Interests necessary to effect any such consent has been obtained. The Trustee or
the Securities Administrator may conclusively rely upon a certificate of the
Depositor, the Seller or the Master Servicer in determining whether a
Certificate is held by an Affiliate thereof. All references herein to "Holders"

such costs the Servicers may incur in connection with performing its obligations
under this Agreement.
The Mortgage Loans permitted by the terms of this Agreement to
be included in the Trust are limited to (i) Mortgage Loans (which the Depositor

the Custodian on its behalf holds) or will hold all such assets and such other

Section 2.3 REPURCHASE OR SUBSTITUTION OF LOANS.
(a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any
materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage
File or of a breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Loan that
materially and adversely affects the value of such Loan or the interest therein
of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller of such
defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver such
missing document, cure such defect or breach within 60 days from the date the
Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the
Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in
all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the
obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to
repurchase such Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the
date on which the Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or
breach, if and to the extent that the Seller is obligated to do so under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Loan
shall be deposited in the Distribution Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of
written certification from the Securities Administrator of such deposit and
receipt by the Custodian of a properly completed request for release for such
Loan in the form of EXHIBIT 3 to the Custodial Agreement, shall release or cause
the Custodian to release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each
case without recourse, representation or warranty, as the Seller shall furnish
to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller any Loan released pursuant
hereto, and the Trustee shall not have any further responsibility with regard to
such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any such Loan as provided above, if
so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller may cause such
Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall become a Deleted Loan)
and substitute one or more Substitute Loans in the manner and subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.3(b). It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any
Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent
document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing
shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such omission, defect or breach
available to the Trustee and the Certificateholders. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the representation made by the Seller in Section 6(xxiv) of the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement is breached, the Trustee shall enforce the
obligation of the Seller to repurchase such Loan at the Purchase Price, or to
provide a Substitute Loan (plus any costs and damages incurred by the Trust Fund
in connection with any violation by any such Loan of any predatory or abusive
lending law) within 90 days after the date on which the Seller was notified of
such breach.
In addition, promptly upon the earlier of discovery by the
Master Servicer or receipt of notice from the Servicer or the Seller to a
Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer of the breach of the representation
of the Seller set forth in Section 5(x) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the
Certificates in any Prepayment Charge, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify
the Seller and the Trustee of such breach. The Trustee shall enforce the
obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remedy
such breach to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement.
(b) Any substitution of Substitute Loans for Deleted
Loans made pursuant to Section 2.3(a) must be effected prior to the date which
is two years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.
As to any Deleted Loan for which the Seller, substitutes a
Substitute Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Seller
delivering to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for such
Substitute Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the
Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary
endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2 of the Custodial Agreement,
as applicable, together with an Officers' Certificate providing that each such
Substitute Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution
Shortfall Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such
substitution. The Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt
of such Substitute Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter,
review such documents and deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master
Servicer, with respect to such Substitute Loan or Loans, an initial
certification pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee
and the Master Servicer a final certification pursuant to the Custodial
Agreement with respect to such Substitute Loan or Loans, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Substitute Loans
in the month of substitution are not part of REMIC I and shall be retained by
the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders
shall reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Loan on or before the Due
Date in the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled
to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Loan. The
Depositor shall give or cause to be given written notice to the
Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Loan
Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Loan from the terms of this
Agreement and the substitution of the Substitute Loan or Loans and shall deliver
a copy of such amended Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the Master Servicer.
Upon such substitution, such Substitute Loan or Loans shall constitute part of
the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this
Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement including all applicable
representations and warranties thereof included herein or in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more
Substitute Loans for one or more Deleted Loans, the Master Servicer shall
determine the amount (the "Substitution Shortfall Amount"), if any, by which the
aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as
to each such Substitute Loan, the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof as of the
Due Date in the month of substitution, together with one month's interest on
such Scheduled Principal Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, plus all
outstanding Advances and Servicing Advances (including Nonrecoverable Advances)
related thereto. On the date of such substitution, the Seller shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account an amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if
any, and the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of
the related Substitute Loan or Loans and certification by the Securities
Administrator of such deposit and receipt by the Custodian of a properly
completed request for release for such Loan in the form of EXHIBIT 3 to the
Custodial Agreement, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File or
Files and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as the
Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted
Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and
deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any REMIC,
including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited
transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after
the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any REMIC to fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
(c) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the
Master Servicer or the Trustee that any Loan does not constitute a "qualified
mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party
discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof
to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Seller shall repurchase or
substitute one or more Substitute Loans for the affected Loan within 90 days of
the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected
Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made by (i) the Seller, if the
affected Loan's status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach
of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Seller under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Loan's
status as a non-qualified mortgage does not result from a breach of
representation or warranty. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in
the same manner as set forth in Section 2.3(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to
the Seller or the Depositor the Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same
manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Loan repurchased for
breach of a representation or warranty.
(d) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the
Master Servicer or receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant of the Master Servicer set forth in Section
2.5 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the related
Certificateholders in any Loan or Prepayment Charge, the Master Servicer shall
cure such breach in all material respects.
Section 2.4 AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES;
DESIGNATION OF CERTIFICATES AS REMIC REGULAR AND RESIDUAL INTERESTS.
(a) The Trustee acknowledges the transfer to the
extent provided herein and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and, concurrently
with such transfer and assignment, has caused the Securities Administrator to
execute and authenticate and has delivered to or upon the order of the
Depositor, in exchange for the Trust Fund, Certificates evidencing the entire
ownership of the Trust Fund.
(b) This Agreement shall be construed so as to carry
out the intention of the parties that each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III be
treated as a REMIC at all times prior to the date on which the Trust Fund is
terminated. The "regular interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of
the Code) in REMIC III shall consist of the Class I-A-1, Class I-A-2, Class

of the Code) of REMIC I shall consist of Component R-1.

preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer or
such Interim Servicer thereunder and act as servicer of the related Loans or to
cause the Trustee to enter in to a new Servicing Agreement with a successor
servicer selected by the Master Servicer; 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 servicer. Such enforcement, including, without
limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of 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 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 indemnity reasonably acceptable to it for its costs and expenses in
pursuing such action.
(b) To the extent that the costs and expenses of the
Master Servicer related to any termination of an Interim Servicer or a Servicer,
appointment of a successor servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing
by the Master Servicer with respect to any 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 the
related Interim Servicer or the related Servicer as a result of an event of
default by such Interim Servicer or such 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 Loans in accordance with the
related Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the
terminated Interim Servicer or terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Distribution
Account.
(c) The Master Servicer shall require each Interim
Servicer and each Servicer to comply with the remittance requirements and other
obligations set forth in the related Servicing Agreement.
(d) If the Master Servicer acts as Interim Servicer
or Servicer, it shall not assume liability for the representations and
warranties of the Interim Servicer or the Servicer, if any, that it replaces.
Section 3.4 FIDELITY BOND. The Master Servicer, at its
expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and
omissions insurance policy that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or
Xxxxxxx Mac, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers,
employees and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer's behalf, and
covering errors and omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer's
obligations hereunder. The errors and omissions insurance policy and the
fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount generally acceptable for entities
serving as master servicers or trustees. Any such errors and omissions policy
and fidelity bond may not be cancelable without thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to the Trustee.
Section 3.5 POWER TO ACT; PROCEDURES. The Master Servicer
shall master service the Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject
to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of Article X hereof, to do any and
all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master
servicing and administration of the Loans, including but not limited to the
power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, 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, (iii) to
collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate
foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property
securing any Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities
under Section 3.3, shall not permit any Interim Servicer or Servicer to)
knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to
be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more
specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not
taken, as the case may be, would cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC
or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not
limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2)
of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d)
of the Code) unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but
not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated
action will not cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the
imposition of a tax upon any REMIC. The Trustee shall furnish the Master
Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer, with any powers of
attorney empowering the Master Servicer, or any Interim Servicer or Servicer to
execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial
or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate
Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action
relating to the Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the
applicable Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute
and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer, applicable Interim
Servicer or Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master
service and administer the Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each
case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee
shall have no liability for the misuse of any such powers of attorney by the
Master Servicer, any Interim Servicer or any Servicer and shall be indemnified
by the Master Servicer, such Interim Servicer or such Servicer for any costs,
liabilities or expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such misuse).
If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that
the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if
taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected
under the "doing business" or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in
its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of
a co-trustee pursuant to Section 8.10 hereof. In the performance of its duties
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not,
except in those instances where it is taking action authorized pursuant to this
Agreement to be taken by it in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the
agent of the Trustee.
Section 3.6 DUE-ON-SALE CLAUSES; ASSUMPTION AGREEMENTS. To the
extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement and to the extent Loans
contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause the
Servicers and the Interim Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with
the applicable Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement
of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance
with the applicable Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Loan is
assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance
with the applicable Servicing Agreement.
Section 3.7 RELEASE OF MORTGAGE FILES.
(a) Upon becoming aware of Payoff with respect to any
Loan, or the receipt by any Interim Servicer or any Servicer of a notification
that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes
for payment to Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the applicable
Interim Servicer or Servicer will (or if the applicable Interim Servicer or the
applicable Servicer does not, the Master Servicer may), if required under the
applicable Servicing Agreement, promptly furnish to the Custodian, on behalf of
the Trustee, two copies of a request for release substantially in the form
attached to the Custodial Agreement, and signed by a Servicing Officer or in a
mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its
face, originate from a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a
statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such
payment that are required to be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by
the applicable Interim Servicer or Servicer pursuant to its Servicing Agreement
have been or will be so deposited) and shall request that the Custodian, on
behalf of the Trustee, deliver to the applicable Interim Servicer or Servicer
the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the
Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall promptly release the related Mortgage
File to the applicable Interim Servicer or Servicer and the Trustee and
Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage
File. Upon any such Payoff, each Interim Servicer and each Servicer is
authorized to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the
Mortgage that secured the Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of
mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the
Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be,
shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt
therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses
incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as
the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Distribution Account.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the
servicing or foreclosure of any Loan and in accordance with the applicable
Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be
prepared and furnished to the Trustee by an Interim Servicer, a Servicer or the
Master Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are
necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Custodian, on behalf
of the Trustee, shall, upon the request of an Interim Servicer, a Servicer or
the Master Servicer, and delivery to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, of
two copies of a request for release signed by a Servicing Officer substantially
in the form attached to the Custodial Agreement (or in a mutually agreeable
electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from
a Servicing Officer), release the related Mortgage File held in its possession
or control to the related Interim Servicer, the related Servicer or the Master
Servicer, as applicable. Such request for release shall obligate the Servicer,
the Interim Servicer or the Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, when the need therefor by the Interim
Servicer, the Servicer or the Master Servicer no longer exists unless the Loan
shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing
Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be
released by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to the Interim Servicer,
the Servicer or the Master Servicer.
Section 3.8 DOCUMENTS, RECORDS AND FUNDS IN POSSESSION OF
MASTER SERVICER TO BE HELD FOR TRUSTEE.
(a) The Master Servicer shall transmit, and each
Interim Servicer and each Servicer (to the extent required by the related
Servicing Agreement) shall transmit to the Trustee or Custodian such documents
and instruments coming into the possession of the Master Servicer such Servicer
or Interim Servicer from time to time as are required by the terms hereof, or in
the case of the Interim Servicers and the Servicers, the applicable Servicing
Agreement, to be delivered to the Trustee or Custodian. Any funds received by
the Master Servicer, by an Interim Servicer or by a Servicer in respect of any
Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer, by an Interim
Servicer or by a Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or
Subsequent Recoveries in respect of any Loan shall be held for the benefit of
the Trustee and the related Certificateholders subject to the Master Servicer's
right to retain or withdraw from the Distribution Account the Master Servicing
Compensation and other amounts provided in this Agreement, and to the right of
each Interim Servicer and each Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and other
amounts as provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer
shall, and (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) shall
cause each Interim Servicer and each Servicer to, provide access to information
and documentation regarding the Loans to the Trustee, its agents and accountants
at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to
Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance
companies, the OTS, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such
Office and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or
insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the
OTS or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but
only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the
offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request
the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of
such information.
(b) All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held
by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer, in respect of any Loans,
whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from
Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master Servicer
for and on behalf of the Trustee and the related Certificateholders and shall be
and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer, each Interim Servicer and each Servicer shall be
entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are
properly due and payable to the Master Servicer, such Interim Servicer or such
Servicer under this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement.
Section 3.9 STANDARD HAZARD INSURANCE AND FLOOD INSURANCE
POLICIES.
(a) For each Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce
any obligation of the Interim Servicers and the Servicers under the related
Servicing Agreements to maintain or cause to be maintained standard fire and
casualty insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance
with the provisions of the related Servicing Agreements. It is understood and
agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility
requirements set forth in the applicable Servicing Agreement and that no
earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or
to be maintained on property acquired in respect of a defaulted 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) Pursuant to Section 3.23, any amounts collected
by the Master Servicer, by any Interim Servicer or by any Servicer, under any
insurance policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or
repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement) shall be
deposited into the related Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant
to Section 3.24. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer, any Interim Servicer
or any Servicer in maintaining any such insurance if the Mortgagor defaults in
its obligation to do so shall be added to the amount owing under the Loan where
the terms of the Loan so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any
such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the
distributions to be made to Certificateholders and shall be recoverable by the
Master Servicer, such Interim Servicer or such Servicer pursuant to Section
3.24.
Section 3.10 PRESENTMENT OF CLAIMS AND COLLECTION OF PROCEEDS.
The Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing
Agreement) cause the related Interim Servicer or related Servicer to, prepare
and present on behalf of the Trustee and the related Certificateholders all
claims under any insurance policies and take such actions (including the
negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured's claim) as
shall be necessary to realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds
disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed to an Interim Servicer or to a
Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies, bonds
or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the Distribution Account upon
receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair
or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the
presentation of claims on the related Loan to the insurer under any applicable
insurance policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).
Section 3.11 MAINTENANCE OF THE PRIMARY MORTGAGE INSURANCE
POLICIES.
(a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any
Interim Servicer or any Servicer (to the extent such action is prohibited under
the applicable Servicing Agreement) to take, any action that would result in
noncoverage under any primary mortgage insurance policy or any loss which, but
for the actions of such Master Servicer, Interim Servicer or Servicer, would
have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable
efforts to cause each Interim Servicer and each Servicer (to the extent required
under the related Servicing Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the
extent that the Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary
mortgage insurance applicable to each Loan in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master
Servicer shall not, and shall not permit any Interim Servicer or any Servicer
(to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or
refuse to renew any primary mortgage insurance policy that is in effect at the
date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in
force hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and
the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to cause each Interim
Servicer and each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing
Agreement) to present, on behalf of the Trustee and the related
Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any primary mortgage insurance
policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be
necessary to permit recovery under any primary mortgage insurance policies
respecting defaulted Loans. Pursuant to Sections 3.22 and 3.23, any amounts
collected by the Master Servicer, any Interim Servicer or any Servicer under any
primary mortgage insurance policies shall be deposited by the related Interim
Servicer or Servicer in its Protected Account or by the Master Servicer in the
Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.22 or 3.24, as
applicable.
Section 3.12 TRUSTEE TO RETAIN POSSESSION OF CERTAIN INSURANCE
POLICIES AND DOCUMENTS.
The Trustee or the applicable Custodian, shall retain
possession and custody of the originals (to the extent available) of any primary
mortgage insurance policies, or certificate of insurance if applicable, and any
certificates of renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time to time
as contemplated by this Agreement. Until all amounts distributable in respect of
the Certificates have been distributed in full and the Master Servicer otherwise
has fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement, the Trustee or the Custodian
shall also retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance
with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Custodial
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Trustee or the Custodian, upon the execution or receipt thereof the
originals of any primary mortgage insurance policies, any certificates of
renewal, and such other documents or instruments that constitute Loan Documents
that come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time.
Section 3.13 REALIZATION UPON DEFAULTED LOANS. The Master
Servicer shall cause each Interim Servicer and each Servicer (to the extent

satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, all
in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.
Section 3.14 COMPENSATION FOR THE MASTER SERVICER.
(a) In addition to the Master Servicer's right to
receive its Master Servicing Fee, all income and gain realized from any
investment of funds in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the
Master Servicer as compensation (collectively, the "Master Servicing
Compensation"). Servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, if any,
late payment charges, as collected, if any, or otherwise (but not including any
Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by the applicable Interim Servicer or
Servicer and shall not be deposited in the Protected Account. The Master
Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with
its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor
except as provided in this Agreement.
(b) The amount of the Master Servicing Fee payable to
the Master Servicer in respect of any Distribution Date shall be reduced in

(a) In the event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of
any REO Property in respect of any related Loan, the deed or certificate of sale
shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the related
Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall, to the extent provided in the
applicable Servicing Agreement, cause the applicable Interim Servicer or
Servicer to sell any REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as
applicable. Further, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent provided in the
related Servicing Agreement, cause the applicable Interim Servicer or Servicer
to sell any REO Property prior to three years after the end of the calendar year
of its acquisition by REMIC I, unless (i) the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO 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 Interim Servicer or 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. The Master Servicer shall cause the applicable Interim
Servicer or Servicer (to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement)
to protect and conserve, such REO Property in the manner and to the extent
required by the applicable Servicing Agreement, in accordance with the REMIC
Provisions and in a manner that does not result in a tax on "net income from
foreclosure property" or cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.
(b) The Master Servicer shall, to the extent required
by the related Servicing Agreement, cause the applicable Interim Servicer or
Servicer to deposit all funds collected and received in connection with the

Servicer and the applicable Servicer, upon the final disposition of any REO
Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed
Advances and other unreimbursed advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees or
Master Servicing Fees from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the
final disposition of such REO Property; provided, that any such unreimbursed
Advances as well as any unpaid Servicing Fees or Master Servicing Fees may be
reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, prior to final disposition, out of any
net rental income or other net amounts derived from such REO Property.
(d) To the extent provided in the related Servicing
Agreement, the Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO
Property, net of any payment to the Master Servicer, the applicable Interim
Servicer or the applicable Servicer as provided above shall be deposited in the

succeeding Remittance Date.

Agreement, (ii) to the best of such Servicing Officer's knowledge, based on such
review, such Master Servicer has performed and fulfilled its duties,
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement in all material respects
throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any
such duties, responsibilities or obligations, specifying each such default known
to such Servicing Officer and the nature and status thereof, (iii) nothing has
come to the attention of such Servicing Officer to lead such Servicing Officer
to believe that any Interim Servicer or Servicer has failed to perform any of
its duties, responsibilities and obligations under its Servicing Agreement in
all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a material
default in the performance or fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities

immaterial, (ii) such other exceptions as are set forth in such statement and
(iii) such exceptions that the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage

Master Servicer if the Master Servicer shall fail to provide such copies (unless
(i) the Master Servicer shall have failed to provide the Trustee with such

subsequent collection from the related Mortgagor; to remove amounts deposited in
error; to remove fees, charges or other such amounts deposited on a temporary

Section 3.23 DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT.
(a) The Securities Administrator shall establish and
maintain, a Distribution Account with respect to the Loans as a segregated trust
account or accounts. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution
Account as identified by the Master Servicer and as received by the Master
Servicer, the following amounts with respect to the related Loans for the
benefit of the related Certificateholders:
(i) Any amounts withdrawn from a Protected
Account;
(ii) Any Advance and any amounts in respect
of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls or Curtailment Shortfalls;
(iii) Any Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries received by or on behalf of
the Master Servicer;
(iv) The Purchase Price with respect to any
Loans purchased by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.3 and all
proceeds of any Loans or property acquired with respect
thereto purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
9.1;
(v) Any amounts required to be deposited by
the Master Servicer or any Servicer with respect to losses on
investments of deposits in an Account; and
(vi) Any other amounts received by or on
behalf of the Master Servicer and required to be deposited in
the Distribution Account pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) All amounts deposited to the Distribution Account
shall be held by the Securities Administrator in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement. The requirements for crediting the Distribution Account shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges or assumption,
tax service, statement account or payoff, substitution, satisfaction, release
and other like fees and charges, need not be credited by the Master Servicer,
the related Interim Servicer or the related Servicer to the Distribution
Account. In the event that the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be
deposited to the Distribution Account any amount not required to be credited
thereto, the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of a written request
therefor signed by a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, shall promptly
transfer such amount to the Master Servicer, any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.
(c) The Distribution Account shall constitute a trust
account of the Trust Fund segregated on the books of the Securities
Administrator and held by the Securities Administrator in trust in its Corporate
Trust Office, and the Distribution Account and the funds deposited therein shall
not be subject to, and shall be protected from, all claims, liens, and
encumbrances of any creditors or depositors of the Securities Administrator
(whether made directly, or indirectly through a liquidator or receiver of the
Securities Administrator). The amount at any time credited to the Distribution
Account shall be invested in the name of the Master Servicer, in such Eligible
Investments selected by the Master Servicer or deposited in demand deposits with
such depository institutions as selected by the Master Servicer, provided that
time deposits of such depository institutions would be an Eligible Investment.
All Eligible Investments shall mature or be subject to redemption or withdrawal
on or before, and shall be held until, the Distribution Date following the date
of the investment of such funds (the "Investment Withdrawal Distribution Date")
if the obligor for such Eligible Investment is the Securities Administrator or,
if such obligor is any other Person, the Business Day preceding such Investment
Withdrawal Distribution Date. All investment earnings on amounts on deposit in
the Distribution Account from time to time shall be for the account of the
Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be permitted to receive distribution
of any and all investment earnings from the Distribution Account on each
Distribution Date. If there is any loss on an Eligible Investment or demand
deposit, the Master Servicer shall deposit such amount in the Distribution
Account. With respect to the Distribution Account and the funds deposited
therein, the Securities Administrator shall take such action as may be necessary
to ensure that the related Certificateholders shall be entitled to the
priorities afforded to such a trust account (in addition to a claim against the
estate of the Securities Administrator) as provided by 12 U.S.C. ss. 92a(e), and
applicable regulations pursuant thereto, if applicable, or any applicable
comparable state statute applicable to state chartered banking corporations.

Section 3.26 PREPAYMENT PENALTY VERIFICATION.
On or prior to each Servicer Remittance Date, each Interim
Servicer and Servicer shall, to the extent provided in the respective Servicing
Agreement, provide in an electronic format acceptable to the Master Servicer the
data necessary for the Master Servicer to perform its verification duties agreed
to by the Master Servicer and the Depositor. The Master Servicer or a third
party reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Depositor (the
"Verification Agent") will perform such verification duties and will use its
best efforts to issue its findings in a report (the "Verification Report")
delivered to the Master Servicer and the Depositor within ten (10) Business Days
following the related Distribution Date; provided, however, that if the
Verification Agent is unable to issue the Verification Report within ten (10)
Business Days following the Distribution Date, the Verification Agent may issue
and deliver to the Master Servicer and the Depositor the Verification Report
upon the completion of its verification duties. The Master Servicer shall
forward the Verification Report to the respective Interim Servicer or Servicer
and shall notify such Interim Servicer or Servicer if the Master Servicer has
determined that such Interim Servicer or Servicer did not deliver the
appropriate Prepayment Charges to the Master Servicer in accordance with the
respective Servicing Agreement. Such written notification from the Master
Servicer shall include the loan number, prepayment penalty code and prepayment
penalty amount as calculated by the Master Servicer or the Verification Agent,
as applicable, of each Loan for which there is a discrepancy. If the respective
Interim Servicer or Servicer agrees with the verified amounts, such Interim
Servicer or Servicer shall adjust the immediately succeeding Remittance Report
and the amount remitted to the Master Servicer with respect to prepayments
accordingly. If the respective Interim Servicer or Servicer disagrees with the
determination of the Master Servicer, such Interim Servicer or Servicer shall,
within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of the Verification Report, notify
the Master Servicer of such disagreement and provide the Master Servicer with
detailed information to support such Interim Servicer's or Servicer's position.
The respective Interim Servicer or Servicer and the Master Servicer shall
cooperate to resolve any discrepancy on or prior to the immediately succeeding
Servicer Remittance Date, and such Interim Servicer or such Servicer will
indicate the effect of such resolution on the related Remittance Report and
shall adjust the amount remitted with respect to prepayments on such Servicer
Remittance Date accordingly.
During such time as the respective Interim Servicer or
Servicer and the Master Servicer are resolving discrepancies with respect to the
Prepayment Charges, no payments in respect of any disputed Prepayment Charges
will be remitted to the Distribution Account and the Master Servicer shall not
be obligated to remit such payments, unless otherwise required pursuant to
Section 7.1 hereof. In connection with such duties, the Master Servicer shall be
able to rely solely on the information provided to it by the respective Interim
Servicer or Servicer in accordance with this Section. The Master Servicer shall
not be responsible for verifying the accuracy of any of the information provided
to it by the respective Interim Servicer or Servicer.

(a) Prior to each Distribution Date, the Master
Servicer, based solely on the information provided by the related Servicer,
shall determine the amount of Realized Losses, if any, with respect to each
Group I Loan and Group II Loan.
(b) Realized Losses, other than Excess Losses, shall
be allocated as follows: (i) for losses allocable to principal, (a) first,
sequentially, to the Class B-5, Class B-4, Class B-3, Class B-2, Class B-1 and
Class M Certificates, in that order, until the Certificate Principal Balance of
each such Class been reduced to zero, and (b) second, (1) with respect to
Realized Losses related to the Group I Loans, concurrently to the Class I-A-1,
Class I-A-3, Class I-A-5 and Class I-A-7 Certificates, on a pro rata basis based
on the Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class, in each case until the
Certificate Principal Balance of such Class has been reduced to zero, and (b)
with respect to Realized Losses related to the Group II Loans, concurrently to
the Class II-A-1, Class II-A-3 and Class R Certificates, on a pro rata basis
based on the Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class, in each case
until the Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class has been reduced to
zero; and (ii) for losses allocable to interest, (a) first, sequentially, to the
Class B-5, Class B-4, Class B-3, Class B-2, Class B-1 and Class M Certificates,
in that order, in reduction of accrued but unpaid interest thereon until the
amount of interest accrued on such Certificate on such Distribution Date has
been reduced to zero, and then in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance
of such Certificate until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero, and (b) second, to the Senior Certificates relating to the Loan
Group for which such Realized Losses were incurred, by Pro Rata Allocation,
until the aggregate of the Certificate Principal Balances thereof have been
reduced to zero. In addition, to the extent the related Servicer receives
Subsequent Recoveries with respect to any defaulted Loan, the amount of the
Realized Loss with respect to that defaulted Loan will be reduced to the extent
such Subsequent Recoveries are applied to reduce the Certificate Principal
Balance of any Class of Certificates on any Distribution Date.
(c) Excess Losses with respect to the Group I Loans
and Group II Loans will be allocated to the outstanding Class or Classes of
Senior Certificates (other than the Class I-A-2, Class I-A-4, Class I-A-6 and
Class II-A-2 Certificates) of the related Loan Group and to the Subordinate
Certificates by Pro Rata Allocation.
(d) On each Distribution Date, if the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Group I Senior Certificates (other than the
Class I-A-2, Class I-A-4 and Class I-A-6 Certificates), Group II Senior
Certificates (other than the Class II-A-2 Certificates) and Subordinate
Certificates exceeds the aggregate Principal Balance of the Group I Loans and
Group II Loans (after giving effect to distributions of principal and the
allocation and reimbursement of all losses on the related certificates on such
Distribution Date), such excess will be deemed a principal loss and will be
allocated to the Subordinate Certificates in reverse order of seniority until
the Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class has been reduced to zero.
If the Certificate Principal Balance of each Subordinate Certificate has been
reduced to zero and the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Group I
Senior Certificates (other than the Class I-A-2, Class I-A-4 and Class I-A-6
Certificates) and Group II Senior Certificates (other than the Class II-A-2
Certificates) exceeds the aggregate Principal Balance of the Group I Loans and
Group II Loans (after giving effect to distributions of principal and the
allocation and reimbursement of all losses on the Certificates on such
Distribution Date), such excess will be deemed a principal loss and, if
attributable to the Group I Loans, will be allocated to the Group I Senior
Certificates (other than the Class I-A-2, Class I-A-4 and Class I-A-6
Certificates) by Pro Rata Allocation until the Certificate Principal Balance of
each such Class has been reduced to zero, and if attributable to the Group II
Loans, will be allocated to the Group II Senior Certificates (other than the
Class II-A-2 Certificates) by Pro Rata Allocation, until Certificate Principal
Balance of each such Class has been reduced to zero.
(e) Realized Losses from the Group I Loans and Group
II Loans shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each
Distribution Date, first, to REMIC I Regular Interest LT-1SUB and REMIC I
Regular Interest LT-2SUB, as applicable, so that the Uncertificated Balance of
each such REMIC I Regular Interest is equal to 0.1% of the excess of (x) the
aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans in the related Loan Group
over (y) the current Certificate Principal Balance of the Group I Senior
Certificates (other than the Class I-A-2, Class I-A-4 and Class I-A-6
Certificates) or Group II Senior Certificates (other than the Class II-A-2
Certificates), as applicable (except that if any such excess is a larger number
than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of Realized Losses
shall be applied to such REMIC I Regular Interests such that the REMIC I
Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and second, to REMIC I Regular
Interest LT-1GRP and REMIC I Regular Interest LT-2GRP, as applicable, so that
the Undertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest
remains equal to 0.1% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Group
I Loans and Group II Loans, respectively, and third, any remaining Realized
Losses from each Loan Group shall be allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest
LT-ZZZ.
Realized Losses from the Group I Loans and the Group II Loans
shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each Distribution
Date, first, to REMIC II Regular Interest LT-ISUB and REMIC II Regular Interest
LT-IISUB, respectively, and second, any remaining Realized Losses from each Loan
Group shall be allocated to (i) REMIC II Regular Interest LT-IA1, REMIC II
Regular Interest LT-IA3, REMIC II Regular Interest LT-IA5 and REMIC II Regular
Interest LT-IA7, pro rata and (ii) REMIC II Regular Interest LT-IIA1 and REMIC
II Regular Interest LT-IIA3, pro rata respectively.
Section 4.3 REDUCTION OF CERTIFICATE PRINCIPAL BALANCES ON THE
CERTIFICATES.
(a) All reductions in the Certificate Principal
Balance of a Certificate effected by distributions of principal or allocations
of Realized Losses with respect to the related Loans made on any Distribution
Date shall be binding upon all Holders of such Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer or exchange therefor or in
lieu thereof, whether or not such distribution is noted on such Certificate. Any
Subsequent Recoveries collected by the Interim Servicers or the Servicers will
be distributed as part of the Available Distribution Amount in accordance with
the priorities described under Section 4.1. Holders of such Certificates will
not be entitled to any payment in respect of current interest on the amount of
such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date
on which such increase occurs.
(b) The final distribution of principal of each
Certificate (and the final distribution with respect to the Residual
Certificates upon termination of the Trust Fund) shall be payable in the manner
provided above only upon presentation and surrender thereof on or after the
Distribution Date therefor at the office or agency of the Securities
Administrator specified in the notice delivered pursuant to Section 4.6 or
Section 9.1.
(c) Whenever, on the basis of Curtailments, Payoffs
and Monthly Payments on the Loans and related Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation
Proceeds received and expected to be received during the applicable Prepayment
Period, the Securities Administrator believes that the entire remaining unpaid
aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates shall
become distributable on the next Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator
shall, no later than the Determination Date of the month of such Distribution
Date, mail or cause to be mailed to each Person in whose name a Certificate to
be so retired is registered at the close of business on the Record Date, to the
Underwriter and to each Rating Agency a notice to the effect that:
(i) it is expected that funds sufficient to
make such final distribution shall be available in the
Distribution Account on such Distribution Date, and
(ii) if such funds are available, (A) such
final distribution shall be payable on such Distribution Date,
but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate
at the office or agency of the Securities Administrator
maintained for such purpose (the address of which shall be set
forth in such notice), and (B) no interest shall accrue on
such Certificate after such Distribution Date.
Section 4.4 COMPLIANCE WITH WITHHOLDING REQUIREMENTS.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall comply with all federal
withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders of interest
or original issue discount that the Trustee and the Securities Administrator
reasonably believe are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the
Securities Administrator does withhold any amount from interest or original
issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to
federal withholding requirements, the Securities Administrator shall indicate
the amount withheld to such Certificateholders.
Section 4.5 DISTRIBUTIONS ON THE UNCERTIFICATED REMIC REGULAR

Distributions of principal from the Loans shall be deemed to
be made to the REMIC I Regular Interests, in each case from the related Loan
Group, first, to REMIC I Regular Interest LT-1SUB and REMIC I Regular Interest
LT-2SUB, as applicable, so that the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each
such REMIC I Regular Interest is equal to 0.1% of the excess of (x) the
aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans in the related Loan Group
over (y) the current Certificate Principal Balance of the Group I Senior
Certificates or Group II Senior Certificates related to such Loan Group (except
that if any such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution
period, the least amount of principal shall be distributed to such REMIC I
Regular Interests such that the REMIC I Subordinated Balance Ratio is
maintained); second, to REMIC I Regular Interest LT-1GRP and REMIC I Regular
Interest LT-2GRP, as applicable, so that the Uncertificated Principal Balance of
each such REMIC I Regular Interest remains equal to 0.1% of the aggregate
Scheduled Principal Balance of the Group I Loans and Group II Loans,
respectively; and third, any remaining principal in each Loan Group to REMIC I
Regular Interest LT-ZZZ. Interest shall be payable to each REMIC I Regular
Interest at the related Uncertificated REMIC I Pass-Through Rate on each such
REMIC I Regular Interest's Uncertificated Principal Balance.
Distributions of principal from the Loans shall be deemed to
be made to the REMIC II Regular Interests, in each case from the related Loan
Group, first, to REMIC II Regular Interest LT-IA1, REMIC I Regular Interest
LT-IA3, REMIC I Regular Interest LT-IA5, REMIC I Regular Interest LT-IA7, REMIC
II Regular Interest LT-IIA1, REMIC II Regular Interest LT-IIA3 and REMIC II

Class II-A-3 and Class R Certificates, respectively, and second, any remaining
principal in each Loan Group to REMIC II Regular Interest LT-ISUB and REMIC II
Regular Interest LT-IISUB in the same manner and priority as such distributions
are made to the Subordinate Certificates. Interest shall be payable to each
REMIC II Regular Interest at the related Uncertificated REMIC II Pass-Through

Section 4.7 ADVANCES.
If the Monthly Payment on a Loan or a portion thereof is
delinquent as of its Due Date, other than as a result of interest shortfalls due

pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall deposit
in the Distribution Account, from its own funds or from amounts on deposit in
the Distribution Account that are held for future distribution, not later than
the Distribution Account Deposit Date immediately preceding the related
Distribution Date an amount equal to such delinquency, net of the Servicing Fee
and Master Servicing Fee for such Loan except to the extent the Master Servicer
determines any such advance to be nonrecoverable from Liquidation Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds, or future payments on the Loan for which such Advance was
made. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be
appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer's records and replaced by the
Master Servicer by deposit in the Distribution Account on or before any future
Distribution Account Deposit Date to the extent that the Group I Available
Distribution Amount or Group II Available Distribution Amount (determined
without regard to Advances to be made on the related Distribution Account
Deposit Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be distributed to
the related Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.1 on such

continue to make such Advances through the date that the related Servicer or
Interim Servicer, as applicable is required to do so under its Servicing
Agreement. In the event the Master Servicer elects not to make an Advance
because the Master Servicer deems such Advance nonrecoverable pursuant to this
Section 4.7 on the related Distribution Account Deposit Date, the Master
Servicer shall present an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee (i) stating that
the Master Servicer elects not to make an Advance in a stated amount and (ii)
detailing the reason it deems the advance to be nonrecoverable.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.1 THE CERTIFICATES.
(a) The Certificates in the aggregate will represent
the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Loans and all other assets
included in REMIC I.
The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed
hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-10. The Certificates of each Class will be
issuable in registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage
Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share
ratably in all rights of the related Class.
Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed and
authenticated by the Securities Administrator and delivered by the Trustee to
and upon the written order of the Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed
by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trust by the Securities
Administrator by an authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the manual or
facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of
the Securities Administrator shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at
the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such
Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided
herein executed by the Securities Administrator by manual signature, and such
certificate of authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
(b) The Certificates, other than the Class R
Certificates and Junior Subordinate Certificates, shall initially be issued as
one or more Certificates held by the Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to
hold such Certificates as provided below, the Depository and registered in the
name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided below,
registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Securities
Administrator except to another Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates
for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The
Certificate Owners shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to
such Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and,
except as provided below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully registered
Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") in respect of such Ownership Interests.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in
the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures
established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such
Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership
Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or
of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the
Depository's normal procedures. The Securities Administrator is hereby initially
appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in
accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has with the
Depository authorizing it to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and, if
it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall,
appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Servicers, the
Master Servicer and, if the Trustee is not the Book-Entry Custodian, the
Trustee, any other transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor
Depository) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the
predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository
may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be
relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by reason of any such
appointment of other than the Depository. If the Securities Administrator
resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor
Securities Administrator or, if it so elects, the Depository shall immediately
succeed to its predecessor's duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall
have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Certificates held as
Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.
(c) Any Junior Subordinate Certificate initially
offered and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be
issued in the form of a temporary global certificate in definitive, fully
registered form (each, a "Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate"), which
shall be deposited with the Securities Administrator or an agent of the
Securities Administrator as custodian for the Depository and registered in the
name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depository for the account of designated
agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream. Beneficial interests in
each Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate may be held only through
Euroclear or Clearstream; provided, however, that such interests may be
exchanged for interests in a Definitive Certificate in accordance with the
requirements described in Section 5.02. After the expiration of the Release
Date, a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate may
be exchanged for a beneficial interest in the related permanent global
certificate of the same Class (each, a "Regulation S Permanent Global
Certificate"), in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.02. Each
Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate shall be deposited with the Securities
Administrator or an agent of the Securities Administrator as custodian for the
Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the
Depository.
(d) The Junior Subordinate Certificates offered and
sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers ("QIBs") in reliance on Rule 144A under
the Securities Act ("Rule 144A") will be issued in the form of Definitive
Certificates.
(e) The Trustee, the Servicers, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Depositor may for all purposes
(including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates and Global
Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the
Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates and Global
Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders
hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry
Certificates and Global Certificates shall be limited to those established by
law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository
Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple
requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the
Book-Entry Certificates and Global Certificates with respect to any particular
matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to
different Certificate Owners. The Securities Administrator may establish a
reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or
voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such
record date.
If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Securities Administrator
in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly
discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to
locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the
Securities Administrator in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry
system through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event
of Default, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51%
of the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Securities
Administrator through the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a
book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of
the Certificate Owners, the Securities Administrator shall notify all
Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event
and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners
requesting the same. With respect to a Global Certificate, the related
Certificate Owner (other than a Holder of a Regulation S Temporary Global
Certificate) may request that its interest in a Global Certificate be exchanged
for a Definitive Certificate. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator of
the Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as
applicable, or the Global Certificates by the Depository accompanied by
registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the
Securities Administrator shall cause the Definitive Certificates to be issued.
Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $10,000
except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry
Certificate, or a Global Certificate, as applicable in an amount less than
$10,000 immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be
issued in a minimum denomination equal to the amount represented by such
Book-Entry Certificate or a Global Certificate, as applicable. None of the
Depositor, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or
the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of such instructions
and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein
to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed
to be imposed upon and performed by the Securities Administrator on behalf of
the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive
Certificates, and the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall
recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder.
(f) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator shall have any liability to the Trust Fund and shall be
indemnified by the Trust Fund for, any cost, liability or expense incurred by
them arising from a registration of a Certificate or transfer, pledge sale or
other disposition of a Certificate in reliance upon a certification, Officer's
Certificate, affidavit, ruling or Opinion of Counsel described in this Article
V.
Section 5.2 REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF
CERTIFICATES.
(a) The Securities Administrator shall cause to be
kept at one of the offices or agencies to be appointed by the Securities
Administrator in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.11, a Certificate
Register for the Certificates in which, subject to such reasonable regulations
as it may prescribe, the Securities Administrator shall provide for the
registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as
herein provided.
(b) No transfer of any Junior Subordinate Certificate
shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification
under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does
not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a
transfer of a Junior Subordinate Certificate is to be made without registration
or qualification (other than in connection with the initial transfer of any such
Certificate by the Depositor), the Securities Administrator shall require
receipt of: (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule
144A under the Securities Act, written certifications from the Certificateholder
desiring to effect the transfer and from such Certificateholder's prospective
transferee, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1; (ii) if
such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 501(a) under the
Securities Act, written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to
effect the transfer and from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2; (iii) if such transfer
is purportedly being made in reliance on Regulation S, a written certification
from the prospective transferee, substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B-3 and (iv) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to
the Securities Administrator that such transfer may be made without such
registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator or the Servicers), together with copies of the written
certification(s) of the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or
such Certificateholder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based, if any. Neither of the Depositor nor the Securities
Administrator is obligated to register or qualify any such Certificates under
the Securities Act or any other securities laws or to take any action not
otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder
desiring to effect the transfer of any such Certificate shall, and does hereby
agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator and the Servicers against any liability that may result
if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal
and state laws.
A holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary
Global Certificate must provide Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be,
with a certificate in the form of Annex A to Exhibit B-4 hereto certifying that
the beneficial owner of the interest in such Global Certificate is not a U.S.
Person (as defined in Regulation S), and Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case
may be, must provide to the Trustee and Securities Administrator a certificate
in the form of Exhibit B-4 hereto prior to (i) the payment of interest or
principal with respect to such holder's beneficial interest in the Regulation S
Temporary Global Certificate and (ii) any exchange of such beneficial interest
for a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate.
(c) No transfer of a Residual Certificate or any
interest therein shall be made to any Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or any Person acquiring such Certificates with "Plan Assets" of a Plan within
the meaning of the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R. ss.
2510.3-101 ("Plan Assets") unless the Securities Administrator is provided with
an Opinion of Counsel on which the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Servicers may rely, which
establishes to the satisfaction of the Securities Administrator that the
purchase of such Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will not
constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee, the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund to any
obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the
Servicers, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the
Trust Fund. An Opinion of Counsel will not be required in connection with the
initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the
Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any affiliate thereof shall have
deemed to have represented that such affiliate is not a Plan or a Person
investing Plan Assets) and the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to
conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the
Securities Administrator, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor
of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.
Each Transferee of a Class M or Class B Certificate will be
deemed to have represented by virtue of its purchase or holding of such
Certificate (or interest therein) that either (a) such Transferee is not a Plan
or purchasing such Certificate with Plan Assets, (b) for Certificates other than
Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class B-5 Certificates, it has acquired and is holding
such Certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption ("PTE") 94-84
or FAN 97-03E, as amended by PTE 97-34, 62 Fed. Reg. 39021 (July 21, 1997), PTE
2000-58, 65 Fed. Reg. 67765 (November 13, 2000) and PTE 2002-41, 67 Fed. Reg.
54487 (August 22, 2002) (the "Exemption"), and that it understands that there
are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption including that such
Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or
its equivalent) by a Rating Agency or (c) the following conditions are
satisfied: (i) such Transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the source of funds
used to purchase or hold such Certificate (or interest therein) is an "insurance
company general account" (as defined in PTCE 95-60, and (iii) the conditions set
forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
If any Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held
in violation of the conditions described in this Section 5.2(c), the next
preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of
that Certificate, retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported
beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of
any certificate or interest therein was effected in violation of the conditions
described in this Section 5.2(c) shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator and the Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities,
claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result of that
acquisition or holding.
(d) Each Transferee of a Class R Certificate shall be
deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of the related Ownership Interest to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably
appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact to negotiate the
terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute all
instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with
any such sale, and the rights of each Transferee of a Class R Certificate are
expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each such Transferee shall be a
Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Securities
Administrator of any change or impending change in its status
as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Person shall acquire an Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate unless such Ownership
Interest is a PRO RATA undivided interest.
(iii) In connection with any proposed
transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate,
the Securities Administrator shall as a condition to
registration of the transfer, require delivery to it, in form
and substance satisfactory to it, of each of the following:
(A) an affidavit in the form of
Exhibit C hereto from the proposed Transferee to the
effect that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee
and that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest
in the Class R Certificate that is the subject of the
proposed transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for
any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee; and
(B) a covenant of the proposed
Transferee to the effect that the proposed Transferee
agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer
restrictions applicable to the Class R Certificates.
(iv) Any attempted or purported transfer of
any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation
of the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely null and
void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If
any purported Transferee shall, in violation of the provisions
of this Section, become a Holder of a Class R Certificate,
then the prior Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a
Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the
registration of transfer of such Class R Certificate was not
in fact permitted by this Section, be restored to all rights
as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of
transfer of such Class R Certificate. The Securities
Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for
any registration of transfer of a Class R Certificate that is
in fact not permitted by this Section or for making any
distributions due on such Class R Certificate to the Holder
thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the
Securities Administrator received the documents specified in
clause (iii). The Securities Administrator shall be entitled
to recover from any Holder of a Class R Certificate that was
in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such
distributions were made all distributions made on such Class R
Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the
Securities Administrator shall be distributed and delivered by
the Securities Administrator to the prior Holder of such Class
R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.
(v) If any Person other than a Permitted
Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section,
then the Securities Administrator shall have the right but not
the obligation, without notice to the Holder of such Class R
Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest
therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of
such Class R Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of
commissions (which may include commissions payable to the
Depositor or its affiliates in connection with such sale),
expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the
Securities Administrator to the previous Holder of such Class
R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in
the event that the Securities Administrator determines that
the Holder of such Class R Certificate may be liable for any
amount due under this Section or any other provisions of this
Agreement, the Securities Administrator may withhold a
corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such
claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause
(v) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the
Securities Administrator and it shall not be liable to any
Person having an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate
as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
(vi) If any Person other than a Permitted
Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section,
then the Securities Administrator upon receipt of reasonable
compensation will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and
to the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the
Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under
Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of Class R
interests to Disqualified Organizations.
The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply
to transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been
delivered to the Securities Administrator, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Securities Administrator, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency
that the removal of the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section will
not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and
(ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any
REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC. The Holder of the Class R
Certificate issued hereunder, while not a Disqualified Organization, is the Tax
Matters Person.
(e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or
agency of the Securities Administrator maintained for such purpose pursuant to
Section 8.11, the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated Transferee or Transferees, one or more
new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.
(f) At the option of the Holder thereof, any
Certificate may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with
Authorized Denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon
surrender of such Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the
Securities Administrator maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.11.
Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Securities
Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which
the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every
Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so
required by the Securities Administrator) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing.
(g) No service charge to the Certificateholders shall
be made for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities
Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or
exchange of Certificates.
(h) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and
exchange shall be canceled and destroyed by the Securities Administrator in
accordance with its customary procedures.
Section 5.3 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN CERTIFICATES.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the
Securities Administrator, or the Securities Administrator receives evidence to
its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and of the
ownership thereof, and (ii) there is delivered to Securities Administrator such
security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the
absence of actual knowledge by the Securities Administrator that such
Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Securities
Administrator, shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in
lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of the same Class and of like denomination and Percentage Interest.
Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Securities
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 Securities Administrator)
connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section
shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the
applicable REMIC created hereunder, as if originally issued, whether or not the
lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 5.4 PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.
The Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and any agent of any of them may treat
the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.1
and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Servicers,
the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or any agent of
any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 5.5 CERTAIN AVAILABLE INFORMATION.
On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Junior
Subordinate Certificate to an Independent third party, the Depositor shall
provide to the Securities Administrator ten copies of any private placement
memorandum or other disclosure document used by the Depositor in connection with
the offer and sale of such Certificate. In addition, if any such private
placement memorandum or disclosure document is revised, amended or supplemented
at any time following the delivery thereof to the Securities Administrator, the
Depositor promptly shall inform the Securities Administrator of such event and
shall deliver to the Securities Administrator ten copies of the private
placement memorandum or disclosure document, as revised, amended or
supplemented. The Securities Administrator shall maintain at its office as set
forth in Section 11.5 hereof and shall make available free of charge during
normal business hours for review by any Holder of a Certificate or any Person
identified to the Securities Administrator as a prospective transferee of a
Certificate, originals or copies of the following items: (i) in the case of a
Holder or prospective transferee of a Junior Subordinate Certificate, the
private placement memorandum or other disclosure document relating to such Class
of Certificates, in the form most recently provided to the Securities
Administrator; and (ii) in all cases, (A) this Agreement and any amendments
hereof entered into pursuant to Section 10.1, (B) all monthly statements
required to be delivered to Certificateholders of the Junior Subordinate
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.6 since the Closing Date, and all other
notices, reports, statements and written communications delivered to the
Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to this Agreement since the
Closing Date and (C) any copies of all Officers' Certificates of the Servicers
since the Closing Date delivered to the Master Servicer to evidence such
Person's determination that any Monthly Advance or Servicing Advance was, or if
made, would be a Nonrecoverable Monthly Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance. Copies and mailing of any and all of the foregoing items will be
available from the Securities Administrator upon request at the expense of the
Person requesting the same.

any breach of warranties, representations or covenants made herein or in the
Servicing Agreements, or against any specific liability imposed on the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Interim Servicers or the Servicers
pursuant hereto or pursuant to the Servicing Agreements, or against any

under this Agreement, the Custodial Agreement, the applicable Servicing
Agreement or the Cap Contracts and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any
expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Custodian and the Securities Administrator may in its discretion
undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect
to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the
interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses
and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except any loss,

duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder
are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination pursuant
to the preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer
shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the

the Master Servicer arising prior to the effective date thereof.
Section 6.6 RIGHTS OF THE DEPOSITOR IN RESPECT OF THE MASTER

Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding
two sentences without the Master Servicer's written consent, except as required
pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i)
in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other
governmental agencies or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority
having jurisdiction over the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in
any case, the Depositor or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall use its best
efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public
information. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations
of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to,
perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of
any of its obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the
Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or
liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and is not
obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement or otherwise.
Section 6.7 DUTIES OF THE CREDIT RISK MANAGER.
For and on behalf of the Depositor, pursuant to the Credit

Manager pursuant to the related Credit Risk Management Agreement, and the Credit
Risk Manager shall look solely to the related Servicer and/or Master Servicer
for all information and data (including loss and delinquency information and
data) relating to the servicing of the related Loans. Upon any termination of
the Credit Risk Manager or the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager,
the Depositor shall give written notice thereof to the Servicers, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee and each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
termination of the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to this Section shall not become
effective until the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager.
Section 6.8 LIMITATION UPON LIABILITY OF THE CREDIT RISK
MANAGER.
Neither the Credit Risk Manager, nor any of its directors,
officers, employees, or agents shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the
Certificateholders, or the Depositor for any action taken or for refraining from
the taking of any action made in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, in
reliance upon information provided by a Servicer under a Credit Risk Management
Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Credit Risk Manager or any such person against liability
that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance or bad faith in
its performance of its duties. The Credit Risk Manager and any director,
officer, employee, or agent of the Credit Risk Manager may rely in good faith on
any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any
Person respecting any matters arising hereunder, and may rely in good faith upon
the accuracy of information furnished by a Servicer pursuant to a Credit Risk
Management Agreement in the performance of its duties thereunder and hereunder.

of its or their sole discretion. The Certificateholders shall provide written
notice of the Credit Risk Manager's removal to the Trustee. Upon receipt of such
notice, the Trustee shall provide written notice to the Credit Risk Manager of
its removal, which shall be effective upon receipt of such notice by the Credit

Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect
any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the

Trustee by the Holders of the related Certificates evidencing,
in aggregate, not less than 25% of the aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance of the Certificates; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency

in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or
state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment
of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or

Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force
undischarged or unstayed for a period of 90 days; or
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to

any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets
and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to it or
of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

make any Advance on any Distribution Account Deposit Date
required to be made from its own funds pursuant to Section 4.7
which continues unremedied until 3:00 p.m. New York time on
the Business Day immediately following the Distribution
Account Deposit Date.
If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses
(ii) through (v) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such
case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been
remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the
Holders of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 51% of the
aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates, the Trustee shall,
by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Depositor if given by
the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor) with a copy to each
Rating Agency, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer (and the Securities Administrator if the Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator are the same entity) in its capacity as Master Servicer
(and in its capacity as Securities Administrator if the Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator are the same entity) under this Agreement, to the
extent permitted by law, and in and to the Loans and the proceeds thereof.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.4, if a Master Servicer Event of
Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by
notice in writing to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, terminate all of the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer (and the Securities Administrator
if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity) in
its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement (and in its capacity as
Securities Administrator if the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator
are the same entity) and in and to the Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or
after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority
and power of the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities
Administrator) under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates
(other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Loans or otherwise, shall
pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and,
without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the
expense of the Master Servicer, (and, if applicable, the Securities
Administrator) any and all documents and other instruments and to do or
accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the
purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and
endorsement or assignment of the Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The
Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) agrees
promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such
notice) to provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to
enable it to assume the Master Servicer's (and, if applicable, the Securities
Administrator's) functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the
Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's (and, if
applicable, the Securities Administrator's) responsibilities and rights under
this Agreement (provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall continue to be
entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on
or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances or
otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.3,
notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to
such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.1, the Trustee shall not be
deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee's
Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of
any event which is in fact such a Master Servicer Event of Default is received
by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust or this
Agreement. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of the
occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default of which it has knowledge as
provided above.
Section 7.2 TRUSTEE TO ACT; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.
On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master
Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) in its capacity as
Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) under this
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein, and all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter
shall be assumed by the Trustee (except for any representations or warranties of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities contained in Section 2.3 and the obligation to deposit amounts in
respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.23(c)) by the terms and provisions
hereof including, without limitation, the Master Servicer's obligations to make
Advances no later than each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.7; provided,
however, that if the Trustee is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating
itself to make advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Trustee
shall not be obligated to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.7; and provided
further, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by
the Master Servicer's failure to provide information required by Section 7.1
shall not be considered a default by the Trustee as successor to the Master
Servicer hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to
the Master Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the Loans, investment
earnings on the Distribution Account and all other remuneration to which the
Master Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder.
Notwithstanding the above and subject to the immediately following paragraph,
the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable
to so act or if it is prohibited by law from making advances regarding
delinquent mortgage loans or if the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in
aggregate, not less than 51% of the Certificate Principal Balance of the
Certificates so request in writing promptly appoint or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing
institution acceptable to each Rating Agency and having a net worth of not less
than $15,000,000, as the successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement
in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or
liabilities of the Master Servicer under this Agreement.
No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer (and, if
applicable, the Securities Administrator) under this Agreement shall be
effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the Master Servicer's
(and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator's) responsibilities, duties
and liabilities hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption
described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of
such successor out of payments on Loans as it and such successor shall agree;
provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that
permitted the Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator)
as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor shall take such
action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any
such succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer (and,
if applicable, the Securities Administrator) under this Agreement, the Trustee
shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. The transition costs and
expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the replacement of the
Master Servicer (and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) shall be
reimbursed out of the Trust.
Section 7.3 NOTIFICATION TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS.
(a) Upon any termination of the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.1 or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.2, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the
Certificate Register.
(b) Not later than the later of 60 days after the
occurrence of any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of
time or both, would constitute a Master Servicer Event of Default or five days
after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of
such an event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates
notice of each such occurrence, unless such default or Master Servicer Event of
Default shall have been cured or waived.
Section 7.4 WAIVER OF MASTER SERVICER EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
The Holders evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 66-2/3% of
the aggregate Percentage Interests of all Certificates affected by any default
or Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder may waive such default or Master
Servicer Event of Default; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a default or Master Servicer
Event of Default under clause (vi) of Section 7.1 may be waived only by all of
the Holders of the related Regular Interest Certificates. Upon any such waiver
of a default or Master Servicer Event of Default, such default or Master
Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been
remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or Master Servicer Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to its
satisfaction, the Securities Administrator shall provide notice to the Trustee
thereof and the Trustee shall provide notice to the Certificateholders.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator from liability for its own negligent
action, its own negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of a Master
Servicer Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of
all such Master Servicer Events of Default which may have
occurred with respect to the Trustee and at all times with
respect to the Securities Administrator, the duties and
obligations of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator
shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator shall be liable except for the performance of
such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in
this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, the

conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, respectively, that conform to the
requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator shall be liable for an error of judgment made in
good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of
the Trustee or an officer or officers of the Securities
Administrator, respectively, unless it shall be proved that
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator shall be liable with respect to any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 25% (or such other
percentage set forth in this Agreement) of the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates, relating to
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for

to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case
may be, reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it
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 a Master Servicer Event of Default (which has

likely to be incurred by it in the making of such

closing shall be paid by the Depositor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in the Cap Contracts, the Trustee shall not be required to
make any payments to the counterparty under the Cap Contracts.
(c) 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

examination by federal or state authority. If such corporation or association

resignation, the resigning Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may
be, may, at the expense of the Trust Fund, petition any court of competent

any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall become incapable of
acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any
public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as applicable and appoint a successor trustee or
successor securities administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, in

instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the Trustee (in the
case of the removal of the Securities Administrator), the Securities
Administrator (in the case of the removal of the Trustee) and the Master
Servicer by the Depositor. All costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in
connection with its removal without cause hereunder shall be reimbursed to it by
the Trust Fund.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator and appointment of a successor trustee or successor securities
administrator pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become
effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or successor
securities administrator, as applicable, as provided in Section 8.8.

Person.
Section 8.8 SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE OR SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR.
Any successor trustee or successor securities administrator
appointed as provided in Section 8.7 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Depositor and its predecessor trustee or predecessor securities
administrator an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon
the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee or predecessor securities
administrator shall become effective and such successor trustee or successor
securities administrator without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee or
securities administrator herein. The predecessor trustee or predecessor

things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and

acceptance such successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.6 and the appointment of such
successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall not result in a
downgrading of any Class of Certificates by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a
letter from each Rating Agency.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or
successor securities administrator as provided in this Section, the Depositor
shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of
the related Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate

execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.10 APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE TRUSTEE.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of REMIC I or property securing the same may at the time be located, the
Trustee 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,

REMIC I, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee
may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 8.6 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the
appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under
Section 8.8 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate
trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to a defaulting Master Servicer hereunder),
the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in
which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding
of title to REMIC I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction
of the Trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trust conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Trustee, or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this
Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording
protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the
Trustee.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time,
constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee
or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all
of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee or co-trustee.
Section 8.11 APPOINTMENT OF OFFICE OR AGENCY.
The Securities Administrator shall appoint an office or agency
in the City of Minneapolis located at Xxxxx Xxxxxx xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000, where the Certificates may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange, and presented for final distribution and
where notices and demands to or upon the Securities Administrator in respect of
the Certificates and this Agreement may be served.

constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any
material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party
or which is applicable to it or any of its assets.
(iii) It has the full power and authority to

affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and
(B) general principles of equity, regardless of whether such
enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(v) It is not in violation of, and its
execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance
and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not
constitute a violation of, any law, any order or decree of any
court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand of any

which violation, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, is
likely to affect materially and adversely either the ability
of it to perform its obligations under this Agreement or its
financial condition.

best of its knowledge, threatened against it, which would
prohibit it from entering into this Agreement or, in its good
faith reasonable judgment, is likely to materially and
adversely affect either the ability of it to perform its
obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.

Trustee pursuant to Section 8.5 and of the Master Servicer to pay Compensating
Interest to the Securities Administrator and the Securities Administrator to
make payments in respect of REMIC I Regular Interests or the Classes of
Certificates as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment to the
Certificateholders and the deposit of all amounts held by or on behalf of the
Trustee and required hereunder to be so paid or deposited on the Distribution

the Master Servicer (as defined below) of all Loans and each REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any

the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador
of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof and
(b) the Last Scheduled Distribution Date. The purchase by the Master Servicer of
all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I shall be at a
price (the "Termination Price") equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (A) the
aggregate Purchase Price of all the Mortgage Loans included in REMIC I, plus the
appraised value of each REO Property, if any, included in REMIC I, such
appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Master
Servicer and the Trustee in their reasonable discretion and (B) the aggregate
fair market value of all of the assets of REMIC I (as determined by the Master
Servicer and the Trustee, as of the close of business on the third Business Day
next preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished
to Certificateholders pursuant to the third paragraph of this Section 9.1) plus
(ii) any amounts due the Interim Servicers, the Servicers and the Master
Servicer in respect of unpaid Servicing Fees, Master Servicing Compensation and
outstanding Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances.
(b) The Master Servicer shall have the right to
purchase all of the Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to
clause (i) of the preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in
the month immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates
will be retired; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Master Servicer may elect to
purchase all of the Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to
clause (i) above only if the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loans
and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election
is less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the
Loans as of the Cut-Off Date.
(c) Notice of the liquidation of the Certificates
shall be given promptly by the Securities Administrator by letter to the
Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection
with the purchase of the Loans and each REO Property by the Master Servicer, not
earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next
preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates or (b)
otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the
Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution
Date upon which the Trust Fund will terminate and the final payment in respect
of REMIC I Regular Interests or the Certificates will be made upon presentation
and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Securities
Administrator therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment,
(iii) that no interest shall accrue in respect of REMIC I Regular Interests or
Certificates from and after the Interest Accrual Period relating to the final
Distribution Date therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to

presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Securities
Administrator. In the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase
of all of the Loans and each REO Property remaining in the REMIC I by the Master
Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for
deposit in the Distribution Account not later than the last Business Day of the
month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates an
amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described Termination
Price. The Securities Administrator shall remit (a) to the Master Servicer from
such funds deposited in the Distribution Account (i) any amounts which the
Master Servicer notifies it in writing that the Master Servicer would be
permitted to withdraw and retain from the Distribution Account pursuant to
Section 3.24 and (ii) any other amounts otherwise payable by the Securities
Administrator to the Master Servicer from amounts on deposit in the Distribution
Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and notified by the Master
Servicer in writing and (b) to the Servicers, any amounts reimbursable to the
Servicers pursuant to the Servicing Agreements, in each case prior to making any
final distributions pursuant to Section 9.1(d) below. Upon certification to the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator by a Servicing Officer of the making of
such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release to the Master Servicer
the Mortgage Files for the remaining Loans, and the Trustee shall execute all
assignments, endorsements and other instruments necessary to effectuate such
transfer in each case without recourse, representation or warranty.
(d) Upon presentation of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator
shall distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its
Certificates the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 4.1 in respect of the Certificates so presented and
surrendered. Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates
being retired on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or
Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held
in trust and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or
Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this
Section 9.1 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Securities Administrator shall mail
a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender
their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution
with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities
Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to the
remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of
contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in
the trust funds. If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator
shall pay to the Depositor all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering
Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest
shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust
by the Securities Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder's failure
to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with
this Section 9.1. Any such amounts held in trust by the Securities Administrator
shall be held in an Eligible Account and the Securities Administrator may direct
any depository institution maintaining such account to invest the funds in one
or more Eligible Investments. All income and gain realized from the investment
of funds deposited in such accounts held in trust by the Securities
Administrator shall be for the benefit of the Securities Administrator;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Securities Administrator shall deposit in such
account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such
Eligible Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon the
realization of such loss.
Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder
in respect of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.
Section 9.2 ADDITIONAL TERMINATION REQUIREMENTS.

borne by the Securities Administrator without any right of reimbursement
therefor.
(e) The Securities Administrator shall perform on
behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the
responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other
compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local

necessary to create or maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions, (ii) shall not take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any
action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the
REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (A) endanger
the status of each REMIC as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax
upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited
transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on
contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such
event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless such action or inaction is permitted
under this Agreement or the Trustee and the Securities Administrator have
received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to them (at the expense of the party
seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator) to the effect that the contemplated action will not,
with respect to any REMIC, endanger such status or result in the imposition of
such a tax, nor (iii) shall the Securities Administrator take or fail to take
any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee has
advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action; provided
that the Securities Administrator may conclusively rely on such Opinion of
Counsel and shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in
accordance with such Opinion of Counsel. In addition, prior to taking any action
with respect to any REMIC or the respective assets of each, or causing any REMIC
to take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement,
the Securities Administrator shall consult with the Trustee or its designee, in
writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event
to occur with respect to any REMIC, and the Securities Administrator shall not
take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the
Trustee has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The
Trustee may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of
same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by
this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee.
(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 the "net income from foreclosure property" of such
REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any
such 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 Trustee pursuant
to Section 10.3 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by
the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the
Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, if such tax arises out
of or results from a breach by the Securities Administrator of any of its
obligations under this Article X, (iii) to the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 10.3 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the
Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or under this
Article X, or (iv) against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and
shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.
(h) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator
shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect
to each REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.
(i) Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not
accept any contributions of assets to any REMIC other than in connection with
any Substitute Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.3 unless it shall
have received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to it to the effect that the
inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause the related REMIC to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or
subject such REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable
provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(j) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator shall knowingly enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC will
receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit any 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) The Securities Administrator shall apply for an
employer identification number with the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4
or other comparable method for each REMIC. In connection with the foregoing, the

received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the
party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or
contribution but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) that such sale,
disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect
adversely the status of any REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any REMIC to be
subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the
REMIC Provisions.
Section 10.3 INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Trustee agrees to be liable for any taxes and
costs incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or
the Master Servicer including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees

Administrator set forth in this Agreement.
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 11.1 AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended from
time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator
and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, (a) to
cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be
inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions
with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, (b) to
modify, eliminate or add to any provisions to such extent as shall be necessary
to maintain the qualification of the Trust Fund as two REMICs at all times that
any Certificates are outstanding, provided, that such action shall not, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed and delivered to the Trustee,
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder.
No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto, and no
Opinion of Counsel shall be required to address the effect of any such amendment
on any such consenting Certificateholder.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee
with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not
less than 66-2/3% of the Trust Fund for the purpose of adding any provisions or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall (a) reduce in any manner the amount of, or
delay the timing of, payments received on Loans which are required to be
distributed in respect of any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of
such Certificate; (b) adversely affect in any material respect the interest of
the Holders of the Senior Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) in
a manner other than as described in (a) above without the consent of the Holders
of such Senior Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) aggregating
not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Percentage Interest evidenced by all
Senior Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates); (c) adversely affect
in any material respect the interest of the Holders of the Subordinate
Certificates in a manner other than as described in clause (a) above without the
consent of the Holders of Subordinate Certificates aggregating not less than
66-2/3% of the aggregate Percentage Interest evidenced by all Subordinate
Certificates; (d) adversely affect in any material respect the interest of the
Class R Certificateholder without the consent of the Holder of the Class R

the Master Servicer or successor Master Servicer under this Agreement without
the prior written consent of such party; or (f) reduce the aforesaid percentage
of the Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any such
amendments without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates then
outstanding; provided, that for the purposes of this Agreement, the Holder of
the Class R Certificate shall have no right to vote at all times that any Senior
Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates), or Subordinate Certificates
are outstanding if such amendment relates to the modification, elimination or
addition of any provision necessary to maintain the qualification of the Trust
Fund as three REMICs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any
amendment to this Agreement required in connection with the compliance with or
the clarification of any reporting obligations described in Section 3.18 hereof
shall not require the consent of any Certificateholder or any Opinion of Counsel
or Rating Agency confirmation.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall
have first received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to it to the effect that
such amendment will not cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III of the Trust
Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any REMIC Regular Interests
or Regular Interest Certificates are outstanding.
As soon as practicable after the execution of any such
amendment, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of
such amendment to each Certificateholder and Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the
Certificateholders under this Section 11.1 to approve the particular form of any
proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to
such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel
addressed to it stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or
permitted by this Agreement. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under this Agreement.
Section 11.2 RECORDATION OF AGREEMENT; COUNTERPARTS. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement (or an abstract hereof, if
acceptable by the applicable recording office) is subject to recordation in all
appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or
other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to
the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office
or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Depositor at the expense of
the Certificateholders, but only after the Depositor has delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and
beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this
Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be
executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which
counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 11.3 LIMITATION ON RIGHTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS. The

Section 11.8 ARTICLE AND SECTION REFERENCES.
All article and section references used in this Agreement,
unless otherwise provided, are to articles and sections in this Agreement.
Section 11.9 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust
Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, be, and be construed as, a
sale of the Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of the Loans to secure a
debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Loans are held to
be property of the Depositor, then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties
that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Loans by the Depositor to the
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the related
Certificateholders, to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor and
(b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the
meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from
time to time in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance provided for in
Section 2.1 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the related
Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the Depositor's right,
title and interest in and to the Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of
the 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 Distribution
Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property;
(3) the obligations secured by such security agreement shall be deemed to be all
of the Depositor's obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to
provide to the Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the
Loans and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such
property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding
such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable)
of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law. Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee, on
behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, a
security interest in the Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of
the preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the
performance by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of the
preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the
conveyance pursuant to Section 2.1 to be a true, absolute and unconditional sale
of the Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the
Class I-A [1][3][5] Certificates with respect to a trust fund consisting
primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family fixed rate mortgage
loans (the "Mortgage Loans") secured by one- to four- family residences, units
in planned unit developments and individual condominium units (the "Trust Fund")
sold by DEUTSCHE ALT-A SECURITIES, INC.
THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN
DEUTSCHE ALT-A SECURITIES, INC., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE SECURITIES
ADMINISTRATOR, THE TRUSTEE, ANY SERVICER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE
AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS
ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.
This certifies that [Cede & Co.] is the registered owner of
the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of
Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in certain assets of the
Trust Fund generally consisting of the Mortgage Loans and related assets sold by
Deutsche Alt-A Securities, Inc. (the "Depositor"). This Certificate is primarily
backed by the Group I Loans sold by DB Structured Products, Inc. to the
Depositor. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. will act as master servicer of the Group I
Loans (the "Master Servicer," which term includes any successors thereto under
the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-Off Date specified above
(the "Agreement"), among the Depositor, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master
Servicer and securities administrator (the "Securities Administrator") and HSBC
Bank USA, National Association as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain
of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not
defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to
them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder
of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such
Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be
made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day,
the Business Day immediately following such 25th day (a "Distribution Date"),
commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered on the Business Day immediately
preceding such Distribution Date (the "Record Date"), in an amount equal to the
product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount
required to be distributed to the Holders of Class I-A-[1][3][5] Certificates on
such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the
Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Securities Administrator by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person
entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Securities
Administrator in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date
immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class
I-A-[1][3][5] Certificates or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to
the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall
appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final
distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities
Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation
and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the
Securities Administrator for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.
The Pass-Through Rate with respect to the first Distribution
Date is equal to [[for the Class I-A-1 Certificates] 3.00% per annum and with
respect to any Distribution Date thereafter shall be a rate per annum equal to
the lesser of (a) One-Month LIBOR plus 0.40% per annum and (b) the weighted
average of the Net Mortgage Rates of the Group I Loans for the related
Distribution Date.] [[for the Class I-A-3 Certificates] 2.95% per annum and with
respect to any Distribution Date thereafter shall be a rate per annum equal to
the least of (a) One-Month LIBOR plus 0.35% per annum, (b) the weighted average
of the Net Mortgage Rates of the Group I Loans for the related Distribution Date
and (c) 6.25% per annum, with respect to the first twelve Distribution Dates and
8.50% per annum, with respect to any Distribution Date thereafter.] [[for the
Class I-A-5 Certificates] 3.10% per annum, and as to any Distribution Date
thereafter shall be a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (a) One-Month LIBOR
plus 0.50% per annum and (b) the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates of
the Group I Loans for the related Distribution Date.]
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificate of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing
a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face
hereof.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans and payments received
pursuant to the related Cap Contract, all as more specifically set forth herein
and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at
any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the
aggregate, not less than 66-2/3% Percentage Interests of all Certificates. Any
such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding
on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator
as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment
in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such
Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of
Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them
pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or
other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated
in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement of all the
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The
Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement
to purchase all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the
aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assumes
any responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Securities Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused
this Certificate to be duly executed.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificate of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates"). The
Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership
interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans as more specifically
set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals
from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time
to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such
purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred,
with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at
any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the
aggregate, not less than 66-2/3% Percentage Interests of all Certificates. Any
such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding
on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator
as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment
in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such
Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of
Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them
pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or
other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated
in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement of all the
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The
Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement
to purchase all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the
aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assumes
any responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been

This certifies that [Cede & Co.] is the registered owner of
the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of
Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in certain assets of the

Depositor. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. will act as master servicer of the Group I
Loans (the "Master Servicer," which term includes any successors thereto under
the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the

(the "Agreement"), among the Depositor, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master
Servicer and securities administrator (the "Securities Administrator") and HSBC

of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such
Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be
made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day,

immediately preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs
(the "Record Date"), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed
to the Holders of Class I-A-7 Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to
the Agreement.
All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the
Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Securities Administrator by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person
entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Securities
Administrator in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date
immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class

this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator
of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of
this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities
Administrator for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.
The Pass-Through Rate with respect to the first Distribution
Date is equal to 5.9447% per annum and with respect to any Distribution Date

hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.

charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the
Class II-A-2 Certificates with respect to a trust fund consisting primarily of a
pool of conventional one- to four-family fixed rate mortgage loans (the
"Mortgage Loans") secured by one- to four- family residences, units in planned
unit developments and individual condominium units (the "Trust Fund") sold by
DEUTSCHE ALT-A SECURITIES, INC.
THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN
DEUTSCHE ALT-A SECURITIES, INC., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE SECURITIES
ADMINISTRATOR, THE TRUSTEE, ANY SERVICER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE
AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS
ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.
This certifies that [Cede & Co.] is the registered owner of
the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of
Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in certain assets of the
Trust Fund generally consisting of the Mortgage Loans and related assets sold by
Deutsche Alt-A Securities, Inc. (the "Depositor"). This Certificate is primarily
backed by the Group II Loans sold by DB Structured Products, Inc. to the
Depositor. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. will act as master servicer of the Mortgage
Loans (the "Master Servicer," which term includes any successors thereto under
the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-Off Date specified above
(the "Agreement"), among the Depositor, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master
Servicer and securities administrator (the "Securities Administrator") and HSBC
Bank USA, National Association as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain
of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not
defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to
them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder
of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such
Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be
made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day,
the Business Day immediately following such 25th day (a "Distribution Date"),
commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered on the Business Day immediately
preceding such Distribution Date (the "Record Date"), in an amount equal to the
product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount
required to be distributed to the Holders of Class I-A-2 Certificates on such
Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the
Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Securities Administrator by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person
entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Securities
Administrator in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date
immediately prior to such Distribution Date, or otherwise by check mailed by
first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and
address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the
final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the
Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and only upon
presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed
by the Securities Administrator for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.
The Pass-Through Rate with respect to the first Distribution
Date shall be equal to 2.4592% per annum, and with respect to any Distribution
Date thereafter shall be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of the
weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates of the Group II Loans for the related
Distribution Date over One-Month LIBOR plus 0.30% per annum.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificate of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates"). The
Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership
interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the Agreement.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans as more specifically
set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals
from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time
to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such
purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred,
with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at
any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the
aggregate, not less than 66-2/3% Percentage Interests of all Certificates. Any
such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding
on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator
as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment
in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such
Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of
Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them
pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or
other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated
in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement of all the
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The
Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement
to purchase all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the
aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assumes
any responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Securities Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused
this Certificate to be duly executed.

a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face
hereof.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans as more specifically
set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals
from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time
to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such
purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred,
with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at
any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the
aggregate, not less than 66-2/3% Percentage Interests of all Certificates. Any
such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding
on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator
as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment
in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such
Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
Any transferee of this Certificate shall be deemed to make the
representations set forth in Section 5.2(c) of the Agreement.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of
Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them
pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or
other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated
in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement of all the
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The
Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement
to purchase all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the
aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume
any responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Securities Administrator by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused
this Certificate to be duly executed.

a pool of conventional one- to four-family fixed rate mortgage loans (the
"Mortgage Loans") secured by one- to four- family residences, units in planned
unit developments and individual condominium units (the "Trust Fund") sold by
DEUTSCHE ALT-A SECURITIES, INC.
THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN
DEUTSCHE ALT-A SECURITIES, INC., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE SECURITIES
ADMINISTRATOR, THE TRUSTEE, ANY SERVICER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE
AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS
ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.
This certifies that [Cede & Co.] is the registered owner of
the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of
Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in certain assets of the
Trust Fund generally consisting of the Mortgage Loans and related assets sold by
Deutsche Alt-A Securities, Inc. (the "Depositor"). The Mortgage Loans were sold
by DB Structured Products, Inc. to the Depositor. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. will
act as master servicer of the Mortgage Loans (the "Master Servicer," which term
includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The
Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as
of the Cut-Off Date specified above (the "Agreement"), among the Depositor,
Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer and securities administrator (the
"Securities Administrator") and HSBC Bank USA, National Association as trustee
(the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is
set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used
herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be
made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day,
the Business Day immediately following such 25th day (a "Distribution Date"),
commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last
Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such
Distribution Date occurs (the "Record Date"), in an amount equal to the product
of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required
to be distributed to the Holders of Class B-[1][2] Certificates on such
Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the
Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Securities Administrator by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person
entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Securities
Administrator in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date
immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class
B-[1][2] Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the
address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on

this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator
of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of
this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities
Administrator for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.
The Pass-Through Rate applicable with respect to the first
Distribution Date shall be 5.8888% per annum, and with respect to any

results of subtracting from the aggregate principal balance of each loan group
the current aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the related Senior
Certificates, other than the Class I-A-2, Class I-A-4, Class I-A-6 and Class
II-A-2 Certificates).
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of

certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at
any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the

such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding
on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.

as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment

Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made to any person
unless the Transferee provides a certification pursuant to Section 5.2(c) of the
Agreement.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new

No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of
Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them
pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or
other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated

of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Securities Administrator shall require
receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule
144A or Regulation S under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder
of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder's
prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as

Holder's prospective transferee, substantially in the form attached to the

satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration or
qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Securities
Administrator in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of
the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect
the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion

Administrator is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates
specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or
to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the
transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder
desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify
the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made to any person
unless the Transferee provides a certification pursuant to Section 5.2(c) of the
Agreement.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them
pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or
other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated
in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement of all the
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The
Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement
to purchase all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the
aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume
any responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been

ASSET BACKED PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE
evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the
Class R Certificates with respect to a trust fund consisting primarily of a pool
of conventional one- to four-family fixed rate mortgage loans (the "Mortgage
Loans") secured by one- to four- family residences, units in planned unit
developments and individual condominium units (the "Trust Fund") sold by
DEUTSCHE ALT-A SECURITIES, INC.
THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN
DEUTSCHE ALT-A SECURITIES, INC., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE SECURITIES
ADMINISTRATOR, THE TRUSTEE, ANY SERVICER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE
AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS
ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES.
This certifies that [Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.] is the
registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial
ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in
certain assets of the Trust Fund generally consisting of the Loans and related
assets sold by Deutsche Alt-A Securities, Inc. (the "Depositor"). The Loans were
sold by DB Structured Products, Inc. to the Depositor. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A.
will act as master servicer of the Loans (the "Master Servicer," which term
includes any successors thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The
Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as
of the Cut-Off Date specified above (the "Agreement"), among the Depositor,
Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer and securities administrator (the
"Securities Administrator") and HSBC Bank USA, National Association as trustee
(the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is
set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used
herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be
made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day,
the Business Day immediately following such 25th day (a "Distribution Date"),
commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last
Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such
Distribution Date occurs (the "Record Date"), in an amount equal to the product
of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required
to be distributed to the Holders of Class R Certificates on such Distribution
Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the
Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Securities Administrator by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person
entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Securities
Administrator in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date
immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class
R Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address
of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the
Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this
Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the
pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this
Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator
for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificate of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing
a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face
hereof.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically
set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals
from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time
to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such
purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred,
with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at
any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the
aggregate, not less than 66-2/3% Percentage Interest of all Certificates. Any
such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding
on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator
as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment
in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such
Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed
to be bound by the restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that
(i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate
must be a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of
any Ownership Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery
to the Securities Administrator of, among other things, an affidavit to the
effect that it is a United States Person and Permitted Transferee, (iii) any
attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in
violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no
rights in the purported transferee, and (iv) if any person other than a United
States Person and a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in this
Certificate in violation of such restrictions, then the Depositor will have the
right, in its sole discretion and without notice to the Holder of this
Certificate, to sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Depositor,
which purchaser may be the Depositor, or any affiliate of the Depositor, on such
terms and conditions as the Depositor may choose.
No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.
Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the
Securities Administrator (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is
any Person other than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a
broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a
certificate that acknowledges that (A) the Class R Certificates have been
designated as representing the beneficial ownership of the residual interests in
each REMIC, (B) it will include in its income a PRO RATA share of the net income
of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an "excess inclusion," as defined
in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by other losses or
benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the financial means
to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those relating to holding the
Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate
Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate to a
Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman)
of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be deemed to be of no
legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be a
Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to, the receipt of
distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof,
shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the
Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of
the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person
other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause any portion
of the Trust Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a
tax upon any REMIC.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of
Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them
pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or
other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated
in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement of all the
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The
Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement
to purchase all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the
aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume
any responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Securities Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused
this Certificate to be duly executed.

However, such securities were not included if the Transferee is a
majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee
is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
5. The Transferee acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule
144A and understands that the Transferor and other parties related to the
Certificates are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein
because one or more sales to the Transferee may be in reliance on Rule 144A.
___ ___ Will the Transferee be purchasing the Certificates
Yes No only for the Transferee's own account?
6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no", the
Transferee agrees that, in connection with any purchase of securities sold to
the Transferee for the account of a third party (including any separate account)
in reliance on Rule 144A, the Transferee will only purchase for the account of a
third party that at the time is a "qualified institutional buyer" within the
meaning of Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee agrees that the Transferee
will not purchase securities for a third party unless the Transferee has
obtained a current representation letter from such third party or taken other
appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party
independently meets the definition of "qualified institutional buyer" set forth
in Rule 144A.
7. The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which
this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions
herein. Until such notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the
Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the
date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and
loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such
parties updated annual financial statements promptly after they become
available.
