PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed

Lower-Tier REMIC A will consist of all of the assets constituting the Trust Fund
relating to the Group 1 Mortgage Loans (other than any Class P Prepayment
Charges, the Lower-Tier REMIC A Regular Interests, the Middle-Tier REMIC Regular
Interests) and proceeds thereof in the Distribution Account and will be
evidenced by the Lower-Tier REMIC A Regular Interests (which will be
uncertificated and will represent the "regular interests" in Lower-Tier REMIC A)
and the Class A-LRA Interest as the single "residual interest" in Lower-Tier
REMIC A. The Trustee will hold the Lower-Tier REMIC A Regular Interests.
Lower-Tier REMIC B will consist of all of the assets constituting
the Trust Fund (other than those assets relating to the Group 1 Mortgage Loans,
any Class P Prepayment Charges, the Lower-Tier REMIC B Regular Interests,
Middle-Tier REMIC Regular Interests) and proceeds thereof in the Distribution
Account, and will be evidenced by the Lower-Tier REMIC B Regular Interests
(which will be uncertificated and will represent the "regular interests" in
Lower-Tier REMIC B) and the Class A-LRB Interest as the single "residual
interest" in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Trustee will hold the Lower-Tier REMIC
Regular Interests.
The Middle-Tier REMIC will consist of the Lower-Tier REMIC A Regular
Interests, the Lower-Tier REMIC B Regular Interests and all proceeds thereof in
the Distribution Account and will be evidenced by the Middle-Tier REMIC Regular
Interests (which will be uncertificated and will represent the "regular

"residual interest" in the Middle-Tier REMIC. The Trustee shall hold the
Middle-Tier REMIC Regular Interests.
The Upper-Tier REMIC will consist of the Middle-Tier REMIC Regular
Interests and all proceeds thereof in the Distribution Account and will be
evidenced by the Regular Certificates (which will represent the "regular
interests" in the Upper-Tier REMIC) and the Class A-UR Interest as the single
"residual interest" of the Upper-Tier REMIC. The "latest possible maturity date"
for federal income tax purposes of all interests created hereby will be the
Latest Possible Maturity Date. The Class A-LR Certificates will represent the
Class A-LRA Interest and the Class A-LRB Interest. The Class A-UR Certificates
will represent the Class A-MR Interest and the Class A-UR Interest. In addition,
the Class P Certificates represent beneficial ownership of the Class P
Prepayment Charges, the Class 1-A-1 and Class 1-A-2 Certificates represent (in
addition to representing beneficial ownership of the related regular interest in
the Upper-Tier REMIC) the right to receive Group 1 Basis Risk Carry Forward

(1) The Pass-Through Rate for the Class 1-A-1 Certificates for each
Distribution Date will be a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i)
One-Month LIBOR, plus 0.25% (subject to an increase to 0.50% after the
first Distribution Date on which the Optional Termination with respect to
the Group 1 Mortgage Loans may be exercised), and (ii) the weighted
average of the Net Mortgage Rates on the Group 1 Mortgage Loans, weighted
on the basis of the respective Scheduled Principal Balances, as of the
first day of the related Interest Accrual Period (after taking into
account scheduled payments of principal on that date). In addition, the
Holders of Class 1-A-1 Certificates will be entitled to receive the Group
1 Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts, if any, distributable on the Class
1-A-X Certificates, to the extent that the Pass-Through Rate for the Class
1-A-1 Certificates is limited by clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.
The Class 1-A-1 Certificates will represent not only the ownership of a
REMIC regular interest but also the right to receive payments from the
Group 1 Basis Risk Account in respect of any Group 1 Basis Risk Carry
Forward Amounts. For federal income tax purposes, a Class 1-A-1
Certificateholder's right to receive payments from the Group 1 Basis Risk
Account shall be treated as payments made pursuant to an interest rate cap
contract written by the Class 1-A-X Certificateholders.
(2) The Pass-Through Rate for the Class 1-A-2 Certificates for each
Distribution Date will be a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i)
One-Month LIBOR, plus 0.31% (subject to an increase to 0.62% after the
first Distribution Date on which the Optional Termination with respect to
the Group 1 Mortgage Loans may be exercised), and (ii) the weighted
average of the Net Mortgage Rates on the Group 1 Mortgage Loans, weighted
on the basis of the respective Scheduled Principal Balances, as of the
first day of the related Interest Accrual Period (after taking into
account scheduled payments of principal on that date). In addition, the
Holders of Class 1-A-2 Certificates will be entitled to receive the Group
1 Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts, if any, distributable on the Class
1-A-X Certificates, to the extent that the Pass-Through Rate for the Class
1-A-2 Certificates is limited by clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.
The Class 1-A-2 Certificates will represent not only the ownership of a
REMIC regular interest but also the right to receive payments from the
Group 1 Basis Risk Account in respect of any Group 1 Basis Risk Carry
Forward Amounts. For federal income tax purposes, a Class 1-A-2
Certificateholder's right to receive payments from the Group 1 Basis Risk
Account shall be treated as payments made pursuant to an interest rate cap
contract written by the Class 1-A-X Certificateholders.
(3) The Class 1-A-X Certificates are Interest-Only Certificates and will not
be entitled to distributions in respect of principal and will bear
interest on their Notional Amount.

Distribution Date will be a per annum rate equal to 2.70294% and (ii) for
each Distribution Date following the first Distribution Date will be a per
annum rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates on the
Group 1 Mortgage Loans, weighted on the basis of the respective Scheduled
Principal Balances of the Group 1 Mortgage Loans, as of the first day of
the related Interest Accrual Period (after taking into account scheduled
payments of principal on that date) minus the weighted average of the
Class 1-A-1 Pass-Through Rate and Class 1-A-2 Pass-Through Rate for that
Distribution Date (weighted on the basis of the Certificate Principal
Balances of the Class 1-A-1 and Class 1-A-2 Certificates immediately prior
to that Distribution Date). For federal income tax purposes, the regular
interest represented by the Class 1-A-X Certificates shall be entitled to
Accrued Certificate Interest on the Class 1-A-X Certificates prior to any
reduction for any Group 1 Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts. The Class
1-A-X Certificates also will represent beneficial ownership of the Group 1
Basis Risk Account, subject to the obligation to make payments of Group 1
Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts. For federal income tax purposes, a Class
1-A-X Certificateholder's obligation to make such payments shall be
treated as payments made pursuant to an interest rate cap contract written
by the Class 1-A-X Certificateholders in favor of the Class 1-A-1 and
Class 1-A-2 Certificates. Such rights of the Class 1-A-X
Certificateholders and the Class 1-A-1 and Class 1-A-2 Certificateholders
shall be treated as held in a portion of the Trust Fund that is treated as
a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code.
(5) The Pass-Through Rate for the Class A-LR and Class A-UR Certificates for
each Distribution Date will be a per annum rate equal to the weighted

foregoing assignments, the Transferor has caused each Servicer to enter into the
related Assignment Agreement.
(b) (i) In connection with the transfer and assignment set forth in
clause (a) above, the Depositor has delivered or caused to be delivered to the
Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders

is not a Cooperative Loan so assigned:
(A) the original Mortgage Note endorsed by manual or facsimile
signature in blank in the following form: "Pay to the order of
___________ without recourse," with all intervening endorsements
showing a complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the
Person endorsing the Mortgage Note (each such endorsement being

endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that
Mortgage Note); or, with respect to any Lost Mortgage Note, a lost
note affidavit from the related originator or the Transferor stating

Holders of the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2005-3"
together with, except as provided below, all interim recorded
assignments of such mortgage (each such assignment, when duly and
validly completed, to be in recordable form and sufficient to effect
the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof, under the
Mortgage to which the assignment relates); provided that, if the
related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable public
recording office, such assignment of the Mortgage may exclude the
information to be provided by the recording office;
(D) the original or copies of each assumption, modification,
written assurance or substitution agreement, if any; and
(E) except as provided below, the original or duplicate
original lender's title policy and all riders thereto.
(ii) In connection with the transfer and assignment set forth in
clause (a) above, the Depositor has delivered or caused to be delivered to

modifications or amendment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Mortgage has been recorded in
the name of Mortgage Electronic Registration System, Inc. ("MERS") or its
designee, no assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee will be required to
be prepared or delivered and instead, the Master Servicer shall enforce the
obligations of the applicable Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to
cause the Trustee to be shown as the owner of the related Mortgage Loan on the
records of MERS for the purpose of the system of recording transfers of
beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS.
If in connection with any Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver
(a) the original recorded Mortgage, (b) all interim recorded assignments or (c)
the lender's title policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying the
requirements of clause (b)(i)(B), (b)(i)(C) or (b)(i)(E) above, respectively,
concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because such document or
documents have not been returned from the applicable public recording office in
the case of clause (b)(i)(B) or (b)(i)(C) above, or because the title policy has
not been delivered to either the Custodian or the Depositor by the applicable
title insurer in the case of clause (b)(i)(E) above, the Depositor shall
promptly deliver to the Custodian, in the case of clause (b)(i)(B) or (b)(i)(C)
above, such original Mortgage or such interim assignment, as the case may be,
with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the
public recording office, or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the
relevant recording office, but in no event shall any such delivery of the
original Mortgage and each such interim assignment or a copy thereof, certified,
if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, be made later than one year
following the Closing Date, or, in the case of clause (b)(i)(E) above, no later
than 120 days following the Closing Date; provided, however, in the event the
Depositor is unable to deliver by such date each Mortgage and each such interim
assignment by reason of the fact that any such documents have not been returned
by the appropriate recording office, or, in the case of each such interim
assignment, because the related Mortgage has not been returned by the
appropriate recording office, the Depositor shall deliver such documents to the
Custodian as promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within
720 days following the Closing Date. The Depositor shall forward or cause to be
forwarded to the Custodian (a) from time to time additional original documents
evidencing an assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other
documents required to be delivered by the Depositor to the Custodian. In the
event that the original Mortgage is not delivered and in connection with the
payment in full of the related Mortgage Loan and the public recording office
requires the presentation of a "lost instruments affidavit and indemnity" or any
equivalent document, because only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with
the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance, the Custodian shall execute and
deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such a document to the public
recording office. In the case where a public recording office retains the
original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after
recordation in a public recording office, the Transferor shall deliver to the
Custodian a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording office to
be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage.
As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and
assignment, set forth in clause (a) above and in any event, within ninety (90)
days thereafter, the Custodian shall affix the Trustee's name to each assignment
of Mortgage, as the assignee thereof, and, subject to Section 2.02, the Master
Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the related Servicer pursuant to the
related Servicing Agreement to (i) cause such assignment to be in proper form
for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records and
(ii) cause to be delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for
real property records the assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except
that, with respect to any assignments of Mortgage as to which the related
Servicer has not received the information required to prepare such assignment in
recordable form, the related Servicer's obligation to do so and to deliver the
same for such recording shall be as soon as practicable after receipt of such
information and in any event within ninety (90) days after receipt thereof and
except that the related Servicer need not cause to be recorded any assignment
which relates to a Mortgage Loan (a) in any state where, in an Opinion of
Counsel addressed to the Trustee, such recording is not required to protect the
Trustee's interests in the Mortgage Loan against the claim of any subsequent
transferee or any successor to or creditor of the Depositor or the Transferor,
(b) in any state where recordation is not required by either Rating Agency to
obtain the initial ratings on the Certificates set forth in the Prospectus
Supplement or (c) with respect to any Mortgage which has been recorded in the
name of MERS, or its designee. As for the date hereof, recordation is not
required in any state by either Rating Agency to obtain the initial rating on
the Certificates (upon which statement the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Custodian may conclusively rely).
In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of
the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to
the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, will deposit in the Collection Account
the portion of such payment that is required to be deposited in the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof.
(c) The Depositor does hereby establish, pursuant to the further
provisions of this Agreement and the laws of the State of New York, an express
trust (the "Trust") to be known, for convenience, as "MASTR Adjustable Rate
Mortgages Trust 2005-3" and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., is hereby appointed as
Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 2.02 Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans. The
Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, acknowledges receipt of the documents
identified in the Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F,
and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents
delivered to it constituting the related Mortgage Files, and the Custodian and
the Trustee together declare that it holds or will hold such other assets as are
included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders. The Custodian acknowledges that it will
maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes held by it in the State of Minnesota,
unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies and the Trustee.
The Custodian agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to
the Depositor and the Trustee an Initial Certification in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit F. Based on its review and examination, and only as to the
documents identified in such Initial Certification, the Custodian acknowledges,
subject to any applicable exceptions noted on Exhibit F that such documents
appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan. The Custodian
shall not be under any duty or obligation to (i) inspect, review or examine said
documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same
are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they
have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other
than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) determine whether the
Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in Section
2.01(b)(i)(D) with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a Cooperative Loan
and Section 2.01(b)(ii)(H) with respect to each Cooperative Loan, unless the
Mortgage Loan Schedule indicates that such documents are applicable.
Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian shall
deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Transferor a Final Certification
in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon. The Custodian shall make available, upon request of any
Certificateholder, a copy of any exceptions noted on the Initial Certification
or Final Certification. The Custodian shall make available, upon request of the
Trustee, the identity of the originator for any Mortgage Loan with a material
exception.
If, in the course of such review, the Custodian finds any document
constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of
Section 2.01, the Custodian shall list such as an exception in the Final
Certification; provided, however, that the Custodian shall not make any
determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all
right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee
thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note, (ii) any assignment is in recordable form
or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee
thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates or (iii) the Mortgage
File should include any of the documents specified in Section 2.01(b)(i)(D) with
respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a Cooperative Loan and Section
2.01(b)(ii)(H) with respect to each Cooperative Loan, unless the Mortgage Loan
Schedule indicates that such documents are applicable.
Upon receiving the Final Certification from the Custodian, the
Trustee shall notify the Transferor of any document defects listed as exceptions
in each such Final Certification. The Trustee shall enforce the applicable
duties of the Transferor pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.02 to correct
and cure such document defects, and if the Transferor fails to correct or cure
the defect within ninety (90) days of the earlier of its discovery or its
receipt of written notice of any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File
that does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, and such defect materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related
Mortgage Loan, the Transferor shall repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the
Purchase Price and the Trustee shall enforce the Transferor's obligations
hereunder to purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price. Any such
purchase of a Mortgage Loan shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the
Custodian of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit L. The
Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be paid by the Transferor to the
Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account on or prior to the
Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month
following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit, the Master
Servicer shall instruct the Custodian to release, and the Custodian shall
release, the related Mortgage File to the Transferor and the Trustee shall
execute and deliver at the Transferor's written request such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by the Transferor, in each case without
recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in the
Transferor, or a designee, the Trustee's interest in any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto. The Transferor shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and
the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or the
Trustee in respect of enforcing such repurchase by the Transferor.
The Custodian shall retain possession and custody of each related
Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein. Pursuant to the terms of the related Servicing Agreement, the
Master Servicer shall cause each of the related Servicers to promptly deliver to
the Custodian who shall thereupon promptly deposit within each Mortgage File,
upon the execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or
instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into the possession of the
related Servicers from time to time.
It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Transferor,
hereunder, to purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the requirements of
Section 2.01 above or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan an Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan shall constitute the sole remedies respecting such
defect available to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator,
the Depositor and any Certificateholder.
Section 2.03 Remedies for Breaches of Representations and
Warranties. The Transferor hereby makes the representations and warranties set
forth in Schedule II hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the
Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein,
as of the Cut-off Date.
Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a
representation or warranty made by the Transferor pursuant to this Section 2.03
that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in
any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice
thereof to the other parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a breach which
causes a Mortgage Loan not to constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, will be deemed automatically to
materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in such
Mortgage Loan. Upon receiving notice of a breach, the Trustee shall in turn
notify the Transferor of such breach. The Trustee shall enforce the obligations
of the Transferor in accordance with this Section 2.03 to correct or cure any
such breach of a representation or warranty made herein, and if the Transferor
fails to correct or cure the defect within such period, and such defect
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the
related Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce the Transferor's obligations
hereunder to (i) purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price or (ii)
substitute for the related Mortgage Loan an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan.
In each case, such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") will be removed
from the Trust Fund.
The Transferor hereby covenants that within ninety (90) days of the
earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a
breach of any representation or warranty made pursuant to this Section 2.03
which materially and adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholders in
any Mortgage Loan it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if
such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such ninety (90) day period expires
prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Deleted
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place an Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans into the Trust Fund, in the manner and subject
to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected
Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth
below. The Transferor shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and the
Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or the
Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach by the Transferor.
With respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the
Transferor shall deliver to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related
assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are
required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage
assigned as required by Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to be made on
any day in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month.
With respect to substitutions made by the Transferor, Scheduled
Payments due with respect to Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of
substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the
Transferor on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly
payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the
Transferor shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such
Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Custodian shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for
the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans and the Custodian shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the
Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the
Transferor shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Eligible Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and
warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03 with respect to such Mortgage
Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Collection Account of
the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution
as described in the following paragraph, the Custodian shall release the
Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders relating to such
Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Transferor and shall execute and deliver or cause
the Trustee to execute and deliver at the Transferor's direction such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Transferor, without
recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest title in the
Transferor, as applicable, or its designee, the Trustee's interest in any
Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.
For any month in which the Transferor substitutes one or more
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the
Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate
principal balance of all such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date
of substitution is less than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of all
such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of the scheduled principal
portion of the monthly payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of
such shortage (the "Substitution Adjustment Amount") plus an amount equal to the
aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage
Loans shall be remitted by the Transferor to the Master Servicer, and the Master
Servicer shall deposit such amounts received from the Transferor into the
Collection Account on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during which the
related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.
In the event that the Transferor shall have repurchased a Mortgage
Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.07 on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for
the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the
Transferor became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage
Loan and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price and receipt of a Request for
Release in the form of Exhibit L hereto, the Custodian shall release the related
Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to the Transferor,
and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at the Transferor's direction such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Transferor, in each case
without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to transfer
title from the Trustee. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under
this Agreement of the Transferor to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage
Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the
sole remedies against the Transferor respecting such matters available to
Certificateholders, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator
or the Trustee on their behalf.
The provisions of this Section 2.03 shall survive the conveyance and
assignment of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee and the delivery of the
respective Mortgage Files to the Custodian for the benefit of the Trustee and
the Certificateholders.
Section 2.04 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to
the Mortgage Loans. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee,
the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage
Loan as of the date hereof or such other date set forth herein that as of the
Closing Date, and following the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to it by the
Transferor, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage
Notes were subject to no offsets, liens, defenses or counterclaims.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to
the Custodian. Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master
Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee of a breach of any of the
foregoing representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04
(referred to herein as a "breach"), which breach materially and adversely
affects the interest of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties hereto and to each
Rating Agency.

Interests and the Lower-Tier REMIC B Regular Interests, the Middle-Tier REMIC
Regular Interests, the Upper-Tier REMIC Regular Interests represented by the
Class 1-A-1, Class 1-A-2 and Class 1-A-X Certificates, respectively, and to

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND MASTER
SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01 Master Servicing of Mortgage Loans. For and on behalf
of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and
oversee the obligation of the Servicers to service and administer their
respective Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the applicable
Servicing Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any and all
things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master
servicing and administration. With respect to WMMSC, any WMMSC Mortgage Loans
and any WMMSC Servicing Agreement, the obligations of the Master Servicer
imposed in the preceding sentence shall be limited to: (i) collecting the
monthly report provided by WMMSC under such WMMSC Servicing Agreement, (ii)
enforcing WMMSC's obligation to remit to the Trust Administrator hereunder,
(iii) receiving the annual compliance statements from WMMSC and (iv) complying
with the provisions of Section 3.02(b) hereof and such WMMSC Servicing Agreement
with respect to the termination of WMMSC. In performing its obligations
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with this
Agreement, subject to the prior sentence, and with customary and usual standards
of practice of prudent mortgage loan master servicers. Furthermore, the Master
Servicer shall oversee and consult with each Servicer as necessary from time to
time to carry out the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder, shall receive,
review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the
Master Servicer by each Servicer (provided, however, the Master Servicer shall
have no obligation to review or evaluate any reports, information and other data
provided by WMMSC with respect to any WMMSC Mortgage Loans) and shall cause each
Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be
performed or observed by such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement.
The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor each Servicer's
servicing activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the
results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous
sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the
Servicers' and Master Servicer's records, and based on such reconciled and
corrected information, prepare the statements specified in Section 4.04 and any
other information and statements required hereunder; provided, however, that the
Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to perform the duties outlined in
this sentence with respect to WMMSC or any WMMSC Mortgage Loans other than
collecting the mortgage loan information provided to the Master Servicer by
WMMSC to enable the Master Servicer to prepare the statement required under
Section 4.04. Other than with respect to WMMSC and any WMMSC Mortgage Loans, the
Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with
the actual remittances of the Servicers to the Collection Account pursuant to
the applicable Servicing Agreements.
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph and to
the extent the related Servicer does not make such advance, the Master Servicer
shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of
effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties,
which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related
collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.07, and further as
provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if any, in
effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of
calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the
Scheduled Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that
the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
Section 3.02 Monitoring of Servicers. (a) The Master Servicer shall
be responsible for reporting to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the
Depositor the compliance by each Servicer with its duties under the related
Servicing Agreement. In the review of each Servicer's activities, the Master
Servicer may rely upon an officer's certificate of the Servicer with regard to
such Servicer's compliance with the terms of its Servicing Agreement. In the
event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that a Servicer
should be terminated in accordance with its Servicing Agreement, or that a
notice should be sent pursuant to such Servicing Agreement with respect to the
occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such
termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such
notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate.
(b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each
Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a
Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related
Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights
and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and act as successor Servicer of the
related Mortgage Loans or cause the Trustee to enter into 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 Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such
enforcement at its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be
required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the
Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and
expenses in pursuing such action.
(c) To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer
related to any termination of 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 Servicer as a result of an event of default
by 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
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully
and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Collection
Account.
(d) The Master Servicer shall require each Servicer to comply with
the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the related
Servicing Agreement.
(e) If the Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not assume
liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that
it replaces.
(f) If a Servicer fails to make its required payment of Compensating
Interest on any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer will be required to make
such payment of Compensating Interest to the same extent that such Servicer was
required to make such payment of Compensating Interest.
(g) To the extent a Servicer requests the consent of the Trust or
the Master Servicer with respect to any servicing-related matter for which the
applicable Servicer is required to seek consent under the applicable Servicing
Agreement or Assignment Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly or within
the time frame specified in such Servicing Agreement, if any, evaluate such
request for consent in the best interest of the Trust and the
Certificateholders, and grant or withhold such consent accordingly.
Section 3.03 [Reserved].
Section 3.04 Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of
the Master Servicer. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the
obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to,
perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master
Servicer hereunder and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to
exercise the related rights of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that the
Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by
virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. Neither the Trustee
nor the Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or
failure to act by the Master Servicer or any Servicer nor shall the Trustee or
the Depositor be obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer
hereunder or any Servicer under any Servicing Agreement or otherwise.
Section 3.05 Trustee to Act as Master Servicer. In the event that
the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer
hereunder (including by reason of a Master Servicer Event of Termination), the
Trustee or its successor shall in accordance with Section 7.02 thereupon assume
all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder arising
thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the
predecessor Master Servicer or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master
Servicer hereunder), (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from
doing so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or
substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not limited to,
repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03
hereof, (iv) responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
2.03 hereof or (v) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.08 hereunder). Any such assumption shall
be subject to Section 7.02 hereof. If the Master Servicer shall for any reason
no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Master Servicer
Event of Termination), the Trustee or its successor may, but shall not be
obligated to, succeed to any rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under
each subservicing agreement.
The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the
expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and
records relating to each subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing
agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an
accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts
to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of each subservicing agreement or
substitute subservicing agreement to the assuming party.
The Trustee or successor master servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed from the Master Servicer for all costs associated with the transfer
of master servicing from the Master Servicer, including, without limitation, any
costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all master servicing
data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such master servicing
data as may be required by the Trustee or successor master servicer to correct
any errors or insufficiencies in the master servicing data or otherwise to
enable the Trustee or successor master servicer to master service the Mortgage
Loans properly and effectively.
If the Master Servicer does not pay such reimbursement within thirty
(30) days of its receipt of an invoice therefor, such reimbursement shall be an
expense of the Trust and the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw such
reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to
Section 3.10(b)(iii); provided that the Master Servicer shall reimburse the
Trust for any such expense incurred by the Trust.
Section 3.06 Protected Accounts. (a) The Master Servicer shall
enforce the obligation of each Servicer to establish and maintain a Protected
Account in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, with records to
be kept with respect thereto on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, into
which accounts shall be deposited within 48 hours (or as of such other time
specified in the related Servicing Agreement) of receipt all collections of
principal and interest on any Mortgage Loan or amounts received with respect to
any REO Property, including Principal Prepayments, Insurance Proceeds,
Liquidation Proceeds, and advances made from the Servicer's own funds (less
servicing compensation as permitted by the applicable Servicing Agreement in the
case of any Servicer) and all other amounts to be deposited in the Protected
Account. The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to make withdrawals from and
deposits to the related Protected Account for purposes required or permitted by
this Agreement.
(b) In accordance with the terms of the applicable Servicing
Agreement, amounts on deposit in a Protected Account are required to be invested
by the applicable Servicer in Permitted Investments. The income earned from
investments made pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall be paid to the related
Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, and the risk of loss of
moneys required to be distributed to the Certificateholders resulting from such
investments shall be borne by and be the risk of the related Servicer. The
related Servicer (to the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement) shall
deposit the amount of any such loss in the Protected Account within two Business
Days of receipt of notification of such loss but not later than the second
Business Day prior to the Distribution Date on which the moneys so invested are
required to be distributed to the Certificateholders.
Section 3.07 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Collection
Account; Distribution Account; Group 1 Basis Risk Account. (a) The Master
Servicer shall enforce the obligation of the Servicers to collect all payments
called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans to the extent
such procedures shall be consistent with the applicable Servicing Agreement and
the terms and provisions of any related Required Insurance Policy.
(b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Collection
Account, which may be deemed to be a sub account of the Distribution Account,
into which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited within two
Business Days of receipt, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the
following payments and collections remitted by the Servicers, or received by it
in respect of Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in
respect of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the
Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited hereunder:
(i) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans,
including Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, net
of the related Servicing Fee and Incremental Interest;
(iii) all Liquidation Proceeds (including Insurance Proceeds), other
than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged
Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the applicable
Servicer's or Master Servicer's normal servicing procedures, and all
Recoveries;
(iv) any amount required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.07(e) in connection with any losses on Permitted
Investments;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.15(b) and 3.15(d), and in respect of net monthly
rental income from REO Property pursuant to Section 3.15 hereof;
(vi) all Substitution Adjustment Amounts;
(vii) all Advances made by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
4.01;
(viii) any Class P Prepayment Charges;
(ix) any Compensating Interest payments;
(x) any amounts deposited by the Master Servicer in connection with
a deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy in respect of
the Mortgage Loans in such Loan Group;
(xi) all proceeds of a primary mortgage guaranty insurance policy in

(xii) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.
In the event that the Master Servicer shall deposit into the
Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited, it may at any time
withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. The Master Servicer shall maintain adequate records
with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds
deposited in the Collection Account shall be held in trust for the
Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.10.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) The Trust Administrator shall establish and maintain, on behalf
of the Certificateholders, the Distribution Account. The Trust Administrator
shall, promptly upon receipt but no later than on the Distribution Account
Deposit Date, deposit in the Distribution Account and retain therein the
following:
(i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the
Trust Administrator pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(ix)(A);
(ii) any amount deposited by the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or WMMSC pursuant to Section 3.07(e) in connection with any
losses on Permitted Investments;
(iii) any WMMSC Monthly Remittance Amount received by the Trust
Administrator from WMMSC; and
(iv) any other amounts described hereunder which are required to be
deposited in the Distribution Account.
In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be
remitted, it may at any time direct the Trust Administrator in writing to
withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an
Officer's Certificate to the Trust Administrator which describes the amounts
deposited in error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the
Distribution Account shall be held by the Trust Administrator in trust for the
Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or
withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.10(b). Funds deposited in the
Distribution Account in respect of the Class P Prepayment Charges shall not be
treated as assets of any Trust REMIC, but shall be treated as assets of a
separate sub-account of the Distribution Account which shall be an asset of the
Grantor Trust for the benefit of the Class P Certificates. In no event shall the
Trust Administrator incur liability for withdrawals from the Distribution
Account at the direction of the Master Servicer.
(e) Each institution at which the Collection Account or Distribution
Account is maintained shall invest the funds on deposit in the Collection
Account, as directed in writing by the Master Servicer, or the Distribution
Account, as directed in writing by the Trust Administrator, in Permitted
Investments. Funds invested in the Collection Account shall mature not later
than the Business Day next preceding the related Distribution Account Deposit
Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of or is managed
by the institution that maintains, or is the custodian for, such account, then
such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Account
Deposit Date). The Trust Administrator shall, with respect to funds other than
the WMMSC Monthly Remittance Amount, and with respect to the WMMSC Monthly
Remittance Amount, as directed in writing by WMMSC, either (i) hold funds on
deposit in the Distribution Account uninvested in a trust or deposit account of
the Trust Administrator with no liability for interest or other compensation
thereon, except as otherwise agreed in writing with WMMSC, or (ii) invest funds
on deposit in the Distribution Account in Permitted Investments, which Permitted
Investments shall mature not later than the Business Day next preceding the
Distribution Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of
or is managed by the institution that maintains such fund or account, then such
Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Date).
Permitted Investments in respect of the Collection Account or the Distribution
Account shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity. All such
Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit
of the Certificateholders. All income and gain net of any losses realized from
any such investment of funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be for
the benefit of the Master Servicer as Master Servicing Compensation and shall be
remitted to it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any realized losses in
the Collection Account incurred in any such account in respect of any such
investments shall promptly be deposited by the Master Servicer (from its own
funds without any right of reimbursement) in the Collection Account or paid to
the Trustee by wire transfer of immediately available funds for deposit into the
Distribution Account. All income and gain (net of any losses realized from any
such investment of funds on deposit in the Distribution Account and net of any
WMMSC Investment Earnings Amount) shall be for the benefit of the Trust
Administrator as compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as provided
herein. The amount of any realized losses in the Distribution Account incurred
in any such account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be
deposited by the Trust Administrator or WMMSC, as applicable, in the
Distribution Account. The Trust Administrator shall not be liable for the amount
of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or lack of investment of funds
held in the Collection Account (except to the extent the Trust Administrator is
the obligor and has defaulted thereon), or the Distribution Account (to the
extent funds in the Distribution Account are being invested at the direction of
WMMSC), and made in accordance with this Section 3.07. In the absence of written
instructions by (i) the Trust Administrator, with respect to funds other than
any WMMSC Monthly Remittance Amount, or (ii) WMMSC, with respect to any WMMSC
Monthly Remittance Amount, to invest funds held in the Distribution Account, all
funds on deposit therein shall remain uninvested. Funds in the Group 1 Basis
Risk Account shall remain uninvested.
(f) The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of
the location of the Collection Account prior to any change thereof. The Trust
Administrator shall give notice to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, each Rating
Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the
Distribution Account or Group 1 Basis Risk Account prior to any change thereof.
(g) Each of the Collection Account, Distribution Account and Group 1
Basis Risk Account shall at all times be an Eligible Account, provided, that the
Collection Account may be deemed to be a sub-account of the Distribution
Account. If at any time either the Collection Account, Distribution Account or
Group 1 Basis Risk Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall
immediately establish and maintain a new Collection Account, Distribution
Account or Group 1 Basis Risk Account, as applicable, that is an Eligible
Account, and shall immediately transfer all funds on deposit in the former
Collection Account, Distribution Account or Group 1 Basis Risk Account as
applicable, to the new Collection Account, Distribution Account or Group 1 Basis
Risk Account as applicable.
(h) The Trust Administrator shall establish and maintain, on behalf
of the Class 1-A-1 and Class 1-A-2 Certificateholders, the Group 1 Basis Risk
Account. The Trust Administrator shall, promptly upon receipt but no later than
on the Distribution Account Deposit Date, deposit in the Group 1 Basis Risk
Account and retain therein any other amounts described hereunder that are
required to be deposited in the Group 1 Basis Risk Account.
The Trust Administrator shall account for the Group 1 Basis Risk
Account as an asset of the Grantor Trust and not an asset of any Trust REMIC
created pursuant to this Agreement. The beneficial owners of the Group 1 Basis
Risk Account are the Class 1-A-X Certificateholders. For all federal tax
purposes, amounts transferred or reimbursed by a Trust REMIC to the Group 1
Basis Risk Account shall be treated as distributions by the Trust Administrator
to the Class 1-A-X Certificateholders in respect of the Upper-Tier REMIC Regular
Interest represented by the Class 1-A-X Certificates.
(i) For federal income tax purposes, the Group 1 Basis Risk Account
shall be treated as beneficially owned by the Holders of the Class 1-A-X
Certificates and such portion of the Trust Fund shall be treated as a grantor
trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code. The right of the
Class 1-A-1 and Class 1-A-2 Certificates to receive payments of Group 1 Basis
Risk Carry Forward Amounts from the Group 1 Basis Risk Account shall be treated
as the right to receive payments under an interest rate cap contract written by
the Class 1-A-X Certificateholders in favor of the Class 1-A-1 and Class 1-A-2
Certificates and beneficially owned by each such Class through the Grantor
Trust. Accordingly, the Class 1-A-1 and Class 1-A-2 Certificates each will be
comprised of two components - an Upper-Tier REMIC Regular Interest and an
interest in an interest rate cap contract - and the Class 1-A-X Certificates
will be comprised of two components - an Upper-Tier REMIC Regular Interest, and
ownership of the Group 1 Basis Risk Account, subject to an obligation to pay
Group 1 Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts. The issue price for each of the Class
1-A-1 and Class 1-A-2 Certificates shall be allocated between their respective
components for purposes of determining the issue price of the related Upper-Tier
REMIC Regular Interest component based on information received from the
Depositor.
Section 3.08 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Escrow Accounts. To the extent required by the related Servicing Agreement and
by the related Mortgage Note and not violative of current law, the Master
Servicer shall require each Servicer to establish and maintain one or more
accounts (each, an "Escrow Account") and deposit and retain therein all
collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by such Servicer) for the payment
of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the
account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the Master Servicer to
compel a Servicer to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law.
Section 3.09 Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer and the Custodian shall afford
and the Master Servicer shall require the Servicers to afford the Depositor, the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator and their respective agents or
representatives reasonable access to all records and documentation regarding the
Mortgage Loans and all accounts, insurance information and other matters
relating to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, such access being
afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal
business hours at the office designated by the Master Servicer, the applicable
Servicer or the Custodian to the extent set forth in the applicable Servicing
Agreement.
Upon reasonable advance notice in writing, the Master Servicer and
the Custodian will provide or the Master Servicer shall require the Servicers,
to the extent set forth in the applicable Servicing Agreement, to provide to
each Certificateholder which is a savings and loan association, bank or
insurance company certain reports and reasonable access to information and
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans sufficient to permit such
Certificateholder to comply with applicable regulations of the OTS or other
regulatory authorities with respect to investment in the Certificates; provided,
that the Master Servicer, the applicable Servicer or the Custodian shall be
entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder for actual expenses
incurred by the Master Servicer, the applicable Servicer or the Custodian in
providing such reports and access.
Section 3.10 Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection Account and
Distribution Account and Group 1 Basis Risk Account. (a) The Master Servicer may
from time to time make withdrawals from the Collection Account for the following
purposes:
(i) to pay to the Servicers (to the extent not previously retained

(ii) to reimburse each of the Servicers or the Master Servicer for

The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on
a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to such sub-clauses (i), (ii),
(iv), (v) and (vi). Prior to making any withdrawal from the Collection Account
pursuant to sub-clause (iii), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trust
Administrator an Officer's Certificate of a Master Servicing Officer indicating
the amount of any previous Advance determined by the Master Servicer to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Mortgage Loans(s), and their
respective portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance.
(b) The Trust Administrator shall withdraw funds from the
Distribution Account for distributions to Certificateholders, in the manner

Section 3.11 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. (a) For each Mortgage
Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of 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 Sections 3.07 and 3.08, any amounts collected by the
Master 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 Collection Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections 3.07 and 3.08. Any cost incurred by
the Master 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 Mortgage Loan where the terms of the Mortgage 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 or such
Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.07 and 3.08.
Section 3.12 Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds. The
Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing
Agreement) cause the related Servicer to prepare and present on behalf of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under the 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 a Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies,
bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the Collection 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 Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any
applicable Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).
Section 3.13 Maintenance of the Primary Insurance Policies. (a) The
Master Servicer shall not take, or permit 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 applicable Primary Insurance
Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of such Master Servicer or
Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its
best reasonable efforts to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the
related Servicing Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the
Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary
mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage 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 Servicer (to the extent
required under the related Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew
any such Primary 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 present, or to cause each Servicer
(to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to present, on
behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under
any Primary Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable
action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance
Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Sections 3.07 and
3.08, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or any Servicer under any
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Collection
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections 3.07 and 3.08.
Section 3.14 Realization upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. The Master
Servicer shall cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related
Servicing Agreement) to foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably
convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Mortgage
Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, all in
accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.
Section 3.15 REO Property. (a) In the event the Trust Fund acquires
ownership of any REO Property in respect of any related Mortgage 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
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. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master
Servicer shall cause the applicable Servicer to protect and conserve such REO
Property in the manner and to the extent required by the applicable Servicing
Agreement, subject to the REMIC Provisions.
(b) The Master Servicer shall, to the extent required by the related
Servicing Agreement, cause the applicable Servicer to deposit all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in
the Protected Account.
(c) The Master 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 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 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) The Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO
Property, net of any payment to the Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer
as provided above shall be deposited in the Protected Account on or prior to the
Determination Date in the month following receipt thereof and be remitted by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Master Servicer for deposit
into the Collection Account.
In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of the related
Servicer to dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to the close of the third
calendar year after the year in which the Trust Fund acquires such Mortgaged
Property unless the Servicer shall have applied for and received an extension of
such period from the Internal Revenue Service, in which case the Trust Fund may
continue to hold such Mortgaged Property for the period of such extension.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property
acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented)
or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund
in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC hereunder to the
imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from
such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless
the Master Servicer or related Servicer, as applicable, has agreed to indemnify
and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such
taxes.
In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose
obligors is not a United States Person, as that term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure (together, "foreclosure") in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will cause the applicable Servicer to comply
with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445 2(d)(3) (or any
successor provision thereto) necessary to assure that no withholding tax
obligation arises with respect to the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the
extent, if any, that proceeds of such foreclosure are required to be remitted to
the obligors on such Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.16 Due on Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. To the
extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage
Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause
the 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 Mortgage Loan is
assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance
with the applicable Servicing Agreement.
Section 3.17 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon
(i) the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or (ii) the receipt by the Master
Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes or otherwise in connection with the servicing of any
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall, upon receipt of notification from the
related Servicer pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement, which
notification shall state that such payment in full has been deposited in the
Collection Account or has otherwise been escrowed in a manner customary for such
purposes, instruct the Custodian to, and the Custodian shall release the related
Mortgage File to the related Servicer. Upon notification, the Trustee shall at
the Custodian's direction execute and deliver to the Custodian the request for
reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or
such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage in each case provided by the
Custodian, together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation
thereon. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or
deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related Mortgagor.
If the Master Servicer or any related Servicer at any time seeks to
initiate a foreclosure proceeding in respect of any Mortgaged Property as
authorized by this Agreement or the Servicing Agreements, the Master Servicer or
any related Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for
signature, as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or
other documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action
brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or
rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at
law or in equity.
Section 3.18 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the
Master Servicer and the Custodian to Be Held for the Trustee. Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall forward to the
Custodian with an instruction to, and the Custodian shall, place within the
Mortgage File and the Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer to transmit to
the Custodian as required by this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement
all documents and instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the
possession of the Master Servicer or related Servicer from time to time and
shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds received by the Master Servicer
or related Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer or
related Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any
Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the
control of, the Master Servicer, the related Servicer or the Custodian in
respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and
interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including but not limited to,
any funds on deposit in the Collection Account or any Protected Account, shall
be held by the Master Servicer, the related Servicer or the Custodian for and on
behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of
the Trust, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the
related Servicing Agreement. Each of the Master Servicer and the Custodian also
agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds
that are deposited in the Collection Account, Distribution Account or any Escrow
Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security
interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by
legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File
or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except,
however, that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and
deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the
Master Servicer under this Agreement.
Section 3.19 Master Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its
activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain or
withdraw from the Collection Account an amount equal to the Master Servicing
Compensation.
Section 3.20 Access to Certain Documentation. The Master Servicer
and the Custodian shall provide and the Master Servicer shall cause each
Servicer to provide in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement to the
OTS and the FDIC and to comparable regulatory authorities supervising Holders of
Subordinate Certificates and the examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS,
the FDIC and such other authorities, access to the documentation regarding the
Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such
access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior
written request and during normal business hours at the offices designated by
the Master Servicer, the Custodian and the related Servicer. Nothing in this
Section shall limit the obligation of the Master Servicer, the Custodian and the
related Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of
information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Master Servicer, the
Custodian or the related Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section
as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. In
fulfilling such requests, the Master Servicer and the Custodian shall not be
responsible to determine the sufficiency of such information.
Section 3.21 Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Depositor, each Rating Agency, the Trust Administrator and
the Trustee on or before March 15th of each year, commencing with March 15,
2006, an Officer's Certificate, signed by two officers of the Master Servicer,
stating, as to the signers thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the
Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of the performance of the
Master Servicer under this Agreement has been made under such officers'
supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such
review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this
Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the
fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such
officer and the nature and status thereof.
Section 3.22 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Statement; Financial Statements. On or before March 15th of each year,
commencing with March 15, 2006, if the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master
Servicer has, during the course of any fiscal year, directly serviced any
Mortgage Loan, then at its expense it shall cause a nationally or regionally
recognized firm of independent public accountants (which may also render other
services to the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the
Trustee or any affiliate thereof) which is a member of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and the Depositor to the effect that such firm has examined
certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans
under this Agreement or of mortgage loans under pooling and servicing agreements
substantially similar to this Agreement (such statement to have attached thereto
a Schedule setting forth the pooling and servicing agreements covered thereby)
and that, on the basis of such examination, conducted substantially in
compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers,
such servicing has been conducted in compliance with such pooling and servicing
agreements except for such significant exceptions or errors in records that, in
the opinion of such firm, the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage
Bankers requires it to report. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the
Trust Administrator to any Certificateholder upon request at the Master
Servicer's expense, provided such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer
to the Trust Administrator.
Section 3.23 Errors and Omissions Insurance; Fidelity Bonds. The
Master Servicer shall for so long as it acts as Master Servicer under this
Agreement, obtain and maintain in force (a) a policy or policies of insurance
covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Master
Servicer hereunder and (b) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees
and agents. Each such policy or policies shall be in such form and such amount
generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicer. In the event that
any such policy or bond ceases to be in effect, the Master Servicer shall obtain
a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer or issuer, meeting the
requirements set forth above as of the date of such replacement.
ARTICLE IV
DISTRIBUTIONS AND SERVICING ADVANCES
Section 4.01 Advances. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the
Distribution Account not later than the Distribution Account Deposit Date
immediately preceding the related Distribution Date an Advance in an amount
equal to the difference between (x) with respect to each Scheduled Payment due
on a Mortgage Loan that is delinquent (other than as a result of a Relief Act
Reduction) and for which the related Servicer was required to make an Advance
pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement and (y) amounts deposited in the
Collection Account (or, in the case of WMMSC, amounts deposited in the
Distribution Account) to be used for Advances with respect to such Mortgage
Loan, except to the extent the Master Servicer determines any such Advance to be
a Nonrecoverable Advance. Subject to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall
continue to make such Advances for so long as the related Servicer is required
to do so under the related Servicing Agreement. If applicable, on the
Distribution Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver an
Officer's Certificate to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator stating that
the Master Servicer elects not to make an Advance in a stated amount and
detailing the reason(s) it deems the Advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any
amounts deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 4.01 shall be
net of the Servicing Fee for the related Mortgage Loans.

reduced by (i) the related Class' Pro Rata Share of Net Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group or Loan
Groups, based on such Class' Accrued Certificate Interest for such Distribution
Date without taking into account such Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and
(ii) the related Class' Pro Rata Share of (A) after the related Special Hazard
Coverage Termination Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan in the related
Loan Group or Loan Groups, that became a Special Hazard Mortgage Loan during the
calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, the excess of one
month's interest at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the Scheduled Principal
Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in such month over the amount
of Liquidation Proceeds applied as interest on such Mortgage Loan with respect
to such month, (B) after the Bankruptcy Coverage Termination Date, with respect
to each Mortgage Loan in the related Loan Group or Loan Groups that became

Distribution Date, the excess of one month's interest at the related Net
Mortgage Rate on the Scheduled Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the
Due Date in such month over the amount of Liquidation Proceeds applied as
interest on such Mortgage Loan with respect to such month.
(d) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation contained in Section
4.02(a)(ii)(A) through (F), if with respect to any Class of Subordinate
Certificates on any Distribution Date, (I) such Class has not satisfied the
related Class Prepayment Distribution Trigger, no distribution of amounts
pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) of the definition of Subordinate Optimal
Principal Amount will be made to any such Classes (the "Restricted Classes") and
the amount of such amounts pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) of the definition
of Subordinate Optimal Principal Amount otherwise distributable to the
Restricted Classes shall be distributed to any Classes of Subordinate
Certificates, that are not Restricted Classes, having lower numerical Class
designations than such Class, pro rata, based on their respective Class
Principal Balances immediately prior to such Distribution Date and shall be
distributed in the sequential order provided in Section 4.02(a)(ii)(A) through
(F); provided, however, that, if all of the Subordinate Certificates are
Restricted Classes, then such amounts shall be distributed to the most senior
Class of such Subordinate Certificates outstanding and (II) such Class has not
satisfied the Subordinate Certificates Fractional Interest Test, the Classes of
Subordinate Certificates that have higher numerical designations shall receive,
in respect of clauses (ii) and (iii) of the definition of Subordinate Optimal
Principal Amount, an amount equal to the product of (i) their pro rata shares
(based on the Certificate Principal Balances of all Subordinate Certificates
that are entitled to receive principal distributions on such date) and (ii) the
percentages set forth in the following table:
Distribution Date occurring in Percentage
----------------------------------------------- -----------
April 2005 through March 2012 ................. 0%
April 2012 through March 2013 ................. 30%
April 2013 through March 2014 ................. 40%
April 2014 through March 2015 ................. 60%
April 2015 through March 2016 ................. 80%
April 2016 and thereafter .................... 100%
Each Class of Subordinate Certificates that received a full pro rata
share as described above shall be allocated any remaining amount in respect of
clauses (ii) and (iii) of the definition of Subordinate Optimal Principal
Amount, pro rata (based on the Certificate Principal Balances of only those
Subordinate Certificates that received a full pro rata share). The calculation
of any amount to be distributed under this Section 4.02(d) shall be made by the
Master Servicer.
(e) On each Distribution Date, after application of Group Available
Funds for each Loan Group in accordance with Section 4.02(a)(i), the Trust
Administrator shall effect cross collateralization among the Certificate Groups
as follows:
(i) To the extent any Accrued Certificate Interest with respect to
any Class or Classes of Senior Certificates remains unpaid after
application of Group 1 Available Funds, Group 2 Available Funds, Group 3
Available Funds, Group 4 Available Funds and Group 5 Available Funds in
accordance with Section 4.02(a)(i), Available Funds remaining from all
Loan Groups after payments on the Senior Certificates in the related
Certificate Groups shall be applied to cover such unpaid Accrued
Certificate Interest, and shall be applied pro rata based on the amounts
of such unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest to the extent there are
insufficient funds to pay such amounts in full. Such amounts shall
otherwise be paid to the Senior Certificates in accordance with the
priorities set forth in Section 4.02(a)(i).
(ii) If on any Distribution Date, one or more of the Certificate
Groups is an Undercollateralized Group, the available Subordinate
Principal Distribution Amount (after giving effect to amounts required to
be paid in sub-clause (i) above) shall be paid to the Senior Certificates
of each such Undercollateralized Group as principal in accordance with the
priorities set forth in Section 4.02(a)(i) until the aggregate Class
Principal Balance of the Senior Certificates of each such
Undercollateralized Group(s) equals the Pool Balance of the related Loan
Group. If more than one such Certificate Group is an Undercollateralized
Group, the available Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount shall be
distributed between such Undercollateralized Groups pro rata according to
the Pool Principal Balance of the related Loan Group. Any application of
the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount for the Subordinate
Certificates pursuant to this paragraph (ii) will reduce distributions of
such amount to the Subordinate Certificates in reverse order of priority
pursuant to the priorities set forth in Section 4.02(a)(ii)(A) through
(F).
(iii) On or after the date on which the Class Principal Balances of
all of the Senior Certificates in any of the Certificate Groups have been
reduced to zero, amounts otherwise distributable as principal on the
Subordinate Certificates, up to the applicable Apportioned Subordinate
Principal Distribution Amount, shall be paid pro rata as principal to the
remaining Senior Certificates of such other Certificate Group or
Certificate Groups in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section
4.02(a)(i), provided that on such Distribution Date (a) the Aggregate
Subordinate Percentage for such Distribution Date is less than twice the
initial Aggregate Subordinate Percentage or (b) the average outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in any Loan Group delinquent 60
days or more over the last six months (including delinquent Mortgage Loans
in bankruptcy, and all Mortgage Loans in foreclosure and REO Properties)
as a percentage of the related Group Subordinate Amount is greater than or
equal to 50%. Any application of the applicable Apportioned Subordinate
Principal Distribution Amount to the Senior Certificates, pursuant to this
paragraph will reduce distributions of the Subordinate Principal
Distribution Amount for the Subordinate Certificates, pro rata, based on
Class Principal Balances of the Subordinate Certificates.
(f) On each Distribution Date, prior to distributions on the
Certificates as provided in Section 4.02(a)-(e), (i) Group 1 Available Funds
(other than amounts paid to the Class A-LR Certificates pursuant to Section
4.02(a)(i)) shall be deemed distributed to the Class LA-1B Interest and Class
LA-1Q Interest, (ii) Group 2 Available Funds shall be deemed distributed to the
Class LB-2B Interest and Class LB-2Q Interest, (iii) Group 3 Available Funds
shall be deemed distributed to the Class LB-3B Interest and Class LB-3Q
Interest, (iv) Group 4 Available Funds shall be deemed distributed to the Class
LB-4B Interest and Class LB-4Q Interest and (v) Group 5 Available Funds shall be
deemed distributed to the Class LB-5B Interest and Class LB-5Q Interest, in each
case, with respect to interest, at the related pass through rate described in
Section 2.06, and with respect to principal in the amounts described in this
Section 4.02(f).
Distributions of principal shall be made, and Realized Losses, Fraud
Losses, Bankruptcy Losses, Special Hazard Losses, Deficient Valuations and
Excess Losses shall be allocated:
(i) first, to the Class LA-1B Interest, Class LB-2B Interest, Class
LB-3B Interest, Class LB-4B Interest and Class LB-5B Interest, each from
the Related Loan Group, so that their respective principal balances
(computed to at least eight decimal places) are equal to (A) 0.10% of the
Group 0 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, (X) 0.10% of the Group 2 Subordinate Amount,
(C) 0.10% of the Group 0 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, (X) 0.10% of the Group 4
Subordinate Amount and (E) 0.10% of the Group 5 Subordinate Amount,
respectively (except that if any such amount is a larger number than in
the preceding distribution period, the least amount of principal shall be
distributed or losses shall be allocated to the Class LB-1B Interest,
Class LB-2B Interest, Class LB-3B Interest, Class LB-4B Interest or Class
LB-5B Interest, as applicable, such that the Lower-Tier Subordinated
Balance Ratio is maintained); and
(ii) second, any remaining amounts of principal shall be distributed
and losses shall be allocated from the Related Loan Group, to the Class
LA-1Q Interest, Class LB-2Q Interest, Class LB-3Q Interest, Class LB-4Q
Interest and Class LB-5Q Interest, respectively.
For the avoidance of doubt, amounts paid to the Lower-Tier REMIC A
Regular Interests are paid from Lower-Tier REMIC A and amounts paid to the
Lower-Tier REMIC B Regular Interests are paid from Lower-Tier REMIC B.
On each Distribution Date prior to distributions on the Certificates
as provided in Sections 4.02(a)-(e), interest shall be paid to each Middle-Tier
REMIC Regular Interest at the time and in the amount that interest is paid to
the Corresponding Class or Classes of Certificates (provided, that interest paid
to the Class 1-A-X Certificates shall be deemed paid to the Class 1-A-M1 and
Class 1-A-M2 Interests pro rata, based on the amount of interest accrued on the
related "specified portion" identified in Section 2.06). Distributions of
principal shall be deemed paid and Realized Losses, Fraud Losses, Special Hazard
Losses, Bankruptcy Losses and Excess Losses shall be deemed allocated to the
Middle-Tier REMIC Regular Interests in the same manner as they are allocated to
the Corresponding Class or Classes of Certificates pursuant to Section
4.02(a)-(e) and Section 4.03.
(g) Any Fair Market Value Excess collected in connection with a
termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 10.01 shall be distributed to
the Holders of the Class A-LR Certificates (in respect of the Class A-LRA
Interest in the case of the Group 1 Mortgage Loans and in respect of the Class
A-LRB Interest in the case of the Group 2, Group 3, Group 4 and Group 5 Mortgage
Loans).
Section 4.03 Allocation of Realized Losses. (a) On or prior to each
Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the total amount of
Realized Losses, including Excess Losses and the allocation of such total amount
as set forth below. Realized Losses occurring on the Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated as follows:
(i) (A) any Realized Loss (other than an Excess Loss) shall be
allocated first to the Subordinate Certificates in reverse order of their
respective numerical Class designations (beginning with the Class of
Subordinate Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class
designation) until the respective Class Principal Balance of each such
Class is reduced to zero and second (1) with respect to such losses
occurring with respect to Group 1 Mortgage Loans, to the Classes of Group
1 Certificates (not including the Interest-Only Certificates), pro rata on
the basis of their respective Class Principal Balances immediately prior
to the related Distribution Date until the Class Principal Balance of each
such Class has been reduced to zero; provided, however, that on or after
the Cross-Over Date, the losses allocable to the Class 1-A-1 Certificates
under this paragraph will instead be allocated to the Class 1-A-2
Certificates (in addition to other losses borne by such Certificates)
until the Class Principal Balance of the Class 1-A-2 Certificates has been
reduced to zero; (2) with respect to such losses occurring with respect to
Group 2 Mortgage Loans, to the Class 2-A-1 Certificates; (3) with respect
to such losses occurring with respect to Group 3 Mortgage Loans, to the
Group 3 Certificates (not including the Interest-Only Certificates); pro
rata, on the basis of their respective Class Principal Balances
immediately prior to the related Distribution Date until the Class
Principal Balance of each such Class has been reduced to zero; provided,
however, that on or after the Cross-Over Date, the losses allocable to the
Class 3-A-1 Certificates under this paragraph will instead be allocated to
the Class 3-A-2 Certificates (in addition to other losses borne by such
Certificates) until the Class Principal Balance of the Class 3-A-2
Certificates has been reduced to zero; (4) with respect to Group 4
Mortgage Loans, such losses occurring with respect to Class 4-A-1
Certificates; and (5) with respect to such losses occurring with respect
to Group 5 Mortgage Loans, to the Class 5-A-1 Certificates.
(B) any Excess Losses occurring on the Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated among (1) the Group 1 Certificates (not including the
Interest-Only Certificates), in the case of an Excess Loss on a
Group 1 Mortgage Loan, the Group 2 Certificates, in the case of an
Excess Loss on a Group 2 Mortgage Loan, the Group 3 Certificates
(not including the Interest-Only Certificates), in the case of an
Excess Loss on a Group 3 Mortgage Loan, the Group 4 Certificates, in
the case of an Excess Loss on a Group 4 Mortgage Loan, the Group 5
Certificates, in the case of an Excess Loss on a Group 5 Mortgage
Loan and (2) each Class of Subordinate Certificates, pro rata, based
upon their respective Class Principal Balances (or, in the case of
such Subordinate Certificates in the aggregate, the Group
Subordinate Amount for the Loan Group which incurred the Excess
Loss, the aggregate amount so allocated to the Subordinate
Certificates then to be allocated among such Subordinate
Certificates, pro rata, based on their respective Class Principal
Balances) after giving effect to distributions of principal on such
Distribution Date.
(b) The Class Principal Balance of the Class of Subordinate
Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation shall
be reduced on each Distribution Date by the amount, if any, by which the
aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of all outstanding Classes of
Certificates (after giving effect to the distribution of principal and the
allocation of Realized Losses on such Distribution Date) exceeds the Pool
Principal Balance for the following Distribution Date.
(c) Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Certificate or any
reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance of a Certificate (other than
Interest-Only Certificates), pursuant to Section 4.03(a) above shall be
accomplished by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, as
applicable, immediately following the distributions made on the related
Distribution Date in accordance with the definition of "Certificate Principal
Balance" herein; provided that no Realized Loss shall be allocated to reduce the
Certificate Principal Balance of a Certificate to the extent that such
allocation would reduce the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of all of
the Certificates to an amount less than the Pool Principal Balance for the
following Distribution Date of all outstanding Mortgage Loans in the aggregate,
less any related Deficiency Valuations occurring before the related Bankruptcy
Loss Coverage Termination Date (such limitation, a "Loss Allocation
Limitation").
(d) Prior to the Cross-Over Date, with respect to Recoveries
received during a Prepayment Period with respect to any Mortgage Loans, the
Class Principal Balance of one or more Classes of Certificates that have
previously had Realized Losses allocated, will be increased, as follows:
(i) first, up to the amount of the Recoveries with respect to a Loan
Group, the Class Principal Balance of each Class of Senior Certificates
(other than the Interest-Only Certificates) of the Certificate Group
corresponding to such Loan Group will be increased, pro rata, up to the
amount of unrecovered Realized Losses previously allocated to each such
Class, if any; and
(ii) second, up to the amount of the Recoveries remaining after
allocation pursuant to the preceding clause (i), the Class Principal
Balance of each Class of Subordinate Certificates, in order of seniority,
will be increased, by the amount of unrecovered Realized Losses previously
allocated to each such Class, if any.
(e) Commencing on the Cross-Over Date, the Trust Administrator shall
distribute the amount of any Recovery received during a Prepayment Period, pro
rata, based on Class Principal Balances, to the Classes of Senior Certificates
(other than the Interest-Only Certificates) of the Certificate Group
corresponding to the Loan Group of the Mortgage Loan for which the Recovery was
received; provided, however, that any distribution to a Class of Certificates
pursuant to this Section 4.03(e) shall not reduce the Class Principal Balance of
such Class.
Section 4.04 Distribution Date Statements to Certificateholders. (a)
Not later than two Business Days prior to each Distribution Date, the Master
Servicer shall prepare and make available to the Trust Administrator and not
later than each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall make available
to each Certificateholder, the Depositor, the Trustee and any other interested
parties a statement based in part on information provided by each Servicer
setting forth the following information with respect to the related distribution
(in the case of information furnished pursuant to (i) and (ii) below, the
amounts shall be expressed as a dollar amount per one thousand):
(i) the amount thereof allocable to principal, separately
identifying the aggregate amount of any Principal Prepayments, Class P
Prepayment Charges collected on the Mortgage Loans identified on Schedule
III attached hereto and Liquidation Proceeds included therein;
(ii) the amount thereof allocable to interest, any unpaid Class
Interest Shortfall included in such distribution and any remaining unpaid
Class Interest Shortfall after giving effect to such distribution;
(iii) if the distribution to the Holders of such Class of
Certificates is less than the full amount that would be distributable to
such Holders if there were sufficient funds available therefor, the amount
of the shortfall and the allocation thereof as between principal and
interest;
(iv) the Certificate Principal Balance as a dollar amount per
minimum denomination Certificate and the Class Principal Balance or
Notional Amount of each Class of Certificates, after giving effect to the
distribution of principal on such Distribution Date;
(v) the Group Pool Principal Balance for each Loan Group on such
Distribution Date;
(vi) the Senior Percentage and Subordinate Percentage for each
Certificate Group for the following Distribution Date;
(vii) the aggregate amount of the Servicing Fees with respect to
such Distribution Date;
(viii) the Pass-Through Rate for each such Class of Certificates
with respect to such Distribution Date;
(ix) the amount of Advances included in the distribution on such
Distribution Date and the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding as of
the close of business on such Distribution Date;
(x) the number and aggregate principal amounts of Mortgage Loans (A)
delinquent (exclusive of Mortgage Loans in foreclosure) (1) 1 to 30 days,
(2) 31 to 60 days, (3) 61 to 90 days, and (4) 91 or more days, and (B) in
foreclosure and delinquent (1) 1 to 30 days, (2) 31 to 60 days, (3) 61 to
90 days, and (4) 91 or more days, as of the close of business on the last
day of the calendar month preceding such Distribution Date;
(xi) with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became an REO Property
during the preceding calendar month, the loan number and Scheduled
Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the close of business on the
last Business Day of the calendar month preceding such Distribution Date
and the date of acquisition thereof;
(xii) the total number and principal balance of any REO Properties
(and market value, if available) as of the close of business on the last
Business Day of the calendar month preceding such Distribution Date;
(xiii) the Senior Prepayment Percentage for each applicable
Certificate Group;
(xiv) the aggregate amount of Realized Losses incurred during the
preceding calendar month;
(xv) the Special Hazard Loss Coverage Amount, the Fraud Loss
Coverage Amount and the Bankruptcy Loss Coverage Amount, in each case as
of the related Determination Date; and
(xvi) the amount of any Group 1 Basis Risk Payment on such
Distribution Date.
(b) The Trust Administrator's responsibility for disbursing the
above information to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, Depositor,
Certificateholders and other interested parties is limited to the availability,
timeliness and the accuracy of the information provided by each Servicer. The
Trust Administrator will make a copy of each statement provided pursuant to this
Section 4.04 (and, at its option, any additional files containing the same
information in an alternative format) available each month to Certificateholders
and other interested parties, and other parties to this Agreement via the Trust
Administrator's internet website, initially located at "xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx."
Assistance in using the Trust Administrator's website can be obtained by calling
the Trust Administrator's customer service desk at (000) 000-0000. Parties that
are unable to use the above distribution method are entitled to have a paper
copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the Trust Administrator's
customer service desk and indicating such. The Trust Administrator shall have
the right to change the way the Distribution Date Statement is distributed in
order to make such distribution more convenient and more accessible and the
Trust Administrator shall provide timely and adequate notification to the
Certificateholders and the parties to this Agreement regarding any such changes.
The Trust Administrator shall also be entitled to rely on but shall not be
responsible for the content or accuracy of any information provided by third
parties for purposes of preparing the Distribution Date Statement and may affix
thereto any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion
(without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto). As a
condition to access the Trust Administrator's internet website, the Trust
Administrator may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer. The
Trust Administrator shall not be liable for the dissemination of information in
accordance with this Agreement.
(c) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each
calendar year, the Trust Administrator shall cause to be furnished upon request
to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Certificateholder,
a statement containing the information set forth in clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) and
(a)(iv) of this Section 4.04 aggregated for such calendar year or applicable
portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such
obligation of the Trust Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to
the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the
Trust Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to
time in effect.
Section 4.05 Determination of LIBOR. On each LIBOR Determination
Date, the Trust Administrator shall determine One-Month LIBOR. The "Interest
Settlement Rates" currently are based on rates quoted by 16 British Bankers'
Association designated banks as being in the view of such banks, the offered
rate at which deposits are being quoted to prime banks in the London interbank
market. Such Interest Settlement Rates are calculated by eliminating the four
highest rates and the four lowest rates, averaging the eight remaining rates,
carrying the result (expressed as a percentage) out to six decimal places, and
rounding to five decimal places.
If on any LIBOR Determination Date the Trust Administrator is unable
to determine One-Month LIBOR on the basis of the method set forth in the
preceding paragraph, One-Month LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period will
be the higher of (i) One-Month LIBOR as determined on the previous LIBOR
Determination Date or (ii) the Reserve Interest Rate. The "Reserve Interest
Rate" will be the rate per annum which the Trust Administrator determines to be
either (a) the arithmetic mean (rounding such arithmetic mean upwards if
necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/16%) of the one month U.S. Dollar
lending rate that New York City banks selected by the Trust Administrator are
quoting on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date to the principal London offices
of at least two leading banks in the London interbank market or (b) in the event
that the Trust Administrator can determine no such arithmetic mean, the lowest
one month U.S. Dollar lending rate that the New York City banks selected by the
Trust Administrator are quoting on such LIBOR Determination Date to leading
European banks.
If on any LIBOR Determination Date the Trust Administrator is
required, but is unable, to determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the manner
provided in the preceding paragraph, One-Month LIBOR for the next Interest
Accrual Period will be One-Month LIBOR as determined on the previous One-Month
LIBOR Determination Date or, in the case of the first LIBOR Determination Date,
the Initial LIBOR Rate.
The establishment of One-Month LIBOR on each LIBOR Determination
Date by the Trust Administrator and the Trust Administrator's calculation of the
rate of interest applicable to the Class 1-A-1 and Class 1-A-2 Certificates for
the related Interest Accrual Period shall (in the absence of manifest error) be
final and binding.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 The Certificates. The Certificates shall be
substantially in the forms attached hereto in Exhibits A, B, C and E. The
Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the minimum denominations,
integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one Certificate in each Class
may be issued in a different amount) and aggregate denominations per Class set
forth in the Preliminary Statement.
Subject to Section 10.02 hereof respecting the final distribution on
the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trust Administrator shall make
distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date
either (x) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of
such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if
such Holder has so notified the Trust Administrator in writing at least five
Business Days prior to the related Record Date or (y) by check mailed by first
class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in
the Certificate Register.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Trust Administrator by an authorized officer. Certificates
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time
when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust
Administrator shall bind the Trust Administrator, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at
the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless authenticated by the
Trust Administrator by manual signature, and such authentication upon any
Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates
shall be dated the date of their authentication. On the Closing Date, the Trust
Administrator shall authenticate the Certificates to be issued at the direction
of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof. The Depositor shall provide, or
cause to be provided, to the Trust Administrator on a continuous basis, an
adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate transfers.
Section 5.02 Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and
Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Trust Administrator shall maintain, or cause
to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.02 hereof,
a Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of
subsections (b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Trust Administrator shall provide for the registration of
Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Trust
Administrator shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and
aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trust Administrator.
Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trust
Administrator shall execute, authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which
the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every
Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Trust Administrator duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required by the
Trust Administrator.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trust Administrator
in accordance with the Trust Administrator's customary procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. In the
event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the
Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities
Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and
such Certificateholder's prospective transferee (other than the Depositor or an
affiliate of the Depositor) shall each certify to the Trust Administrator in
writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the forms set forth
in Exhibit I (the "Transferor Certificate") and (i) deliver a letter in
substantially the form of either Exhibit J (the "Investment Letter") or Exhibit
K (the "Rule 144A Letter") or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trust
Administrator at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel addressed
to the Trust Administrator that such transfer may be made pursuant to an
exemption from the Securities Act. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of
a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such
Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans
and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to
eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate
without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the
registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and the Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor, in
accordance with the Depositor's request, in providing the Rule 144A information
referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor, to
the extent in its possession, such information regarding the Certificates, the
Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall
reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each
Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor,
and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is
not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be made (other
than to the Depositor or an affiliate of the Depositor) unless the Trust
Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the
transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trust Administrator (in the event such Certificate is a
Private Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by the Trust
Administrator's receipt of a representation letter from the transferee
substantially in the form of Exhibit J or Exhibit K), to the effect that such
transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Title I of
ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a plan or
arrangement subject to any federal, state or local law ("Similar Law")
materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code, nor a
person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, nor using the assets of
any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer, which representation
letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the
Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund, (ii) in the
case of an ERISA Restricted Certificate other than a Class P Certificate or a
Residual Certificate, if the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation
that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates
with funds contained in an "insurance company general account" (as such term is
defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE
95-60")) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered
under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the case of any ERISA
Restricted Certificate other than a Class P Certificate or a Residual
Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan
subject to ERISA, or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code
or a plan or arrangement subject to Similar Law (or comparable provisions of any
subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any other person acting
on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, or using such plan's or arrangement's
assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trust Administrator, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer or the Trust
Fund, addressed to the Trust Administrator and the Trustee to the effect that
the purchase or holding of such ERISA Restricted Certificate will not constitute
or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA,
Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law and will not subject the Trustee,
the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Transferor or the Master Servicer to
any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to
any liability under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, with respect to an ERISA Restricted
Certificate that is not a Private Certificate, in the event the representation
letter referred to in the preceding sentence is not so furnished, such
representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Trust Administrator by
the transferee's (including an initial acquirer's) acceptance of the ERISA
Restricted Certificates. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein,
(a) any purported transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate, other than a
Class P Certificate or a Residual Certificate, to or on behalf of an employee
benefit plan subject to ERISA, the Code or Similar Law without the delivery to
the Trust Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trust
Administrator as described above shall be void and of no effect and (b) any
purported transfer of a Class P Certificate or a Residual Certificate to a
transferee that does not make the representation in clause (i) above shall be
void and of no effect.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not
limited to, ERISA), the Trust Administrator shall be under no liability to any
Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that
is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due
on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the
transfer was registered by the Trust Administrator in accordance with the
foregoing requirements.
Neither the Trust Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall be
required to monitor, determine or inquire as to the compliance with the transfer
restrictions with respect to any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is a
Book-Entry Certificate, and neither the Trust Administrator nor the Master
Servicer shall have any liability for transfers of any such Book-Entry
Certificates made through the book entry facilities of any Depository or between
or among Depository Participants or Certificate Owners made in violation of the
transfer restrictions set forth herein.
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly
notify the Trust Administrator of any change or impending change in its
status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be
registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trust
Administrator shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate
unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the
Trust Administrator under subparagraph (b) above, the Trust Administrator
shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of
the initial owner or the proposed transferee (other than the Depositor of
an affiliate thereof) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from
any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit
from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or
agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C)
not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to
cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to
any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a
Permitted Transferee.
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of
a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to
all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of
Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trust Administrator shall be
under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a
Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and
this Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to
the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was
registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor
Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The
Trust Administrator shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from
any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted
Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as
it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such
Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so
recovered by the Trust Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the
Trust Administrator to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such
Certificate.
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon
receipt of written request from the Trust Administrator, all information
necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as
a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
to any Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee described in clauses (i)
through (iv) of the definition thereof.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in
this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the
legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers
occurring after delivery to the Trust Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel
addressed to the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and the Master Servicer, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator, the Transferor or the Master Servicer, to the effect that
the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any REMIC hereunder to fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or
result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or
another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which,
based on an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trust Administrator and the
Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or
any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly
or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide
for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a
Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted
Transferee.
(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions
referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at
the expense of the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at
all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at
all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the
Trust Administrator except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall
maintain book entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with
respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii)
ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the
books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the
Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees,
charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trust
Administrator shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and
indirect participating firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the
Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under
this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such
representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with
respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trust Administrator may
conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information
furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and
furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating
firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as
direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall
be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as
agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures.
If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trust
Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing, qualified or
able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the
Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (y) the Depositor notifies
the Trust Administrator and the Depository of its intent to terminate the book
entry system through the Depository and, upon receipt of notice of such intent
from the Depository, the Depository Participants holding beneficial interests in
the Book-Entry Certificates agree to initiate such termination, or (z) after the
occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Termination, Certificate Owners
representing at least 51% of the Class Principal Balance of the Book-Entry
Certificates together advise the Trust Administrator and the Depository through
the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book entry
system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the
Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants consent to the termination,
the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of notice of such event, shall notify all
Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event
and of the availability of definitive, fully registered Certificates (the
"Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender to the Trust Administrator of the related Class of Certificates by the
Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for
registration, the Trust Administrator shall issue the Definitive Certificates.
None of the Master Servicer, the Depositor nor the Trust Administrator shall be
liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and each may conclusively
rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Depositor
shall provide the Trust Administrator with an adequate inventory of certificates
to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. 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 Trust Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect to
such Definitive Certificates and the Trust Administrator shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided
that the Trust Administrator shall not by virtue of its assumption of such
obligations become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the
Depository.
Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If
(a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trust Administrator, or the
Trust Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Master
Servicer and the Trust Administrator such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice
to the Trust Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona
fide purchaser, the Trust Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver,
in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In
connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the
Trust Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any
other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trust Administrator) and
its counsel connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to
this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of
ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners. The Master Servicer, the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator and any agent of the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator may treat the Person in whose name any
Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of
receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator nor any agent of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Section 5.05 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses. If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in
writing from the Trust Administrator, (b) state that such Certificateholders
desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights
under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the
communication which such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the
Depositor or Master Servicer shall request such information in writing from the
Trust Administrator, then the Trust Administrator shall, within ten Business
Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor, the Master
Servicer or such Certificateholders at such recipients' expense the most recent
list of the Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the Trust
Administrator, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving
and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trust Administrator shall not be held
accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list
of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.
Section 5.06 Maintenance of Office or Agency. Certificates may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator will give prompt
written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location of any
such office or agency.
ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR, THE CUSTODIAN AND THE MASTER SERVICER
Section 6.01 Respective Liabilities of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Custodian. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Custodian
shall each be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the
obligations specifically and respectively imposed upon and undertaken by them
herein.
Section 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Custodian. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Custodian
will each keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a
corporation or national banking association, as the case may be, under the laws
of the United States or under the laws of one of the states thereof and will
each obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign
corporation or legal entity, as the case may be, in each jurisdiction in which
such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its respective duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the
Custodian may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger
or consolidation to which the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Custodian
shall be a party, or any person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or the Custodian, shall be the successor of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or the Custodian, as the case may be, hereunder, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided,
however, that the successor or surviving Person to the Master Servicer shall be
qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac.
Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the
Transferor, the Master Servicer, the Custodian and Others. None of the
Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer, the Custodian or any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Transferor, the
Custodian or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust for
any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master
Servicer, the Custodian or any such Person against any breach of representations
or warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor, the Transferor, the
Master Servicer, the Custodian or any such Person from any liability which would
otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations
and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer, the
Custodian and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee or agent of the
Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer or the Custodian may rely in good
faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by
any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor and its
Affiliates, the Transferor, the Master Servicer, the Custodian and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or its Affiliates, the Transferor,
the Master Servicer or the Custodian shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and
held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with
(i) any audit, controversy or judicial proceeding relating to a governmental
taxing authority, (ii) the performance of its duties and obligations and the
exercise of (or failure to exercise) its rights under this Agreement (including,
with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the Certificates), or (iii) any legal
action relating to this Agreement (including, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans) or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense related to
any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability
or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any
loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder, provided that any such loss,
liability or expense constitutes an "unanticipated expense incurred by the
REMIC" within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions. None of the Depositor, the
Transferor, the Master Servicer and the Custodian shall be under any obligation
to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its
respective duties hereunder and which in its opinion may involve it in any
expense or liability; provided, however, that any of the Depositor, the
Transferor, the Custodian or the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake
any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this
Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests of the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Certificateholders hereunder. In such
event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the
Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer and the Custodian shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account.
Section 6.04 Limitation on Resignation of Master Servicer. The
Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed
on it except (a) upon appointment of a successor master servicer and receipt by
the Trustee of a letter from each Rating Agency that such a resignation and
appointment will not result in a downgrading of the rating of any of the
Certificates, (b) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law or (c) pursuant to Section 6.05. Any such
determination under clause (b) permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer
shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the
Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a
successor master servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's
responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.
Section 6.05 Sale and Assignment of Master Servicing Rights. The
Master Servicer may sell, assign or delegate its rights, duties and obligations
as Master Servicer under this Agreement in their entirety; provided, however,
that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such sale, assignment and
delegation (a) shall be a Person qualified to service mortgage loans for Xxxxxx
Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac; (b) shall have a net worth of not less than $50,000,000
(unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii) below);
(c) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (as evidenced in a writing
signed by the Trustee); and (d) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an
agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which
contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and
observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it as
master servicer under this Agreement from and after the effective date of such
assumption agreement or delegation; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior
written notice of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer
and shall confirm in writing to the Master Servicer and the Trustee that any
such sale, assignment or delegation would not result in a withdrawal or a
downgrading of the rating on any Class of Certificates in effect immediately
prior to such sale, assignment or delegation; and (iii) the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,
each stating that all conditions precedent to such action under this Agreement
have been fulfilled and such action is permitted by and complies with the terms
of this Agreement. No such sale, assignment or delegation shall affect any
liability of the Master Servicer arising prior to the effective date thereof.
Section 6.06 Fees of the Custodian. The Custodian shall be
compensated as separately agreed in writing with the Master Servicer.
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
Section 7.01 Events of Default. "Master Servicer Event of
Termination," wherever used herein, means any one of the following events:
(i) The Master Servicer fails to cause to be deposited in the
Distribution Account any amount so required to be deposited pursuant to
this Agreement, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of one
Business Day; or
(ii) The Master Servicer fails to observe or perform in any material
respect any other material covenants and agreements set forth in this
Agreement to be performed by it, which covenants and agreements materially
affect the rights of Certificateholders, and such failure continues
unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice
of such failure, properly requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or to the Master Servicer
and the Trustee or the Trust Administrator by the Holders of Certificates
evidencing Voting Rights aggregating not less than 25% of the
Certificates; or
(iii) There is entered against the Master Servicer a decree or order
by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the
premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator in
any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities
or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its
affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order is unstayed and
in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days, or an involuntary case is
commenced against the Master Servicer under any applicable insolvency or
reorganization statute and the petition is not dismissed within 60 days
after the commencement of the case; or
(iv) The Master Servicer consents to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of
debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or
relating to the Master Servicer or substantially all of its property; or
the Master Servicer admits in writing its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due, files a petition to take advantage of any
applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, makes an assignment for
the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspends payment of its
obligations; or
(v) The Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or rights
under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions permitting such
assignment or delegation under Section 6.05.
In each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event
of Termination with respect to the Master Servicer shall not have been remedied,
the Trustee may, and (i) at the direction of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing Voting Rights aggregating not less than 25% of the Certificates or
(ii) if such Master Servicer Event of Termination is related to a failure by the
Master Servicer to make any Advance required to be made by it pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, the Trustee shall, in each case, by notice in writing
to the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by such Certificateholders),
with a copy to the Rating Agencies, terminate all of the rights and obligations
(but not the liabilities accruing prior to the date of termination) of the
Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the
REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer and the proceeds thereof. Upon the
receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power
of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Certificates, the Mortgage Loans, the Servicing Agreements, REO Property or
under any other related agreements (but only to the extent that such other
agreements relate to the Mortgage Loans or related REO Property) shall, subject
to Section 7.02, automatically and without further action pass to and be vested
in the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.01; and, without limitation, the
Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the Master Servicer as attorney in fact or otherwise, any and all documents and
other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and
related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's rights and
obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the
Trustee of (i) the Mortgage Files and all other property and amounts which are
then or should be part of the Trust or which thereafter become part of the
Trust; and (ii) originals or copies of all documents of the Master Servicer
reasonably requested by the Trustee to enable it to assume the Master Servicer's
duties thereunder. In addition to any other amounts which are then, or,
notwithstanding the termination of its activities under this Agreement, may
become payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to receive, out of any amount received on account of a
Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, that portion of such payments which it
would have received as reimbursement under this Agreement if notice of
termination had not been given. The termination of the rights and obligations of
the Master Servicer shall not affect any obligations incurred by the Master
Servicer prior to such termination.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Master
Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any
late collection of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to
the notice terminating such Master Servicer's rights and obligations as Master
Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to which
such Master Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.10(a)(i)
through (viii), and (x) and any other amounts payable to such Master Servicer
hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its
activities hereunder.
If the Master Servicer and Trust Administrator are the same Person,
then at any time the Master Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section
7.01, the Trust Administrator shall likewise be removed as trust administrator
hereunder.
Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after
the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to
Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the extent provided in
Section 3.05, be the successor to the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master
Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, liabilities and
limitations on liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the
terms and provisions hereof and applicable law including the obligation to make
Advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall
be entitled to all compensation to which the Master Servicer would have been
entitled hereunder if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the
Master Servicer in accordance with Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee may, if it
shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law
from making Advances pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof or if it is otherwise
unable to so act, or if it has been requested in writing by Holders of
Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the
Certificates to do so, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of
which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by
each Rating Agency as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Master Servicer hereunder. Any successor to the Master Servicer shall be an
institution which is a Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer in
good standing, which has a net worth of at least $15,000,000, and which is
willing to master service the Mortgage Loans and executes and delivers to the
Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment,
which contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer (other than
liabilities of the Master Servicer under Section 6.03 hereof incurred prior to
termination of the Master Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if
originally named as a party to this Agreement; and provided, further, that each
Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect
immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or
reduced, as a result of such assignment and delegation. Pending appointment of a
successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is
prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 3.05 hereof, act in
such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such
successor master servicer out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such
successor master servicer shall agree; provided, however, that no such
compensation shall be in excess of the compensation permitted the Master
Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such successor master servicer shall take
such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate
any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer
shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or
any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any
failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities
hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to
deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash,
information, documents or records to it.
Any successor master servicer as Master Servicer shall give notice
to the Servicers of such change of master servicer and shall, during the term of
its service as master servicer enforce the requirement of the Servicers to
maintain in force the policy or policies pursuant to Section 3.11.
The Trustee or successor master servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed from the Master Servicer for all costs associated with the transfer
of master servicing from the predecessor master servicer, including, without
limitation, any costs or expenses (including but not limited to personnel time)
associated with the complete transfer of all master servicing data and the
completion, correction or manipulation of such master servicing data as may be
required by the Trustee or successor master servicer to correct any errors or
insufficiencies in the master servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee
or successor master servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans properly and
effectively. If the Master Servicer does not pay such reimbursement within
thirty (30) days of its receipt of an invoice therefor, such reimbursement shall
be an expense of the Trust and the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw such
reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to
Section 3.10(b)(iii); provided that the Master Servicer shall reimburse the
Trust for any such expense incurred by the Trust.
Section 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders. (a) Upon any
termination of or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee
(or the Trust Administrator on its behalf) shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Master Servicer Event
of Termination, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall transmit by mail to
all Certificateholders notice of each such Master Servicer Event of Termination
hereunder known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, unless such Master Servicer Event of Termination shall have been
cured or waived.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THE MASTER SERVICER
Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence
of a Master Servicer Event of Termination and after the curing or waiver of all
Master Servicer Events of Termination that may have occurred, shall undertake to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case a Master Servicer Event of Termination has occurred and
remains uncured or unwaived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill
in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs, but only until such
time as a successor Master Servicer shall have been appointed hereunder.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in
the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall
not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution,
certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument. If
any such instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the
requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders
of such non conforming instrument in the event the Trustee, after so requesting,
does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) unless a Master Servicer Event of Termination of which the
Trustee has actual knowledge shall have occurred, and be continuing, the
duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable
except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and the
Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be genuine and to have
been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters
arising hereunder;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made
in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the
Trustee, unless it shall be conclusively determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction, that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25%
of the Voting Rights of Certificates relating to the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power
conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement;
(iv) the Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no liability
and makes no representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the
Master Servicer until such time as the Trustee may be required to act as
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 and thereupon only for the acts
or omissions of the Trustee as successor Master Servicer; and
(v) the Trustee shall promptly remit to the Master Servicer any
complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document (collectively, the
"Notices") delivered to the Trustee as a consequence of the assignment of
any Mortgage Loan hereunder and relating to the servicing of the Mortgage
Loans; provided that any such Notice (i) is delivered to the Trustee at
its Corporate Trust Office; and (ii) contains information sufficient to
permit the Trustee to make a determination that the real property to which
such document related is a Mortgaged Property. The Trustee shall have no
duty hereunder with respect to any Notice it may receive or which may be
alleged to have been delivered to or served upon it unless such Notice is
delivered to it or served upon it at its Corporate Trust Office and such
Notice contains the information required pursuant to clause (ii) of the
preceding sentence.
Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) the Trustee may request and conclusively rely upon and shall be
fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and
the Trustee shall have no responsibility to ascertain or confirm the
genuineness of any signature of any such party or parties;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisers or
accountants and the advice of any such counsel, financial advisers or
accountants and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or
suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with
such advice or Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or
within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this
Agreement;
(iv) prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Termination and after the curing or waiver of all Master Servicer Events
of Termination which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to
make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates evidencing not
less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of
Certificates; provided, however, that, if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be
incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of
the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security
afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to
so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be
paid by the Master Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be
reimbursed by the Master Servicer upon demand. Nothing in this clause (iv)
shall derogate from the obligation of the Master Servicer to observe any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the
Mortgagors;
(v) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys or a custodian and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any
misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or
custodian appointed by the Trustee with due care;
(vi) the Trustee shall not be required to risk or expend its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder
if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured
to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any
event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of
performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the
successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges
of, the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(vii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment
of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than as issuer of the
investment security);
(viii) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master
Servicer Event of Termination until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written
notice of such failure from the Master Servicer or the holders of
Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of
Certificates. In the absence of such receipt of such notice, the Trustee
may conclusively assume that there is no Master Servicer Event of
Termination; and
(ix) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute,
conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the
request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall
have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory
to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby.
The Trustee shall have no duty (A) to see to any recording, filing,
or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any
financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or
to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to
any rerecording, refiling or redepositing thereof, (B) to see to the provisions
of any insurance or (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax,
assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind
owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund
other than from funds available in the Distribution Account.
Section 8.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as the
statements of the Depositor or the Transferor, as the case may be, and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document. The Trustee shall not
be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or the Master
Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer in respect of
the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account, the
Distribution Account or the Group 1 Basis Risk Account by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or the Trust Administrator.
Section 8.04 Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates
and may transact business with the parties hereto and their Affiliates with the
same rights as it would have if it were not the Trustee.
Section 8.05 Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The Trustee shall be
compensated by the Master Servicer as separately agreed with the Master
Servicer. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee, agent or "control
person" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
Securities Exchange of 1934, as amended ("Control Person"), of the Trustee shall
be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or
expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) (i) incurred in connection with
any claim or legal action relating to (a) this Agreement (b) the Mortgage Loans
or (c) the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any
of the Trustee's duties hereunder, (ii) incurred in connection with the
performance of any of the Trustee's duties or the exercise of (or failure to
exercise) its rights hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense
incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of any of the Trustee's duties hereunder, (iii) incurred by reason
of any action of the Trustee taken at the direction of the Certificateholders,
and (iv) resulting from any error in any tax or information return prepared by
the Master Servicer, provided, that any such loss, liability or expense
constitutes an "unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC" within the meaning
of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). Such indemnity shall survive
the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee
hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, and except for any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct, or which would not be an "unanticipated expense" within the
meaning of the second preceding sentence, the Trustee shall be reimbursed by the
Trust for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made
by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement with
respect to: (A) the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements
of its counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance of the
Certificates, (B) the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of any
accountant, engineer, appraiser or other agent that is not regularly employed by
the Trustee, to the extent that the Trustee must engage such Persons to perform
acts or services hereunder and (C) printing and engraving expenses in connection
with preparing any Definitive Certificates. The Trust shall fulfill its
obligations under this paragraph from amounts on deposit from time to time in
the Distribution Account.
Section 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee
hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating of at least
investment grade. If such corporation or association publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
Section 8.07 hereof. The entity serving as Trustee may have normal banking and
trust relationships with the Depositor and its affiliates or the Master Servicer
and its affiliates; provided, however, that such entity cannot be an affiliate
of the Master Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the
Master Servicer.
Section 8.07 Resignation and Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at
any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving
written notice of resignation to the Depositor and the Master Servicer and each
Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date specified in such notice
when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to take effect, and
acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section 8.08 meeting the
qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no successor trustee meeting such
qualifications shall have been so appointed by the Depositor and have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after
written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax
is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or
the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the
appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor or the Master Servicer
may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in
triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Master Servicer and one
copy to the successor trustee.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys in fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments
shall be delivered by the successor Trustee to the Master Servicer, one complete
set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so
appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each Rating
Agency by the successor trustee. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and
appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this
Section 8.07 shall become effective upon acceptance by the successor trustee of
appointment as provided in Section 8.08 hereof.
Section 8.08 Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as
provided in Section 8.07 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Depositor and to its predecessor trustee and the Master Servicer an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of
the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all
the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with
the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such
rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and its appointment
shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates, as
confirmed in writing by each Rating Agency.
Upon acceptance by a successor trustee of appointment as provided in
this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail
such notice within 10 days after acceptance by the successor trustee of
appointment, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the
expense of the Depositor.
Section 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any corporation or
other entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it
may be consolidated or any corporation or other entity resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or
any corporation or other entity succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall
be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation or
other entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof,
without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any
of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be
located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power
and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons
approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the
Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part
thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master
Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master
Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case where a Master Servicer
Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone
shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee
hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor
trustee under Section 8.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this
Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee (as
successor master servicer) under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf
of the Master Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised
or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is
not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act),
except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder
or as successor to the 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 the applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate
trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) No trustee hereunder shall be held liable by reason of any act
or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not,
and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or
co-trustee as agent of the Trustee; and
(iii) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when
and 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 trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the
Master Servicer and the Depositor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee its agent or attorney in fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
Section 8.11 Tax Matters. It is intended that the assets with
respect to which each REMIC election is to be made, as set forth in the
Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the conduct of matters
relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as, a "real
estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with the
REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Master Servicer
covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Master Servicer is
hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of each Trust REMIC and that in such
capacity it shall:
(a) prepare, submit to the Trustee for execution, and file, or cause
to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage
Investment Conduit (REMIC) Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form
adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be
prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or
local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year
with respect to such Trust REMIC, containing such information and at the times
and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws,
regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to
Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in
such manner as may be required thereby, including without limitation, the
calculation of any original issue discount using the prepayment assumption
identified in the Prospectus Supplement;
(b) apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal
Revenue Service via Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for such Trust REMIC
and within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to
the Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by
the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the
holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto,
together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and
update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code;
(c) make or cause to be made elections that such assets be treated
as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if
necessary, under applicable state law);
(d) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed
on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee described in clauses (i)-(iv) of the definition thereof, or an agent
(including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a non Permitted Transferee
(the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged
to the Person liable for such tax);
(e) to the extent that they are under its control, conduct matters
relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as
to maintain the status as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions;
(f) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take
any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status;
(g) not permit the creation of any interests in such REMIC other
than the Certificates;
(h) not receive any amount representing a fee or other compensation
for services (except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement);
(i) receive any income attributable to any asset which is neither a
"qualified mortgage" nor a "permitted investment" within the meaning of the
REMIC Provisions;
(j) not receive any contributions to such REMIC after the Startup
Day that would be subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code;
(k) not dispose of any assets of such REMIC at a gain if such
disposition would be a "prohibited transaction" within the meaning of Section
860F(a)(2) of the Code;
(l) pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this
Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited
transaction taxes as described below, imposed on such REMIC prior to its
termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation
shall not prevent the Master Servicer or any other appropriate Person from
contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the
Master Servicer from causing the withholding of payment of such tax, if
permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings);
(m) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information
returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other Person as may be required
to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules;
and
(n) maintain records relating to such REMIC, including but not
limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the adjusted
basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code,
as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or
information.
The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class A-LR
Certificates shall act as Tax Matters Person for Lower-Tier REMIC A and
Lower-Tier REMIC B and the Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the
Class A-UR Certificates shall act as the Tax Matters Person for each of the
Upper-Tier REMIC and the Middle-Tier REMIC, in each case, within the meaning of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d), and the Master Servicer is hereby
designated as agent of such Certificateholder for such purpose (or if the Master
Servicer is not so permitted, such Holder shall be the Tax Matters Person in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions). In such capacity, the Master Servicer
shall, as and when necessary and appropriate, represent the related REMIC in any
administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by
any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to
any taxable year of such REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any
governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any
tax item of such REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of such REMIC in relation to
any tax matter or controversy involving it.
In order to enable the Master Servicer to perform its duties as set
forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the
Master Servicer within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or
data that the Master Servicer requests in writing and determines to be relevant
for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates,
including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and
projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the
Depositor shall provide to the Master Servicer promptly upon written request
therefor, any such additional information or data that the Master Servicer may,
from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Master Servicer to
perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the
Master Servicer for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the
Master Servicer arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Master
Servicer that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause
to be provided, accurate information or data to the Master Servicer on a timely
basis.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of
any Trust REMIC 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 contribution to such REMIC after the Startup Day pursuant to
Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, if not paid as
otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Master
Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, respectively, if any such
other tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, respectively, of any of its obligations
under this Agreement, (ii) the Transferor, if any such tax arises out of or
results from the Transferor's obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant
to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iii) in all other cases, or in the event that the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Transferor fails to
honor its obligations under the preceding clause (i), (ii) or (iii), any such
tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the
Certificateholders, as provided in Section 3.10(b).
The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund constituting
the Grantor Trust, consisting of the Class P Prepayment Charges, ownership of
the Group 1 Basis Risk Account by the Class 1-A-X Certificates (subject to the
obligation to pay Group 1 Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts) and the rights of
the Class 1-A-1 and Class 1-A-2 Certificates to receive Group 1 Basis Risk Carry
Forward Amounts shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Grantor Trust
shall be conducted so as to qualify such portion as a "grantor trust" under
subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code, and the provisions hereof shall
be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such
intention, the Master Servicer shall file or cause to be filed with the Internal
Revenue Service together with Form 1041 or such other form as may be applicable
and shall furnish or cause to be furnished, to the Class P, Class 1-A-X, Class
1-A-1 and Class 1-A-2 Certificateholders, the amounts described above that are
received, in the time or times and in the manner required by the Code.
Section 8.12 Periodic Filings. (a) With respect to each Distribution
Date, prior to the issuance of the related monthly statement to
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.04 (each, a "Distribution Date
Statement"), the Master Servicer shall confirm that it has received all
distribution and/or servicing information required to be provided to the Master
Servicer by each Servicer for inclusion in such Distribution Date Statement. In
the event the Master Servicer determines that any such information has not been
provided as required or is materially incorrect, the Master Servicer shall
immediately notify the applicable Servicer and use its reasonable best efforts
to cause the Servicer to provide or correct, as the case may be, such
information promptly (but in any event in time to permit the Master Servicer to
distribute the Distribution Date Statement at the time required in this
Agreement).
(b) Promptly upon receipt by the Master Servicer of (i) any
officer's certificate relating to any Servicer's annual compliance with the
terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement, (ii) any report of any Servicer's
independent public accountants relating to the Servicer's compliance with
servicing standards, as required under the applicable Servicing Agreement and
(iii) any report of the Master Servicer's independent public accountants
required pursuant to Section 3.22, the Master Servicer shall review such
officer's certificate and reports. As part of the Form 10-K required to be filed
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 8.12, the Master Servicer shall
include each such Servicer's annual statement of compliance (as well as any
annual statement of compliance of the Master Servicer required pursuant to
Section 3.21), and each such accountant's report, as well as a report of any
significant deficiencies relating to any Servicer's performance of its
obligations under the applicable Servicing Agreement.
(c) The Master Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the
Depositor to enable the Trust to satisfy its reporting requirements under the
Exchange Act. The Master Servicer shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any Forms
8-K (or other comparable required Form containing the same or comparable
information or other information mutually agreed upon) and 10-K customary for
similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, and the Master Servicer shall sign and file (via the
Securities and Exchange Commission's Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval
System) such forms on behalf of the Trust.
(d) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Master Servicer within 15
days after each Distribution Date and shall include a copy of the Distribution
Date Statement for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to March
30th of each year beginning in March 2006 (or such earlier date as may be
required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder), the Master Servicer shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as
required by applicable law or applicable Securities and Exchange Commission
staff's interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the annual
statements of compliance, the accountant's reports, any report of significant
deficiencies relating to any Servicer's performance of its obligations under the
applicable Servicing Agreement described in paragraph (b) of this Section 8.12
and any other exhibits that may be required as a result of any new rules adopted
by the Securities and Exchange Commission, in each case to the extent they have
been timely delivered to the Master Servicer. In accordance with the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, if such exhibits are
not so timely delivered, the Master Servicer shall (i) file the balance of the
Form 10-K, indicating on the cover page thereof which of such exhibits are
omitted, and (ii) no later than one Business Day after the due date for Form
10-K, file a Form 12b-25, notifying the Securities and Exchange Commission of
its inability to timely file all or any required portion of Form 10-K. No later
than the fifteenth calendar day after the due date for Form 10-K, the Master
Servicer shall, to the extent in its possession, file such exhibits with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. If the Master Servicer has not received such
exhibits by the tenth calendar day after such due date, the Master Servicer
shall notify the Depositor. The Master Servicer shall have no liability with
respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports
resulting from or relating to the Master Servicer's inability or failure to
obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct. Each Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit M or in such other form as may be required by
Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Exchange Act, as applicable, and any existing
or future directives or interpretations thereof or rules subsequently adopted by
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Certification"), which
Certification shall be signed by a Master Servicing Officer.
(e) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of such executed
report, statement or information.
(f) Prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Master
Servicer is able to do so under applicable law, the Master Servicer shall file a
Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust unless instructed in
writing by the Depositor not to do so.
ARTICLE IX
CONCERNING THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR
Section 9.01 Duties of Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator
shall undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically
set forth in this Agreement.
The Trust Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to the Trust Administrator that are specifically required
to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall examine them
to determine whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Trust Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy
or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report,
document, order or other instrument. If any such instrument is found not to
conform in any material respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trust
Administrator shall notify the Certificateholders of such non conforming
instrument in the event the Trust Administrator, after so requesting, does not
receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trust Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) the duties and obligations of the Trust Administrator shall be
determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trust
Administrator shall not be liable except for the performance of such
duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against
the Trust Administrator and the Trust Administrator may conclusively rely,
as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions
expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trust Administrator and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement
which it believed in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly
executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising
hereunder;
(ii) the Trust Administrator shall not be liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers of the Trust Administrator, unless it shall be conclusively
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, such determination no
longer subject to appeal, that the Trust Administrator was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) the Trust Administrator shall not be liable with respect to
any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not
less than 25% of the Voting Rights of Certificates relating to the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trust Administrator, or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust
or power conferred upon the Trust Administrator under this Agreement; and
(iv) the Trust Administrator shall not be accountable, shall have no
liability and makes no representation as to any acts or omissions
hereunder of the Master Servicer or the Trustee.
Section 9.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trust Administrator.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01:
(i) the Trust Administrator may request and conclusively rely upon
and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it
to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties and the Trust Administrator shall have no responsibility to
ascertain or confirm the genuineness of any signature of any such party or
parties;
(ii) the Trust Administrator may consult with counsel, financial
advisers or accountants and the advice of any such counsel, financial
advisers or accountants and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full
and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken
or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance
with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) the Trust Administrator shall not be liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it
by this Agreement;
(iv) the Trust Administrator shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates evidencing not
less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of
Certificates; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Trust Administrator of the costs, expenses or liabilities
likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the
opinion of the Trust Administrator, not reasonably assured to the Trust
Administrator by the security afforded to it by the terms of this
Agreement, the Trust Administrator may require reasonable indemnity
against such expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding. Nothing
in this clause (iv) shall derogate from the obligation of the Master
Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of
information regarding the Mortgagors;
(v) the Trust Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents or attorneys or a custodian and the Trust Administrator shall not
be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such
agent, attorney or custodian appointed by the Trust Administrator with due
care;
(vi) the Trust Administrator shall not be required to risk or expend
its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights
or powers hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in
this Agreement shall in any event require the Trust Administrator to
perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the
obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, except during
such time, if any, as the Trust Administrator shall be the successor to,
and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the
Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(vii) [reserved];
(viii) [reserved];
(ix) the Trust Administrator shall be under no obligation to
exercise any of the trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this
Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or
in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless
such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trust Administrator
reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trust Administrator
against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein
or thereby; and
(x) the Trust Administrator shall have no obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties
hereunder and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, that the Trust Administrator may in its
discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or
desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereto and the interests of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator
and the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses
and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be
expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Trust
Administrator shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the
Collection Account.
The Trust Administrator shall have no duty (A) to see to any
recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to
herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a
security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing
or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing thereof, (B) to
see to the provision of any insurance or (C) to see to the payment or discharge
of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance
of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the
Trust Fund other than from funds available in the Distribution Account.
Section 9.03 Trust Administrator Not Liable for Certificates or
Mortgage Loans. The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be
taken as the statements of the Depositor or the Transferor, as the case may be,
and the Trust Administrator assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The
Trust Administrator makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency
of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related
document other than with respect to the Trust Administrator's execution and
authentication of the Certificates. The Trust Administrator shall not be
accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or the Master Servicer
of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer in respect of the
Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the
Depositor or the Master Servicer.
Section 9.04 Trust Administrator May Own Certificates. The Trust
Administrator in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Certificates and may transact business with the parties hereto and
their Affiliates with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Trust
Administrator.
Section 9.05 Trust Administrator's Fees and Expenses. As
compensation for its activities hereunder, the Trust Administrator shall be
entitled to retain or withdraw from the Distribution Account an amount equal to
the Trust Administrator Compensation. The Trust Administrator and any director,
officer, employee, agent or "control person" within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange of 1934, as
amended ("Control Person"), of the Trust Administrator shall be indemnified by
the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including
reasonable attorney's fees) (i) incurred in connection with any claim or legal
action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b) the Mortgage Loans or (c) the
Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the
Trust Administrator's duties hereunder, (ii) incurred in connection with the
performance of any of the Trust Administrator's duties or the exercise of (or
failure to exercise) its rights hereunder, other than any loss, liability or
expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in
the performance of any of the Trust Administrator's duties hereunder, or (iii)
incurred by reason of any action of the Trust Administrator taken at the
direction of the Certificateholders, provided that any such loss, liability or
expense constitutes an "unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC" within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). Such indemnity shall
survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the
Trust Administrator hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, and except for
any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trust
Administrator's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or which would not
be an "unanticipated expense" within the meaning of the second preceding
sentence, the Trust Administrator shall be reimbursed by the Trust for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trust
Administrator in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement with
respect to: (A) the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements
of its counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance of the
Certificates, (B) the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of any
accountant, engineer, appraiser or other agent that is not regularly employed by
the Trust Administrator, to the extent that the Trust Administrator must engage
such Persons to perform acts or services hereunder and (C) printing and
engraving expenses in connection with preparing any Definitive Certificates. The

event, the Trustee shall assume all of the rights and obligations of the Trust
Administrator hereunder arising thereafter except that the Trustee shall not be

Administrator shall be given to each Rating Agency by the successor trust
administrator.

shall become effective and such successor trust administrator, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights,
powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like
effect as if originally named as trust administrator herein. The Depositor, the

execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably
be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
trust administrator all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor trust administrator shall accept appointment as
provided in this Section 9.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor trust administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
9.06 hereof and its appointment shall not adversely affect the then current
rating of the Certificates, as confirmed in writing by each Rating Agency.

Administrator hereunder, provided that such corporation or other entity shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06 hereof, without the execution or
filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Loans. (a) Subject to Section 10.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the
Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the
Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the
earlier of (i) the purchase in accordance with this Section 10.01, of all
Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the
later of (x) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the
disposition of all REO Property and (y) the distribution to Certificateholders
of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement.
The purchase of any Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 10.01(a) shall be at
the price equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate Clean-up Call Mortgage Loan
Price for all the related Mortgage Loans and (y) the aggregate Clean-up Call REO
Property Price for all the related REO Properties. In no event shall the trusts
created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the
survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the
United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof. The right
of the Master Servicer to elect to purchase Mortgage Loans pursuant to this
clause (a) shall be conditioned upon (i) in the case of the Mortgage Loans,
other than the Group 1 Mortgage Loans, the Aggregate Pool Principal Balance (not
including the Group 1 Mortgage Loans), at the time of any such purchase,
aggregating less than five percent (5%) of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans (other than the Group 1 Mortgage Loans), and (ii)
in the case of the Group 1 Mortgage Loans, the Aggregate Pool Principal Balance
of the Group 1 Mortgage Loans, at the time of any such purchase, aggregating
less than one percent (1%) of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of
the Group 1 Mortgage Loans.
(b) Within two (2) Business Days after the Master Servicer has
elected to purchase Mortgage Loans and terminate a portion of the Trust Fund
pursuant to Section 10.01(a), the Master Servicer shall deliver a bid notice for
the Mortgage Loans and such REO Properties to UBS Securities LLC and at least
two other institutions that are regular purchasers and/or sellers in the
secondary market of residential whole mortgage loans. The bid notice shall
specify the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties that are being sold, identify
the aggregate Clean-up Call REO Property Price required to be paid for such REO
Properties and the other information necessary for the bidders to make bids. The
Master Servicer shall also be entitled to submit a bid for the Mortgage Loans
and the REO Properties that are being sold. All bids must be submitted to the
Master Servicer on a date determined by the Master Servicer, which date shall be
set forth in the bid notice. Only cash bids may be accepted. With respect to the
Mortgage Loans to be purchased, if one or more bids that exceed the aggregate

Loans shall be equal to the price bid by the highest bidder, and such bidder
shall complete the purchase of the related Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties
from the Trust Fund at the aggregate Clean-up Call Mortgage Loan Price for such
Mortgage Loans and the aggregate Clean-up Call REO Property Price for such REO
Properties before the final Distribution Date for the related Certificates. With
respect to the Mortgage Loans to be purchased, if fewer than three bids are
received or no cash bid exceeds the aggregate of the Par Call Price for the
Mortgage Loans, the Fair Market Value Call Price shall be zero and the Master
Servicer shall complete the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and the REO
Properties from the Trust Fund at the aggregate Clean-up Call Mortgage Loan
Price for the Mortgage Loans and the aggregate Clean-up Call REO Property Price
for the REO Properties before the final Distribution Date for the related
Certificates.
Section 10.02 Final Distribution on the Certificates. If on any
Determination Date, the Master Servicer determines that there are no Outstanding
Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the
funds in the Collection Account, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trust
Administrator promptly to send a Notice of Final Distribution to each
Certificateholder. If the Master Servicer elects to terminate a portion of the
Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of Section 10.01, by purchasing certain
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties by no later than the 10th day of the month of
the expected final distribution, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor
and the Trust Administrator of the Distribution Date on which the Master
Servicer intends to terminate such portion of the Trust Fund; provided, however,
if the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer are not the same Person, then
such notice shall occur by no later than the 7th day of the month of the
expected final distribution for the related Certificates.
Notice of any termination of a portion of the Trust Fund, specifying
the Distribution Date on which the related Certificateholders may surrender
their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall
be given promptly by the Trust Administrator by letter to the related
Certificateholders mailed not later than the 10th day of the month of such final
distribution. Any such Notice of Final Distribution shall specify (a) the
Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the related Certificates will
be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein
designated, (b) the location of the office or agency at which such presentation
and surrender must be made, and (c) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to
such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon
presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office therein
specified. The Trust Administrator will give such notice to each Rating Agency
at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. In connection with any
such termination of a portion of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall cause
all funds in the Collection Account, including the Clean-up Call Mortgage Loan
Price and Clean-up Call REO Property Price for the related Mortgage Loans and
REO Properties, respectively, to be remitted to the Trust Administrator for

Mortgage Loans.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trust
Administrator shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each
Class, in the order set forth in Section 4.02 hereof, on the final Distribution
Date for the related Certificates, in proportion to their respective Percentage
Interests, with respect to Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal
to (i) as to each related Class of Regular Certificates, the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof plus accrued interest thereon (or on their Notional
Amount, in the case of the Interest-Only Certificates) and (ii) as to the
Residual Certificates, the amount, if any, that remains on deposit in the
Distribution Account (other than the amounts retained to meet claims) and (iii)
as to the Class 1-A-X Certificates, the amount, if any, that remains on deposit
in the Group 1 Basis Risk Account (other than the amounts retained to meet
claims) after application pursuant to clause (i) above.
In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not
surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date
specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Trust Administrator shall
give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender
their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with
respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the applicable
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust
Administrator may take reasonable steps, or may appoint an agent to take
reasonable steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the
funds and other assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC that remain subject hereto and
(i) the Class A-LR Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds
and other assets of Lower-Tier REMIC A and Lower-Tier REMIC B and (ii) the Class
A-R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets
of the Middle-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, in each case, that remain
subject hereto.

the a purchase option described in clause (a) of Section 10.01 is exercised,
Lower-Tier REMIC A or Lower-Tier REMIC B, as applicable, and upon the exercise

REMIC shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional
requirements, unless the Trust Administrator and the Trustee has been supplied
with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Master Servicer, to the effect
that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.03 will not
(i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" on the
Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, Lower-Tier REMIC B or Lower-Tier REMIC
A as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any such REMIC to fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
(i) The notice given by the Master Servicer under Section 10.02
shall provide that such notice constitutes the adoption of a plan of
complete liquidation of the REMICs as of the date of such notice (or, if
earlier, the date on which the first such notice is mailed to
Certificateholders). The Master Servicer shall also specify such date in a
statement attached to the final tax return of each of the Upper-Tier
REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, Lower-Tier REMIC A and Lower-Tier REMIC B;
and
(ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete
liquidation of the applicable Trust REMIC or Trust REMICs and at or prior
to the final Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall sell all of
the assets of the Trust Fund to the Master Servicer for cash at the
purchase price specified in Section 10.01 and shall distribute such cash
by the next Distribution Date after such adoption in the manner specified
in Section 10.02.

obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not
result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned
to the Certificates; it being understood and agreed that any such letter in and
of itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such
amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues
affecting any such rating. The Trust Administrator, Trustee, the Depositor, the
Transferor, the Custodian and the Master Servicer also may at any time and from
time to time amend this Agreement without the consent of the Certificateholders
to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be

maintain such qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition
of such a tax or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code.

pursuant to the second preceding paragraph) unless it shall have first received
an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trust Administrator and the Trustee,
which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee or
the Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment is permitted hereunder and
will not cause the imposition of any tax under the REMIC Provisions on any REMIC
or the Certificateholders or cause any of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier
REMIC, Lower-Tier REMIC A or Lower-Tier REMIC B to fail to qualify as a REMIC or
the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement
requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Trust Administrator shall
furnish written notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to
each Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
under this Section 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 Trust Administrator may prescribe.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trust Administrator to
enter into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the
Trust Administrator and the Trustee (which Opinion shall not be an expense of
the Trust Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the
Trust Administrator that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited
by this Agreement and that all requirements for amending this Agreement have
been complied with; and (ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect

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 11.04 Intention of Parties. It is the express intent of the
parties hereto that the conveyance of the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the
Trustee be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof to the Trustee. It is,

shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance provided for in
this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Depositor
to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a security
interest in all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund, whether now owned
or hereafter acquired.
The Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall, to
the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary
to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in
the Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected
security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained
as such throughout the term of the Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for
filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with
any security interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholder.

reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or

written consent of the Trustee and Depositor. Pursuant to Section 6.05, the
Master Servicer shall be permitted to pledge its rights as servicer hereunder to

requirements of Sections 6.04 and 7.02 hereunder shall have assumed the rights
and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder.
Section 11.08 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death

UBS Real Estate Securities Inc. (the "Transferor") hereby makes with
respect to those Mortgage Loans sold by it to the Depositor pursuant to the

(i) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule was true
and correct in all material respects at the date or dates respecting which
such information is furnished as specified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule;

herein, the Transferor was the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan
free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security
interests of any nature and has full right and authority to sell and
assign the same;
(iii) The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien
on the property therein described, and the Mortgaged Property is free and
clear of all encumbrances and liens having priority over the first lien of
the Mortgage except for liens for real estate taxes and special
assessments not yet due and payable and liens or interests arising under
or as a result of any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance
relating to hazardous wastes or hazardous substances, and, if the related
Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, any lien for common charges
permitted by statute or homeowners association fees; and if the Mortgaged
Property consists of shares of a cooperative housing corporation, any lien
for amounts due to the cooperative housing corporation for unpaid
assessments or charges or any lien of any assignment of rents or
maintenance expenses secured by the real property owned by the cooperative
housing corporation; and any security agreement, chattel mortgage or
equivalent document related to, and delivered to the Trustee or to the
Master Servicer with, any Mortgage establishes in the Transferor a valid
and subsisting first lien on the property described therein and the
Transferor has full right to sell and assign the same to the Trustee;
(iv) Neither the Transferor nor any prior holder of the Mortgage or
the related Mortgage Note has modified the Mortgage or the related
Mortgage Note in any material respect, satisfied, canceled or subordinated
the Mortgage in whole or in part, released the Mortgaged Property in whole
or in part from the lien of the Mortgage, or executed any instrument of
release, cancellation, modification or satisfaction, except in each case
as is reflected in an agreement delivered to the Trustee or the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 2.01;
(v) All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, and
water, sewer and municipal charges, which previously became due and owing
have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established, to the extent
permitted by law, in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item that

advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or
indirectly for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage, except
for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of
disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is later, to the day
which precedes by thirty days the first Due Date under the related
Mortgage Note;
(vi) The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by water, fire, earthquake
or other earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or similar casualty

best of the Transferor's knowledge, there is no proceeding pending or
threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged
Property;
(vii) The Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all mechanics' and
materialmen's liens or liens in the nature thereof; provided, however,

the Trustee by the Transferor;
(viii) Except for Mortgage Loans secured by co op shares and
Mortgage Loans secured by residential long term leases, the Mortgaged
Property consists of a fee simple estate in real property; all of the

obtained from the appropriate authorities;
(xi) Except with respect to 2 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 333274360
and 333344120 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), payments required to be made
up to but not including the Due Date immediately preceding the Cut-Off
Date for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the related Mortgage Note
have been made, and no payment under any Mortgage Loan has been 30 days
delinquent more than one time within twelve months prior to the Closing
Date;
(xii) The Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage and other agreements
executed in connection therewith are genuine, and each is the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance
with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors' rights generally and by general equity principles
(regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law); and, to the best of the Transferor's knowledge, all
parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to
execute the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and each Mortgage Note and
Mortgage has been duly and properly executed by the Mortgagor;
(xiii) All Mortgage Loans were originated in compliance with all
applicable laws, including, but not limited to, all applicable
anti-predatory lending laws.
(xiv) No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as
applicable, and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002
through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act. No
Mortgage Loan is covered by the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act
of 1994 and no Mortgage Loan is in violation of any comparable state or
local law;
(xv) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loans have been fully disbursed,
there is no requirement for future advances thereunder and any and all
requirements as to completion of any on site or off site improvements and
as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with
(except for escrow funds for exterior items which could not be completed
due to weather and escrow funds for the completion of swimming pools); and
all costs, fees and expenses incurred in making, closing or recording the
Mortgage Loan have been paid, except recording fees with respect to
Mortgages not recorded as of the Closing Date;
(xvi) The Mortgage Loan (except any Mortgage Loan secured by a
Mortgaged Property located in any jurisdiction, as to which an opinion of
counsel of the type customarily rendered in such jurisdiction in lieu of
title insurance is instead received) is covered by an American Land Title
Association mortgagee title insurance policy or other generally acceptable
form of policy or insurance acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac,
issued by a title insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac insuring
the originator, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien
of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and
subject only to (A) the lien of current real property taxes and
assessments not yet due and payable, (B) covenants, conditions and
restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record
as of the date of recording of such Mortgage acceptable to mortgage
lending institutions in the area in which the Mortgaged Property is
located or specifically referred to in the appraisal performed in
connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, (C) liens
created pursuant to any federal, state or local law, regulation or
ordinance affording liens for the costs of clean-up of hazardous
substances or hazardous wastes or for other environmental protection
purposes and (D) such other matters to which like properties are commonly
subject which do not individually, or in the aggregate, materially
interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the
Mortgage; the Transferor is the sole insured of such mortgagee title
insurance policy, the assignment to the Trustee of the Transferor's
interest in such mortgagee title insurance policy does not require any
consent of or notification to the insurer which has not been obtained or
made, such mortgagee title insurance policy is in full force and effect
and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the
Trustee, no claims have been made under such mortgagee title insurance
policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the
Transferor, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the
coverage of such mortgagee title insurance policy;
(xvii) The Mortgaged Property securing each Mortgage Loan is insured
by an insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac against loss by fire
and such hazards as are covered under a standard extended coverage
endorsement, in an amount which is not less than the lesser of 100% of the
insurable value of the Mortgaged Property and the outstanding principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan, but in no event less than the minimum amount
necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost
basis; if the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included
under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the project; if upon
origination of the Mortgage Loan, the improvements on the Mortgaged
Property were in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood
insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the
Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable
insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the
least of (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B)
the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property and (C) the maximum
amount of insurance which was available under the National Flood Insurance
Act of 1968, as amended; and each Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and
expense;
(xviii) To the best of the Transferor's knowledge, no foreclosure
action is currently threatened or has been commenced with respect to the
Mortgage Loan and the Transferor has not waived any default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration;
(xix) No Mortgage Note or Mortgage is subject to any right of
rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject it to any
right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense, including the
defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set off, counterclaim
or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;
(xx) Each Mortgage Note is payable in monthly payments;
(xxi) Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions
such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate
for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the
security, including realization by judicial foreclosure (subject to any
limitation arising from any bankruptcy, insolvency or other law for the
relief of debtors), and there is no homestead or other exemption available
to the Mortgagor which would interfere with such right of foreclosure;
(xxii) To the best of the Transferor's knowledge, no Mortgagor is a
debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;
(xxiii) Each Mortgaged Property consists of a one to four unit
residential property, which may include a detached home, townhouse,
condominium unit or a unit in a planned-unit development or, in the case
of Mortgage Loans secured by co op shares, leases or occupancy agreements;
(xxiv) The Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code;
(xxv) With respect to each Mortgage where a lost note affidavit has
been delivered to the Trustee in place of the related Mortgage Note, the
related Mortgage Note is no longer in existence;
(xxvi) In the event that the Mortgagor is an inter vivos "living"
trust, (i) such trust is in compliance with Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac
standards for inter vivos trusts and (ii) holding title to the Mortgaged
Property in such trust will not diminish any rights as a creditor
including the right to full title to the Mortgaged Property in the event
foreclosure proceedings are initiated;
(xxvii) If the Mortgage Loan is secured by a long term residential
lease, (1) the lessor under the lease holds a fee simple interest in the
land; (2) the terms of such lease expressly permit the mortgaging of the
leasehold estate, the assignment of the lease without the lessor's consent
and the acquisition by the holder of the Mortgage of the rights of the
lessee upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or provide
the holder of the Mortgage with substantially similar protections; (3) the
terms of such lease do not (a) allow the termination thereof upon the
lessee's default without the holder of the Mortgage being entitled to
receive written notice of, and opportunity to cure, such default or (b)
allow the termination of the lease in the event of damage or destruction
as long as the Mortgage is in existence; (4) the term of such lease does
not terminate earlier than five years after the maturity date of the
Mortgage Note; and (5) the Mortgaged Property is located in a jurisdiction
in which the use of leasehold estates in transferring ownership in
residential properties is a widely accepted practice;
(xxviii) The Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved by
the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203
and 211 of the National Housing Act, as amended, a savings and loan
association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance
company or similar institution which is supervised and examined by a
federal or state authority;
(xxix) The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the
underwriting guidelines of the related Loan Seller in effect at the time
of origination with exceptions thereto exercised in a reasonable manner;
(xxx) The Loan Seller used no adverse selection procedures in
selecting the Mortgage Loan from among the outstanding first-lien,
residential mortgage loans owned by it which were available for sale to
the Transferor;
(xxxi) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Transferor is in
possession of a complete Mortgage File except for the documents which have
been delivered to the Trustee or which have been submitted for recording
and not yet returned;
(xxxii) As of the Cut-off Date, the range of original Loan-to-Value
Ratios of the Mortgage Loans is 12.00% to 95.00%, and 66 Mortgage Loans,
representing 5.19% of the Cut-off Date Pool Balance, had Loan-to-Value
Ratios at origination in excess of 80%. Each such Mortgage Loan is subject
to a Primary Insurance Policy; and
(xxxiii) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Servicing
Agreement requires the related Servicer to deposit into the related
Protected Account an amount equal to all payments of principal and
interest on such Mortgage Loan that are delinquent at the close of
business on the related Determination Date and not previously advanced by
such Servicer. The obligation of such Servicer to advance such payments as
to such Mortgage Loan will continue through the final disposition or
liquidation of the Mortgaged Property, unless such Servicer deems such
advance to be nonrecoverable from liquidation proceeds, REO disposition
proceeds, condemnation proceeds or insurance proceeds with respect to such
Mortgage Loan.

Rate Mortgages Trust 2005-3, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein collectively called the "Certificates"),
and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by

The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that
it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for
payment hereunder and that the Trust Administrator is not liable to the
Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the
Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any
liability under the Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference
is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights,
benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Trust Administrator.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution 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 (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable 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 Holders of Certificates
of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date
pursuant to the Agreement.
Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder
shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in writing at least five Business
Days prior to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy
the conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or,
if not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such
Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final distribution
on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and
surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trust
Administrator or such other location specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the

at any time by the Transferor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Certificateholders
affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest, as
provided in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate
shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of
this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The 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 of the Trust Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trust
Administrator, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trust Administrator and the Certificate Registrar duly
executed by the holder hereof or such holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
in the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations 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
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

FORM OF TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT
MASTR ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGES TRUST 2005-3
Mortgage Asset Securitization Transactions, Inc.
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
Series 2005-3
1. The undersigned is an officer of _______, the proposed Transferee
of an Ownership Interest in a Class [A-LR] [A-UR] Certificate (the
"Certificate") issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as
of March 1, 2005 (the "Agreement") among Mortgage Asset Securitization
Transactions, Inc., as depositor, UBS Real Estate Securities Inc., as transferor
(the "Transferor"), Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as master servicer, trust
administrator and custodian (the "Master Servicer"), and JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein
or in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit
on behalf of the Transferee.
2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the
date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Certificate either (i) for its own account or (ii) as
nominee, trustee or agent for another Person and has attached hereto an
affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The
Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.
3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a
tax will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are
Disqualified Organizations; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or,
if such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) for a Person that is a Disqualified Organization, on the agent; and
(iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for
the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that
such subsequent Transferee is not a Disqualified Organization and, at the time
of Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax
will be imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any
time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is a
Disqualified Organization is the record holder of an interest in such entity.
The Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with
respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an
affidavit that such record holder is not a Disqualified Organization and the
pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false;
provided, that a pass-through entity which is an "electing large partnership"
under the Code will be subject to tax in all events. (For this purpose, a
"pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real estate
investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and
certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.) The Transferee further understands that it may incur tax liabilities
with respect to the holding of the Certificate in excess of cash flows generated
thereby.
5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of
the Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by
reference) and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an
Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the
restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the
Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and
to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands
and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall
render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any
Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trust Administrator a certificate
substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit I to the Agreement (a "Transferor
Certificate") to the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that
the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the
assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to
the Certificate. The Transferee historically has paid its debts as they have
become due and intends to do so in the future. The Transferee understands that
the taxable income and tax liability with respect to this Certificate will
exceed distributions with respect to the Certificate in some or all periods and
intends to pay all taxes with respect to the Certificate as they become due.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is __.
9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section
7701(a)(30) or is not a U.S. Person and has furnished the Transferor and the
Trust Administrator with a duly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI
or any applicable successor form.
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a
"noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of Treasury regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the
income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer
was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
11. The Transferee will not cause income with respect to the
Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed
base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee
or any other United States Person.
12. Check one of the following paragraphs:
[ ] The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with
holding the Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:
(i) the present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to acquire
such Certificate;
(ii) the present value of the expected future distributions on such
Certificate; and
(iii) the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding
such Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.
For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay tax
at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the
tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest
rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been subject
to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two
years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the
alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a
discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d)
of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the
Transferee.
[ ] The transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,
(i) the Transferee is an "eligible corporation," as defined in
U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to
which income from the Certificate will only be taxed in the
United States;
(ii) at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the
Transferee's two fiscal years preceding the year of the
transfer, the Transferee had gross assets for financial
reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person
related to the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100
million and net assets in excess of $10 million;
(iii) the Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another
"eligible corporation," as defined in U.S. Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that
satisfies the requirements of U.S. Treasury Regulations
Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section
1.860E-1(c)(5); and
(iv) the Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to
acquire the Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions
(including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment
rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and
reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific
to the Transferee) that it has determined in good faith.
[ ] None of the above.
13. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject
to Title I of ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a
plan subject to any federal, state or local law ("Similar Law") materially
similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code, and the Transferee is
not acting on behalf of such a plan.
* * *
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be
executed on its behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by
its duly authorized officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed,
duly attested, this ____________ day of __________________, 200_.

Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement
Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership
Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights
of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are
expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trust
Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on
the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trust Administrator shall
not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the
certificates required to be delivered to the Trust Administrator under
subparagraph (b) above, the Trust Administrator shall have been furnished with
an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of the initial owner or the proposed
transferee (other than the Depositor of an affiliate thereof) in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit H.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any
other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for
whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any
Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual
knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c)
shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported
transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c), then the
last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder
thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual
Certificate. The Trust Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person
for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not
permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments
due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the
Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit,
Transferor Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter.
The Trust Administrator shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any
Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at
the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than
a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and
after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trust
Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Trust Administrator to the last
preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon
receipt of written request from the Trust Administrator, all information
necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a
result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any
Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee described in clauses (i) through (iv)
of the definition thereof.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this
Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend
on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring
after delivery to the Trust Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to
the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and the Master Servicer, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Transferor or the Master Servicer, to the effect that the
elimination of such restrictions will not cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result
in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another
Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on
an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, is
reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any
beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or
indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide
for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a
Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted
Transferee.
