which would prohibit its entering into this
Agreement or performing its obligations under this Agreement. It is understood
and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section
3.02 shall survive the issuance and delivery of the Certificates and shall be
continuing as long as any Certificate shall be outstanding or this Agreement has
been terminated.
Section 3.03 Option to Substitute. If the Seller is required to repurchase
any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 3.01, the Seller may, at its
option, within two years from the Closing Date, remove such defective Mortgage
Loan from the terms of this Agreement and substitute another mortgage loan for
such defective Mortgage Loan, in lieu of repurchasing such defective Mortgage
Loan. Any substitute Mortgage Loan shall (a) have a Principal Balance at the
time of substitution not in excess of the Principal Balance of the removed
Mortgage Loan (the amount of any difference, plus one month's interest thereon
at the Mortgage Rate borne by the removed Mortgage Loan, being paid by the
Seller and deemed to be a Principal Prepayment to be deposited by the Servicer
in the Collection Account), (b) have a Mortgage Rate not less than, and not more
than one percentage point greater than, the Mortgage Rate of the removed
Mortgage Loan (provided, however, that if the Mortgage Rate on the substitute
Mortgage Loan exceeds the Mortgage Rate on the removed Mortgage Loan, the amount
of that excess interest (the
58
"Substitute Excess Interest") shall be payable to the Class A-R Certificate),
(c) have a remaining term to stated maturity not later than, and not more than
one year less than, the remaining term to stated maturity of the removed
Mortgage Loan, (d) be, in the reasonable determination of the Servicer, of the
same type, quality and character (including location of the Mortgaged Property
(or underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan)) as the removed
Mortgage Loan as if the breach had not occurred, (e) have a Loan-to-Value Ratio
at origination no greater than that of the removed Mortgage Loan and (f) be, in
the reasonable determination of the Seller, in material compliance with the
representations and warranties contained in the Sale Agreement and described in
Section 3.01, as of the date of substitution.
The Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal
of the removed Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and the substitution of such
substitute Mortgage Loan therefor and shall send a copy of such amended Mortgage
Loan Schedule to the Servicer and the Trustee. The Sale Agreement provides that
upon such amendment the Seller shall be deemed to have made as to such
substitute Mortgage Loan the representations and warranties set forth in Section
3.01 as of the date of such substitution, which shall be continuing as long as
any Certificate shall be outstanding or this Agreement has not been terminated,
and the remedies for breach of any such representation or warranty shall be as
set forth in Section 3.01. Upon such amendment, the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee shall review the Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the
substitute Mortgage Loan, within the time and in the manner and with the
remedies specified in Section 2.02, except that for purposes of this Section
3.03 (other than the two-year period specified in the first sentence of this
Section), such time shall be measured from the date of the applicable
substitution. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the
substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any
Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of
the Trust Fund, and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for
which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during
such month shall be the property of the Seller. The principal payment on a
substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall
be the property of the Seller, and the principal payment on the Mortgage Loan
for which the substitution is made due on such date shall be the property of the
Trust Fund.

officers of the Depositor shall bind the Depositor, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to be an officer prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Certificate or did not hold such offices at
the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such
Certificate a manual authentication by an officer of the Trustee (or if an
Authenticating Agent has been appointed pursuant to Section 4.06, the
Authenticating Agent) and such authentication 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.
Section 4.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, shall provide for the registration of
Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any
office or agency of the Trustee, or if a Paying Agent has been appointed
hereunder pursuant to Section 4.05, the Paying Agent maintained for such
purpose, the Depositor shall execute and the Trustee or if an Authenticating
Agent is appointed under Section 4.06, the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, a Certificate of a like Class and aggregate Percentage Interest and
dated the date of authentication by the Authenticating Agent.
(c) No transfer of a Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class B-5 Certificate shall be
made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration
statement or otherwise in accordance with the requirements under the Securities
Act. If such a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from said
Act, (i) the Depositor may require (except with respect to the initial transfer
of a Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class B-5 Certificate from X.X. Xxxxxx Securities
Inc. and except if the transferee executes a certificate substantially in the
form of Exhibit H hereto) a written opinion of independent counsel acceptable to
and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the
Trustee that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the
applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being
made pursuant to said Act and laws, which opinion of counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer, and (ii)
the Depositor shall require the transferee to execute a certification
substantially in the form of Exhibit H or Exhibit I.
(d) (i) No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate or a Class A-R
Certificate shall be made unless the prospective transferee provides the
Depositor and the Trustee with (I) a representation as set forth in Exhibit K
for Class A-R Certificates or in Exhibit M for ERISA Restricted Certificates to
the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject to Title
I of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan or arrangement
subject to any provisions under any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other
laws or regulations that are substantively similar to the foregoing provisions
of ERISA or the Code ("Similar Law") (collectively, a "Plan"), and is not
directly or indirectly acquiring the Certificate for, on behalf of or with any
assets of any such Plan, or (II) solely in the case of an ERISA Restricted
Certificate, (A) if the Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying
Underwriting, a
62
representation as set forth in Exhibit M that such transferee is an insurance
company that is acquiring the ERISA-Restricted Certificate with assets contained
in an "insurance company general account," as defined in Section V(E) of
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60, and the acquisition and
holding of the Certificate are covered and exempt under Sections I and III of
PTCE 95-60, or (B) solely in the case of a Definitive Certificate, an Opinion of
Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee to the effect
that the acquisition and holding of such Certificate will not constitute or
result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code, or a
violation of Similar Law, and will not subject the Depositor, the Servicer or
the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this
Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor,
the Servicer or the Trustee.
(ii) Except in the case of a Definitive Certificate, the
representations set forth in paragraph (i) of this Subsection 4.02(d), other
than subparagraph (i)(II)(B), shall be deemed to have been made to the Depositor
and the Trustee by the transferee's acceptance of an ERISA Restricted
Certificate or a Class A-R Certificate (or the acceptance by a Certificate Owner
of the beneficial interest in any Class of ERISA Restricted Certificates or a
Class A-R Certificate). Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the
contrary, any purported transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate or a Class
A-R Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Depositor
of a representation or an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Depositor and the Trustee as described above shall be void and of no effect.
None of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall be under any liability
to any Person for any registration or transfer of any ERISA Restricted
Certificate or Class A-R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this
Section 4.02(d) nor shall the Paying Agent be under 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 in accordance with the foregoing
requirements. The Depositor, Servicer, Paying Agent and/or Trustee shall be
entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA Restricted
Certificate or Class A-R Certificate that was in fact a Plan and that held such
Certificate in violation of this Section 4.02(d) all payments made on such ERISA
Restricted Certificate or Class A-R Certificate at and after the time it
commenced such holding. Any such payments so recovered shall be paid and
delivered to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not a Plan.
(e) At the option of a Certificateholder, a Certificate may be exchanged
for another Certificate or Certificates of authorized denominations of a like
Class, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency
of the Trustee, or if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the
Paying Agent, maintained for such purpose. Whenever the Certificate is so
surrendered for exchange, the Depositor shall execute and the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Certificate which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate
presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the
Authenticating Agent) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Authenticating Agent duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(f) No service charge shall be made to the Holder for any transfer or
exchange of a Certificate, but the Servicer may require payment by the
Certificateholders of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of such
Certificate.
(g) All Certificates surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be
destroyed by the Trustee or if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section
4.05, the Paying Agent, in accordance with the Trustee's or, if a Paying Agent
has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent's, standard procedures.
63
(h) [Reserved].
(i) A Disqualified Organization is prohibited from acquiring beneficial
ownership of a Class A-R Certificate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, (i) unless and until the Servicer and the Trustee shall have
received an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to it in form and substance, to the
effect that the absence of the conditions contained in this Section 4.02(i)
would not result in the imposition of federal tax upon any REMIC created
hereunder or cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC, no
transfer, sale or other disposition of the Class A-R Certificate (including for
purposes of this section any beneficial interest therein) may be made without
the express written consent of the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate
Registrar is appointed, the Trustee, which consent is to be granted by the
Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee
only upon compliance with the requirements of this Section and (ii) no transfer,
sale or other disposition of the Class A-R Certificate (or any beneficial
interest therein) may be made to a Person who is not a U.S. Person unless such
Person furnishes the transferor, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee, with
a duly completed and effective Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto) or an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such transfer is in accordance with the
requirements of the Code and that the transfer will not be disregarded for
federal income tax purposes. As a condition to granting its consent to a
transfer of a Class A-R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar or, if no
Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee, shall require the proposed
transferee of such Certificate (including, in the case of the initial issuance
of the Class A-R Certificate, the initial Holder thereof) to execute a letter
and affidavit substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K and shall
require the proposed transferor (other than in the case of the transfer to the
initial Holder) of such Certificate to execute a letter substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit K-1. In the absence of a contrary instruction
from the transferor of such Certificate, declaration (11) in the affidavit in
Exhibit K may be left blank. If the transferor requests by written notice to the
Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee,
prior to the date of the proposed transfer that one of the two other forms of
declaration (11) of such affidavit be used, then the Certificate Registrar or,
if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee, shall require that such
form of declaration (11) be included in such affidavit.
As a condition to the granting of the consent referred to in this Section
4.02(i), prior to the transfer, sale, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition
of the Class A-R Certificate or any interest therein, the Certificate Registrar
or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee shall require that (1)
the proposed transferee deliver to the Trustee or Certificate Registrar, as
applicable, its taxpayer identification number and state, under penalties of
perjury that such number is the social security or employer identification
number, as the case may be, of the transferee or provide an affidavit under
penalties of perjury stating that as of the date of such transfer such
transferee is not and has no intention of becoming a Disqualified Organization;
(2) the proposed transferee deliver to the Trustee or Certificate Registrar, as
applicable, an affidavit stating (i) that such transferee is not acquiring such
Class A-R Certificate as an agent, broker, nominee, or middleman for a
Disqualified Organization, (ii) if the Class A-R Certificate is a "non-economic
residual interest" within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.860E-1(c)(2), (X)
that no purpose of the acquisition of the Class A-R Certificate is to avoid or
impede the assessment or collection of tax, (Y) that such transferee has
historically paid its debts as they came due and will continue to pay its debts
as they come due, and (Z) that such transferee represents that it understands
that, as the holder of the non-economic residual interest, the transferee may
incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the interest and
that the transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the residual
interest, and (iii) unless the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate
Registrar is appointed, the Trustee consents to the transfer of the Class A-R
Certificate to a Person who is not a U.S. Person and who has furnished either a
duly completed and effective Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto) or an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the transfer will not be disregarded for
federal income tax purposes, that it is a U.S. Person; (3) if so requested by
the transferor in written notice provided to the Certificate Registrar or, if no
Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee, prior to the date of the
proposed transfer,
64
the proposed transferee deliver to the Trustee or Certificate Registrar, as
applicable, an affidavit that includes a declaration made in the form of
declaration (11) in the affidavit set forth in Exhibit K requested by the
transferor; and (4) the transferor deliver to the Certificate Registrar or, if
no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee a written certification that
as of the date of such transfer it has no knowledge and no reason to know that
the affirmations described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) were false. The
Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee
shall not grant the consent referred to in this Section 4.02(i) if it has actual
knowledge that any statement made in the affidavit issued pursuant to the
preceding sentence is not true. Notwithstanding any purported transfer, sale or
other disposition of the Class A-R Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or
in violation of the provisions of this Section 4.02(i), such transfer, sale or
other disposition shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever
and such Disqualified Organization shall not be deemed to be a Class A-R
Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the
receipt of distributions on such Class A-R Certificate. If any purported
transfer shall be in violation of the provisions of this Section 4.02(i) then
the prior Holder of the Class A-R Certificate shall, upon discovery that the
transfer of such Class A-R Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section
4.02(i), be restored to all rights and obligations as a Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of the purported transfer of such Class A-R Certificate.
The Trustee, the Servicer and the Certificate Registrar shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of a Class A-R
Certificate that is not permitted by this Section 4.02(i) or for making payments
due on such Class A-R Certificate to the purported Holder thereof or taking any
other action with respect to such purported Holder under the provisions of this
Agreement so long as the transfer was not registered under the written
certification of the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is
appointed, the Trustee as described in this Section 4.02(i). The prior Holder
shall be entitled to recover from any purported Holder of a Class A-R
Certificate that was in fact not a permitted purported transferee under this
Section 4.02(i) at the time it became a purported Holder all payments made to
such purported Holder on such Class A-R Certificate; provided that the Servicer
shall not be responsible for such recovery. Each Class A-R Certificateholder, by
the acceptance of the Class A-R Certificate, shall be deemed for all purposes to
have consented to the provisions of this Section 4.02(i) and to any amendment to
this Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Trustee or the Servicer to
ensure that the Class A-R Certificate is not transferred to a Disqualified
Organization and that any transfer of such Class A-R Certificate will not cause
the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC created hereunder or cause any REMIC
created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC. The restrictions on transfer of
the Class A-R Certificate will cease to apply and be void upon receipt by the
Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee
of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such restrictions on transfer are no
longer necessary to avoid the risk of material federal taxation to any REMIC
created hereunder or prevent any REMIC created hereunder from qualifying as a
REMIC.
(j) The Servicer shall make available upon written request to each Holder
and each proposed transferee of a Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class B-5 Certificate
such information as may be required to permit the proposed transfer to be
effected pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
Section 4.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any
mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has
been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, or the Trustee or, if a
Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has
been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, such security or indemnity
as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of notice to
the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the
Paying Agent, that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the
Paying Agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any
such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
tenor and Class. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section,
the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been
65
appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, may require of the
Certificateholder the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate of any Class issued
pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of
ownership of the Percentage Interest in the distributions to which the
Certificateholders of such Class are entitled, as if originally issued, whether
or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall be found at
any time, and such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall be of
no force or effect under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law.
Section 4.04 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a
Certificate of any Class for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
any Certificate is registered on the Record Date as the owner of such
Certificate and the Percentage Interest in the distributions to which the
Certificateholders of such Class are entitled on the relevant date as the Holder
of such Certificate and the Percentage Interest represented by such Certificate
for the purpose of receiving remittances pursuant to Section 6.01 and for all
other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the Servicer, the Paying
Agent nor the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 4.05 Appointment of Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar;
Certificate Account. The Trustee shall appoint a Paying Agent and a Certificate
Registrar (the "Certificate Registrar") hereunder, provided such Paying Agent
and such Certificate Registrar shall not be the Depositor, any Seller, or an
Affiliate of the Depositor or any Seller. No later than two Business Days prior
to each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited
with the Paying Agent from funds on deposit in the Collection Account a sum up
to the Available Distribution Amount, such sum to be held in trust for the
benefit of Certificateholders in a segregated account (the "Certificate
Account") which shall be an Eligible Account in the name of "The Bank of New
York Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee, in trust for and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders of Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Chase
Mortgage Finance Corporation, Series 2007-S2 - Certificate Account". The Paying
Agent shall establish such Certificate Account with a commercial bank, a savings
bank or a savings and loan association. The Paying Agent may invest moneys in
the Certificate Account in Eligible Investments, which shall mature not later
than a date sufficient to make payment on the Distribution Date next following
the date of such investment and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to
maturity. All income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the
benefit of the Paying Agent as additional compensation and shall be subject to
its withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in
respect of any such investments (to the extent not offset by income from other
such investments) shall be deposited in the Certificate Account by the Paying
Agent out of its own funds immediately as realized. The Servicer shall cause the
Paying Agent to perform each of the obligations of the Paying Agent set forth
herein and shall be liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for failure
of the Paying Agent to perform such obligations. So long as the Paying Agent is
a party other than the Trustee, the Trustee shall have no liability in
connection with the performance or failure of performance of the Paying Agent.
The Trustee designates The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. as the initial
Paying Agent and initial Certificate Registrar. Only the Trustee may remove the
Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar and may do so at will, provided that the
Trustee gives 20 days' prior written notice of such removal to the Paying Agent
and Certificate Registrar and the Rating Agencies.
The Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment to
Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled
thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders.
Section 4.06 Authenticating Agents.
66
(a) The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents (each, an
"Authenticating Agent") which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the
Trustee in authenticating the Certificates. Wherever reference is made in this
Agreement to the 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 an entity 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 laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authorities. So long as the Authenticating Agent is a party
other than the Trustee, the Trustee shall have no liability in connection with
the performance or failure of performance of the Authenticating Agent. The
Trustee hereby appoints the Paying Agent as the initial Authenticating Agent.
(b) Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent 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 by
giving written notice of termination to such 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 within the provisions of this Section 4.06, 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 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 4.06. No
Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability for any action taken
by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Each of the Authenticating Agent,
Certificate Registrar and Paying Agent shall be afforded the same rights,
protections and indemnities as the Trustee as set forth under Article VIII
hereunder.
[END OF ARTICLE IV]
ARTICLE V
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 5.01 Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall service
and administer the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority,
acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 5.02, to do any and
all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such
servicing and administration, all in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its
own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer shall, pursuant to a power of attorney
granted hereby by the Trustee for such purposes, when the Servicer or the
Sub-Servicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment,
to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or
any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the related Mortgaged
Properties; provided,
67
however, that subject to the provisions of this paragraph, the Servicer may
allow a modification with respect to a Mortgage Loan if the Servicer would take
such action in the ordinary course of its business if it were the owner of the
Mortgage Loan. The Servicer will indemnify the Trustee for any misuse of such
power of attorney provided hereunder. The Servicer may agree to a modification
of any Mortgage Loan (the "Relevant Mortgage Loan") upon the request of the
related Mortgagor, provided that (i) the modification is in lieu of a
refinancing and the Mortgage Rate on the Relevant Mortgage Loan, as modified, is
approximately a prevailing market rate of newly-originated mortgage loans having
similar terms, (ii) the aggregate of the adjusted bases of all Modified Mortgage
Loans (including the Relevant Mortgage Loans) plus the aggregate adjusted bases
of any assets that are not qualified mortgages or permitted investments under
Section 860G(a) of the Code that are assets of the Trust Fund established
hereunder at all times on any day is less than one percent of the aggregate of
the adjusted bases of all assets of the Trust Fund (including such Modified
Mortgage Loans) on such day, and (iii) the Servicer purchases the Relevant
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund as described below. Effective immediately
after such modification, and, in any event, on the same Business Day on which
the modification occurs, all right, title and interest of the Trustee in and to
the Modified Mortgage Loan shall automatically be deemed transferred and
assigned to the Servicer and all benefits and burdens of ownership thereof,
including without limitation the right to accrued interest thereon from and
including the date of modification and the risk of default thereon, shall pass
to the Servicer. To confirm such transfer and assignment, the Servicer, as
servicer hereunder, as soon as practicable shall execute an instrument of
assignment of the Modified Mortgage Loan without recourse in customary form to
the Servicer in its individual capacity. The Servicer shall deposit the Purchase
Price for any Modified Mortgage Loan in the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 5.08. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of any such
deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall release to the Servicer
the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary
more fully to vest in the Servicer any Modified Mortgage Loan previously
transferred and assigned pursuant thereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Servicer shall not make or permit any modification of a
Mortgage Loan that would cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC for
federal income tax purposes or that would result in the imposition of any
material tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code.
The Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee for execution and redelivery to
the Servicer or, at the request of the Servicer, a Sub-Servicer, such documents
necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and administer the
Mortgage Loans and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the Servicer's
application thereof. The Servicer agrees to remain eligible as either a FNMA or
FHLMC seller/servicer, or both, for so long as it is Servicer.
All Servicing Advances made by the Servicer in effecting the timely payment
of taxes, insurance and assessments on the properties subject to the Mortgage
Loans shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage
Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit, and such
Servicing Advances shall be recoverable by the Servicer to the extent permitted
by Sections 5.09 and 5.23.
Section 5.02 Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Servicer and Sub-Servicers;
Enforcement of Sub-Servicer's Obligations.
(a) The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with Sub-Servicers
for the servicing and administration of all or part of the Mortgage Loans.
References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer in
servicing the Mortgage Loans serviced by it include actions taken or to be taken
by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement will
be upon such terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement
and as the Servicer and the Sub-Servicer have agreed. The Servicer hereby agrees
to notify the Trustee in writing promptly
68
upon the appointment of any Sub-Servicer. For purposes of this Agreement, the
receipt by the Sub-Servicer of any amount with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other
than amounts representing servicing compensation or reimbursement for an
advance) shall be treated as the receipt by the Servicer of such amount. The
Sub-Servicer shall deposit all such funds in an Eligible Account.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the
benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations
of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such
enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims,
termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements as appropriate, and the pursuit of other
remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such
time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it
the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of
such enforcement at its own expense but shall be reimbursed therefor only (i)
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 or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys'
fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.
(c) The Servicer shall not permit a Sub-Servicer to perform any servicing
responsibilities hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans unless that
Sub-Servicer first agrees in writing with the Servicer to deliver an Assessment
of Compliance and an Accountant's Attestation in such manner and at such times
that permits the Servicer to comply with Section 5.25 of this Agreement.
Section 5.03 Successor Sub-Servicers. The Servicer shall be entitled to
terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may exist in accordance with the
terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement and without any limitation
by virtue of this Agreement.
Section 5.04 Liability of the Servicer. Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing
Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or
arrangements between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions
taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated
and liable to the Trustee and Certificateholders for the servicing and
administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such
Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from
the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions
as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans.
The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer
for indemnification of the Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
Section 5.05 No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicer and Trustee
or Certificateholders. Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and
any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a
Sub-Servicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to
be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone, and the Trustee and
Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer.
Section 5.06 Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreement. If the Servicer shall
for any reason no longer be the Servicer hereunder (including by reason of any
Event of Default), the Servicer shall thereupon terminate each Sub-Servicing
Agreement that may have been entered into, and the Trustee, its designee or the
successor servicer and the Trustee shall not be deemed to have assumed any of
the Servicer's interest therein or to have replaced the Servicer as a party to
any such Sub-Servicing Agreement.
69
Section 5.07 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. Continuously from the
date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in
full, the Servicer will proceed diligently to collect all payments due under
each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable; provided,
however, that the Servicer may elect, to the extent consistent with Accepted
Servicing Practices, to waive any late payment charge and shall, to the extent
such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, follow such collection
procedures as it follows with respect to conventional mortgage loans held in its
own portfolio. Any such arrangements shall not diminish or otherwise affect the
Servicer's obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section 6.03.
Section 5.08 Establishment of Collection Account; Deposit in Collection
Account. With respect to all of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall segregate
and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan separate
and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and
maintain one or more Collection Accounts for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (collectively, the "Collection Account") which are Eligible
Accounts, in the form of a trust account, in the name of "The Bank of New York
Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee, in trust for and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders of Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Chase Home
Finance LLC as subservicer for JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Servicer, Chase
Mortgage Finance Corporation, Series 2007-S2 - Collection Account." Such
Collection Account shall be established with a commercial bank, a savings bank
or a savings and loan association. The Servicer may invest, or cause the
institution maintaining the Collection Account to invest, moneys in the
Collection Account in Eligible Investments, which shall mature not later than
two Business Days preceding the Distribution Date next following the date of
such investment and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All
income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of
the Servicer as additional compensation and shall be subject to its withdrawal
or order from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any
such investments (to the extent not offset by income from other such
investments) shall be deposited in the Collection Account by the Servicer out of
its own funds immediately as realized; provided, however, that if the Trustee
becomes the Servicer, the Trustee shall not be required to deposit the amount of
any loss incurred prior to it becoming the Servicer.
The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection
Account on a daily basis (and not later than the second Business Day following
receipt), and retain therein:
(i) All payments which were received after the Cut-off Date on account
of principal of the Mortgage Loans (other than the principal portion of
Monthly Payments due on or before the Cut-off Date), and all Principal
Prepayments collected on or after the Cut-off Date;
(ii) All payments which were received after the Cut-off Date on
account of interest on the Mortgage Loans (net of the Servicing Fee)(other
than the interest portion of Monthly Payments due on or before the Cut-off
Date);
(iii) Any Subsequent Recovery or Net Liquidation Proceeds;
(iv) All Insurance Proceeds received by the Servicer under any title,
hazard or other insurance policy, including amounts required to be
deposited pursuant to Sections 5.16 and 5.20, other than proceeds to be
held in the Escrow Account or applied to the restoration or repair of the
Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a
Co-op Loan) or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's
normal servicing procedures or otherwise applied or held as required by
applicable law;
70
(v) All awards or settlements in respect of condemnation proceedings
affecting any Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the
case of a Co-op Loan), which are not released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures;
(vi) All Repurchase Proceeds;
(vii) All Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.03;
(viii) All amounts representing revenues under the insurance provided
pursuant to Section 5.19 to the extent of any losses borne by any
Certificateholder;
(ix) All revenues from any Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged
Property in the case of a Co-op Loan) acquired by the Servicer by
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure net of any Servicing Advances
with respect to such Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property
in the case of a Co-op Loan); and
(x) Any other amounts required to be deposited therein pursuant to
this Agreement.
The Servicer shall maintain accounting records on a Mortgage Loan by
Mortgage Loan basis with respect to the Collection Account. The Servicer shall
give notice to the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Depositor and each Rating
Agency of any change in the location of the Collection Account, prior to the use
thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Monthly Payment or
any portion thereof shall be permitted to remain in the Collection Account for
more than 12 months. Any Monthly Payment or any portion thereof that has
remained in the Collection Account for 12 months shall be deemed a Principal
Prepayment and distributed to Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement on the Distribution Date immediately following the end of such 12
month period.
Section 5.09 Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection Account. The
Servicer may, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Collection Account for
the following purposes:
(a) to reimburse itself for Advances made pursuant to Section 6.03
(including amounts to reimburse the related Sub-Servicer for advances made
pursuant to the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement), the Servicer's and the
related Sub-Servicer's right to receive reimbursement pursuant to this subclause
(i) being limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage Loans which
represent Late Collections (net of the Servicing Fees) with respect to those
particular Mortgage Loans;
(b) to pay itself the Servicing Fee;
(c) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, or to pay the
related Sub-Servicer any unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the Servicer's right
to receive reimbursement or make payments to the Sub-Servicer pursuant to this
subclause (c) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related
Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and condemnation
awards;
(d) to reimburse itself (or the related Sub-Servicer) or the Depositor for
expenses incurred by and recoverable by or reimbursable to it pursuant to
Section 5.01 or 5.16;
(e) to reimburse itself (or the related Sub-Servicer) for any
Nonrecoverable Advances;
(f) to pay to itself (or the related Sub-Servicer) income earned on the
investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account;
71
(g) to make deposits into the Certificate Account in the amounts and in the
manner provided for herein;
(h) to make payments to itself or others pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement, and to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the
termination of this Agreement; and
(i) to withdraw amounts deposited in error.
Section 5.10 Establishment of Escrow Account; Deposits in Escrow Account.
With respect to those Mortgage Loans on which the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer
collects Escrow Payments, if any, the Servicer shall, and shall cause any
Sub-Servicer to, segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to
each such Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from
any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or
more Escrow Accounts, in the form of trust accounts. Such Escrow Accounts shall
be established with a commercial bank, a mutual savings bank or a savings and
loan association the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC in a manner which
shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder, and which may be drawn on
by the Servicer. The Servicer shall, if requested by the Trustee, give notice to
the Trustee of the location of any Escrow Account. Nothing in this paragraph
shall be deemed to require the Servicer to collect Escrow Payments in the
absence of a provision in the related Mortgage requiring such collection.
The Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in any Escrow Account
or Accounts on a daily basis, and retain therein, (i) all Escrow Payments
collected on account of any Mortgage Loans serviced by the Servicer, for the
purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the
terms of this Agreement and (ii) all amounts representing proceeds of any hazard
insurance policy which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any
Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op
Loan). The Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such
payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as
are set forth in Section 5.11. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any
interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository
institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to
the related Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Servicer shall pay
interest on escrowed funds to the related Mortgagor notwithstanding that the
Escrow Account is non-interest-bearing or that interest paid thereon is
insufficient for such purposes.
Section 5.11 Permitted Withdrawals from Escrow Account. Withdrawals from
any Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by a Servicer only (i) to effect
timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, Standard
Hazard Policy premiums, or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the
related Mortgage, (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance made
by the Servicer, with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts
received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or
collections of Escrow Payments thereunder, (iii) to refund to any Mortgagor any
funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the
related Mortgage Loan or under applicable law, (iv) for application to
restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage, (v) to
pay to the Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any
interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, (vi) to clear and
terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement or (vii) to
withdraw amounts deposited in error.
Section 5.12 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges. With respect to
each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain, or cause to be maintained,
accurate records reflecting any delinquencies or nonpayments with regard to
taxes, assessments and Standard Hazard Policy premiums. The Servicer assumes
full responsibility for ensuring the payment of all such bills and shall effect
payments of all such bills irrespective of each Mortgagor's faithful performance
in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make
advances from its own funds to effect such payments.
72
Section 5.13 Transfer of Accounts. The Servicer may transfer the Collection
Account or Escrow Account to an Eligible Account maintained with a different
depository institution from time to time and shall notify the Trustee and the
Paying Agent of any such transfer.
Section 5.14 [Reserved].
Section 5.15 Maintenance of the Primary Insurance Policies. The Servicer
shall not take, or permit any related Sub-Servicer to take, any action which
would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of
any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer or Sub-Servicer, would have
been covered thereunder. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, to the
extent coverage is available and until the Loan-to-Value Ratio of the related
Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%, the Servicer shall keep or cause to be kept in
full force and effect each such Primary Insurance Policy in an amount equal to
the amount by which the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan
exceeds 75% of the value (as described in the definition of Loan-to-Value Ratio)
of the related Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case
of a Co-op Loan). The Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such
Primary Insurance Policy or consent to any related Sub-Servicer canceling or
refusing to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy applicable to a Mortgage
Loan subserviced by it, that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of
the Certificates and is required to be kept in force hereunder unless the
replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is
maintained with an insurer whose claims-paying ability is rated at least as high
as the original insurer or is acceptable to each Rating Agency as confirmed in
writing by each such Rating Agency, unless otherwise required by law.
Section 5.16 Maintenance of Standard Hazard Policies.
(a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan (other
than a Co-op Loan) a Standard Hazard Policy with extended coverage as is prudent
in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal
to the greater of (i) the lesser of (A) 100% of the maximum insurable value of
the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (B) the principal balance owing
on such Mortgage Loan, or (ii) such amount required to prevent the Mortgagor or
mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area
identified at the time of origination in the Federal Register by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood
insurance has been made available) the Servicer will cause to be maintained a
flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the
Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier,
in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the
outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the full insurable
value or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Servicer shall also
maintain on property acquired upon foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan, fire and hazard insurance with extended
coverage in an amount which is not less than the lesser of (i) the outstanding
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan or (ii) the maximum insurable value of
the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance, and, to
the extent available, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any
amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to
be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related
Mortgage or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or released
to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures)
shall be deposited, subject to applicable law, in the Collection Account. It is
understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance need be
required by the Servicer of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in
respect of a Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and
regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance. All such Standard Hazard Policies and other policies shall
be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer or
its designee. Any such Standard Hazard Policies or other policies may be in the
form of
73
blanket policies; provided, however, that in the event of any claim arising in
connection with a hazard loss the Servicer shall be obligated, in the case of
blanket insurance policies, to deposit in the Collection Account any amount not
payable under such blanket policy because of a deductible clause in such policy
and not otherwise payable under an individual policy. The Servicer shall not
interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his
insurance carrier or agent; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not
accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such
companies are acceptable insurers in the discretion of the Servicer.
(b) Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any of the foregoing
insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs (other
than the costs of maintaining a blanket hazard insurance policy not attributable
to a specific Mortgaged Property) shall be recoverable by the Servicer from the
Mortgagor or out of Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries or Liquidation
Proceeds or to the extent permitted by Section 5.09.
Section 5.17 [Reserved].
Section 5.18 [Reserved].
Section 5.19 Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance. The Servicer
shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and
omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on
all officers, employees or other persons acting on behalf of the Servicer in any
capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to handle funds, money, documents and
papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. Any such fidelity bond and errors and
omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses,
including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and
negligent acts of such persons and shall be maintained at a level acceptable to
FNMA. No provision of this Section 5.19 requiring such fidelity bond and errors
and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties
and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. Upon request of the Trustee, the
Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee a certification evidencing
coverage under such fidelity bond and insurance policy. Promptly upon receipt of
any notice from the surety or the insurer that such fidelity bond or insurance
policy has been terminated or modified in a materially adverse manner, the
Servicer shall notify the Trustee and each Rating Agency of any such termination
or modification.
Section 5.20 Collections under Insurance Policies; Enforcement of
Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
(a) In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the
Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee
and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Standard Hazard
Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be
necessary to permit recovery under any insurance policies. Pursuant to Section
5.08, the Servicer shall deposit Insurance Proceeds in the Collection Account.
(b) When any Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in
the case of a Co-op Loan) is conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall
enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to
the extent permitted by such Mortgage Note or Mortgage, applicable law and
governmental regulations. Subject to the foregoing, the Servicer is authorized
to take or enter into an assumption or substitution agreement from or with the
Person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed. In connection
with such assumption or substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting
standards and follow such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual
and as it applies to mortgage loans owned solely by it.
74
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this
Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any
other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any conveyance by the
Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in
the case of a Co-op Loan) or any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of
law which the Servicer in good faith determines it may be restricted by law from
preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
(c) Subject to the Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the
effect set forth in Section 5.20(b), in any case in which a Mortgaged Property
(or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) is to be
conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into an
assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage, the Servicer shall so notify the Trustee by forwarding to the
Trustee the original copy of such assumption or substitution agreement, which
copy shall be added by the Trustee to the related Mortgage File and shall, for
all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as
all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. In connection
with any such assumption, modification agreement or substitution agreement, the
interest rate of the related Mortgage Note shall not be changed, the principal
amount of the Mortgage Note shall not be increased or decreased and the maturity
of the Mortgage Note shall not be extended, nor shall it be shortened by more
than one year. Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption
or substitution of liability agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall
be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
Section 5.21 Income and Realization from Defaulted Mortgage Loans. The
Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably
convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties (or stock allocated to a dwelling
unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come
into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be
made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 5.07, shall
manage, conserve, protect and operate such Mortgaged Properties (or stock
allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) for the purposes of
their prompt disposition and sale, and shall dispose of such Mortgaged
Properties (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan)
on such terms and conditions as it deems in the best interests of the
Certificateholders. The Servicer shall sell such property prior to the close of
the third calendar year beginning after the year in which such foreclosure or
conversion occurs or such longer period as would not prevent such Mortgaged
Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan)
from constituting "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(8) of the Code. The Servicer will ensure that no Mortgaged Property
shall be held, rented or otherwise used in such a manner or pursuant to any
terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
(ii) subject any REMIC Pool to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the
income earned on such Mortgaged Property, including any taxes imposed by reason
of Section 860F or 860G(c) of the Code. In connection with such activities, the
Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary
or advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing
activities, including its management of foreclosed properties for a temporary
period as contemplated herein. The foregoing is subject to the provisions of
Section 5.28 of this Agreement and to the proviso that the Servicer shall not be
required to expend its own funds in connection with any management, foreclosure
or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine that such
management, restoration or foreclosure will increase any Subsequent Recoveries
or Liquidation Proceeds of the Mortgage Loan to Certificateholders after
reimbursement to itself for such expenses (respecting which it shall have
priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 5.09). The Servicer shall be permitted to earn income with respect to
any Mortgaged Properties (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of
a Co-op Loan), provided such income does not constitute "net income from
foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(c) of the Code. The
income earned from the management of such Mortgaged Properties (or stock
allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan), net of reimbursement
to the Servicer for expenses (including any taxes) incurred in connection with
such
75
management, shall be applied to the payment of principal of and interest on the
related defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing and principal
amortizing as though such Mortgage Loans were still current) and all such income
shall be deemed, for all purposes in this Agreement, to be payments on account
of principal and interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited
into the Collection Account. To the extent the income received is in excess of
the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest at the Net
Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan, such excess shall be deposited in
the Collection Account.
The Servicer shall take into account the existence of any hazardous
substances, hazardous wastes or solid wastes, as such terms are defined in the
Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, as amended,
the Resources Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended, or other
federal, state or local environmental legislation, on a Mortgaged Property (or
Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) in determining
whether to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of such
property. To the extent that the Servicer has actual knowledge of any such
substance or waste, it shall consult with the Trustee regarding the appropriate
course of action. The Servicer shall not institute foreclosure actions with
respect to a property containing substance or waste as described above if it
reasonably believes that such action would not be consistent with its servicing
standards, and in no event shall the Servicer manage, operate or take any other
action with respect thereto which the Servicer in good faith believes will
result in "clean-up" or other liability under applicable law. The net income
from the rental or sale of a REO Property shall be deposited in the Collection
Account within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof by the Servicer.
The Servicer may enter into a special servicing agreement with an
unaffiliated holder of 100% Percentage Interest of the Class of Class B
Certificates then outstanding having the highest numerical class designation or
a holder of a class of securities representing interests in such Class B
Certificate and/or other subordinate mortgage pass-through certificates, such
agreement to be (i) substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto or (ii)
subject to each Rating Agency's acknowledgment that the ratings of the
Certificates in effect immediately prior to the entering into of such agreement
would not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn and the Certificates would not
be placed on credit review status (except for possible upgrading) as a result of
such agreement. Any such agreement may contain provisions whereby such holder
may instruct the Servicer to commence or delay foreclosure proceedings with
respect to delinquent Mortgage Loans and will contain provisions for the deposit
of cash by the holder that would be available for distribution to
Certificateholders if Liquidation Proceeds are less than they otherwise may have
been had the Servicer acted in accordance with its normal procedures.
Section 5.22 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or
upon the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be
made in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall immediately
notify the Custodian with a copy to the Trustee by a certification (which
certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received
or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be
deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.08 have been or will
be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the
Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, within five
Business Days the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall release the related
Mortgage File to the Servicer and the Trustee will execute and deliver to the
Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or
satisfaction of mortgage or such other instruments releasing the lien of the
Mortgage as have been provided by the Servicer to the Trustee, together with the
Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation thereon, and the Trustee
shall have no further responsibility with respect to said Mortgage File. Upon
any such payment in full, or the receipt of such notification, the Servicer is
authorized to procure from the Trustee under the deed of trust which secured the
Mortgage Note, if any, a deed of full
76
reconveyance covering the property encumbered by such deed of trust, which
assignment of deed of trust, except as otherwise provided by any applicable law,
shall be recorded by the Servicer in the appropriate land records in the
jurisdiction in which the assignment of deed of trust is recorded, or, as the
case may be, to procure from the Trustee an instrument of satisfaction or, if
the Mortgagor so requests, an assignment without recourse, which deed of
reconveyance, instrument of satisfaction or assignment shall be delivered by the
Servicer to the Person or Persons entitled thereto. No expenses incurred in
connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be
chargeable to the Collection Account or to the Trustee.
(b) From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of
any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian a certificate of
a Servicing Officer requesting that possession of the Mortgage File be released
to the Servicer and certifying as to the reason for such release and that such
release will not invalidate any insurance coverage provided in respect of the
Mortgage Loan under any of the insurance policies required by this Agreement.
With such certificate, the Servicer shall require that the Custodian on behalf
of the Trustee release the Mortgage File, and, within five Business Days, the
Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File or any document therein to the
Servicer. The Servicer shall cause each Mortgage File so released to be returned
to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer
no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Net
Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the
Collection Account or (ii) the Mortgage File has been delivered to an attorney,
or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes
of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure
of the Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of
a Co-op Loan) either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has
delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing
Officer in the form of Exhibit L hereto certifying as to the name and address of
the Person to which such Mortgage File was delivered and the purpose or purposes
of such delivery.
(c) Upon written request of the Servicer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or
other documents prepared by and delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee
necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged
Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) or
to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any
other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise
available at law or in equity. Together with such documents or pleadings, the
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer
requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and
certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that
the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate any
insurance coverage under the insurance policies required under this Agreement or
invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the
termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.
The Trustee may rely on such certificate without further inquiry.
(d) The Servicer may provide an electronic transmission for release of
documents under this Section 5.22 in a form agreed to in advance of initial
transmission by both the Servicer and the Custodian, which form shall contain
information readable without intervention by Custodian's data processing
operations computer hardware and software staff, and arranged in a record layout
to be specified by Custodian (a "Paperless Release Request"). The Servicer
agrees to maintain and control access to electronic signature information and
assumes liability for any unauthorized use thereof, except for any unauthorized
use thereof by the Custodian and, provided that, the Servicer shall have no
liability arising from the form of transmission if the Servicer complies with
the Custodian's standards set forth in the next paragraph of this Section
5.22(d). The Servicer also agrees to maintain accurate records of electronic
transactions related to the custodial files. The Servicer hereby authorizes the
Custodian to automatically
77
append the electronic signature of an authorized representative to the
applicable request for release of documents and agrees and acknowledges that by
appending such authorized representative's electronic signature, the Custodian
shall be entitled to rely thereon. For purposes of this Agreement the term
"electronic signature" means an electronic identifier intended by the person
using it to have the same force and effect as the use of a manual signature.
The Servicer agrees in advance to comply with all Custodian data
encryption, security and record layout standards in connection with any
Paperless Release Request as may be amended from time to time upon notice from
Custodian to the Servicer. The Custodian reserves the right to restrict or
suspend the Servicer's access to the Custodian's computer systems for
maintenance or repairs or for any other reason in the Custodian's sole
discretion, provided however that the Custodian shall promptly provide the
Servicer with notice of such restriction or suspension. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Servicer is authorized to transmit and the Custodian is
authorized to accept signed facsimile copies of the requests for document
release described in this Section 5.22.
Section 5.23 Servicing and Other Compensation. The Servicer, as
compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be entitled to receive, on or
prior to each Distribution Date, the amounts provided for as the Servicing Fee
and as reimbursement for Nonrecoverable Advances, Servicing Advances and
reimbursement for Advances, all as specified by Section 5.09. The amount of
compensation or reimbursement provided for shall be accounted for on a Mortgage
Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees,
prepayment fees and late payment charges shall be retained by the Servicer, to
the extent permitted by applicable law. The Servicer shall be required to pay
all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities
hereunder (including the fees, expenses and indemnities of the Trustee and any
Sub-Servicer) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as
specifically provided in Sections 5.09 and 5.21.
Section 5.24 1934 Act Reports.
(a) As set forth on Schedule X hereto, for so long as the Trust is subject
to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no later than the end of business on
the 2nd Business Day after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure on
Form 8-K (a "reportable event") (i) the Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee and
the Paying Agent shall notify the Servicer of any item reportable on a Form 8-K
of which each such party has knowledge (unless such item is specific to the
Servicer, in which case the Servicer will be deemed to have notice) and (ii)
shall deliver to the Servicer at least two Business Days prior to the filing
deadline for such Form 8-K, all information, data, and exhibits (unless such

Section 5.28 REMIC-Related Covenants. For as long as the Trust Fund shall
exist, the Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Trustee shall act in accordance
herewith to assure continuing treatment of each REMIC created hereunder as a
REMIC. In particular:
(a) The Servicer shall not create, or permit the creation of, any
"interests" in any REMIC created hereunder within the meaning of Section 860G(a)
of the Code other than the "regular interests" in
82
each such REMIC designated as such in Section 2.04(a) and the "residual
interest" in each such REMIC designated as such in Section 2.04(a);
(b) As of all times as may be required by the Code, the Servicer will
ensure that substantially all of the assets of each REMIC created hereunder will
consist of "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code
and "permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code. The
Paying Agent will maintain records that are sufficient to indicate the
compliance of each REMIC created hereunder with applicable requirements of the
Code (and applicable Proposed, Temporary or final Treasury Regulations) relating
to the assets held by such REMIC. Further, the Servicer shall not permit and the
Trustee shall not accept the transfer or substitution of any Mortgage Loan other
than pursuant to Section 3.03, 5.01 or 5.21 of this Agreement, and the Servicer
shall, in any case, not permit substitution unless the Servicer and the Trustee
have received an Opinion of Counsel, which will not be an expense of any REMIC
created hereunder, that such transfer or substitution would not adversely affect
the REMIC status of any REMIC created hereunder or would not otherwise be
prohibited by this Agreement;
(c) The Servicer shall ensure that no REMIC created hereunder receives a
fee or other compensation for services and that no REMIC created hereunder
receives any income from assets other than "qualified mortgages" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code, and shall take whatever action it
deems necessary to avoid any material tax imposed by the Code on any REMIC
created hereunder;
(d) None of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Paying Agent or the Trustee
shall sell or permit the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of
any Eligible Investment unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the
Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has received an Opinion
of Counsel, which will not be an expense of any REMIC created hereunder or the
Trustee, to the effect that such sale (i) is pursuant to a "qualified
liquidation" as defined in Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code and as described in
Section 11.01 hereof, or (ii) would not be treated as a "prohibited transaction"
within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code that results in the
realization of a material amount of gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes;
(e) The Trustee shall not accept any contribution to any REMIC created
hereunder after the Startup Day without an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not
be an expense of the Trustee) that such contribution is included within the
exceptions provided in Section 860G(d)(2) of the Code and, therefore, will not
be subject to the tax imposed by Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code; and
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Servicer and the Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall take any other
action or refuse to take any action otherwise required (including adjusting the
Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan) where the Servicer deems such action or
inaction reasonably necessary to ensure the REMIC status of each REMIC created
hereunder under the Code and applicable regulations or to avoid the imposition
of any material tax liability on any REMIC created hereunder that will affect
amounts distributable to the Certificateholders.
(g) In the event that any applicable federal, state or local tax, including
interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is
imposed on any REMIC created hereunder, such tax shall be treated in the same
manner as a Realized Loss and shall be charged against amounts otherwise
distributable to the Holders of the Certificates, except as provided in the last
sentence of this Section 5.28 (g). The Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been
appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent shall withdraw from the
Collection Account sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to
actually pay, such tax as is estimated to be legally owed by (but such
authorization shall not prevent the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been
appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent from contesting, at
83
the expense of the Trust Fund (other than as a consequence of a breach of its
obligations under this Agreement), any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and
withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of
such proceedings). The Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under
Section 4.05, the Paying Agent is hereby authorized to and shall segregate, into
a separate non-interest bearing account, the net income from any "prohibited
transaction" under Code Section 860F(a), the amount of any taxable contribution
to any REMIC created hereunder after the Startup Day that is subject to tax
under Code Section 860G(d), and 35% of any estimated "net income from
foreclosure property" under Section 860G(c) and use such income or amount, to
the extent necessary, to pay such tax. To the extent that any such tax is paid
to the Internal Revenue Service or applicable state or local tax authorities,
the Trustee or a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying
Agent shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable
to the Holder of the Class A-R Certificate and shall distribute such retained
amounts to the Holders of the other Classes of Certificates, to the extent they
remain outstanding, until they are fully reimbursed for any amount of such taxes
previously charged to the then Holder of the Class A-R Certificate. Neither the
Trustee nor the Servicer shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on any REMIC
created hereunder except to the extent such taxes arise as a consequence of a
breach of their respective obligations under this Agreement. The Trustee shall
not be liable hereunder for any taxes imposed on any REMIC hereunder as the
result of any direction taken hereunder from the Servicer or any action of the
Servicer or Paying Agent hereunder.
Section 5.29 Reserve Fund; Yield Maintenance Agreement.
(a) On the Closing Date, the Paying Agent shall establish an account (the
"Reserve Fund"), which shall be an Eligible Account. The Reserve Fund shall be
entitled "Reserve Fund, The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee for
the benefit of the Holders of the Chase Mortage Finance Trust 2007-S2 LIBOR
Certificates." On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent is hereby directed
to, and shall therefore, deposit into the Reserve Fund all amounts received
under the Yield Maintenance Agreement. For federal and state income tax
purposes, the LIBOR Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the
related portion of the Reserve Fund and all amounts deposited into the Reserve
Fund and shall be taxable on any income earned thereon. The Reserve Fund shall
not be an asset of any REMIC. Amounts held in the Reserve Fund shall remain
uninvested. The Reserve Fund will be part of the Trust Fund but not part of any
REMIC and any payments to the LIBOR Certificates of Basis Risk Shortfall
Carryover Amounts with respect to the LIBOR Certificates will not be payments
with respect to a "regular interest" in a REMIC within the meaning of Code
Section 860G(a)(1).
(b) The Depositor hereby directs the Paying Agent, to execute and deliver
on behalf of the Trust the Yield Maintenance Agreement and authorizes the Paying
Agent to perform its obligations thereunder on behalf of the Trust in accordance
with the terms of the Yield Maintenance Agreement. The Yield Maintenance
Agreement will provide for the payment of Basis Risk Shortfall Carryover Amounts
for one Class of LIBOR Certificates to the extent provided in this Section
5.29(b). On or before the Closing Date, the Paying Agent shall enter into the
Yield Maintenance Agreement on behalf of the Trust, with the Counterparty. The
Yield Maintenance Agreement shall be part of the Trust Fund but not part of any
REMIC.
On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute amounts
received under the Class 1-A1 Yield Maintenance Agreement on deposit in the
Reserve Fund to the Class 1-A1 Certificates, up to the Basis Risk Shortfall
Carryover Amount for the Class 1-A1 Certificates.
(c) [Reserved.]
(d) The Seller, the Depositor and the Certificateholders by acceptance of
their Certificates acknowledge and agree that the Paying Agent shall execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under the
84
Yield Maintenance Agreement and shall do so solely in its capacity as Paying
Agent of the Trust Fund and not in its individual capacity. The Paying Agent is
hereby directed to represent and warrant to the Counterparty under the Yield
Maintenance Agreement that the beneficial owner for United States federal income
tax purposes of payments made under the Yield Maintenance Agreement is a "U.S.
person" (as that term is used in section 1.1441-4(a)(3)(ii) of United States
Treasury Regulations (the "Regulations")) for United States federal income tax
purposes. Every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of,
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Paying Agent shall
apply to the Paying Agent's execution of the Yield Maintenance Agreement and the
performance of its duties and satisfaction of its obligations thereunder.
(e) On the 20th calendar day of each month, the Paying Agent shall
calculate the Class 1-A1 Maximum Yield Maintenance Agreement Amount and notify
the Counterparty of such amount. On each Distribution Date, the "Class 1-A1
Maximum Yield Maintenance Agreement Amount" shall be an amount equal to the
lesser of:
(i) the product of:
(A) the excess, if any, of LIBOR (as calculated under the Class
1-A1 Yield Maintenance Agreement subject to the Rate Cap Ceiling) over
the related Cap Strike Rate for that Distribution Date;
(B) the related Class 1-A1 Scheduled Notional Amount for that
Distribution Date; and
(C) a fraction, the numerator of which is 30 and the denominator
of which is 360;
and
(ii) the related Basis Risk Shortfall Carryover Amount related to the
Class 1-A1 Certificates.
(f) If on any Distribution Date the Paying Agent has received any excess
amounts from the Yield Maintenance Agreement, such excess amounts shall be
returned to the Counterparty via the wiring instructions set forth in the
applicable Yield Maintenance Agreement.

Amount in application first to amounts payable pursuant to Section
(I)(b)(i) and second to amounts payable pursuant to Section (I)(b)(ii);
(iv) to the extent that the Available Distribution Amount with respect

otherwise distributable to them pursuant to paragraphs (I)(b)(i)(A) through
(J) and (O) above. If the Available Distribution Amount with respect to

(vii) In addition to the foregoing distributions, the Class 1-A
Certificates and Class 2-A Certificates will receive additional principal
distributions on any Distribution Date prior to the Credit Support
Depletion Date under the circumstances specified in (A) and (B) below:
88
(A) On any Distribution Date on or after the date on which the
aggregate Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 1-A
Certificates or the aggregate Outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class 2-A Certificates has been reduced to zero, all
principal (other than the applicable PO Percentage of any principal
received on or in respect of each Discount Mortgage Loan and limited
to amounts in excess of that needed to reduce the aggregate
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 1-A
Certificates or the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the
Class 2-A Certificates, as applicable, to zero) on the Mortgage Loans
in the Mortgage Group relating to such Class A Certificates that are
no longer outstanding will be distributed as principal to the
remaining Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-P Certificates)
in accordance with Section 6.01(I)(b)(ii)(A) or 6.01(I)(b)(ii)(B), as
applicable, in reduction of the Outstanding Certificate Principal
Balances thereof, provided that on such Distribution Date either (a)
the Aggregate Subordinated Percentage for such Distribution Date is
less than 200% of the initial Aggregate Subordinate Percentage, or (b)
the average outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in
either Mortgage Group delinquent 60 days or more over the prior six
months, as a percentage of the corresponding Group One or Group Two
Subordinated Amount, is greater than or equal to 50%. For purposes of
the foregoing, the "Aggregate Subordinated Percentage" for any
Distribution Date is equal to the aggregate Outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance of the Subordinated Certificates immediately prior
to such Distribution Date divided by the aggregate Scheduled Principal
Balance of all of the Mortgage Loans immediately prior to such
Distribution Date.
(B) If on any Distribution Date on which the aggregate
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 1-A
Certificates or the Class 2-A Certificates would be greater than the
the Group One Non-PO Allocated Amount or the Group Two Non-PO
Allocated Amount, as the case may be (the "Undercollateralized
Group"), after giving effect to distributions to be made on such
Distribution Date, the portion of the Available Distribution Amount in
respect of principal on the Mortgage Loans in the other Mortgage Group
(the "Overcollateralized Group") otherwise allocable to the
Subordinated Certificates will be distributed to the Classes of Class
A Certificates (other than the Class A-P Certificates) relating to the
Undercollateralized Group (in accordance with the priorities set forth
in Section 6.01(I)(b)(ii)), in reduction of the principal balances
thereof, until the aggregate principal balance of the Certificates
(other than the Class A-P Certificates) included in the
Undercollateralized Group is equal to the Group One Non-PO Allocated
Amount or the Group Two Non-PO Allocated Amount, as the case may be.
Moreover, the Available Distribution Amount with respect to the
Overcollateralized Group will be further reduced (after distributions
of interest to the Class A Certificates included in the
Overcollateralized Group) in an amount equal to one month's interest
on the amount by which the Undercollateralized Group is
undercollateralized at 6.00% per annum (if Mortgage Group One is the
Undercollateralized Group) or 5.50% per annum (if Mortgage Group Two
is the Undercollateralized Group), plus any shortfall of such amounts
from prior Distribution Dates; provided, however, that in no event
shall the Available Distribution Amount with respect to the
Overcollateralized Group on any Distribution Date be reduced by more
than the sum of (i) the overcollateralized amount with respect to the
Overcollateralized Group and (ii) interest thereon at the applicable
Remittance Rate. Such amounts will be distributed to the applicable
Classes of Certificates in the priority of interest payable on such
Distribution Date.
89
(c) Amounts payable on any Distribution Date to the Class M
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 6.01(I)(a)(iii) shall be distributed in

Certificate Principal Balance of such Class.
(d) Amounts payable on any Distribution Date to the Class B
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 6.01(I)(a)(iv) shall be distributed in

(E) any portion of the Subordinated Optimal Principal Amount allocated to the
Class B-2 Certificates in excess of the Outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of such Class;
(4) fourth, to the Class B-4 Certificateholders, up to an amount equal
to (A) the Class B-4 Interest Accrual Amount plus (B) the Class B-4 Shortfall
from the preceding Distribution Date plus (C) the pro rata portion, if any, of
the Subordinated Optimal Principal Amount allocable to the Class B-4
Certificates in accordance with Section 6.01(I)(e) plus (D) any Carry-over
Subordinated Principal Amounts with respect to the Class B-4 Certificates plus
(E) any portion of the Subordinated Optimal Principal Amount allocated to the

90
(5) fifth, to the Class B-5 Certificateholders, up to an amount equal
to (A) the Class B-5 Interest Accrual Amount plus (B) the Class B-5 Shortfall

(E) any portion of the Subordinated Optimal Principal Amount allocated to the
Class B-4 Certificates in excess of the Outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of such Class.
(e) On each Distribution Date, the Subordinated Optimal Principal Amount
shall be allocated among the Classes of Subordinated Certificates entitled,
pursuant to the next succeeding sentence, to an allocation of principal on such
Distribution Date, pro rata based upon the Outstanding Certificate Principal
Balances of all such Classes so entitled. With respect to the Subordinated
Certificates, on each Distribution Date, principal shall be distributable to (1)
any Class of Subordinated Certificates which has current Credit Support (before
giving effect to any distribution of principal and any Realized Losses allocable
on such Distribution Date) greater than or equal to the Original Credit Support
for such Class; (2) the Class having the lowest numerical class designation of
any outstanding Class of Subordinated Certificates which does not meet the
criteria in (1) above; and (3) the Class B-5 Certificates if all other
outstanding Classes of Subordinated Certificates meet the criteria in (1) above
or if no other Class of Subordinated Certificates is outstanding; provided,
however, that no Class of Subordinated Certificates shall receive any
distributions of principal if any Class of Subordinated Certificates having a
lower numerical class designation than such Class fails to meet the criteria in
(1) above. For purposes of this Agreement, the Class M Certificates shall be
deemed to have a lower numerical class designation than each Class of Class B
Certificates and the Class A-M Certificates shall be deemed to have a lower
numerical class designation than the Class M-1 Certificates.
(II) On or after the Credit Support Depletion Date, the Available Distribution
Amount shall be applied, first, in respect of interest in accordance with

Class A Certificates, pro rata, based upon their respective outstanding
balances.
(III) Based upon the information received from the Servicer, as provided in
Section 6.02, the Paying Agent shall make all calculations necessary to make the
distributions described in this Section 6.01. All distributions made to
Certificateholders of any Class on each Distribution Date will be made to the
Certificateholders of the respective Class of record on the next preceding

Certificateholders shall be based on the Percentage Interest of the Class
represented by their respective Certificates, and shall be made either by
transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank
or other financial or depository institution having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Holder has so notified the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has
been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, in writing at least 10
Business Days prior to the first Distribution Date for which distribution by
wire transfer is to be made and such Holder's Certificates of such Class in the

mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears on the
Certificate Register, except that the final distribution in retirement of the
Certificates will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office specified in the final Distribution Notice. If on any
Determination Date, the Servicer determines that there are no Mortgage Loans
outstanding and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds
in the Certificate Account, the Trustee or if a Paying Agent has been appointed
under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent shall promptly send the final distribution
notice to each Certificateholder specifying the manner in which the final
distribution will be made.

the information derived from the Servicer which shall be provided as required in
this Section 6.02(a).
93
Upon reasonable advance notice in writing if required by federal
regulation, the Servicer will provide to each Certificateholder which is a
savings and loan association, bank or insurance company certain reports and
access during business hours to information and documentation regarding the
Mortgage Loans sufficient to permit such Certificateholder to comply with

(b) The Servicer shall cause to be prepared, and the Servicer or the
Trustee, as required by applicable law, shall file, any and all tax returns,
information statements or other filings required to be delivered to
Certificateholders and any governmental taxing authority pursuant to any
applicable law with respect to the Trust Fund and the transactions contemplated
hereby (the Servicer or the Trustee may, at its option but with the consent of
the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, appoint an
organization which regularly engages in the preparation and filing of such
documents on a continuous basis for profit and which represents itself to be
expert in such matters) and the Servicer shall maintain a record of the

Section 6.03 Advances by the Servicer. If, on any Determination Date, the
Servicer determines that any Monthly Payments due on the immediately preceding
Due Date have not been received, the Servicer shall, unless it determines in its
sole discretion that such amounts will not be recoverable from Late Collections,
Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise, make an Advance on or before two Business
Days prior to the related Distribution Date in an amount equal to the amount of
such delinquent Monthly Payments, after adjustment of any delinquent interest
payment for the Servicing Fee. For purposes of this Section 6.03, the delinquent
Monthly Payments referred to in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to
include an amount equal to the Monthly Payments that would have been due on
Mortgage Loans which have been foreclosed or otherwise terminated and in
connection with which the Servicer acquired and continues to own the Mortgaged
Properties on behalf of the Certificateholders. If the Servicer makes an
Advance, it shall on or prior to two Business Days prior to such Distribution
Date either (i) deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to such
Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the
Collection Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution
or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 6.03, used by the Servicer
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 funds being
held in the Collection Account for future distribution to Certificateholders and
so used pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above shall be replaced by the Servicer
from its own funds by deposit into the Collection Account on or before any
subsequent Distribution Date to the extent that funds in the Collection Account
on such Distribution Date shall be less than the amount of payments required to
be made to Certificateholders on such Distribution Date. Any such Advance shall
be included with the distribution to the Certificateholders on the related
Distribution Date. If the Servicer determines not to make a Nonrecoverable
Advance, it shall on the related Determination Date furnish to the Trustee, any
co-trustee, the Paying Agent and each Rating Agency notice of such
determination. The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the
Collection Account for all Advances and Nonrecoverable Advances as provided in
Section 5.09.
Section 6.04 Allocation of Realized Losses.
94
(a) Prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine (i) the
total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred during the related Principal
Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and to what extent such Realized Losses
constitute Excess Losses; and (iii) the respective portions of such Realized
Losses allocable to interest and to principal.
(b) The principal portion of any Realized Losses, other than Excess Losses,
shall be allocated as follows: first, to the Class B-5 Certificates until the
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-5 Certificates has been
reduced to zero; second, to the Class B-4 Certificates until the Outstanding
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-4 Certificates has been reduced to
zero; third, to Class B-3 Certificates until the Outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class B-3 Certificates has been reduced to zero;

Balance of the Class B-1 Certificates has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the
Class M-1 Certificates until the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of
the Class M-1 Certificates has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Class A-M
Certificates until the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
A-M Certificates has been reduced to zero; and eighth, (X) if the Realized Loss
has occurred with respect to a Group One Mortgage Loan, first to the Class 1-A
Certificates on a pro rata basis until the Outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class 1-A Certificates has been reduced to zero, and second to
the Class 2-A Certificates on a pro rata basis until the Outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class 2-A Certificates has been reduced to zero or (Y)
if the Realized Loss has occurred with respect to a Group Two Mortgage Loan,
first to the Class 2-A Certificates on a pro rata basis until the Outstanding
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 2-A Certificates has been reduced to
zero, and second to the Class 1-A Certificates on a pro rata basis until the
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 1-A Certificates has been
reduced to zero; provided, however, that if a Realized Loss occurs with respect
to a Discount Mortgage Loan (a) the amount of such Realized Loss equal to the
product of (i) the amount of such Realized Loss and (ii) the PO Percentage with
respect to such Discount Mortgage Loan will be allocated to Class A-P Component
One (if the Realized Loss occurred with respect to a Group One Mortgage Loan),
or to Class A-P Component Two (if the Realized Loss occurred with respect to the
Group Two Mortgage Loan) and (b) the remainder of such Realized Loss will be
allocated as described above; provided, however, that so long as the Outstanding
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 1-A5 Certificates is greater than
zero, (A) any Realized Losses (other than Excess Losses) that would otherwise be
allocated to the Class 1-A1 Certificates will instead be allocated to the Class
1-A5 Certificates, but only in an amount up to the product of (x) the
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 1-A5 Certificates (after
reduction of such Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance after giving effect
to the pro rata application of Realized Losses directly to the Class 1-A5
Certificates) and (y) 69.67%, (B) any Realized Losses (other than Excess Losses)
that would otherwise be allocated to the Class 1-A7 Certificates will instead be
allocated to the Class 1-A5 Certificates, but only in an amount up to the
product of (x) the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 1-A5
Certificates (after reduction of such Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance
after giving effect to the pro rata application of Realized Losses directly to
the Class 1-A5 Certificates) and (y) 17.22% and (C) any Realized Losses (other
than Excess Losses) that would otherwise be allocated to the Class 1-A9
Certificates will instead be allocated to the Class 1-A5 Certificates, but only
in an amount up to the product of (x) the Outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class 1-A5 Certificates (after reduction of such Outstanding
Certificate Principal Balance after giving effect to the pro rata application of
Realized Losses directly to the Class 1-A5 Certificates) and (y) 13.11%. The
principal portion of any Excess Losses shall be allocated without priority among
(i) all Classes of Subordinated Certificates and (ii) the Class A Certificates,
pro rata based upon their respective Outstanding Certificate Principal Balances
(or, in the case of the Class 1-A3 Certificates, the lesser of their Original
Certificate Principal Balance or their Outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance); provided, however, that the Class A Certificates related to the
Mortgage Group in which the Excess Loss occurs will be allocated the portion of
such Excess Losses that would otherwise be allocated to the Class A
95
Certificates not related to such Mortgage Group; and provided, further, however,
that the applicable PO Percentage of any Excess Losses on the Discount Mortgage
Loans shall be allocated to Class A-P Component One (if the Excess Loss occurred
with respect to a Group One Mortgage Loan), or to Class A-P Component Two (if
the Excess Loss occurred with respect to a Group Two Mortgage Loan). For
purposes of the foregoing sentence, each Class of Subordinated Certificates will
be deemed to have an Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance (and to accrue
interest thereon) equal to the actual Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance
thereof times a fraction, the numerator of which is the Group One Subordinated
Amount (for a loss on a Group One Mortgage Loan) or the Group Two Subordinated
Amount (for a loss on a Group Two Mortgage Loan), and the denominator of which
is the aggregate of the Group One Subordinated Amount and the Group Two
Subordinated Amount.
(c) As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a "pro rata basis"
among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on a pro
rata basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class of
Certificates on the basis of their Outstanding Certificate Principal Balances
(or, in the case of the Class 1-A3 Certificates, the lesser of (i) the Original
Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificates and (ii) the Outstanding
Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificates) prior to giving effect to
distributions to be made on such Distribution Date. All Realized Losses and all
other losses allocated to a Class of Certificates hereunder will be allocated
among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests
evidenced thereby.
(d) In the event that a recovery is made with respect to any Realized Loss,
the amount of such recovery shall be treated as a Principal Prepayment and
deposited into the Collection Account and distributed on the applicable
Distribution Date.
Section 6.05 Compensating Interest; Allocation of Certain Interest
Shortfalls.
(a) Upon a Principal Prepayment of a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall
deposit into the Collection Account from its own funds, as a reduction of its
servicing compensation hereunder, an amount, if any, by which the amount of the
interest that would otherwise accrue with respect to such Mortgage Loan from the
date of prepayment to the Due Date in the related Due Period at the Net Mortgage
Rate exceeds the amount of the interest (adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate)
collected from the Mortgagor with respect to such period (such amount,
"Compensating Interest"); provided, however, that with respect to any
Distribution Date, the Servicer's obligation to deposit any such amount is
limited to an amount equal to the product of (i) one-twelfth of 0.125% and (ii)
the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans with respect to
such Distribution Date.
(b) On any Distribution Date, the excess, if any, of (X) Compensating
Interest with respect to such Distribution Date over (Y) the amount deposited in
the Collection Account pursuant to (a) above for such Distribution Date shall
equal the "Compensating Interest Shortfall" with respect to such Distribution
Date. On any Distribution Date, the Compensating Interest Shortfall shall be
allocated pro rata among the outstanding Classes of Class A, Class M and Class B
Certificates based on the amount of interest (disregarding any Basis Risk
Shortfall Carryover Amount) to which each such Class would otherwise be paid on
such Distribution Date had there been no such Compensating Interest Shortfall.
(c) On any Distribution Date, the interest portion of any Realized Losses
("Realized Loss Interest Shortfall") (other than the interest portion of Excess
Losses) shall be allocated to the Class of Subordinated Certificates then
outstanding having the highest numerical class designation (for this purpose,
the Class M Certificates shall be deemed to have a lower numerical class
designation than each Class of Class B Certificates) or, if no Class of
Subordinated Certificates is then outstanding, to the Class A Certificates
(other than the Class A-P Certificates) pro rata among the outstanding Classes
of Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-P Certificates) based on the
amount of interest (disregarding any
96
Basis Risk Shortfall Carryover Amount) to which each such Class would otherwise
be entitled (or in the case of the Class 1-A3 Certificates, added to the
principal balance of such Class, prior to the Class 1-A3 Accretion Termination
Date, as applicable) on such Distribution Date had there been no such Realized
Loss Interest Shortfall. On any Distribution Date, the interest portion of any
Excess Losses shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Classes of
Certificates based upon the amount of interest (disregarding any Basis Risk
Shortfall Carryover Amount) to which each such Class would otherwise be entitled
(or in the case of the Class 1-A3 Certificates, added to the principal balance
of such Class, prior to the Class 1-A3 Accretion Termination Date, as
applicable) on such Distribution Date had there been no such Excess Losses
allocable to interest; provided, however, that so long as the Outstanding
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 1-A5 Certificates is greater than
zero, (A) the interest portion of any Excess Losses that would otherwise be
allocated to the Class 1-A1 Certificates in accordance with this Section 6.05(c)
will instead be allocated to the Class 1-A5 Certificates, but only in an amount
up to the product of (x) the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the
Class 1-A5 Certificates (after reduction of such Outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance after giving effect to the pro rata application of Realized
Losses directly to the Class 1-A5 Certificates) and (y) 69.67%, (B) the interest
portion of any Excess Losses that would otherwise be allocated to the Class 1-A7
Certificates in accordance with this Section 6.05(c) will instead be allocated
to the Class 1-A5 Certificates, but only in an amount up to the product of (x)
the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 1-A5 Certificates
(after reduction of such Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance after giving
effect to the pro rata application of Realized Losses directly to the Class 1-A5
Certificates) and (y) 17.22% and (C) the interest portion of any Excess Losses
that would otherwise be allocated to the Class 1-A9 Certificates in accordance
with this Section 6.05(c) will instead be allocated to the Class 1-A5
Certificates, but only in an amount up to the product of (x) the Outstanding
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 1-A5 Certificates (after reduction of
such Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance after giving effect to the pro
rata application of Realized Losses directly to the Class 1-A5 Certificates) and
(y) 13.11%.
(d) Any interest shortfall resulting from the Relief Act shall be allocated
pro rata among the outstanding Classes of Certificates based upon the amount of
interest (disregarding any Basis Risk Shortfall Carryover Amount) to which each
such Class would otherwise be paid on such Distribution Date.
Section 6.06 Subordination. The rights of the Class B Certificateholders to
receive distributions in respect of the Class B Certificates on any Distribution
Date shall be subordinated to the rights of the Class A and Class M
Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Class A and Class
M Certificates. The rights of the Class M-1 Certificateholders to receive
distributions inrespect of the Class M-1 Certificates on any Distribution Date
shall be subordinated to the rights of the Class A and Class A-M
Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Class A and Class
A-M Certificates, respectively. The rights of the Class A-M Certificateholders
to receive distributions in respect of the Class A-M Certificates on any
Distribution Date shall be subordinated to the rights of the Class A
Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Class A
Certificates. The rights of the Class B-1 Certificateholders to receive
distributions in respect of the Class B-1 Certificates on any Distribution Date
shall be subordinate to the rights of the Class A and Class M Certificateholders
to receive distributions in respect of such Class A and Class M Certificates.
Each Class of Class B Certificates (other than the Class B-1 Certificates) is
subordinated to the Class A Certificates, the Class M Certificates and each
Class of Class B Certificates having a lower numerical class designation than
such Class of Class B Certificates. The rights of the Servicer, as servicer, to
receive funds from the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 5.09, on account
of the Servicing Fee (except as provided in Section 6.05) in respect of each
Mortgage Loan, assumption fees, late payment charges and other mortgagor
charges, reimbursement of Advances and expenses or otherwise, shall not be
subordinated to the rights of the Class A, Class M or Class B
Certificateholders. Amounts held by the Servicer or the Paying Agent for future
distribution to the Class M or Class B Certificateholders, including, without
limitation, in the
97
Collection Account, shall not be distributed in respect of the Class M or Class
B Certificates except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Class
B Certificateholders are deemed to have granted a security interest in such
amounts to the Class A and Class M Certificateholders to secure the rights of
the Class A and Class M Certificateholders to receive distributions in priority
over the Class B Certificateholders. The Class M Certificateholders are deemed
to have granted a security interest in such amounts to the Class A
Certificateholders to secure the rights of the Class A Certificateholders to
receive distributions in priority over the Class A Certificateholders.
Section 6.07 Determination of LIBOR. The meaning of LIBOR applicable to the
calculation of the Certificate Rates on the Class 1-A1 and Class 1-A2
Certificates for any Interest Accrual Period (other than the initial Interest
Accrual Period) will be determined by the Servicer on each Rate Adjustment Date
as follows:
For any Interest Accrual Period other than the first Interest Accrual
Period, "LIBOR" means, with respect to a Yield Maintenance Agreement Remittance
Date, the rate determined by the Counterparty to be (i) the per annum rate for
deposits in U.S. dollars for a period of one month which appears on the Telerate
Page 3750 Screen as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the day that is two London
Business Days prior to the first day of the Interest Accrual Period relating to
such Yield Maintenance Agreement Remittance Date (rounded upwards, if necessary,
to the nearest 1/100,000 of 1%); (ii) if such rate does not appear on the
Telerate Page 3750 Screen, LIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean (rounded as
aforesaid) of the offered quotations obtained by the Counterparty from the
Reference Banks for deposits in U.S. dollars to leading banks in the London
interbank market as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the day that is
two London Business Days prior to the first day of the Interest Accrual Period
relating to such Yield Maintenance Agreement Remittance Date; or (iii) if fewer
than two Reference Banks provide the Counterparty with such quotations, LIBOR
shall be the rate per annum which the Counterparty determines to be the
arithmetic mean (rounded as aforesaid) of the offered quotations which leading
banks in New York City selected by the Counterparty are quoting in the New York
interbank market on the first day of the Interest Accrual Period relating to
such Yield Maintenance Agreement Remittance Date for deposits in U.S. dollars to
the Reference Banks or, if fewer than two such quotations are available, to
leading European and Canadian banks.
The establishment of LIBOR by the Counterparty on any Rate Adjustment Date
and the Servicer's subsequent calculation of the Certificate Rates applicable to
the Class 1-A1 Certificates for the relevant Interest Accrual Period, in the
absence of manifest error, will be final and binding.

REPORTS TO BE PREPARED BY THE SERVICER
Section 7.01 Servicer Shall Provide Information as Reasonably Required. The
Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed
pursuant to Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, during the term of this Agreement,
such periodic, special, or other reports or information, whether or not provided
for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable, or appropriate in respect to the
Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed pursuant to Section 4.05, the
Paying Agent, or otherwise in respect to the purposes of this Agreement, all
such reports or information to be as provided by and in accordance with such
applicable instructions and directions as the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has
been appointed pursuant to Section 4.05, the Paying Agent may reasonably
require.
98
Section 7.02 Federal Information Returns and Reports to Certificateholders.
(a) For federal income tax purposes, the taxable year of each REMIC Pool
shall be a calendar year and the Servicer shall maintain or cause the
maintenance of the books of each REMIC Pool on the accrual method of accounting.
(b) The Servicer or anyone acting on its behalf pursuant to Section 2.04(g)
shall prepare and file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service
federal tax or information returns with respect to the Trust Fund, each REMIC
Pool and the Certificates containing such information and at the times and in
the manner as may be required by the Code or applicable Treasury regulations,
and shall furnish to each Certificateholder at any time during the calendar year
for which such returns or reports are made such statements or information at the
times and in the manner as may be required thereby. Without limitation on any
other requirement of this Section 7.02, the Servicer shall make available the
information necessary for the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code within
60 days of such request. With respect to the Class A-R Certificate, the Servicer
shall provide such information or cause such information to be provided to (i)
the Internal Revenue Service, (ii) the transferor of a Class A-R Certificate to
a Disqualified Organization and (iii) a Pass-Thru Entity that holds a Class A-R
Certificate with one or more record holders that are Disqualified Organizations.
The Servicer also shall provide or cause to be provided promptly the above
described computation and information relating to the tax on transfers to
Disqualified Organizations or holdings by Pass-Thru Entities within sixty (60)
days after becoming aware of the transfer to a Disqualified Organization or
Pass-Thru Entity with one or more Disqualified Organization owners, as the case
may be. In addition, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, any
Person holding an interest in a Pass-Thru Entity as a nominee for another will,
with respect to such interest, be treated as a Pass-Thru Entity. In connection
with the foregoing, the Servicer shall provide the name, address and telephone
number of the person who can be contacted to obtain information required to be
reported to the holders of regular interests in any REMIC created hereunder (the
"REMIC Reporting Agent") as required by IRS Form 8811. The Trustee hereby
designates the Servicer to serve as the REMIC Reporting Agent. The Servicer
shall indicate the elections to treat each of the REMIC Pools as a REMIC (which
elections shall apply to the taxable period ending December 31, 2007 and each
calendar year thereafter) in such manner as the Code or applicable Treasury
regulations may prescribe. The Trustee shall sign all tax and information
returns filed pursuant to this Section 7.02 and any other returns as may be
required by the Code, and in doing so shall rely entirely upon, and shall have
no liability for information provided by, or calculations provided by, the
Servicer. The Servicer is hereby designated as the agent of the Holder of the
Class A-R Certificate who shall be the "tax matters person" (within the meaning
of Treas. Reg. Section 1.860F-4(d)) for each REMIC Pool. Any Holder of a Class
A-R Certificate will by acceptance thereof so appoint the Servicer as agent and
attorney-in-fact for the purpose of acting as tax matters person. In the event
that the Code or applicable Treasury regulations prohibit the Trustee from
signing tax or information returns or other statements, or the Servicer from
acting as tax matters person (as an agent or otherwise), the Trustee or the
Servicer, as the case may be, shall take whatever action that in its sole good
faith judgment is necessary for the proper filing of such information returns or
for the provision of a tax matters person, including designation of the Holder
of a Class A-R Certificate to sign such returns or act as tax matters person.
Each Holder of a Class A-R Certificate shall be bound by this Section 7.02 by
virtue of its acceptance of a Class A-R Certificate.

ARTICLE VIII
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICER
99
Section 8.01 Indemnification; Third Party Claims. The Servicer agrees to
indemnify the Depositor and the Trustee and hold the Depositor and the Trustee,
their officers, directors, employees and agents harmless against any and all
claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Depositor or the
Trustee, or their officers, directors, employees or agents may sustain in any
way related to failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the
Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that no
such indemnification shall be required with respect to acts of a prior Servicer.
The Servicer shall immediately notify the Depositor and the Trustee if a claim
is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans,
assume (with the consent of the Depositor and the Trustee) 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, the Depositor or the Trustee, their officers, directors,
employees or agents in respect of such claim. This right to indemnification
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 8.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Servicer. The
Depositor and the Servicer will each keep in full effect its existence, rights
and franchises as a corporation, and will obtain and preserve its qualification
to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its duties under this Agreement. The Servicer will not sell all
or substantially all of its assets without the prior written consent of the
Depositor and the Trustee which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Any Person into which the Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or to whom the Depositor or the Servicer has sold substantially
all of its assets, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Depositor or the Servicer shall be a party, or any
Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Servicer, shall be the
successor of the Depositor or the Servicer hereunder, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the
successor or surviving Person to the Servicer shall satisfy the requirements of
Section 8.05 with respect to the qualifications of a successor to the Servicer.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 8.02 and Section 8.04 to the
contrary, the Servicer may assign its rights and delegate its duties and
obligations under this Agreement; provided that the Person accepting such
assignment or delegation shall be a Person which is qualified to service
mortgage loans on behalf of FNMA or FHLMC, is approved in advance in writing by
the Trustee and the Depositor, is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and
executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee, which
contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and
observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the
Servicer under this Agreement; provided further that each Rating Agency's rating
of any of the Classes of Certificates that have been rated in effect immediately
prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or reduced or
withdrawn as a result of such assignment and delegation. In the case of any such
assignment and delegation, the Servicer shall be released from its obligations
as Servicer under this Agreement, except that the Servicer shall remain liable
for all liabilities and obligations incurred by it as Servicer hereunder prior
to the satisfaction of the conditions to such assignment and delegation set
forth in the next preceding sentence.
Section 8.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Trustee and Others. Neither the Depositor, the Servicer nor any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the 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 Depositor or the Servicer against
100
any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform
its obligations in strict compliance with this Agreement, or any liability which
would otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions
of this Agreement. The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may
rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. Neither the
Depositor, the Servicer nor the Trustee shall be under any obligation to appear
in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its
respective duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this
Agreement and which in its opinion may cause it to incur any expenses or
liability; provided, however, that the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee
may in its discretion (and, in the case of the Depositor or the Servicer, with
the consent of the Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld)
undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect
to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such
event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities payable from the Collection
Account and the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account as provided by Section 5.09;
provided that no such right of reimbursement shall exist with respect to the
Servicer when such claim relates to the failure of the Servicer to service the
Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement or to a
breach of a representation or warranty made by the Servicer hereunder.
Section 8.04 Depositor and Servicer Not to Resign. Except as described in
Section 8.02, neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall assign this Agreement
or resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual
consent of the Depositor, the Servicer and all of the Certificateholders unless
the determination is made that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible
under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Depositor or the
Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Depositor or
the Servicer shall be evidenced by an opinion of independent counsel to such
effect delivered to the Trustee which opinion of counsel shall be in form and
substance acceptable to the Trustee. Upon any such assignment or resignation,
the Depositor or the Servicer, as appropriate, shall send notice to all
Certificateholders of the effect of such assignment or resignation upon the then
current rating of the Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency whose rating
on such Class is then in effect. No such resignation shall become effective
until a successor shall have assumed the Depositor's or the Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section
8.05. Any purported assignment or resignation which does not comply with the
requirements of this Section shall be of no effect.
Section 8.05 Successor to the Servicer. In connection with the termination
of the Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to
Section 8.04 or 9.01, the Trustee shall succeed to and assume all of the
Servicer's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations as Servicer (but not
in any other capacity) under this Agreement (except that the Trustee shall not
be obligated to make Advances if prohibited by applicable law nor to effectuate
repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 and
except that the Trustee makes no representations and warranties pursuant to
Sections 3.01 and 3.02). Prior to the termination of the Servicer's
responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement, the Trustee may
appoint a successor having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and which is
a FNMA or FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing and which shall
succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement, except as aforesaid, if the
Trustee receives a letter from each Rating Agency that such appointment would
not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the current rating of any Class of
Certificates that is rated by a Rating Agency. Any co-trustee appointed pursuant
to Section 10.10 for purposes of this Section 8.05 shall have an obligation to
make Advances pursuant to Section 6.03 during such time as the Trustee is the
Servicer, which obligation shall be joint and several with that of the Trustee
as Servicer. If the Trustee has become the successor to the Servicer in
accordance with this Section or Section 9.03, then notwithstanding the above,
the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act,
101
or shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution
having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and which is a FNMA or FHLMC
approved seller/servicer in good standing as the successor to the Servicer
hereunder in the assumption of all of the responsibilities, duties or
liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. In connection with any such appointment
and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of
such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall
agree or such court shall determine; provided, however, that no such
compensation shall be in excess of that permitted under this Agreement without
the consent of all of the Certificateholders. If the Trustee is acting as
Servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled to all compensation of the Servicer
hereunder, and all such compensation due to the Trustee as Servicer shall be in
addition to all compensation it is entitled to as Trustee under this Agreement.
If the Servicer's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement
should be terminated pursuant to Section 8.02, 8.04 or 9.01, the Servicer shall
discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it
acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the
same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under
this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or
prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor or the Trust Fund.
The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02, 8.04 or
9.01 shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to
this Section and shall in no event relieve the Servicer of liability for breach
of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.02.
Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Servicer and to the Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the
Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement
and the Certificates. Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or this
Agreement pursuant to Section 8.02, 8.04, 9.01 or 11.01 shall not affect any
claims that the Trustee may have against the Servicer for events or actions
taken or not taken by the Servicer arising prior to any such termination or
resignation.
The Servicer shall timely deliver to the successor the funds that were, or
were required to be, in the Collection Account and the Escrow Account, if any,
and all Mortgage Files and related documents, statements and recordkeeping held
by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all funds and shall execute
and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be
required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such
rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the
Servicer.
Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Servicer shall
notify, in writing, the Trustee, the Certificateholders and each Rating Agency
of such appointment.
Section 8.06 Maintenance of Ratings. The Servicer shall cooperate with the
Depositor and take any action that may be reasonably necessary to maintain the
current rating or ratings on the Certificates.
[END OF ARTICLE VIII]
ARTICLE IX
DEFAULT
Section 9.01 Events of Default. If one or more of the following Events of
Default shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:
102
(a) any failure by the Servicer to remit any payment required to be made or
distributed under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a
period of three (3) Business Days after the date upon which written notice of
such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Servicer by the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Depositor or to the Servicer,
the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Depositor by the Holders of Certificates
of any Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not
less than 25%; or
(b) a breach by the Servicer in a material respect of any representation or
warranty set forth in Section 3.02, or failure on the part of the Servicer duly
to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or
agreements on the part of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement, which
continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written
notice of such breach or failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor or to the Servicer,
the Trustee and the Depositor by the Holders of Certificates of any Class
evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than
25%; or
(c) the Servicer shall notify the Trustee and any Paying Agent appointed
pursuant to Section 4.05 in writing that it is unable to make an Advance
required to be made in accordance with Section 6.03; or;
(d) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having
jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in
any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall
have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have
remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or
(e) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of
assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or
of or relating to all or substantially all of the Servicer's property; or
(f) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any
applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not
have been remedied, upon receiving notice or knowledge of such event, the
Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders and each Rating Agency of such Event
of Default. The Trustee may, upon receipt of such notice or knowledge, and at
the written direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage
Interests aggregating more than 50%, shall, by notice in writing to the
Servicer, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this
Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after
the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of
the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or
otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to
Section 8.05. Upon written request from the Trustee, the Servicer shall prepare,
execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such
successor's possession all Mortgage Files, and do or accomplish all other acts
or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of
the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Servicer's sole
expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and any co-trustee in
effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights
hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for
administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited or
should have been credited by the Servicer to the Collection Account or Escrow
Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee
will have no obligation to take any action or institute,
103
conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement at the request, order or
direction of any of the Holders of Certificates unless such Certificateholders
have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which the Trustee may incur. The Paying Agent shall
provide information regarding the Certificateholders available to the Paying
Agent in order to allow the Trustee to comply with the provisions above.
Section 9.02 Waiver of Defaults. The Trustee may waive any default by the
Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences,
except that a default in the making of any required distribution on any of the
Certificates may only be waived by the Holders of a majority of the Percentage
Interests 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 9.03 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the
time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 9.01, the
Trustee or a successor servicer appointed by it shall be the successor in all
respects to the Servicer to the extent provided in Section 8.05.
Section 9.04 Notification to Certificateholders and the Rating Agencies.
(a) Upon any such termination pursuant to Section 9.01, the Trustee shall
give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.
(b) Within sixty (60) days of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee having
received written notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee
shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each such Event
of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall
have been cured or waived.
(c) The Paying Agent shall provide information regarding the
Certificateholders available to the Paying Agent in order to allow the Trustee
to comply with the provisions above.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 10.01 Duties of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an
Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have
occurred, undertakes to, and is empowered to, perform such duties and only such
duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Any permissive right of
the Trustee as enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty;
provided that in case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been
cured), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by
this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such
man's own affairs.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or
its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
104
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the
curing of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties
and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for
the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on
the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth
of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein,
upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming
to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in
good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee,
unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining
the pertinent facts; and
(iii) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the direction of Certificateholders of any Class holding Certificates
which evidence, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 25% as to 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.
(iv) The Trustee shall execute the Letter of Representations, a form
of which is attached hereto as Exhibit P, on behalf of the Depositor.
Section 10.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 10.01:
(a) The Trustee may rely upon and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate, certificate
of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties;
(b) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and any advice or Opinion of
Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of
any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in
accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;
(c) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts
or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any
litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of
any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby;
(d) Neither the Trustee nor any of its directors, officers, employees or
agents shall be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by
it in good faith and believed by it or any of them to be authorized or within
the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon the Trustee by this Agreement;
(e) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the
curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not
be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing to do so by
105
Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage
Interests aggregating not less than 25% (in the case of conflicting requests by
two or more 25% or greater Percentage Interests, the Trustee shall act in
accordance with the first such request); provided, however, that if the payment
within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities
likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the
opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security
afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to such
proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by
the Servicer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and
otherwise by the Certificateholder requesting the investigation;
(f) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents,
subcontractors or attorneys; and
(g) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require the Trustee
(except as might otherwise be required in its capacity as successor Servicer) to
expend its own funds.
Section 10.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans. The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor or
the Servicer, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for
their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the
validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates, of any
Mortgage Loan or related document or the Trust Estate. The Trustee shall not be
accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or the Servicer of any
of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or
application of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Servicer in respect of the
Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the
Depositor or the Servicer or the Certificate Account by the Paying Agent. The
Trustee shall have no responsibility for the timeliness or the amount of
payments made by the Paying Agent to the Certificateholders.
Section 10.04 Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its individual
or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the
same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
Section 10.05 Fees and Expenses. The Paying Agent, from moneys received
from the Servicer, covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee and its agents a
monthly fee (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust) equal to the product of (a) the
aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Determination Date
in the preceding month and (b) one-twelfth of 0.000010, and the Servicer will
pay or reimburse the Trustee, or its agents upon its request for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee or its
agents in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of
all persons not regularly in its employ, and the expenses incurred by the
Trustee in connection with the appointment of an office or agency pursuant to
Section 10.11) and the Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee
its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all
claims, liabilities, losses or expenses (including but not limited to reasonable
attorneys fees) incurred in connection with the administration of this Trust and
the performance of its duties hereunder provided that the Servicer shall not be
required to reimburse any such expense or indemnify against any such loss or
liability incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee's own negligence or bad
faith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 10.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee hereunder
shall at all times be an entity having its principal office in a state and city
acceptable to the Depositor and organized and doing business under the laws of
such state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to
106
exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority. The Trustee shall not be an Affiliate of either Seller or the
Depositor. If such entity publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and
surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect specified in Section 10.07.
Section 10.07 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee. The Trustee, and any
co-trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby
created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Servicer and each
Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall
promptly appoint a successor trustee or co-trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning
Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee; provided that such appointment
does not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any of the Classes
of Certificates that have been rated. If no successor trustee shall have been so
appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving
of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time, the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of Section 10.06 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable
of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the
Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take
charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose
of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor may remove
the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate,
one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and
one copy to the successor trustee.
The Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate more than 50% of
Percentage Interest may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor
trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such
Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which
instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee
so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or any resignation of any
co-trustee and appointment of a successor trustee or co-trustee pursuant to any
of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 10.08, or upon
acceptance of appointment by a co-trustee, as applicable, unless with respect to
a co-trustee, the Trustee receives written notice from each Rating Agency that
the failure to appoint a successor co-trustee would not result in a withdrawal
or reduction of the rating of any of the Classes of Certificates that have been
rated, in which case the resignation of any co-trustee shall be effective upon
receipt of such written notice. Any co-trustee may not be removed unless the
Depositor and the Trustee each receive written notice from each Rating Agency
that such removal would not result in a withdrawal or reduction of the rating of
any of the Classes of Certificates that have been rated, in which case the
removal of any co-trustee shall be effective upon receipt of such written
notice.
Section 10.08 Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as
provided in Section 10.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Depositor and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee shall become effective, and such successor
107
trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers,
duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if
originally named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the
successor trustee all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held
by it hereunder, and the Depositor, the Servicer and the predecessor trustee
shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may
reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in
the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 10.06. Prior to the appointment of any successor
trustee becoming effective, the Depositor shall have received from each Rating
Agency written confirmation that such appointment would not result in a
reduction of the rating of the Class A or Class M Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section, the Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee
hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the
Certificate Register, to the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer and to each Rating
Agency. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within ten (10) days after
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall
cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.
Section 10.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any entity into which the
Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any
entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 10.06, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 10.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. At any time,
for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be
located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and
shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons
approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the
Trustee, of any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons,
in such capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and,
subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.10, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Depositor and the Trustee may consider
necessary or desirable. If the Depositor shall not have joined in such
appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request so to
do, or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or
separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as
a successor trustee under Section 10.06, hereunder, and no notice to Holders of
Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be
required under Section 10.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant
to this Section 10.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or
performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly and
severally, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or
as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers,
duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any
portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by
such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.
108
Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer
to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article X. Each separate trustee
and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested
with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either
jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to
all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of
this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or
affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with
the Trustee.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name.
Section 10.11 Appointment of Office or Agency. The Trustee may appoint an
office or agency in The City of New York where Certificates may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee will maintain an office at
the address stated in Section 12.07 hereof where notices and demands to or upon
the Trustee in respect of the Certificates may be served.
Section 10.12 Indemnification.
(a) The Paying Agent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Servicer and their respective officers, directors, agents and
Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses
arising out of or based upon a failure of the Paying Agent to deliver when
required any Assessment of Compliance required of it pursuant to Section 5.26 or
any material misstatement or omission contained in any Assessment of Compliance
provided on its behalf pursuant to Section 5.26. If the indemnification provided
for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the indemnified
parties, then the Paying Agent agrees that it shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by the indemnified parties as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities of the indemnified parties in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Paying Agent on the one hand
and of the indemnified parties on the other.
(b) The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the Paying
Agent and the Depositor and their respective officers, directors, agents and
Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses
arising out of or based upon a breach by the Servicer or any of its officers,
directors, agents or Affiliates of its obligations under Sections 5.24, 5.25,
and 5.26, any material misstatement or omission in any documents prepared
thereunder (to the extent the Servicer is responsible for providing information
or calculating amounts included in such information), the failure of the
Servicer to deliver when required any Assessment of Compliance or Accountant's
Attestation required of it pursuant to Section 5.26 or Annual Statement of
Compliance required pursuant to Section 5.25, as applicable, or any material
misstatement or omission contained in any Assessment of Compliance, Accountant's
Attestation or Annual Statement of Compliance provided on its behalf pursuant to
Section 5.25 or 5.26, as applicable, or the negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of the Servicer in connection therewith. If the indemnification
provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the
indemnified parties, then the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the indemnified parties as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities of the indemnified parties in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Servicer on the one hand and
of the indemnified parties on the other.

ARTICLE XI
TERMINATION
Section 11.01 Termination. The respective obligations and responsibilities
of the Depositor, the Servicer (except the duty to pay the Trustee's fees and
expenses and indemnification hereunder) and the Trustee shall terminate upon (i)
the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of all property acquired
upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the
remittance of all funds due hereunder; or (ii) at the option of the Servicer, on
any Distribution Date which occurs in the month next following a Due Date on
which the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance of all Outstanding Mortgage Loans
is less than 10% of the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
on the Cut-off Date, so long as the Servicer deposits or causes to be deposited
in the Collection Account during the Principal Prepayment Period related to such
Distribution Date (and provides notice to the Trustee with a copy to the Paying
Agent appointed pursuant to Section 4.05 of its intention to so deposit on or
before 20th day of such Principal Prepayment Period) an amount equal to the
Purchase Price for each Outstanding Mortgage Loan, less any unreimbursed
Advances made with respect to any Mortgage Loan (which amount shall offset
completely any unreimbursed Advances for which the Servicer is otherwise
entitled to reimbursement), and, with respect to all property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, an amount equal to the
fair market value of such property, as determined by an appraisal to be
conducted by an appraiser selected by the Trustee, less unreimbursed Advances
made with respect to any Mortgage Loan with respect to which property has been
acquired; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby
continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor
of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United
States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a termination may be effected by the making of such optional
repurchases only if the termination of the Trust Fund satisfies the requirement
for a "qualified liquidation" of the Trust Fund within the meaning of Section
860F(a)(4) of the Code and the purchases of the Outstanding Mortgage Loans
pursuant to this Section 11.01 will not constitute "prohibited transactions"
within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code.
Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon which all
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee or, if a
Paying Agent has been appointed pursuant to Section 4.05, the Paying Agent for
payment and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee or, if a Paying
Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, (upon direction
by the Depositor ten (10) days prior to the date such notice is to be mailed) by
signed letter to Certificateholders and each Rating Agency mailed no later than
the 25th day of the month preceding the month of such final distribution
specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which final payment on the
Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the
office or agency of the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under
Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, therein designated and (ii) that the Record Date
otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being
made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or
agency of the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section
4.05, the Paying Agent, therein specified. The Servicer shall indicate the date
of adoption of the plan of qualified liquidation in a statement attached to the
final federal income tax return of each REMIC Pool. After giving such notice,
the Trustee or if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the
Paying Agent shall not register the transfer or exchange of any Certificates. If
such notice is given in connection with the Servicer's election to purchase the
Outstanding Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account
after adoption of the plan during the applicable Principal Prepayment Period an
amount equal to the purchase price as determined as provided in clause (ii) of
the preceding paragraph and on the Distribution Date on which such termination
is to occur, Certificateholders will be entitled to the amount of such purchase
price but not amounts in excess thereof, all as provided herein. Upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee, or if a
110
Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent shall
notify the Servicer and the Servicer shall cause to be distributed to
Certificateholders an amount equal to (a) the amount otherwise distributable on
such Distribution Date, if not in connection with a purchase; or (b) if the
Servicer elected to so purchase, the purchase price determined as provided in
clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph. Following such final deposit the Trustee
shall promptly release to the Servicer the Mortgage Files for the remaining
Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and
other instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer and shall have no
further responsibility with regard to said Mortgage Files.
If all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for
cancellation within three (3) months after the time specified in the
above-mentioned written notice, at the close of the 90 day period beginning
after the written notice is given, each remaining Certificateholder will be
credited with an amount that would have been otherwise distributed to such
Certificateholder, and the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed
under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, 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 three (3)
months after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been
appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, shall appoint an agent to take
appropriate and reasonable steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders
concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid
out of the funds and other assets which remain in the Trust Fund hereunder.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 12.01 Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any
reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or
terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.
Section 12.02 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death or
incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
proceeding in any court for a partition or winding-up of the Trust Fund, nor
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly
provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management
of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything
herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so
as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members
of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any
third Person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement
pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of
this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law
upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously
shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of the
continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and the Holders of Certificates
of any Class evidencing in the aggregate
111
not less than 25% of the Percentage Interests of such Class shall have made
written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in
its own name as Trustee hereunder (in the case of conflicting requests by two or
more 25% or greater Percentage Interests, the Trustee shall act in accordance
with the first such request) and shall have offered to the Trustee such
reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty (60)
days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall
have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it
being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each
Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no
one or more Holders of Certificates of any Class shall have any right in any
manner whatever by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates of such
Class or any other Class, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or
preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this
Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the common benefit of
Certificateholders of such Class or all Classes, as the case may be. 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 12.03 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by
the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions herein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein, to
ensure continuing treatment of each REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC to avoid
or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on any REMIC created hereunder
pursuant to the Code, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under this Agreement which shall not be materially
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, provided that such actions
shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder of a Class having an
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of greater than zero or cause any
REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interest of

MULTI-CLASS MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE
This certifies that the Registered Owner identified above is the registered
owner of the ownership interest (the "Ownership Interest") evidenced by this
Certificate in certain distributions with respect to a pool of Mortgage Loans
formed and sold by Chase Mortgage Finance Corporation (the "Depositor"), and
certain other property held in trust for the benefit of Certificateholders
(collectively, the "Trust Fund"), as described in the Agreement. The Mortgage
Loans are serviced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the "Servicer") and are secured
by liens on the Mortgaged Properties. The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a
Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of the Cut-off Date
among the Depositor, the Servicer, the Custodian and The Bank of New York Trust
Company, N.A., as Paying Agent and Trustee.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates, as
designated above, and is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions
and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this
Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which Agreement
such Holder is bound. Anyone acquiring this Certificate may ascertain its
current Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, by inquiry of the
Paying Agent.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Paying Agent will distribute
from funds in the Certificate Account the amount specified in the Agreement on
the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the
Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the
Initial Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made in the manner specified in
the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this
Certificate will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent of the pendency of
such distribution, and only upon presentation and
C-2
surrender of this Certificate at the office of the Paying Agent specified in
such notice of final distribution.
The Paying Agent will cause to be kept at its Agency & Trust Office in New
York, New York, or at the office of its designated agent, a Certificate Register
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Paying
Agent will provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Paying Agent, maintained for such
purpose, the Paying Agent will, subject to the limitations set forth in the
Agreement, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, a Certificate of a like class and dated the date of authentication
by the Authenticating Agent.

solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that neither the Trustee nor
the Paying Agent is liable to the Holders for any amount payable under this
Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement,
subject to any liability under the Agreement.
No service charge will be made to the Holder for any transfer or exchange
of the Certificate, but the Paying Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with
any transfer or exchange of the Certificate. Prior to due presentation of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Paying Agent and the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate

Servicer and the Trustee in the manner specified in the Agreement.
The Agreement provides that the Trust Fund will elect to be treated as one
or more "real estate mortgage investment conduits" for federal income tax
purposes (each, a "REMIC").
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the
Servicer (except the duty to pay the Trustee's fees and expenses and
indemnification hereunder) and the Trustee shall terminate in the manner
specified in the Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust

MULTI-CLASS MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE
This certifies that the Registered Owner identified above is the registered
owner of the ownership interest (the "Ownership Interest") evidenced by this
Certificate in certain distributions with respect to a pool of Mortgage Loans
formed and sold by Chase Mortgage Finance Corporation (the "Depositor"), and
certain other property held in trust for the benefit of Certificateholders
(collectively, the "Trust Fund"), as described in the Agreement. The Mortgage
Loans are serviced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the "Servicer") and are secured
by liens on the Mortgaged Properties. The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a
Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of the Cut-off Date
among the Depositor, the Servicer, the Custodian and The Bank of New York Trust
Company, N.A., as Paying Agent and Trustee.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates, as
designated above, and is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions
and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this
Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which Agreement
such Holder is bound. Anyone acquiring this Certificate may ascertain its
current Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, by inquiry of the
Paying Agent.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Paying Agent will distribute
from funds in the Certificate Account the amount specified in the Agreement on
the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the
Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the
Initial Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made in the manner specified in
the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this
Certificate will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent of the pendency of
such distribution, and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the office of the Paying Agent specified in such notice of final
distribution.
The Paying Agent will cause to be kept at its Agency & Trust Office in New
York, New York, or at the office of its designated agent, a Certificate Register
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Paying
Agent will provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Paying Agent, maintained for such
purpose, the Paying Agent will, subject to the limitations set forth in the
Agreement, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, a Certificate of a like class and dated the date of authentication

The Holder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look

Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement,
subject to any liability under the Agreement.
E-4
No service charge will be made to the Holder for any transfer or exchange
of the Certificate, but the Paying Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with
any transfer or exchange of the Certificate. Prior to due presentation of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Paying Agent and the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate
is registered as the owner of such Certificate and the Percentage Interest in
the Trust Fund evidenced thereby for the purpose of receiving distributions
pursuant to the Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Paying Agent nor the Trustee will be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee in the manner specified in the Agreement.
The Agreement provides that the Trust Fund will elect to be treated as one
or more "real estate mortgage investment conduits" for federal income tax
purposes (each, a "REMIC").
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the
Servicer (except the duty to pay the Trustee's fees and expenses and
indemnification hereunder) and the Trustee shall terminate in the manner
specified in the Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust
created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the
death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late
ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date
hereof.
Unless the certificate of authentication has been executed by the
Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

manner, or (e) take any other action, that would constitute a distribution of
any Certificate under the Securities Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the "1940 Act"), that would render the disposition of any
Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state
securities law, or that would require registration or qualification pursuant
thereto. Neither the Purchaser nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered the
Certificates for sale or made any general solicitation by means of general

1. In connection with the performance of its duties under the Pooling and

the Company, as Servicer, shall provide to the Purchaser the following notices
and reports:
(a) Within five Business Days after each Distribution Date (or
included in or with the monthly statement to Certificateholders
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Company
shall provide to the Purchaser a report indicating for the Trust
the number of Mortgage Loans that are (A) thirty days, (B) sixty
days, (C) ninety days or more delinquent or (D) in foreclosure,
and indicating for each such Mortgage Loan the outstanding

foreclosure, stating the loan number and the aggregate amount
owing under the Mortgage Loan.
2. If requested by the Purchaser, the Company shall make its servicing
personnel available (during their normal business hours) to respond to
reasonable inquiries by the Purchaser in connection with any Mortgage Loan
identified in a report under subsection (a)(i)(B), (a)(i)(C), (a)(i)(D) or
(a)(ii) which has been given to the Purchaser; provided, that (1) the Company
shall only be required to provide information that is readily accessible to its
servicing personnel and is non-confidential and (2) the Company shall not be
required to provide any written information under this subsection.
3. In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall provide to the Purchaser
such information as the Purchaser may reasonably request concerning each
Mortgage Loan that is at least sixty days delinquent and each Mortgage Loan
which has become real estate owned, through the final liquidation thereof;
provided that the Company shall only be required to provide information that is
readily accessible to its servicing personnel and is non-confidential.
(a) With respect to all Mortgage Loans which are serviced at any time
by the Company through a Subservicer, the Company shall be
entitled to rely for all purposes hereunder, including for
purposes of fulfilling its reporting obligations under this
Section 2.01 on the accuracy and completeness of any information
provided to it by the applicable Subservicer.
Section 2.02 Purchaser's Election to Delay Foreclosure Proceedings.
1. The Purchaser directs the Company that in the event that the Company
does not receive written notice of the Purchaser's election pursuant to
subsection (b) below within 24 hours (exclusive of any intervening non-Business
Days) of transmission of the notice provided by the Company under Section
2.01(a)(ii), subject to extension as set forth in Section 2.02(b), the Company
shall proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure in respect of such Mortgage
Loan in accordance with its normal foreclosure policies without further notice
to the Purchaser. Any foreclosure that has been initiated may be discontinued
(i) without notice to the Purchaser, if the Mortgage Loan has been brought
current or if a refinancing or prepayment occurs with respect to the Mortgage
Loan (including by means of a short payoff approved by the Company) (ii) with
notice to the Purchaser if the Company has reached the terms of a forbearance
agreement with the borrower. In such latter case the Company may complete such
J-3
forbearance agreement unless instructed otherwise by the Purchaser within one
Business Day of notification.
2. In connection with any Mortgage Loan with respect to which a notice
under Section 2.01(a)(ii) has been given to the Purchaser, the Purchaser may
elect, for reasonable cause as determined by the Purchaser, to instruct the
Company to delay the Commencement of Foreclosure until such term as the
Purchaser determines that the Company may proceed with the Commencement of
Foreclosure. Such election must be evidenced by written notice received within
24 hours (exclusive of any intervening non-Business Days) of transmission of the
notice provided by the Company under Section 2.01(a)(ii). Such 24 hour period
shall be extended for no longer than an additional four Business Days after the
receipt of the information if the Purchaser requests additional information
related to such foreclosure; provided, however that the Purchaser will have at
least one Business Day to respond to any requested additional information. Any
such additional information shall (i) not be confidential in nature and (ii) be
obtainable by the Company from existing reports, certificates or statements or
otherwise be readily accessible to its servicing personnel. The Purchaser agrees
that it has no right to deal with the Mortgagor. If the Company's normal
foreclosure policy includes acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or short
payoff, the Purchaser will be notified and given one Business Day to respond.
3. With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an
Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Purchaser shall obtain a Current Appraisal as
soon as practicable, and shall provide the Company with a copy of such Current
Appraisal.
4. Within two Business Days of making any Election to Delay Foreclosure,
the Purchaser shall remit by wire transfer to the Company, for deposit in the
Collateral Fund, an amount, as calculated by the Company, equal to the sum of
(i) 125% of the greater of the outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loan and the value shown in the Current Appraisal referred to in subsection (c)
above (or, if such Current Appraisal has not yet been obtained, the Company's
estimate thereof, in which case the required deposit under this subsection shall
be adjusted upon obtaining of such Current Appraisal), and (ii) three months'
interest on the Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Rate. If any Election
to Delay Foreclosure extends for a period in excess of three months (such excess
period being referred to herein as the "Excess Period"), the Purchaser shall
remit by wire transfer in advance to the Company for deposit in the Collateral
Fund the amount, as calculated by the Company, equal to interest on the Mortgage
Loan at the applicable Mortgage Rate for the Excess Period. The terms of this
Agreement shall no longer apply to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan upon the
failure of the Purchaser to deposit the above amounts relating to the Mortgage
Loan within two Business Days of the Election to Delay Foreclosure.
5. With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an
Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Company may withdraw from the Collateral Fund
from time to time amounts necessary to reimburse the Company for all Advances
and Liquidation Expenses thereafter made by the Company as Servicer in
accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent that the
amount of any such Liquidation Expense is determined by the Company based on
estimated costs, and the actual costs are subsequently determined to be higher,
the Company may withdraw the additional amount from the Collateral Fund. In the
event that the Mortgage Loan is brought current by the Mortgagor and the
foreclosure action is discontinued, the amounts so withdrawn from the Collateral
Fund shall be redeposited therein as and to the extent that reimbursement
therefor from amounts paid by the Mortgagor is not prohibited pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Except as provided in the preceding sentence,
amounts withdrawn from the Collateral Fund to cover Advances and Liquidation
Expenses shall not be redeposited therein or otherwise reimbursed to the
Purchaser. If and when any such Mortgage Loan is brought current by the
Mortgagor, all amounts remaining in the Collateral Fund in respect of such
J-4
Mortgage Loan (after adjustment for all withdrawals and deposits pursuant to
this subsection) shall be released to the Purchaser.
6. With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an
Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Company shall continue to service the
Mortgage Loan in accordance with its customary procedures (other than the delay
in Commencement of Foreclosure as provided herein). If and when the Purchaser
shall notify the Company that it believes that it is appropriate to do so, the
Company shall proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure. In any event, if the
Mortgage Loan is not brought current by the Mortgagor by the time the loan
becomes 6 months delinquent, the Purchaser's election shall no longer be
effective and at the Purchaser's option, either (i) the Purchaser shall purchase
the Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at a purchase price equal to the fair
market value as shown on the Current Appraisal, to be paid by (x) applying any
balance in the Collateral Fund to such purchase price, and (y) to the extent of
any deficiency, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company
or Trustee; or (ii) the Company shall proceed with the Commencement of
Foreclosure.
7. Upon the occurrence of a liquidation with respect to any Mortgage Loan
as to which the Purchaser made an Election to Delay Foreclosure and as to which
the Company proceeded with the Commencement of Foreclosure in accordance with
subsection (f) above, the Company shall calculate the amount, if any, by which
the value shown on the Current Appraisal obtained under subsection (c) exceeds
the actual sales price obtained for the related Mortgaged Property (or stock
allocated to a dwelling unit in the case of a Co-op Loan) (net of Liquidation
Expenses and accrued interest related to the extended foreclosure period), and
the Company shall withdraw the amount of such excess from the Collateral Fund,
shall remit the same to the Trust Fund and in its capacity as Servicer shall
apply such amount as additional Liquidation Proceeds pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. After making such withdrawal, all amounts remaining in the
Collateral Fund in respect of such Mortgage Loan (after adjustment for all
withdrawals and deposits pursuant to subsection (e)) shall be released to the
Purchaser.
Section 2.03 Purchaser's Election to Commence Foreclosure Proceedings.
1. In connection with any Mortgage Loan identified in a report under
Section 2.01(a)(i)(B), the Purchaser may elect, for reasonable cause as
determined by the Purchaser, to instruct the Company to proceed with the
Commencement of Foreclosure as soon as practicable. Such election must be
evidenced by written notice received by the Company by 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the third Business Day following the delivery of such report under
Section 2.01(a)(i).
2. Within two Business Days of making any Election to Foreclose, the
Purchaser shall remit to the Company, for deposit in the Collateral Fund, an
amount, as calculated by the Company, equal to 125% of the current Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loan and three months' interest on the Mortgage Loan at
the applicable Mortgage Rate. If and when any such Mortgage Loan is brought
current by the Mortgagor, all amounts in the Collateral Fund in respect of such
Mortgage Loan shall be released to the Purchaser. The terms of this Agreement
shall no longer apply to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan upon the failure of
the Purchaser to deposit the above amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans within
two Business Days at the Election to Foreclose.
3. With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an
Election to Foreclose, the Company shall continue to service the Mortgage Loan
in accordance with its customary procedures (other than to proceed with the
Commencement of Foreclosure as provided herein). In connection therewith, the
Company shall have the same rights to make withdrawals for Advances and
Liquidation Expenses from the Collateral Fund as are provided under Section
2.02(e), and the Company shall make reimbursements thereto to the limited extent
provided under such subsection. The Company shall not be required to proceed
with the Commencement of Foreclosure if (i) the same is stayed as a result of
the Mortgagor's bankruptcy or is otherwise barred by applicable law, or to the
extent that all
J-5
legal conditions precedent thereto have not yet been complied with or (ii) the
Company believes there is a breach of representation or warranties by the
Company, which may result in a repurchase or substitution of such Mortgage Loan,
or (iii) the Company reasonably believes the Mortgaged Property (or Underlying
Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) may be contaminated with or
affected by hazardous wastes or hazardous substances (and the Company supplies
the Purchaser with information supporting such belief). The Company will
repurchase or substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the preceding clause (ii)
within the time period specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any
foreclosure that has been initiated may be discontinued (i) without notice to
the Purchaser if the Mortgage Loan has been brought current or if a refinancing
or prepayment occurs with respect to the Mortgage Loan (including by means of a
short payoff approved by the Company), or (ii) with notice to the Purchaser if
the Company has reached the terms of a forbearance agreement unless instructed
otherwise by the Purchaser within two Business Days of notification.
4. Upon the occurrence of a liquidation with respect to any Mortgage Loan
as to which the Purchaser made an Election to Foreclose and as to which the
Company proceeded with the Commencement of Foreclosure in accordance with
subsection (c) above, the Company shall calculate the amount, if any, by which
the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan at the time of liquidation (plus all
unreimbursed Advances and Liquidation Expenses in connection therewith other
than those paid from the Collateral Fund) exceeds the actual sales price
obtained for the related Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling

imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and
duties hereunder. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent
thereof may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly

as Servicer, for the benefit of registered holders of Chase Mortgage Finance
Trust Series 2007-1, Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2007-S2, Class B-5." Amounts in the Collateral Fund shall continue to be the

3. The Collateral Fund shall be an "outside reserve fund" within the

report all income, gain or loss with respect thereto. Any amounts transferred
from the Trust Fund to the Collateral Fund shall be deemed to be transferred to
the Purchaser, as beneficial owner of the Collateral Fund. In no event shall the
Purchaser (i) take or cause the Trustee or the Company to take any action that
could cause any REMIC established under the Trust Agreement to fail to qualify
as a REMIC or cause the imposition on any such REMIC of any "prohibited
transaction" or "prohibited contribution" taxes or (ii) cause the Trustee or the
Company to fail to take any action necessary to maintain the status of any such
REMIC as a REMIC.
Section 3.02. Collateral Fund Permitted Investments.
1. The Company shall, at the written direction of the Purchaser invest the

Collateral Fund Permitted Investments shall be borne by the Purchaser and the
amount of net realized losses shall be deposited by the Purchaser in the
Collateral Fund. The Company shall periodically (but not more frequently than
monthly) distribute to the Purchaser upon request an amount of cash, to the
extent cash is
J-7
available therefor in the Collateral Fund, equal to the amount by which the
balance of the Collateral Fund, after giving effect to all other distributions
to be made from the Collateral Fund on such date, exceeds the Required
Collateral Fund Balance. Any amounts so distributed shall be released from the
lien and security interest of this Agreement.
Section 3.03 Grant of Security Interest.
1. The Purchaser grants to the Company and the Trustee for the benefit of
the Certificateholders a security interest in and lien on all of the Purchaser's
right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to:
(1) the Collateral Fund, (2) all amounts deposited in the Collateral Fund and
Collateral Fund Permitted Investments in which such amounts are invested (and
the distributions and proceeds of such investments) and (3) all cash and
non-cash proceeds of any of the foregoing, including proceeds of the voluntary
or involuntary conversion thereof (all of the foregoing collectively, the
"Collateral").
2. The Purchaser acknowledges the lien on and security interest in the
Collateral for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Purchaser shall take
all actions requested by the Company or the Trustee as may be reasonably
necessary to perfect the security interest created under this Agreement in the
Collateral and cause it to be prior to all other security interests and liens,
including the execution and delivery to the Company for filing of appropriate
financing statements in accordance with applicable law. The Company shall file
appropriate continuation statements, or appoint an agent on its behalf to file
such statements, in accordance with applicable law.
Section 3.04 Collateral Shortfalls.
In the event that amounts on deposit in the Collateral Fund at any time are
insufficient to cover any withdrawals therefrom that the Company or the Trustee
is then entitled to make hereunder, the Purchaser shall be obligated to pay such
amounts to the Company or the Trustee immediately upon demand. Such obligation
shall constitute a general corporate obligation of the Purchaser.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We propose to purchase Chase Mortgage Finance Corporation's Chase Mortgage
Finance Trust Series 2007-S2, Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2007-S2, Class A-R, described in the Prospectus Supplement, dated
February 23, 2007 and Prospectus, dated November 27, 2006.
1. We certify that (a) we are not a disqualified organization, (b) we are
not purchasing such Class A-R Certificate on behalf of a disqualified
organization and (c) we are not an entity that holds such Class A-R Certificate
as nominee to facilitate the clearance and settlement of such securities through
electronic book-entry changes in accounts of participating organizations; for
this purpose the term "disqualified organization" means the United States, any
state or political subdivision thereof, any foreign government, any
international organization, any agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing (except any entity treated as other than an instrumentality of the
foregoing for purposes of Section 168(h)(2)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code")), any organization (other than a cooperative
described in Section 521 of the Code) that is exempt from taxation under the
Code (unless such organization is subject to tax on excess inclusions) and any
organization that is described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code. We
understand that any breach by us of this certification may cause us to be liable
for an excise tax imposed upon transfers to disqualified organizations.
2. We certify that we are not an employee benefit plan subject to Title I
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), a
plan subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code") or a plan or arrangement subject to any provisions under any
federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are
substantively similar to the
K-1
foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, a "Plan"), and are not
directly or indirectly acquiring the Class A-R Certificate for, on behalf of or
with any assets of any such Plan.
3. We certify that (a) we have historically paid our debts as they became
due, (b) we intend, and believe that we will be able, to continue to pay our
debts as they become due in the future, (c) we understand that, as beneficial
owner of the Class A-R Certificate, we may incur tax liabilities in excess of
any cash flows generated by the Class A-R Certificate, (d) we intend to pay any
taxes associated with holding the Class A-R Certificate as they become due and
(e) we will not cause income from the Class A-R Certificate to be attributable
to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (within the meaning of an
applicable income tax treaty) of ours or another U.S. taxpayer.
4. We acknowledge that we will be the beneficial owner of the Class A-R
Certificate and:*/
______ The Class A-R Certificate will be registered in our name.
______ The Class A-R Certificate will be held in the name of our
nominee, ____________________, which is not a disqualified
organization.
5. Unless Chase Mortgage Finance Corporation ("CMFC") has consented to the
transfer to us by executing the form of Consent affixed hereto as Appendix B, we
certify that we are a U.S. person; for this purpose the term "U.S. Person" means
a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation or partnership
(unless, in the case of a partnership, Treasury regulations are adopted that
provide otherwise) created or organized in or under the laws of the United
States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, including an entity
treated as a corporation or partnership for federal income tax purposes, an
estate whose income is subject to Unites States federal income tax regardless of
its source, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise
primary supervision over the administration of such trust, and one or more such
U.S. Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such
trust, (or, to the extent provided in applicable Treasury regulations, certain
trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 which are eligible to elect to be treated
as U.S. Persons). We agree that any breach by us of this certification shall
render the transfer of any interest in the Class A-R Certificate to us
absolutely null and void and shall cause no rights in the Class A-R Certificate
to vest in us.
6. We agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to transfer
any interest in the Class A-R Certificate, we will transfer such interest in the
Class A-R Certificate only (a) to a transferee that (i) is not a disqualified
organization and is not purchasing such interest in the Class A-R Certificate on
behalf of a disqualified organization, (ii) is a U.S. person and (iii) has
delivered to CMFC a letter in the form of this letter (including the affidavit
appended hereto) and, if requested by CMFC, an opinion of counsel (in a form
acceptable to CMFC) that the proposed transfer will not cause the interest in
the Class A-R Certificate to be held by a disqualified organization or a person
who is not a U.S. person or (b) with the written consent of CMFC.
7. We hereby designate JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as our fiduciary to act as
the tax matters person for the Series 2007-S2 REMICs.
Very truly yours,

tax at a rate equal to the highest rate of tax specified in Section
11(b)(1) of the Code, but the tax rate specified in Section

1.860E-1(c)(4)(iii) and 1.860E-1(c)(5) and such transfer will not be a
direct or indirect transfer to a foreign permanent establishment
(within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of a domestic
corporation.
For purposes of this declaration, (i) the gross assets and net assets
of the Transferee do not include any obligation of any related person
(as defined in Treasury regulation section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) or any
other asset if a principal purpose for holding or acquiring the other

satisfy the requirements of Treasury regulation section

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
is hereby acknowledged, we hereby certify, represent and warrant to, and
covenant with, the Depositor that we:
(A) are not an employee benefit plan within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), a plan
subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
