Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class 30-PO and Class 1-CB-R Certificates) are
referred to collectively as the "Regular Certificates" and shall constitute
"regular interests" in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Class 1-30-PO Component and

2-A-1 Component, Class 1-A-2 Component, Class 2-A-2 Component, Class 1-A-3
Component, Class 2-A-3 Component, Class 1-A-4 Component and Class 2-A-4
Component (the "Senior Non-PO Components" and, collectively with the PO
Components, the "Components") shall also constitute "regular interests" in the
Upper-Tier REMIC. The Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests shall constitute the
"regular interests" in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Class X-X Interest shall
constitute the "residual interest" in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Class R-U
Interest shall constitute the "residual interest" in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The
Class 1-CB-R Certificate shall represent ownership of the Class X-X Interest and
the Class R-U Interest. The Certificates and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier

CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS
ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
Section 2.01 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans. (a) The Depositor,
concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, hereby sells, transfers,
assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, without recourse, all the right,
title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Mortgage Loans, including all
interest and principal received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other
than payments of principal and interest due and payable on the Mortgage Loans on
or before the Cut-off Date). The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment and set
over does not and is not intended to result in a creation of an assumption by
the Trustee of any obligation of the Depositor or any other Person in connection
with the Mortgage Loans or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, except
as specifically set forth herein. In addition, the Depositor, concurrently with
the execution and delivery hereof, hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over
and otherwise conveys to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust for the benefit of
the Certificateholders, without recourse, the Depositor's rights to receive any
BPP Mortgage Loan Payment. It is agreed and understood by the parties hereto
that it is not intended that any mortgage loan be included in the Trust that is
a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in any of (i) the New Jersey Home Ownership
Act effective November 27, 2003, (ii) the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act
effective January 1, 2004, (iii) the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices

the Certificateholders, the following documents or instruments with
respect to each Mortgage Loan so assigned:
(i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed by manual or facsimile
signature in the following form: "Pay to the order of Xxxxx Fargo Bank,
N.A., as trustee for the holders of the Banc of America Alternative Loan
Trust 2006-9 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-9, without
recourse," with all necessary intervening endorsements showing a complete
chain of endorsement from the originator to the Trustee (each such
endorsement being sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of
the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that
Mortgage Note);
(ii) except as provided below, the original recorded Mortgage with
evidence of a recording thereon, or if any such Mortgage has not been
returned from the applicable recording office or has been lost, or if such
public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage, a copy of
such Mortgage certified by the Depositor as being a true and correct copy
of the Mortgage;
(iii) subject to the provisos at the end of this paragraph, a duly
executed Assignment of Mortgage to "Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee for
the holders of the Banc of America Alternative Loan Trust 2006-9 Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-9" (which may be included in a
blanket assignment or assignments), together with, except as provided
below, originals of all interim recorded assignments of such mortgage or a
copy of such interim assignment certified by the Depositor as being a true
and complete copy of the original recorded intervening assignments of
Mortgage (each such assignment, when duly and validly completed, to be in
recordable form and sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to
the assignee thereof, under the Mortgage to which the assignment relates);
provided that, if the related Mortgage has not been returned from the
applicable public recording office, such Assignment of Mortgage may
exclude the information to be provided by the recording office; and
provided, further, if the related Mortgage has been recorded in the name
of Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. ("MERS") or its
designee, no Assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee will be
required to be prepared or delivered and instead, the Servicer shall take
all actions as are necessary to cause the Trust to be shown as the owner
of the related Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes of the
system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages
maintained by MERS;
(iv) the originals of all assumption, modification, consolidation or
extension agreements, if any, with evidence of recording thereon, if any;
(v) any of (A) the original or duplicate original mortgagee title
insurance policy and all riders thereto, (B) a title search showing no
lien (other than standard exceptions of the type described in Section 2.04
(viii)) on the Mortgaged Property senior to the lien of the Mortgage or
(C) an opinion of counsel of the type customarily rendered in the
applicable jurisdiction in lieu of a title insurance policy;
(vi) the original of any guarantee executed in connection with the
Mortgage Note;
(vii) for each Mortgage Loan, if any, which is secured by a
residential long-term lease, a copy of the lease with evidence of
recording indicated thereon, or, if the lease is in the process of being
recorded, a photocopy of the lease, certified by an officer of the
respective prior owner of such Mortgage Loan or by the applicable title
insurance company, closing/settlement/escrow agent or company or closing
attorney to be a true and correct copy of the lease transmitted for
recordation;
(viii) the original of any security agreement, chattel mortgage or
equivalent document executed in connection with the Mortgage; and
(ix) for each Mortgage Loan secured by Co-op Shares, the originals
of the following documents or instruments:
(A) The stock certificate;
(B) The stock power executed in blank;
(C) The executed proprietary lease;
(D) The executed recognition agreement;
(E) The executed assignment of recognition agreement, if any;
(F) The executed UCC-1 financing statement with evidence of
recording thereon; and
(G) Executed UCC-3 financing statements or other appropriate
UCC financing statements required by state law, evidencing a
complete and unbroken line from the mortgagee to the Trustee with
evidence of recording thereon (or in a form suitable for
recordation).
provided, however, that on the Closing Date, with respect to item (iii), the
Depositor has delivered to the Trustee a copy of such Assignment of Mortgage in
blank and has caused the Servicer to retain the completed Assignment of Mortgage
for recording as described below, unless such Mortgage has been recorded in the
name of MERS or its designee. In addition, if the Depositor is unable to deliver
or cause the delivery of any original Mortgage Note due to the loss of such
original Mortgage Note, the Depositor may deliver a copy of such Mortgage Note,
together with a lost note affidavit, and shall thereby be deemed to have
satisfied the document delivery requirements of this Section 2.01(b).
If in connection with any Mortgage Loans, the Depositor cannot
deliver (A) the Mortgage, (B) all interim recorded assignments, (C) all
assumption, modification, consolidation or extension agreements, if any, or (D)
the lender's title policy, if any, (together with all riders thereto) satisfying
the requirements of clause (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above, respectively,
concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because such document or
documents have not been returned from the applicable public recording office in
the case of clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, or because the title policy, if
any, has not been delivered to either the Servicer or the Depositor by the
applicable title insurer in the case of clause (v) above, the Depositor shall
promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee, in the case of clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, such
Mortgage, such interim assignment or such assumption, modification,
consolidation or extension agreement, as the case may be, with evidence of
recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording
office, but in no event shall any such delivery of any such documents or
instruments be made later than one year following the Closing Date, unless, in
the case of clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, there has been a continuing delay
at the applicable recording office or, in the case of clause (v), there has been
a continuing delay at the applicable insurer and the Depositor has delivered the
Officer's Certificate to such effect to the Trustee. The Depositor shall forward
or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee (1) from time to time additional
original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan
and (2) any other documents required to be delivered by the Depositor or the
Servicer to the Trustee or the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf. In the event
that the original Mortgage is not delivered and in connection with the payment
in full of the related Mortgage Loan the public recording office requires the
presentation of a "lost instruments affidavit and indemnity" or any equivalent
document, because only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with the
instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance, the Servicer shall prepare, execute
and deliver or cause to be prepared, executed and delivered, on behalf of the
Trust, such a document to the public recording office.
As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and
assignment, and in any event, within 30 days thereafter, the Servicer shall
(except for any Mortgage which has been recorded in the name of MERS or its
designee) (I) cause each Assignment of Mortgage to be in proper form for
recording in the appropriate public office for real property records within 30
days of the Closing Date and (II) at the Depositor's expense, cause to be
delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for real property
records the Assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, with
respect to any Assignment of a Mortgage as to which the Servicer has not
received the information required to prepare such assignment in recordable form,
the Servicer's obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording
shall be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information and in any
event within 30 days after the receipt thereof and, no recording of an
Assignment of Mortgage will be required in a state if either (i) the Depositor
furnishes to the Trustee an unqualified Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable
to the Trustee to the effect that recordation of such assignment is not
necessary under applicable state law to preserve the Trustee's interest in the
related Mortgage Loan against the claim of any subsequent transferee of such
Mortgage Loan or any successor to, or creditor of, the Depositor or the
originator of such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the recordation of an Assignment of
Mortgage in such state is not required by either Rating Agency in order to
obtain the initial ratings on the Certificates on the Closing Date. Set forth on
Exhibit L attached hereto is a list of all states where recordation is required
by either Rating Agency to obtain the initial ratings of the Certificates. The
Trustee may rely and shall be protected in relying upon the information
contained in such Exhibit L.
In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of
the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to
the Trustee, or the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf, will cause the Servicer
to deposit in the Servicer Custodial Account the portion of such payment that is
required to be deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account pursuant to Section
3.08.
Section 2.02 Acceptance by the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.
Subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the Trustee declares that
it, or the Custodian as its agent, will hold the documents referred to in
Section 2.01 and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage
Files, and that it will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust
Estate, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. Upon execution and delivery of this document, the Trustee
shall deliver or cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee
and the Servicer a certification in the form of Exhibit M hereto (the "Initial
Certification") to the effect that, except as may be specified in a list of
exceptions attached thereto, it has received the original Mortgage Note relating
to each of the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
Within 90 days after the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
the Trustee shall review, or cause the Custodian to review, the Mortgage Files
in its possession, and shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the
Servicer a certification in the form of Exhibit N hereto (the "Final
Certification") to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule, except as may be specified in a list of exceptions
attached to such Final Certification, such Mortgage File contains all of the
items required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(b).
If, in the course of such review, the Trustee or the Custodian finds
any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the
requirements of Section 2.01 or is omitted from such Mortgage File, the Trustee
shall promptly so notify the Servicer and the Depositor, or shall cause the
Custodian to promptly so notify the Servicer and the Depositor. In performing
any such review, the Trustee or the Custodian may conclusively rely on the
purported genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon. It is
understood that the scope of the Trustee's or the Custodian's review of the
Mortgage Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents listed in
Section 2.01 have been received and further confirming that any and all
documents delivered pursuant to Section 2.01 appear on their face to have been
executed and relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule based solely upon the review of items (i) and (xi) in the definition of
Mortgage Loan Schedule. Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall have any
responsibility for determining whether any document is valid and binding,
whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable
form, whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements
of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in
any applicable jurisdiction. The Depositor hereby covenants and agrees that it
will promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so
notified of such defect and, if the Depositor does not correct or cure such
defect within such period, the Depositor will either (a) substitute for the
related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be
accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth below or (b)
purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the Repurchase Price for such
Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such a substitution
occur more than two years from the Closing Date; provided, further, that such
substitution or repurchase shall occur within 90 days of when such defect was
discovered if such defect will cause the Mortgage Loan not to be a "qualified
mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.
With respect to each Substitute Mortgage Loan the Depositor shall
deliver to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage, the related Assignment of Mortgage (except for any Mortgage
which has been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee), and such other
documents and agreements as are otherwise required by Section 2.01, with the
Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.01. No
substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the
Determination Date for such month. Monthly Payments due with respect to any such
Substitute Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution shall not be part of the
Trust Estate and will be retained by the Depositor. For the month of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the Monthly
Payment due for such month on any Defective Mortgage Loan for which the
Depositor has substituted a Substitute Mortgage Loan.
The Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit
of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of each Mortgage Loan that has
become a Defective Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans and the Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule
to the Trustee and the Custodian. Upon such substitution, each Substitute
Mortgage Loan shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects,
and the Depositor shall be deemed to have made to the Trustee with respect to
such Substitute Mortgage Loan, as of the date of substitution, the
representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 2.04. Upon any such
substitution and the deposit to the Servicer Custodial Account of any required
Substitution Adjustment Amount (as described in the next paragraph) and receipt
of a Request for Release, the Trustee shall release, or shall direct the
Custodian to release, the Mortgage File relating to such Defective Mortgage Loan
to the Depositor and shall execute and deliver at the Depositor's direction such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Depositor, in each case
without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title in the Depositor, or its
designee, to the Trustee's interest in any Defective Mortgage Loan substituted
for pursuant to this Section 2.02.
For any month in which the Depositor substitutes one or more
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Defective Mortgage Loans, the amount
(if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Substitute
Mortgage Loans in a Loan Group as of the date of substitution is less than the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Defective Mortgage Loans in such
Loan Group (after application of the principal portion of the Monthly Payments
due in the month of substitution) (the "Substitution Adjustment Amount" for such
Loan Group) plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances
with respect to such Defective Mortgage Loans shall be deposited into the
Servicer Custodial Account by the Depositor on or before the Remittance Date for
the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during which
the related Mortgage Loan is required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.
The Trustee shall retain or shall cause the Custodian to retain
possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to
the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Servicer shall promptly deliver
to the Trustee, upon the execution or, in the case of documents requiring
recording, receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or instruments
constituting the Mortgage File as come into the Servicer's possession from time
to time.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Depositor to
substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the
requirements of Section 2.01 shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such
defect available to the Trustee and any Certificateholder against the Depositor.
The Trustee or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be
under no duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such
documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are
genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they
are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine
whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in
Section 2.01(b)(iv), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix). In connection with making the
certifications required hereunder, to the extent a title search or opinion of
counsel has been provided in lieu of a title policy for any Mortgage Loan, the
Trustee shall only be responsible for confirming that a title search or opinion
of counsel has been provided for such Mortgage Loan and shall not be deemed to
have certified that the content of such title search or opinion of counsel is
sufficient to meet the requirements of Section 2.01(b)(v).
Section 2.03 Representations and Warranties of the Servicer. The
Servicer hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the
Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date:

which, either individually or in the aggregate, would result in any
material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition,
properties or assets of the Servicer, or in any material impairment of the
right or ability of the Servicer to carry on its business substantially as
now conducted or which would draw into question the validity of this
Agreement or the Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in
connection with the obligations of the Servicer contemplated herein, or
which would materially impair the ability of the Servicer to perform under
the terms of this Agreement.
(v) The Servicer has fully furnished, and shall continue to fully

Primary Insurance Policy, if any, the title insurer, to the extent
required by the related policy, and is reflected on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been
executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except
in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the insurer under
the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, the title insurer, to the extent
required by the policy, and which assumption agreement has been delivered
to the Trustee.
(iv) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right
of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and
the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or
subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense,
including the defense of usury and no such right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.
(v) All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an
insurer generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions
against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards
as are customary in the area the Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant
to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of Customary
Servicing Procedures and this Agreement. All such insurance policies
contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the originator of the Mortgage
Loan, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon
have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a
flood hazard map or flood insurance rate map issued by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such
flood insurance has been made available), a flood insurance policy meeting
the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder
to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on
the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to
maintain such insurance at Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.
(vi) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law
including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate
settlement procedures, consumer credit protections, all applicable
predatory and abusive lending laws, equal credit opportunity or disclosure
laws applicable to the origination and servicing of Mortgage Loan have
been complied with.
(vii) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or
rescinded, in whole or in part (other than as to Principal Prepayments in
full which may have been received prior to the Closing Date), and the
Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in
whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect
any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release.
(viii) The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first lien
on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged
Property subject only to (A) the lien of current real property taxes and
assessments not yet due and payable, (B) covenants, conditions and
restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public
record as of the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage lending
institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and
which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged
Property, (C) if the Mortgaged Property consists of Co-op Shares, any lien
for amounts due to the cooperative housing corporation for unpaid
assessments or charges or any lien of any assignment of rents or
maintenance expenses secured by the real property owned by the cooperative
housing corporation, and (D) other matters to which like properties are
commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of
the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use,
enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any
security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and
delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a
valid, existing and enforceable first 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.
(ix) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each
is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof,
enforceable in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be
limited by (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership,
moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement
of the rights of creditors and (B) general principles of equity, whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(x) All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal
capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage
have been duly and properly executed by such parties.
(xi) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to
or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the
Mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder and any and all
requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and
as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with.
All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage
Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor
is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee
pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.
(xii) To the best of the Depositor's knowledge, all parties which
have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee,
assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they
held and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any and all
applicable "doing business" and licensing requirements of the laws of the
state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located.
(xiii) (A) The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title
insurance policy, acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, issued by a
title insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do
business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located,
insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (viii)(A) and (B) 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, (B) a
title search has been done showing no lien (other than the exceptions
contained in (viii)(A) and (B) above) on the related Mortgaged Property
senior to the lien of the Mortgage or (C) in the case of any Mortgage Loan
secured by a Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such
policies are generally not available, an opinion of counsel of the type
customarily rendered in such jurisdiction in lieu of title insurance is
instead received. For each Mortgage Loan covered by a title insurance
policy (x) the Depositor is the sole insured of such lender's title
insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is in full
force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) no
claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and the
Depositor has not done, by act or omission, anything which would impair
the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy.
(xiv) There is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any
grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or
event of acceleration, and the Seller has not waived any default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration.
(xv) As of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, there had
been no mechanics' or similar liens or claims filed for work, labor or
material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to
such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be
liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related
Mortgage.
(xvi) All improvements which were considered in determining the
Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the
boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and
no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged
Property.
(xvii) The Mortgage Loan was originated by a savings and loan
association, savings bank, commercial bank, credit union, insurance
company, or similar institution which is supervised and examined by a
federal or state authority, or by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of
Housing and Urban Development pursuant to sections 203 and 211 of the
National Housing Act.
(xviii) Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more
than sixty days after the proceeds of the Mortgaged Loan were disbursed.
The Mortgage Loans are 20 to 30-year fixed rate mortgage loans having an
original term to maturity of not more than 30 years, with interest payable
in arrears on the first day of the month. Each Mortgage Note requires a
monthly payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the original
principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at
the related Mortgage Interest Rate. The Mortgage Note does not permit
negative amortization.
(xix) There is no proceeding pending or, to the Depositor's
knowledge, threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the
Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is in good repair and is
undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood,
tornado or other casualty, so as to affect adversely the value of the
Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which
the premises were intended.
(xx) The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the
holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property
of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including (A) in the
case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and
(B) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. To the best of the Depositor's
knowledge, following the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or
foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection
under applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other exemption
or right available to the Mortgagor or any other person which would
interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's
sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage.
(xxi) Other than any Borrowers Protection Plan(R) addendum to the
Mortgage Note of a BPP Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note and Mortgage are
on forms acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac.
(xxii) The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any
collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged
Property and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or
chattel mortgage referred to in (viii) above.
(xxiii) Each appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property, is in a
form acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and such appraisal complies
with the requirements of FIRREA, and was made and signed, prior to the
approval of the Mortgage Loan application, by a Qualified Appraiser.
(xxiv) In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a
trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been
properly designated and currently so serves, and no fees or expenses are
or will become payable by the Trustee to the trustee under the deed of
trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the
Mortgagor.
(xxv) No Mortgage Loan is a graduated payment mortgage loan, no
Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation or other contingent interest
feature, and no Mortgage Loan contains any "buy-down" feature.
(xxvi) The Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required
by applicable law with respect to the making of mortgage loans of the same
type as the Mortgage Loan and rescission materials required by applicable
law if the Mortgage Loan is a Refinance Mortgage Loan.
(xxvii) Each Primary Insurance Policy to which any Mortgage Loan is
subject will be issued by an insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac, which insures that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of the
portion of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property required by
Xxxxxx Mae. All provisions of such Primary Insurance Policy have been and
are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all
premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such
Primary Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain
such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith
at least until Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to
less than 80%. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan does not
include any such insurance premium.
(xxviii) To the best of the Depositor's knowledge as of the date of
origination of the Mortgage Loan, (A) the Mortgaged Property is lawfully
occupied under applicable law, (B) all inspections, licenses and
certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied
portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and
occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of
occupancy, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities and
(C) no improvement located on or part of the Mortgaged Property is in
violation of any zoning law or regulation.
(xxix) The Assignment of Mortgage (except with respect to any
Mortgage that has been recorded in the name of MERS or its designee) is in
recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.
(xxx) All payments required to be made prior to the Cut-off Date for
such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and
no Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent more than once in
the twelve month period immediately prior to the Cut-off Date.
(xxxi) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Depositor or Servicer
is in possession of a complete Mortgage File except for the documents
which have been delivered to the Trustee or which have been submitted for
recording and not yet returned.
(xxxii) Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment
contemplated herein, the Depositor was the sole owner and holder of the
Mortgage Loans. The Mortgage Loans were not assigned or pledged by the
Depositor and the Depositor had good and marketable title thereto, and the
Depositor had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loans to the
Trustee free and clear of any encumbrance, participation interest, lien,
equity, pledge, claim or security interest and had full right and
authority subject to no interest or participation in, or agreement with
any other party to sell or otherwise transfer the Mortgage Loans.
(xxxiii) Any future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date have
been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the
Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a
single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage
securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having
first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the
policy insuring the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other title
evidence acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac. The consolidated
principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the
Mortgage Loan.
(xxxiv) The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the
applicable Underwriting Guidelines in effect at the time of origination
with exceptions thereto exercised in a reasonable manner.
(xxxv) If the Mortgage Loan is secured by a long-term residential
lease, (1) the lessor under the lease holds a fee simple interest in the
land; (2) the terms of such lease expressly permit the mortgaging of the
leasehold estate, the assignment of the lease without the lessor's consent
and the acquisition by the holder of the Mortgage of the rights of the
lessee upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or provide
the holder of the Mortgage with substantially similar protections; (3) the
terms of such lease do not (a) allow the termination thereof upon the
lessee's default without the holder of the Mortgage being entitled to
receive written notice of, and opportunity to cure, such default, (b)
allow the termination of the lease in the event of damage or destruction
as long as the Mortgage is in existence, (c) prohibit the holder of the
Mortgage from being insured (or receiving proceeds of insurance) under the
hazard insurance policy or policies relating to the Mortgaged Property or
(d) permit any increase in the rent other than pre-established increases
set forth in the lease; (4) the original term of such lease is not less
than 15 years; (5) the term of such lease does not terminate earlier than
five years after the maturity date of the Mortgage Note; and (6) the
Mortgaged Property is located in a jurisdiction in which the use of
leasehold estates in transferring ownership in residential properties is a
widely accepted practice.
(xxxvi) No more than 0.51% and 0.86% (by Cut-off Date Principal
Balance) of the Group 1 and Group 2 Mortgage Loans, respectively, are
secured by long-term residential leases.
(xxxvii) The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified
in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a parcel of real property
with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to
four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit, or an individual
unit in a planned unit development, or, in the case of Mortgage Loans
secured by Co-op Shares, leases or occupancy agreements; provided,
however, that any condominium project or planned unit development
generally conforms with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines regarding
such dwellings, and no residence or dwelling is a mobile home or a
manufactured dwelling.
(xxxviii) The Depositor used no adverse selection procedures in
selecting the Mortgage Loan for inclusion in the Trust Estate.
(xxxix) Each Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.
(xl) With respect to each Mortgage where a lost note affidavit has
been delivered to the Trustee in place of the related Mortgage Note, the
related Mortgage Note is no longer in existence.
(xli) No Mortgage Loan is a "high cost" loan as defined under any
federal, state or local law applicable to such Mortgage Loan at the time
of its origination.
(xlii) No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as
applicable (as such terms are defined in the then-current S&P's LEVELS(R)
Glossary which is now Version 5.7, 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.
(xliii) No Mortgage Loan is subject to the provisions of the Home
Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994, as amended.
(xliv) No Group 1 Mortgage Loan is a "high cost home," "covered,"
"high risk home" or "predatory" loan under any applicable state, federal
or local law (or a similarly classified loan using different terminology
under a law imposing heightened regulatory scrutiny or additional legal
liability for residential mortgage loans having high interest rates,
points and/or fees).
(xlv) With respect to each Group 1 Mortgage Loan, no borrower
obtained a prepaid single-premium credit life, credit disability, credit
unemployment or credit property insurance policy in connection with the
origination of the Mortgage Loan.
(xlvi) No Group 1 Mortgage Loan provides for the payment of a
prepayment premium.
(xlvii) No Group 1 Mortgage Loan originated on or after August 1,
2004 requires the borrower to submit to arbitration to resolve any dispute
arising out of or relating in any way to the mortgage loan transaction.
(xlviii) As of the date of origination, no Group 1 Mortgage Loan had
a principal balance in excess of Xxxxxxx Mac's dollar amount limits for
conforming one- to four-family mortgage loans.
(xlix) With respect to each Group 1 Mortgage Loan, the borrower was
offered mortgage loan products for which the borrower qualified.
(l) The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for
each Group 1 Mortgage Loan employs objective mathematical principles which
relate the borrower's income, assets and liabilities to the proposed
payment and such underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of
the borrower's equity in the collateral as the principal determining
factor in approving such credit extension. Such underwriting methodology
confirmed that at the time of origination (application/approval) the
borrower had the reasonable ability to make timely payments on the
Mortgage Loan.
(li) No borrower under a Group 1 Mortgage Loan was charged "points
and fees" in an amount greater than (a) $1,000 or (b) 5% of the Cut-off
Date Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, whichever is greater. For
purposes of this representation, "points and fees" (x) include
origination, underwriting, broker and finder's fees and charges that the
lender imposed as a condition of making the Mortgage Loan, whether they
are paid to the lender or a third party; and (y) exclude bona fide
discount points, fees paid for actual services rendered in connection with
the origination of the mortgage (such as attorneys' fees, notaries fees
and fees paid for property appraisals, credit reports, surveys, title
examinations and extracts, flood and tax certifications, and home
inspections); the cost of mortgage insurance or credit-risk price
adjustments; the costs of title, hazard, and flood insurance policies;
state and local transfer taxes or fees; escrow deposits for the future
payment of taxes and insurance premiums; and other miscellaneous fees and
charges that, in total, do not exceed 0.25 percent of the loan amount.
(lii) All points, fees and charges (including finance charges),
whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to be collected in
connection with the origination and servicing of each Group 1 Mortgage
Loan, have been disclosed in writing to the borrower in accordance with
applicable state and federal law and regulation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no representations or warranties are
made by the Depositor as to the environmental condition of any Mortgaged
Property; the absence, presence or effect of hazardous wastes or hazardous
substances on any Mortgaged Property; any casualty resulting from the presence
or effect of hazardous wastes or hazardous substances on, near or emanating from
any Mortgaged Property; the impact on Certificateholders of any environmental
condition or presence of any hazardous substance on or near any Mortgaged
Property; or the compliance of any Mortgaged Property with any environmental
laws, nor is any agent, Person or entity otherwise affiliated with the Depositor
authorized or able to make any such representation, warranty or assumption of
liability relative to any Mortgaged Property. In addition, no representations or
warranties are made by the Depositor with respect to the absence or effect of
fraud in the origination of any Mortgage Loan.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage
Files to the Trustee or the Custodian and shall inure to the benefit of the
Trustee, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment.
Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or
the Custodian that any of the representations and warranties set forth in this
Section 2.04 is not accurate (referred to herein as a "breach") and that such
breach (in the case of the representations and warranties set forth in clauses
(i) through (xlii) of this Section 2.04) materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties
(any Custodian being so obligated under a custodial agreement); provided that
any such breach that causes the Mortgage Loan not to be a "qualified mortgage"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code shall be deemed to
materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders. Within
90 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach, the
Depositor shall cure such breach in all material respects or shall either (i)
repurchase the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in respect thereof from
the Trustee at a price equal to the Repurchase Price or (ii) if within two years
of the Closing Date, substitute for such Mortgage Loan in the manner described
in Section 2.02; provided that if the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be
other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code,
any such repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date the
breach was discovered. In addition to the foregoing, if a breach of the
representation set forth in clause (vi) or (xlii) of this Section 2.04 occurs as
a result of a violation of an applicable predatory or abusive lending law, the
Depositor shall reimburse the Trust for all costs or damages incurred by the
Trust as a result of the violation of such law (such amount, the "Reimbursement
Amount"). The Repurchase Price of any repurchase described in this paragraph,
the Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and any Reimbursement Amount shall
be deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account. It is understood and agreed
that, except with respect to the second preceding sentence, the obligation of
the Depositor to repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged
Property as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to
Certificateholders, or to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders, and such
obligation shall survive until termination of the Trust hereunder.
Section 2.05 Designation of Interests in the REMICs. The Depositor
hereby designates the Classes of Senior Certificates (other than the Class A-1,

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01 Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans. For and on behalf
of the Certificateholders, the Servicer shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Customary
Servicing Procedures, applicable law and the terms of the Mortgage Notes and
Mortgages. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Servicer
shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as
provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it
may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and
administration including, but not limited to, the power and authority, subject
to the terms hereof, (a) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other
instruments and documents, (b) to consent, with respect to the Mortgage Loans it
services, to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage
Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement),
(c) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds relating to
the Mortgage Loans it services, and (d) to effectuate foreclosure or other
conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan
it services. The Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust
in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own
portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan and
shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of
any Mortgage Loan, except as provided pursuant to Section 3.21. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, in its own name or in the name of
any Subservicer or the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and
empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Servicer or any
Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its reasonable
judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments or agreements of
satisfaction, cancellation, default, assumption, modification, discharge,
partial or full release, and all other comparable instruments and agreements,
with respect to the Mortgage Loans it services, and with respect to the related
Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. To the
extent that the Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such documents
pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver to
the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery
by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer
to service and administer the Mortgage Loans it services. Upon receipt of such
documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee, upon the direction of the Servicer,
shall promptly execute such documents and deliver them to the Servicer.
Alternatively, upon the request of the Servicer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Servicer any additional powers of attorney and other documents
prepared by the Servicer that are reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable
the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this
Agreement.
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the
Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the
purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties relating to the Mortgage Loans it services, which Servicing Advances
shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the
Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11.
The costs incurred by the Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of
taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums
shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the
Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balances of the related
Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
The relationship of the Servicer (and of any successor to the
Servicer as servicer under this Agreement) to the Trustee under this Agreement
is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that
of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
Section 3.02 Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of
Servicer. (a) The Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan
it services by a Subservicer pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement; provided,
however, that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related
Subservicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loan in a
manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder.
Notwithstanding the provisions of any Subservicing Agreement, any of the
provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the
Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer
or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Depositor,
the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of
the Mortgage Loans it services in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such
Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the
Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if
the Servicer alone were servicing and administering those Mortgage Loans. All
actions of each Subservicer performed pursuant to the related Subservicing
Agreement shall be performed as agent of the Servicer with the same force and
effect as if performed directly by the Servicer.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to
have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the
Mortgage Loans it services that are received by a Subservicer regardless of
whether such payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Servicer.
(c) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for
the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall use its best
reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of each Subservicer engaged by the
Servicer under the related Subservicing Agreement, to the extent that the
non-performance of any such obligation would have a material and adverse effect
on a Mortgage Loan. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims, termination of Subservicing Agreements and the pursuit of
other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an
extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment,
would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer
shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be
reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such
enforcement to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in
respect of the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs,
expenses or attorneys fees against the party against whom such enforcement is
directed.
(d) Any Subservicing Agreement entered into by the Servicer shall
provide that it may be assumed or terminated by the Trustee, if the Trustee has
assumed the duties of the Servicer, or any successor Servicer, at the Trustee's
or successor Servicer's option, as applicable, without cost or obligation to the
assuming or terminating party or the Trust Estate, upon the assumption by such
party of the obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Servicer
engages any affiliate or third party vendor, including any Subservicer, in
connection with the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, the
Servicer shall immediately notify the Depositor in writing of such engagement.
To the extent the Depositor notifies the Servicer and the Trustee that it has
determined that any such affiliate, third party vendor or Subservicer is a
Servicing Function Participant, the Servicer shall cause such Servicing Function
Participant to prepare a separate assessment and attestation report, as
contemplated by Section 3.19 of this Agreement and deliver such report to the
Trustee as set forth in Section 3.22 of this Agreement. In addition, to the
extent the Depositor notifies the Servicer and the Trustee that it has
determined that any such Servicing Function Participant would be a "servicer"
within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and meets the criteria in Item
1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB (an "Additional Servicer"), the
Servicer shall cause such Additional Servicer to prepare a separate compliance
statement as contemplated by Section 3.18 of this Agreement and deliver such
statement to the Trustee as set forth in Section 3.22 of this Agreement. In
addition, if the Depositor determines any such Servicing Function Participant
would be a "servicer" within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB, the
Servicer shall cause such Servicing Function Participant to provide the
Depositor and the Trustee the information required by Section 1108(b) and
1108(c) of Regulation AB within two Business Days following such engagement. To
the extent the Servicer terminates any such Servicing Function Participant that
the Depositor has determined is a "servicer" within the meaning of Item 1101 of
Regulation AB, the Servicer shall provide the Depositor and the Trustee the
information required to enable the Trustee to accurately and timely report such
event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K (if the Trust's Exchange Act reporting
requirements have not been suspended pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act as set forth in 3.22(g)).
Section 3.03 Fidelity Bond; 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 on all officers,
employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to
handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans it
services. These policies must insure the Servicer against losses resulting from
dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by the Servicer's personnel, any
employees of outside firms that provide data processing services for the
Servicer, and temporary contract employees or student interns. Such fidelity
bond shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection
with the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained
payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this
Section 3.03 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. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance
policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required by Xxxxxx
Xxx in the Xxxxxx Mae Servicing Guide or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Xxx
Xxxxxxx' & Servicers' Guide, as amended or restated from time to time, or in an
amount as may be permitted to the Servicer by express waiver of Xxxxxx Xxx or
Xxxxxxx Mac.
Section 3.04 Access to Certain Documentation. The Servicer shall
provide to the OCC, the OTS, the FDIC and to comparable regulatory authorities
supervising Holders of Certificates and the examiners and supervisory agents of
the OCC, the OTS, the FDIC and such other authorities, access to the
documentation required by applicable regulations of the OCC, the OTS, the FDIC
and such other authorities with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Such access shall
be afforded upon reasonable and prior written request and during normal business
hours at the offices designated by the Servicer; provided that the Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder for actual
expenses incurred by the Servicer in providing such reports and access. Nothing
in this Section 3.04 shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to observe any
applicable law and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in
this Section 3.04 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach
of this Section 3.04.
Section 3.05 Maintenance of Primary Insurance Policy; Claims;
Collections of BPP Mortgage Loan Payments. (a) With respect to each Mortgage
Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio in excess of 80% or such other Loan-to-Value
Ratio as may be required by law that was originated with a Primary Insurance
Policy, the Servicer shall, without any cost to the Trust Estate, maintain or
cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and effect a Primary Insurance
Policy insuring that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of a percentage in
conformity with Xxxxxx Mae requirements. The Servicer shall pay or shall cause
the Mortgagor to pay the premium thereon on a timely basis, at least until the
Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80% or such other
Loan-to-Value Ratio as may be required by law. If such Primary Insurance Policy
is terminated, the Servicer shall obtain from another insurer a comparable
replacement policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of
such terminated Primary Insurance Policy. If the insurer shall cease to be an
insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, the Servicer shall notify the
Trustee in writing, it being understood that the Servicer shall not have any
responsibility or liability for any failure to recover under the Primary
Insurance Policy for such reason. If the Servicer determines that recoveries
under the Primary Insurance Policy are jeopardized by the financial condition of
the insurer, the Servicer shall obtain from another insurer which meets the
requirements of this Section 3.05 a replacement insurance policy. The Servicer
shall not take any action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable
Primary Insurance Policy of any loss that, but for the actions of the Servicer,
would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or
substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section
3.13, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary
Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in
accordance with the terms of such Primary Insurance Policy and shall take all
actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation
of coverage under such Primary Insurance Policy. If such Primary Insurance
Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of
liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Insurance Policy as
provided above.
In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees
to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policy in
a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Insurance Policy
and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to permit
recovery under any Primary Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage
Loan. Pursuant to Section 3.09(a), any amounts collected by the Servicer under
any Primary Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the related Escrow Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.09(b).
The Servicer will comply with all provisions of applicable state and
federal law relating to the cancellation of, or collection of premiums with
respect to, Primary Mortgage Insurance, including, but not limited to, the
provisions of the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, and all regulations
promulgated thereunder, as amended from time to time.
(b) The Servicer shall take all actions necessary to collect, on
behalf of the Trust, any BPP Mortgage Loan Payments required to be made to the
Trust pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
Section 3.06 Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of
the Servicer. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the
obligations of the Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform,
or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Servicer
hereunder and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to exercise the
related rights of the Servicer hereunder; provided that the Servicer shall not
be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by
the Depositor or its designee. Neither the Trustee nor the Depositor shall have
any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Servicer
nor shall the Trustee or the Depositor be obligated to supervise the performance
of the Servicer hereunder or otherwise.
Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer
in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the
Servicer alone, and the Trustee and Certificateholders shall not be deemed
parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or
liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set forth in Section 3.07.
The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Subservicer,
irrespective of whether the Servicer's compensation pursuant to this Agreement
is sufficient to pay such fees.
Section 3.07 Trustee to Act as Servicer. If the Servicer shall for
any reason no longer be the Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event
of Default), the Trustee shall within 90 days of such time, assume, if it so
elects, or shall appoint a successor Servicer to assume, all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the
Trustee shall not be (a) liable for losses of the Servicer pursuant to Section
3.12 or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer hereunder, (b)
obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law
or (c) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of the Servicer
hereunder). Any such assumption shall be subject to Sections 7.02 and 8.05. If
the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer (including by reason
of any Event of Default), the Trustee or the successor Servicer may elect to
succeed to any rights and obligations of the Servicer under each Subservicing
Agreement or may terminate each Subservicing Agreement. If it has elected to
assume the Subservicing Agreement, the Trustee or the successor Servicer shall
be deemed to have assumed all of the Servicer's interest therein and to have
replaced the Servicer as a party to any Subservicing Agreement entered into by
the Servicer as contemplated by Section 3.02 to the same extent as if the
Subservicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party except that the
Servicer shall not be relieved of any liability or obligations under any such
Subservicing Agreement.
The Servicer that is no longer the Servicer hereunder shall, upon
request of the Trustee, but at the expense of such predecessor Servicer, deliver
to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Subservicing
Agreement or substitute servicing agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being
serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected or held by it and
otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of
such substitute Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party. The Trustee shall
be entitled to be reimbursed from the predecessor Servicer (or the Trust if the
predecessor Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all
Servicing Transfer Costs.
Section 3.08 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Servicer
Custodial Account; and Certificate Account. (a) Continuously from the date
hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full,
the Servicer will proceed diligently, in accordance with this Agreement, to
collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans it services when the
same shall become due and payable. Further, the Servicer will in accordance with
all applicable law and Customary Servicing Procedures ascertain and estimate
taxes, assessments, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance
premiums and all other charges with respect to the Mortgage Loans it services
that, as provided in any Mortgage, will become due and payable to the end that
the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such
charges as and when they become due and payable. Consistent with the foregoing,
the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or any
prepayment charge or penalty interest in connection with the prepayment of a
Mortgage Loan it services and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a
Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 120 days; provided, however, that
the Servicer cannot extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan past the date
on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the
Cut-off Date. In the event of any such arrangement, the Servicer shall make
Periodic Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions
of Section 3.20 during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization
schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such
arrangements. The Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in
litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage,
Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with
respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing
the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment
is required is prohibited by applicable law.
(b) The Servicer shall establish and maintain the Servicer Custodial
Account. The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Servicer
Custodial Account, all on a daily basis within one Business Day of receipt,
except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments and
collections remitted by Subservicers or received by the Servicer in respect of
the Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of
principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date)
and the following amounts required to be deposited hereunder with respect to the
Mortgage Loans it services:
(i) all payments on account of principal of the Mortgage Loans,
including Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, net
of the Servicing Fee;
(iii) (A) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, other
than Insurance Proceeds to be (1) applied to the restoration or repair of
the Mortgaged Property, (2) released to the Mortgagor in accordance with
Customary Servicing Procedures or (3) required to be deposited to an
Escrow Account pursuant to Section 3.09(a), and other than any Excess
Proceeds and (B) any Insurance Proceeds released from an Escrow Account
pursuant to Section 3.09(b)(iv);
(iv) any amount required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.08(d) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments
with respect to the Servicer Custodial Account;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.14;
(vi) all Repurchase Prices, all Substitution Adjustment Amounts and
all Reimbursement Amounts, to the extent received by the Servicer;
(vii) Periodic Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section
3.20 and any Compensating Interest;
(viii) any Recoveries; and
(ix) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.
The foregoing requirements for deposits to the Servicer Custodial
Account by the Servicer shall be exclusive it being understood and agreed that,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Ancillary Income need not be
deposited by the Servicer. If the Servicer shall deposit in the Servicer
Custodial Account any amount not required to be deposited, it may at any time
withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Servicer Custodial Account to
withdraw such amount from the Servicer Custodial Account, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding. The Servicer Custodial Account may contain
funds that belong to one or more trust funds created for mortgage pass-through
certificates of other series and may contain other funds respecting payments on
mortgage loans belonging to the Servicer or serviced by the Servicer on behalf
of others; provided that such commingling of funds shall not be permitted at any
time during which Fitch's senior long-term unsecured debt rating of Bank of
America is below "A." Notwithstanding such commingling of funds, the Servicer
shall keep records that accurately reflect the funds on deposit in the Servicer
Custodial Account that have been identified by it as being attributable to the
Mortgage Loans it services. The Servicer shall maintain adequate records with
respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section 3.08. All funds
required to be deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account shall be held in
trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section
3.11.
(c) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Certificate Account, which shall be deemed to consist of
three sub-accounts. The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the
Certificate Account and retain therein the following:
(i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(viii);
(ii) any amount paid by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.08(d) in
connection with any losses on Permitted Investments with respect to the
Certificate Account; and
(iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be
deposited in the Certificate Account.
If the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted,
it may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw such amount from the
Certificate Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such
direction may be accomplished by delivering an Officer's Certificate to the
Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Certificate
Account. All funds required to be deposited in the Certificate Account shall be
held by the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in
accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.11. In
no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Certificate
Account at the direction of the Servicer.
(d) Each institution at which the Servicer Custodial Account or the
Certificate Account is maintained shall invest the funds therein as directed in
writing by the Servicer, in the case of the Servicer Custodial Account, or the
Trustee, in the case of the Certificate Account, in Permitted Investments, which
shall mature not later than (i) in the case of the Servicer Custodial Account,
the Business Day next preceding the related Remittance Date (except that if such
Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such
account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such
Remittance Date) and (ii) in the case of the Certificate Account, the Business
Day next preceding the Distribution Date (except that if such Permitted
Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such account, then
such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Date)
and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All
such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders. All Servicer Custodial Account Reinvestment
Income shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as part of its Servicing
Compensation and shall be retained by it monthly as provided herein. All income
or gain (net of any losses) realized from any such investment of funds on
deposit in the Certificate Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee as
additional compensation and shall be retained by it monthly as provided herein.
The amount of any losses realized in the Servicer Custodial Account or the
Certificate Account incurred in any such account in respect of any such
investments shall promptly be deposited by the Servicer in the Servicer
Custodial Account or by the Trustee in the Certificate Account, as applicable.
(e) The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee of any proposed
change of the location of the Servicer Custodial Account maintained by the
Servicer not later than 30 days and not more than 45 days prior to any change
thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the Servicer, each Rating Agency and
the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Certificate Account
not later than 30 days after and not more than 45 days prior to any change
thereof. The creation of the Servicer Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto. A copy of such
certification shall be furnished to the Trustee.
(f) The Trustee shall designate the Upper-Tier Certificate
Sub-Account as a sub-account of the Certificate Account. On each Distribution
Date (other than the Final Distribution Date, if such Final Distribution Date is
in connection with a purchase of the assets of the Trust Estate by the
Depositor), the Trustee shall, from funds available on deposit in the
Certificate Account, be deemed to deposit into the Upper-Tier Certificate
Sub-Account, the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount.
Section 3.09 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Escrow Accounts. (a) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not
violative of current law, the Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow
Payments in trust separate and apart from any of its own funds and general
assets and for such purpose shall establish and maintain one or more escrow
accounts (collectively, the "Escrow Account"), titled "Bank of America, National
Association, in trust for registered holders of Banc of America Alternative Loan
Trust 2006-9 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-9 and various
Mortgagors." The Escrow Account shall be established with a commercial bank, a
savings bank or a savings and loan association that meets the guidelines set
forth by Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac as an eligible institution for escrow
accounts and which is a member of the Automated Clearing House. In any case, the
Escrow Account shall be insured by the FDIC to the fullest extent permitted by
law. The Servicer shall deposit in the appropriate Escrow Account on a daily
basis, and retain therein: (i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the
Mortgage Loans, (ii) all amounts representing proceeds of any hazard insurance
policy which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any related
Mortgaged Property and (iii) all amounts representing proceeds of any Primary
Insurance Policy. Nothing herein shall require the Servicer to compel a
Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law.
(b) Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may
be made by the Servicer only (i) to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments,
mortgage insurance premiums, fire and hazard insurance premiums, condominium or
PUD association dues, or comparable items constituting Escrow Payments for the
related Mortgage, (ii) to reimburse the Servicer out of related Escrow Payments
made with respect to a Mortgage Loan for any Servicing Advance made by the
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09(c) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, (iii)
to refund to any Mortgagor any sums determined to be overages, (iv) for transfer
to the Servicer Custodial Account upon default of a Mortgagor or in accordance
with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and if permitted by applicable law,
(v) for application to restore or repair the Mortgaged Property, (vi) to pay to
the Mortgagor, to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds
deposited in the Escrow Account, (vii) to pay to itself any interest earned on
funds deposited in the Escrow Account (and not required to be paid to the
Mortgagor), (viii) to the extent permitted under the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and applicable law, to pay late fees with respect to any Monthly
Payment which is received after the applicable grace period, (ix) to withdraw
suspense payments that are deposited into the Escrow Account, (x) to withdraw
any amounts inadvertently deposited in the Escrow Account or (xi) to clear and
terminate the Escrow Account upon the termination of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 10.01. Any Escrow Account shall not be a part of the
Trust Estate.
(c) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain
accurate records reflecting the status of taxes, assessments and other charges
which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of
Primary Insurance Policy premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage. The
Servicer shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such
charges (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to
the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for
securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the
Mortgagor in the Escrow Account, if any, which shall have been estimated and
accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed
under the terms of the Mortgage. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide
for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are
made by the Mortgagor. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely
payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills
irrespective of each Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or
the making of the Escrow Payments. The Servicer shall advance any such payments
that are not timely paid, but the Servicer shall be required so to advance only
to the extent that such Servicing Advances, in the good faith judgment of the
Servicer, will be recoverable by the Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds,
Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.
Section 3.10 Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall afford the Trustee reasonable
access to all records and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans and all
accounts, insurance information and other matters relating to this Agreement,
such access being afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and
during normal business hours at the office designated by the Servicer.
Section 3.11 Permitted Withdrawals from the Servicer Custodial
Account and Certificate Account. (a) The Servicer may from time to time make
withdrawals from the Servicer Custodial Account, for the following purposes:
(i) to pay to the Servicer (to the extent not previously retained),
the Servicing Compensation to which it is entitled pursuant to Section
3.17;
(ii) to reimburse the Servicer for unreimbursed Advances made by it,
such right of reimbursement pursuant to this clause (ii) being limited to
amounts received on the Mortgage Loan(s) (including amounts received in
respect of BPP Mortgage Loan Payments for such Mortgage Loan) in respect
of which any such Advance was made;
(iii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance
previously made, such right of reimbursement pursuant to this clause (iii)
being limited to amounts received on the Mortgage Loans in the same Loan
Group as the Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which such Nonrecoverable
Advance was made;
(iv) to reimburse the Servicer for Insured Expenses from the related
Insurance Proceeds;
(v) to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or
REO Property that has been purchased pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.04, all
amounts received thereon after the date of such purchase;
(vi) to reimburse the Servicer or the Depositor for expenses
incurred by any of them and reimbursable pursuant to Section 7.03;
(vii) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Servicer Custodial
Account and not required to be deposited therein;
(viii) on or prior to the Remittance Date, to withdraw an amount
equal to the related Pool Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date,
to the extent on deposit, and remit such amount in immediately available
funds to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account; and
(ix) to clear and terminate the Servicer Custodial Account upon
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01.
The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Servicer Custodial Account pursuant to clauses (i), (ii),
(iv) and (v). The Servicer shall keep and maintain such separate accounting for
each Loan Group. Prior to making any withdrawal from the Servicer Custodial
Account pursuant to clause (iii), the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an
Officer's Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any
previous Advance determined by the Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance and
identifying the related Mortgage Loan(s) and their respective portions of such
Nonrecoverable Advance. The Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee
of the amount, purpose and party paid pursuant to clause (vi) above.
(b) The Trustee shall be deemed to withdraw funds from the
applicable Certificate Account sub-accounts for distributions to
Certificateholders in the manner specified in this Agreement. In addition, the
Trustee may from time to time make withdrawals from the Certificate Account for
the following purposes:
(i) to pay to itself the Trustee Fee;
(ii) to pay to itself as additional compensation earnings on or
investment income with respect to funds in the Certificate Account and any
other amounts (other than the Trustee Fee) due to it under this Agreement
for the related Distribution Date;
(iii) to withdraw and return to the Servicer any amount deposited in
the Certificate Account and not required to be deposited therein; and
(iv) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon termination
of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01.
The Trustee shall notify the Depositor and the Servicer of the
amount and purpose of any payments made pursuant to clause (ii) above (other
than any earnings or investment income with respect to funds in the Certificate
Account).
(c) On each Distribution Date, funds on deposit in the Certificate
Account and deemed to be on deposit in the Upper-Tier Certificate Sub-Account
shall be used to make payments on the Regular Certificates, the Class A-1
Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class A-3 Certificates, the Class
A-4 Certificates, the Class 30-PO Certificates and the Class 1-CB-R Certificate
(in respect of the Class R-U Interest) as provided in Sections 5.01 and 5.02.
The Certificate Account shall be cleared and terminated upon termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01.
Section 3.12 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. The Servicer shall
cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan, fire and hazard insurance with
extended coverage customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located
in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (a) the full insurable
value of the Mortgaged Property or (b) the greater of (i) the outstanding
principal balance owing on the Mortgage Loan and (ii) an amount such that the
proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient to avoid the application to the
Mortgagor or loss payee of any coinsurance clause under the policy. If the
Mortgaged Property is in an area identified 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 and the requirements of
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall also maintain on REO Property,
fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least
equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of
such property, liability insurance and, to the extent required, flood insurance
in an amount required above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any
such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in an Escrow Account and
applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related
Mortgage or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures)
shall be deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 3.11(a). It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or
other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer of any Mortgagor or
maintained on REO Property, 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 policies required hereunder shall be endorsed with
standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer, and shall provide
for at least 30 days' prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in
amount or material change in coverage to the Servicer.
The hazard insurance policies for each Mortgage Loan secured by a
unit in a condominium development or planned unit development shall be
maintained with respect to such Mortgage Loan and the related development in a
manner which is consistent with Xxxxxx Mae requirements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may maintain a blanket
policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgaged Properties
relating to the Mortgage Loans in lieu of maintaining the required hazard
insurance policies for each Mortgage Loan and may maintain a blanket policy
insuring against special flood hazards in lieu of maintaining any required flood
insurance. Any such blanket policies shall (A) be consistent with prudent
industry standards, (B) name the Servicer as loss payee, (C) provide coverage in
an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal balance on the related
Mortgage Loans without co-insurance, and (D) otherwise comply with the
requirements of this Section 3.12. Any such blanket policy may contain a
deductible clause; provided that if any Mortgaged Property is not covered by a
separate policy otherwise complying with this Section 3.12 and a loss occurs
with respect to such Mortgaged Property which loss would have been covered by
such a policy, the Servicer shall deposit in the Servicer Custodial Account the
difference, if any, between the amount that would have been payable under a
separate policy complying with this Section 3.12 and the amount paid under such
blanket policy.
Section 3.13 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.13, when any
Mortgaged Property subject to a Mortgage has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the
Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, to the extent that it has actual
knowledge of such conveyance, to enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any
Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted under applicable law and
governmental regulations, but only to the extent that such enforcement will not
adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance Policy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer is not required to exercise such
rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan if the Person to whom the related
Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed satisfies the
terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Note and Mortgage related thereto
and the consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not
otherwise required under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage as a condition to such
transfer. If (i) the Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such
due-on-sale clause, (ii) coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be
adversely affected, (iii) the Mortgage Note does not include a due-on-sale
clause or (iv) nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Servicer is
authorized, subject to Section 3.13(b), to take or enter into an assumption and
modification agreement from or with the Person to whom such Mortgaged Property
has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law,
the Mortgagor remains liable thereon; provided that the Mortgage Loan shall
continue to be covered (if so covered before the Servicer enters such agreement)
by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Servicer, subject to Section
3.13(b), is also authorized with the prior approval of the insurers under any
Required Insurance Policies to enter into a substitution of liability agreement
with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from
liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under
the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be
deemed to be in default under this Section 3.13 by reason of any transfer or
assumption which the Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from
preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
(b) Subject to the Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause
to the extent set forth in Section 3.13(a), in any case in which a Mortgaged
Property has been 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 or if an instrument of release is required
releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall
prepare and execute the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the
Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification agreement or
supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments as are
reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage
or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions or the
transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person. In connection with any such
assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. In addition,
the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to the
Servicer in accordance with its underwriting standards as then in effect.
Together with each such substitution, assumption or other agreement or
instrument, the Servicer shall execute an Officer's Certificate signed by a
Servicing Officer stating that the requirements of this subsection have been
met. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or
assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee (or at the
direction of the Trustee, the Custodian) the Officer's Certificate described in
the previous sentence and the original of such substitution or assumption
agreement, which in the case of the original shall be added to the related
Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage
File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a
part thereof. Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption
or substitution of liability agreement may be retained by the Servicer as
additional Servicing Compensation.
Section 3.14 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; REO
Property. Subject to Section 3.21, the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to
foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged
Properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in
default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection
of delinquent payments. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion,
the Servicer shall follow Customary Servicing Procedures and shall meet the
requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided,
however, that the Servicer may enter into a special servicing agreement with an
unaffiliated Holder of 100% Percentage Interest of a Class of Subordinate
Certificates or a holder of a class of securities representing interests in the
Subordinate Certificates alone or together with other subordinated mortgage
pass-through certificates. Such agreement shall be substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit K or subject to each Rating Agency's acknowledgment
that the ratings of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to the entering
into 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be
required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards
the restoration of any Mortgaged Property unless it shall determine (i) that
such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of
the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that
such expenses will be recoverable to it through proceeds of the liquidation of
the Mortgage Loan (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of
withdrawals from the Servicer Custodial Account). Any such expenditures shall
constitute Servicing Advances for purposes of this Agreement.
With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale
shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The
Trustee's name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the
Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Servicer shall ensure
that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement and the Trustee's
capacity hereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the
Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer
manage, conserve, protect and operate such REO Property in the same manner that
it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its
own account and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as
the REO Property is managed. Incident to its conservation and protection of the
interests of the Certificateholders, the Servicer may rent the same, or any part
thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the
Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The
Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the Trustee a statement with respect
to each REO Property that has been rented, if any, showing the aggregate rental
income received and all expenses incurred in connection with the management and
maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the
Trustee to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions;
provided, however, that the Servicer shall have no duty to rent any REO Property
on behalf of the Trust. The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO
Property shall be deposited in the Servicer Custodial Account no later than the
close of business on each Determination Date. The Servicer shall perform, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, the tax reporting and withholding required by
Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to foreclosures and
abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section 6050H of the Code with
respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals and, if required by
Section 6050P of the Code with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by
certain financial entities, by preparing such tax and information returns as may
be required, in the form required.
If the Trust acquires any Mortgaged Property as described above or
otherwise in connection with a default or a default which is reasonably
foreseeable on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged
Property prior to the end of the third calendar year following the year of its
acquisition by the Trust (such period, the "REO Disposition Period") unless (A)
the Trustee shall have been supplied by the Servicer with an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such Mortgaged Property
subsequent to the REO Disposition Period will not result in the imposition of
taxes on "prohibited transactions" (as defined in Section 860F of the Code) on
either of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or cause either REMIC
created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding, or (B) the Trustee (at the Servicer's expense) or
the Servicer shall have applied for, prior to the expiration of the REO
Disposition Period, an extension of the REO Disposition Period in the manner
contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the Code. If such an Opinion of Counsel is
provided or such an exemption is obtained, the Trust may continue to hold such
Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of
Counsel) for the applicable period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust shall be rented (or
allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income
by or on behalf of the Trust 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
either REMIC created hereunder to the imposition of any federal, state or local
income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under Section
860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify
and hold harmless the Trust with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
The Servicer shall identify to the Trustee any Mortgaged Property relating to a
Mortgage Loan held by the Trust for 30 months for which no plans to dispose of
such Mortgaged Property by the Servicer have been made. After delivery of such
identification, the Servicer shall proceed to dispose of any such Mortgaged
Property by holding a commercially reasonable auction for such property.
The income earned from the management of any REO Properties, net of
reimbursement to the Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or
other taxes) in connection with such management and net of unreimbursed
Servicing Fees, Periodic Advances and Servicing Advances, shall be applied to
the payment of principal of and interest on the related defaulted Mortgage Loans
(solely for the purposes of allocating principal and interest, interest shall be
treated as accruing 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 Servicer Custodial Account. To the extent the net income
received during any calendar month is in excess of the amount attributable to
amortizing principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate
on the related Mortgage Loan for such calendar month, such excess shall be
considered to be a partial prepayment of principal of the related Mortgage Loan.
The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any
income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority:
first, to reimburse the Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances
and Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Servicer for any unreimbursed
Periodic Advances and to reimburse the Servicer Custodial Account for any
Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that were previously withdrawn by
the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii) that related to such Mortgage
Loan; third, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Periodic Advance
has been made for such amount or any such Periodic Advance has been reimbursed)
on the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the Mortgage Interest Rate to
the Due Date occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be
distributed; and fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess
Proceeds, if any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be
retained by the Servicer as additional Servicing Compensation pursuant to
Section 3.17.
Section 3.15 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon
the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee (or, at the
direction of the Trustee, the Custodian) by delivering, or causing to be
delivered, two copies (one of which will be returned to the Servicer with the
Mortgage File) of a Request for Release (which may be delivered in an electronic
format acceptable to the Trustee and the Servicer). Upon receipt of such
request, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, shall within seven
Business Days release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer. The Trustee
shall deliver to the Servicer the Mortgage Note with written evidence of
cancellation thereon. If the Mortgage has been recorded in the name of MERS or
its designee, the Servicer shall take all necessary action to reflect the
release of the Mortgage on the records of MERS. Expenses incurred in connection
with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable
to the related Mortgagor. From time to time and as shall be appropriate for the
servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose
collection under any policy of flood insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or
omissions policy, or for the purposes of effecting a partial release of any
Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the making of any
corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the other documents
included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable,
shall, upon delivery to the Trustee (or, at the direction of the Trustee, the
Custodian) of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer, release the
Mortgage File within seven Business Days to the Servicer. Subject to the further
limitations set forth below, the Servicer shall cause the Mortgage File so
released to be returned to the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, when the
need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is
liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the Servicer Custodial
Account, in which case the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee or the
Custodian, as applicable, a Request for Release, signed by a Servicing Officer.
Upon prepayment in full of any Mortgage Loan or the receipt of
notice that funds for such purpose have been placed in escrow, the Servicer
shall give an instrument of satisfaction (or Assignment of Mortgage without
recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property relating to such Mortgage Loan, which
instrument of satisfaction or Assignment of Mortgage, as the case may be, shall
be delivered to the Person entitled thereto against receipt of the prepayment in
full. If the Mortgage is registered in the name of MERS or its designee, the
Servicer shall take all necessary action to reflect the release on the records
of MERS. In lieu of executing such satisfaction or Assignment of Mortgage, or if
another document is required to be executed by the Trustee, the Servicer may
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for signature, as appropriate,
any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other documents necessary to
effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action brought to obtain judgment
against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or to obtain a
deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity.
Section 3.16 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the
Servicer to Be Held for the Trustee. The Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee
or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Custodian as required by this Agreement
all documents and instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the
possession of the Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the
Trustee for any funds received by the Servicer or which otherwise are collected
by the Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any
Mortgage Loan. The documents constituting the Servicing File shall be held by
the Servicer as custodian and bailee for the Trustee. All Mortgage Files and
funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Servicer in respect of
any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest
payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including but not limited to, any funds
on deposit in the Servicer Custodial Account, shall be held by the Servicer for
and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive
property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement.
The Servicer also agrees that it shall not knowingly create, incur or subject
any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Servicer Custodial
Account, Certificate Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise
are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ
of attachment or other encumbrance created by the Servicer, or assert by legal
action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or
any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however,
that the Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such
funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Servicer under this
Agreement.
Section 3.17 Servicing Compensation. The Servicer shall be entitled
out of each payment of interest on a Mortgage Loan (or portion thereof) and
included in the Trust Estate to retain or withdraw from the Servicer Custodial
Account an amount equal to the Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date;
provided, however, that the aggregate Servicing Fee for the Servicer relating to
the Mortgage Loans shall be reduced (but not below zero) by an amount equal to
the Compensating Interest.
Any additional Servicing Compensation shall be retained by the
Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Servicer Custodial
Account pursuant to Section 3.08(b). The Servicer shall be required to pay all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder
and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically
provided in this Agreement.
Section 3.18 Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Trustee and the
Servicer shall deliver, and the Servicer shall cause each Additional Servicer
engaged by it to deliver, in electronic form to the Depositor, the Trustee and
each Rating Agency on or before March 5 of each year or if such day is not a
Business Day, the next Business Day (with a 10 calendar day cure period, but in
no event later than March 15), followed by a hard copy within 10 calendar days,
commencing in March 2007, a certificate in the form required by Item 1123 of
Regulation AB, to the effect that (i) an authorized officer of the Trustee, the
Servicer or the Additional Servicer, as the case may be, has reviewed (or a
review has been made under his or her supervision of) such party's activities
under this Agreement or such other applicable agreement in the case of an
Additional Servicer, during the prior calendar year or portion thereof and (ii)
to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, such party has
fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement, or such other applicable
agreement in the case of an Additional Servicer, in all material respects
throughout the prior calendar year or portion thereof or, if there has been a
failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each
such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Promptly
after receipt of each such certificate, the Depositor shall review such
certificate and, if applicable, consult with the Servicer and the Trustee as to
the nature of any failure to fulfill any obligation under the Agreement, or such
other applicable agreement in the case of an Additional Servicer, in any
material respect.
Section 3.19 Assessments of Servicing Compliance; Registered Public
Accounting Firm Attestation Reports. (a) Each of the Servicer and the Trustee,
at its own expense, shall furnish, and shall cause any Servicing Function
Participant engaged by it to furnish, at such party's expense, to the Trustee
and the Depositor in electronic form, not later than March 5 of each year or if
such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day (with a 10 calendar day
cure period, but in no event later than March 15), followed by a hard copy
within 10 calendar days, commencing in March 2007, a report on an assessment of
compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it that contains (A) a
statement by such party of its responsibility for assessing compliance with the
Servicing Criteria applicable to it, (B) a statement that such party used the
Servicing Criteria to assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable
to it, (C) such party's assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria
applicable to it as of and for the fiscal year covered by the Form 10-K required
to be filed pursuant to Section 3.22, including, if there has been any material
instance of noncompliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it, an
identification of each such failure and the nature and status thereof, and (D) a
statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation
report on such party's assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria
applicable to such party as of and for such period.
Each such assessment of compliance report shall be addressed to the
Depositor and the Servicer and signed by an authorized officer of the applicable
party, and shall address each of the Relevant Servicing Criteria set forth on
Exhibit Q hereto, or as set forth in the notification furnished to the Depositor
and the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.19(c). The Servicer and the Trustee hereby
acknowledge and agree that their respective assessments of compliance will cover
the items identified on Exhibit Q hereto as being covered by such party. The
parties to this Agreement acknowledge that where a particular Servicing
Criterion has multiple components, each party's assessment of compliance (and
related attestation of compliance) will relate only to those components that are
applicable to such party. Promptly after receipt of each such report on
assessment of compliance, the Depositor shall review each such report and, if
applicable, consult with the Servicer or the Trustee as to the nature of any
material instance of noncompliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it
(or any Servicing Function Participant engaged or utilized by the Servicer or
the Trustee, as applicable).
(b) Each of the Servicer and the Trustee, at its own expense, shall
cause, and shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it, at such
party's expense, to cause, not later than March 5 of each year or if such day is
not a Business Day, the next Business Day (with a 10 calendar day cure period),
commencing in March 2007, a registered public accounting firm (which may also
render other services to the Servicer, the Trustee, or such other Servicing
Function Participants, as the case may be) and that is a member of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish electronically a report to
the Depositor (with a hard copy to follow within 10 calendar days), to the
effect that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding certain matters from
the management of such party, which includes an assertion that such party has
complied with the Servicing Criteria applicable to it, and (ii) on the basis of
an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for
attestation engagements issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board, it is expressing an opinion as to whether such party's
assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria was fairly stated in all
material respects, or it cannot express an overall opinion regarding such
party's assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria. In the event that
an overall opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm
shall state in such report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Such
report must be available for general use and not contain restricted use
language. If requested by the Depositor, such report shall contain or be
accompanied by a consent of such accounting firm to inclusion or incorporation
of such report in the Depositor's registration statement on Form S-3 relating to
the Offered Certificates and the Form 10-K for the Trust.
Promptly after receipt of each such accountants' attestation report,
the Depositor shall review the report and, if applicable, consult with the
Servicer or the Trustee if such report (i) states that a party's assessment of
compliance was not fairly stated in any material respect or (ii) is unable to
state an overall opinion.
(c) No later than 30 days following the end of each fiscal year for
the Trust for which a Form 10-K is required to be filed, (i) the Servicer shall
forward to the Depositor the name of each Servicing Function Participant engaged
by it and what Servicing Criteria will be addressed in the report on assessment
of compliance prepared by such Servicing Function Participant and (ii) the
Trustee shall forward to the Depositor the name of each Servicing Function
Participant engaged by it and what Servicing Criteria will be addressed in the
report on assessment of compliance prepared by such Servicing Function
Participant, in each case to the extent of any change from the prior year's
notice, if any.
(d) Beginning with fiscal year 2008 and thereafter, none of the
Servicer, the Trustee or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such
parties shall be required to deliver or cause the delivery of any such
assessments or attestation reports until April 15 unless such party has received
written notice from the Depositor that a Form 10-K is required to be filed in
respect of the Trust for the preceding fiscal year.
Section 3.20 Advances. The Servicer shall determine on or before
each Servicer Advance Date whether it is required to make a Periodic Advance
pursuant to the definition thereof. If the Servicer determines it is required to
make a Periodic Advance, it shall, on or before the Servicer Advance Date,
either (a) deposit into the Servicer Custodial Account an amount equal to the
Advance and/or (b) make an appropriate entry in its records relating to the
Servicer Custodial Account that any portion of the Amount Held for Future
Distribution with respect to a Loan Group in the Servicer Custodial Account has
been used by the Servicer in discharge of its obligation to make any such
Periodic Advance on a Mortgage Loan in such Loan Group. Any funds so applied
shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Servicer Custodial Account
no later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding the next
Servicer Advance Date. The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the
Servicer Custodial Account for all Advances of its own funds made pursuant to
this Section 3.20 as provided in Section 3.11(a). The obligation to make
Periodic Advances with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall continue until the
ultimate disposition of the REO Property or Mortgaged Property relating to such
Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall inform the Trustee of the amount of the
Periodic Advance to be made by the Servicer with respect to each Loan Group on
each Servicer Advance Date no later than the related Remittance Date.
The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee on the related Servicer
Advance Date an Officer's Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the
amount of any proposed Periodic Advance determined by the Servicer to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Servicer
shall not be required to make any Periodic Advance or Servicing Advance that
would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
Section 3.21 Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents.
(a)Subject to this Section 3.21, the Servicer may agree to any modification,
waiver, forbearance, or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan without the
consent of the Trustee or any Certificateholder. All modifications, waivers,
forbearances or amendments of any Mortgage Loan shall be in writing and shall be
consistent with Customary Servicing Procedures.
(b) The Servicer shall not agree to enter into, and shall not enter
into, any modification, waiver (other than a waiver referred to in Section 3.13,
which waiver, if any, shall be governed by Section 3.13), forbearance or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan if such modification, waiver,
forbearance, or amendment would:
(i) forgive principal owing under such Mortgage Loan or permanently
reduce the interest rate on such Mortgage Loan;
(ii) affect the amount or timing of any related payment of
principal, interest or other amount payable thereunder;
(iii) in the Servicer's judgment, materially impair the security for
such Mortgage Loan or reduce the likelihood of timely payment of amounts
due thereon; or
(iv) otherwise constitute a "significant modification" within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b);
unless, in the case of clauses (ii) through (iv) above, (A) such Mortgage Loan
is 90 days or more past due or (B) the Servicer delivers to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such modification, waiver, forbearance or
amendment would not affect the REMIC status of either of the Upper-Tier REMIC or
the Lower-Tier REMIC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel need
be delivered if the purpose of the modification is to reduce the Monthly Payment
on a Mortgage Loan as a result of a partial Principal Prepayment; provided that
the Mortgage Loan is fully amortized by its original maturity date. Subject to
Customary Servicing Procedures, the Servicer may permit a forbearance for a
Mortgage Loan which in the Servicer's judgment is subject to imminent default.
(c) The Servicer may, as a condition to granting any request by a
Mortgagor for consent, modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment, the
granting of which is within the Servicer's discretion pursuant to the Mortgage
Loan and is permitted by the terms of this Agreement, require that such
Mortgagor pay to the Servicer, as additional Servicing Compensation, a
reasonable or customary fee for the additional services performed in connection
with such request, together with any related costs and expenses incurred by the
Servicer, which amount shall be retained by the Servicer as additional Servicing
Compensation.
(d) The Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee, in
writing, of any modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment of any term of
any Mortgage Loan and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Trustee (or, at
the direction of the Trustee, the Custodian) for deposit in the related Mortgage
File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification,
waiver, forbearance or amendment, promptly (and in any event within ten Business
Days) following the execution thereof; provided, however, that if any such
modification, waiver, forbearance or amendment is required by applicable law to
be recorded, the Servicer (i) shall deliver to the Trustee a copy thereof and
(ii) shall deliver to the Trustee such document, with evidence of notification
upon receipt thereof from the public recording office.
Section 3.22 Reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. (a)
The Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor to
enable the Depositor to satisfy its reporting requirements under the Exchange
Act and the parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate to enable the Securities
and Exchange Commission requirements with respect to the Depositor to be met in
the event that the Securities and Exchange Commission issues additional
interpretive guidelines or promulgates rules or regulations, or in the event of
any other change of law that would require reporting arrangements or the
allocation of responsibilities with respect thereto, as described in this
Section 3.22, to be conducted or allocated in a different manner. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall prepare on behalf of
the Depositor any Current Reports on Form 8-K (each, a "Form 8-K"), Distribution
Reports on Form 10-D (each, a "Form 10-D") and Annual Reports on Form 10-K
(each, a "Form 10-K") as required by the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, the Servicer
shall sign such forms (other than Form 8-Ks) or the Depositor shall sign such
Form 8-Ks, the Trustee shall file (via the Securities and Exchange Commission's
Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such forms on behalf of the
Depositor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositor shall file the Form 8-Ks
in connection with the issuance of the Certificates.
(b) Each Form 10-D shall be filed by the Trustee within 15 days
after each Distribution Date and will include a copy of the monthly statement to
Certificateholders delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(b) (each, a "Distribution
Date Statement") for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. In addition,
the Trustee shall include under Item 1 of each Form 10-D any information
required by Item 1121 of Regulation AB to the extent relevant that is not
included on the Distribution Date Statement. Any information in addition to the
Distribution Date Statement and any other information required by Item 1121 of
Regulation AB ("Additional Form 10-D Information") shall be determined by the
party preparing such information as set forth on Exhibit R-1 hereto and the
Trustee shall compile such information pursuant to the following paragraph. The
Trustee will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or
prepare any Additional Form 10-D Information, except to the extent of its
obligations as set forth in the next paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit R-1 hereto, within 5 calendar days after the
related Distribution Date, certain parties hereto shall be required to provide
to the Depositor and the Trustee, to the extent known by such parties, in
XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the
Trustee and such party, (i) any Additional Form 10-D Information, if applicable
and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as
the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D Information (other
than with respect to Additional Form 10-D Information provided by the Trustee).
The Depositor will be responsible for all reasonable fees and expenses assessed
or incurred by the Trustee in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D
Information on Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph, including converting any
such information to an XXXXX-compatible format.
After preparing the Form 10-D, the Trustee shall forward
electronically a draft copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor and the Servicer
for review. No later than 2 Business Days prior to the 15th calendar day after
the related Distribution Date, the Servicer shall sign the Form 10-D and return
an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-D (with an original executed
hard copy to immediately follow) to the Trustee. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed
on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Trustee will
follow the procedures set forth in Section 3.22(e). Form 10-D requires the
registrant to indicate (by checking "yes" or "no") that it "(1) has filed all
reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during
the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was
required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such filing
requirements for the past 90 days." The Depositor hereby instructs the Trustee,
with respect to each Form 10-D, to check "yes" for each item unless the Trustee
has received timely prior written notice from the Depositor that the answer
should be "no" for an item. Promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after
filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Trustee will make
available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-D. The
Trustee shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising
out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file
such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the Trustee's inability or
failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any party
hereto (other than the Trustee or any Servicing Function Participant utilized by
the Trustee) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D,
not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(c) On or before 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Trust (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (the "10-K Filing
Deadline") commencing in 2007, the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in form and
substance as required by applicable law or applicable Securities and Exchange
Commission staff interpretations. Each such Form 10-K shall include the
following items, in each case to the extent they have been delivered to the
Trustee within the applicable time frames set forth in this Agreement: (i) an
annual compliance statement for the Trustee, the Servicer and each Additional
Servicer, as described under Section 3.18, (ii)(A) the annual reports on
assessment of compliance with Servicing Criteria for the Servicer, the Trustee
and each Servicing Function Participant, as described under Section 3.19, and
(B) if the Servicer's, the Trustee's or each Servicing Function Participant's
report on assessment of compliance with Servicing Criteria described under
Section 3.19 identifies any material instance of noncompliance or is not
included, disclosure identifying such instance of noncompliance or disclosure
that such report is not included and an explanation thereof, as the case may be,
(iii)(A) the registered public accounting firm attestation report for the
Servicer, the Trustee and each Servicing Function Participant, as described
under Section 3.19, and (B) if any registered public accounting firm attestation
report described under Section 3.19 identifies any material instance of
noncompliance or is not included, disclosure identifying such instance of
noncompliance or disclosure that such report is not included and an explanation
thereof, as the case may be, and (iv) a Certification as described in this
Section 3.22(c). Any information in addition to (i) through (iv) above that is
required to be included on Form 10-K ("Additional Form 10-K Information") shall
be prepared by the party responsible for preparing such information as set forth
on Exhibit R-2 hereto and the Trustee shall compile such information pursuant to
the following paragraph. The Trustee will have no duty or liability for any
failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K Information,
except to the extent of its obligations as set forth in the next paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit R-2 hereto, no later than March 1st of each
year that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements,
commencing in 2007, certain parties to this Agreement shall be required to
provide to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the extent known by such applicable
parties, in XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other form as otherwise agreed
upon by the Trustee and such party, (i) any Additional Form 10-K Information, if
applicable and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or
disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K
Information (other than with respect to Additional Form 10-K Information
provided by the Trustee). The Depositor will be responsible for all reasonable
fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Trustee in connection with
including any Additional Form 10-K Information on Form 10-K pursuant to this
paragraph, including converting any such information to an XXXXX-compatible
format.
After preparing the Form 10-K, the Trustee shall forward
electronically a draft copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor and the Servicer
for review. No later than the close of business on the fourth Business Day prior
to the 10-K Filing Deadline, a senior officer of the Servicer in charge of the
servicing function shall sign the Form 10-K and return an electronic or fax copy
of such signed Form 10-K, together with a signed copy of the certification (the
"Certification") attached hereto as Exhibit O and required to be included with
each Form 10-K pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, as amended (with an
original executed hard copy of each to follow by overnight mail) to the Trustee.
If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs
to be amended, the Trustee will follow the procedures set forth in Section
3.22(e). Form 10-K requires the registrant to indicate (by checking "yes" or
"no") that it "(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter
period that the registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been
subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days." The Depositor hereby
represents to the Trustee that the Depositor has filed all such required reports
during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject to such filing
requirement for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the Trustee in
writing, no later than March 15th with respect to the filing of a report on Form
10-K, if the answer to either question should be "no." The Trustee shall be
entitled to rely on such representations in preparing, executing and/or filing
any such report. Promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after filing with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Trustee will make available on its
internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-K. The parties to this
Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Trustee of its duties under
this Section 3.22(c) relating to the timely preparation and filing of Form 10-K
is contingent upon such parties (and any Additional Servicer or Servicing
Function Participant) strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the
performance of their duties under this Section 3.22, Section 3.18 and Section
3.19. The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim
arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely
file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Trustee's inability or
failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any party
hereto (other than the Trustee or any Servicing Function Participant utilized by
the Trustee) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K,
not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
For so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of
the Exchange Act, the Trustee shall provide to the Servicer, on or before March
5 of each year or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day (with
a 10 calendar day cure period), followed by a hard copy within 10 days,
commencing in March 2007, and otherwise within a reasonable period of time upon
request, a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit P. In the event
the Trustee is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
such Trustee shall provide a certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit P with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement.
In addition, the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Sponsor and their officers, directors and affiliates from and
against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and
necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses
arising out of or based upon any inaccuracy in (i) the assessment of compliance
with the Servicing Criteria pursuant to Section 3.19 provided by Trustee or any
Servicing Function Participant appointed by the Trustee and (ii) the
certification provided by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.22(c), any
breach of the obligations under Sections 3.19 and 3.22(c) of the Trustee or any
Servicing Function Participant appointed by the Trustee or the Trustee's or such
Servicing Function Participant's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in
connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable
or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor, the Servicer and the Sponsor and
their officers, directors and affiliates, then the Trustee agrees that it shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Sponsor, any of their officers, directors or affiliates as a result of the
losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Depositor, the Servicer or the
Sponsor, any of their officers, directors or affiliates in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Sponsor and each of their officers, directors and affiliates on the one hand and
the Trustee on the other in connection with a breach of the Trustee's
obligations under this Section 3.22(c) or the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct in connection therewith.
(d) Within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event
requiring disclosure on Form 8-K (each such event, a "Reportable Event"), and
also if requested by the Depositor, the Trustee shall prepare and file on behalf
of the Trust any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act, provided that the
Depositor shall file the initial Form 8-Ks in connection with the issuance of
the Certificates. Any information related to a Reportable Event or that is
otherwise required to be included on Form 8-K (such information, "Form 8-K
Information") shall be reported to the Depositor and the Trustee by the parties
set forth on Exhibit R-3 hereto and compiled by the Trustee pursuant to the
following paragraph. The Trustee will have no duty or liability for any failure
hereunder to determine or prepare any Form 8-K Information or any Form 8-K,
except to the extent of its obligations as set forth in the next paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit R-3 hereto, for so long as the Trust is
subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no later than 12:00 noon on
the second Business Day after the occurrence of a Reportable Event certain
parties to this Agreement shall be required to provide to the Depositor and the
Trustee, to the extent known by such applicable parties, in XXXXX-compatible
format, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Trustee and such
party, (i) any Form 8-K Information, if applicable and (ii) the Depositor will
approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the
inclusion of the Additional Form 8-K Information (other than with respect to
Additional Form 8-K Information provided by the Trustee). The Depositor will be
responsible for all reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the
Trustee in connection with including any Form 8-K Information on Form 8-K
pursuant to this paragraph, including converting any such information to an
XXXXX-compatible format.
After preparing the Form 8-K, the Trustee shall forward
electronically a draft copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor for review,
verification and execution by the Depositor. No later than 12:00 noon on the
fourth Business Day after the Reportable Event, an officer of the Depositor
shall sign the Form 8-K and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form
8-K (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the
Trustee. Promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Trustee will, make available on its
internet website a final executed copy of each Form 8-K prepared and filed by
it. If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 8-K
needs to be amended, the Trustee will follow the procedures set forth in Section
3.22(e). The Depositor acknowledges that the performance by the Trustee of its
duties under this Section 3.22(d) related to the timely preparation and filing
of Form 8-K is contingent upon the parties to this Agreement and any other
Person obligated to provide Form 8-K Information as set forth on Exhibit R-3
hereto, observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties
under this Section 3.22(d). The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss,
expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to
properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results
from the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis,
any information from any party hereto (other than the Trustee or any Servicing
Function Participant utilized by the Trustee) needed to prepare, arrange for
execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct.
(e) In the event that the Trustee is unable to timely file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K,
Form 10-D or Form 10-K required to be filed by this Agreement because required
information was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery
deadlines set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason, the Trustee will
immediately notify the Depositor and the Servicer. In the case of Form 10-D and
Form 10-K, the Depositor, Servicer and Trustee will cooperate to prepare and
file a Form 12b-25 pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of
Form 8-K, the Trustee will, upon receipt of all information required to be
included on Form 8-K, and upon approval and direction of the Depositor, include
such disclosure in the filing of such Form 8-K or include such disclosure on the
next Form 10-D. Within 5 calendar days following the original due date of the
Form 10-D, the Trustee shall prepare and file the related Form 10-D. Within 15
calendar days following the original due date of the Form 10-K, the Trustee
shall prepare and file the related Form 10-K. In the event that any previously
filed Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K needs to be amended, the party to this
Agreement deciding that an amendment to such Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K is
required will notify the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer and such
parties will cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 8-K/A, Form 10-D/A or Form
10-K/A. Any Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 10-D or Form 10-K shall be
signed by a senior officer of the Servicer in charge of the servicing function.
Any amendment to Form 8-K or any Form 15 (as described in Section 3.22(g)) shall
be signed by an officer of the Depositor. The Depositor and Servicer acknowledge
that the performance by the Trustee of its duties under this Section 3.22(e)
related to the timely preparation and filing of a Form 12b-25 or any amendment
to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K is contingent upon the Servicer and the
Depositor performing their duties under this Section. The Trustee shall have no
liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to
any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file any such Form 12b-25 or any
amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, where such failure results from
the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any
information from any other party hereto (other than the Trustee or any Servicing
Function Participant utilized by the Trustee) needed to prepare, arrange for
execution or file such Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or
Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.
(f) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Trustee shall promptly deliver or otherwise make available to the Depositor a
copy of any such executed report, statement or information.
(g) The obligations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (f) of this
Section shall only apply with respect to periods for which the Trustee is
obligated to file reports on Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K. Unless otherwise instructed
by the Depositor, on or prior to January 30th of the first year in which the
Trustee is permitted to do so under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and other
applicable law and regulations, the Trustee shall prepare and file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 15 Suspension Notification with
respect to the Trust, with a copy to the Depositor. At any time after the filing
of a Form 15 Suspension Notification, if the number of Certificateholders of
record exceeds the number set forth in Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act or the
regulations promulgated pursuant thereto which would cause the Trust to again
become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Trustee
shall recommence preparing and filing reports on Form 10-D and 10-K as required
pursuant to this Section and the parties hereto will again have the obligations
set forth in paragraphs (a) through (f) of this Section.
(h) The Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer shall notify the
Depositor and the Trustee of any proceedings of the type described in Item 1117
of Regulation AB, together with a description thereof, within five Business Days
of any such party's knowledge thereof. In addition, the Depositor, the Trustee
and the Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee of any affiliations
or relationships that develop following the Closing Date between the Depositor,
the Trustee or the Servicer and any of parties listed in Item 1119 of Regulation
AB, together with a description thereof, within five Business Days of any such
party's knowledge thereof.

definition of "Interest Distribution Amount" or clause (ii) of the definition of
"Component Interest Distribution Amount" after its Class Certificate Balance,
Component Balance or Notional Amount has been reduced to zero.

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute any
Reimbursement Amount sequentially to the Classes of Certificates then

beginning with the most senior of such Classes of Certificates, up to,
with respect to each Class, the amount of loss borne by such Class. Any
Reimbursement Amount remaining after the application described in the
preceding sentence shall be included in the Pool Distribution Amount for
the applicable Loan Group.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute any PO
Recovery to the Holders of the Class 30-PO Certificates.
In the event that on any Distribution Date, the Subordinate
Principal Distribution Amounts for the Loan Groups are insufficient to reduce
the PO Deferred Amounts of the PO Components to zero, the amount that is
available shall be distributed among such Components pro rata based on the PO
Deferred Amounts.

principal distributed to its respective Corresponding Upper-Tier Class,
Classes or Component, as provided herein. On each Distribution Date, each
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest (other than the Class 1-30-LPO Interest
and Class 2-30-LPO Interest) shall receive distributions in respect of
interest in an amount equal to the Interest Accrual Amounts and Unpaid
Interest Shortfalls, as the case may be, in respect of its Corresponding
Upper-Tier Class, Classes or Component, in each case to the extent
actually distributed thereon. Such amounts distributed to the
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests in respect of principal and interest
with respect to any Distribution Date are referred to herein collectively
as the "Lower-Tier Distribution Amount."
(vii) As of any date, the principal balance or notional amount of
each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest equals the aggregate of the Class
Certificate Balances or Notional Amounts of the respective Corresponding
Upper-Tier Class, Classes or Component or, in the case of the Class 1-A-L2
Interest, the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 1-A-2 Component, and
in the case of the Class 2-A-L2 Interest, the Class Certificate Balance of
the 2-A-2 Component. The initial principal balance or notional amount of
each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest equals the aggregate of the
Initial Class Certificate Balances or Initial Notional Amounts of the
respective Corresponding Upper-Tier Class, Classes or Component or, in the
case of the Class 1-A-L2 Interest, the Initial Class Certificate Balance
of the Class 1-A-2 Component, and in the case of the Class 2-A-L2
Interest, the Initial Class Certificate Balance of the Class 2-A-2
Component.
The pass-through rate with respect to the Class 1-CB-L1 Interest,
Class 2-NC-L1 Interest, Class 1-A-L1 Interest and Class 2-A-L1 Interest shall be
6.000% per annum. The pass-through rate with respect to the Class 1-CB-LUR
Interest, Class CB-LIO Interest, Class 1-A-L4 Interest, Class NC-LIO Interest,
Class 2-A-L4 Interest, Class B-L1 Interest, Class B-L2 Interest, Class B-L3
Interest, Class B-L4 Interest, Class B-L5 Interest and Class B-L6 Interest shall
be 6.250% per annum. The pass-through rate with respect to the Class 1-A-L2
Interest and Class 2-A-L2 Interest shall be 7.000% per annum. The Class 1-30-LPO
Interest and Class 2-30-LPO Interest are principal-only interests and are not
entitled to distributions of interest.
Any Non-Supported Interest Shortfalls and Relief Act Reductions will
be allocated to each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest in the same relative
proportions as interest is allocated to such Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest.
(b) (i) With respect to the Group 1 Senior Certificates:
On each Distribution Date prior to the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, the amount distributable to the Group 1 Senior
Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(ii)(A) for such Distribution
Date, will be distributed, sequentially, as follows:
first, to the Class 1-CB-R Certificate, until its Class Certificate
Balance has been reduced to zero;
second, concurrently, to the Class 1-CB-1 Certificates and the Class
1-A-1, Class 1-A-2 and Class 1-A-4 Components, pro rata, until their Class
Certificate Balance and Component Balances have been reduced to zero.
(ii) With respect to the Group 2 Senior Certificates:
On each Distribution Date prior to the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, the amount distributable to the Group 2 Senior Certificates
pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(ii)(A) for such Distribution Date, will be
distributed concurrently to the Class 2-NC-1 Certificates and the Class 2-A-1,
Class 2-A-2 and Class 2-A-4 Components, pro rata, until their Class Certificate
Balance and Component Balances have been reduced to zero.
On each Distribution Date on or after the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, notwithstanding the allocation and priority set forth above, the
portion of the Pool Distribution Amount with respect to a Loan Group available
to be distributed as principal of the Senior Non-PO Certificates and Senior
Non-PO Components of each Group shall be distributed concurrently, as principal,
on such Classes, pro rata, on the basis of their respective Class Certificate
Balances or Component Balances, until the Class Certificate Balances or
Component Balances thereof are reduced to zero.
The Class CB-IO, Class NC-IO and Class A-3 Certificates are Interest
Only Certificates and are not entitled to distributions in respect of principal.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Distribution Date prior
to the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, but on or after the date on
which the Class Certificate Balances of the Senior Non-PO Certificates and
the Component Balances of the Senior Non-PO Components of a Group has been
reduced to zero, amounts otherwise distributable as principal payments
from the Related Loan Group on the Subordinate Certificates will be paid
as principal to the remaining Classes and Components of Senior Non-PO
Certificates and Senior Non-PO Components together with the applicable
Senior Principal Distribution Amount in accordance with the priorities set
forth for the applicable Group in (i) or (ii) above, provided that on such
Distribution Date (a) the Aggregate Subordinate Percentage for such
Distribution Date is less than twice the initial Aggregate Subordinate
Percentage or (b) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans
(including, for this purpose, any Mortgage Loans in foreclosure, any REO
Property and any Mortgage Loan for which the Mortgagor has filed for
bankruptcy after the Closing Date) delinquent 60 days or more (averaged
over the preceding six month period), as a percentage of the aggregate
Class Certificate Balance of the Subordinate Certificates, is equal to or
greater than 50%. In addition, if on any Distribution Date, after giving
effect to the second preceding sentence, the Class Certificate Balances
and Component Balances of the Senior Non-PO Certificates and Senior Non-PO
Components of a Group is greater than the Adjusted Pool Amount (Non-PO
Portion) of the Related Loan Group (any such Group, the
"Undercollateralized Group" and any such excess, the "Undercollateralized
Amount"), all amounts otherwise distributable as principal on the
Subordinate Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(iv)(L), (J), (H),
(F), (D) and (B), in that order, will be paid as principal to the Senior
Non-PO Certificates and Senior Non-PO Components of the
Undercollateralized Group together with the applicable Senior Principal
Distribution Amount in accordance with the priorities set forth for the
applicable Group above under (i), (ii) or (iii) until the Class
Certificate Balances and Component Balances of the Senior Non-PO
Certificates and Senior Non-PO Components of the Undercollateralized Group
equals the Adjusted Pool Amount (Non-PO Portion) of the Related Loan
Group. Also, the amount of any Class Unpaid Interest Shortfalls and
Component Unpaid Interest Shortfalls with respect to the
Undercollateralized Group (including any Class Unpaid Interest Shortfalls
and Component Unpaid Interest Shortfalls for such Distribution Date) will
be paid to the Undercollateralized Group pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i)
prior to the payment of any Undercollateralized Amount from amounts
otherwise distributable as principal on the Subordinate Certificates
pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(iv) (L), (J), (H), (F), (D) and (B), in that
order. Such amount will be paid to the Senior Non-PO Certificates and
Senior Non-PO Components of such Undercollateralized Group up to their
Interest Distribution Amounts or Component Interest Distribution Amounts
for such Distribution Date.
The PO Deferred Amounts for the PO Components will be paid from
amounts otherwise distributable as principal on the Subordinate Certificates
before any payments are made pursuant to the preceding paragraph.
(c) On each Distribution Date, Accrued Certificate Interest for each
Class of Senior Certificates (other than the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 and
Class A-4 Certificates) and each Class of Subordinate Certificates and Accrued
Component Interest for each Senior Non-PO Component for such Distribution Date
shall be reduced by such Class' or Component's pro rata share, based on such
Class' Interest Distribution Amount or such Component's Component Interest
Distribution Amount, as applicable, for such Distribution Date, without taking
into account the allocation made by this Section 5.02(c), of (A) Non-Supported
Interest Shortfalls, (B) on and after the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date,
any other Realized Loss on the Mortgage Loans in the Related Loan Group
allocable to interest and (C) Relief Act Reductions incurred on the Mortgage
Loans during the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date.
(d) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation contained in Section
5.02(a)(iv), if with respect to any Class of Subordinate Certificates on any
Distribution Date, (i) the aggregate of the Class Certificate Balances
immediately prior to such Distribution Date of all Classes of Subordinate
Certificates, as the case may be, lower in order of payment priority than such
Class, divided by (ii) the aggregate Pool Stated Principal Balance (Non-PO
Portion) for all Loan Groups (for each Class, the "Fractional Interest") is less
than the Original Fractional Interest for such Class, no distribution of
principal will be made to any Classes of Subordinate Certificates junior to such
Class (the "Restricted Classes") and the Class Certificate Balances of the
Restricted Classes of Subordinate Certificates will not be used in determining
the Pro Rata Share for the Subordinate Certificates that are not Restricted
Classes. If the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the Subordinate
Certificates that are not Restricted Classes is reduced to zero, notwithstanding
the previous sentence, any funds remaining will be distributed sequentially to
the Subordinate Certificates that are Restricted Classes in order of their
payment priority (beginning with the Class of Subordinate Certificates that is a
Restricted Class then outstanding highest in order of payment priority).
Section 5.03 Allocation of Losses. (a) On or prior to each
Determination Date, the Servicer shall inform the Trustee in writing with
respect to each Mortgage Loan: (1) whether any Realized Loss is a Deficient
Valuation or a Debt Service Reduction, (2) of the amount of such loss or
Deficient Valuation, or of the terms of such Debt Service Reduction and (3) of
the total amount of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group.
Based on such information, the Trustee shall determine the total amount of
Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group with respect to the
related Distribution Date. Realized Losses shall be allocated to the
Certificates by a reduction in the Class Certificate Balances of the designated
Classes pursuant to Section 5.03(b) below.
(b) The Component Balance of the PO Component, if any, of each Group
shall be reduced on each Distribution Date by the amount, if any, by which the
Component Balance of such PO Component (after giving effect to the amount to be
distributed as a distribution of principal on such Distribution Date) exceeds
the Adjusted Pool Amount (PO Portion) for the Related Loan Group for such
Distribution Date.
The Class Certificate Balance of the Class of Subordinate
Certificates then outstanding lowest in order of payment priority shall be
reduced or increased on each Distribution Date by the amount, if any, necessary
such that the aggregate of the Class Certificate Balances of all outstanding
Classes of Senior Non-PO Certificates and Subordinate Certificates (after giving
effect to the amount to be distributed as a distribution of principal and the
allocation of the PO Deferred Amounts on such Distribution Date) equals the sum
of the Adjusted Pool Amounts (Non-PO Portion) for each Loan Group for such
Distribution Date.
After the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, the Class
Certificate Balances and Component Balances of the Senior Non-PO Certificates
and Senior Non-PO Components of each Group in the aggregate shall be reduced or
increased on each Distribution Date by the amount, if any, necessary such that
the sum of the Class Certificate Balances and Component Balances of all Classes
of Senior Non-PO Certificates and Senior Non-PO Components with a Class
Certificate Balance or Component Balance greater than zero of such Group (after
giving effect to the amount to be distributed as a distribution of principal on
such Distribution Date) equals the Adjusted Pool Amount (Non-PO Portion) for the
Related Loan Group for such Distribution Date.
Any such reduction or increase shall be allocated among the Senior
Non-PO Certificates and Senior Non-PO Components of such Group, based on the
Class Certificate Balances and Component Balances immediately prior to such
Distribution Date.
(c) Any reduction or increase in the Class Certificate Balance of a
Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 5.03(b) above shall be allocated among
the Certificates of such Class in proportion to their respective Percentage
Interests.
(d) The calculation of the amount to be distributed as principal to
any Class of Subordinate Certificates with respect to a Distribution Date (the
"Calculated Principal Distribution") shall be made prior to the allocation of
any Realized Losses for such Distribution Date; provided, however, the actual
payment of principal to the Classes of Subordinate Certificates shall be made
subsequent to the allocation of Realized Losses for such Distribution Date. In
the event that after the allocation of Realized Losses for a Distribution Date,
the Calculated Principal Distribution for a Class of Subordinate Certificates is
greater than the Class Certificate Balance of such Class, the excess shall be
distributed first, sequentially, to the Classes of Subordinate Certificates then
outstanding (beginning with the Class of Subordinate Certificates then
outstanding highest in order of payment priority) until the respective Class
Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero and then to the Senior
Non-PO Certificates and Senior Non-PO Components of such Group, pro rata, on the
basis of their respective Class Certificate Balances and Component Balances.
(e) After the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, on any
Distribution Date on which the Class 1-A-4 Component Loss Allocation Amount is
greater than zero, the Component Balance of the Class 1-A-4 Component will be
reduced by the Class 1-A-4 Component Loss Allocation Amount and, notwithstanding
Section 5.03(b), the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 1-CB-1 Certificates
and Component Balances of the Class 1-A-1 and Class 1-A-2 Components will not be
reduced by the Class 1-A-4 Component Loss Allocation Amount. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, on any Distribution Date in which the sum of the Class 1-CB-1 Loss
Amount, Class 1-A-1 Component Loss Amount and Class 1-A-2 Component Loss Amount
exceeds the Component Balance of the Class 1-A-4 Component prior to any
reduction for the Class 1-A-4 Component Loss Allocation Amount, such excess will
be distributed pro rata, in reduction of the Class Certificate Balance of the
Class 1-CB-1 Certificates and the Component Balances of the Class 1-A-1 and
Class 1-A-2 Components. After the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, on any
Distribution Date on which the Class 2-A-4 Component Loss Allocation Amount is
greater than zero, the Component Balance of the Class 2-A-4 Component will be
reduced by the Class 2-A-4 Component Loss Allocation Amount and, notwithstanding
Section 5.03(b), the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 2-NC-1 Certificates
and Component Balances of the Class 2-A-1 and Class 2-A-2 Components will not be
reduced by the Class 2-A-4 Component Loss Allocation Amount. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, on any Distribution Date in which the sum of the Class 2-NC-1 Loss
Amount, Class 2-A-1 Component Loss Amount and Class 2-A-2 Component Loss Amount
exceeds the Component Balance of the Class 2-A-4 Component prior to any
reduction for the Class 2-A-4 Component Loss Allocation Amount, such excess will
be distributed pro rata, in reduction of the Class Certificate Balance of the
Class 2-NC-1 Certificates and the Component Balances of the Class 2-A-1 and
Class 2-A-2 Components.
Any increase in Class Certificate Balance allocated to the Class
1-CB-1 Certificates and the Component Balances of the Class 1-A-1 and Class
1-A-2 Components pursuant to Section 5.03(b) will instead increase the Component
Balance of the Class 1-A-4 Component; and any increase in Class Certificate
Balance allocated to the Class 2-NC-1 Certificates and the Component Balances of
the Class 2-A-1 and Class 2-A-2 Components pursuant to Section 5.03(b) will
instead increase the Component Balance of the Class 2-A-4 Component.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.03, no
Class Certificate Balance of a Class or Component Balance of a Component will be
increased on any Distribution Date such that the Class Certificate Balance of
such Class or Component Balance of such Component exceeds its Initial Class
Certificate Balance or Initial Component Balance less all distributions of
principal previously distributed in respect of such Class or Component on prior
Distribution Dates (excluding in the case of any Class of Subordinate
Certificates any principal otherwise payable to such Class of Subordinate
Certificates but used to pay any PO Deferred Amount).
(g) With respect to any Distribution Date, Realized Losses allocated
pursuant to this Section 5.03 will be allocated to each Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interest in an amount equal to the Realized Losses allocated to such
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest's Corresponding Upper Tier Class, Classes or
Component.
Section 5.04 Statements to Certificateholders. (a) Prior to the
Distribution Date in each month, based upon the information provided to the
Trustee on the Servicer's Certificates delivered to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 4.01 and with respect to subsections (xx) and (xxi) below, after

bankruptcy as of the close of business on the last day of the calendar
month preceding such Distribution Date;
(xiv) for each Loan Group, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that
became an REO Property during the preceding calendar month, the loan

business on the Determination Date preceding such Distribution Date;
(xvi) for each Group, the Senior Prepayment Percentage and the
Subordinate Prepayment Percentage for such Distribution Date;

able to include such information on the statement, any material breaches
of representations and warranties relating to the Mortgage Loans and any
material breach of covenants hereunder;
(xxiii) the number and aggregate principal balance of any Mortgage
Loans repurchased by the Depositor from the Trust since the previous
Distribution Date; and
(b) No later than each Distribution Date, the Trustee, based upon
information supplied to it on the Servicer's Certificate, shall make available
to each Holder of a Certificate, each Rating Agency and the Servicer a statement
setting forth the information set forth in Section 5.04(a).
In the case of information furnished pursuant to clauses (iii) and
(iv) of Section 5.04(a), the amounts shall be expressed as a dollar amount per
Certificate with a $1,000 Denomination.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall prepare and furnish to
each Financial Market Service, in electronic or such other format and media
mutually agreed upon by the Trustee, the Financial Market Service and the
Depositor, the information contained in the statement described in Section
5.04(a) for such Distribution Date.
The Trustee will make the monthly statement to Certificateholders
(and, at its option, any additional files containing the same information in an
alternative format) available each month to Certificateholders, and other
parties to this Agreement via the Trustee's Internet website, initially located
at "xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx". The Trustee will also make available copies of the
periodic reports the Trustee prepares and files with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including distribution reports on Form 10-D, annual reports on Form
10-K, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to these reports available
through this website promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after they
are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Assistance in using this
website can be obtained by calling the Trustee's customer service desk at (301)
815-6600. Parties that are unable to use the website are entitled to have a
paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the customer service
desk and indicating such. The Trustee shall have the right to change the way the
monthly statements to Certificateholders are distributed in order to make such
distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties and the
Trustee shall provide timely and adequate notification to all above parties
regarding any such changes.
Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar
year, the Trustee shall furnish to each Person who at any time during the
calendar year was the Holder of a Certificate, if requested in writing by such
Person, a statement containing the information set forth in clauses (iii), (iv)
and (ix) of Section 5.04(a), in each case aggregated for such calendar year or
applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder.
Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the
extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the
Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time in force.
The Trustee shall deliver to the Holders of Certificates any reports
or information the Trustee is required by this Agreement or the Code, Treasury
Regulations or REMIC Provisions to deliver to the Holders of Certificates, and
the Trustee shall prepare and provide to the Certificateholders (by mail,
telephone, or publication as may be permitted by applicable Treasury
Regulations) such other reasonable information as the Trustee deems necessary or
appropriate or is required by the Code, Treasury Regulations, and the REMIC
Provisions including, but not limited to, (i) information to be reported to the
Holder of the Residual Certificate for quarterly notices on Schedule Q (Form
1066) (which information shall be forwarded to the Holder of the Residual
Certificate by the Trustee), (ii) information to be provided to the Holders of
Certificates with respect to amounts which should be included as interest and
original issue discount in such Holders' gross income and (iii) information to
be provided to all Holders of Certificates setting forth the percentage of each
REMIC's assets, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations using a
convention, not inconsistent with Treasury Regulations, selected by the Trustee
in its absolute discretion, that constitute real estate assets under Section 856
of the Code, and assets described in Section 7701(a)(19)(C) of the Code;
provided, however, that in setting forth the percentage of such assets of each
REMIC, nothing contained in this Agreement, including without limitation Section
7.03 hereof, shall be interpreted to require the Trustee periodically to
appraise the fair market values of the assets of the Trust Estate or to
indemnify the Trust Estate or any Certificateholders from any adverse federal,
state or local tax consequences associated with a change subsequently required
to be made in the Depositor's initial good faith determinations of such fair
market values (if subsequent determinations are required pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions) made from time to time.
For all purposes of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage
Loan, delinquencies shall be determined and reported based on the so-called
"MBA" methodology for determining delinquencies on mortgage loans similar to the
Mortgage Loans. By way of example, a Mortgage Loan would be delinquent with
respect to a Monthly Payment due on a Due Date if such Monthly Payment is not
made by the close of business on the Mortgage Loan's next succeeding Due Date,
and a Mortgage Loan would be more than 30-days delinquent with respect to such
Monthly Payment if such Monthly Payment were not made by the close of business
on the Mortgage Loan's second succeeding Due Date.
Section 5.05 Tax Returns and Reports to Certificateholders. (a) For
federal income tax purposes, each REMIC shall have a calendar year taxable year
and shall maintain its books on the accrual method of accounting.
(b) The Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared, shall execute
and shall file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service and
applicable state or local tax authorities income tax information returns for
each taxable year with respect to each REMIC containing such information at the
times and in the manner as may be required by the Code, the Treasury Regulations
or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and shall furnish or cause to
be furnished to each REMIC and the Certificateholders the schedules, statements
or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby.
Within 30 days of the Closing Date, the Trustee shall furnish or cause to be
furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or as otherwise required
by the Code or the Treasury Regulations, the name, title, address and telephone
number of the person that Holders of the Certificates may contact for tax
information relating thereto, together with such additional information at the
time or times and in the manner required by the Code or the Treasury
Regulations. Such 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, the Treasury Regulations or state or local tax laws,
regulations, or rules.
(c) In the first federal income tax return of each REMIC for its
short taxable year ending December 31, 2006, REMIC status shall be elected for
such taxable year and all succeeding taxable years.
(d) The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained such records
relating to each REMIC, including but not limited to records relating to the
income, expenses, assets and liabilities of the Trust Estate, and the initial
fair market value and adjusted basis of the Trust Estate property and assets
determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code or the Treasury
Regulations, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules,
statements or information.
Section 5.06 Tax Matters Person. The Tax Matters Person shall have
the same duties with respect to each REMIC as those of a "tax matters partner"
under Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of Subtitle F of the Code. The Holder of the
Class 1-CB-R Certificate is hereby designated as the Tax Matters Person for each
of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC. By its acceptance of the Class
1-CB-R Certificate, each such Holder irrevocably appoints the Trustee as its
agent to perform all of the duties of the Tax Matters Person for the Upper-Tier
REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC.
Section 5.07 Rights of the Tax Matters Person in Respect of the
Trustee. The Trustee shall afford the Tax Matters Person, upon reasonable notice
during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Trustee in
respect of its duties hereunder and access to officers of the Trustee
responsible for performing such duties. Upon request, the Trustee shall furnish
the Tax Matters Person with its most recent report of condition published
pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervisory or examining authority
publicly available. The Trustee shall make available to the Tax Matters Person
such books, documents or records relating to the Trustee's services hereunder as
the Tax Matters Person shall reasonably request. The Tax Matters Person shall
not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the
Trustee and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Trustee under
this Agreement or otherwise.
Section 5.08 REMIC Related Covenants. For as long as the Trust shall
exist, the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer shall act in accordance
herewith to assure continuing treatment of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the
Lower-Tier REMIC as REMICs and avoid the imposition of tax on either REMIC
created hereunder. In particular:
(a) The Trustee shall not create, or permit the creation of, any
"interests" in either REMIC created hereunder within the meaning of Code Section
860D(a)(2) other than the interests represented by the Regular Certificates, the
Components, the Residual Certificate and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier
Interests.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in the Code, (i) the Depositor and
the Servicer shall not contribute to the Trust Estate and the Trustee shall not
accept property unless substantially all of the property held in each REMIC
constitutes either "qualified mortgages" or "permitted investments" as defined
in Code Sections 860G(a)(3) and (5), respectively, and (ii) no property shall be
contributed to either REMIC created hereunder after the start-up day unless such
contribution would not subject the Trust Estate to the 100% tax on contributions
to a REMIC after the start-up day of a REMIC imposed by Code Section 860G(d).
(c) The Trustee shall not accept on behalf of either REMIC created
hereunder any fee or other compensation for services and neither the Trustee nor
the Servicer shall knowingly accept, on behalf of the Trust Estate any income
from assets other than those permitted to be held by a REMIC.
(d) The Trustee shall not sell or permit the sale of all or any
portion of the Mortgage Loans (other than in accordance with Section 2.02 or
2.04), unless such sale is pursuant to a "qualified liquidation" of the
applicable REMIC as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(4)(A) and in accordance with
Article X.
(e) The Trustee shall maintain books with respect to the Trust and
each REMIC on a calendar year taxable year and on an accrual basis.
Neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall engage in a "prohibited
transaction" (as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2)), except that, with the
prior written consent of the Servicer and the Depositor, the Trustee may engage
in the activities otherwise prohibited by the foregoing paragraphs (b), (c) and
(d); provided that the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that such transaction will not result in the imposition
of a tax on either of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC and will not
disqualify either REMIC created hereunder from treatment as a REMIC; and,
provided, further, that the Servicer shall have demonstrated to the satisfaction
of the Trustee that such action will not adversely affect the rights of the
Holders of the Certificates and the Trustee and that such action will not
adversely impact the rating of the Certificates.
Section 5.09 Determination of LIBOR. On each Rate Determination Date
for a LIBOR Component, the Trustee shall determine LIBOR for the applicable
Distribution Date on the basis of the British Bankers' Association ("BBA")
"Interest Settlement Rate" for one-month deposits in U.S. Dollars as found on
Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00 A.M. London time on such Rate Determination Date.
As used herein, "Telerate page 3750" means the display designated as page 3750
on the Reuters Telerate Service.
If on any Rate Determination Date for a LIBOR Component, the Trustee
is unable to determine LIBOR on the basis of the method set forth in the
preceding paragraph, LIBOR for the applicable Distribution Date will be
whichever is higher of (x) LIBOR as determined on the previous Rate
Determination Date for such LIBOR Component or (y) the Reserve Interest Rate.
The "Reserve Interest Rate" will be the rate per annum which the Trustee
determines to be either (A) the arithmetic mean (rounding such arithmetic mean
upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/16%) of the one-month
U.S. Dollar lending rates that New York City banks selected by the Trustee are
quoting, on the relevant Rate Determination Date, to the principal London
offices of at least two leading banks in the London interbank market or (B) in
the event that the Trustee can determine no such arithmetic mean, the lowest
one-month U.S. Dollar lending rate that the New York City banks selected by the
Trustee are quoting on such Rate Determination Date to leading European banks.
If on any Rate Determination Date for a LIBOR Component, the Trustee
is required but is unable to determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the manner
provided in the preceding paragraph, LIBOR for the applicable Distribution Date
will be LIBOR as determined on the previous Rate Determination Date for such
LIBOR Component, or, in the case of the first Rate Determination Date, 5.32%.
The establishment of LIBOR by the Trustee and the Trustee's
subsequent calculation of the rates of interest applicable to each of the LIBOR
Components in the absence of manifest error, will be final and binding. After a
Rate Determination Date, the Trustee shall provide the Pass-Through Rates of the
LIBOR Components for the related Distribution Date to Beneficial Owners or
Holders of LIBOR Certificates who place a telephone call to the Trustee at (301)
815-6600 and make a request therefor.
ARTICLE VI

X-X-0, X-00-XX, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0 and C (reverse of all Certificates)
and shall, on original issue, be executed by the Trustee and shall be
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to or upon the order of the Depositor
upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents specified in Section 2.01. The
Classes of Certificates shall be available to investors in the minimum
Denominations of initial Certificate Balance or initial notional amount and the
integral multiples in excess thereof as set forth in the Preliminary Statement.
The Senior Certificates (other than the Class 1-CB-R Certificate) and the Class
B-1, Class B-2, and Class B-3 Certificates shall initially be issued in
book-entry form through the Depository and delivered to the Depository or,
pursuant to the Depository's instructions on behalf of the Depository to, and
deposited with, the Certificate Custodian, and all other Classes of Certificates
shall initially be issued in definitive, fully-registered form.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer or signatory. Certificates
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time
when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee
shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them
have ceased to be so authorized prior to the execution and delivery of such
Certificates or did not hold such offices or positions at the date of such
Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless such Certificate shall have been
manually authenticated by the Trustee substantially in the form provided for
herein, 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 6.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at an office or agency in the city in
which the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located a Certificate
Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe,
the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers
and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee shall initially
serve as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and
transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
(b) At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates of authorized Denominations of a like Class,
tenor and aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to
be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the
exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for
transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing.
(c) (i) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(iii) below, the
Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the
Depository or its nominee and at all times: (A) registration of the Certificates
may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (B) the
Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate
Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry
Certificates; (C) ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry
Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable
rules established by the Depository; (D) the Depository may collect its usual
and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (E)
the Trustee shall deal with the Depository as the representative of the
Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the
rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and
votes of the Depository shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made
with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (F) the Trustee may rely and
shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository
with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository
Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on
the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate
Owners.
(ii) All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates
shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the
Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate
Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry
Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for
which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's normal
procedures.
(iii) If the Depository advises the Trustee in writing that the
Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository and the Trustee or the Depositor is unable
to locate a qualified successor, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate
Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of such event and of the
availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the "Definitive
Certificates") to such Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender to the Trustee of the related Class of Certificates by the
Depository (or by the Certificate Custodian, if it holds such Class on
behalf of the Depository), accompanied by the instructions from the
Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive
Certificates. None of the Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee shall be
liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and may conclusively
rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The
Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of
certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive
Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee
shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.
(d) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and any
applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and
such laws. In the event of any such transfer, (i) unless such transfer is made
in reliance on Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, the Trustee or the Depositor may
require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable
to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing
the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act and such laws
or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act and such laws, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor and (ii) the
Trustee shall require a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to
effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-1
and a certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee
substantially in the form attached hereto either as Exhibit G-2A or as Exhibit
G-2B, which certificates shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the
Depositor; provided that the foregoing requirements under clauses (i) and (ii)
shall not apply to a transfer of a Private Certificate between or among the
Depositor, the Seller, their affiliates or both. The Depositor shall provide to
any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferees designated
by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the
Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the
condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such
certificate without registration thereof under the 1933 Act pursuant to the
registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Holder of a Private
Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result if
the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.
(e) No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be made
unless the transferee delivers to the Trustee either (i) a representation letter
in the form of Exhibit H from the transferee of such Certificate, which
representation letter shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or
the Servicer, or (ii) in the case of any ERISA Restricted Certificate presented
for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan or arrangement,
including an individual retirement account, subject to ERISA, the Code, or any
federal, state or local law ("Similar Law") which is similar to ERISA or the
Code (collectively, a "Plan"), or a trustee or custodian of any of the
foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Servicer to the effect that the purchase or holding of such
ERISA Restricted Certificate by or on behalf of such Plan will not constitute or
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA,
Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law and will not subject the Trustee, the
Depositor or the Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in
this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee
or the Servicer. Any transferee of an ERISA Restricted Certificate that does not
comply with either clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence will be deemed
to have made one of the representations set forth in Exhibit H. For purposes of
clause (i) of the second preceding sentence, such representation shall be deemed
to have been made to the Certificate Registrar by the acceptance by a
Certificate Owner of a Book-Entry Certificate of the beneficial interest in any
such Class of ERISA Restricted Certificates, unless the Certificate Registrar
shall have received from the transferee an alternative representation acceptable
in form and substance to the Depositor. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate to or
on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Trustee and the Servicer of an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee and the Servicer as described
above shall be void and of no effect.
Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any
liability for transfers of Book-Entry Certificates made through the book-entry
facilities of the Depository or between or among any Depository Participants or
Certificate Owners, made in violation of applicable restrictions. The Trustee
may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by
the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the
Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and Persons
shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect
Certificate Owners.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not
limited to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for
any registration of transfer of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is in fact
not permitted by this Section 6.02 or for making any payments due on such
Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to
such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was
registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
(f) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in
the Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of
such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions,
and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in the Residual
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in the
Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly
notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a
Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in the Residual
Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided
interest.
(iii) In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership
Interest in the Residual Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery
to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of an affidavit in the
form of Exhibit I hereto from the proposed transferee.
(iv) Notwithstanding the delivery of an affidavit by a proposed
transferee under clause (iii) above, if a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a
Permitted Transferee, no transfer of any Ownership Interest in the
Residual Certificate to such proposed transferee shall be effected.
(v) No Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate may be
purchased by or transferred to any Person that is not a U.S. Person,
unless (A) such Person holds the Residual Certificate in connection with
the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and furnishes
the transferor and the Trustee with an effective Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8ECI (or successor thereto) or (B) the transferee delivers to both
the transferor and the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from a
nationally-recognized tax counsel to the effect that such transfer is in
accordance with the requirements of the Code and the regulations
promulgated thereunder and that such transfer of the Residual Certificate
will not be disregarded for federal income tax purposes.
(vi) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest
in the Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
6.02 shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall, in violation of
the provisions of this Section 6.02, become a Holder of the Residual
Certificate, then the prior Holder of the Residual Certificate that is a
Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of
transfer of the Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this
Section 6.02, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to
the date of registration of transfer of the Residual Certificate. The
Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of
transfer of the Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this
Section 6.02 or for making any distributions due on the Residual
Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect
to such Holder under the provisions of the Agreement so long as the
transfer was registered in accordance with this Section 6.02. The Trustee
shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of the Residual Certificate
that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions
were made all distributions made on the Residual Certificate. Any such
distributions so recovered by the Trustee shall be distributed and
delivered by the Trustee to the prior Holder of the Residual Certificate
that is a Permitted Transferee.
(vii) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any
Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate in violation of the
restrictions in this Section 6.02, then the Trustee, based on information
provided to the Trustee by the Servicer, will provide to the Internal
Revenue Service, and to the Persons specified in Section 860E(e)(3) and
(6) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under
Section 860E(e) of the Code on transfers of residual interests to
disqualified organizations. The expenses of the Trustee under this clause
(vii) shall be reimbursable by the Trust.
(viii) No Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate shall be
acquired by a Plan or any Person acting on behalf of a Plan.
(g) No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange
of Certificates of any Class, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(h) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be
destroyed by the Certificate Registrar.
Section 6.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If
(a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or the
Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee, the
Depositor and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to each, to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of
actual notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate
has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee 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, Class and Percentage
Interest but bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. Upon the
issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees
and expenses of the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith.
Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute
complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally
issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found
at any time.
Section 6.04 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any
Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of
receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.01 and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar or any agent of the Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
ARTICLE VII
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICER
Section 7.01 Respective Liabilities of the Depositor and the
Servicer. The Depositor and the Servicer shall each be liable in accordance
herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and respectively
imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor and the Servicer herein. By way of
illustration and not limitation, the Depositor is not liable for the servicing
and administration of the Mortgage Loans, nor is it obligated by Section 8.01 to
assume any obligations of the Servicer or to appoint a designee to assume such
obligations, nor is it liable for any other obligation hereunder that it may,
but is not obligated to, assume unless it elects to assume such obligation in
accordance herewith.
Section 7.02 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 separate entity under the laws governing
its organization, and will each obtain and preserve its qualification to do
business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger 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, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that
(a) the successor or surviving Person to the Servicer shall be qualified to
service mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and (b) the
Servicer and such successor or surviving Person shall notify the Depositor and
the Trustee of any such merger, conversion or consolidation at least two
Business Days prior to the effective date thereof and shall provide the
Depositor and the Trustee with all information required by the Depositor to
comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K not later than
the effective date of such merger, conversion or consolidation.
Section 7.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer
and Others. None of the Depositor, the Servicer or any of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or of the Servicer shall be under
any liability to the Trust Estate 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, the Servicer or any such Person against any
breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which would
otherwise be 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 Depositor, the Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Servicer may rely in good
faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by
any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer
and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Servicer
shall be indemnified by the Trust Estate and held harmless against any loss,
liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to
this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense
related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such
loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this
Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties
hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder. Neither of the Depositor nor the Servicer shall be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not
incidental to its respective duties under this Agreement and which in its
opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the
Depositor or the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which
it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights
and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Estate, and the Depositor and the Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans on deposit
in the Servicer Custodial Account as provided by Section 3.11.
Section 7.04 Depositor and Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the
provisions of Section 7.02, neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall resign
from its respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon
determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law or, in the case of the Servicer, pursuant to Section 7.05. Any
such determination permitting the resignation of the Depositor or the Servicer
shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the
Trustee. No such resignation by the Servicer shall become effective until the
Trustee or a successor Servicer shall have assumed the Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations in accordance with Section 8.05 hereof.
Section 7.05 Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Servicer. The
Servicer shall have the right to assign its rights and delegate its duties and
obligations hereunder; provided, however, that (i) the purchaser or transferee
accepting such assignment or delegation is qualified to service mortgage loans
for Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, is satisfactory to the Trustee, in the exercise
of its reasonable judgment, and executes and delivers to the Trustee an
agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which
contains an assumption by such purchaser or transferee of the due and punctual
performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or
observed by the Servicer hereunder from and after the date of such agreement;
and (ii) each applicable Rating Agency's rating of any Certificates in effect
immediately prior to such assignment, sale or transfer is not reasonably likely
to be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale or
transfer and the Certificates are not reasonably likely to be placed on credit
review status by any such Rating Agency. In no case, however, shall any
permitted assignment and delegation relieve the Servicer of any liability to the
Trustee or the Depositor under this Agreement, incurred by it prior to the time
that the conditions contained in clauses (i) and (ii) above are met.
ARTICLE VIII
DEFAULT
Section 8.01 Events of Default. If any one of the following events
("Events of Default") shall occur and be continuing:
(a) any failure by the Servicer to deposit amounts in the Servicer
Custodial Account in the amount and manner provided herein so as to enable the
Trustee to distribute to Holders of Certificates any payment required to be made
under the terms of such Certificates and this Agreement (other than the payments
required to be made under Section 3.20) which continues unremedied for a period
of five days; or
(b) failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform
in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set
forth in the Certificates or in this Agreement, which covenants and agreements
continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written
notice of such 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
Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Voting
Rights aggregating not less than 25% of all Certificates affected thereby; or
(c) the entry of a decree or order by a court or agency or
supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of
a conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings against the
Servicer, or for the winding up or liquidation of the Servicer's affairs, and
the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period
of 60 consecutive days; or
(d) the consent by the Servicer 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 substantially all of its property; or the Servicer shall
admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due,
file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization
statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily
suspend payment of its obligations; or
(e) the failure of the Servicer to remit any Periodic Advance
required to be remitted by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.20 which failure
continues unremedied at 3:00 p.m. on the related Distribution Date;
then, and in each and every such case (other than the Event of Default described
in clause (e) hereof), so long as an Event of Default shall not have been
remedied by the Servicer, the Trustee may, and at the direction of the Holders
of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights aggregating not less than 51% of all
Certificates affected thereby shall, by notice then given in writing to the
Servicer (and to the Depositor), terminate all of the rights and obligations of
the Servicer under this Agreement. If an Event of Default described in clause
(e) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice to the Servicer, terminate
all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in
and to the Mortgage Loans and proceeds thereof (other than the Servicer's right
to recovery of the aggregate Servicing Fees due prior to the date of termination
and other expenses and amounts advanced pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
which rights the Servicer will retain under all circumstances) and the Trustee
or a successor Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 8.05 shall make the
Advance which the Servicer failed to make. On or after the receipt by the
Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under
this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans
or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under
this Section 8.01, unless and until such time as the Trustee shall appoint a
successor Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05, and, without limitation, the
Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement of the Mortgage Loans and related
documents, or otherwise, including, without limitation, the recordation of the
assignments of the Mortgage Loans to it. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of
the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the
Trustee for the administration by it of all cash amounts that have been
deposited by the Servicer in the Servicer Custodial Account or thereafter
received by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Upon obtaining
notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Person
obtaining such notice or knowledge shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register and to each Rating Agency. All costs and expenses (including attorneys'
fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage Files to the
successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as
Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall be paid by the predecessor
Servicer. Notwithstanding the termination of the Servicer pursuant hereto, the
Servicer shall remain liable for any causes of action arising out of any Event
of Default occurring prior to such termination.
Section 8.02 Remedies of Trustee. During the continuance of any
Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied,
the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 8.01, shall have the
right, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now
or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and
remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of
the Certificateholders (including the institution and prosecution of all
judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim
and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of
any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition
to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy
shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any
Event of Default.
Section 8.03 Directions by Certificateholders and Duties of Trustee
During Event of Default. During the continuance of any Event of Default, Holders
of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights aggregating not less than 25% of each
Class of Certificates affected thereby may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such
remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this
Agreement (including, without limitation, (a) the conducting or defending of any
administrative action or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, and (b) the
terminating of the Servicer or any successor Servicer from its rights and duties
as servicer hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, 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; and, provided, further,
that, subject to the provisions of Section 9.01, the Trustee shall have the
right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, based upon an
Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not
lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or
proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly
prejudicial to the non-assenting Certificateholders.
Section 8.04 Action upon Certain Failures of the Servicer and upon
Event of Default. In the event that the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of
any failure of the Servicer specified in Section 8.01(a) or (b) which would
become an Event of Default upon the Servicer's failure to remedy the same after
notice, the Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Servicer. If the Trustee
shall have knowledge of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall give prompt
written notice thereof to the Certificateholders.
Section 8.05 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a) Within 90
days after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to
Section 8.01, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer
in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth
or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties
and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and
provisions hereof or shall appoint a successor pursuant to Section 3.07.
Notwithstanding the foregoing (i) the parties hereto agree that the Trustee, in
its capacity as successor Servicer, immediately will assume all of the
obligations of the Servicer to make Advances, (ii) the Trustee in its capacity
as successor Servicer, shall not be responsible for the lack of information
and/or documents that it cannot obtain through reasonable efforts and (iii)
under no circumstances shall any provision of this Agreement be construed to
require the Trustee, acting in its capacity as successor to the Servicer in its
obligation to make Advances, to advance, expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties
hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that such funds are
non-recoverable. Subject to Section 8.05(b), as compensation therefor, the
Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the terminated Servicer would
have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given.
Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act,
or shall, if it is legally unable so to 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 $10,000,000 as the successor to
the terminated Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder; provided,
however, that any such institution appointed as successor Servicer shall not, as
evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency, adversely affect the then current
rating of any Class of Certificates immediately prior to the termination of the
terminated Servicer. The appointment of a successor Servicer shall not affect
any liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this
Agreement prior to its termination as Servicer, nor shall any successor Servicer
be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer or for any
breach by the Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained
herein or in any related document or agreement. Pending appointment of a
successor to the terminated Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited
by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as provided above.
The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. All
Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon
presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor
Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid
by the successor Servicer or the Trustee (in which case the successor Servicer
or the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of
the Trust).
(b) In connection with the appointment of a successor Servicer or
the assumption of the duties of the Servicer, as specified in Section 8.05(a),
the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor
out of the payments on the Mortgage Loans serviced by the predecessor Servicer
as it and such successor shall agree, not to exceed the Servicing Fee Rate.
(c) Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Servicer as
servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer maintain in force (i)
a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the
performance of its obligations as servicer hereunder and (ii) a fidelity bond in
respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Servicer
is so required pursuant to Section 3.03.
(d) The predecessor Servicer and successor Servicer shall notify the
Depositor and Trustee of any such appointment at least two Business Days prior
to the effective date thereof and shall provide the Depositor and the Trustee
with all information required by the Depositor to comply with its reporting
obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K not later than the effective date of such
appointment.
Section 8.06 Notification to Certificateholders. Upon any
termination or appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to this
Article VIII, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register and to each Rating Agency.
ARTICLE IX
THE TRUSTEE
Section 9.01 Duties of Trustee. (a) The Trustee, prior to the
occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events
of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only
such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of
Default has occurred of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
actual knowledge (which has not been cured or waived), 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 its exercise as a reasonably prudent
investor would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such
investor's own affairs.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement.
(b) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly
negligent failure to act or its own willful misfeasance; provided, however,
that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the
curing or waiver 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 by the Depositor or the Servicer and which on
their face, do not contradict the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee (in its individual capacity) shall not be
personally 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 grossly negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts;
(iii) The Trustee (in its individual capacity) shall not be
personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to
be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of
Certificateholders as provided in Section 8.03;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default
(other than a default in payment to the Trustee) specified in clauses (a)
and (b) of Section 8.01 or an Event of Default under clauses (c), (d) and
(e) of Section 8.01 unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned
to and working in the Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of
such failure or event or any officer of the Trustee receives written
notice of such failure or event at its Corporate Trust Office from the
Servicer, the Depositor or any Certificateholder; and
(v) Except to the extent provided in Section 8.05, no provision in
this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
(including, without limitation, the making of any Advance as successor
Servicer) or otherwise incur any personal financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties as Trustee hereunder, or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if the Trustee shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of funds or adequate indemnity
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
Section 9.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 9.01:
(i) The Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's
Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal,
bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any 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 Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) 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;
nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the
obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been
cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it
by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise as a prudent investor would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such investor's own affairs;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it
by this Agreement;
(v) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and
after the curing or waiving 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 so to do by
Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to such Class,
Percentage Interests, aggregating not less than 50%; 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 or payment of such estimated expenses as a condition to so
proceeding; and
(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys.
Section 9.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the execution
of, and the authentication of the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements
of the Depositor or Servicer, as applicable, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to
the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or any
Mortgage Loans save that the Trustee represents that, assuming due execution and
delivery by the other parties hereto, this Agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding
obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject, as to
enforcement of remedies, to applicable insolvency, receivership, moratorium and
other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and to general
principles of equity and the discretion of the court (regardless of whether
enforcement of such remedies is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor
of funds paid to the Depositor in consideration of the assignment of the
Mortgage Loans hereunder by the Depositor, or for the use or application of any
funds paid to Subservicers or the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or
deposited into the Servicer Custodial Account, or any other account hereunder
(other than the Certificate Account) by the Servicer.
The Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability
for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage
or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the
maintenance of any such perfection and priority or for or with respect to the
sufficiency of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be
distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without
limitation: the existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgaged Property;
the existence and enforceability of any hazard insurance thereon (other than if
the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05 and
thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the successor Servicer); the
validity of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any
intervening assignment; the completeness of any Mortgage Loan; the performance
or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other than if the Trustee shall assume the
duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05 and thereupon only for the acts
or omissions of the Trustee as successor Servicer); the compliance by the
Depositor or the Servicer with any warranty or representation made under this
Agreement or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or
representation; any investment of monies by or at the direction of the Servicer
or any loss resulting therefrom, it being understood that the Trustee shall
remain responsible for any Trust property that it may hold in its individual
capacity; the acts or omissions of any of the Depositor, the Servicer (other
than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section
8.05 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor
Servicer), any Subservicer or any Mortgagor; any action of the Servicer (other
than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section
8.05 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor
Servicer) or any Subservicer taken in the name of the Trustee; the failure of
the Servicer or any Subservicer to act or perform any duties required of it as
agent of the Trustee hereunder; or any action by the Trustee taken at the
instruction of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties
of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05 and thereupon only for the acts or
omissions of the Trustee as successor Servicer); provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties
under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Trustee's review of the
Mortgage Files pursuant to Section 2.02. The Trustee shall file any financing or
continuation statement in any public office at any time required to maintain the
perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder.
Section 9.04 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 and may otherwise deal
with the Servicer, any Subservicer or any of their respective affiliates with
the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee.
Section 9.05 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee
hereunder shall at all times be (a) an institution the deposits of which are
fully insured by the FDIC and (b) a corporation or banking association organized
and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any
State, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a
combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to
supervision or examination by Federal or State authority and (c) with respect to
every successor trustee hereunder either an institution (i) the long-term
unsecured debt obligations of which are rated at least "A" by Fitch and at least
"A2" by Xxxxx'x or (ii) whose serving as Trustee hereunder would not result in
the lowering of the ratings originally assigned to any Class of Certificates.
The Trustee shall not be an affiliate of the Depositor or the Servicer. If such
corporation or banking association publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 9.05, the combined
capital and surplus of such corporation or banking association shall be deemed
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provision of this Section 9.05, the Trustee
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section
9.06.
Section 9.06 Resignation and Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at
any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving
written notice thereof to the Servicer and mailing a copy of such notice to all
Holders of record. The Trustee shall also mail a copy of such notice of
resignation to each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation,
the Servicer shall use its best efforts to promptly appoint a mutually
acceptable successor 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. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and
shall have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice
of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 9.05 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a 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 Servicer
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.
The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 50% of the
Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee by written instrument or
instruments delivered to the Servicer and the Trustee; the Servicer shall
thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a mutually acceptable successor
Trustee in accordance with this Section 9.06.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.06 shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as
provided in Section 9.07.
Section 9.07 Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed as
provided in Section 9.06 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer
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 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 like effect as if originally
named as Trustee herein. The predecessor Trustee shall duly assign, transfer,
deliver and pay over to the successor Trustee the whole of the Mortgage Files
and related documents and statements held by it hereunder, together with all
instruments of transfer and assignment or other documents properly executed as
may be reasonably required to effect such transfer and such of the records or
copies thereof maintained by the predecessor Trustee in the administration
hereof as may be reasonably requested by the successor Trustee and shall
thereupon be discharged from all duties and responsibilities under this
Agreement (other than pursuant to Section 3.19 hereunder). All costs associated
with the appointment of a successor Trustee shall be paid to the Person that
incurred them by the predecessor Trustee. Without limiting the predecessor
Trustee's obligation, if the predecessor Trustee fails to pay such costs, such
costs shall be reimbursed by the Trust; provided, however, that if the
predecessor Trustee has been terminated pursuant to the third paragraph of
Section 9.06, all reasonable expenses incurred in complying with this Section
9.07 shall be reimbursed by the Trust to the Person that incurred them.
No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 9.07 unless at the time of such appointment such successor Trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.05.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in
this Section 9.07, the Servicer shall cooperate to mail notice of the succession
of such Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as
shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency. If the Servicer
fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at
the expense of the Servicer.
The predecessor Trustee and successor Trustee shall notify the
Depositor of any such appointment at least two Business Days prior to the
effective date thereof and shall provide the Depositor with all information
required by the Depositor to comply with its reporting obligation under Item
6.02 of Form 8-K not later than the effective date of such appointment.
Section 9.08 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any corporation or
banking association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or banking association
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee
shall be a party, or any corporation or banking association succeeding to all or
substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, if such corporation or banking association
is eligible under the provisions of Section 9.05, 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
Trustee and such surviving Person shall notify the Depositor of any such merger,
conversion or consolidation and shall provide the Depositor with all information
required by the Depositor to comply with its reporting obligation under Item
6.02 of Form 8-K not later than the effective date of such merger, conversion or
consolidation.
Section 9.09 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of
meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any Mortgaged
Property may at the time be located or for any other reason, the Servicer and
the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver
all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee as
co-trustee or separate trustee of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to
vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust
Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provision of this Section
9.09, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and
the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have
joined in such appointment within ten days after the receipt by it of a request
to do so, 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 9.05 and no notice to Holders
of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall
be required under Section 9.07.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 9.09, all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed (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 Estate 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. No
trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee hereunder; provided, however, that no appointment
of a co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall relieve the Trustee of its
obligations hereunder.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article IX. 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. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, or shall be adjudged
bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of its property shall be appointed, or any
public officer shall take charge or control of such trustee or co-trustee or of
its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall
vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without
the appointment of a new or successor trustee.
Section 9.10 Authenticating Agents. The Trustee may appoint one or
more authenticating agents ("Authenticating Agents") which shall be authorized
to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating Certificates. Initially, the
Authenticating Agent shall be Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. 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 acceptable to the
Servicer and must be a corporation or banking association organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having
a place of business in New York, New York, 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.
Any corporation or banking association into which any Authenticating
Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any
corporation or banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any
corporation or banking association 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.
Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written
notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Servicer. The Trustee may at any
time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice
of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Servicer. Upon receiving
a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case, at any time any
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 9.10, the Trustee may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the
Servicer and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders.
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.
Section 9.11 Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The Trustee, as
compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be entitled to receive on each
Distribution Date an amount equal to the Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date
pursuant to Section 5.02(a). The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against
any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) (a)
incurred in connection with any claim or legal action relating to (i) this
Agreement, (ii) the Certificates, or (iii) the performance of any of the
Trustee's duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred
by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of any of the Trustee's duties hereunder, (b) resulting from any tax
or information return which was prepared by, or should have been prepared by,
the Servicer and (c) arising out of the transfer of any ERISA Restricted
Certificate or Residual Certificate not in compliance with ERISA. Such indemnity
shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of
the Trustee hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise
agreed upon in writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee's gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, the Trust shall reimburse the
Trustee for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made
by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement to the
extent permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) and (iii);
provided, however, that the Depositor and the Trustee intend to enter into a
separate agreement for custody-related services. Except as otherwise provided
herein, the Trustee shall not be entitled to payment or reimbursement for any
routine ongoing expenses incurred by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its
duties as Trustee, Certificate Registrar or Paying Agent hereunder or for any
other expenses.
Section 9.12 Appointment of Custodian. The Trustee may at any time
on or after the Closing Date, with the consent of the Depositor and the
Servicer, appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the
Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a custodial agreement
in a form acceptable to the Depositor and the Servicer. Subject to this Article
IX, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each custodial agreement and
to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the
benefit of the Certificateholders. Each Custodian shall be a depository
institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have a
combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and shall be qualified to
do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Trustee appoints
one or more Custodians with respect to more than 5% of the aggregate Pool Stated
Principal Balance, the Trustee shall cause such Custodian to prepare a separate
assessment and attestation report, as contemplated by Section 3.19 of this
Agreement and deliver such report to the Trustee as set forth in Section 3.22 of
this Agreement.
Section 9.13 Paying Agents. The Trustee may appoint one or more
Paying Agents (each, a "Paying Agent") which shall be authorized to act on
behalf of the Trustee in making withdrawals from the Certificate Account and
distributions to Certificateholders as provided in Section 3.08 and Section
5.02. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the withdrawal from the
Certificate Account by the Trustee, such reference shall be deemed to include
such a withdrawal on behalf of the Trustee by a Paying Agent. Initially, the
Paying Agent shall be Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. Whenever reference is made in this
Agreement to a distribution by the Trustee or the furnishing of a statement to
Certificateholders by the Trustee, such reference shall be deemed to include
such a distribution or furnishing on behalf of the Trustee by a Paying Agent.
Each Paying Agent shall provide to the Trustee such information concerning the
Certificate Account as the Trustee shall request from time to time. Each Paying
Agent must be reasonably acceptable to the Servicer and must be a corporation or
banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States of America or of any state, having (except in the case of the Trustee) a
principal office and place of business in New York, New York, 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.
Any corporation into which any Paying Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Paying Agent shall be
a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of any
Paying Agent, shall continue to be the Paying Agent, provided that such
corporation after the consummation of such merger, conversion, consolidation or
succession meets the eligibility requirements of this Section 9.13.
Any Paying Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of
resignation to the Trustee and to the Servicer; provided that the Paying Agent
has returned to the Certificate Account or otherwise accounted, to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee, for all amounts it has withdrawn from
the Certificate Account. The Trustee may, upon prior written approval of the
Servicer, at any time terminate the agency of any Paying Agent by giving written
notice of termination to such Paying Agent and to the Servicer. Upon receiving a
notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any
Paying Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of the
first paragraph of this Section 9.13, the Trustee may appoint, upon prior
written approval of the Servicer, a successor Paying Agent, shall give written
notice of such appointment to the Servicer and shall mail notice of such
appointment to all Certificateholders. Any successor Paying Agent upon
acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all rights,
powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like
effect as if originally named as Paying Agent. The Trustee shall remain liable
for any duties and obligations assumed by its appointed Paying Agent.
Section 9.14 Limitation of Liability. The Certificates are executed
by the Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee of the
Trust, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it by
this Agreement. Each of the undertakings and agreements made on the part of the
Trustee in the Certificates is made and intended not as a personal undertaking
or agreement by the Trustee but is made and intended for the purpose of binding
only the Trust.
Section 9.15 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
Certificates. All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the
Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any
proceeding relating thereto, and such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall
be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee. Any recovery of
judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursement and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be
for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect of which such
judgment has been recovered.
Section 9.16 Suits for Enforcement. In case an Event of Default or
other default by the Servicer or the Depositor hereunder shall occur and be
continuing, the Trustee, in its discretion, may proceed to protect and enforce
its rights and the rights of the Holders of Certificates under this Agreement by
a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the
specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or
in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the
enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee, being
advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the
rights of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.
Section 9.17 Waiver of Bond Requirement. The Trustee shall be
relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any requirement of any
jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part thereof, may be located that the
Trustee post a bond or other surety with any court, agency or body whatsoever.
Section 9.18 Waiver of Inventory, Accounting and Appraisal
Requirement. The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby
waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part
thereof, may be located that the Trustee file any inventory, accounting or
appraisal of the Trust with any court, agency or body at any time or in any
manner whatsoever.
ARTICLE X
TERMINATION
Section 10.01 Termination upon Purchase by the Depositor or
Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans. Subject to Section 10.02, the respective
obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee
created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain
payments to Certificateholders after the Final Distribution Date and to send
certain notices as hereinafter set forth and the obligations of the Trustee
pursuant to Sections 5.04(b) and 5.05(b)) shall terminate upon the last action
required to be taken by the Trustee on the Final Distribution Date pursuant to
this Article X following the earlier of (a) the purchase by the Depositor of all
Mortgage Loans and all REO Property remaining in the Trust Estate at a price
equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan (other than any Mortgage Loan as to which REO Property has been acquired
and whose fair market value is included pursuant to clause (ii) below), (ii) the
fair market value of such REO Property, plus any Class Unpaid Interest Shortfall
for any Class of Certificates and Component Unpaid Interest Shortfall for any
Component as well as one month's interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate
on the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Mortgage
Loan as to which REO Property has been acquired) and (iii) any Reimbursement
Amount owed to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.04 or (b) the final payment or
other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the Trust Estate or the disposition of all REO Property.
Regardless of the foregoing, 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. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.
The right of the Depositor to repurchase all of the Mortgage Loans
is conditioned upon (A) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of such Final Distribution Date being less than 10% of the aggregate
Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance and (B) the sum of clauses (a)(i) and (ii)
of the second preceding paragraph being less than or equal to the aggregate fair
market value of the Mortgage Loans (other than any Mortgage Loan as to which REO
Property has been acquired) and the REO Properties; provided, however, that this
clause (B) shall not apply to any purchase by the Depositor if, at the time of
the purchase, the Depositor is no longer subject to regulation by the OCC, the
FDIC, the Federal Reserve or the OTS. Fair market value for purposes of this
paragraph and the second preceding paragraph will be determined by the Depositor
as of the close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date
upon which notice of any such termination is furnished to Certificateholders
pursuant to the fourth paragraph of this Article X. If such right is exercised,
the Trustee shall, promptly following payment of the purchase price, release to
the Depositor or its designee the Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage
Loans being purchased.
Notice of any termination, specifying the Final Distribution Date
(which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which
the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for
payment of the final distribution and for cancellation, shall be given promptly
by the Depositor (if exercising its right to purchase the assets of the Trust)
or by the Trustee (in any other case) by letter to Certificateholders mailed not
earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next
preceding the month of such final distribution specifying (1) the Final
Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office or agency of the
Trustee therein designated, (2) the amount of any such final payment and (3)
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 therein specified. If the
Depositor is obligated to give notice to Certificateholders as aforesaid, it
shall give such notice to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar at the time
such notice is given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given by
the Depositor, the Depositor shall deposit in the Certificate Account on or
before the Final Distribution Date in immediately available funds an amount
equal to the amount necessary to make the amount, if any, on deposit in the
Certificate Account on the Final Distribution Date equal to the purchase price
for the related assets of the Trust computed as above provided together with a
statement as to the amount to be distributed on each Class of Certificates
pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph. Not less than five (5) Business Days
prior to the Final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor of
the amount of any unpaid Reimbursement Amount owed to the Trust and the
Depositor shall deposit such amount in the Certificate Account not later than
the Business Day preceding the Final Distribution Date.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee
shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders of each Class, in the order
set forth in Section 5.02 hereof, on the Final Distribution Date and in
proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to
Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (I) as to each Class of
Certificates, the Class Certificate Balance thereof plus (a) accrued interest
thereon in the case of an interest bearing Certificate and (b) the applicable PO
Deferred Amount with respect to the PO Components, and (II) as to the Class
1-CB-R Certificate, the amounts, if any, which remain on deposit (or are deemed
to remain on deposit) in the Upper-Tier Certificate Sub-Account and the
Certificate Account, respectively (other than the amounts retained to meet
claims) after application pursuant to clause (I) above. An amount shall be
distributed in respect of interest and principal to the Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interests in the same manner as principal and interest are
distributed to the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests as provided in Section
5.02.
If all of the Certificateholders do not surrender their Certificates
for final payment and cancellation on or before the Final Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall on such date cause all funds in the Certificate Account not
distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders of such Group to
continue to be held by the Trustee in an Eligible Account for the benefit of
such Certificateholders and the Depositor (if it exercised its right to purchase
the assets of the Trust Estate) or the Trustee (in any other case) shall give a
second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the applicable
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may
take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to
contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds on deposit in
such Eligible Account.
Section 10.02 Additional Termination Requirements. (a) If the
Depositor exercises its purchase option as provided in Section 10.01, the Trust
shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements,
unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
failure of the Trust to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.02 will
not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the
Trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause the Trust Estate to
fail to qualify as two separate REMICs at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding:
(i) within 90 days prior to the Final Distribution Date set forth in
the notice given by the Depositor under Section 10.01, the Trustee shall
sell all of the assets of the Trust Estate to the Depositor for cash; and
(ii) the notice given by the Depositor or the Trustee pursuant to
Section 10.01 shall provide that such notice constitutes the adopting of a
plan of complete liquidation of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier
REMIC as of the date of such notice (or, if earlier, the date on which
such notice was mailed to Certificateholders). The Trustee shall also
specify such date in the final tax returns of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the
Lower-Tier REMIC.
(b) By its acceptance of the Residual Certificate, the Holder
thereof hereby agrees to take such other action in connection with such plan of
complete liquidation as may be reasonably requested by the Depositor.
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 11.01 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to
time by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of any
of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct
or supplement any provisions herein or therein which may be inconsistent with
any other provisions of this Agreement, any amendment to this Agreement or the
related Prospectus Supplement, (iii) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its
provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of
the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC as REMICs at all times that any
Certificates are outstanding or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition
of any tax on each REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against the
Trust Estate, provided that (a) the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such
qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax
and (b) such action shall not, as evidenced by such Opinion of Counsel,
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder,
(iv) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits into the Certificate Account
(and deemed deposits into the Upper-Tier Certificate Sub-Account), provided,
that (a) such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder and (b)
such change shall not adversely affect the then-current rating of the Senior,
Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class B-5 Certificates, as
evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates to such
effect, (v) to reduce the percentage of the aggregate Cut-off Date Pool
Principal Balance at which the Depositor will have the option to purchase all
the remaining Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 10.01, provided that
such reduction is considered necessary by the Depositor, as evidenced by an
Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee, to preserve the treatment of the
transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor by the Seller or to the Trust by
the Depositor as sale for accounting purposes, and (vi) 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 action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder, provided that the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders and no
Opinion of Counsel to that effect shall be required if the Person requesting the
amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that the amendment
would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then
assigned to the Certificates.
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 of each Class of Certificates which is affected by such amendment,
evidencing, as to each such Class of Certificates, Percentage Interests
aggregating not less than 66-2/3%, for the purpose of adding any provisions to
or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement
or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of such Certificates;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall (A) reduce in any manner the
amount of, or delay the timing of, collections of payments on Mortgage Loans or
distributions which are required to be made on any Certificate without the
consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (B) reduce the aforesaid percentage
required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of
all Certificates then Outstanding.
Prior to the solicitation of consent of Certificateholders in
connection with any such amendment, the party seeking such amendment shall
furnish the Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment
would not subject either of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to any
tax or cause either of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall
have first received such Opinion of Counsel.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent the
Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of or a copy of such
amendment to each Certificateholder and to each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to
such reasonable requirements as the Trustee may prescribe.
Section 11.02 Recordation of Agreement. This Agreement is subject to
recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all
the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the
properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate
public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the
Servicer and at its expense on direction by the Trustee, who will act at the
direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 50% of all Voting
Rights, but only upon direction of the Trustee accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects
the interests of Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.
Section 11.03 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death
or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or the Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
commence any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust,
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
provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management
of the Trust, 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 or by availing
itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement,
unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice
of default and of the continuance thereof, as provided herein, and unless also
the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 25% of each Class of Certificates affected thereby shall have made written
request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own
name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of
such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to
institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended,
and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or
themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek
to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce
any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the
equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection
and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 11.03, each and every
Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be
given either at law or in equity.
Section 11.04 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN

shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, at the address of such
Holder as shown in the Certificate Register. Any notice so mailed within the
time prescribed in this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been
duly given, whether or not the Certificateholder receives such notice.
Section 11.06 Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any
reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or
terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Certificates
or the rights of the Holders thereof.
Section 11.07 Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid. It is the
intention of the Trustee that Certificateholders shall not be personally liable
for obligations of the Trust Estate, that the beneficial ownership interests
represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any losses or
expenses of the Trust Estate or for any reason whatsoever, and that Certificates
upon execution, authentication and delivery thereof by the Trustee pursuant to
Section 6.01 are and shall be deemed fully paid.
Section 11.08 Access to List of Certificateholders. The Certificate
Registrar will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee, within 15 days
after the receipt of a request by the Trustee in writing, a list, in such form
as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the
Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date for payment of
distributions to Certificateholders.
If three or more Certificateholders apply in writing to the Trustee,
and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other
Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under
the Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such
applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business
Days after the receipt of such application, afford such applicants access during
normal business hours to the most recent list of Certificateholders held by the
Trustee. If such a list is as of a date more than 90 days prior to the date of
receipt of such applicants' request, the Trustee shall promptly request from the
Certificate Registrar a current list as provided above, and shall afford such
applicants access to such list promptly upon receipt.
Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding such list, agrees
with the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee that neither the Certificate
Registrar nor the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure
of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders
hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 11.09 Recharacterization. The parties to this Agreement
intend the conveyance by the Depositor to the Trustee of all of its right, title
and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement to
constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to
the extent that such conveyance is held not to constitute a sale under
applicable law, it is intended 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 and to the Mortgage Loans.
Section 11.10 Insolvency. The Servicer, Depositor and Trustee shall
each notify the Depositor and the Trustee of any of the events enumerated in
Item 1.03 of Form 8-K with respect to any of the Servicer, Depositor or Trustee
at least two Business Days prior to the effective date thereof and shall provide
the Depositor and the Trustee with all information required by the Depositor to
comply with its reporting obligation under Item 1.03 of Form 8-K not later than
the effective date of any such event.
Section 11.11 Regulation AB Compliance; Intent of Parties;
Reasonableness. The parties hereto acknowledge that interpretations of the
requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive
guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff,
consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of
counsel, or otherwise, and agree to comply with requests made by the Depositor
in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of
evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with the Trust, the
Servicer and the Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Depositor to deliver to
the Depositor (including its assignees or designees), any and all statements,
reports, certifications, records and any other information available to such
party and reasonably necessary in the good faith determination of the Depositor
to permit the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together
with such disclosures relating to the Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable,
reasonably believed by the Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such
compliance.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee have
caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective officers thereunto
duly authorized to be hereunto affixed, all as of the day and year first above
written.

Certificateholder entitled to receive a distribution on such Distribution Date
at the address appearing in the Certificate Register, or (b) upon written
request by the Holder of a Regular Certificate, by wire transfer or by such
other means of payment as such Certificateholder and the Trustee shall agree
upon, such Certificateholder's Percentage Interest in the amount to which the
related Class of Certificates is entitled in accordance with the priorities set
forth in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The final
distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate to the Trustee as contemplated by
Section 10.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions
therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicer and
the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates affected by such
amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is
registrable in the Certificate Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this
Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such
Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the
same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee
and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Certificate Registrar, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.
On any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
is less than 10% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance, the Depositor
will have the option to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust all remaining
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans at a
purchase price determined as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The 10% may be reduced by an amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
without Certificateholder consent under certain conditions set forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event that no such optional repurchase
occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement will terminate upon the later of the maturity or other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust or the disposition of all property in respect thereof and
the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event shall the Trust
created by the Pooling and Servicing 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. Xxxxx,
living on the date thereof.
Any term used herein that is defined in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement shall have the meaning assigned in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed.

ANNEX 1 TO EXHIBIT G-2A
QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER STATUS UNDER SEC RULE 144A
[For Transferees Other Than Registered Investment Companies]
The undersigned hereby certifies as follows to [__________________] (the

institution organized under the laws of any state, U.S. territory
or the District of Columbia, the business of which is
substantially confined to banking and is supervised by the state
or territorial banking commission or similar official or is a

net worth of at least $25,000,000 as demonstrated in its latest
annual financial statements, a copy of which is attached hereto,

not more than 18 months preceding such date of sale in the case
of a foreign bank or equivalent institution.
___ Savings and Loan. The Transferee (a) is a savings and loan
association, building and loan association, cooperative bank,
homestead association or similar institution, which is supervised
and examined by a state or federal authority having supervision
over any such institutions, or is a foreign savings and loan
association or equivalent institute and (b) has an audited net
worth of at least $25,000,000 as demonstrated in its latest
annual financial statements, a copy of which is attached hereto,
as of a date not more than 16 months preceding the date of sale
of the Transferred Certificates in the case of a U.S. savings and
loan association, and not more than 18 months preceding such date
of sale in the case of a foreign savings and loan association or
equivalent institution.
(1) Transferee must own and/or invest on a discretionary basis at least
$100,000,000 in securities unless Transferee is a dealer, and, in that case,
Transferee must own and/or invest on a discretionary basis at least $10,000,000
in securities.
___ Broker-dealer. The Transferee is a dealer registered pursuant to
Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974.
___ Investment Advisor. The Transferee is an investment advisor
registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
___ Other. (Please supply a brief description of the entity and a
cross-reference to the paragraph and subparagraph under
subsection (a)(1) of Rule 144A pursuant to which it qualifies.
Note that registered investment companies should complete Annex 2
rather than this Annex 1.)
3. The term "securities" as used herein does not include (i) securities of
issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee, (ii) securities that are part
of an unsold allotment to or subscription by the Transferee, if the Transferee
is a dealer, (iii) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (iv) loan
participations, (v) repurchase agreements, (vi) securities owned but subject to

include any of the securities referred to in this paragraph.
4. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned
and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the Transferee used
the cost of such securities to the Transferee, unless the Transferee reports its
securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market
value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities
has been published, in which case the securities were valued at market. Further,
in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included
securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such
subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the
investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee's direction.
However, such securities were not included if the Transferee is a
majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee
is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
5. The Transferee is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the
Transferor and other parties related to the Transferred Certificates are relying
and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more
sales to the Transferee may be in reliance on Rule 144A.
____ ____ Will the Transferee be purchasing the Transferred
Yes No Certificates only for the Transferee's own account?
6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no," then in each case
where the Transferee is purchasing for an account other than its own, such
account belongs to a third party that is itself a "qualified institutional
buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A, and the "qualified institutional buyer"
status of such third party has been established by the Transferee through one or
more of the appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A.
7. The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this
certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.
Until such notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the Transferred
Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the
date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and
loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such
parties any updated annual financial statements that become available on or
before the date of such purchase, promptly after they become available.

QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER STATUS UNDER SEC RULE 144A

The undersigned hereby certifies as follows to [_________________] (the
"Transferor") and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trustee, with respect to the
mortgage pass-through certificates (the "Transferred Certificates") described in
the Transferee certificate to which this certification relates and to which this
certification is an Annex:
1. As indicated below, the undersigned is the chief financial officer, a
person fulfilling an equivalent function, or other executive officer of the
entity purchasing the Transferred Certificates (the "Transferee") or, if the
Transferee is a "qualified institutional buyer" as that term is defined in Rule
144A ("Rule 144A") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, because the
Transferee is part of a Family of Investment Companies (as defined below), is an
executive officer of the investment adviser (the "Adviser").
2. The Transferee is a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined in Rule
144A because (i) the Transferee is an investment company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, and (ii) as marked below, the Transferee alone
owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis, or the Transferee's Family of
Investment Companies owned, at least $100,000,000 in securities (other than the
excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee's most
recent fiscal year. For purposes of determining the amount of securities owned
by the Transferee or the Transferee's Family of Investment Companies, the cost
of such securities was used, unless the Transferee or any member of the
Transferee's Family of Investment Companies, as the case may be, reports its
securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market
value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities
has been published, in which case the securities of such entity were valued at

owned in the aggregate $__________________ in securities (other
than the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of

calculated in accordance with Rule 144A).
3. The term "Family of Investment Companies" as used herein means two or
more registered investment companies (or series thereof) that have the same
investment adviser or investment advisers that are affiliated (by virtue of
being majority owned subsidiaries of the same parent or because one investment
adviser is a majority owned subsidiary of the other).
4. The term "securities" as used herein does not include (i) securities of
issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee or are part of the Transferee's
Family of Investment Companies, (ii) bank deposit notes and certificates of
deposit, (iii) loan participations, (iv) repurchase agreements, (v) securities
owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and (vi) currency, interest rate and
commodity swaps. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities
owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, or owned by
the Transferee's Family of Investment Companies, the securities referred to in
this paragraph were excluded.
5. The Transferee is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the
Transferor and other parties related to the Transferred Certificates are relying
and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more
sales to the Transferee will be in reliance on Rule 144A.
____ ____ Will the Transferee be purchasing the Transferred
Yes No Certificates only for the Transferee's own account?
6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no," then in each case
where the Transferee is purchasing for an account other than its own, such
account belongs to a third party that is itself a "qualified institutional
buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A, and the "qualified institutional buyer"
status of such third party has been established by the Transferee through one or
more of the appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A.
7. The undersigned will notify the parties to which this certification is
made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such
notice, the Transferee's purchase of the Transferred Certificates will
constitute a reaffirmation of this certification by the undersigned as of the
date of such purchase.

Bank, N.A., as Trustee. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to
you, as Trustee, that:
1. Transferee is acquiring the Transferred Certificates for its own
account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or transfer in

applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and
laws, in which case (i) unless the transfer is made in reliance on Rule 144A
under the 1933 Act, the Trustee or the Depositor may require a written Opinion
of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor that such
transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable

substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as
Exhibit G-1 and a certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective
transferee substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing

COUNTY OF )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The undersigned is an officer of _______________________________, the
proposed transferee (the "Transferee") of the Class 1-CB-R Certificate (the
"Residual Certificate") issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
dated December 28, 2006, (the "Agreement"), relating to the above-referenced

Residual Certificate either (i) for its own account or (ii) as nominee, trustee
or agent for another Person who is a Permitted Transferee and has attached
hereto an affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this
affidavit. The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.

(iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for
the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that
such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of
transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is

4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be
imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any time during
the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee is the record Holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee
understands that, other than in the case of an "electing large partnership"
under Section 775 of the Code, such tax will not be imposed for any period with
respect to which the record Holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an
affidavit that such record Holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through
entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this
purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real
estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate,
and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another

subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the transfer and
mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by
the provisions of Section 6.02 of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on
the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any
breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the transfer
to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a transfer affidavit in the form of
this Affidavit from any Person to whom the Transferee attempts to transfer the
Residual Certificate, and in connection with any transfer by a Person for whom
the Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will
not transfer the Residual Certificate or cause the Residual Certificate to be
transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee.
7. The Transferee historically has paid its debts as they have become due.
8. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or
collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Residual
Certificate.
9. The taxpayer identification number of the Transferee's nominee is
___________.
10. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section
7701(a)(30).
11. The Transferee is aware that the Residual Certificate may be a
"noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the
income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer
was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
12. The Transferee will not cause income from the Residual Certificate to
be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the
meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other
person.
13. If the Transferee is purchasing the Residual Certificate in a transfer
intended to meet the safe harbor provisions of Treasury Regulations Sections

including an individual retirement account, subject to ERISA, the Code or any
federal, state or local law which is similar to ERISA or the Code, and the
Transferee is not acting on behalf of such a plan or arrangement.

an amount that is more than 15% below the recent market valuation of that

recommendation. The Loss Mitigation Advisor's recommendation may take the form
of concurring with the proposed below-market sale, recommending against such
below-market sale, or proposing a counteroffer.
Section 2.03. Termination.
(a) With respect to all Mortgage Loans included in a trust fund, the
Servicer's obligations under Section 2.01 and Section 2.02 shall terminate at
such time as the Certificate Principal Balances of the related Class B

(b) The Loss Mitigation Advisor's responsibilities under this Agreement
shall terminate upon the termination of the fee agreement between the Purchaser
or its successor and the Loss Mitigation Advisor. The Loss Mitigation Advisor

thereof.
(c) Neither the Servicer nor any of its directors, officers, employees or
agents shall be under any liability 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
Servicer or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be
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 the Loss Mitigation Advisor and any director,
officer, employee or agent thereof 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 Loss Mitigation Advisor, its directors,
officers, employees or agents shall be under any liability for any actions taken
