the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the related
accrual period and the denominator of which is 30.
(27) The Class 9-X Certificates will not accrue interest on their Class
Principal Balance. With the exception of the first Distribution Date
(as provided in footnote 28 below), the Class 9-X Certificates accrue
interest on the Class 9-X Notional Amount.
(28) The Class 9-X Certificates will be comprised of two REMIC IV regular
interests, a principal only regular interest designated 9-X-PO and an
interest only regular interest designated 9-X-IO, which will be
entitled to distributions as set forth herein. The rights of the Holder
of the Class 9-X Certificates to payments from the Group 9 Basis Risk
Reserve Fund shall be outside and apart from its rights under the REMIC
IV Regular Interests 9-X-IO and 9-X-PO. On each Distribution Date, the
Class 9-X Certificates shall be entitled to the Class 9-X Distributable
Amount. With respect to any Distribution Date, interest accrued on the
Class 9-X Certificates during the related Accrual Period shall equal
interest at the related Pass-Through Rate on the Class 9-X Notional
Amount immediately prior to such Distribution Date, in each case
reduced by any interest shortfalls with respect to the Mortgage Loans
in the related Loan Group including Prepayment Interest Shortfalls to
the extent not covered by Compensating Interest. The Pass-Through Rate
for the Class 9-X Certificates or the REMIC IV Regular Interest 9-X-IO
for any Distribution Date shall equal a per annum rate equal to the
percentage equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the
product of (a) 30 and (b) the sum of the amounts calculated pursuant to
clauses (i) through (iii) below, and the denominator of which is the
product of (a) the actual number of days in the related Accrual Period
and (b) the aggregate principal balance of the REMIC III Regular
Interests LT1, LT2, LT3 and LT4. For purposes of calculating the
Pass-Through Rate for the Class 9-X Certificates, the numerator is
equal to the sum of the following components:
(i) the Uncertificated Pass-Through Rate for REMIC III Regular
Interest LT1 minus the Marker Rate, applied to a notional
amount equal to the Uncertificated Principal Balance of
REMIC III Regular Interest LT1;
(ii) the Uncertificated Pass-Through Rate for REMIC III Regular
Interest LT2 minus the Marker Rate, applied to a notional
amount equal to the Uncertificated Principal Balance of
REMIC III Regular Interest LT2; and
(iii) the Uncertificated Pass-Through Rate for REMIC III Regular
Interest LT4 minus twice the Marker Rate, applied to a
notional amount equal to the Uncertificated Principal
Balance of REMIC III Regular Interest LT4.
Accrued interest on the Class 9-X Certificates shall accrue on the
basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the related
Accrual Period. Payments into the Basis Risk Reserve Fund from the
Group 9 Available Distribution Amount shall be deemed to have first
been distributed from REMIC IV to the holders of the Class 9-X
Certificates in respect of the Class 9-X-IO REMIC IV Regular Interest
and then paid by such holders into the Basis Risk Reserve Fund.
(29) The Class 9-X Certificates will be issued in certificated,
fully-registered form in minimum denominations of 20% of the Percentage
Interest therein and increments of 10% in excess thereof.
(30) The Class AR Certificates are not themselves issued by REMIC IV,
instead, the Class AR Certificates will represent ownership of two
REMIC residual interests - Component I of the Class AR (which is the
residual interest in REMIC III) and Component II of the Class AR (which
is the residual interest in REMIC IV).
(31) The Class AR Certificates are issued in minimum Percentage Interests of
20%.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Trust Administrator shall account
for any interest amount due to a Certificateholder in excess of the interest
rate on the REMIC regular interest issued by REMIC IV corresponding to such
Certificate as part of the payment made by the Basis Risk Reserve Fund for
such Certificate (i.e., distributed to the Class 9-X Certificates, as
applicable, to the extent it is entitled to funds from the REMIC) and then
paid outside of the REMIC pursuant to a separate contractual right to such
Certificateholder.
The foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the
cash from the Mortgage Loans to flow through to REMIC IV as cash flow on a
REMIC regular interest, without creating any shortfall-actual or potential
(other than for credit losses) to any REMIC regular interest. To the extent
that the structure is believed to diverge from such intention the Trust
Administrator shall resolve ambiguities to accomplish such result and shall
to the extent necessary rectify any drafting errors or seek clarification to
the structure without Certificateholder approval (but with guidance of
counsel) to accomplish such intention.

For purposes of the succeeding formulas the following symbols shall
have the meanings set forth below:
Y1 = the principal balance of the REMIC I Regular Interest LT1 after
distributions on the prior Distribution Date.
Y2 = the principal balance of the REMIC I Regular Interest LT2 after
distributions on the prior Distribution Date.
Y3 = the principal balance of the REMIC I Regular Interest LT3 after
distributions on the prior Distribution Date.
Y4 = the principal balance of the REMIC I Regular Interest LT4 after
distributions on the prior Distribution Date (note: Y3 = Y4).
ΔY1 = the REMIC I Regular Interest LT1 Principal Reduction Amount.
ΔY2 = the REMIC I Regular Interest LT2 Principal Reduction Amount.
ΔY3 = the REMIC I Regular Interest LT3 Principal Reduction Amount.
ΔY4 = the REMIC I Regular Interest LT4 Principal Reduction Amount.
P0 = the aggregate principal balance of the REMIC I Regular Interests
LT1, LT2, LT3 and LT4 after distributions and the allocation of Realized
Losses on the prior Distribution Date.
P1 = the aggregate principal balance of the REMIC I Regular Interests
LT1, LT2, LT3 and LT4 after distributions and the allocation of Realized
Losses to be made on such Distribution Date.
ΔP = P0 - P1 = the aggregate of the REMIC I Regular Interests LT1,
LT2, LT3 and LT4 Principal Reduction Amounts.
= the aggregate of the principal portions of Realized Losses
to be allocated to, and the principal distributions to be made on, the Group
I Certificates on such Distribution Date (including distributions of accrued
and unpaid interest on the Class SB-I Certificates for prior Distribution
Dates).
R0 = the Group I Net WAC Cap Rate (stated as a monthly rate) after
giving effect to amounts distributed and Realized Losses allocated on the
prior Distribution Date.
R1 = the Group I Net WAC Cap Rate (stated as a monthly rate) after
giving effect to amounts to be distributed and Realized Losses to be
allocated on such Distribution Date.
α = (Y2 + Y3)/P0. The initial value of α on the Closing Date for use
on the first Distribution Date shall be 0.0001.
γ0 = the lesser of (A) the sum for all Classes of Group 9
Certificates, other than the Class 9-X Certificates, of the product for each
Class of (i) the monthly interest rate (as limited by the Group 9 A Net Funds
Cap, the Group 9 B Net Funds Cap or the Group 9 Subordinate Net Funds Cap, if
applicable) for such Class applicable for distributions to be made on such
Distribution Date and (ii) the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance for
such Class after distributions and the allocation of Realized Losses on the
prior Distribution Date and (B) R0*P0.

Class of (i) the monthly interest rate (as limited by the Group 9 A Net Funds
Cap, the Group 9 B Net Funds Cap or the Group 9 Subordinate Net Funds Cap, if
applicable) for such Class applicable for distributions to be made on the
next succeeding Distribution Date and (ii) the aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance for such Class after distributions and the allocation of
Realized Losses to be made on such Distribution Date and (B) R1*P1.
Then, based on the foregoing definitions:
ΔY1 = ΔP - ΔY2 - ΔY3 - ΔY4;
ΔY2 = (α/2){( γ0R1 - γ1R0)/R0R1};
ΔY3 = αΔP - ΔY2; and
ΔY4 = ΔY3.
if both ΔY2 and ΔY3, as so determined, are non-negative numbers.
Otherwise:
(1) If ΔY2, as so determined, is negative, then
ΔY2 = 0;
ΔY3 = α{γ1R0P0 - γ0R1P1}/{γ1R0};
ΔY4 = ΔY3; and
ΔY1 = ΔP - ΔY2 - ΔY3 - ΔY4.
(2) If ΔY3, as so determined, is negative, then
ΔY3 = 0;
ΔY2 = α{γ1R0P0 - γ0R1P1}/{2R1R0P1 - γ1R0};
ΔY4 = ΔY3; and
ΔY1 = ΔP - ΔY2 - ΔY3 - ΔY4.

balance of, or accrued interest on, the Related Classes of Certificates.
Realized Losses on the Group 9 Mortgage Loans for the related Collection
Period shall be allocated to the REMIC III Regular Interests LT1, LT2, LT3
and LT4, in reduction of the principal balances thereof and interest accrued

this Agreement.
In the event the Depositor delivers to the Custodian certified
copies of any document or instrument set forth in 2.01(b) because of a delay
caused by the public recording office in returning any recorded document, the
Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, within 60
days of the Closing Date or the related Subsequent Transfer Date, as
applicable, an Officer's Certificate which shall (i) identify the recorded
document, (ii) state that the recorded document has not been delivered to the
Custodian due solely to a delay caused by the public recording office, and
(iii) state the amount of time generally required by the applicable recording
office to record and return a document submitted for recordation.
In the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan the
Depositor cannot deliver (a) for a Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage
Loan, the original recorded Mortgage, (b) all interim recorded assignments or
(c) the lender's title policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying
the requirements set forth above, 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 (a) or (b)

upon receipt thereof from the public recording office, or a copy thereof,
certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office and, in the case
of clause (c) above, any title policy upon receipt from the applicable title

As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and

shall, at its expense, (i) affix or cause to be affixed the Trustee's name to
each Assignment of Mortgage, as the assignee thereof, (ii) cause such
assignment to be in proper form for recording in the appropriate public
office for real property records within thirty (30) days after receipt

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 DLJMC has not received the information required to prepare such
assignment in recordable form, DLJMC'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 thirty (30) days after the receipt
thereof, and DLJMC need not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates
to a Mortgage Loan in any jurisdiction under the laws of which, as evidenced
by an Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Depositor (at the Depositor's
expense) to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and DLJMC, acceptable to the
Rating Agencies, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to
protect the Trustee's and the Certificateholders' interest in the related
Mortgage Loan.
If any original Mortgage Note referred to in Section 2.01(b)(i)
above cannot be located, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such
documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the Custodian of a
photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note affidavit and
indemnity. If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note
affidavit and indemnity was delivered to the Custodian is subsequently

within three Business Days.
(c) The Trustee is authorized to enter into one or more Custodial
Agreements, at the direction of the Depositor, for the purpose of having a
Custodian maintain custody of the documents and instruments referred to in
this Section 2.01, and any documents delivered thereunder shall be delivered
to the Custodian and any Officer's Certificates delivered with respect
thereto shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the
Custodian.
(d) It is the express intent of the parties to this Agreement that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee as provided
in this Section 2.01 be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by
the Depositor to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the
parties to this Agreement that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the
Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the
intent of the parties to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans are held to be
the property of the Depositor, or if any for any other reason this Agreement
is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans then
(a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the
meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the
conveyance provided for in this Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be a grant by
the Depositor to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders of a
security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and
to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the
conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash,
instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all
amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested
in the Certificate Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments,
securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Trustee or any
Custodian of such items of property and such other items of property as
constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be
deemed to be "in possession by the secured party" for purposes of perfecting
the security interest pursuant to Section 9 313 of the New York Uniform
Commercial Code; and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such
property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as
applicable) of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders for the
purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law (except
that nothing in this clause (d) shall cause any person to be deemed to be an
agent of the Trustee for any purpose other than for perfection of such
security interests unless, and then only to the extent, expressly appointed
and authorized by the Trustee in writing). The Depositor and the Trustee,
upon directions from the Depositor, shall, to the extent consistent with this
Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this
Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans,
such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of
first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout
the term of this Agreement.
(e) In addition, on or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee shall execute
the Interest Rate Cap Agreements and the Depositor hereby directs the Trustee
to do so. In addition, the Depositor shall pay or cause to be paid on behalf
of the Trust the payments owed to any Counterparty as of the Closing Date
pursuant to any of the Interest Rate Cap Agreements.
(f) Upon one Business Day's prior written notice to the Trustee, WMMSC and
the Rating Agencies, on any Business Day designated by the Depositor during
the Prefunding Period, the Depositor, the Seller and the Trustee shall
complete, execute and deliver (and WMMSC shall acknowledge) a Subsequent
Transfer Agreement so long as each Rating Agency has provided notice that the
execution and delivery of such Subsequent Transfer Agreement will not result
in a reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Certificates on
the Closing Date.
The transfer of Subsequent Mortgage Loans and the other property
and rights relating to them on a Subsequent Transfer Date is subject to the
satisfaction of each of the following conditions:
(i) each Subsequent Mortgage Loan conveyed on such
Subsequent Transfer Date satisfies the representations and warranties
applicable to it under this Agreement as of the applicable Subsequent
Transfer Date; provided, however, that with respect to a breach of a
representation and warranty with respect to a Subsequent Mortgage Loan,
the obligation under Section 2.03 of this Agreement of the related
Seller to cure, repurchase or replace such Subsequent Mortgage Loan
shall constitute the sole remedy against such Seller respecting such
breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee;
(ii) the Rating Agencies, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator are provided with an Opinion of Counsel or Opinions of
Counsel, at the expense of the Depositor, with respect to the
characterization of the transfer of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans
conveyed on such Subsequent Transfer Date as a sale, to be delivered as
provided pursuant to Section 2.01(g);

assigned to the Certificates on the Closing Date by the Rating Agencies;

Subsequent Transfer Date was 30 or more days contractually delinquent
as of its subsequent Cut off Date;
(v) the remaining term to stated maturity of such
Subsequent Mortgage Loan will not exceed 30 years;

the Prefunding Account.
The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall not be required to
investigate or otherwise verify compliance with the conditions set forth in
the preceding paragraph, except for its own receipt of documents specified

(h) Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement or by separate
written agreement among the related parties hereto, the Depositor, each
Seller, each Servicer and the Master Servicer agree that the provisions of
this Agreement shall supercede any provisions in any existing mortgage loan

SECTION 2.02. Acceptance by the Trustee.
(a) Pursuant to Section 4 of the LaSalle Custodial Agreement and Section 4
of the U.S. Bank Custodial Agreement, each Custodian agrees to execute and
deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator a Trust Receipt and Initial Certification in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit I-1. Based on its review and examination, and only as to
the documents identified in such Trust Receipt and Initial Certification, the
Custodian acknowledges that such documents appear regular on their face and
relate to such Initial Mortgage Loan. The Custodian shall be under no duty
or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine,
enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have
actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than
what they purport to be on their face.
Pursuant to Section 6 of the LaSalle Custodial Agreement and
Section 5 of the U.S. Bank Custodial Agreement, not later than 90 days after
the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator a Trust Receipt and Final Certification in the
form annexed hereto as Exhibit J, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon.
Based solely upon the Trust Receipt and Initial Certification
received from each Custodian, and subject to the provisions of Section 2.01
and any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next
paragraph below, the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents referred
to in Section 2.01 above and declares that it holds and will hold such
documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage
File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets
included in the definition of the Trust Fund in trust for the exclusive use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
If, in the course of such review, the Custodian finds any
document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the
requirements of Section 2.01, the Custodian shall list such as an exception
in the Trust Receipt and Final Certification pursuant to Section 6 of the
LaSalle Custodial Agreement and Section 5 of the U.S. Bank Custodial
Agreement; provided, however, that the Custodian shall not make any
determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all
right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or
assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in
recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to
the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan for which it is the Seller,
each Seller shall promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from
the date it was so notified of such defect and, if such Seller does not
correct or cure such defect within such period and such defect materially and
adversely affects the interests of Certificateholders in the related Mortgage
Loan, such Seller shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished
in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03, or
(b) repurchase such Mortgage Loan within 90 days from the date that the
related Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price
of such Mortgage Loan; or such longer period not to exceed 720 days from the
Closing Date if the substitution or repurchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents
by the appropriate recording office or title insurer, as applicable;
provided, however, that a Seller shall have no liability for recording any
Assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee or for the Custodian's failure
to record such Assignment of Mortgage, and provided, further, that no Seller
shall be obligated to repurchase or cure any Mortgage Loan solely as a result
of the Custodian's failure to record such Assignment of Mortgage. The Trust
Administrator shall direct each Custodian to deliver to each Rating Agency
written notice within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage
Loan (a) for which a mortgage or assignment of mortgage required to be
recorded hereunder has not been returned by the appropriate recording office
or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or status of such
Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days thereafter until
the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the Custodian. Any such
substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to (b) above shall
not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if
any, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior
to the additional delivery to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator of a
Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit K. No substitution
is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date
for such month. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be
deposited by the related Seller in the related Collection Account on or prior
to the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date in the month
following the month during which such Seller became obligated hereunder to
repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and, upon receipt of such deposit
and certification with respect thereto in the form of Exhibit K hereto, the
Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File to the related Seller and
shall execute and deliver at such entity's request such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by such entity, in each case without
recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in such entity, or a designee, the
Trustee's interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
If pursuant to the preceding paragraph the related Seller
repurchases a Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the related
Servicer shall, at the related Seller's expense, either (i) cause MERS to
execute and deliver an Assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer
the Mortgage from MERS to the related Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to
be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS'
rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System the
related Seller as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
The Custodian shall execute and deliver prior to 10:00 a.m. (New
York time) on each Subsequent Transfer Date to the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator and each Servicer a Subsequent Certification in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit I-2. Based on its review and examination, and only
as to the documents identified in such Subsequent Certification, the
Custodian shall acknowledge that such documents appear regular on their face
and relate to such Subsequent Mortgage Loan. None of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator or the Custodian shall be under any duty or obligation to
inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other
papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for
the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real
estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their
face.
Not later than 90 days after the end of the Prefunding Period,
the Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the
Sellers and each Servicer a Final Certification with respect to the
Subsequent Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit J with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If, in the course of such review of the Mortgage Files relating
to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans, the Custodian finds any document
constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements
of Section 2.01, the Custodian shall list such as an exception in the Final
Certification; provided, however that the Custodian shall not make any
determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all
right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or
assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in
recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to
the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. The
Seller shall cure any such defect or repurchase or substitute for any such
Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 2.02(a).
(b) It is understood and agreed that the obligation of each Seller to cure,
substitute for or to repurchase 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, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor and
any Certificateholder against the Sellers.
SECTION 2.03. Representations and Warranties of the Sellers, Master
Servicer and Servicers.
(a) Each of DLJMC, in its capacity as Seller, Xxxxx Fargo, in its capacity
as Master Servicer, WMMSC, in its capacity as Seller and Servicer, SPS, in
its capacity as Servicer, GreenPoint, in its capacity as Servicer, Xxxxx
Fargo, in its capacity as Servicer and Wilshire, in its capacity as Special
Servicer hereby makes the representations and warranties applicable to it set
forth in Schedule IIA, IIB, IIC, IID, IIE, IIF or IIG, as applicable hereto,
and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor, the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein,
as of the Cut off Date or such other date as may be specified. In addition,
SPS, in its capacity as Servicer, GreenPoint, in its capacity as Servicer,
Xxxxx Fargo, in its capacity as Servicer and Wilshire, in its capacity as
Special Servicer makes the representations and warranties applicable to it
set forth in Schedule IID, IIE, IIF and IIG hereto, respectively, and by this
reference incorporated herein, to the Master Servicer as of the Closing Date,
or if so specified therein, as of the Cut off Date or such other date as may
be specified.
(b) Each of DLJMC, in its capacity as Seller and WMMSC, in its capacity as
Seller, hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule
IIIA and IIIB, respectively, as to the DLJMC Mortgage Loans and the WMMSC
Mortgage Loans, respectively, and by this reference incorporated herein, to
the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, as of the Closing
Date, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut off Date or such other date
as may be specified.
(c) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a
representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) that materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage
Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to
the other parties; provided that, if applicable, any breach of the
representations and warranties set forth in Schedule IIIA(xix), IIIA(xxii),
IIIA(xxiv), IIIA(xxvii), IIIA(xxviii), IIIA(xxix) and IIIA(xxxii) shall be
deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the
Certificateholders in that Mortgage Loan. Each Seller hereby covenants that
within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written
notice from any party of a breach of any representation or warranty made by
it pursuant to Section 2.03(b) which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan sold by such Seller
to the Trust, it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if such
breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such 90 day period expires prior to the
second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted
Mortgage Loan") from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or
Mortgage Loans at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided,
however, that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be
effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator of
the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any such
substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the
additional delivery to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator of a Request
for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit K relating to the Deleted
Mortgage Loan and the Mortgage File for any such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan. The related Seller shall promptly reimburse the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator, the Special Servicer and the related Servicer (if such
Servicer is not the Seller of such Mortgage Loan) for any actual out of
pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the Special Servicer and the related Servicer (if such Servicer is not the
Seller of such Mortgage Loan) in respect of enforcing the remedies for such
breach. With respect to any representation and warranties described in this
Section which are made to the best of a Seller's knowledge if it is
discovered by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, any Seller, any
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator that
the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such
inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage
Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein, notwithstanding the
related Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such
representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the
applicable representation or warranty.
With respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans,
the related Seller shall deliver to the Custodian for the benefit of the
Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of
the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by
Section 2.01(b), 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. Scheduled
Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month
of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by
such Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly
payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the
related Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The related Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan
Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans and the related Seller shall deliver the amended
Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Servicers and the Trust
Administrator. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all
respects, and the related Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of
substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to
Section 2.03(b) with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such
substitution and the deposit to the Collection Account of the amount required
to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in
the following paragraph, the Trustee shall instruct the Custodian to release
the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders relating to
such Deleted Mortgage Loan to such Seller and the Trustee shall execute and
deliver at the related Seller's direction such instruments of transfer or
assignment prepared by such Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall
be necessary to vest title in such Seller, or its designee, the Trustee's
interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this
Section 2.03.
For any month in which a Seller substitutes one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer, or WMMSC if such Deleted Mortgage Loan is a WMMSC Serviced Mortgage
Loan, shall determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal
balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of
substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such
Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of the scheduled principal portion
of the monthly payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of
such shortage (the "Substitution Adjustment Amount") plus an amount equal to
the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances, Servicing Advances and unpaid
Servicing Fees with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be deposited
in the related Collection Account by the related Seller on or before the
Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date in the month
succeeding the calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan became
required to be repurchased or replaced hereunder.
One or more mortgage loans may be substituted for one or more
Deleted Mortgage Loans. The determination of whether a mortgage loan is a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan may be satisfied on an individual basis.
Alternatively, if more than one mortgage loan is to be substituted for one or
more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the characteristics of such mortgage loans and
Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be aggregated or calculated on a weighted
average basis, as applicable, in determining whether such mortgage loans are
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans.
In the event that a Seller shall be required to repurchase a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchase Price therefor shall
be deposited in the Collection Account on or before the Business Day
immediately preceding the Distribution Date in the month following the month
during which such Seller became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace
such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery
of the Opinion of Counsel if required by Section 2.05 and receipt of a
Request for Release in the form of Exhibit K hereto, the Custodian shall
release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders to such Person, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver
at such Person's direction such instruments of transfer or assignment
prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary
to transfer title from the Trustee. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation under this Agreement of any Person to cure, repurchase or
substitute any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is
continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against such Persons respecting
such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor, the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator on their behalf.
The representations and warranties made pursuant to this
Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Custodian for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the substitution of a Deleted
Mortgage Loan that is a WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan or the repurchase of a
Mortgage Loan that is a WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan by a Seller shall be
subject to, and shall in no way adversely affect, the right of WMMSC to
continue servicing and collecting its Servicing Fee for such Deleted Mortgage
Loan or Mortgage Loan, as applicable and (ii) the substitution of a Deleted
Mortgage Loan that is a GreenPoint Serviced Mortgage Loan or the repurchase
of a Mortgage Loan that is a GreenPoint Serviced Mortgage Loan by a Seller
shall be subject to, and shall in no way adversely affect, the right of
GreenPoint to continue servicing and collecting its Servicing Fee for such
Deleted Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loan, as applicable.
SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the
Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with
respect to the Mortgage Loans that, as of the Closing Date, assuming good
title has been conveyed to the Depositor, the Depositor had good title to the
Mortgage Loans and Mortgage Notes, and did not encumber the Mortgage Loans
during its period of ownership thereof, other than as contemplated by the
Agreement.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the
Mortgage Files to the Custodian.
SECTION 2.05. Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with
Substitutions.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no
substitution pursuant to Section 2.02 shall be made more than 90 days after
the Closing Date unless the related Seller delivers to the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not
be at the expense of any of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust
Fund, addressed to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, to the effect
that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on
"prohibited transactions" on the Trust Fund or contributions after the
Startup Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code,
respectively, or (ii) cause each REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
SECTION 2.06. Issuance of Certificates.
The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage
Loans together with the assignment to it of all other assets included in the
Trust Fund, receipt of which, subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(a),
is hereby acknowledged. Concurrently with such assignment and delivery and
in exchange therefor, the Trust Administrator, pursuant to the written
request of the Depositor executed by an officer of the Depositor, has
executed the Certificates and caused them to be authenticated and delivered
to or upon the order of the Depositor in authorized denominations which
evidence ownership of the Trust Fund. The rights of the Holders of such
Certificates to receive distributions from the Trust Fund and all ownership
interests of the Holders of the Certificates in such distributions shall be
as set forth in this Agreement.
SECTION 2.07. REMIC Provisions.
(a) The Depositor hereby elects and authorizes the Trust Administrator to
treat the Trust Fund as the number of separate REMICs specified in the
Preliminary Statement (each, a "REMIC") under the Code and, if necessary,
under applicable state law and apply such Preliminary Statement in
determining the rights of the Interests in REMICs thereby created. Each such
election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or
information return (including Form 8811) or any appropriate state return (x)
for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
Certificates are issued and (y) for the taxable year ending on the last day
of the calendar year in which Certificates are first sold to a third party.
The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of each REMIC
created hereunder within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The
"regular interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in each
REMIC shall consist of the regular interests with the terms set forth for
each REMIC in the Preliminary Statement and the Class AR and Class AR-L
Certificates shall represent the beneficial ownership of the "residual
interest" in each REMIC created hereunder. Neither the Depositor nor the
Trust Administrator nor the Trustee shall permit the creation of any
"interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any REMIC
other than as set forth in the Preliminary Statement.
(b) The Trust Administrator as the holder of the Tax Matters Certificate,
shall act as the "tax matters person" (within the meaning of the REMIC
Provisions) for each REMIC created hereunder, in the manner provided under
Treasury regulations section 1.860F 4(d) and temporary Treasury regulations
section 301.6231(a)(7) 1T. In the event that for any reason, the Trust
Administrator is not recognized as the tax matters person then the Trust
Administrator shall act as agent for the Class AR and the Class AR-L
Certificateholder as tax matters person. By its acceptance of a Class AR or
Class AR-L Certificate, each Holder thereof shall have agreed to such
appointment and shall have consented to the appointment of the Trust
Administrator as its agent to act on behalf of each REMIC created hereunder
pursuant to the specific duties outlined herein.
(c) A Holder of the Class AR or Class AR-L Certificates, by the purchase of
such Certificates, shall be deemed to have agreed to timely pay, upon demand
by the Trust Administrator, the amount of any minimum California state
franchise taxes due with respect to each REMIC created hereunder under
Sections 23151(a) and 23153(a) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust Administrator shall be authorized to
retain the amount of such tax from amounts otherwise distributable to such
Holder in the event such Holder does not promptly pay such amount upon demand
by the Trust Administrator. In the event that any other federal, state or
local tax is imposed, including without limitation taxes imposed on a
"prohibited transaction" of a REMIC as defined in Section 860F of the Code,
such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise available for
distribution to the applicable Holder of a Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate
and then against amounts otherwise available for distribution to the Holders
of Regular Certificates in accordance with the provisions set forth in
Section 4.01. The Trust Administrator or the Trustee shall promptly deposit
in the Certificate Account any amount of "prohibited transaction" tax that
results from a breach of the Trust Administrator's or the Trustee's duties,
respectively, under this Agreement. The Master Servicer or the related
Servicer shall promptly deposit in the Certificate Account any amount of
"prohibited transaction" tax that results from a breach of the Master
Servicer's or such Servicer's duties, respectively, under this Agreement.
(d) The Trust Administrator shall act as attorney in fact and as the tax
matters person of each REMIC created hereunder and in such capacity the Trust
Administrator shall: (i) prepare, sign and file, or cause to be prepared,
signed and filed, federal and state tax returns using a calendar year as the
taxable year for each REMIC created hereunder when and as required by the
REMIC Provisions and other applicable federal income tax laws as the direct
representative of each such REMIC in compliance with the Code and shall
provide copies of such returns as required by the Code; (ii) make an
election, on behalf of each REMIC created hereunder, to be treated as a REMIC
on the federal tax return of such REMIC for its first taxable year, in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions; and (iii) prepare and forward, or cause
to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to any
governmental taxing authority all information reports as and when required to
be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. The expenses of
preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trust Administrator.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the related Servicer shall provide on
a prompt and timely basis to the Trust Administrator or its designee such
information with respect to each REMIC created hereunder as is in their
possession and reasonably required or requested by the Trust Administrator to
enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection.
In its capacity as attorney in fact and as the tax matters
person, the Trust Administrator shall also: (A) act on behalf of each REMIC
created hereunder in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving the
Trust Fund, (B) represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial
proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing
authority with respect thereto and (C) cause to be paid solely from the
sources provided herein the amount of any taxes imposed on each REMIC created
hereunder when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation
shall not prevent the Trust Administrator or any other appropriate Person
from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent
the Trust Administrator from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by
law, pending the outcome of such proceedings).
(e) The Trust Administrator shall provide (i) to any transferor of a
Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate such information as is necessary for the
application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Class AR or Class AR-L
Certificate to any Person who is not a permitted transferee, (ii) to the
Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or
the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue
discount and market discount or premium and (iii) to the Internal Revenue
Service the name, title, address and telephone number of the person who will
serve as the representative of each REMIC created hereunder.
(f) The Trustee, to the extent directed by the Trust Administrator, the
Depositor and the Holder of the Class AR or Class AR-L Certificates shall
take any action or cause the Trust Fund to take any action necessary to
create or maintain the status of each REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC
under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create
or maintain such status. Neither the Trustee, to the extent directed or (in
the case of a failure to act) not directed by the Trust Administrator, nor
the Holder of the Class AR or Class AR-L Certificates shall take any action,
cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause the
Trust Fund to take) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or
not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of each REMIC
created hereunder as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon a
REMIC (including, but not limited to, the tax on prohibited transactions as
defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions
set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an "Adverse
REMIC Event") unless the Trustee and the Trust Administrator have received an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action)
to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or
result in the imposition of such a tax.
The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall not take or fail to
take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Master
Servicer, a Servicer or the Depositor has advised it in writing that it has
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event
could occur with respect to such action. In addition, prior to taking any
action with respect to a REMIC or their assets, or causing any REMIC created
hereunder to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the
terms of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator will consult
with the Master Servicer, the Servicers and the Depositor or their designees,
in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC
Event to occur with respect to any REMIC created hereunder and the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator shall not take any such action or cause that
REMIC to take any such action as to which the Master Servicer, any Servicer
or the Depositor has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could
occur.
In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC
created hereunder or the assets therein, or causing any REMIC created
hereunder to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the
terms of this Agreement, the Holder of the Class AR or Class AR-L
Certificates will consult with the Trust Administrator or its designee, in
writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC
Event to occur with respect to any REMIC created hereunder, and no such
Person shall take any action or cause the Trust Fund to take any such action
as to which the Trust Administrator has advised it in writing that an Adverse
REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee and the Trust Administrator may consult
with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne
by the party seeking to take action not permitted by this Agreement.
At all times as may be required by the Code, the Trust
Administrator will, to the extent within its control and the scope of its
duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain substantially all of the
assets of each REMIC created hereunder as "qualified mortgages" as defined
in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted investments" as defined in
Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of
any REMIC created hereunder, as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on
"net income from foreclosure property" of such REMIC, as defined in
Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to a REMIC after the
Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other
tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax
laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the related Servicer, if such Servicer
has in its sole discretion determined to indemnify the Trust Fund against
such tax or if such tax arises out of or results from a breach of such
Servicer's duties under (x) Section 2.07(j) of this Agreement to not enter
into any arrangement by which a REMIC would receive a fee or other
compensation for services or to permit such REMIC to receive any income from
assets other than "qualified mortgages" or "permitted investments", (y)
Section 3.01 of this Agreement to not make or permit any modification, waiver
or amendment of any Mortgage Loan which would cause any REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any
tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code or (z)
Section 3.11(c) of this Agreement to not cause any REO Property to fail to
qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code or to subject any 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 of otherwise, (ii) to the Master
Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master
Servicer of any of its obligations under this Agreement or if the Master
Servicer has in its sole discretion determined to indemnify the Trust Fund
against such tax, (iii) to the Trust Administrator, if such tax arises out of
or results from a breach by the Trust Administrator of any of its obligations
under this Article II, (iv) to the Trustee, if such tax arises out of or
results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this
Article II or (v) otherwise against amounts on deposit in the Collection
Account as provided by Section 3.08 and on the Distribution Date(s) following
such reimbursement the aggregate of such taxes shall be allocated in
reduction of the Interest Distribution Amount on each Class entitled thereto
in the same manner as if such taxes constituted a Prepayment Interest
Shortfall.
In accordance with Section 2.07(c), the related Servicer, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall
promptly deposit in the Certificate Account or Collection Account, as
applicable, any amount of such tax.
For purposes of this Section 2.07(g), a tax is imposed following
the final and unappealable determination under the Code of the amount of such
tax and written notice thereof by the Tax Matters Person to the party to be
charged.
The failure of the Master Servicer or the related Servicer to
promptly deposit in the Certificate Account or Collection Account, as
applicable, any amount of such tax shall be an Event of Default, as provided
in Section 8.01(b). However, in the case of WMMSC, the prompt deposit of any
such amount in the Certificate Account shall cure any Special Event of
Default unless notice of such Special Event of Default is accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of WMMSC, to the effect that the
cumulative effect of WMMSC's breach or breaches, notwithstanding the deposit
of the amounts of any such tax, shall have given rise to a substantial risk
that any REMIC created hereunder would fail to continue to qualify as a REMIC.
(h) The Trust Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes,
maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a
calendar year and on an accrual basis or as otherwise may be required by the
REMIC Provisions.
(i) Following the Startup Day, none of any Servicer, the Trustee (which
will act only at the direction of the Trust Administrator or as otherwise
specifically provided in this Agreement) or the Trust Administrator shall
accept any contributions of assets to any REMIC created hereunder unless
(subject to Section 2.05) such Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of
the party seeking to make such contribution) to the effect that the inclusion
of such assets in a REMIC will not cause that REMIC to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, or subject that
REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of
federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(j) None of any Servicer, the Trustee (which will act only at the direction
of the Trust Administrator or as otherwise specifically provided in this
Agreement) or the Trust Administrator shall (subject to Section 2.05) enter
into any arrangement by which a REMIC will receive a fee or other
compensation for services nor permit such REMIC to receive any income from
assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the
Code.
(k) Within 30 days after the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall
apply to the Internal Revenue Service for an employer identification number
for each REMIC created hereunder by means of a Form SS-4 or other acceptable
means and prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service Form 8811,
"Information Return for Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMIC) and
Issuers of Collateralized Debt Obligations" for each REMIC created hereunder.
(l) None of the Trustee (which will act only at the direction of the Trust
Administrator or as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement), the
Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer or any Servicer shall sell, dispose
of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i)
the default, imminent default or foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including
but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired
by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of any REMIC created
hereunder, (iii) the termination of any REMIC created hereunder pursuant to
Article X of this Agreement or (iv) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Article II or III of this Agreement) nor acquire any assets for a REMIC, nor
sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or the
Certificate Account for gain nor accept any contributions to a REMIC after
the Closing Date (a) unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel that such
sale, disposition, substitution or acquisition will not affect adversely the
status of any REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC or (b) unless the Master
Servicer or such Servicer has determined in its sole discretion to indemnify
the Trust Fund against such tax.
(m) In order to enable the Trust Administrator to perform its duties as set
forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided to the
Trust Administrator, within ten days after the Closing Date, all information
or data the Trust Administrator determines to be relevant for tax purposes to
the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without
limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows
of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Administrator shall
be entitled to rely upon any and all such information and data in the
performance of its duties set forth herein. Thereafter, the Master Servicer,
or with respect to the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans, WMMSC, shall provide,
promptly upon request therefor, any such additional information or data (or
with respect to WMMSC, any such additional loan level information and data
regarding the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans) that the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator may from time to time reasonably request in order to enable the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator to perform their duties as set forth
herein and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to rely
upon any and all such information and data in the performance of its duties
set forth herein. DLJMC shall indemnify the Trust Administrator and hold it
harmless for any loss, liability, damage, claim or expense of the Trust
Administrator arising from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to
cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trust Administrator
on a timely basis. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator and hold it harmless for any loss, liability, damage,
claim or expense of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator arising from any
failure of the Master Servicer to provide, or to cause to be provided,
accurate information or data required to be provided by the Master Servicer
to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator on a timely basis; provided,
however, that if any Servicer (other than WMMSC) shall fail to provide such
information to the Master Servicer upon timely request for such information
by the Master Servicer, that Servicer shall indemnify the Master Servicer,
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator and hold it harmless for any loss,
liability, damage, claim or expense of the Master Servicer, the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator arising from any failure of that Servicer to provide,
or to cause to be provided, the information referred to above on a timely
basis. WMMSC shall indemnify the Trustee and the Trust Administrator and hold
each of them harmless for any loss, liability, damage, claim or expense,
other than any special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss, liability,
damage, claim or expense, of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator arising
from any failure of WMMSC to provide, or to cause to be provided, the loan
level information or data regarding the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans
reasonably requested by the Trustee or Trust Administrator, and required to
be provided by WMMSC pursuant to this Section 2.07(m), on a timely basis.
The indemnification provisions hereunder shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and shall extend to any co-trustee and co-Trust Administrator
appointed pursuant to this Agreement.
(n) The Trust Administrator shall treat Group 9 Basis Risk Reserve Fund as
an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G 2(h)
that is owned by the Class 9-X Certificateholders and that is not an asset of
any REMIC created hereunder. The Trust Administrator shall account for the
rights of the Class 9-A-1-1, Class 9-A-1-2, Class 9-A-2, Class 9-A-3,
Class 9-A-4, Class 9-A-5, Class 9-A-6, Class 9-A-7, Class 9-M-1, Class 9-M-2,
Class 9-M-3 and Class 9-M-4 Certificateholders to receive payments from the
Group 9 Basis Risk Reserve Fund as rights in an interest rate cap contract
written by the Class 9-X Certificateholders in favor of the Class 9-A-1-1,
Class 9-A-1-2, Class 9-A-2, Class 9-A-3, Class 9-A-4, Class 9-A-5,
Class 9-A-6, Class 9-A-7, Class 9-M-1, Class 9-M-2, Class 9-M-3 and
Class 9-M-4 Certificateholders and not as an obligation of REMIC IV, whose
obligation to pay such Certificates will be subject to a cap equal to the
applicable Net Funds Cap and shall account for such rights as property held
separate and apart from the regular interests as required by Treasury
regulation section 1.860G-2(i). Any amounts transferred to the Group 9 Basis
Risk Reserve Fund by REMIC IV shall be treated as a distribution to the
Class 9-X Certificates. In addition, the Class 9-X Certificateholders shall
be deemed to have entered into a contractual arrangement with the Class AR
and Class AR-L Certificateholders whereby the Class AR and Class AR-L
Certificateholders agree to pay to the Class 9-X Certificateholders on each
Distribution Date amounts that would, in the absence of such contractual
agreement, be distributable with respect to the residual interest in REMIC IV
pursuant to Section 4.01(II)(d)(xiii) (which amounts are expected to be
zero). Thus each Class 9-A-1-1, Class 9-A-1-2, Class 9-A-2, Class 9-A-3,
Class 9-A-4, Class 9-A-5, Class 9-A-6, Class 9-A-7, Class 9-M-1, Class 9-M-2,
Class 9-M-3 and Class 9-M-4 Certificate shall be treated as representing
ownership of not only REMIC IV regular interests, but also ownership of an
interest in an interest rate cap contract. Each Class 9-X Certificate shall
represent an obligation under an interest rate cap contract. For purposes of
determining the issue price of REMIC IV regular interests, the Trust
Administrator shall assume that the interest rate cap contract has a value of
$5,000.
(o) The Trust Administrator shall treat the Class C-B-1 Basis Risk Reserve
Fund as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
1.860G 2(h) that is owned by the Class C-B-1X Certificateholders and that is
not an asset of any REMIC created hereunder. The Trust Administrator shall
account for the rights of the Class C-B-1 Certificateholders to receive
payments from the Class C-B-1 Basis Risk Reserve Fund as rights in an
interest rate cap contract written by the Class C-B-1X Certificateholders in
favor of the Class C-B-1 Certificateholders and not as an obligation of
REMIC IV, whose obligation to pay such Certificates will be subject to a cap
equal to the Class C-B-1 Cap Rate and shall account for such rights as
property held separate and apart from the regular interests as required by
Treasury regulation section 1.860G-2(i). Any amounts transferred to the
Class C-B-1 Basis Risk Reserve Fund by REMIC IV shall be treated as a
distribution to the Class C-B-1X Certificates. In addition, the Class C-B-1X
Certificateholders shall be deemed to have entered into a contractual
arrangement with the Class AR and Class AR-L Certificateholders whereby the
Class AR and Class AR-L Certificateholders agree to pay to the Class C-B-1X
Certificateholders on each Distribution Date amounts that would, in the
absence of such contractual agreement, be distributable with respect to the
residual interest in REMIC IV pursuant to Section 4.09(b) and (e) (which
amounts are expected to be zero). Thus the Class C-B-1 Certificates shall be
treated as representing ownership of not only REMIC IV regular interests, but
also ownership of an interest in an interest rate cap contract. Each
Class C-B-1X Certificate shall represent an obligation under an interest rate
cap contract. For purposes of determining the issue price of REMIC IV
regular interests, the Trust Administrator shall assume that the interest
rate cap contract has a value of $5,000.
For any Distribution Date on which there is a payment under the
Class C-B-1 Interest Rate Cap Agreement based on a notional balance in excess
of the Class Principal Balance of the Class C-B-1 Certificates, the amount
representing such excess payment shall not be an asset of the Trust and,
instead, shall be paid into and distributed out of a separate trust created
by this Agreement for the benefit of the Class C-B-1 Certificates and shall
be distributed to the Class C-B-1 Certificates pursuant to
Section 4.01(I)(A)(i)(xiii). The Trust Administrator shall not be
responsible for any tax reporting with respect to such separate trust.
For any Distribution Date on which there is a payment under the
Class 9-A-4 Interest Rate Cap Agreement based on a notional balance in excess
of the Class Principal Balance of the Class 9-A-4 Certificates, the amount
representing such excess payment shall not be an asset of the Trust and,
instead, shall be paid into and distributed out of a separate trust created
by this Agreement for the benefit of the Group 9 Certificates and shall be
distributed to the Group 9 Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(II)(d)(vi).
The Trust Administrator shall not be responsible for any tax reporting with
respect to such separate trust.
For any Distribution Date on which there is a payment under the
Class 9-A-5 Interest Rate Cap Agreement based on a notional balance in excess
of the Class Principal Balance of the Class 9-A-5 Certificates, the amount
representing such excess payment shall not be an asset of the Trust and,
instead, shall be paid into and distributed out of a separate trust created
by this Agreement for the benefit of the Group 9 Certificates and shall be
distributed to the Group 9 Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(II)(d)(vi).
The Trust Administrator shall not be responsible for any tax reporting with
respect to such separate trust.
For any Distribution Date on which there is a payment under the
Class 9-A-6 Interest Rate Cap Agreement based on a notional balance in excess
of the Class Principal Balance of the Class 9-A-6 Certificates, the amount
representing such excess payment shall not be an asset of the Trust and,
instead, shall be paid into and distributed out of a separate trust created
by this Agreement for the benefit of the Group 9 Certificates and shall be
distributed to the Group 9 Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(II)(d)(vi).
The Trust Administrator shall not be responsible for any tax reporting with
respect to such separate trust.
For any Distribution Date on which there is a payment under the
Class 9-A-7 Interest Rate Cap Agreement based on a notional balance in excess
of the Class Principal Balance of the Class 9-A-7 Certificates, the amount
representing such excess payment shall not be an asset of the Trust and,
instead, shall be paid into and distributed out of a separate trust created
by this Agreement for the benefit of the Group 9 Certificates and shall be
distributed to the Group 9 Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(II)(d)(vi).
The Trust Administrator shall not be responsible for any tax reporting with
respect to such separate trust.
SECTION 2.08. Covenants of the Master Servicer and each Servicer.
The Master Servicer and each Servicer, severally and not jointly,
hereby covenants to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator as
follows:
(a) Such Servicer or the Master Servicer shall comply in the performance of
its obligations under this Agreement with all reasonable rules and
requirements of the insurer under each Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy; and
(b) No written information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished
in writing or written report delivered to the Depositor, any affiliate of the
Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator and prepared by the Master
Servicer or such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement will contain any untrue
statement of a material fact.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01. Servicers to Service Mortgage Loans.
For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, as independent
contractors of the Trust, (i) each Servicer, severally and not jointly, shall
service and administer the related Non-Designated Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing
Practices, (ii) the Master Servicer shall, in accordance with Section 3.03 of
this Agreement, master service and administer the Non-Designated Mortgage
Loans (other than the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans) by overseeing and
enforcing the servicing of the Non-Designated Mortgage Loans by the related
Servicer (other than WMMSC) according to the terms of this Agreement and
(iii) the Master Servicer shall, in accordance with the Section 3.22 of this
Agreement, master service and administer the Designated Mortgage Loans by
overseeing and enforcing the servicing of the Designated Mortgage Loans by
the related Designated Servicer according to the terms of the related
Designated Servicing Agreement. The obligations of each of SPS, GreenPoint,
Xxxxx Fargo and WMMSC hereunder to service and administer the Mortgage Loans
shall be limited to the SPS Serviced Mortgage Loans, GreenPoint Serviced
Mortgage Loans, Xxxxx Fargo Serviced Mortgage Loans and WMMSC Serviced
Mortgage Loans, respectively; and with respect to the duties and obligations
of each Servicer, references herein to related "Mortgage Loans" shall be
limited to the SPS Serviced Mortgage Loans (and the related proceeds thereof
and related REO Properties) in the case of SPS, GreenPoint Serviced Mortgage
Loans (and the related proceeds thereof and related REO Properties) in the
case of GreenPoint, Xxxxx Fargo Serviced Mortgage Loans (and the related
proceeds thereof and related REO Properties) in the case of Xxxxx Fargo and
the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans (and the related proceeds thereof and
related REO Properties), in the case of WMMSC; and in no event shall any
Servicer have any responsibility or liability with respect to any of the
other Mortgage Loans. The obligations of the Master Servicer to master
service and administer the Non-Designated Mortgage Loans shall be limited to
the GreenPoint Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Xxxxx Fargo Serviced Mortgage
Loans, the SPS Serviced Mortgage Loans and the Special Serviced Mortgage
Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
the Master Servicer shall have no obligations to master service or administer
the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans. In connection with such servicing and
administration of the Non-Designated Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer and
each Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or
through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, 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 (i) to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trust, customary consents or
waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of
any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related
Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to
collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to
effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged
Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that neither the Master
Servicer nor a Servicer shall take any action that is inconsistent with or
prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any
Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator or the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The
Master Servicer and each Servicer shall represent and protect the interests
of the Trust Fund 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 Mortgage Loan that would cause any REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any
tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer and each Servicer, in
its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trust, is hereby
authorized and empowered by the Depositor, the Trust and the Trust
Administrator, when the Master Servicer or such Servicer believes it
appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the Trust, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect
to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
The Master Servicer and each Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the
Depositor and/or the Trustee and/or the Trust Administrator such documents
requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary
or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or such Servicer to master
service and administer or service and administer the Mortgage Loans, as
applicable, to the extent that the Master Servicer or such Servicer is not
permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding
sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee
or the Trust Administrator shall execute such documents and deliver them to
the Master Servicer or such Servicer.
In accordance with the standards of the first paragraph of this
Section 3.01 and unless determined in good faith to be a Nonrecoverable
Advance, each 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 related to the Non-Designated Mortgage Loans,
which advances constitute Servicing Advances and shall be reimbursable in the
first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to
Section 3.06, and further as provided in Section 3.08. In no event will any
Servicer be required to make any Servicing Advance which would constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance. The costs incurred by a Servicer, if any, in
effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties related to the Non-Designated Mortgage Loans 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 Non-Designated Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such
Non-Designated Mortgage Loans so permit.
Each Servicer hereby acknowledges that, to the extent such
Servicer has previously serviced some or all of the Non-Designated Mortgage
Loans pursuant to another servicing agreement, the provisions contained in
this Agreement shall supersede the provisions contained in such other
servicing agreement from and after the Closing Date, except as specifically
provided in the related Servicer Letter Agreement. In addition, the Master
Servicer hereby acknowledges that, to the extent the Master Servicer or any
Designated Servicer has previously serviced some or all of the Designated
Mortgage Loans pursuant to another servicing agreement, the provisions
contained in the related Designated Servicing Agreement shall supersede the
provisions contained in such other servicing agreement from and after the
Closing Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with
respect to any action which according to the terms of this Agreement is to be
performed by the Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer, (i) if such
action relates to a WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan, only WMMSC shall have an
obligation to perform such action, and (ii) if such action relates to a
Mortgage Loan which is not a WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related
Servicer shall have an obligation to perform such action, and the Master
Servicer in its capacity as successor servicer shall also have an obligation
to perform such action, but only if the related Servicer fails to do so.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i)
the purchase of any WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan by any Person shall be
subject to the rights of WMMSC to continue servicing such WMMSC Serviced
Mortgage Loan for the same Servicing Fee substantially in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, (ii) the purchase of any GreenPoint Serviced
Mortgage Loan by any Person shall be subject to the rights of GreenPoint to
continue servicing such GreenPoint Serviced Mortgage Loan for the same
servicing fee substantially in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and (iii) the purchase of any Xxxxx Fargo Serviced Mortgage Loan by any
Person shall be subject to the rights of Xxxxx Fargo to continue servicing
such Xxxxx Fargo Serviced Mortgage Loan for the same servicing fee
substantially in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to
the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans), the related Servicer, other than WMMSC,
will fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its
implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable
and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans
Union Credit Information Company, on a monthly basis.
With respect to each WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan, WMMSC will
furnish information regarding its borrower credit files to credit reporting
agencies in compliance with the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act
and its implementing regulations applicable to WMMSC.
Each Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on
behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the
name of any Subservicer, when a Servicer or any Subservicer, as the case may
be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment to register any related
Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, or cause the removal from the registration
of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, to execute and deliver, on behalf
of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all
instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to
such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as
nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns.
SECTION 3.02. Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of
Subservicers.
(a) The Non-Designated Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer
on behalf of the related Servicer in accordance with the servicing provisions
of this Agreement, provided that the Subservicer is a FNMA-approved lender or
a FHLMC seller/servicer in good standing. With respect to the Non-Designated
Mortgage Loans, each Servicer may perform any of its servicing
responsibilities hereunder or may cause the Subservicer to perform any such
servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by such Servicer of the
Subservicer shall not release such Servicer from any of its obligations
hereunder and such Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts
and omissions of the Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were
those of such Servicer. With respect to the Non-Designated Mortgage Loans,
each Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of any Subservicer engaged by
such Servicer from its own funds.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Non-Designated
Mortgage Loans, each Servicer shall be entitled to outsource one or more
separate servicing functions to a Person (each, an "Outsourcer") that does
not meet the eligibility requirements for a Subservicer, so long as such
outsourcing does not constitute the delegation of such Servicer's obligation
to perform all or substantially all of the servicing of the related
Non-Designated Mortgage Loans to such Outsourcer. In such event, the use by
a Servicer of any such Outsourcer shall not release the related Servicer from
any of its obligations hereunder and such Servicer shall remain responsible
hereunder for all acts and omissions of such Outsourcer as fully as if such
acts and omissions were those of such Servicer, and such Servicer shall pay
all fees and expenses of the Outsourcer from such Servicer's own funds.
Each Servicer may in connection with its duties as Servicer
hereunder enter into transactions with any of its Affiliates relating to the
Non-Designated Mortgage Loans; provided that (a) such Servicer acts (i) in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement,
and (ii) in the ordinary course of business of such Servicer; and (b) the
terms of such transaction are no less favorable to such Servicer than it
would obtain in a comparable arm's-length transaction with a Person that is
not an Affiliate of such Servicer. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
any such transaction between a Servicer and any of its Affiliates shall not
release such Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and such Servicer
shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of such
Affiliate with respect to such Mortgage Loans serviced by it as fully as if
such acts and omissions were those of such Servicer. Any fees and expenses
relating to such transaction between such Servicer and its Affiliate that are
not otherwise reimbursable to such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement shall
be borne by the parties thereto and shall not be an expense or fee of the
Trust, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Seller or the
Master Servicer.
(b) With respect to any Non-Designated Mortgage Loans, at the cost and
expense of a Servicer, without any right of reimbursement from the Depositor,
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the applicable Collection Account,
such Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities
of its Subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be
performed by a successor Subservicer meeting the requirements set forth in
Section 3.02(a), provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to prevent or prohibit such Servicer, at such Servicer's option, from
electing to service the related Non-Designated Mortgage Loans itself. In the
event that a Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are
terminated pursuant to Section 8.01, and if requested to do so by the Trustee
or Trust Administrator or such Servicer shall, at its own cost and expense
terminate the rights and responsibilities of its Subservicer as soon as is
reasonably possible. Each Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties
necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of its

(c) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to
agreements or arrangements between a Servicer and its Subservicer or a
Servicer and its Outsourcer, or any reference herein to actions taken through
the Subservicer, the Outsourcer, or otherwise, the related Servicer shall not
be relieved of its obligations to the Depositor, the Trust, Trustee, the
Trust Administrator or Certificateholders and shall be obligated to the same
extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing
and administering the related Non-Designated Mortgage Loans. Each Servicer
shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with its Subservicer and
Outsourcer for indemnification of such Servicer by such Subservicer or
Outsourcer, as applicable, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
For purposes of this Agreement, a Servicer shall be deemed to
have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the
related Non-Designated Mortgage Loans that are received by a related
Subservicer regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the
Subservicer to such Servicer.
Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services
relating to the Non-Designated Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer shall
be deemed to be between the Subservicer, and the related Servicer alone, and
the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer, the
other Servicers and the Special Servicer shall have no obligations, duties or
liabilities with respect to a Subservicer including no obligation, duty or
liability of the Depositor, Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer or other Servicers to pay a Subservicer's fees
and expenses.

Trust Administrator shall be required before SPS may cause to be outstanding
at one time more than one Facility. Notwithstanding the existence of any

Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this
Agreement, and to perform all duties and obligations of SPS under this
Agreement and shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such
Facility.

SECTION 3.03. Master Servicing by Master Servicer.
For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer
shall oversee and enforce the obligation of GreenPoint, Xxxxx Fargo and SPS
to service and administer the GreenPoint Serviced Mortgage Loans, Xxxxx Fargo
Serviced Mortgage Loans and SPS Serviced Mortgage Loans, respectively, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall have full power and
authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable
in connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing
its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner
consistent with this Agreement and with customary and usual standards of
practice of prudent mortgage loan master servicers. Furthermore, the Master
Servicer shall oversee and consult with GreenPoint, Xxxxx Fargo and SPS as
necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer's obligations
hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and
other data provided to the Master Servicer by GreenPoint, Xxxxx Fargo and SPS
and shall cause each of GreenPoint, Xxxxx Fargo and SPS to perform and
observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed
by such Servicer under this Agreement.
With respect to any Distribution Date, no later than the related
Cash Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Trust
Administrator for deposit in the Certificate Account the amount of the
Compensating Interest Payment for the Master Servicer, with respect to the
GreenPoint Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Xxxxx Fargo Serviced Mortgage Loans,
SPS Serviced Mortgage Loans and the Designated Mortgage Loans, for the
related Prepayment Period to the extent GreenPoint, Xxxxx Fargo, SPS or the
related Designated Servicer default in their obligation to make such
Compensating Interest Payment pursuant to Section 3.05. The aggregate of
such deposits shall be made from the Master Servicer's own funds, without
reimbursement therefor.
SECTION 3.04. Trustee to Act as Master Servicer or Servicer.
In the event that (A) the Master Servicer shall for any reason no
longer be Master Servicer hereunder or (B) any Servicer shall for any reason
no longer be a Servicer hereunder and, with respect to any Servicer other
than WMMSC, the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be Master
Servicer hereunder (including, in each case, by reason of an Event of
Default), the Trustee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer or such Servicer hereunder
arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for
losses of the Master Servicer or such Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09
hereof or any acts or omissions of the related predecessor of the Master
Servicer or such Servicer hereunder, (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is
prohibited from doing so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate
repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not
limited to, repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Section 2.02 or 2.03 hereof or (iv) deemed to have made any representations
and warranties of the Master Servicer or such Servicer hereunder). Any such
assumption shall be subject to Section 8.02 hereof.
Each Servicer shall, upon request of the Trust Administrator, but
at the expense of such Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents
and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement or substitute
Subservicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder
and hereunder by such Servicer and an accounting of amounts collected or held
by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient
transfer of the Subservicing Agreement or substitute Subservicing Agreement
to the assuming party.
SECTION 3.05. Collection of Mortgage Loans; Collection Accounts;
Certificate Account.
(a) Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on
all Non-Designated Mortgage Loans have been paid in full or such
Non-Designated Mortgage Loans have become Liquidated Mortgage Loans, each
Servicer shall proceed in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices to
collect all payments due under each of the related Non-Designated Mortgage
Loans when the same shall become due and payable to the extent consistent
with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Mortgage
Guaranty Insurance Policy and shall take special care with respect to the
Non-Designated Mortgage Loans for which a Servicer collects escrow payments
in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments and all other charges that
will become due and payable with respect to the Non-Designated Mortgage Loans
and the related Mortgaged Properties, to the end that the installments
payable by the related Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as
and when they become due and payable. Consistent with the foregoing, in
connection with Non-Designated Mortgage Loans which it is directly servicing,
each 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
Non-Designated Mortgage Loan and (ii) extend the Due Dates for payments due
on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180 days; provided, however,
that no such Servicer can extend the maturity of any such Non-Designated
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 related Servicer shall make Advances on the related
Non-Designated Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of
Section 5.01 during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization
schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such
arrangements. No Servicer shall 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) Each Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received
pursuant to a Non-Designated Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its
own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more
Collection Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled
"[Servicer's name], in trust for the Holders of Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Trust 2004-1, Adjustable Rate Mortgage-Backed Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2004-1" or, if established and maintained by a Subservicer on behalf
of a Servicer, "[Subservicer's name], in trust for [Servicer's name]" or
"[Subservicer's name], as agent, trustee and/or bailee of principal and
interest custodial account for [Servicer's name], its successors and assigns,
for various owners of interest in [Servicer's name] mortgage-backed pools.
In the event that a Subservicer employs a subservicer, the Collection Account
shall be titled "[name of Subservicer's subservicer], in trust for
[Subservicer's name]." Each Collection Account maintained by each Servicer
(other than Xxxxx Fargo), shall be an Eligible Account acceptable to the
Depositor and the Trust Administrator. Each Collection Account maintained by
Xxxxx Fargo shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in a Collection
Account may be drawn on by the related Servicer in accordance with
Section 3.08. Any funds deposited in a Collection Account (other than an
account established by WMMSC) shall either be invested in Eligible
Investments or at all times be fully insured to the full extent permitted
under applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, one of the Collection
Accounts established by WMMSC shall be an Investment Account.
(c) Each Servicer shall deposit in the applicable Collection Account on a
daily basis, unless otherwise indicated, and retain therein, the following
collections remitted by Subservicers or payments received by such Servicer
and payments made by such Servicer subsequent to the Cut-off Date, other than
payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date:
(i) all payments on account of principal on the related Non-Designated
Mortgage Loans, including all Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the related Non-Designated
Mortgage Loans adjusted to the per annum rate equal to the Mortgage
Rate reduced by the sum of the related Expense Fee Rate, as applicable;
(iii) all Liquidation Proceeds on the related Non-Designated Mortgage Loans;
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds on the related Non-Designated Mortgage Loans
including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.09
(other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to
the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with Section 3.09);
(v) all Advances made by such Servicer pursuant to Section 5.01;
(vi) no later than the withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 3.08(a)(viii) each month, the applicable amount of the
Compensating Interest Payment for such Servicer for the related
Prepayment Period. The aggregate of such deposits shall be made from
such Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement therefore;
(vii) any amounts required to be deposited by such Servicer in respect of net
monthly income from REO Property related to any Non-Designated Mortgage
Loan pursuant to Section 3.11; and
(viii) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.
The foregoing requirements for deposit into each Collection
Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to the Non-Designated
Mortgage Loans, Ancillary Income need not be deposited by such Servicer into
such Collection Account. In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 3.05, each Servicer may deduct from amounts received by it, prior to
deposit into the applicable Collection Account, any portion of any Scheduled
Payment representing (i) the applicable Servicing Fee and (ii) with respect
to each Non-Designated Mortgage Loan covered by a Lender Paid Mortgage
Guaranty Insurance Policy, any amounts required to effect timely payment of
the premiums on such Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy pursuant to
Section 3.09(c). In the event that a Servicer shall remit any amount not
required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw or direct the
institution maintaining the related Collection Account to withdraw such
amount from such Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by
delivering written notice thereof to the Trustee or such other institution
maintaining such Collection Account which describes the amounts deposited in
error in such Collection Account. Each Servicer shall maintain adequate
records with respect to all withdrawals made by it pursuant to this Section.
All funds deposited in a Collection Account shall be held in trust for the
Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08(a).
(d) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall
establish and maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Certificate

Designated Servicer to the Master Servicer or Trust Administrator
pursuant to their respective Designated Servicing Agreements;

In the event that the Master Servicer or a Servicer shall remit
to the Trust Administrator any amount not required to be remitted, the Master
Servicer or such Servicer, as applicable, may at any time direct the Trust
Administrator 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 Trust
Administrator which describes the amounts deposited in error in the
Certificate Account. All funds deposited in the Certificate Account shall be
held by the Trust Administrator in trust for the Certificate holders until
disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with
Section 3.08(b). In no event shall the Trust Administrator incur liability
for withdrawals from the Certificate Account at the direction of the Master
Servicer or any Servicer.
(e) Each institution at which a Collection Account, the Certificate Account
or the Prefunding Account is maintained shall either hold such funds on
deposit uninvested or shall invest the funds therein as directed in writing
by the related Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Depositor,
respectively, in Eligible Investments, which shall mature not later than (i)
in the case of a Collection Account, the Cash Remittance Date, (ii) in the

funds are managed or advised by the Trust Administrator or its affiliates,
and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed or prior to its maturity.
All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such balances or
investment of funds on deposit in a Collection Account shall be for the
benefit of the related Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be
remitted to it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any realized losses
in a Collection Account incurred in any such account in respect of any such
investments shall promptly be deposited by the related Servicer in the
related Collection Account. Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator
shall be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any
investment or lack of investment of funds held in a Collection Account or the

and 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 Trust

herein. The amount of any realized losses in the Certificate Account
incurred in any such account in respect of any such investments shall
promptly be deposited by the Trust Administrator in the Certificate Account.
All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such balances or
investment of funds on deposit in the Prefunding Account shall be for the
benefit of the Depositor and shall be remitted to it monthly. The amount of
any net investment losses in the Prefunding Account shall promptly be
deposited by the Depositor in the Prefunding Account.
(f) Each Servicer, other than Xxxxx Fargo, shall give notice to the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, each related Seller, each Rating Agency,
and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the related
Collection Account prior to any change thereof. Xxxxx Fargo shall give
notice to the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the related
Collection Account prior to any change thereof and, upon receipt of such
notice, the Depositor shall give notice to the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, each related Seller and each Rating Agency. The Trust

Sections 2.01(f) and (g), with respect to the related Subsequent Transfer
Agreement, the Trust Administrator shall remit to the Depositor the
applicable Aggregate Subsequent Transfer Amount as payment of the purchase
price for the related Subsequent Mortgage Loans.
If any funds remain in the Prefunding Account on November 30,
2004, to the extent that they represent earnings on the amounts originally

transferred to the Certificate Account to be included as part of principal
distributions to the Certificates on the December 2004 Distribution Date.

coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the
Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount which is at least equal to the
lesser of (i) the replacement value of the improvements securing such
Non-Designated Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater of (A) the outstanding
principal balance of such Non-Designated Mortgage Loan and (B) an amount such
that the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor
and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co insurer.
If upon origination of the Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, the
related Mortgaged Property was located 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 related
Servicer shall cause a flood insurance policy to be maintained with respect
to such Non-Designated Mortgage Loan. Such policy shall meet the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration and be in an amount representing coverage equal to the lesser
of (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to
compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the unpaid
principal balance of the mortgage if replacement cost coverage is not
available for the type of building insured) and (ii) the maximum amount of
insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973,
as amended.
If a Mortgage related to a Non-Designated Mortgage Loan is
secured by a unit in a condominium project, the related Servicer shall verify
that the coverage required of the owner's association, including hazard,
flood, liability, and fidelity coverage, is being maintained in accordance
with the requirements of the related Servicer for mortgage loans that it
services on its own account.
Each Servicer shall cause to be maintained on each Mortgaged
Property related to a Non-Designated Mortgage Loan such other additional
special hazard insurance as may be required pursuant to such applicable laws
and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance, or pursuant to the requirements of any Mortgage
Guaranty Insurance Policy insurer, or as may be required to conform with
Accepted Servicing Practices to the extent permitted by the Mortgage Note,
the Mortgage or applicable law provided that the related Servicer shall not
be required to bear the cost of such insurance.
All policies required hereunder shall name the related Servicer
as loss payee and shall be endorsed with standard or union mortgagee clauses,
without contribution, which shall provide for prior written notice of any
cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage.
Each Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of
choice at the origination of such Non-Designated Mortgage Loan in selecting
either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that such Servicer
shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless
such companies are rated: B:III or better in Best's or acceptable to FNMA or
FHLMC and are licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the
Mortgaged Property is located. The related Servicer shall determine that such
policies provide sufficient risk coverage and amounts, that they insure the
property owner, and that they properly describe the property address.
Pursuant to Section 3.05, any amounts collected by a Servicer
under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the related
Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related
Mortgaged Property, or property acquired in liquidation of the Non-Designated
Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the Mortgagor, in accordance with such
Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the related
Collection Account (subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.08(a)).
Any cost incurred by a Servicer in maintaining any such insurance
shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the
Certificateholders or remittances to the Trust Administrator for their
benefit, be added to the principal balance of the Non-Designated Mortgage
Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Non-Designated Mortgage Loan so
permit. Such costs shall constitute a Servicing Advance and will be
reimbursable to the related Servicer to the extent permitted by Section 3.08
hereof. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional
insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor related to a Non-Designated
Mortgage Loan or maintained on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage
related to a Non-Designated Mortgage Loan other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance.
(b) In the event that a Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy
insuring against losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended
coverage on all of the related Non-Designated Mortgage Loans, then, to the
extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount
required pursuant to Section 3.09(a) and otherwise complies with all other
requirements of Section 3.09(a), it shall conclusively be deemed to have
satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 3.09(a). Any amounts
collected by a Servicer under any such policy relating to a Non-Designated
Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the related Collection Account subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.08(a). Such policy may contain a deductible
clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been maintained
on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with Section 3.09(a),
and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such
policy, the related Servicer shall deposit in the related Collection Account
at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket
policy because of such deductible clause, such amount to be deposited from
such Servicer's funds, without reimbursement therefor. Upon request of the
Trust Administrator, a Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trust
Administrator a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the
insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or
materially modified without 30 days' prior written notice to the Trust
Administrator. In connection with its activities as Servicer of the related
Non-Designated Mortgage Loans, such Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of
itself, the Depositor, and the Trust Administrator for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy.
(c) With respect to each Non-Designated Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value
Ratio in excess of 80% which the related Seller represented to be covered by
a Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy as of the Cut-off Date, the related
Servicer shall, without any cost to the Depositor or Trust Administrator,
maintain or cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and effect a
Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy insuring that portion of the
Non-Designated Mortgage Loan in excess of 75% of value, and shall pay or
shall cause the Mortgagor to pay, the premium thereon on a timely basis,
until the loan-to-value ratio of such Non-Designated Mortgage Loan is reduced
to 80%, based on either (i) a current appraisal of the Mortgaged Property or
(ii) the appraisal of the Mortgaged Property obtained at the time the
Non-Designated Mortgage Loan was originated. In the event that such Mortgage
Guaranty Insurance Policy shall be terminated prior to the loan-to-value
ratio of such Non-Designated Mortgage Loan being reduced to 80%, the related
Servicer shall obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement
policy, with a total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such
terminated Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy. If the insurer shall cease to
be a Qualified Insurer, the related Servicer shall determine whether
recoveries under the Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy are jeopardized for
reasons related to the financial condition of such insurer, it being
understood that such Servicer shall in no event have any responsibility or
liability for any failure to recover under the Mortgage Guaranty Insurance
Policy for such reason. If the related Servicer determines that recoveries
are so jeopardized, it shall notify the Mortgagor, if required, and obtain
from another Qualified Insurer a replacement insurance policy. The related
Servicer shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under
any applicable Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for
the actions of such Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In
connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to
be entered into pursuant to Section 3.10, each Servicer shall promptly notify
the insurer under the related Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy, if any, of
such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of
such Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy and shall take all actions which may
be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage
under such Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy provided that such required
actions are in compliance with all applicable law. If such Mortgage Guaranty
Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution
of liability, the related Servicer shall obtain a replacement Mortgage
Guaranty Insurance Policy as provided above; provided that under applicable
law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage the cost of such
policy may be charged to the successor Mortgagor.
With respect to each Non-Designated Mortgage Loan covered by a
Lender Paid Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy, the applicable Servicer
agrees to effect timely payment of the premiums on such Mortgage Guaranty
Insurance Policy from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, or
deducted by such Servicer prior to deposit into the applicable Collection
Account or pursuant to Section 3.05(c) with respect to such Non-Designated
Mortgage Loan. If amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, or deducted
by such Servicer prior to deposit into the applicable Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.05(c) with respect to such Non-Designated Mortgage
Loan, are not sufficient to pay the premiums on such Mortgage Guaranty
Insurance Policy, the applicable Servicer agrees to effect timely payment of
such premiums, and such costs shall be recoverable by such Servicer from the
related Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise as a Servicing Advance pursuant to
Section 3.08(a). With respect to each Non-Designated Mortgage Loan covered
by a Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy that is not Lender Paid, the Servicer
agrees to effect timely payment of the premiums on such Mortgage Guaranty
Insurance Policy, and such costs not otherwise recoverable from the Mortgagor
shall be recoverable by such Servicer from the related Liquidation Proceeds
or otherwise as a Servicing Advance pursuant to Section 3.08(a).
(d) In connection with its activities as servicer, each Servicer agrees to
prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Depositor, the Trust, the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Certificateholders, claims to the
insurer under any Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy related to a
Non-Designated Mortgage Loan in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms
of such Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such
reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Mortgage
Guaranty Insurance Policy respecting defaulted Non-Designated Mortgage Loans.
Pursuant to Section 3.05, any amounts collected by a Servicer under any
Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the related
Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.08.
(e) With respect to any Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, each Servicer need
not obtain the approval of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator prior to
releasing any Insurance Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. At a minimum, each Servicer
shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such
release of Insurance Proceeds:
(i) such Servicer shall receive satisfactory independent verification of
completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with
respect thereto;
(ii) such Servicer shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority
of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring
waivers with respect to mechanics' and materialmen's liens; and
(iii) pending repairs or restoration, such Servicer shall place the Insurance
Proceeds in the related Escrow Account.
(f) With respect to any Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, if the Trust
Administrator is named as an additional loss payee, the related Servicer is
hereby empowered to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such a claim
in the name of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator.
SECTION 3.10. Enforcement of Due on Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
(a) With respect to a Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, each Servicer shall use
its best efforts to enforce any "due-on-sale" provision contained in any
related Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny assumption by the person to
whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be sold whether by
absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor
remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note. When the Mortgaged
Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the related Servicer shall, to
the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to
accelerate the maturity of such Non-Designated Mortgage Loan under the
"due-on-sale" clause applicable thereto, provided, however, that such
Servicer shall not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or
if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair any
recovery under the related Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy, if any.
(b) With respect to a Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, if a Servicer
reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such
"due-on-sale" clause, such Servicer shall enter into (i) an assumption and
modification agreement with the person to whom such property has been
conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage
Note and the original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event
such Servicer is unable under applicable law to require that the original
Mortgagor remain liable under the Mortgage Note, a substitution of liability
agreement with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the
original Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the
Mortgaged Property is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the
Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Servicer shall not be deemed
to be in default under this Section by reason of any transfer or assumption
which such Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from
preventing, for any reason whatsoever. In connection with any such
assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note, including without
limitation, the Mortgage Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of
the Non-Designated Mortgage Loan or the outstanding principal amount of the
Non-Designated Mortgage Loan shall be changed.
(c) To the extent that any Non-Designated Mortgage Loan is assumable, the
related Servicer shall inquire diligently into the creditworthiness of the
proposed transferee, and shall use the underwriting criteria for approving
the credit of the proposed transferee which are used by FNMA with respect to
underwriting mortgage loans of the same type as the Non-Designated Mortgage
Loans. If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such
underwriting criteria, the related Servicer diligently shall, to the extent
permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law,
accelerate the maturity of the Non-Designated Mortgage Loan.
(d) With respect to a Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, subject to each
Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent set forth in
this Section 3.10, in any case in which the related Mortgaged Property has
been conveyed to a Person by the related Mortgagor, and such Person is to
enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to
the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or
if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the
Mortgagor from liability on the Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, such Servicer
shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the
Trustee for signature and shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to 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. Together with each such
substitution, assumption or other agreement or instrument delivered to the
Trustee for execution by it, the related Servicer shall deliver an Officer's
Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the requirements of
this subsection have been met in connection therewith. The related Servicer
shall notify the Trustee and the Trust Administrator that any such
substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator a copy of such substitution or assumption
agreement, and shall forward the original to the Custodian which 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 a Servicer for
entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be
retained by such Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
SECTION 3.11. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of
Certain Mortgage Loans.
(a) Each Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the
related Non-Designated 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, each Servicer shall take such action as (i) such Servicer would
take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar mortgage loan held
for its own account for investment, (ii) shall be consistent with Accepted
Servicing Practices, (iii) such Servicer shall determine consistently with
Accepted Servicing Practices to be in the best interest of the Trust and
Certificateholders, and (iv) is consistent with the requirements of the
insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided, however, that such
Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any
foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall
determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the
proceeds of liquidation of the related Non-Designated Mortgage Loan after
reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be
recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds. Any funds expended by any
Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.11(a) shall be reimbursable in full
pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(iii). The related Servicer shall be responsible
for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings;
provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from
the Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or
otherwise as a Servicing Advance in accordance with Section 3.08(a).
With respect to any Non-Designated Mortgage Loans,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in
connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure,
in the event the related Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that the
related Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances
or wastes, or if the Trust Administrator otherwise requests, an environmental
inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property conducted by a qualified
inspector shall be arranged for by such Servicer. Upon completion of the
inspection, the related Servicer shall promptly provide the Trust
Administrator with a written report of environmental inspection.
In the event the environmental inspection report indicates that
the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or
wastes, the related Servicer shall not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance
of a deed in lieu of foreclosure if the estimated costs of the environmental
clean up, as estimated in the environmental inspection report, together with
the Servicing Advances and Advances made by such Servicer and the estimated
costs of foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure exceeds
the estimated value of the Mortgaged Property. If however, the aggregate of
such clean up and foreclosure costs, Advances and Servicing Advances are less
than or equal to the estimated value of the Mortgaged Property, then the
related Servicer may, in its reasonable judgment and in accordance with
Accepted Servicing Practices, choose to proceed with foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and such Servicer shall be
reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental
clean up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if
the Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to reimburse fully such Servicer,
such Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the related
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.08(a) hereof. In the event the
related Servicer does not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in
lieu of foreclosure pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph, such
Servicer shall be reimbursed for all Advances and Servicing Advances made
with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the related Collection
Account pursuant to Section 3.08(a) hereof, and such Servicer shall have no
further obligation to service such Non-Designated Mortgage Loan under the
provisions of this Agreement.
(b) With respect to any REO Property related to a Non-Designated Mortgage
Loan, subject to applicable law, 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 related Servicer shall
ensure that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement and the
Trustee capacity hereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO
Property, the related Servicer shall in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the
purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. The related Servicer, either
itself or through an agent selected by such Servicer, shall manage, conserve,
protect and operate the 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. Upon request, the related Servicer shall furnish
to the Trust Administrator on or before each Distribution Date a statement
with respect to any REO Property covering the operation of such REO Property
for the previous calendar month and such Servicer's efforts in connection
with the sale of such REO Property and any rental of such REO Property
incidental to the sale thereof for the previous calendar month. That
statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Trust
Administrator shall reasonably request and which is necessary to enable the
Trust Administrator to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC
Provisions. The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property
shall be deposited in the related Collection Account no later than the close
of business on each Determination Date. The related Servicer shall perform
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 any tax reporting 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, and delivering the same to the Trust
Administrator for filing.
To the extent consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, the
related Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property related to a
Non-Designated Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage
in an amount which is equal to the outstanding principal balance of the
related Non-Designated Mortgage Loan (as reduced by any amount applied as a
reduction of principal at the time of acquisition of the REO Property),
liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount
required above.
(c) In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property
prior to three years after the end of the calendar year of its acquisition by
the Trust Fund unless (i) the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall have
been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by
the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year
period will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" of any REMIC hereunder as defined in section 860F of the Code
or cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue
to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such
Opinion of Counsel) or (ii) the applicable Servicer shall have applied for,
prior to the expiration of such three-year period, an extension of such
three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the
Code, in which case the three-year period shall be extended by the applicable
extension period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no
Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to
continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or
on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that
would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure
property" within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii)
subject any REMIC hereunder to the imposition of any federal, state or local
income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under
Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the related Servicer has
agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the
imposition of any such taxes.
In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose
obligors is not a United States Person, as that term is defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or
acquisition of a deed in lieu of foreclosure (together, "foreclosure") in
respect of such Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer will cause compliance
with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any
successor thereto) necessary to assure that no withholding tax obligation
arises with respect to the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the extent,
if any, that proceeds of such foreclosure are required to be remitted to the
obligors on such Mortgage Loan.
(d) The decision of a Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Non-Designated
Mortgage Loan shall be subject to a determination by such Servicer that the
proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing
such a proceeding. The income earned from the management of any REO
Properties, net of reimbursement to such Servicer for expenses incurred
(including any property or other taxes) in connection with such management
and net of applicable accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees, and unreimbursed
Advances and Servicing Advances, shall be applied to the payment of principal
of and interest on the related defaulted Non-Designated Mortgage Loans (with
interest accruing as though such Non-Designated 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 related Collection 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 Rate on the related Non-Designated Mortgage Loan for
such calendar month, such excess shall be considered to be a partial
prepayment of principal of the related Non-Designated Mortgage Loan.
(e) The proceeds from any liquidation of a Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, as
well as any income from a related REO Property, will be applied in the
following order of priority: first, to reimburse the related Servicer for any
related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees; second, to
reimburse such Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances; third, to reimburse
the related Collection Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions
thereof) that were previously withdrawn by such Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.08(a)(iii) that related to such Non-Designated Mortgage Loan;
fourth, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been
made for such amount or any such Advance has been reimbursed) on the
Non-Designated Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the per annum rate
equal to the related Mortgage Rate reduced by the related Servicing Fee Rate,
and any primary mortgage guaranty insurance fee rate, if applicable, to the
Due Date occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be
distributed; and fifth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan.
Excess proceeds, if any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan
("Excess Proceeds") that is a Non-Designated Mortgage Loan will be retained
by the related Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to
Section 3.14.
(f) Each Servicer of the Non-Designated Mortgage Loans may (but is not
obligated to) enter into a special servicing agreement with an unaffiliated
holder of a 100% Percentage Interest of the most junior class of Subordinate
Certificates, 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 (i) instruct the related Servicer to
commence or delay foreclosure proceedings with respect to delinquent
Non-Designated Mortgage Loans and will contain provisions for the deposit of
cash with such Servicer by the holder that would be available for
distribution to Certificateholders if Liquidation Proceeds are less than they
otherwise may have been had such Servicer acted in accordance with its normal
procedures, (ii) purchase delinquent Non-Designated Mortgage Loans from the
Trust Fund immediately prior to the commencement of foreclosure proceedings
at a price equal to the Purchase Price, and/or (iii) assume all of the
servicing rights and obligations with respect to delinquent Non-Designated
Mortgage Loans so long as such Holder (A) meets the requirements for a
Subservicer set forth in Section 3.02(a), (B) will service such
Non-Designated Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and (C) the
related Servicer has the right to transfer such servicing rights without the
payment of any compensation to a subservicer.
(g) The Special Servicer, at its option, may (but is not obligated to)
purchase from the Trust Fund, (a) any Mortgage Loan that is delinquent in
payment 90 or more days or (b) any related Mortgage Loan with respect to
which there has been initiated legal action or other proceedings for the
foreclosure of the related Mortgaged Property either judicially or
non-judicially, in each case, provided that the applicable Servicer has the
right to transfer the related servicing rights without the payment of any
compensation to a subservicer. Any such purchase shall be made by the
Special Servicer with its own funds at a price equal to the Purchase Price
for such Mortgage Loan. The applicable Servicer shall be entitled to
reimbursement from the Special Servicer for all expenses incurred by it in
connection with the transfer of any Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer
pursuant to this Section 3.11(g).
SECTION 3.12. Trustee and Trust Administrator to Cooperate; Release of
Mortgage Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, or
the receipt by a Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be
escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, such Servicer will
immediately notify the Custodian by delivering, or causing to be delivered a
"Request for Release" substantially in the form of Exhibit K. Upon receipt
of such request, the Custodian shall within three Business Days release the
related Mortgage File to the related Servicer, and the Trustee shall within
three Business Days of such Servicer's direction execute and deliver to such
Servicer the deed of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or
such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage in each case provided by
such Servicer, and the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage Note with written
evidence of cancellation thereon. Expenses incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the
related Mortgagor. From time to time and as shall be appropriate for the
servicing or foreclosure of any Non-Designated 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 Custodian within three
Business Days of delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release in the
form of Exhibit K signed by a Servicing Officer, release the Mortgage File to
the related Servicer. Subject to the further limitations set forth below,
the related Servicer shall cause the Mortgage File or documents so released
to be returned to the Custodian on its behalf, when the need therefor by such
Servicer no longer exists, unless the Non-Designated Mortgage Loan is
liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the related Collection
Account, in which case such Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, or the
Custodian a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit K, signed by a
Servicing Officer. Each Servicer is also authorized to cause the removal
from the registration on the MERS® System of such Mortgage and to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them,
any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full
release, including an assignment of such loan to the Trustee.
If a Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure
proceeding in respect of any Mortgaged Property related to a Non-Designated
Mortgage Loan as authorized by this Agreement, such Servicer shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for signature, as appropriate, any
court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other documents necessary to
effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action brought to obtain judgment
against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or to obtain a

SECTION 3.13. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of a Servicer to
be Held for the Trust.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, each
Servicer shall transmit to the Custodian, as required by this Agreement all
documents and instruments in respect of a Non-Designated Mortgage Loan coming
into the possession of the related Servicer from time to time required to be
delivered to the Trustee, or the Custodian on its behalf, pursuant to the
terms hereof and shall account fully to the Trust Administrator for any funds
received by such Servicer or which otherwise are collected by such Servicer
as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any
Non-Designated Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held
by, or under the control of, a Servicer in respect of any Non-Designated
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 a Collection Account, shall be held by the related
Servicer for and on behalf of the Trust, the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the
Trust, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. Each Servicer
also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or
any funds that are deposited in the related Collection Account, Certificate
Account or any related Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may
become due or payable to the Trust, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security
interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert
by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any

Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, except, however, that such Servicer shall be
entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that
are properly due and payable to such Servicer under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.14. Servicing Fee.
(a) As compensation for its services hereunder, each Servicer shall be
entitled to withdraw from the applicable Collection Account or to retain from
interest payments on the related Non-Designated Mortgage Loans, the amount of
its Servicing Fee, for each Mortgage Loan serviced by it, less any amounts in
respect of its Servicing Fee, as applicable, payable by such Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.05(c)(vi). The Servicing Fee is limited to, and payable
solely from, the interest portion of such Scheduled Payments collected by the
related Servicer or as otherwise provided in Section 3.08(a). In connection
with the servicing of any Special Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special
Servicer shall receive the Servicing Fee for such Special Serviced Mortgage
Loan as its compensation and Ancillary Income with respect to Special
Serviced Mortgage Loans.
(b) With respect to each Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, additional servicing
compensation in the form of Ancillary Income and Excess Proceeds shall be
retained by the related Servicer, and additional servicing compensation in
the form of Payoff Interest not required to make payments in respect of
Compensating Interest Payments shall be retained by SPS and WMMSC, as
applicable. Each Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by
it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including the
payment of any expenses incurred in connection with any Subservicing
Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 3.02 and the payment of any
premiums for insurance required pursuant to Section 3.18) and shall not be
entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for in this
Agreement.
(c) The Master Servicer shall be compensated by the Trust Administrator as
separately agreed. The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee
or agent of the Master Servicer shall be indemnified by DLJMC (or if DLJMC
shall fail to do so, by the Trust) and held harmless against any loss,
liability or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses)
incurred in connection with any claim or legal action relating to (a) this
Agreement, (b) the Certificates or (c) the performance of any of the Master
Servicer's duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense
incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of any of the Master Servicer's duties hereunder or incurred by
reason of any action of the Master Servicer taken at the direction of the
Certificateholders; provided, however, that the sum of (x) such indemnity
amounts payable by DLJMC or the Trust to the Master Servicer pursuant to this
Section 3.14(c) and (y) the indemnity amounts payable by DLJMC or the Trust
to the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section 10.05, shall not exceed
$200,000 per year; provided, further, that any amounts not payable by DLJMC
or the Trust to the Master Servicer due to the preceding proviso shall be
payable by DLJMC (or if DLJMC fails to do so, by the Trust) in any succeeding
year, subject to the aggregate $200,000 per annum limitation imposed by the
preceding proviso. Such indemnity shall survive the termination of this
Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Master Servicer hereunder.
SECTION 3.15. Access to Certain Documentation.
The Master Servicer and each Servicer shall provide to the OTS
and the FDIC and to comparable regulatory authorities supervising Holders of
Subordinate Certificates and the examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS,
the FDIC and such other authorities, access to the documentation regarding
the related Non-Designated Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations
of the OTS and the FDIC. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but
only upon reasonable and prior written request and during normal business
hours at the offices designated by the Master Servicer or such Servicer.
Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Master Servicer or
any Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of
information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Master Servicer
or such Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of
such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in
this Section 3.15 shall require the Master Servicer or any Servicer to
collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does
not generate in its usual course of business.
SECTION 3.16. Annual Statement as to Compliance.

American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to
the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor, to the effect
that with respect to each Servicer (other than WMMSC and Xxxxx Fargo), such
firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of

Mortgage Loans or similar mortgage loans, and that, on the basis of such
examination, conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Guide for HUD Approved
Title II Approved Mortgagees and Loan Correspondent Programs, nothing has
come to their attention which would indicate that such servicing has not been
conducted in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, except for (a)
such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (b) such
other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. In addition each
Servicer shall disclose to such firm all significant deficiencies relating to
such Servicer's compliance with the minimum servicing standards set forth in
this Agreement. In rendering such statement, such firm may rely, as to
matters relating to direct servicing of mortgage loans by Subservicers, upon
comparable statements for examinations conducted substantially in compliance
with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit
Guide for HUD Approved Title II Approved Mortgagees and Loan Correspondent
Programs (rendered within one year of such statement) of independent public
accountants with respect to the related Subservicer.
Not later than the earlier of (a) March 15 of each calendar year
(other than the calendar year during which the Closing Date occurs) or (b)
with respect to any calendar year during which the Depositor's annual report
on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations of the Commission, 15 calendar days before each
date on which the Depositor's annual report on Form 10-K is required to be

American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, WMMSC has complied with
certain minimum residential mortgage loan servicing standards in its role as
master servicer with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage loans
(including the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans) during the most recently
completed fiscal year. In rendering its report such firm may rely, (a) as to
matters relating to the Certificates, upon a statistical sampling of series
of mortgage-backed certificates which may include the Certificates and (b) as
to matters relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage loans by
subservicers, upon comparable reports of firms of independent certified
public accountants rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in
accordance with the same standards (rendered within one year of such report)
with respect to those subservicers. In addition, WMMSC shall disclose to
such firm all significant deficiencies relating to WMMSC's compliance with
the minimum residential mortgage loan servicing standards referred to in the

Not later than the earlier of (a) March 15 of each calendar year
(other than the calendar year during which the Closing Date occurs) or (b)
with respect to any calendar year during which the Depositor's annual report
on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and

the Master Servicer, to the effect that such firm has examined certain

Fargo is servicing, which may include the related Mortgage Loans or similar
mortgage loans, and that, on the basis of such examination, conducted
substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Guide for HUD Approved Title II Approved
Mortgagees and Loan Correspondent Programs, nothing has come to their
attention which would indicate that such servicing has not been conducted in
compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, except for (a) such exceptions
as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (b) such other exceptions as
shall be set forth in such statement. In addition, Xxxxx Fargo shall
disclose to such firm all significant deficiencies relating to Xxxxx Fargo's
compliance with the minimum servicing standards set forth in this Agreement.

Copies of such statements shall be provided by the Trust
Administrator to any Certificateholder upon request at the Master Servicer's
or the related Servicer's expense, provided such statement is delivered by

SECTION 3.18. Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions
Insurance.
Each Servicer shall maintain with responsible companies, 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 related Mortgage Loans ("Servicer
Employees"). Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy
shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect
and insure the related Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft,
embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such Servicer
Employees. Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy also
shall protect and insure each Servicer against losses in connection with the
release or satisfaction of a related Mortgage Loan without having obtained
payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this
Section 3.18 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance
Policy shall diminish or relieve a 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
acceptable to FNMA unless the related Servicer has obtained a waiver of such
requirement. Upon the request of the Trust Administrator, the related
Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trust Administrator a certificate
of insurance of the insurer and the surety including a statement from the
surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond and insurance policy shall in
no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days' prior written
notice to the Trust Administrator.

generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicer.
SECTION 3.19. Special Serviced Mortgage Loans.
If directed by the Special Servicer and solely at the Special

shall transfer the servicing of any Mortgage Loan serviced by the
Transferring Servicer 90 days or more delinquent (determined as of the close
of business of the last day of the month preceding the related Data
Remittance Date) to the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall
thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Transferring
Servicer hereunder arising thereafter and the Transferring Servicer shall
have no further rights or obligations hereunder with respect to such Mortgage
Loan (except that the Special Servicer shall not be (i) liable for losses of
the Transferring Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof or for any acts or
omissions of the Transferring Servicer hereunder prior to the servicing
transfer date, (ii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of
Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not limited to, repurchases or
substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 hereof or
(iii) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of a
Transferring Servicer hereunder). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
the Special Servicer shall service all Special Serviced Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the servicing standards applicable to SPS as if SPS were the
Transferring Servicer; provided, however, that the obligations of SPS set
forth in Section 8.01(h), Section 8.01(i) and Article XIII of this Agreement
shall not be applicable to the Special Servicer. Upon the transfer of the
servicing of any such Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer, the Special
Servicer shall be entitled to the related Servicing Fee and other
compensation accruing after the servicing transfer date with respect to such
Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.14.
In connection with the transfer of the servicing of any Mortgage
Loan to the Special Servicer, the Transferring Servicer shall, at the Special
Servicer's expense, deliver to the Special Servicer all documents and records
relating to such Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected or
held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and
efficient transfer of the servicing to the Special Servicer. On the
servicing transfer date, the Special Servicer shall reimburse the
Transferring Servicer for all unreimbursed Advances, Servicing Advances and
Servicing Fees, as applicable, relating to the Mortgage Loans for which the
servicing is being transferred. The Special Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed pursuant to Section 3.08 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement
for all such Advances, Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees, as applicable,
paid by the Transferring Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.19. In
addition, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of such
transfer and the effective date of such transfer, and amend the Mortgage Loan
Schedule to reflect that such Mortgage Loans are Special Serviced Mortgage
Loans.
SECTION 3.20. Indemnification of Servicers and Master Servicer.
Each Servicer, other than WMMSC, agrees to indemnify and hold the
Master Servicer harmless from and against any and all losses, claims,
expenses, costs or liabilities (including attorneys fees and court costs)
incurred by the Master Servicer as a result of or in connection with the
failure by such Servicer to perform the obligations or responsibilities
imposed upon or undertaken by such Servicer under this Agreement.
The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold each Servicer,
other than WMMSC, harmless from and against any and all losses, claims,
expenses, costs or liabilities (including attorneys fees and court costs)
incurred by such Servicer as a result of or in connection with the failure by
the Master Servicer to perform the obligations or responsibilities imposed
upon or undertaken by the Master Servicer under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.21. Notification of Adjustments.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer shall
adjust the Mortgage Rate on the related Adjustment Date in compliance with
the requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage
Note. The related Servicer shall execute and deliver any and all necessary
notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage
Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Rate adjustments. Upon the
discovery by the related Servicer or the receipt of notice from the Trust
Administrator that such Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Rate in
accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note, such Servicer shall
immediately deposit in the Certificate Account from its own funds the amount
of any interest loss or deferral caused the Trust Administrator thereby.
SECTION 3.22. Designated Mortgage Loans.
(a) For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall
oversee and enforce the obligation of each Designated Servicer to service and
administer the related Designated Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms
of the related Designated Servicing Agreement and shall have full power and
authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable
in connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing
its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner
consistent with this Agreement and with customary and usual standards of
practice of prudent mortgage loan master servicers. Furthermore, the Master
Servicer shall oversee and consult with each Designated Servicer as necessary
from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder,
and shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other
data provided to the Master Servicer by each Designated Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall terminate the rights and obligations of
any Designated Servicer under the related Designated Servicing Agreement,
upon the failure of such Designated Servicer to perform any of its
obligations under such Designated Servicing Agreement, which failure results
in an event of default as provided in Section 8.01 of the National City
Servicing Agreement, with respect to National City and as provided in
Section 14.01 of the Nexstar Servicing Agreement, with respect to Nexstar.
In the event a Designated Servicer is terminated pursuant to the preceding
sentence, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trust
Administrator and shall either (a) select and engage a successor servicer of
the related Mortgage Loans or (b) act as successor servicer of the related
Mortgage Loans. In either case, the Designated Mortgage Loans related to
such Designated Servicing Agreement shall be serviced by the successor to
such Designated Servicer pursuant to the servicing provisions of this
Agreement, and such Designated Mortgage Loans shall be deemed as
"Non-Designated Mortgage Loans" under this Agreement; provided, however, it
is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a
period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing
functions can be fully transferred to such successor Designated Servicer.
Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of
claims, termination of Designated Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of
other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an
extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business
judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The
Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense,
provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or
defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall
have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing
such action.
To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer
related to any termination of a Designated Servicer, appointment of a
successor Designated Servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by
the Master Servicer with respect to any Designated Servicing Agreement
(including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due
diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential
termination of a Designated Servicer as a result of an event of default by
such Designated Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the
complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all
servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such
servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer to correct any
errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the
successor servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this
Agreement) are not fully reimbursed by the terminated Designated Servicer,
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and
expenses from the Trust.
(b) Each month, if a Designated Servicer fails to make a required Advance
by the date such Advance is required to be made under the related Designated
Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall on the Cash Remittance Date
deposit in the amount of any required Advance in the Certificate Account.
(c) Each month, the Master Servicer shall make Compensating Interest
Payments with respect to the Designated Mortgage Loans to the extent provided
in Section 3.03.

Certificates has been reduced to zero, the Trust Administrator shall
distribute the principal portion of Available Distribution Amount on the

and paid the Senior Certificates in each such Group in the same priority as
such Certificates would receive other distributions of principal pursuant to

extent of the principal portion of Available Distribution Amount of the
Overcollateralized Group(s) remaining after making interest and
principal distributions to the Senior Certificates of the
Overcollateralized Group(s) on such Distribution Date pursuant to
Section 4.01, until the Class Principal Balance of the Senior
Certificates of such Undercollateralized Group(s) equals the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan

Group in the same priority as such Certificates would receive other
distributions of principal pursuant to Section 4.01(I)(A).
(c) If more than one Overcollateralized Group exists on any Distribution
Date, reductions in the Available Distribution Amount of such Groups to make
the payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.07(b) on such
Distribution Date shall be made pro rata, based on the Overcollateralization
Amount of each Overcollateralized Group. If more than one
Undercollateralized Group exists on any Distribution Date, payments made to

distributions and allocation of losses on the Certificates on such
Distribution Date, and will equal the product of (1) a fraction expressed as
a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the Class Principal Balance
of the Class 9-A-5 Certificates after giving effect to distributions on such
Distribution Date and the denominator of which is equal to the aggregate
Class Principal Balance of the Class 9-A-4, Class 9-A-5, Class 9-A-6 and
Class 9-A-7 Certificates after giving effect to distributions on such
distribution date and (2) the excess, if any, of the Targeted

on each Distribution Date, after giving effect to withdrawals from the
Class 9-A-6 Interest Rate Cap Account on such Distribution Date and
distributions and allocation of losses on the Certificates on such
Distribution Date, and will equal the product of (1) a fraction expressed as
a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the Class Principal Balance
of the Class 9-A-6 Certificates after giving effect to distributions on such
Distribution Date and the denominator of which is equal to the aggregate
Class Principal Balance of the Class 9-A-4, Class 9-A-5, Class 9-A-6 and

distribution date and (2) the excess, if any, of the Targeted

ARTICLE V
ADVANCES BY THE MASTER SERVICER AND SERVICERS
SECTION 5.01. Advances by the Master Servicer and Servicers.
With respect to the Non-Designated Mortgage Loans, each Servicer
shall deposit in the related Collection Account as Advances an amount equal
to all Scheduled Payments (with interest at the Mortgage Rate less the
Servicing Fee Rate) which were due on such Non-Designated Mortgage Loans
serviced by it during the applicable Collection Period and which were
delinquent at the close of business on the immediately preceding
Determination Date. Each Servicer's obligation to make such Advances as to
any related Non-Designated Mortgage Loan will continue through the last
Scheduled Payment due prior to the payment in full of such Non-Designated
Mortgage Loan, or through the date that the related Mortgaged Property has,
in the judgment of the related Servicer, been completely liquidated. Each
Servicer shall not be required to advance shortfalls of principal or interest
resulting from the application of the Relief Act.
With respect to any Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, to the extent
required by Accepted Servicing Practices, the Master Servicer and each
Servicer shall be obligated to make Advances in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that such obligation with
respect to any related Non-Designated Mortgage Loan shall cease if the Master
Servicer or a Servicer determines, in its reasonable opinion, that Advances
with respect to such Non-Designated Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable
Advances. In the event that the Master Servicer or such Servicer determines
that any such Advances are Nonrecoverable Advances, the Master Servicer or
such Servicer shall provide the Trust Administrator with a certificate signed
by a Servicing Officer evidencing such determination.
With respect to any Non-Designated Mortgage Loan, if the amount
of Advances received from a Servicer, other than WMMSC, is less than the
amount required to be advanced by such Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be
obligated to make a payment in an amount equal to such deficiency, subject to
any determination by the Master Servicer that any portion of the amount
required to be advanced is a Nonrecoverable Advance.
With respect to any of the Non-Designated Mortgage Loans, if an
Advance is required to be made hereunder by a Servicer, such Servicer shall
on the Cash Remittance Date either (i) deposit in the Collection Account from
its own funds an amount equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an
appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that funds in such
account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as
permitted by this Section 5.01, used by such Servicer to make such Advance or
(iii) make Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii)
aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any such funds being held in a
Collection Account for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by
such Servicer from its own funds by deposit in such Collection Account on or
before any future Distribution Date in which such funds would be due.
With respect to any Designated Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer
shall make Advances as required by Section 3.22(b) of this Agreement.

THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 6.01. The Certificates.
The Certificates shall be in substantially the forms set forth in
Exhibits A, B, C, D, E, F and G hereto, with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by
this Agreement or as may in the reasonable judgment of the Trust
Administrator or the Depositor be necessary, appropriate or convenient to
comply, or facilitate compliance, with applicable laws, and may have such
letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or
endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of
any securities exchange on which any of the Certificates may be listed, or as
may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such
Certificates, as evidenced by their execution thereof.
Subject to Section 11.02 respecting the final distribution on the
Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trust Administrator shall make
distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record
Date either (x) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the
account of such holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate
facilities therefore, if (i) such Holder has so notified the Trust
Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date
and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) a Notional Amount Certificate, (B) 100%
of the Class Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates or (c)
Certificates of any Class with aggregate principal Denominations of not less
than $1,000,000 or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such
Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Certificate
Register.
The definitive Certificates shall be printed, typewritten,
lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods or
may be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any securities
exchange on which any of the Certificates may be listed, all as determined by
the officers executing such Certificates, as evidenced by their execution
thereof.
The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the
minimum denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one
Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be
in excess of the applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations
per Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile
signature on behalf of the Trust Administrator by a Responsible Officer.
Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who
were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on
behalf of the Trust Administrator shall bind the Trust Administrator,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so
authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or
did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate
shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any
purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication executed by the Trust Administrator by manual signature, and
such certificate of 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 Trust Administrator shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a
Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it
may prescribe, the Trust Administrator shall provide for the registration of
Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein
provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate,
the Trust Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name
of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in
like aggregate interest and of the same Class.
(b) At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for
other Certificates of authorized denominations and the same aggregate
interest in the Trust Fund and of the same Class, upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trust
Administrator set forth in Section 6.06. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Trust Administrator shall execute, authenticate
and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange
is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly
executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(c) No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
(d) All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange
shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trust Administrator in
accordance with the Trust Administrator's customary procedures.
(e) No transfer of any Private Certificate shall be made unless that
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
1933 Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state
securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such
registration or qualification. Except in connection with any transfer of a
Private Certificate by the Depositor to any affiliate, in the event that a
transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the 1933 Act and
such laws, in order to assure compliance with the 1933 Act and such laws, the
Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trust
Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially
the form set forth in Exhibit L (the "Transferor Certificate") and (i)
deliver a letter in substantially the form of either (A) Exhibit M-1 (the
"Investment Letter"), provided that all of the Private Certificates of a
Class shall be transferred to one investor or the Depositor otherwise
consents to such transfer, or (B) Exhibit M-2 (the "Rule 144A Letter") or
(ii) there shall be delivered to the Trust Administrator at the expense of
the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant
to an exemption from the 1933 Act. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder
of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any
such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage
Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the
condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any
such Certificate without registration thereof under the 1933 Act pursuant to
the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trust Administrator
shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information
referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor
such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other
matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to
meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private
Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, each Seller, the Master
Servicer, each Servicer and the Special Servicer against any liability that
may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with
such federal and state laws.
(f) No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate (except for the Residual
Certificates) shall be made unless the Trust Administrator shall have
received in accordance with Exhibit M-1 or Exhibit M-2, as applicable, either
(i) a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate,
acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trust
Administrator, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit
plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code, or a person using the assets of any such plan or arrangement, which
representation letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator or the Trust Fund, (ii) if the purchaser is an insurance
company and the Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying
Underwriting, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company
which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an "insurance
company general account" (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60")) and that the
purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections I and
III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the case of any such Certificate presented for
registration in the name of an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject
to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions
of any subsequent enactments), or a person using such plan's or arrangement's
assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trust Administrator to the
effect that the purchase or holding of such Certificate will not result in
prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the
Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Master Servicer or any other Servicer to any obligation in
addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of such parties or the Trust Fund. No transfer of a
Residual Certificate shall be made unless the Trust Administrator shall have
received, in accordance with Exhibit N, a representation letter from the
transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trust Administrator, to the effect that such transferee
is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a person using the assets of any such
plan or arrangement, which representation letter shall not be an expense of
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund. In the event the
representations referred to in this Section 6.02(f) are not furnished, such
representations shall be deemed to have been made to the trustee by the
transferee's acceptance of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate by any
beneficial owner who purchases an interest in such Certificate in book-entry
form. In the event that a representation is violated, or any attempt to
transfer an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to a plan or arrangement or person
using a plan's or arrangement's assets is attempted without the delivery to
the Trust Administrator of the Opinion of Counsel described above, the
attempted transfer or acquisition of such Certificate shall be void and of no
effect.
(g) Additional restrictions on transfers of the Class AR and Class AR-L
Certificates are set forth below:
(i) Each Person who has or who acquires any ownership interest in a
Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or
acquisition of such ownership interest to have agreed to be bound by
the following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Trust
Administrator or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver
payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate the terms
of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all
instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in
connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any
ownership interest in a Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate are
expressly subject to the following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any ownership interest in a Class AR
or Class AR-L Certificate shall be other than a Disqualified
Organization and shall promptly notify the Trust Administrator of
any change or impending change in its status as other than a
Disqualified Organization.
(B) In connection with any proposed transfer of any ownership interest in a
Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate to a U.S. Person, the Trust
Administrator shall require delivery to it, and shall not register
the transfer of a Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate until its
receipt of (1) an affidavit and agreement (a "Transferee Affidavit
and Agreement" attached hereto as Exhibit N) from the proposed
transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trust
Administrator, representing and warranting, among other things, that
it is not a non U.S. Person, that such transferee is other than a
Disqualified Organization, that it is not acquiring its ownership
interest in a Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate that is the subject
of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any
Person who is not other than a Disqualified Organization, that for
so long as it retains its ownership interest in a Class AR or
Class AR-L Certificate, it will endeavor to remain other than a
Disqualified Organization, and that it has reviewed the provisions
of this Section 6.02(g) and agrees to be bound by them, and (2) a
certificate, attached hereto as Exhibit O, from the Holder wishing
to transfer a Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trust Administrator, representing and
warranting, among other things, that no purpose of the proposed
transfer is to allow such Holder to impede the assessment or
collection of tax.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement by
a proposed transferee under clause (B) above, if the Trust
Administrator has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is
not other than a Disqualified Organization, no transfer of an
ownership interest in a Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate to such
proposed transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any ownership interest in a Class AR
or Class AR-L Certificate agrees, by holding or acquiring such
ownership interest, to require a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement
from the other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its
ownership interest and to provide a certificate to the Trust
Administrator in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O.
(ii) The Trust Administrator shall register the transfer of any Class AR or
Class AR-L Certificate only if it shall have received the Transferee
Affidavit and Agreement, a certificate of the Holder requesting such
transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O and all of such other
documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Trust
Administrator as a condition to such registration.
(iii) (A) If any Disqualified Organization shall become a Holder of a
Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate, then the last preceding Holder
that was other than a Disqualified Organization shall be restored,
to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such
transfer of such Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate. If any non
U.S. Person shall become a Holder of a Class AR or Class AR-L
Certificate, then the last preceding Holder that is a U.S. Person
shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and
obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
registration of the transfer to such non U.S. Person of such
Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate. If a transfer of a Class AR or
Class AR-L Certificate is disregarded pursuant to the provisions of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E 1 or Section 1.860G 3, then the
last preceding Holder that was other than a Disqualified
Organization shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to
all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date
of registration of such transfer of such Class AR or Class AR-L
Certificate. The Trust Administrator shall be under no liability to
any Person for any registration of transfer of a Class AR or
Class AR-L Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this
Section 6.02(g) or for making any payments due on such Certificate
to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to
such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement.
(B) If any purported transferee of a Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate
shall become a Holder of a Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate in
violation of the restrictions in this Section 6.02(g) and to the
extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder
of such Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate as described in clause
(iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the
Depositor shall have the right, without notice to the Holder or any
prior Holder of such Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate, to sell
such Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate to a purchaser selected by
the Depositor on such terms as the Depositor may choose. Such
purported transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver a Class AR
or Class AR-L Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the
Depositor. Such purchaser may be the Depositor itself or any
affiliate of the Depositor. The proceeds of such sale, net of the
commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Depositor
or its affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, shall be
remitted by the Depositor to such purported transferee. The terms
and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be
determined in the sole discretion of the Depositor, and the
Depositor shall not be liable to any Person having an ownership
interest or a purported ownership interest in a Class AR or

discretion.
(iv) The Master Servicer and each Servicer, on behalf of the Trust
Administrator, shall make available, upon written request from the

Person who is not other than a Disqualified Organization, including the
information regarding "excess inclusions" of such Residual Certificate
required to be provided to the Internal Revenue Service and certain
Persons as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.860D 1(b)(5), and
(B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate
investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or
organizations described in Section 1381 of the Code having as among its
record holders at any time any Person who is not other than a

cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its then current rating of the
Certificates; and
(B) a certificate of the Depositor stating that the Depositor has received
an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Depositor, to the effect that such modification, addition to or
elimination of such provisions will not cause the Trust Fund to
cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not create a risk that (i) the
Trust Fund may be subject to an entity level tax caused by the
transfer of a Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate to a Person which
is not other than a Disqualified Organization or (2) a
Certificateholder or another Person will be subject to a REMIC

ANY RESALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY
BE MADE ONLY IF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE PROVIDES A TRANSFER
AFFIDAVIT TO THE DEPOSITOR AND THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR THAT (1)
SUCH TRANSFEREE IS NOT (A) THE UNITED STATES, ANY STATE OR
POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, ANY FOREIGN GOVERNMENT, ANY
INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION, OR ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF
ANY OF THE FOREGOING, (B) ANY ORGANIZATION (OTHER THAN A
COOPERATIVE DESCRIBED IN SECTION 521 OF THE CODE) WHICH IS EXEMPT
FROM THE TAX IMPOSED BY CHAPTER 1 OF THE CODE UNLESS SUCH
ORGANIZATION IS SUBJECT TO THE TAX IMPOSED BY SECTION 511 OF THE
CODE, (C) ANY ORGANIZATION DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1381(a)(2)(C) OF
THE CODE (ANY SUCH PERSON DESCRIBED IN THE FOREGOING CLAUSES (A),
(B), OR (C) BEING HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS A "DISQUALIFIED
ORGANIZATION"), OR (D) AN AGENT OF A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION
AND (2) NO PURPOSE OF SUCH TRANSFER IS TO ENABLE THE TRANSFEROR
TO IMPEDE THE ASSESSMENT OR COLLECTION OF TAX. SUCH AFFIDAVIT
SHALL INCLUDE CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE FINANCIAL
CONDITION OF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
REGISTRATION IN THE CERTIFICATE REGISTER OF ANY TRANSFER, SALE OR
OTHER DISPOSITION OF THIS [CLASS AR][CLASS AR-L] CERTIFICATE TO A
DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION OR AN AGENT OF A DISQUALIFIED
ORGANIZATION, SUCH REGISTRATION SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE OF NO LEGAL
FORCE OR EFFECT WHATSOEVER AND SUCH PERSON SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO
BE A CERTIFICATEHOLDER FOR ANY PURPOSE HEREUNDER, INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, THE RECEIPT OF DISTRIBUTIONS ON THIS CERTIFICATE.
EACH HOLDER OF THE [CLASS AR][CLASS AR-L] CERTIFICATE BY
ACCEPTANCE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE CONSENTED
TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH.
(h) The Trust Administrator shall have no liability to the Trust Fund
arising from a transfer of any such Certificate in reliance upon a
certification, ruling or Opinion of Counsel described in this Section 6.02;
provided, however, that the Trust Administrator shall not register the
transfer of any Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate if it has actual knowledge
that the proposed transferee does not meet the qualifications of a permitted
Holder of a Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate as set forth in this
Section 6.02.
SECTION 6.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trust
Administrator, or the Trust Administrator receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b)
there is delivered to each Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Trust Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver,
in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and interest in the Trust Fund.
In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this
Section 6.03, the Trust Administrator may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses
of the Trust Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, 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, each Servicer, the Trust Administrator, and any agent of the Master
Servicer or any Servicer, the Trust Administrator may treat the person in
whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for
the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for
all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer or the
Servicers, the Trust Administrator, nor any agent of the Master Servicer or a
Servicer or the Trust Administrator shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
SECTION 6.05. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses.
(a) If three or more Certificateholders (i) request in writing from the
Trust Administrator a list of the names and addresses of Certificateholders,
(ii) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate with other
Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under
the Certificates and (iii) provide a copy of the communication which such
Certificateholders propose to transmit, then the Trust Administrator shall,
within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, afford such
Certificateholders access during normal business hours to a current list of
the Certificateholders. The expense of providing any such information
requested by a Certificateholder shall be borne by the Certificateholders
requesting such information and shall not be borne by the Trust Administrator
or the Trustee. Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a
Certificate, agrees that the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall not be
held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to
the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from
which such information was derived.
(b) The Master Servicer and each Servicer, so long as it is a servicer
hereunder, DLJMC and the Depositor shall have unlimited access to a list of
the names and addresses of the Certificateholders which list shall be
provided by the Trust Administrator promptly upon request.
SECTION 6.06. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Trust Administrator will maintain or cause to be maintained
at its expense an office or offices or agency or agencies in Minneapolis,
Minnesota where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Trust Administrator
in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be served. The Trust
Administrator initially designates its Corporate Trust Office as its office
for such purpose. The Trust Administrator will give prompt written notice to
the Certificateholders of any change in the location of any such office or
agency.
SECTION 6.07. Book Entry Certificates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Book-Entry Certificates, upon
original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten
Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to
DTC, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Depositor. The
Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate
Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC, as the initial
Clearing Agency, and no Beneficial Holder will receive a definitive
certificate representing such Beneficial Holder's interest in the
Certificates, except as provided in Section 6.09. Unless and until
definitive, fully registered Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") have
been issued to the Beneficial Holders pursuant to Section 6.09:
(a) the provisions of this Section 6.07 shall be in full force and effect
with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates;
(b) the Depositor and the Trust Administrator may deal with the Clearing
Agency for all purposes with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates
(including the making of distributions on such Certificates) as the sole
Holder of such Certificates;
(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 6.07 conflict with
any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 6.07
shall control; and
(d) the rights of the Beneficial Holders of the Book-Entry Certificates
shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the Participants and
shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such
Beneficial Holders and the Clearing Agency and/or the Participants. Pursuant
to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are
issued pursuant to Section 6.09, the initial Clearing Agency will make
book-entry transfers among the Participants and receive and transmit
distributions of principal and interest on the related Book-Entry
Certificates to such Participants.
For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or
permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Holders of
the Book-Entry Certificates evidencing a specified percentage of the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Certificates, such direction or
consent may be given by the Clearing Agency at the direction of Beneficial
Holders owning such Certificates evidencing the requisite percentage of
principal amount of such Certificates. The Clearing Agency may take
conflicting actions with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates to the extent
that such actions are taken on behalf of the Beneficial Holders.
SECTION 6.08. Notices to Clearing Agency.
Whenever notice or other communication to the Holders of
Book-Entry Certificates is required under this Agreement, unless and until
Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the related
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 6.09, the Trust Administrator shall
give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to
Holders of the Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency which shall
give such notices and communications to the related Participants in
accordance with its applicable rules, regulations and procedures.
SECTION 6.09. Definitive Certificates.
If (a) the Depositor advises the Trust Administrator in writing
that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge
its responsibilities under the Depository Agreement with respect to the
Certificates and the Trust Administrator or the Depositor is unable to locate
a qualified successor, (b) the Depositor, with the consent of the applicable
Participants, advises the Trust Administrator in writing that it elects to
terminate the book-entry system with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates
through the Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Holders of Book-Entry Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3%
of the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the Book-Entry Certificates
advise the Trust Administrator in writing that the continuation of a
book-entry system with respect to the such Certificates through the Clearing
Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Holders of such Certificates
with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates and the applicable Participants
consent, the Trust Administrator shall notify all Holders of such
Certificates of the occurrence of any such event and the availability of
Definitive Certificates. Upon surrender to the Trust Administrator of the
such Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration
instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Trust
Administrator shall authenticate and deliver the Definitive Certificates.
Neither the Depositor nor the Trust Administrator shall be liable for any
delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and
shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of
Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or
to be performed by the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and
performed by the Trust Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect
to such Definitive Certificates, and the Trust Administrator shall recognize
the Holders of Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

Subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, the Depositor,
each Seller, the Master Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer, each Servicer and the

its respective duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Depositor, any Seller, the Master
Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer, any Servicer or the Special Servicer may be
merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Depositor, any Seller, the Master Servicer, the

the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that (i) except in connection with a

that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such
assignment will not be qualified or reduced as a result of such successor or
surviving Person to WMMSC not having a net worth of at least $15,000,000.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 7.02 or in
Section 7.04 hereof to the contrary, the Master Servicer or a Servicer may
assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations under this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Master Servicer or such Servicer gives
the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator notice of such

servicing pursuant to Section 7.04(c) hereof, that such purchaser or
transferee accepting such assignment and delegation shall be an institution
that is a FNMA and FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing, which has
a net worth of at least $15,000,000, and which is willing to service the

the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator an agreement accepting
such delegation and assignment, which contains an assumption by such Person
of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities
of the Master Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer or such Servicer, with like
effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; and provided
further, except in respect of any transfer of servicing pursuant to
Section 7.04(c) hereof, that each of the Rating Agencies acknowledge that its
rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment
will not be qualified or reduced as a result of such assignment and
delegation. In the case of any such assignment and delegation, the Master
Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer or such Servicer shall be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (except as provided above), except that the
Master Servicer, Back-Up Servicer or the related Servicer shall remain liable
for all liabilities and obligations incurred by it as the Master Servicer,
Back-Up Servicer or Servicer hereunder prior to the satisfaction of the
conditions to such assignment and delegation set forth in the preceding

Master Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer, the
Servicers, the Special Servicer and Others.

any Servicer, any Seller, the Special Servicer, nor any of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Back-Up Servicer, any Servicer, any Seller or the Special Servicer shall be
under any liability to 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 Master Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer,
any Servicer, any Seller or the Special Servicer against any breach of
representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer, any Servicer, any Seller or the
Special Servicer or any such director, officer, employee or agent from any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons 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
Master Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer, any Servicer, any Seller and the
Special Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer, any Servicer, any

Servicer, any Servicer, any Seller and the Special Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Back-Up
Servicer, any Servicer, any Seller or the Special Servicer shall be

the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer, any Servicer, any Seller or the Special
Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal action that is not incidental to their respective duties hereunder and
which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided,
however, that the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer, any
Servicer, any Seller or the Special Servicer may in its discretion undertake
any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this
Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests of
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Certificateholders hereunder;
provided, however, that in the event the related Servicer (other than WMMSC)
agrees, at the request of any Seller (other than WMMSC), to act on behalf of
such Seller in any dispute or litigation that is not incidental to such
Servicer's duties hereunder and that relates to the origination of a Mortgage
Loan, such Seller shall pay all expenses associated with the management and
defense of such claim. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, in no event shall the Master Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer,
any Servicer or the Special Servicer be liable for special, indirect or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not
limited to lost profits), even if the Master Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer,
the related Servicer or the Special Servicer has been advised of the
likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
SECTION 7.04. Master Servicer and Servicer Not to Resign; Transfer of

obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon appointment of a
successor master servicer or successor servicer and receipt by the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator of a letter from each Rating Agency that such a
resignation and appointment will not result in a downgrading of the rating of
any of the Certificates related to the applicable Mortgage Loans, or (ii)
upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law. Any such determination under clause (ii) permitting the
resignation of the Master Servicer or a Servicer shall be evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator. No such resignation shall become effective until the
successor master servicer or successor servicer shall have assumed the Master
Servicer or such Servicer's, as applicable, responsibilities, duties,
liabilities and obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 8.02 hereof.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at DLJMC's request, so long as it is the
owner of the related servicing rights, the Master Servicer, SPS or GreenPoint
shall resign, upon the selection and appointment of a successor master
servicer or servicer, as applicable; provided that DLJMC delivers to the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator the letter required in Section 7.04(a)(i)
above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Master Servicer
is appointed as the successor servicer to SPS or GreenPoint, the requirements
of Section 7.04(a)(i) shall be waived. If the Master Servicer resigns
pursuant to this Section 7.04(b), DLJMC shall pay the Master Servicer an
amount equal to the product of (a) the Stated Principal Balance of all of the
Mortgage Loans other than the WMMSC Serviced Loans then outstanding and (b)
0.02%. In connection with any resignation of SPS pursuant to this Section
7.04(b), DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc. may designate one or more Servicers
(which may be SPS's successor servicer) to act as the Terminating Entity
under this Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, servicing
with respect to all or a portion of the Eligible Servicing Transfer Loans may
be transferred to WMMSC under this Agreement upon written notice being
delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, DLJMC and the
Trust Administrator. Any transfer of servicing with respect to such Eligible
Servicing Transfer Loans shall not require the letter set forth in
Section 7.04(a)(i) above or any consent from the Certificateholders or any
other party hereto. Upon the transfer of servicing to WMMSC, such Mortgage
Loans shall be serviced in accordance with the procedures WMMSC employs in
servicing Mortgage Loans serviced by it under this Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trust Administrator shall for any
reason no longer be Trust Administrator hereunder, at DLJMC's request, the
Master Servicer shall resign, upon the selection and appointment of a
successor master servicer; provided that DLJMC delivers to the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator the letter required in Section 7.04(a)(i) above.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at DLJMC's request, the Special Servicer
shall resign, upon the selection and appointment of a successor special
servicer by DLJMC; provided that DLJMC delivers to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator the letter required in Section 7.04(a)(i) above.
SECTION 7.05. Master Servicer, Seller and Servicers May Own Certificates.
Each of the Master Servicer, each Seller, the Special Servicer
and each Servicer in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it
were not the Master Servicer, a Seller, the Special Servicer or a Servicer.
SECTION 7.06. Termination of Duties of the Back-Up Servicer.
The rights and obligations of the Back-Up Servicer under this
Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the appointment of the
Back-Up Servicer (or its affiliate) as successor Servicer to SPS and (ii) the
termination of Xxxxx Fargo as Back-Up Servicer by the Seller. The Seller may
remove Xxxxx Fargo as Back-Up Servicer at any time.

rating the Certificates or (b) one or more classes of the Certificates are
downgraded or placed on negative watch due in whole or in part to the
performance or master servicing of the Master Servicer.
If an Event of Default due to the actions or inaction of the
Master Servicer or a Servicer described in clauses (a) through (f) of this
Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such
Event of Default shall not have been remedied, (i) the Trust Administrator
shall at the direction of the Trustee or the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the
Certificates, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer or such Servicer
(with a copy to the Rating Agencies), terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer or such Servicer under this Agreement
(other than rights to reimbursement for Advances and Servicing Advances
previously made, as provided in Section 3.08) and (ii) the Master Servicer
may, if such Event of Default is due to the actions or inactions of a
Servicer, other than WMMSC, by notice in writing to such Servicer (with a
copy to the Rating Agencies), terminate all of the rights and obligations of
such Servicer under this Agreement (other than rights to reimbursement for
Advances and Servicing Advances previously made, as provided in Section 3.08).
If an Event of Default described in clause (g) shall occur, (i)
if the Master Servicer has failed to make any Advance, the Trustee, (ii) if
WMMSC has failed to make any Advance, the Trust Administrator, and (iii) if
any Servicer, other than WMMSC, has failed to make any Advance, the Master
Servicer, shall prior to the next Distribution Date, immediately make such
Advance and terminate the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer or
applicable Servicer, as applicable, hereunder and succeed to the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as applicable, hereunder
pursuant to Section 8.02, including the obligation to make Advances on such
succeeding Distribution Date pursuant to the terms hereof. No Event of
Default with respect to the Master Servicer or a Servicer shall affect the
rights or duties of any other Servicer or constitute an Event of Default as
to any other Servicer.
If an Event of Default set forth in clause (h)(ii) above shall
occur, the Trust Administrator shall furnish the Certificateholders the
Master Servicer's written report as to SPS' servicing performance in the next
monthly statement to Certificateholders distributed pursuant to
Section 4.05. If an Event of Default set forth in clause (h) or (i) shall
occur, the Trust Administrator or the Depositor (after consulting with the
Trust Administrator), may, or at the direction of Certificateholders
evidencing not less than 51% or more of the Voting Rights evidenced by the
Certificates, the Trust Administrator shall, by written notice to the
Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and
obligations of SPS as Servicer under this Agreement. With respect to an
Event of Default set forth in clauses (h) or (i) above and upon any
termination of SPS as Servicer pursuant to this paragraph, DLJMC, in
accordance with Section 7.04(b), shall appoint a successor servicer,
irrespective of DLJMC's ownership of the related servicing rights. Any such
servicing transfer as a result of an Event of Default set forth in clause (h)
or (i) shall be accomplished in 60 days from the date the Trust Administrator
delivers the Master Servicer's report to Certificateholders or from the date
SPS received such notice of termination.
If an Event of Default described in clause (h) or (i)(3) occurs,
DLJMC shall reimburse SPS for all unreimbursed Advances and Servicing
Advances made by SPS on the date the servicing is transferred to the
successor servicer hereunder and DLJMC shall be entitled to reimbursement by
the successor servicer of any such amounts as and to the extent such amounts
are received by the successor servicer under the terms of this Agreement.
If an Event of Default described in clause (i) or (j) occurs, the
Master Servicer or the Back-Up Servicer solely with respect to clause (i)
shall at the direction of DLJMC, by notice in writing to such Servicer, other
than WMMSC terminate all of the rights and obligations of such Servicer,
other than WMMSC, under this Agreement (other than rights to reimbursement
for Advances and Servicing Advances previously made, as provided in
Section 3.08) and shall appoint as successor Servicer the entity selected by
DLJMC in accordance with Section 8.02; provided DLJMC shall first furnish to
the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Servicer a letter from each Rating Agency
that the appointment of such successor will not result in a downgrading of
the rating of any of the Certificates.
If an Event of Default described in clause (k) occurs, the
Trustee shall at the direction of DLJMC, by notice in writing to the Master
Servicer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement (other than rights to reimbursement for Advances
previously made, as provided in Section 3.08) and shall appoint as successor
Master Servicer the entity selected by DLJMC in accordance with Section 8.02;
provided DLJMC shall first furnish to the Trustee a letter from each Rating
Agency that the appointment of such successor will not result in a
downgrading of the rating of any of the Certificates.
No Event of Default with respect to the Servicer shall affect the
rights or duties of the Master Servicer or constitute an Event of Default as
to the Master Servicer.
SECTION 8.02. Master Servicer or Trust Administrator to Act; Appointment
of Successor.
On and after the time the Master Servicer or a Servicer receives
a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof or resigns pursuant
to Section 7.04 hereof, subject to the provisions of Section 3.04 hereof, the
Trustee (in the case of the Master Servicer), the Trust Administrator (in the
case of WMMSC), the Back-Up Servicer (in the case of SPS), or the Master
Servicer (in the case of a Servicer other than WMMSC), shall be the successor
in all respects to the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as applicable, in
its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and with respect to the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the
Master Servicer or such Servicer, as applicable, by the terms and provisions
hereof; provided that the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master
Servicer or the Back-Up Servicer, as applicable, shall not be deemed to have
made any representation or warranty as to any Mortgage Loan made by the
Master Servicer or any Servicer, as applicable, and shall not effect any
repurchases or substitutions of any Mortgage Loan; provided further, that it
is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a
full period of transition (not to exceed ninety (90) days) before the actual
servicing functions of any Servicer can be fully transferred to Xxxxx Fargo
as successor Servicer; provided further, that during such period of
transition Xxxxx Fargo, as successor Servicer, shall continue to make all
required Compensating Interest Payments and Advances. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Back-Up Servicer or the
Master Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to all funds relating to
the Mortgage Loans that the Master Servicer or related Servicer (the
"Replaced Servicer") would have been entitled to charge to the related
Collection Account if the Replaced Servicer had continued to act hereunder
(except that the Replaced Servicer shall retain the right to be reimbursed
for advances (including, without limitation, Advances and Servicing Advances)
theretofore made by the Replaced Servicer with respect to which it would be
entitled to be reimbursed as provided in Section 3.08 if it had not been so
terminated or resigned). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator, the Back-Up Servicer or the Master Servicer, as
applicable, has become the successor to a Replaced Servicer, in accordance
with this Section 8.02, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Back-Up
Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, may, if it shall be unwilling
to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court
of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing
institution, the appointment of which does not adversely affect the then
current rating of the Certificates, as the successor to the Master Servicer,
the Back-Up Servicer or a Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities
of the Master Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer or such Servicer, as applicable,
provided that such successor to the Master Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer or
the Servicer, as applicable, shall not be deemed to have made any
representation or warranty as to any Mortgage Loan made by the Master
Servicer or the related Servicer, as applicable. Pending appointment of a
successor to the Master Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer or a Servicer, as
applicable, hereunder, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Master
Servicer, as applicable, unless such party is prohibited by law from so
acting, shall act in such capacity as provided herein. In connection with
such appointment and assumption, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the
Master Servicer or the Back-Up Servicer, as applicable, may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on
Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that
no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Replaced
Servicer, hereunder. The Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Master
Servicer, as applicable, and such successor shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession. None of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master
Servicer nor any other successor servicer shall be deemed to be in default
hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any
distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by the failure of a
Replaced Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or
records to it.
A Replaced Servicer that has been terminated shall, at the
request of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer or the
Back-Up Servicer, as applicable, but at the expense of such Replaced Servicer
deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to the
applicable Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected and held by
it and otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the orderly
and efficient transfer and assignment of such servicing, but only to the
extent of the Mortgage Loans serviced thereunder, to the assuming party.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the termination of
a Servicer under this Agreement shall not extend to any Sub-Servicer meeting
the requirements of Section 3.02(a) and otherwise servicing the related
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the servicing provisions of this Agreement.
The Master Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer and each Servicer shall
cooperate with the Trustee and the Trust Administrator and any successor
servicer in effecting the termination of a Replaced Servicer's
responsibilities and rights hereunder, including without limitation, the
transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which
shall at the time be credited by such Servicer to the applicable Collection
Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
None of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator nor any other
successor servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of
any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or
any portion thereof caused by (a) the failure of the Master Servicer, the
Back-Up Servicer or any Servicer to (i) deliver, or any delay in delivering,
cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) cooperate as required by this
Agreement, or (b) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over the Master Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer or the related
Servicer.
Any successor to a Servicer as servicer shall during the term of
its service as servicer maintain in force the policy or policies that such
Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to Section 3.09(b) hereof.
If a Servicer that has been terminated fails to pay all costs
related to the transition of servicing to the successor Servicer, the
successor Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of those amounts from
the Trust.
In connection with the termination or resignation of a Servicer
hereunder, either (i) the successor Servicer, including the Trust
Administrator or Master Servicer if either of such parties is acting as
successor Servicer or Back-Up Servicer, shall represent and warrant that it
or an affiliate is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to
comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in
connection with the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans that are
registered with MERS, or (ii) the Replaced Servicer, at its sole expense,
shall cooperate with the successor Servicer either (x) in causing MERS to
execute and deliver an Assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer
the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other
notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to
effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on
the MERS® System to the successor Servicer or (y) in causing MERS to
designate on the MERS® System the successor Servicer as the servicer of such
Mortgage Loan (at the cost and expense of the successor Servicer to the
extent such costs relate to the qualification of such successor Servicer as a
member of MERS, otherwise at the cost and expense of the Replaced Servicer).
The Replaced Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment in
the appropriate recording office. The successor Servicer shall cause such
assignment to be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon receipt of the
original with evidence of recording thereon or a copy certified by the public
recording office in which such assignment was recorded.
SECTION 8.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the Master
Servicer or any Servicer, the Trust Administrator shall give prompt written
notice thereof to the Sellers, and the Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Rating Agencies,
or, as applicable, the Master Servicer shall give prompt written notice
thereof to the Trust Administrator.
(b) Within two Business Days after the occurrence of any Event of Default,
the Trust Administrator shall transmit by mail to the Sellers and all
Certificateholders, and the Rating Agencies notice of each such Event of
Default hereunder known to the Trust Administrator, unless such Event of
Default shall have been cured or waived.
SECTION 8.04. Waiver of Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights of
Certificates affected by a default or Event of Default hereunder may waive
any default or Event of Default; provided, however, that (a) a default or
Event of Default under clause (g) of Section 8.01 may be waived, only by all
of the Holders of Certificates affected by such default or Event of Default
and (b) no waiver pursuant to this Section 8.04 shall affect the Holders of
Certificates in the manner set forth in Section 12.01(b)(i), (ii) or (iii).
Upon any such waiver of a default or Event of Default by the Holders
representing the requisite percentage of Voting Rights of Certificates
affected by such default or Event of Default, such default or Event of
Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been cured and
remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
ARTICLE IX
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 9.01. Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and
after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default that may have occurred,
undertakes with respect to the Trust Fund to perform such duties and only
such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case an
Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
actual knowledge has occurred and remains uncured, the Trustee shall exercise
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the
same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own
affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee set forth in this Agreement
shall not be construed as a duty.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments
furnished to the Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall examine them to determine
whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. The Trustee
shall have no duty to recompute, recalculate or verify the accuracy of any
resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other
instrument so furnished to the Trustee. If any such instrument is found not
to conform in any material respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders of such instrument in the event
that the Trustee, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily
corrected instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act or its own misconduct, its negligent failure to perform its
obligations in compliance with this Agreement, or any liability which would
be imposed by reason of its willful misfeasance or bad faith; provided,
however, that:
(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge, and after the curing or
of all such Events of Default that 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 personally liable
except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically
set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Agreement against the Trustee and the Trustee may conclusively
rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions
expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee
and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement which it reasonably
believed in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the
proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder;
(b) the Trustee 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 the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining or investigating
the pertinent facts;
(c) the Trustee 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
this Agreement at the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing
greater than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates
relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Trustee, under this Agreement;
(d) no provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability
is not reasonably assured to it; and
(e) the Trustee shall have no responsibility for any act or omission of the
Trust Administrator or LaSalle, it being understood and agreed that the
Trustee, Trust Administrator and LaSalle are independent contractors and not
agents, partners or joint venturers.
The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of
Default or event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would become
an Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
received written notice thereof from a Servicer, the Depositor or a
Certificateholder, or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual notice
thereof, and in the absence of such notice no provision hereof requiring the
taking of any action or the assumption of any duties or responsibility by the
Trustee following the occurrence of any Event of Default or event which, with
notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall be
effective as to the Trustee.
The Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any
complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document it may receive or which
may be alleged to have been delivered to or served upon it by the parties as
a consequence of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall use its best efforts to remit to the Master
Servicer or the related Servicer upon receipt of any such complaint, claim,
demand, notice or other document (i) which is delivered to the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee, (ii) of which a Responsible Officer has actual
knowledge, and (iii) which contains information sufficient to permit the
Trustee to make a determination that the real property to which such document
relates is a Mortgaged Property.
SECTION 9.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
(a) 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, Servicing Officers 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, financial advisors or accountants
and any advice of such Persons or 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 advice or 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 of which
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge (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 person would exercise or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person'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 waiver of all Events of Default that may have occurred, the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or
matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or
other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by
Holders of Certificates evidencing greater than 50% of the Voting
Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates; provided, however, that
if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs,
expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of
such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably
assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of
this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against
such expense or liability as a condition to taking any such action; the
reasonable expense of every such investigation shall be paid (A) by the
Master Servicer or by the applicable Servicer in the event that such
investigation relates to an Event of Default by the Master Servicer or
by such Servicer, respectively, if an Event of Default by the Master
Servicer or by such Servicer shall have occurred and is continuing, and
(B) otherwise by the Certificateholders requesting the investigation;
(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 and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct
or negligence on the part of any such agent or attorney appointed with
due care;
(vii) the Trustee shall not be required to expend its own funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is
not assured to it;
(viii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment of
funds pursuant to this Agreement; and
(ix) the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in
this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall
not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct
in the performance of such act.
(b) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the
Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by it without the
possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial
or other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all
the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of
the Depositor or the Master Servicer or a Servicer, as the case may be, and
the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee
makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement,
the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document or of MERS or
the MERS® System. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Depositor, any Seller, the Master Servicer or any
Servicers of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer or any
Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from
the Certificate Account by the Depositor, the Sellers or the Master Servicer
or the Servicers. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the legality or
validity of this Agreement or the validity, priority, perfection or
sufficiency of the security for the Certificates issued or intended to be
issued hereunder. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any
financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to
otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien
granted to it hereunder or to record this Agreement.
SECTION 9.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become
the owner or pledgee of Certificates and may transact business with the other
parties hereto and with their Affiliates, with the same rights as it would
have if it were not the Trustee.
SECTION 9.05. Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
The Trustee shall be compensated by the Trust Administrator as
separately agreed. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Trustee shall be indemnified by DLJMC and held harmless (up to a
maximum of $150,000) against any loss, liability or expense (including
reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) (i) incurred in connection with any
claim or legal action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b) the Certificates,
or (c) the performance of any of the Trustee's duties hereunder, other than
any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misconduct, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee's duties
hereunder or incurred by reason of any action of the Trustee taken at the
direction of the Certificateholders and (ii) resulting from any error in any
tax or information return prepared by the Master Servicer or a Servicer.
Such indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the
resignation or removal of the Trustee hereunder. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Depositor covenants and agrees, 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 negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct, to pay or 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 with
respect to: (A) the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance
of the Certificates, (B) the reasonable compensation, expenses and
disbursements of any accountant, engineer or appraiser that is not regularly
employed by the Trustee, to the extent that the Trustee must engage such
persons to perform acts or services hereunder and (C) printing and engraving
expenses in connection with preparing any Definitive Certificates. 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 hereunder or for any other
expenses. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no
event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss
or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits),
even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage
and regardless of the form of action.
SECTION 9.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or
association organized and doing business under the laws of any state or the
United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust powers, having ratings on its long term debt obligations at the time of
such appointment in at least the third highest rating category by both
Xxxxx'x and S&P or such lower ratings as will not cause Xxxxx'x or S&P to
lower their then current ratings of the Class A Certificates, having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such
corporation or association publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 9.06 the combined
capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be
its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.06, the Trustee
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
Section 9.07 hereof.
SECTION 9.07. Resignation and Removal of Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the
trusts hereby created by (a) giving written notice of resignation to the
Depositor, DLJMC, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer and the Servicers and by mailing notice of resignation by first
class mail, postage prepaid, to the Certificateholders at their addresses
appearing on the Certificate Register, and to the Rating Agencies, not less
than 60 days before the date specified in such notice when, subject to
Section 9.08, such resignation is to take effect, and (b) acceptance by a
successor trustee in accordance with Section 9.08 meeting the qualifications
set forth in Section 9.06.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 9.06 hereof and shall fail to
resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged 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 or if the Trustee breaches any of its obligations or
representations hereunder, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee and
appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee and one copy to the
successor trustee. The Trustee may also be removed at any time by the
Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 50% of the Voting Rights
evidenced by the Certificates. Notice of any removal of the Trustee and
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee shall be given to the
Rating Agencies by the Depositor.
If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation or receipt of a notice of removal, the resigning Trustee may, at
the Trust Fund's expense, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.07
shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee as provided in Section 9.08 hereof.
SECTION 9.08. Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 9.07
hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its
predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become
effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if
originally named as trustee herein. The Depositor, upon receipt of all
amounts due it hereunder, and the predecessor trustee shall execute and
deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be
required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 9.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee
shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06 hereof and its
acceptance shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the
Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided
in this Section 9.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of
such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as
shown in the Certificate Register. If the Depositor 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 Depositor.
SECTION 9.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated or any Person resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
Person succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of
the Trustee hereunder, provided that such Person shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 9.06 hereof without the execution or filing of any
paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 9.10. Appointment of Co Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction
in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note
may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting
jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to
appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or
co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate
trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or
Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the applicable
Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and,
subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.10, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may
consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have
joined in such appointment within fifteen days after the receipt by it of a
request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such
appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required
to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 9.06
and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or
separate trustee shall be required under Section 9.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions
and conditions:
(a) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon
the Trustee, except for any obligation of the Trustee under this Agreement to
advance funds on behalf of the Master Servicer or a Servicer, shall be
conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such
separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such
separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without
the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of
any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed by
the Trustee (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master
Servicer or a Servicer), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion
thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by
such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the
Trustee;
(b) no trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any
act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(c) the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly may at any time
accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall
be deemed to have been given to each of the 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 and a copy thereof given to the Master Servicer or the
Servicers and the Depositor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute
the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to
the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of
this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. The Trust Administrator shall
not be responsible for all action or inaction of any separate trustee or
co-trustee. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable
of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights,
remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the
extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor
trustee.
SECTION 9.11. Office of the Trustee.
The office of the Trustee for purposes of receipt of notices and
demands is the Corporate Trust Office.
ARTICLE X
CONCERNING THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR
SECTION 10.01. Duties of Trust Administrator.
The Trust Administrator, prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator shall have
actual knowledge and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default that
may have occurred, undertakes with respect to the Trust Fund to perform such
duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.
In case an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trust
Administrator shall have actual knowledge has occurred and remains uncured,
the Trust Administrator shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested
in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of such person's own affairs. Any permissive right of the
Trust Administrator set forth in this Agreement shall not be construed as a
duty.
The Trust Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to the Trust Administrator that 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. The Trust Administrator shall have no duty to recompute,
recalculate or verify the accuracy of any resolution, certificate, statement,
opinion, report, document, order or other instrument so furnished to the
Trust Administrator. If any such instrument is found not to conform in any
material respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trust
Administrator shall notify the Certificateholders of such instrument in the
event that the Trust Administrator, after so requesting, does not receive a
satisfactorily corrected instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trust Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own misconduct, its negligent failure to
perform its obligations in compliance with this Agreement, or any liability
which would be imposed by reason of its willful misfeasance or bad faith;
provided, however, that:
(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible
Officer of the Trust Administrator shall have actual knowledge, and after the
curing or of all such Events of Default that may have occurred, the duties
and obligations of the Trust Administrator shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Agreement, the Trust Administrator shall not be
personally liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations
as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trust Administrator
and the Trust Administrator may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trust Administrator and conforming
to the requirements of this Agreement which it reasonably believed in good
faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities
respecting any matters arising hereunder;
(b) the Trust Administrator shall not be personally liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers
of the Trust Administrator, unless the Trust Administrator was negligent in
ascertaining or investigating the pertinent facts;
(c) the Trust Administrator 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 this Agreement or at the direction of the Holders of
Certificates evidencing greater than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to
each Class of Certificates relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trust
Administrator, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trust
Administrator, under this Agreement; and
(d) no provision of this Agreement shall require the Trust Administrator to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in
the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability
is not reasonably assured to it.
The Trust Administrator shall have no duty (A) to see to any
recording, filing or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred
to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a
security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording, filing
or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof,
(B) to see to any insurance, or (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any
tax, assessment or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of
any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the
Trust Fund other than from funds available in the Certificate Account.
Except with respect to an Event of Default described in clause
(a) of Section 8.01, the Trust Administrator shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any Event of Default or event which, with notice or lapse of
time, or both, would become an Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer
of the Trust Administrator shall have received written notice thereof from
the Master Servicer or a Servicer, the Depositor, or a Certificateholder, or
a Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator has actual notice thereof,
and in the absence of such notice no provision hereof requiring the taking of
any action or the assumption of any duties or responsibility by the Trust
Administrator following the occurrence of any Event of Default or event
which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of
Default, shall be effective as to the Trust Administrator.
The Trust Administrator shall have no duty hereunder with respect
to any complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document it may receive or
which may be alleged to have been delivered to or served upon it by the
parties as a consequence of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder;
provided, however, that the Trust Administrator shall use its best efforts to
remit to the Master Servicer or the Servicer upon receipt of any such
complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document (i) which is delivered to
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trust Administrator, (ii) of which a
Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, and (iii) which contains
information sufficient to permit the Trust Administrator to make a
determination that the real property to which such document relates is a
Mortgaged Property.
SECTION 10.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trust Administrator.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.01:
(i) the Trust Administrator may request and rely upon and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors, Servicing Officers 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 Trust Administrator may consult with counsel, financial advisors or
accountants and any advice of such Persons or opinion of counsel shall
be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any
action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and
in accordance with such advice or opinion of counsel;
(iii) the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however,
relieve the Trust Administrator of the obligation, upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trust
Administrator shall have actual knowledge (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 person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs;
(iv) the Trust Administrator 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 waiver of all Events of Default that may have occurred, the
Trust Administrator shall not be bound to make any investigation into
the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval,
bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do
by Holders of Certificates evidencing greater than 50% of the Voting
Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates; provided, however, that
if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trust Administrator of
the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the
making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trust
Administrator, not reasonably assured to the Trust Administrator by the
security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trust
Administrator may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or
liability as a condition to taking any such action; the reasonable
expense of every such investigation shall be paid (A) by the Master
Servicer or by the applicable Servicer in the event that such
investigation relates to an Event of Default by the Master Servicer or
by such Servicer, respectively, if an Event of Default by the Master
Servicer or such Servicer shall have occurred and is continuing, and
(B) otherwise by the Certificateholders requesting the investigation;
(vi) the Trust Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents or attorneys and the Trust Administrator shall not be
responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such
agent or attorney appointed with due care;
(vii) the Trust Administrator shall not be required to expend its own funds
or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of
its duties hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing
that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
liability is not assured to it;
(viii) the Trust Administrator shall not be liable for any loss on any
investment of funds pursuant to this Agreement except as provided in
Section 3.05(e);
(ix) the right of the Trust Administrator to perform any discretionary act
enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the
Trust Administrator shall not be answerable for other than its
negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act; and
(x) The Trust Administrator shall not be required to give any bond or
surety in respect of the execution of the Trust Fund created hereby or
the powers granted hereunder.
(b) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the
Certificates, enforceable by the Trust Administrator, may be enforced by it
without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof
at the trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action
or proceeding instituted by the Trust Administrator shall be brought in its
name for the benefit of all the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the
provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 10.03. Trust Administrator Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage
Loans.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of
the Depositor or the Master Servicer or a Servicer, as the case may be, and
the Trust Administrator assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The
Trust Administrator makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement, the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or
related document. The Trust Administrator shall not be accountable for the
use or application by the Depositor, the Sellers, the Master Servicer or the
Servicers of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer or any
Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from
the Certificate Account by the Depositor, the Sellers or the Master Servicer
or the Servicers. The Trust Administrator shall not be responsible for the
legality or validity of this Agreement or the validity, priority, perfection
or sufficiency of the security for the Certificates issued or intended to be
issued hereunder. The Trust Administrator shall have no responsibility for
filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any
time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection for any security
interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to record this Agreement.
SECTION 10.04. Trust Administrator May Own Certificates.
The Trust Administrator in its individual or any other capacity
may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it
would have if it were not the Trust Administrator.
SECTION 10.05. Trust Administrator's Fees and Expenses.
As compensation for its services hereunder, the Trust
Administrator shall be entitled to the investment income or other benefit
derived from balances in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05(e)
(the "Trust Administrator Fee"). The Trust Administrator and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Trust Administrator shall be indemnified by
DLJMC (or if DLJMC shall fail to do so, by the Trust) and held harmless
against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees
and expenses) (i) incurred in connection with any claim or legal action
relating to (a) this Agreement, (b) the Certificates, (c) the Custodial
Agreement, or (d) the performance of any of the Trust Administrator's duties
hereunder or under the Custodial Agreement, other than any loss, liability or
expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in
the performance of any of the Trust Administrator's duties hereunder or
incurred by reason of any action of the Trust Administrator taken at the
direction of the Certificateholders and (ii) resulting from any error in any
tax or information return prepared by the Master Servicer or a Servicer;
provided however, that the sum of (x) such indemnity amounts payable by DLJMC
or the Trust to the Trust Administrator pursuant to this Section 10.05 and
(y) the indemnity amounts payable by DLJMC or the Trust to the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.14(c), shall not exceed $200,000 per year;
provided, further, that any amounts not payable by DLJMC or the Trust to the
Trust Administrator due to the preceding proviso shall be payable by DLJMC
(or if DLJMC fails to do so, by the Trust) in any succeeding year, subject to
the aggregate $200,000 per annum limitation imposed by the preceding
proviso. Such indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or
the resignation or removal of the Trust Administrator hereunder. Without
limiting the foregoing, DLJMC (or if DLJMC fails to do so, the Trust) shall,
except as otherwise agreed upon in writing by DLJMC and the Trust
Administrator, and except for any such expense, disbursement or advance as
may arise from the Trust Administrator's negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct, pay or reimburse the Trust Administrator (up to a maximum of
$150,000), for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred
or made by the Trust Administrator in accordance with any of the provisions
of this Agreement with respect to: (A) the reasonable compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its counsel not associated with the closing of
the issuance of the Certificates, (B) the reasonable compensation, expenses
and disbursements of any accountant, engineer or appraiser that is not
regularly employed by the Trust Administrator, to the extent that the Trust
Administrator must engage such persons to perform acts or services hereunder
and (C) printing and engraving expenses in connection with preparing any
Definitive Certificates. In addition, DLJMC (or if DLJMC fails to do so, the
Trust) shall pay or reimburse the Trust Administrator for recertification
fees required to be paid by the Trust Administrator pursuant to a Custodial
Agreement. In addition, DLJMC (or if DLJMC fails to do so, the Trust) shall
pay or reimburse the Trust Administrator for any payments required to be paid
by the Trust Administrator pursuant to Sections 7 and 24 of the U.S. Bank
Custodial Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trust
Administrator shall not be entitled to payment or reimbursement for any
routine ongoing expenses incurred by the Trust Administrator in the ordinary
course of its duties as Trust Administrator, Registrar, Tax Matters Person or
Paying Agent hereunder. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trust Administrator be liable for
special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trust Administrator
has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of
the form of action.
SECTION 10.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trust Administrator.
The Trust Administrator 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 any state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws
to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of
at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or
state authority and (c) with respect to every successor Trust Administrator
hereunder an institution the long-term unsecured debt obligations of which
are rated at least Baa3 or better by Xxxxx'x and BBB or better by S&P unless
the failure of the Trust Administrator's long-term unsecured debt obligations
to have such ratings would not result in the lowering of the ratings
originally assigned to any Class of Certificates. 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 10.06 the combined
capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be
its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. In case at any time the Trust Administrator shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.06,
the Trust Administrator shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in Section 10.07 hereof.
SECTION 10.07. Resignation and Removal of Trust Administrator.
The Trust Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged
from the trusts hereby created by (a) giving written notice of resignation to
the Depositor, the Sellers, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer and the Servicers and by mailing notice of resignation by first
class mail, postage prepaid, to the Certificateholders at their addresses
appearing on the Certificate Register, and to the Rating Agencies, not less
than 60 days before the date specified in such notice when, subject to
Section 10.08, such resignation is to take effect, and (b) acceptance by a
successor trust administrator in accordance with Section 10.08 meeting the
qualifications set forth in Section 10.06.
If at any time the Trust Administrator shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06 hereof and shall fail to
resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the
Trust Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a
bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trust Administrator or of its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or
control of the Trust Administrator or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation or if the Trust
Administrator breaches any of its obligations or representations hereunder,
then the Depositor may remove the Trust Administrator and appoint a successor
trust administrator by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the Trust Administrator and one copy to the
successor trust administrator. The Trust Administrator may also be removed
at any time by the Trustee or the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less
than 50% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates. Notice of any
removal of the Trust Administrator and acceptance of appointment by the
successor trust administrator shall be given to the Rating Agencies by the
Depositor.
If no successor trust administrator shall have been so appointed
and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice
of resignation or receipt of a notice of removal, the resigning Trust
Administrator may, at the Trust Fund's expense, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trust administrator.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Servicer shall for
any reason no longer be Master Servicer hereunder, at DLJMC's request, the
Trust Administrator shall resign, upon the selection and appointment of a
successor trust administrator meeting the qualifications set forth in
Section 10.06.
Any resignation or removal of the Trust Administrator and
appointment of a successor trust administrator pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Section 10.07 shall become effective upon acceptance of
appointment by the successor trust administrator as provided in Section 10.08
hereof.
SECTION 10.08. Successor Trust Administrator.
Any successor trust administrator appointed as provided in
Section 10.07 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor
and to its predecessor trust administrator an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trust administrator shall become effective and such successor
trust administrator, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of
its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as
Trust Administrator herein. The Depositor, upon receipt of all amounts due
it hereunder, and the predecessor trust administrator shall execute and
deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be
required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
trust administrator all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor trust administrator shall accept appointment as
provided in this Section 10.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor trust administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of
Section 10.06 hereof and its acceptance shall not adversely affect the then
current rating of the Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trust administrator
as provided in this Section 10.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the
succession of such trust administrator hereunder to all Holders of
Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the
Depositor fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor trust administrator, the successor trust
administrator shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Depositor.
SECTION 10.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trust Administrator.
Any Person into which the Trust Administrator may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated or any Person resulting from
any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trust Administrator
shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Trust
Administrator, shall be the successor of the Trust Administrator hereunder,
provided that such Person shall be eligible under the provisions of
Section 10.06 hereof without the execution or filing of any paper or further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
SECTION 10.10. Appointment of Co-Trust Administrator or Separate Trust
Administrator.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction
in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note
may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator
acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all
instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trust
Administrator to act as co-trust administrator or co-trust administrators
jointly with the Trust Administrator, or separate trust administrator or
separate trust administrators, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to
vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the
applicable Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part
thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.10, such
powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the
Trust Administrator may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master
Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen days after
the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trust Administrator alone shall
have the power to make such appointment. No co-trust administrator or
separate trust administrator hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor trust administrator under Section 10.06 and no
notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trust administrator
or separate trust administrator shall be required under Section 10.08.
Every separate trust administrator and co-trust administrator
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the
following provisions and conditions:
(a) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon
the Trust Administrator, except for any obligation of the Trust Administrator
under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Master Servicer or the
Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by
the Trust Administrator and such separate trust administrator or co-trust
administrator jointly (it being understood that such separate trust
administrator or co-trust administrator is not authorized to act separately
without the Trust Administrator joining in such act), except to the extent
that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts
are to be performed by the Trust Administrator (whether as Trust
Administrator hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer or the
Servicer), the Trust Administrator shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion
thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by
such separate trust administrator or co-trust administrator, but solely at
the direction of the Trust Administrator;
(b) no trust administrator hereunder shall be held personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other trust administrator hereunder; and
(c) the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator acting jointly may at
any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trust administrator
or co-trust administrator.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trust
Administrator shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate
trust administrators and co-trust administrators, as effectively as if given
to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trust
administrator or co-trust administrator shall refer to this Agreement and the
conditions of this Article X. Each separate trust administrator and co-trust
administrator, 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust
Administrator. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trust
Administrator and a copy thereof given to the Master Servicer or the
Servicers and the Depositor.
Any separate trust administrator or co-trust administrator may,
at any time, constitute the Trust Administrator, 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. The Trust Administrator shall not be responsible for
any action or inaction of any separate Trust Administrator or Co-Trust
Administrator. If any separate trust administrator or co-trust administrator
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its
estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trust Administrator, to the extent permitted by law, without
the appointment of a new or successor trust administrator.
SECTION 10.11. Office of the Trust Administrator.
The office of the Trust Administrator for purposes of receipt of
notices and demands is the Corporate Trust Office.
SECTION 10.12. Tax Return.
The Master Servicer and each Servicer, upon request, will furnish
the Trust Administrator with all such information related to the Mortgage
Loans in the possession of the Master Servicer or such Servicer as may be
reasonably required in connection with the preparation by the Trust
Administrator of all tax and information returns of the Trust Fund, and the
Trust Administrator shall sign such returns. The Master Servicer and each
Servicer, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify the Trust Administrator
for all reasonable costs, including legal fees and expenses, related to
errors in such tax returns due to errors only in such information provided by
the Master Servicer or by such Servicer.
SECTION 10.13. Commission Reporting.
(a) The Trust Administrator, each Servicer and the Master Servicer shall
reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the Trust's
satisfying the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. The Trust
Administrator shall prepare on behalf of the Depositor any Forms 8-K and 10-K
customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and the Depositor shall
sign and the Trust Administrator shall file (via XXXXX) such Forms on behalf
of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby grants to the Trust Administrator a
limited power of attorney to execute and file each such document on behalf of
the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until the earlier of
(i) receipt by the Trust Administrator from the Depositor of written
termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust.
(b) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trust Administrator within 15 days
after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the
Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior
to March 31st of the calendar year following the calendar year during which
the Closing Date occurs (or such earlier date as may be required by the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission), the Trust
Administrator shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable
law or applicable Commission staff's interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall
include as exhibits, each Servicer's and the Master Servicer's annual
statement of compliance described under Section 3.16 and the accountant's
report described under Section 3.17, in each case to the extent they have
been timely delivered to the Trust Administrator. If they are not so timely
delivered, the Trust Administrator shall file an amended Form 10-K including
such documents as exhibits promptly after they are delivered to the Trust
Administrator. The Trust Administrator shall have no liability with respect
to any failure to properly or timely prepare or file such periodic reports
resulting from or relating to the Trust Administrator's inability or failure
to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence or willful
misconduct. The Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit T (the "Depositor Certification"), which shall be
signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization.
The Trust Administrator shall have no responsibility to file any items other
than those specified in this Section 10.13.
(c) Not later than 15 calendar days before the date on which the
Depositor's annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance
with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission (or, if
such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), the
Trust Administrator shall sign a certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit U (the "Trust Administrator Certification") for the benefit of the
Depositor and its officers, directors and affiliates regarding certain
aspects of items 1 through 3 of the Depositor Certification. In addition,
the Trust Administrator shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 10.01
and 10.02 hereof, indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and each Person,
if any, who "controls" the Depositor within the meaning of the 1933 Act and
its 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 a breach of the Trust Administrator's obligations under this
Section 10.13 or any inaccuracy made in the Trust Administrator
Certification. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10.13(c)
is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless such Persons, then the Trust
Administrator shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Persons
as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such Persons in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
Depositor on the one hand and the Trust Administrator on the other. The
Trust Administrator acknowledges that the Depositor is relying on the Trust
Administrator's performance of its obligations under this Section 10.13 in
order to perform its obligations under Section 10.13(b) above.
(d) (i) Not later than 15 calendar days before the date on which
the Depositor's annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in
accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately
preceding Business Day), the Master Servicer will deliver to the
Depositor and the Trust Administrator an Officer's Certificate for the
prior calendar year in substantially the form of Exhibit V-1 to this
Agreement. The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
each of the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and each Person, if any,
who "controls" the Depositor or the Trust Administrator within the
meaning of the 1933 Act and their respective officers and directors
against any and all losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees
and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees and expenses
that such Person may sustain arising out of third party claims based on
(i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver or cause to be
delivered when required any Officer's Certificate required pursuant to
this Section 10.13(d)(i), or (ii) any material misstatement or omission
contained in any Officer's Certificate provided pursuant to this
Section 10.13(d)(i). If an event occurs that would otherwise result in
an indemnification obligation under clauses (i) or (ii) above, but the
indemnification provided for in this Section 10.13(d)(i) by the Master
Servicer is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless such Persons,
then the Master Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such Persons as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities of such Persons in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the Depositor or Trust Administrator on
the one hand and the Master Servicer on the other. The Master Servicer
acknowledges that the Depositor and the Trust Administrator are relying
on the Master Servicer's performance of its obligations under this
Agreement in order to perform their respective obligations under this
Section 10.13.
(ii) Not later than 15 calendar days before the date on which the
Depositor's annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in
accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately
preceding Business Day), each Servicer, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans serviced by such Servicer, will deliver to the Depositor, the
Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer an Officer's Certificate
for the prior calendar year in substantially the form of Exhibit V-2 to
this Agreement. Each Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
each of the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer and
each Person, if any, who "controls" the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator and the Master Servicer within the meaning of the 1933
Act and their respective officers and directors against any and all
losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs,
judgments and any other costs, fees and expenses that such Person may
sustain arising out of third party claims based on (i) the failure of
such Servicer to deliver or cause to be delivered when required any
Officer's Certificate required pursuant to this Section 10.13(d)(ii),
or (ii) any material misstatement or omission contained in any
Officer's Certificate provided pursuant to this Section 10.13(d)(ii).
If an event occurs that would otherwise result in an indemnification
obligation under clauses (i) or (ii) above, but the indemnification
provided for in this Section 10.13(d)(ii) by such Servicer is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless such Persons, then such
Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Persons
as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such
Persons in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the Depositor, Trust Administrator or the Master Servicer on
the one hand and such Servicer on the other. Each Servicer
acknowledges that the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Master
Servicer are relying on such Servicer's performance of its obligations
under this Agreement in order to perform their respective obligations
under this Section 10.13.
(e) Upon any filing with the Commission, the Trust Administrator shall
promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any executed report, statement or
information.
(f) If the Commission issues additional interpretative guidance or
promulgates additional rules or regulations, or if other changes in
applicable law occur, that would require the reporting arrangements, or the
allocation of responsibilities with respect thereto, described in this
Section 10.13, to be conducted differently than as described, the Depositor,
each Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator will
reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Section 10.13 in order
to comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of this
Section 10.13. Any such amendment shall be made in accordance with
Section 12.01 without the consent of the Certificateholders, and may result
in a change in the reports filed by the Trust Administrator on behalf of the
Trust under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositor,
each Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator shall not be
obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section 10.13 that
adversely affects its obligations and immunities under this Agreement.
(g) Prior to January 31 of the first year in which the Trust Administrator
is able to do so under applicable law, the Trust Administrator shall file a
Form 15D Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust.
SECTION 10.14. Determination of Certificate Index.
On each Interest Determination Date, the Trust Administrator
shall determine each Certificate Index for the Accrual Period and inform the
Master Servicer and each Servicer of such rate and such rate shall be final
and binding, absent a manifest error of the Trust Administrator.

(c) Notice of the Distribution Date on which the Trust Administrator
anticipates that the final distribution shall be made (whether upon Optional
Termination or otherwise), shall be given promptly by the Trust Administrator
by first class mail to Holders of the affected Certificates. Such notice
shall be mailed no earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 10th day
preceding the applicable Optional Termination Date or date of final

maintained for such purposes (the address of which shall be set forth in such
notice).
(d) In the event that any Certificateholders shall not surrender
Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in
the above mentioned written notice, the Trust Administrator shall give a
second written notice to the remaining such Certificateholders to surrender

respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust
Administrator 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 and other assets which remain subject to the Trust Fund.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the occurrence of an

pursuant to Section 11.01(A)(i) or (y) pursuant to Section 11.01(A)(ii) the
related subsidiary REMIC shall be terminated in accordance with the following
additional requirements, unless the Trustee and the Trust Administrator have
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure to comply with
the requirements of this Section will not (i) result in the imposition of
taxes on a "prohibited transaction" of any REMIC created hereunder, as
described in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC 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 Terminating Entity under Section 11.02, the Holder of

(ii) at or after the time of adoption of any such plan of complete
liquidation for REMIC I or REMIC II, as applicable, at or prior to the
final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of
REMIC I or REMIC II, as applicable, to the Depositor for cash.
(b) Upon the exercise of an Optional Termination by Terminating Entity in
respect of REMIC I or REMIC II, as applicable, pursuant to paragraph (a) of
this Section, followed by the exercise of an Optional Termination in respect
of the other subsidiary REMIC (the "Second Subsidiary REMIC") pursuant to
Section 11.01, each remaining REMIC shall be terminated in accordance with
the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
failure to comply with the requirements of this Section will not (i) result
in the imposition of taxes on a "prohibited transaction" of a REMIC, as
described in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding:
(i) concurrently with the adoption of the plan of complete liquidation of
the Second Subsidiary REMIC, as set forth in paragraph (a) of this
Section, the Holder of the Class AR or Class AR-L Certificates, as
applicable, shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation of each
remaining REMIC; and
(ii) at or after the time of adoption of any such plan of complete
liquidation for each such remaining REMIC, at or prior to the final
Distribution Date of the Second Subsidiary REMIC to be terminated, the
Trustee shall sell all of the assets of each such remaining REMIC to
the Depositor for cash.
(c) By its acceptance of a Class AR or Class AR-L Certificate, the Holder
thereof hereby agrees to adopt such a plan of complete liquidation and to
take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably required
to liquidate and otherwise terminate any REMIC created pursuant to this
Agreement.

Depositor pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and (v) the
conveyance by the Depositor to the Trustee as provided for in Section 2.01 of
each of the Sellers' and Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the
Mortgage Loans be, and be construed as, an absolute sale and assignment by
DLJMC to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Trustee of the Mortgage
Loans for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Further, it is not intended
that any conveyance be deemed to be a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by DLJMC
to the Depositor or by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other
obligation. However, in the event that the Mortgage Loans are held to be
property of WMMSC, GreenPoint, DLJMC or the Depositor, as applicable, or if
for any reason the Assignment and Assumption Agreement or this Agreement is
held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, then it
is intended that (i) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security
agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform
Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable
jurisdiction; (ii) the conveyances provided for in Section 2.01 shall be
deemed to be a grant by the Sellers and the Depositor to the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders, to secure payment in full of the Secured
Obligations (as defined below), of a security interest in all of the Sellers'
and the Depositor's right (including the power to convey title thereto),
title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the
Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related
insurance policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage Files, and
all accounts, contract rights, general intangibles, chattel paper,
instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit,
goods, letters of credit, advices of credit and uncertificated securities
consisting of, arising from or relating to (A) the Mortgage Loans, including
with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note and related Mortgage,
and all other documents in the related Trustee Mortgage Files, and including
any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans; (B) pool insurance policies, hazard
insurance policies and any bankruptcy bond relating to the foregoing, if
applicable; (C) the Certificate Account; (D) the Collection Account; (E) all
amounts payable after the Cut-off Date to the holders of the Mortgage Loans
in accordance with the terms thereof; (F) all income, payments, proceeds and
products of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Certificate Account,
whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; and

possession by the Trustee or any other agent of the Trustee of Mortgage Notes
or such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, documents,

(including, without limitation, Sections 9-313, 8-313 or 8-321 thereof); and

SECTION 12.06. 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 12.07. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not
operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or
to take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or
winding up of the Trust Fund, or 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 Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor
shall anything herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates
be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as
partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be
under any liability to any third party 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 Trust
Administrator a written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance
thereof, as provided herein, and unless the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the
Certificates shall also have made written request upon the Trust
Administrator to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as
Trust Administrator hereunder and shall have offered to the Trust
Administrator such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs,
expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trust
Administrator, 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 Trust Administrator, 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 common benefit of all
Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of
this Section 12.07, each and every Certificateholder and the Trust
Administrator shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law
or in equity.
SECTION 12.08. Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid.
It is the intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders
shall not be personally liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the
interests in the Trust Fund represented by the Certificates shall be
nonassessable for any reason whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due
authentication thereof by the Trust Administrator pursuant to this Agreement,
are and shall be deemed fully paid.
SECTION 12.09. Protection of Assets.
Except for transactions and activities entered into in connection
with the securitization that is the subject of this agreement, the trust
created by this agreement is not authorized and has no power to:
(i) borrow money or issue debt;

(iii) engage in any business or activities.
Each party to this agreement agrees that it will not file an
involuntary bankruptcy petition against the Trust Fund or initiate any other
form of insolvency proceeding until 366 days after the Certificates have been
paid.

From and after the date of this Agreement, each of the Depositor,
the Sellers (other than WMMSC), the Master Servicer, the Servicers (other
than WMMSC), the Trust Administrator and the Trustee agrees that it will not
take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its
agents or affiliates, or by any independent contractors on any such party's
behalf, to personally, by telephone, by mail, or electronically by e-mail or
through the Interest or otherwise, solicit the borrower or obligor under any
Mortgage Loan to refinance the Mortgage Loan, in whole or in part.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that promotions
undertaken by the Depositor, any Seller (other than WMMSC), the Master
Servicer, any Servicer (other than WMMSC), the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee or any affiliate of any such party that originates mortgage loans in
the normal course, which are directed to the general public at large, or
segments thereof, including, without limitation, mass mailings based on
commercially acquired mailing lists or newspaper, radio and television
advertisements shall not constitute solicitation under this Section 12.10,
provided, that no segment of the general public shall consist primarily of
the borrowers or obligors under the Mortgage Loans. None of the Depositor, a
Seller (other than WMMSC), the Master Servicer, a Servicer (other than
WMMSC), the Trust Administrator or the Trustee shall permit the sale of the
name of any Mortgagor or any list of names that consist primarily of the
Mortgages to any Person.
WMMSC covenants and agrees that it shall not take any action to
solicit the refinancing of any Mortgage Loan following the date hereof or
provide information to any other entity to solicit the refinancing of any
Mortgage Loan; provided that, the foregoing shall not preclude WMMSC or any
of its affiliates from (a) engaging in general solicitations to its customer
base, including by mass mailing or as part of monthly or periodic statements
mailed to its borrowers or to holders of deposit or other accounts,
(b) engaging in solicitations to the general public, including without
limitation by mass mailing, newspaper, radio, television or other media which
are not specifically directed toward the Mortgagors, (c) engaging in
solicitations of optional insurance or other bank products (not including

related Mortgage Loan or (e) engaging in any action to solicit the
refinancing of any Mortgage Loan to the extent such action would be permitted
under the Xxxxxx Mae Selling Guide or the Xxxxxx Xxx Servicing Guide,
provided that WMMSC agrees that it shall not, in engaging in any such
solicitation, specifically target any of the Mortgage Loans.

SPS AND THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION 13.01. Reports and Notices.
(a) SPS shall provide the Master Servicer the following notices and reports
in a timely manner and such notices and reports shall be prepared using the
same methodology and calculations used in its standard servicing reports to
the Master Servicer. SPS shall send all such notices and reports to the
Master Servicer in a format used for its standard servicing reports. SPS
agrees to provide the Master Servicer with read-only access to those portions
of its default management and servicing platform that relate to the SPS
Mortgage Loans.
(i) All SPS Mortgage Loans - On each Data Remittance Date, commencing in
October 2004, SPS shall provide the Master Servicer a report of each
SPS Mortgage Loan indicating the information contained in Exhibit P for
the period relating to the related Distribution Date.
(ii) Liquidated Mortgage Loans - On each Data Remittance Date SPS shall
provide the Master Servicer with a report listing each SPS Mortgage
Loan that has liquidated or been satisfied in full indicating the
information, or information substantially similar to the information,
contained in Exhibit P together with all supporting documentation for
the prior calendar month.
(iii) Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy Claims - Where applicable, SPS shall
provide the Master Servicer with copies of all claims filed under any
Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy and the actual amount paid, together
with the explanation of benefits ("EOB") for each claim filed under any
Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy in respect of a SPS Mortgage Loan.
SPS shall remit the related Insurance Proceeds within five (5) Business
Days after their receipt, submit to the Master Servicer a foreclosure
settlement statement substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit Q and agrees not to deduct any related expenses prior to the
Master Servicer's approval of the related foreclosure settlement
statement.
(iv) Loss and Delinquency Test - SPS shall provide the Master Servicer with
all information required for calculating the Loss and Delinquency Test,
including but not limited to:
(A) Loan level and aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all SPS Mortgage
Loans 61-90 days delinquent including any loan(s) delinquent on a
bankruptcy plan;
(B) Loan level and aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all SPS Mortgage
Loans 91 days and greater (that are not in foreclosure) including
any loan(s) delinquent on a bankruptcy plan;
(C) Loan level and aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all SPS Mortgage
Loans that are active foreclosures;
(D) Loan level and aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all SPS Mortgage
Loans that are active REOs; and

(b) SPS shall make its servicing personnel available during normal business
hours to respond, either orally or in writing by facsimile transmission,
express mail, or electronic mail, to reasonable inquiries transmitted by the
Master Servicer with respect to any SPS Mortgage Loan provided that SPS shall
only be required to provide information that is readily accessible and
available to its servicing personnel.
SECTION 13.02. Master Servicer's Oversight With Respect to the SPS
Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer shall be permitted to provide SPS with advice,
reports and recommendations regarding SPS' collection efforts and the
management of specific SPS Mortgage Loans, which advice may be made in
writing, in the form of electronic mail or verbally. Such advice shall be
based on an evaluation of the information provided pursuant to
Section 13.01(a). The advice may include comparable analysis of the
performance of the SPS Mortgage Loans with similar mortgage loans serviced by
other mortgage loan servicers. Such advice may also take the form of
benchmark comparisons that identify and interpret SPS' strengths and
weaknesses relative to similar, unidentified servicers in the industry.
(b) Each party to the Agreement acknowledges that the Master Servicer's
advice is made in the form of recommendations, and that the Master Servicer
does not have the right to direct SPS in performing its duties under this
Agreement. SPS may, after review and analysis of any recommendation of the
Master Servicer accept or reject such advice, in SPS' sole discretion,
subject to the duties and obligations of SPS set forth in this Agreement.
SECTION 13.03. Termination.
The rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under Sections
13.01 and 13.02 of this Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the
appointment of a successor Servicer to SPS hereunder for all the SPS Mortgage

equivalent) or better as a servicer of subprime mortgage loans by each Rating
Agency that maintains a servicer rating system and a Rating on the
Certificates.

Neither the Master Servicer, nor any of its respective 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 Sections 13.01 and 13.02 of this Agreement or for errors in judgment;
provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer
or any such other 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 disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder. The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee, or agent
thereof shall be entitled to rely in good faith on any document of any kind
prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any
matters arising hereunder.
SECTION 13.05. Confidentiality.
The Master Servicer agrees that all material, nonpublic
information supplied to it by or on behalf of SPS relating to the SPS
Serviced Mortgage Loans or details of SPS' operations or SPS' proprietary
systems shall be treated confidentially except as otherwise provided by the
terms of this Agreement or as required by law; it being understood that the
provision of any such information by the Master Servicer to any party shall
not cause such information to be considered public for purposes of this
Section 13.05. The Master Servicer shall indemnify SPS against any loss,
liability, claims, charges, damages, fines, penalties, judgments, actions,
suits, costs and such other expenses incurred by SPS as a result of a breach
by the Master Servicer of its obligations under this Section 13.05.

Servicer, the Servicers, the Back-Up Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
