ARTICLE II
CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;
ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
SECTION 2.01 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,
does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee
without recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders all the right, title
and interest of the Depositor, including any security interest therein for the
benefit of the Depositor, in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule, the rights of the Depositor under the Assignment
Agreements, payments made to the Trust Administrator by the Cap Administrator
under the Cap Administration Agreement and the Cap Account, and all other assets
included or to be included in REMIC I. Such assignment includes all interest and
principal received by the Depositor or the Servicer on or with respect to the
Mortgage Loans (other than payments of principal and interest due on such
Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date). The Depositor herewith delivers
to the Trustee executed copies of the Assignment Agreements, and the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator acknowledge receipt of the same on behalf of the
Certificateholders.
In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor does
hereby deliver to, and deposit with, the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf,
the following documents or instruments (a "Mortgage File") with respect to each
Mortgage Loan so transferred and assigned:
(i) The Mortgage Note, endorsed by manual or facsimile signature
without recourse by the related Originator or an Affiliate of the related
Originator in blank or to the Trustee showing a complete chain of
endorsements from the named payee to the Trustee or from the named payee
to the Affiliate of the related Originator and from such Affiliate to the
Trustee;
(ii) The original recorded Mortgage, noting the presence of the MIN
of the Mortgage Loan, if applicable, and language indicating that the
Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, with
evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage certified by the
public recording office in those jurisdictions where the public recording
office retains the original;
(iii) Unless the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS(R) System,
an assignment from the related Originator or an Affiliate of the related
Originator to the Trustee in recordable form of the Mortgage which may be
included, where permitted by local law, in a blanket assignment or
assignments of the Mortgage to the Trustee, including any intervening
assignments and showing a complete chain of title from the original
mortgagee named under the Mortgage to the Person assigning the Mortgage
Loan to the Trustee (or to MERS, noting the presence of the MIN, if the
Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS(R) System);
(iv) Any original assumption, modification, buydown or
conversion-to- fixed-interest-rate agreement applicable to the Mortgage
Loan; and
52
(v) The original or a copy of the title insurance policy (which may
be a certificate or a short form policy relating to a master policy of
title insurance) pertaining to the Mortgaged Property, or in the event
such original title policy is unavailable, a copy of the preliminary title
report and the lender's recording instructions, with the original to be
delivered within 180 days of the Closing Date or an attorney's opinion of
title in jurisdictions where such is the customary evidence of title.
In instances where an original recorded Mortgage cannot be delivered
by the Depositor to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) prior
to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, due to a
delay in connection with the recording of such Mortgage, the Depositor may, (a)
in lieu of delivering such original recorded Mortgage referred to in clause (ii)
above, deliver to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) a copy
thereof, provided that the Depositor certifies that the original Mortgage has
been delivered to a title insurance company for recordation after receipt of its
policy of title insurance or binder therefor (which may be a certificate
relating to a master policy of title insurance), and (b) in lieu of delivering
the completed assignment in recordable form referred to in clause (iii) above to
the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), deliver such assignment
to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) completed except for
recording information. In all such instances, the Depositor will deliver the
original recorded Mortgage and completed assignment (if applicable) to the
Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) promptly upon receipt of such
Mortgage. In instances where an original recorded Mortgage has been lost or
misplaced, the Depositor or the related title insurance company may deliver, in
lieu of such Mortgage, a copy of such Mortgage bearing recordation information
and certified as true and correct by the office in which recordation thereof was
made. In instances where the original or a copy of the title insurance policy
referred to in clause (vi) above (which may be a certificate relating to a
master policy of title insurance) pertaining to the Mortgaged Property relating
to a Mortgage Loan cannot be delivered by the Depositor to the Trustee (or a
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) prior to or concurrently with the execution
and delivery of this Agreement because such policy is not yet available, the
Depositor may, in lieu of delivering the original or a copy of such title
insurance referred to in clause (vi) above, deliver to the Trustee (or a
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) a binder with respect to such policy (which
may be a certificate relating to a master policy of title insurance) and deliver
the original or a copy of such policy (which may be a certificate relating to a
master policy of title insurance) to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of
the Trustee) within 180 days of the Closing Date, in instances where an original
assumption, modification, buydown or conversion-to-fixed- interest-rate
agreement cannot be delivered by the Depositor to the Trustee (or a Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee) prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, the Depositor may, in lieu of delivering the original of such
agreement referred to in clause (iv) above, deliver a certified copy thereof.
To the extent not already recorded, except with respect to any
Mortgage Loan for which MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly
recorded assignment of the Mortgage as the mortgagee of record, the Servicer, at
the expense of the Sponsor shall promptly (and in no event later than five
Business Days following the later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by
the Servicer of the recording information for a Mortgage) submit or cause to be
submitted for recording, at no expense to any Trust REMIC, in the appropriate
public office for real property records, each Assignment delivered to it
pursuant to (iii) above. In the event that any such Assignment is lost or
returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Servicer, at
53
the expense of the Sponsor, shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a
substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may
be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, but without limiting the requirement that such
Assignments be in recordable form, neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall be
required to submit or cause to be submitted for recording any Assignment
delivered to it or a Custodian pursuant to (iii) above if such recordation shall
not, as of the Closing Date, be required by the Rating Agencies, as a condition
to their assignment on the Closing Date of their initial ratings to the
Certificates, as evidenced by the delivery by the Rating Agencies of their
ratings letters on the Closing Date; provided, however, notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Servicer shall submit each Assignment for recording, at no
expense to the Trust Fund or the Servicer, upon the earliest to occur of: (A)
reasonable direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the
Voting Rights, (B) the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, (C) the
occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Sponsor,
(D) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 of this
Agreement and (E) with respect to any one Assignment the occurrence of a
foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Sponsor fails to pay the cost of recording
the Assignments, such expense will be paid by the Servicer and the Servicer
shall be reimbursed for such expenses by the Trust as Servicing Advances.
In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on
the MERS System, the Depositor further agrees that it will cause, within 30
Business Days after the Closing Date, the MERS System to indicate that such
Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Depositor to the Trustee in accordance
with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including in
such computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific
Trustee and (b) the code in the field "Pool Field" which identifies the series
of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Depositor
further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Servicer to, and the
Servicer agrees that it will not and will not permit a Sub-Servicer to, alter
the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during
the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
With respect to a maximum of approximately 5.00% of the Original
Mortgage Loans, by outstanding principal balance of the Original Mortgage Loans
as of the Cut-off Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in (i) above
cannot be located, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents
shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the Trustee (or a Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee) of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with
a lost note affidavit. If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost
note affidavit was delivered to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee) is subsequently located, such original Mortgage Note shall be delivered
to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) within three Business
Days.
The Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or a
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) promptly upon receipt thereof any other
original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect
to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents
evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any
Mortgage Loan.
54
All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not
delivered to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) are and shall
be held by or on behalf of the Sponsor, the Depositor or the Servicer, as the
case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. In the event that any such original document is required
pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such
document shall be delivered promptly to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of
the Trustee). Any such original document delivered to or held by the Depositor
that is not required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a
Mortgage File, shall be delivered promptly to the Servicer.
Wherever it is provided in this Section 2.01 that any document,
evidence or information relating to a Mortgage Loan be delivered or supplied to
the Trustee, the Depositor shall do so by delivery thereof to the Trustee or a
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee.
The parties hereto understand and agree that it is not intended that
any Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust that is a high-cost home loan as
defined by the Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or any other
applicable predatory or abusive lending laws.
The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under the Cap Contract on the Closing Date and
thereafter on behalf of the Trust and the Holders of the Floating Rate
Certificates. The Sponsor, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator
and the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates by their acceptance of such
Certificates acknowledge and agree that the Trustee shall execute, deliver and
perform the Trust Fund's obligations under the Cap Contract and shall do so
solely in its capacity as Trustee of the Trust Fund and not in its individual
capacity. The Trustee shall not have any responsibility for the contents,
adequacy or sufficiency of the Cap contract, including, without limitation, any
representations and warranties contained therein.
SECTION 2.02 Acceptance of the Trust Fund by the Trustee.
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any
exceptions noted on an exception report delivered by or on behalf of the
Trustee, the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents referred to in
Section 2.01 (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(iv)) above and
all other assets included in the definition of "Trust Fund" and declares that it
holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it
constituting the Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets
and such other assets included in the definition of "Trust Fund" in trust for
the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt,
subject to the review described in the succeeding sentence, of the documents and
other property referred to in Section 2.01 and declares that the Trustee (or a
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) holds and will hold such documents and other
property, including property yet to be received in the Trust Fund, in trust,
upon the trusts herein set forth, for the benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. The Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf shall,
for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, review each Mortgage
File within 90 days after execution and delivery of this Agreement, to ascertain
that all required documents have been executed, received and recorded, if
applicable, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans. If in the
55
course of such review the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf finds a
document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be defective in
any material respect, the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf shall
promptly so notify the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Sponsor, the
Servicer and, if such notice is from the related Custodian on the Trustee's
behalf, the Trustee. In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties made by the related Originator or the Sponsor in
the related Assignment Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which
materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related
Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and
transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the
related Mortgage Notes and the related documents, conveying good title thereto
free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee
in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and that such property not be
part of the Depositor's estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any
insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be,
or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor
shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee a first
priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and
interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the
related documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement
under applicable law.
The Trustee may, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof
or at any time thereafter, enter into a custodial agreement with a Custodian
pursuant to which the Trustee appoints a Custodian to hold the Mortgage Files on
behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Trustee and all present and future
Certificateholders, which may provide that the related Custodian shall, on
behalf of the Trustee, conduct the review of each Mortgage File required under
the first paragraph of this Section 2.02. Initially, Citibank West, FSB is
appointed as Custodian with respect to the related Mortgage Files of all the
related Mortgage Loans and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it
is understood that such initial Custodian shall be responsible for the review
contemplated in the second paragraph of this Section 2.02 and for all other
functions relating to the receipt, review, reporting and certification provided
for herein with respect to the Mortgage Files (other than ownership thereof for
the benefit of the Certificateholders and related duties and obligations set
forth herein).
SECTION 2.03 Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans
by the Sponsor or the Depositor.
(a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice by the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee of any materially defective
document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the
breach by the Originator or the Sponsor of any representation, warranty or
covenant under an Assignment Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which
materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest
therein of the Certificateholders, the party so discovering or receiving notice
shall promptly notify the other parties to this Agreement, and the Trustee
thereupon shall promptly notify the related Originator and the Sponsor of such
defect, missing document or breach and request that the related Originator
deliver such missing document or cure such defect or that the
56
related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, cure such breach within 90
days from the date the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, was
notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the related
Originator or Sponsor, as applicable, does not deliver such missing document or
cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the
Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the related Originator or Sponsor, as
applicable, under the related Assignment Agreement (i) to repurchase such
Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the date
on which the Sponsor was notified (subject to Section 2.03(e)) of such missing
document, defect or breach, and (ii) to indemnify the Trust Fund in respect of
such missing document, defect or breach, in the case of each of (i) and (ii), if
and to the extent that the related Originator or Sponsor, as applicable, is
obligated to do so under the related Assignment Agreement. The Purchase Price
for the repurchased Mortgage Loan and any indemnification shall be remitted by
the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, to the Servicer for
deposit into the Collection Account, and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt
of written notice from the Servicer of such deposit, shall give written notice
to the Trustee and the related Custodian that such deposit has taken place and
the Trustee shall release (or cause the related Custodian to release on its
behalf) to the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, the related
Mortgage File, and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, shall furnish
to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the related Originator or the
Sponsor, as applicable, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall have no further responsibility with
regard to such Mortgage File. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the related
Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, is not a member of MERS and
repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is registered on the MERS System, the related
Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, pursuant to the related Assignment
Agreement at its own expense and without any right of reimbursement, shall cause
MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to
transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the related Originator or the Sponsor, as
applicable, and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the
MERS System in accordance with MERS rules and regulations. In lieu of
repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the
related Assignment Agreement the related Originator or the Sponsor, as
applicable, may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in which
case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 2.03(d). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of
the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, to cure or to repurchase
(or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a
material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach
has occurred and is continuing, and if and to the extent provided in the related
Assignment Agreement to perform any applicable indemnification obligations with
respect to any such omission, defect or breach, as provided in such Assignment
Agreement, shall constitute the only remedies respecting such omission, defect
or breach available to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator on behalf of the
Certificateholders.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.03,
with respect to any breach by the related Originator or the Sponsor, as
applicable, of any representation and warranty which breach materially and
adversely affects the value of any Prepayment Charge or the interests of the
Certificateholders therein, the Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the
related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, to remedy such breach as
provided in the related
57
Assignment Agreement as follows: upon any Principal Prepayment with respect to
the affected Mortgage Loan, the related Originator or the Sponsor, as
applicable, shall pay or cause to be paid to the Purchaser the excess, if any,
of (x) the amount of such Prepayment Charge calculated as set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule and (y) the amount collected from the Mortgagor in
respect of such Prepayment Charge.
(c) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or
receipt of notice by the Depositor of the breach of any representation, warranty
or covenant of the Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan,
the Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.
(d) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for
Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior
to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.
As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the related Originator or
the Sponsor, as applicable, substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the related Originator or the
Sponsor, as applicable, delivering to the Trustee (or to the related Custodian
on behalf of the Trustee, as applicable), for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment in blank or to
the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary
endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with an
Officers' Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall
Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The
related Custodian on its behalf and on behalf of the Trustee shall, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, review each Mortgage File within 90 days
after execution and delivery of this Agreement, to ascertain that all required
documents have been executed, received and recorded, if applicable, and that
such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans. If in the course of such review the
Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf finds a document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be defective in any material respect,
the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf shall promptly so notify the
Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the related Originator, the Sponsor and the
Servicer. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the Trust Fund and will be
retained by the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable. For the month
of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly
Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month
of substitution, and the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, shall
thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Trust Administrator shall give or cause to be
given written notice to the Trustee and the Certificateholders that such
substitution has taken place, and the Trust Administrator shall amend or cause
the related Custodian to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal
of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the
substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, upon
receipt thereof, shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to
the Servicer. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all
respects to the terms of this Agreement and the related Assignment Agreement
(including all
58
applicable representations and warranties thereof included in such Assignment
Agreement), in each case as of the date of substitution.
For any month in which the related Originator or the Sponsor, as
applicable, substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one
or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (the
"Substitution Shortfall Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price
of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof as
of the date of substitution, together with one month's interest on such
Scheduled Principal Balance at the applicable Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate. On
the date of such substitution, the Trustee will monitor the obligation of the
related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, to deliver or cause to be
delivered, and shall request that such delivery be to the Servicer for deposit
in the Collection Account, an amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount,
if any, and the Trustee (or the related Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as
applicable), upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans and written notice given by the Servicer of such deposit, shall release to
the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, the related Mortgage File
or Files and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as
the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, shall deliver to it and as
shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto.
In addition, the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable,
shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will
not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any Trust REMIC, including
without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under
Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after the startup date"
under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the related Assignment
Agreement, the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall obtain at
its own expense and deliver to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any
federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any
federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(I) of the
Code or on "contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(I) of
the Code or (b) any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificate is outstanding. If such Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered,
then such substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion
of Counsel can be given.
(e) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a
"qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the
party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice
thereof to the other parties to this Agreement, and the Trustee shall give
written notice thereof to the Sponsor. In connection therewith, the related
Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, pursuant to the related Assignment
Agreement or the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement shall repurchase or,
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage
59
Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with
respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be
made by (i) the related Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, if the
affected Mortgage Loan's status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a
breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the related
Originator or the Sponsor, as applicable, under the related Assignment Agreement
or (iii) the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan's status as a
non-qualified mortgage is a breach of no representation or warranty. Any such
repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in
Sections 2.03(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor, the related
Originator or the Sponsor, as the case may be, the Mortgage Loan to be released
pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it
would a Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Originator or the Sponsor for breach of
a representation or warranty.
SECTION 2.04 [Reserved].
SECTION 2.05 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the
Servicer.
(a) The Servicer hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the
Trust Administrator and the Trustee, for the benefit of each of the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator, the Certificateholders and to the Depositor that as of the
Closing Date or as of such date specifically provided herein:
(i) The Servicer is a national banking association duly
formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
United States of America and is duly authorized and qualified to

breach or violation of any indenture or other agreement or
instrument, or subject to or in violation of any statute, order or
regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01 Servicer to Act as Servicer.
The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on
behalf of the Trustee and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans
and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which it
services and administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving
due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of prudent
mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but
without regard to:
(i) any relationship that the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any
Affiliate of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the related
Mortgagor;
(ii) the ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer or any
Affiliate of the Servicer;
(iii) the Servicer's obligation to make P&I Advances or Servicing
Advances; or
(iv) the Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's right to receive
compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any particular
transaction.
To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer (a) shall seek
the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes
and (b) shall waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only
under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary in
servicing similar Mortgage Loans and such waiver relates to a default or a
reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the
Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of
such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the collection of
such Prepayment Charge would be in violation of applicable laws or (iii) the
amount of the Prepayment Charge set forth on the Prepayment Charge Schedule is
not consistent with the related Mortgage Note or is otherwise unenforceable. If
a Prepayment Charge is waived as permitted by meeting the standard described in
clauses (ii) or (iii) above, then, the Trustee shall make commercially
reasonable efforts to attempt to enforce the obligations of the related
Originator under the Master Agreement to pay the amount of such waived
Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates;
provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take
any action pursuant to this paragraph unless directed by the Depositor and
provided, further, the Depositor hereby agrees to assist the Trustee in
enforcing any obligations of any Originator to repurchase or substitute for a
Mortgage Loan which has breached a representation or warranty under the related
Assignment Agreement. If the Trustee makes a good faith determination as
evidenced by an officer's certificate delivered by the Trustee to the Trust
Administrator, that the Servicer's efforts are not reasonably expected to be
successful in enforcing such rights, it shall
65
notify the Trust Administrator of such failure and the Trust Administrator, with
the cooperation of the Servicer, shall enforce the obligation of the related
Originator under the Master Agreement to pay to the Servicer the amount of such
waived Prepayment Charge. If such Originator fails to pay the amount of such
waived Prepayment Charge in accordance with its obligations under the related
Master Agreement, the Trustee, Trust Administrator, the Servicer and the
Depositor shall consult on further actions to be taken against such Originator.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Trustee and the related
Originator are the same entity, the Trust Administrator shall enforce the
obligations of the related Originator under the related Master Agreement
pursuant to the terms of this paragraph.
To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer shall also
seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on
the Mortgage Notes. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and
the terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Servicer
shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as
provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in
connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or
desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its
own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by
the Trustee when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in
accordance with the servicing standards set forth above, to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, and upon notice to the
Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial
or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure
proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the
ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such
properties, on behalf of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Servicer shall
service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state
and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be
provided to them thereby. The Servicer shall also comply in the performance of
this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of any standard hazard
insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, the Trustee shall execute, at the
written request of the Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer and any
Sub-Servicer such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative
duties hereunder, and the Trustee hereby grants to the Servicer a power of
attorney to carry out such duties. The Trustee shall not be liable for the
actions of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of attorney.
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the
Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the
purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the
Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing Advances reimbursable in
the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to
Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the
Servicer or by Sub-Servicers in effecting the timely payment of taxes and
assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose of calculating
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of
the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan
so permit provided, however, that (subject to Section 3.07) the Servicer may
capitalize the amount of any Servicing Advances incurred pursuant to this
Section 3.01 in connection with the modification of a Mortgage Loan.
66
The Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on
behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name
of the Sub-Servicer, when the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be,
believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on
the MERS System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan
on the MERS System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and
other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of
a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its
successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses (i) incurred as a result of MERS
discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with the
MERS System or (ii) if the affected Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the
judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, incurred in
connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence, shall be
subject to withdrawal by the Servicer from the Collection Account.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan
(except as provided in Section 4.03) and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any
modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan (except with respect to a
Mortgage Loan that is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such
default is reasonably foreseeable) that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce
or increase the principal balance (except for reductions resulting from actual
payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan
or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage
Loan that would both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan
under Section 1001 of the Code (or final, temporary or proposed Treasury
regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on "prohibited
transactions" or "contributions after the startup date" under the REMIC
Provisions.
The Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this Agreement;
provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the Servicer from the
responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.02 Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Servicer and
Sub-Servicers.
(a) The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements (provided
that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by the
Rating Agencies of the rating on any Class of Certificates) with Sub-Servicers,
for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans; provided, however,
such sub-servicing arrangement and the terms of the related Sub-Subservicing
Agreement must provide for the servicing of Mortgage Loans in a manner
consistent with the servicing arrangement contemplated hereunder.
(b) Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business
in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to
service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable
the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the
Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved
67
mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer
requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide
for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
The Servicer will examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with
the terms thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be
inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the
Sub-Servicers may enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements
or enter into different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however,
that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not
violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or
different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected
to be materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, without the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting
Rights. Any variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in
Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing
Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub- Servicing Accounts or the timing
and amount of remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Servicer, are conclusively
deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator copies of all
Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly
upon the Servicer's execution and delivery of such instruments.
(c) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer
(except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the
benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations
of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including,
without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent
payments as required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including,
without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of
Sub-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
Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner
of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of such
enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a
general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that
such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans,
or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against
the party against whom such enforcement is directed.
SECTION 3.03 Successor Sub-Servicers.
The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any
Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all
servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by
the Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the
Servicer, and the Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage
Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor
Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such
agreement may be immediately terminated by the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator without fee, in
68
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Servicer
shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including termination due to a
Servicer Event of Default).
SECTION 3.04 Liability of the Servicer.
Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions
of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer
and a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or
otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the
Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without
diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing
Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer
and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the
Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer
shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub- Servicer for
indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing contained in
this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
SECTION 3.05 No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers
and Trustee, Trust Administrator or
Certificateholders.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer
in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the
Servicer alone, and the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the
Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer
except as set forth in Section 3.06. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all
fees owed by it to any Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Servicer's
compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.
SECTION 3.06 Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing
Agreements by Trust Administrator.
In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default),
the Trust Administrator or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights
and obligations of the Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the
Servicer may have entered into, unless the Trust Administrator elects to
terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided
in Section 3.03. Upon such assumption, the Trust Administrator, its designee or
the successor servicer for the Trust Administrator appointed pursuant to Section
7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the
Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the Servicer as a party to each
Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement
had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Servicer shall not
thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any Sub-Servicing
Agreement and (ii) none of the Trust Administrator, its designee or any
successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation
of the Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer.
69
The Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trust
Administrator, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating
to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and
an accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise
use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-
Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.
SECTION 3.07 Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments
called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to
the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms
and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such collection
procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the
Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing and
the servicing standards set forth in Section 3.01, the Servicer may in its
discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, penalty interest
or (ii) extend the due dates for Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a
period of not greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to
clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage
Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the
event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Servicer shall
make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to
Section 4.03 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage
Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default
or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the
Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may waive,
modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that
change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend
the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related
Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final
satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan (such payment, a "Short Pay-off") or consent
to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor, if in the Servicer's determination such waiver,
modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the
interests of the Certificateholders (taking into account any estimated Realized
Loss that might result absent such action); provided, however, the Servicer
shall not modify any Mortgage Loan in a manner that would capitalize the amount
of any unpaid Monthly Payments or tax or insurance payments advanced by the
Servicer on the Mortgagor's behalf unless the related Mortgagor shall have
remitted an amount equal to a full Monthly Payment (or, in the case of any
Mortgage Loan subject to a forbearance plan or bankruptcy plan, a full modified
monthly payment under such plan) in each of the three calendar months
immediately preceding the month of such modification.
SECTION 3.08 Sub-Servicing Accounts.
In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to
establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Sub-Servicing
Account"). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall
comply with all requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection
Account. The Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no
event more than two Business Days after the Sub-Servicer's receipt thereof, all
proceeds of Mortgage
70
Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation to the extent
permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Sub-Servicer shall thereafter
remit such proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not
later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the
Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be
deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer
receives such payments.
SECTION 3.09 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar
Items; Servicing Accounts.
To the extent the terms of a Mortgage provide for Escrow Payments,
the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the "Servicing
Accounts"), into which all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances
from Sub-Servicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, fire, flood, and
hazard insurance premiums, hazard insurance proceeds (to the extent such amounts
are to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property) and comparable
items for the account of the Mortgagors ("Escrow Payments") shall be deposited
and retained. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall
deposit in the Servicing Accounts on a daily basis and in no event later than
the second Business Day after receipt, and retain therein, all Escrow Payments
collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting the
timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement.
Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect
timely payment of taxes, assessments, fire, flood, and hazard insurance
premiums, and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Servicer out of related
collections for any advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to
taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with respect to fire, flood and hazard
insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be
overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors
on balances in the Servicing Account; or (v) clear and terminate the Servicing
Account at the termination of the Servicer's obligations and responsibilities in
respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article
IX. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors
interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to
the extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is
insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any
reimbursement therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be
obligated to collect Escrow Payments if the related Mortgage Loan does not
require such payments but the Servicer shall nevertheless be obligated to make
Servicing Advances as provided in Section 3.01. In the event the Servicer shall
deposit in the Servicing Accounts any amount not required to be deposited
therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Servicing Accounts,
any provision to the contrary notwithstanding.
To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments,
the Servicer (i) shall determine whether any such payments are made by the
Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that is necessary to avoid the loss of the
Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax
lien and (ii) shall ensure that all insurance required to be maintained on the
Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Agreement is maintained. If any such payment
has not been made and the Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to
the Mortgage Loan being imposed, the Servicer will, to the extent required to
avoid loss of the Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be advanced funds
necessary to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property. The Servicer assumes
full responsibility for the payment of all such
71
bills and shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the
Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the
Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances from its own funds to effect
such payments.
SECTION 3.10 Collection Account and Distribution Account.
(a) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish and
maintain one or more separate, segregated trust accounts (such account or
accounts, the "Collection Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust
Fund, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing
account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily
deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its
mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than
two Business Days after the Servicer's receipt thereof, and shall thereafter
deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more than one Business Day after
the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, as and when received or as
otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or
made by it from and after the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal
or interest on the related Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date), or
payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the
Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments (but not Prepayment Charges), on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest (the related Servicing Fee)
on each Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other than
proceeds collected in respect of any particular REO Property and amounts
paid by the Servicer in connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and
REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01);
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12
in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments with
respect to funds held in the Collection Account;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to
the second paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any blanket policy
deductibles;
(vi) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in
accordance with Section 2.03 or Section 9.01;
(vii) all amounts required to be deposited in connection with
shortfalls in principal amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
pursuant to Section 2.03; and
(viii) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer and any
Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts in connection with the
Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans.
72
For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Cut-off Date
with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be the
date of substitution.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts
shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges or
assumption fees (other than Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by the
Servicer in the Collection Account. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in
the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may
at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trust Administrator, as agent
for the Trustee, shall establish and maintain one or more separate, segregated
trust accounts (such account or accounts, the "Distribution Account"), held in
trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund,
the Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator in immediately available
funds for deposit in the Distribution Account on or before 4:00 p.m. New York
time (i) on the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available
Distribution Amount (calculated without regard to the subtraction therefrom of
the Credit Risk Manager Fee) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit
in the Collection Account, the amount of all Prepayment Charges collected during
the applicable Prepayment Period by the Servicer and Servicer Prepayment Charge
Payment Amounts in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the
Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the Collection Account and (ii) on each
Business Day as of the commencement of which the balance on deposit in the
Collection Account exceeds $75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the
next succeeding sentence, the amount of such excess, but only if the Collection
Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the
definition of "Eligible Account." If the balance on deposit in the Collection
Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day
and the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to
clause (ii) of the definition of "Eligible Account," the Servicer shall, on or
before 4:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the
Collection Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Depositor,
the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Sponsor or any
Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons
entitled thereto.
(c) Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set
forth in Section 3.12. The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and the Depositor of the location of the Collection Account
maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. The Trust
Administrator shall give notice to the Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor
of the location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any
change thereof.
(d) Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may be
delivered by the Servicer to the Trust Administrator for deposit in an account
(which may be the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards for the
Distribution Account as set forth in the definition thereof) and for all
purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of the Collection
Account; provided, however, that the Trust Administrator shall have the sole
authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant to this subsection (d). In the
event the Servicer shall deliver to
73
the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not
required to be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Trust
Administrator withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it
any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In
addition, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator from time to
time for deposit, and upon written notification from the Servicer, the Trust
Administrator shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:
(i) any P&I Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.03;
(ii) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
3.23(d) or (f) in connection with any REO Property;
(iii) any amounts to be paid by the Servicer in connection with a
purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01;
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24
in connection with any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls; and
(v) any Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the federal bankruptcy
court having jurisdiction in such matters.
(e) Promptly upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from the
Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy, or federal bankruptcy court or other source,
the Trust Administrator shall deposit such funds in the Distribution Account,
subject to withdrawal thereof as permitted hereunder.
(f) The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12(b) in connection with
losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the
Collection Account.
SECTION 3.11 Withdrawals from the Collection Account and
Distribution Account.
(a) The Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the
Collection Account for any of the following purposes or as described in Section
4.03:
(i) to remit to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account the amounts required to be so remitted pursuant to
Section 3.10(b) or permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the first
sentence of Section 3.10(d);
(ii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Servicer for P&I
Advances, but only to the extent of amounts received which represent Late
Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of Monthly Payments on
Mortgage Loans with respect to which such P&I Advances were made in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03;
(iii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer (A) any unpaid Servicing Fees, (B) any unreimbursed Servicing
Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of any
Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds
74
or other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from a Mortgagor, or
otherwise received with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (C) without
limiting any right of withdrawal set forth in clause (vi) below, any
Servicing Advances made with respect to a Mortgage Loan that, following
the final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances, but
only to the extent that Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and
Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are
insufficient to reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for such
Servicing Advances;
(iv) to pay to the Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition
to the Servicing Fee) on the Servicer Remittance Date any interest or
investment income earned on funds deposited in the Collection Account;
(v) to pay to the Servicer, the Depositor or the Sponsor, as the
case may be, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously been
purchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03 all amounts received
thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or substitution, as the case
may be;
(vi) to reimburse the Servicer for any P&I Advance or Servicing
Advance previously made which the Servicer has determined to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03;
(vii) to reimburse the Servicer or the Depositor for expenses
incurred by or reimbursable to the Servicer or the Depositor, as the case
may be, pursuant to Section 6.03;
(viii) to reimburse the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee, as the case may be, for expenses reasonably incurred in respect
of the breach or defect giving rise to the purchase obligation under
Section 2.03 or Section 2.04 of this Agreement that were included in the
Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising out of
the enforcement of the purchase obligation;
(ix) [reserved];
(x) to pay, or to reimburse the Servicer for advances in respect of
expenses incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section
3.16(b); and
(xi) to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 9.01.
The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of
it, pursuant to subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) above.
The Servicer shall provide written notification to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator, on or prior to the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, upon
making any withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (vii)
above.
(b) The Trust Administrator shall, from time to time, make
withdrawals from the Distribution Account, for any of the following purposes,
without priority:
75
(i) to make distributions to the Cap Account in accordance with
Section 4.08;
(ii) to make distributions to Certificateholders in accordance with
Section 4.01;
(iii) to pay to itself any interest income earned on funds deposited
in the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.12(c);
(iv) to reimburse the Trust Administrator or the Trustee pursuant to
Section 7.02;
(v) to pay any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to
10.01(g)(iii);
(vi) to pay any Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses;
(vii) to reimburse the Trust Administrator or the Trustee for any
P&I Advance made by it under Section 7.01 (if not reimbursed by the
Servicer) to the same extent the Servicer would be entitled to
reimbursement under Section 3.11(a);
(viii) to pay the Credit Risk Manager the Credit Risk Manager Fee;
and
(ix) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant to
Section 9.01.
SECTION 3.12 Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and
the Distribution Account.
(a) The Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining
the Collection Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, an "Investment
Account"), and the Trust Administrator may at the direction of the Depositor
direct any depository institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for
purposes of this Section 3.12, also an "Investment Account"), to hold the funds
in such Investment Account uninvested or to invest the funds in such Investment
Account in one or more Permitted Investments specified in such instruction
bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand,
(i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such
funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement,
if a Person other than the Trust Administrator is the obligor thereon, and (ii)
no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from
such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trust Administrator is the
obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity,
unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall
be made in the name of the Trust Administrator (in its capacity as such) or in
the name of a nominee of the Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator shall
be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to investment direction of
funds held in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account and any income
and gain realized thereon) over each such investment, and any certificate or
other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to
the Trust Administrator or its agent, together with any document of transfer
necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trust Administrator or its
nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any
time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trust
Administrator shall:
76
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder,
demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted
Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser
of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to
be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon
determination by a Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator that
such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in
respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.
(b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer, shall
be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in
accordance with Section 3.11. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection
Account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such
Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon
realization of such loss.
(c) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Distribution Account held by or on behalf of the Trust
Administrator, shall be for the benefit of the Trust Administrator and shall be
subject to its withdrawal at any time. The Trust Administrator shall deposit in
the Distribution Account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect
of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately
upon realization of such loss.
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or
if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted
Investment, the Trust Administrator may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section
8.02(a)(v), upon the request of the Holders of Certificates representing more
than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take
such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance,
including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
SECTION 3.13 [Reserved].
SECTION 3.14 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors and
Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.
(a) The terms of each Mortgage Note require the related Mortgagor to
maintain fire, flood and hazard insurance policies. To the extent such policies
are not maintained, the Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgaged
Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the
area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least
equal to the lesser of the current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and
the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the
improvements which are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis, in
each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the
application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance
policy. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire and hazard insurance
on each REO Property with extended coverage as is customary in the area
77
where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to
the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a
part of such property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property. The Servicer will comply in
the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of
each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the
Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts
to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the
Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject to
the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be
deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.11, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject
to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO
Property. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance
shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders,
be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit; provided,
however, that the Servicer may capitalize the amount of any Servicing Advances
incurred pursuant to this Section 3.14 in connection with the modification of a
Mortgage Loan. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other
additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to
such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as
shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO
Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the
Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect
thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i)
the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum
amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the
national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged
Property is located is participating in such program).
In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket
policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:VI or better in
Best's Key Rating Guide insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage
Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set
forth in the first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and
agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the
Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the
related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two
sentences of this Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses
which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account
from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy
because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as
administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare
and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the
Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in
accordance with the terms of such policy.
(b) The Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this
Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for
failure in the performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement,
which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the
requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the
Mortgage Loans, unless the Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements
from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall each also maintain a fidelity
bond in the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac, unless the Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements
from
78
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with
this provision if an Affiliate of the Servicer, has such errors and omissions
and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or
fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any
such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be
cancelable without thirty days' prior written notice to the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator.
SECTION 3.15 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance
or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by
absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor
remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage),
exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the
"due-on-sale" clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the
Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so.
If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce
such "due-on-sale" clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the
proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter into an
assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such
property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such
person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by
applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is also
authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person,
pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such
person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage
Note, provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person
satisfies the then current underwriting criteria of the Servicer for mortgage
loans similar to the Mortgage Loans. In connection with any assumption or
substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow
such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general
mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned
solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and
modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the
circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued
effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy. Any fee collected by
the Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement
will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In
connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note
(including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the
Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required
pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been
completed by forwarding to the Trust Administrator on behalf of the Trustee the
executed original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which document
shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be
considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other
documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.
79
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of
this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any
other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a
Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any
assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any
reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term "assumption" is
deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the
Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
SECTION 3.16 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Servicer shall, consistent with the servicing standard set
forth in Section 3.01, foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the
ownership of 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 pursuant to Section 3.07. The Servicer shall
be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such
proceedings; provided, however, that such costs and expenses will be recoverable
as Servicing Advances by the Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11 and
Section 3.23. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in
which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the
Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of
such property unless it shall determine in its discretion that such restoration
will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after
reimbursement to itself for such expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.16 or
any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to
which the Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of,
the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged
Property, the Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain
title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action
with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action,
the Trustee, the Trust Fund, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer or the
Certificateholders would be considered to hold title to, to be a
"mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an "owner" or "operator" of such
Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time,
or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also previously determined, based
on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared by a Person who regularly
conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards, that:
(1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to
bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and
(2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged
Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or
petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required
under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any
such
80
materials are present for which such action could be required, that
it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take
such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this
Section 3.16 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's right
to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section
3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the
best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary
to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund. The cost of any such compliance, containment,
cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the
Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as
provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the
rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account
received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
(c) The Servicer shall have the right to purchase from REMIC I any
defaulted Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more delinquent, which the Servicer
determines in good faith will otherwise become subject to foreclosure
proceedings (evidence of such determination to be delivered in writing to the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator prior to purchase), at a price equal to the
Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder
shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trust Administrator, upon
receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall
release or cause to be released to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and
the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer
of such deposit, shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Servicer shall furnish and as
shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto.
(d) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery
Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of
Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan,
will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and
P&I Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii) or (a)(iii)(B); second, to accrued
and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery
Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such
amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery
Determination; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If
the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount
of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such
recovery will be allocated by the Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid
Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of
81
the interest then due and owing. The portion of the recovery so allocated to
unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii)(A).
SECTION 3.17 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by
the Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a
manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the
related Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, by a Request for Release in the
form of Exhibit E (which certification shall include a statement to the effect
that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment
which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.10 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request
that the related Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to it the Mortgage
File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the related Custodian, on
behalf of the Trustee, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the
Servicer, and the Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the
registration on the MERS(R) System of any such Mortgage, if applicable, and to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any
of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial
or full release. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of
satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection
Account or the Distribution Account.
The Trustee (or a Custodian on its behalf) shall, at the written
request and expense of any Certificateholder, provide a written report to such
Certificateholder of all Mortgage Files released to the Servicer for servicing
purposes.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the related Custodian, on
behalf of the Trustee, shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the
related Custodian and the Trustee of a Request for Release in the form of
Exhibit E, release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the related
Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, at the direction of the Servicer,
execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such
proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return each
and every document previously requested from the Mortgage File to the related
Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the
Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the
Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File
or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or
other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing
legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property
either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered to the
related Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, a certificate of a Servicing
Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such
Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such
delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such
Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the
Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become
an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the
related Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to the Servicer.
82
(c) Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee
shall execute and deliver to the Servicer any court pleadings, requests for
trustee's sale or other documents reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or
trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought
to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to
obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights
provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in
equity. Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or
documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such
documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof
by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage,
except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or
trustee's sale.
SECTION 3.18 Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the
Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage
Loan payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan,
subject to Section 3.24. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to recover
unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds to the
extent permitted by Section 3.11(a)(iii)(A) and out of amounts derived from the
operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23.
The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in
part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees,
late payment charges and other similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment
Charges) shall be retained by the Servicer (subject to Section 3.24) only to the
extent such fees or charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer shall
also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection
Account, and pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as
additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits
therein, subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The Servicer shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing
activities hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by Section
3.14, to the extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a
Sub-Servicer, servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer, and to the extent
provided herein in Section 8.05, the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except
as specifically provided herein.
SECTION 3.19 Reports to the Trust Administrator; Collection
Account Statements.
Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the
Servicer shall forward to the Trust Administrator, upon the request of the Trust
Administrator, a statement prepared by the Servicer setting forth the status of
the Collection Account as of the close of business on the last day of the
calendar month relating to such Distribution Date and showing, for the period
covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals
from the Collection Account of each category of deposit specified in Section
3.10(a) and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.11. Such
statement may be in the form of the then current Xxxxxx Xxx Monthly Accounting
Report for its Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Program
83
with appropriate additions and changes, and shall also include information as to
the aggregate of the outstanding principal balances of all of the Mortgage Loans
as of the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding such Distribution
Date. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trust Administrator to
any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trust Administrator as
a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon the request and at the expense
of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to
the Trust Administrator.
SECTION 3.20 Statement as to Compliance.
The Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator, on or before
March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2007, an Officers' Certificate (an
"Annual Statement of Compliance") stating, as to each signatory thereof, that
(i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar
year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers'
supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such
review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement
in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a failure
to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such
failure known to such officer and the nature and status of cure provisions
thereof. The Servicer shall deliver, or cause any Sub-Servicer to deliver, a
similar Annual Statement of Compliance by any Sub-Servicer to which the Servicer
has delegated any servicing responsibilites with respect to the Mortgage Loans,
to the Trust Administrator as described above as and when required with respect
to the Servicer.
If the Servicer cannot deliver the related Annual Statement of
Compliance by March 15th of such year, the Trust Administrator, at its sole
option, may permit a cure period for the Servicer to deliver such Annual
Statement of Compliance, but in no event later than March 20th of such year.
Failure of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.20,
which continues unremedied for ten (10) calendar days after the date on which
the Annual Statement of Compliance was required to be delivered, shall be deemed
an Event of Default, and upon the receipt of written notice from the Trust
Administrator of such Event of Default, the Trustee may at the direction of the
Depositor, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this
Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and
specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same;
PROVIDED that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement expressly
provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination
of the Servicer, such provision shall be given effect. This paragraph shall
supercede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the
contrary.
The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Trust Administrator and their officers, directors and Affiliates from and
against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and
expenses that such Person may sustain based upon a breach of the Servicer's
obligations under this Section 3.20.
84
SECTION 3.21 Assessments of Compliance and Attestation Reports.
(a) The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with all applicable requirements of the Servicing Criteria (as set
forth in Exhibit C hereto). The Servicer shall deliver to the Trust
Administrator on or before March 1st of each calendar year beginning in 2007,
the following:
(i) a report (an "Assessment of Compliance") regarding the
Servicer's assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the
immediately preceding calendar year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and
15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Such report
shall be signed by an authorized officer of the Servicer, and shall
address each of the Servicing Criteria set forth in Exhibit C hereto;
(ii) a report (an "Attestation Report") of a registered public
accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Depositor that attests to,
and reports on, the assessment of compliance made by the Servicer and
delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph. Such attestation shall be
in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
(iii) cause each Sub-Servicer, and each subcontractor determined by
the Servicer to be "participating in the servicing function" within the
meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver an Assessment of
Compliance and Attestation Report as and when provided in paragraphs (i)
and (ii) of this Section 3.21(a).
(iv) a statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are
not applicable to the Servicer, which statement shall be based on the
activities it performs with respect to asset-backed securities
transactions taken as a whole involving the Servicer, that are backed by
the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans.
(b) The Servicer shall, or shall cause any Sub-Servicer and each
subcontractor determined by the Servicer to be "participating in the servicing
function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB to, deliver to the
Trust Administrator and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and
Attestation Report as and when provided above.
Such Assessment of Compliance, as to any Sub-Servicer, shall at a
minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto
which are indicated as applicable to any "primary servicer." Notwithstanding the
foregoing, as to any subcontractor, an Assessment of Compliance is not required
to be delivered unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the
Trust Fund.
If the Servicer cannot deliver any Assessment of Compliance or
Attestation Report by March 1st of such year, the Trust Administrator, at its
sole option, may permit a cure period for the Servicer to deliver such
Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report, but in no event later than March
15th of such year.
Failure of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.21
shall be deemed a Servicer Event of Default, and upon the receipt of written
notice from the Trust Administrator of such Event of Default, the Trustee at the
direction of the Depositor may, in addition to whatever
85
rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to
damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice
immediately terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this
Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without
compensating the Servicer for the same; provided, however, the Depositor shall
not be entitled to instruct the Trustee to terminate the rights and obligations
of the Servicer pursuant to clause (iii) above if a failure of the Servicer to
identify a subcontractor "participating in the servicing function" within the
meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable solely to the role or
functions of such subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other than the
Mortgage Loans. This paragraph shall supercede any other provision in this
Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
The Trust Administrator shall also provide an Assessment of
Compliance and Attestation Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a
minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto
which are indicated as applicable to the "trust administrator."
The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and the
Trust Administrator and their officers, directors and Affiliates from and
against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and
expenses that such Person may sustain based upon a breach of the Servicer's
obligations, as applicable, under this Section 3.21. The Trust Administrator
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors and
Affiliates from and against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses that such Person may sustain based upon any failure
of the Trust Administrator to deliver when required its Assessment of
Compliance.
SECTION 3.22 Access to Certain Documentation.
The Servicer shall provide to the Office of the Controller of the
Currency, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC, and any other federal or
state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over
any Certificateholder, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded
without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business
hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to
the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and
regulations will be provided to such Certificateholder, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and to any Person identified to the Servicer as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate subject to the execution of a confidentiality
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the servicer, upon reasonable
request during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated
by it at the expense of the Person requesting such access. Nothing in this
Section 3.22 shall derogate from the obligation of any such party to observe any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors
and the failure of any such party to provide access as provided in this Section
as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section
3.22.
86
SECTION 3.23 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
(a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall be
taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of
the Certificateholders. The Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall either
sell any REO Property before the close of the third taxable year following the
year the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or request from the Internal Revenue Service, no
later than 60 days before the day on which the above three-year grace period
would otherwise expire, an extension of the above three-year grace period,
unless the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator
and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by the Trust
Fund of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third taxable year
after its acquisition will not result in the imposition on the Trust Fund of
taxes on "prohibited transactions" thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the
Code, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under Federal law
at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Servicer shall manage,
conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders
solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does
not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any
Trust REMIC of any "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of
Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any "net income from foreclosure property"
which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.
(b) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart
from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with
respect to REO Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders (the "REO Account"), which shall be an
Eligible Account. The Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection
Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO
Property. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest
income paid on funds deposited in the REO Account.
(c) The Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only
to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and
all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner
in which the Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the
Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the
Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection
therewith, the Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing
account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily
deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its
mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than
two Business Days after the Servicer's receipt thereof, and shall thereafter
deposit in the REO Account, in no event more than one Business Day after the
deposit of such funds into the clearing account, all revenues received by it
with respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for
the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property including,
without limitation:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO
Property;
87
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO
Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO
Property.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with
respect to an REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in
clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer
shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes
if, but only if, the Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the
REO Property and if in the Servicer's judgment, the payment of such amounts will
be recoverable from the rental or sale of the REO Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee shall:
(i) authorize the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New
Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will
give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) authorize any amount to be received or accrued under any New
Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(iii) authorize any construction on any REO Property, other than the
completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if
more than ten percent of the construction of such building or other
improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan
became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the
Code; or
(iv) authorize any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on
any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the Trust
Fund;
unless, in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel,
provided to the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, to the effect that such
action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure
property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that
it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the Servicer may take such actions
as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
The Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the
operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be
inconsistent herewith;
(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to
require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO
Property, including those listed above and remit all related revenues (net
of such costs and expenses) to the Servicer as soon as
88
practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the receipt
thereof by such Independent Contractor;
(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating to any
such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor
shall be deemed to relieve the Servicer of any of its duties and
obligations to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders with
respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and
(iv) the Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the
same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in
connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.
The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any
Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and
obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such Independent
Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify
such indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by
it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the Servicer's
compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees.
(d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.23(c),
the Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any
REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid Servicing Fees in
respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any
Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and P&I Advances made in
respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. Any income from the
related REO Property received during any calendar months prior to a Final
Recovery Determination, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c)
or this Section 3.23(d), shall be withdrawn by the Servicer from each REO
Account maintained by it and remitted to the Trust Administrator for deposit
into the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the
Servicer Remittance Date relating to a Final Recovery Determination with respect
to such Mortgage Loan, for distribution on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 4.01.
(e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.23(a),
and further subject to obtaining the approval of the insurer under any related
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (if and to the extent that such approvals are
necessary to make claims under such policies in respect of the affected REO
Property), each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such
price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer shall deem necessary or
advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its general servicing activities for
similar properties.
(f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount
required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan
and net of any payment or reimbursement to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as
provided above, shall be remitted to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Servicer
Remittance Date in the month following the receipt thereof for distribution on
the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO
89
Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made
subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).
(g) The Servicer shall file information returns with respect to the
receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports of
foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of
indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by
Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code, respectively. Such reports shall be
in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by
such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
SECTION 3.24 Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.
The Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit
into the Distribution Account on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on the
Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds (or from a Sub-Servicer's own funds
received by the Servicer in respect of Compensating Interest) an amount equal to
the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the
related Distribution Date resulting from full or partial Principal Prepayments
during the related Prepayment Period and (ii) the applicable Compensating
Interest Payment.
SECTION 3.25 Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of Monthly
Payments.
In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with
respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to
Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were made by
the Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage
Note and this Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice
thereof, immediately shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor and any successor servicer in respect of any such
liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or discharge of this
Agreement. If amounts paid by the Servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan
pursuant to this Section 3.25 are subsequently recovered from the related
Mortgagor, the Servicer shall be permitted to reimburse itself for such amounts
paid by it pursuant to this Section 3.25 from such recoveries.
SECTION 3.26 Advance Facility.
(a) Either (i) the Servicer or (ii) the Trust Administrator,
on behalf of the Trust Fund, with the consent of and at the direction of the
Servicer, is hereby authorized to enter into a facility with any Person which
provides that such Person (an "Advancing Person") may fund P&I Advances and/or
Servicing Advances to the Trust Fund under this Agreement, although no such
facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the Servicer's obligation to fund such
P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances. If the Servicer enters into such an
Advance Facility pursuant to this Section 3.26, upon reasonable request of the
Advancing Person, the Trust Administrator shall execute a letter of
acknowledgment, confirming its receipt of notice of the
90
existence of such Advance Facility. If the Trust Administrator enters into such
an Advance Facility pursuant to this Section 3.26, the Servicer shall also be a
party to such Advance Facility. To the extent that an Advancing Person funds any
P&I Advance or any Servicing Advance and provides the Trust Administrator with
notice acknowledged by the Servicer that such Advancing Person is entitled to
reimbursement, such Advancing Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement
pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to the extent provided in Section
3.26(b). Such notice from the Advancing Person must specify the amount of the
reimbursement, the Section of this Agreement that permits the applicable P&I
Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed and the section(s) of the Advance
Facility that entitle the Advancing Person to request reimbursement from the
Trust Administrator, rather than the Servicer, and include the Servicer's
acknowledgment thereto or proof of an Event of Default under the Advance
Facility. The Trust Administrator shall have no duty or liability with respect
to any calculation of any reimbursement to be paid to an Advancing Person and
shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advancing
Person's notice provided pursuant to this Section 3.26. An Advancing Person
whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of P&I Advances and/or
Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the qualifications of a
Servicer or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof and will not be
deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement.
(b) If an advancing facility is entered into, then the Servicer
shall not be permitted to reimburse itself therefor under Section 3.11(a)(ii),
Section 3.11(a)(iii) and Section 3.11(a)(vi) prior to the remittance to the
Trust Fund, but instead the Servicer shall include such amounts in the
applicable remittance to the Trust Administrator made pursuant to Section
3.11(a). The Trust Administrator is hereby authorized to pay to the Advancing
Person, reimbursements for P&I Advances and Servicing Advances from the
Distribution Account to the same extent the Servicer would have been permitted
to reimburse itself for such P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances in
accordance with Section 3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii) and Section
3.11(a)(vi), as the case may be, had the Servicer itself funded such P&I Advance
or Servicing Advance. The Trust Administrator is hereby authorized to pay
directly to the Advancing Person such portion of the Servicing Fee as the
parties to any advancing facility agree in writing.
(c) All P&I Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a "first
in-first out" (FIFO) basis.
(d) Any amendment to this Section 3.26 or to any other provision of
this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an
Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.26, including
amendments to add provisions relating to a successor servicer, may be entered
into by the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Servicer without the
consent of any Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement.

(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after
the end of the related Interest Accrual Period.
(iii) Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of
Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the
failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on
such date, be set aside and held in trust by the Trust
98
Administrator and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering
Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given
pursuant to this Section 4.01(e) shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice,
the Trust Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust Administrator
shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates and shall continue to hold any remaining funds for the
benefit of non-tendering Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of

shall be paid out of the assets remaining in such trust fund. If within
one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall pay to
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. all such amounts, and all rights of
non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon
cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on
any amount held in trust by the Trust Administrator as a result of such
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final
payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(e).
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no event

the Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as
permitted by this Section 4.03, used by the
103
Servicer in discharge of any such P&I Advance) or (iii) in the form of any
combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be
made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Any amounts held for
future distribution used by the Servicer to make a P&I Advance as permitted in
the preceding sentence shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer's
records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or
before any future Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the Available
Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard
to P&I Advances to be made on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than
the total amount that would be distributed to the Certificateholders pursuant to
Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future
distributions had not been so used to make P&I Advances. The Trust Administrator
will provide notice to the Servicer by telecopy by the close of business on the
Business Day prior to the Distribution Date in the event that the amount
remitted by the Servicer to the Trust Administrator on such date is less than
the P&I Advances required to be made by the Servicer for the related
Distribution Date.
(c) The obligation of the Servicer to make such P&I Advances is
mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to
(d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall
continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the
removal thereof from the Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this
Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance
or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if
such P&I Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively.
The determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance
or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance or
Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by a
certification of a Servicing Officer delivered to the Trust Administrator
(whereupon, upon receipt of such certification, the Trust Administrator shall
forward a copy of such certification to the Depositor, the Trustee and the
Credit Risk Manager). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following the
application of Liquidation Proceeds on any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of
a Final Recovery Determination, any Servicing Advance with respect to such
Mortgage Loan shall remain unreimbursed to the Servicer, then without limiting
the provisions of Section 3.11(a), a certification of a Servicing Officer
regarding such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall not be required to be
delivered by the Servicer to the Trust Administrator.
SECTION 4.04 Allocation of Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses
and Realized Losses.
(a) Prior to each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine as
to each Mortgage Loan and REO Property: (i) the total amount of Realized Losses,
if any, incurred in connection with any Final Recovery Determinations made
during the related Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and the extent to which such
Realized Losses constituted Bankruptcy Losses; and (iii) the respective portions
of such Realized Losses allocable to interest and allocable to principal. Prior
to each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall also determine as to each Mortgage
Loan: (A) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection
with any Deficient
104
Valuations made during the related Prepayment Period; and (B) the total amount
of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions
in respect of Monthly Payments due during the related Due Period. The
information described in the two preceding sentences that is to be supplied by
the Servicer shall be either included in the related Remittance Report or
evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trust Administrator and
the Trustee by the Servicer prior to the Determination Date immediately
following the end of (x) in the case of Bankruptcy Losses allocable to interest,
the Due Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred, and (y) in the
case of all other Realized Losses, the Prepayment Period during which any such
Realized Loss was incurred.
(b) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by
the Trust Administrator on each Distribution Date as follows: first, to the
Interest Distribution Amount for the Class CE Certificates for the related
Interest Accrual Period; second, to payments received under the cap contract,
third, to the Class CE Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance
thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-11 Certificates, until
the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, fifth, to
the Class M-10 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero, sixth, to the Class M-9 Certificates until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Class M-8

to zero; eighth, to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the Class M-6 Certificates,
until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; tenth,
to the Class M-5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero; eleventh, to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; twelfth, to the
Class M-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero; thirteenth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero and fourteenth,
to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero.
All Realized Losses to be allocated to the Certificate Principal
Balances of all Classes on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the
actual distributions to be made on such date as provided above. All references
above to the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates shall be
to the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class immediately prior to the
relevant Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses, in
each case to be allocated to such Class of Certificates, on such Distribution
Date.
Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate on any
Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance
thereof by the amount so allocated and any allocation of Realized Losses to a
Class CE Certificates shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in
respect thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(3). No allocations of any Realized
Losses shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A
Certificates or the Class P Certificates.
(c) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by
the Trust Administrator on each Distribution Date to the following REMIC I
Regular Interests in the specified percentages, as follows: first, to
Uncertificated Interest payable to the REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA and REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount equal
105
to the REMIC I Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively;

REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM10 and REMIC I
Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated
Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM10 has been reduced to zero; fifth, to
the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM9 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM9 has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM8 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance
of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM8 has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the

I-LTM7 has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM6 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance
of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM6 has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM5 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM5 has been reduced to zero; tenth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM4 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance
of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM4 has been reduced to zero; eleventh, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM3 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM3 has been reduced to zero; twelfth, to the Uncertificated Balances of
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM2 and REMIC I
Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated
Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM2 has been reduced to zero and
thirteenth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA,
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM1 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and

I-LTM1 has been reduced to zero.
The REMIC I Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of all Realized Losses
shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each Distribution
Date first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Balance of each REMIC I Regular
Interest ending with the designation "GRP" equal to 0.01% of the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans; second, to each REMIC I Regular
Interest ending with the designation "SUB," so that the Uncertificated Balance
of each such REMIC I Regular Interest is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans over (y) the current
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificate (except that if any
such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the
least amount of Realized Losses shall be applied to such
106
REMIC I Regular Interests such that the REMIC I Subordinated Balance Ratio is
maintained); and third, any remaining Realized Losses shall be allocated to
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTXX.
SECTION 4.05 Compliance with Withholding Requirements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trust
Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting
payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the
Trust Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The
consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the
event the Trust Administrator does withhold any amount from interest or original
issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to
federal withholding requirements, the Trust Administrator shall indicate the
amount withheld to such Certificateholders.
SECTION 4.06 Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall
establish and maintain a separate, segregated trust account titled, "Net WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account, Citibank, N.A., as Trust Administrator, in trust
for the registered holders of Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust, Asset-Backed
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-WFHE1."
(b) On each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator has been
directed by the Class CE Certificateholders to, and therefore shall, deposit
into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, any Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amounts for such Distribution Date, rather than distributing such amounts to the
Class CE Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the Trust
Administrator shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the
Floating Rate Certificates, and shall distribute the aggregate Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount, if any, for such Distribution Date from the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account to the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates in
the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(g).
On each Distribution Date, after the payment of any Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amounts on the Floating Rate Certificates, any amounts remaining in
the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, shall be payable to the Trust
Administrator as additional compensation to it, subject to the immediately
following paragraph.
(c) For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE
Certificateholders shall be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account and all amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC II to
the Holder of the Class CE Interest and by REMIC III to the Holder of the Class
CE Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or the payment in full
of the Floating Rate Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net
WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be released by the Trust Fund and
distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders or their designees. The Net WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be part of the Trust Fund but not part of
any Trust REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Floating Rate
Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect
to a "regular interest" in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section
860(G)(a)(1).
107
(d) By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE
Certificateholder hereby agrees to direct the Trust Administrator, and the Trust
Administrator is hereby is directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account the amounts described above on each Distribution Date rather
than distributing such amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. By accepting
a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder further agrees that such
direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.
(e) All amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account shall remain uninvested.
(f) For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of
the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates to receive payments from the Net
WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amount shall be assigned a value of zero.
SECTION 4.07 Commission Reporting.

unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, March 31st
of each year thereafter, the Trust Administrator shall, subject to subsection
(d) below, file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or
applicable Commission staff's interpretations and conforming to industry

include the information in the applicable report is subject to receipt from the
entity that is indicated in Exhibit B as the responsible party for providing
that information, if other than the Trust Administrator, as and when required as
described above. The Depositor hereby agrees to notify and provide to the Trust
Administrator all information that is required to be included in any Form 10-D,
Form 8-K or Form 10-K, with respect to which that entity is indicated in Exhibit
B as the responsible party for providing that information. The Servicer shall be
responsible for determining the pool concentration applicable to any
Sub-Servicer at any time, for purposes of disclosure as required by Items 1117
and 1119 of Regulation AB. The Depositor shall be responsible for determining
the pool concentration applicable to any originator at any time, for purposes of
disclosure as required by Items 1117 and 1119 of Regulation AB. In addition, in

(b) In addition, (x) the Trust Administrator shall sign a
certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H-2) for the benefit of
the Depositor and its officers, directors
109
and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of the Certification (the "Trust

the Trust Administrator and included in a Form 10-D or Form 10-K from

111
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01 The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire
beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets
included in the Trust Fund. At the Closing Date, the aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance of the Certificates will equal the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto
as Exhibits A-1 through A-6. The Certificates of each Class will be issuable in
registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as
described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share ratably in all
rights of the related Class.
Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed,
authenticated and delivered by the Trust Administrator to or upon the order of
the Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed and attested by manual or
facsimile signature on behalf of the Trust Administrator by an authorized
signatory. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Trust Administrator
shall bind the Trust Administrator, notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the execution, authentication
and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of
such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate
a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided herein
executed by the Trust Administrator by manual signature, and such certificate of
authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
(b) The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be issued as one or
more Certificates held by Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold such
Certificates as provided below, the Depository and registered in the name of the
Depository or its nominee and, except as provided below, registration of such
Certificates may not be transferred by the Trust Administrator except to another
Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate
Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their
respective Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates through the
book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided below, shall not
be entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates ("Definitive
Certificates") in respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers by
Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the
Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner.
Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests in the
Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage
firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's normal
procedures. The Trust Administrator is hereby initially appointed as the
Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and
in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing it
to act as such. The Book-Entry
112
Custodian may, and if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry
Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor,
the Servicer and the Trust Administrator and any other transfer agent (including
the Depository or any successor Depository) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under
such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository or
any successor Depository may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book-Entry
Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by
reason of any such appointment of other than the Depository. If the Trust
Administrator resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the
successor Trust Administrator or, if it so elects, the Depository shall
immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The
Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any
Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.
The Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer and the Depositor
may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry
Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the
Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes
of exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of
Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited
to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and
the Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate
Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as
Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter
shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different
Certificate Owners. The Trust Administrator may establish a reasonable record
date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by
Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.
If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trust Administrator in writing
that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default,
Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the
Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trust
Administrator through the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a
book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of
the Certificate Owners, the Trust Administrator shall notify all Certificate
Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the
same. Upon surrender to the Trust Administrator of the Book- Entry Certificates
by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as applicable, accompanied by
registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the
Trust Administrator shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Such Definitive
Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $25,000, except that any
beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry Certificate in an
amount less than $25,000 immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive
Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination equal to the amount
represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Trust Administrator nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by
the Trust Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect to such
113
Definitive Certificates, and the Trust Administrator shall recognize the Holders
of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
SECTION 5.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
(a) The Trust Administrator shall cause to be kept at one of the
offices or agencies to be appointed by the Trust Administrator in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.12 a Certificate Register for the Certificates
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trust
Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of
transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
(b) No transfer of any Private Certificate shall be made unless that
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and effective registration
or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a
transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the
event that such a transfer of a Private Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification (other than in connection with (i) the initial
transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the
Depositor or, in the case of the Residual Certificates, the first transfer by an
Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or
Residual Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee
or indenture trustee administrator under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of
any such Class CE, Class P or Residual Certificate from the issuer under the
Indenture or the indenture trustee or indenture trustee administrator under the
Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor), the Trustee shall
require receipt of: (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance
upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and from such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached
hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration
(which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer, in its capacity
as such, or any Sub-Servicer), together with copies of the written
certification(s) of the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or
such Certificateholder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based, if any. None of the Depositor, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee is obligated to register or qualify any such Certificates under the 1933
Act or any other securities laws or to take any action not otherwise required
under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without
registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect the
transfer of any such Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor and the 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any such transfer of
any Ownership Interest in any Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry
Certificate, except with respect to the initial transfer of any such Ownership
Interest by the Depositor, such transfer shall be required to be made in
reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, and the transferee will be deemed to
have made each of the transferee representations and warranties set forth
Exhibit F-1 hereto in respect of such interest as if it was evidenced by a
Definitive Certificate. The Certificate Owner of any such Ownership Interest in
any such Book-Entry Certificate desiring to
114
effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and
the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so
exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of
Counsel described in this Section 5.02(b) will be required in connection with
the transfer, on the Closing Date, of any Residual Certificate by the Depositor
to an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(d) of the 1933 Act.
No transfer of a Private Certificate or any interest therein shall
be made to any Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person
acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person
acquiring such Certificates with "Plan Assets" of a Plan within the meaning of
the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 X.X.X.xx. 2510.3-101 ("Plan
Assets"), as certified by such transferee in the form of Exhibit G, unless, (i)
in the case of a Class CE Certificate, a Class P Certificate or Residual
Certificate, the Trust Administrator is provided with an Opinion of Counsel on
which the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer may
rely, to the effect that the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under
ERISA and the Code, will not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited
transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund
to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund or (ii) in the case of a
Class M-10 or Class M-11 Certificate, (1) such Person is an insurance company,
(2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the Certificate or interest
therein is an "insurance company general account," as such term is defined in
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60 and (3) the conditions in
Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied. Neither a certification
nor an Opinion of Counsel will be required in connection with (i) the initial
transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the
Depositor or, in the case of the Residual Certificates, the first transfer by an
Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or
Residual Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee
under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Class CE, Class P or
Residual Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture
trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor
(in which case, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof shall have deemed to have
represented that such Affiliate is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets)
and the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a
representation (which, upon the request of the Trust Administrator, shall be a
written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as
an affiliate of the Depositor.
Each beneficial owner of a Mezzanine Certificate (other than a Class
M-10 or Class M-11 Certificate) or any interest therein shall be deemed to have
represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that certificate or
interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan investor, (ii) it has
acquired and is holding such Mezzanine Certificate in reliance on the
Underwriters' Exemption, and that it understands that there are certain
conditions to the availability of the Underwriters' Exemption, including that
such Mezzanine Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower
than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by S&P, Xxxxx'x or
115
Fitch and the Certificates are so rated or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company,
(2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the Certificate or interest
therein is an "insurance company general account," as such term is defined in
PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been
satisfied.
If any Private Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate or any interest
therein is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the preceding two
paragraphs, the next preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the
beneficial owner of that Certificate retroactive to the date of transfer to the
purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or
holding of any such Certificate or interest therein was effected in violation of
the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Trust
Fund from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses
incurred by those parties as a result of that acquisition or holding.
(c) (i) 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 to have irrevocably authorized the Trust Administrator or its designee under
clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and
to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to
execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in
connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(A) 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.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Trust
Administrator shall require delivery to it and shall not register
the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt of an
affidavit and agreement (a "Transfer Affidavit and Agreement"), in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2, from the proposed
Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trust
Administrator, representing and warranting, among other things, that
such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring
its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the
subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for
any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as
it retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will
endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed
the provisions of this Section 5.02(d) and agrees to be bound by
them.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit
and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a
Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator who is assigned to
this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee
is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer
116
of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to such proposed
Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (x) to require a
Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other Person to whom such
Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it
provides a transferor affidavit (a "Transferor Affidavit"), in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2, to the Trust Administrator
stating that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge that
such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership
Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the Trust Administrator
written notice that it is a "pass-through interest holder" within
the meaning of temporary Treasury regulation Section 1.67-
3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate, if it is, or is holding an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate on behalf of, a "pass-through interest
holder."
(ii) The Trust Administrator will register the Transfer of any
Residual Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit
and Agreement and all of such other documents as shall have been
reasonably required by the Trust Administrator as a condition to such
registration. In addition, no Transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be
made unless the Trust Administrator shall have received a representation
letter from the Transferee of such Certificate to the effect that such
Transferee is a Permitted Transferee.
(iii) (A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(d), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored,
to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of such 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 this Section 5.02(d) or for making any payments
due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other
action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of
a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this
Section 5.02(d) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration
of the rights of the Holder of such Residual Certificate as
described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, then the Trust Administrator shall have the right,
without notice to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Residual
Certificate, to sell such Residual Certificate to a purchaser
selected by the Trust Administrator on such terms as the Trust
Administrator may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly
endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance with the
instructions
117
of the Trust Administrator. Such purchaser may be the Trust
Administrator itself or any Affiliate of the Trust Administrator.
The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include
commissions payable to the Trust Administrator or its Affiliates),
expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Trust
Administrator to such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions
of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the
sole discretion of the Trust Administrator, and the Trust
Administrator shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of
such discretion.
(iv) The Trust Administrator shall make available to the Internal
Revenue Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all
information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Person
who is a Disqualified Organization, including the information described in
Treasury regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with
respect to the "excess inclusions" of such Residual Certificate and (B) as
a result of any regulated investment company, real estate investment
trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization
described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate having as among its record holders at any time any
Person which is a Disqualified Organization. Reasonable compensation for
providing such information may be accepted by the Trust Administrator.
(v) The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to this
subsection (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that
there shall have been delivered to the Trust Administrator at the expense
of the party seeking to modify, add to or eliminate any such provision the
following:
(A) written notification from the Rating Agencies to the
effect that the modification, addition to or elimination of such
provisions will not cause the Rating Agencies to downgrade its
then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates; and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trust Administrator, to the effect that such
modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions will
not cause any Trust REMIC to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will
not cause (x) any Trust REMIC to be subject to an entity-level tax
caused by the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a Person that
is not a Permitted Transferee or (y) a Person other than the
prospective transferee to be subject to a REMIC-tax caused by the
Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee.
(d) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Trust
Administrator maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trust
Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated Transferee or Transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same
Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.
118
(e) At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be
exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations
and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to
be exchanged at any office or agency of the Trust Administrator maintained for
such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, upon notice from the Trust Administrator, 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 transfer or exchange shall (if so
required by the Trust Administrator) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trust
Administrator duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing. In addition, (i) with respect to each Class R
Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above,
such Class R Certificate for two separate Certificates, each representing such
Holder's respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-I Interest and the Class
R-II Interest that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged and
(ii) with respect to each Class R-X Certificate, the Holder thereof may
exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R-X Certificate for two
separate Certificates, each representing such Holder's respective Percentage
Interest in the Class R-III Interest and the Class R-IV Interest, respectively,
in each case that was evidenced by the Class R-X Certificate being exchanged.
(f) No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for
any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(g) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be
canceled and destroyed by the Trust Administrator in accordance with its
customary procedures.
SECTION 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trust
Administrator, or the Trust Administrator receive evidence to its satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is
delivered to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator such security or indemnity
as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence
of actual knowledge by 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 the same Class and
of like denomination and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section, the Trust Administrator may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and
expenses of the Trust Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable REMIC created hereunder, as
if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.
119
SECTION 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator
and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate
is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving
distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever,
and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or
any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.05 Certain Available Information.
The Trust Administrator shall maintain at its Corporate Trust Office
and shall make available free of charge during normal business hours for review

SECTION 6.01 Liability of the Depositor and the Servicer.
The Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the
extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement and undertaken
hereunder by the Servicer herein. The Depositor shall be liable in accordance
herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this
Agreement and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor herein.
SECTION 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the
Servicer.
Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in full
effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of

and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each
jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the
validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the
Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
The Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or
into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any
Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Depositor or the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding
to the business of the Depositor or the Servicer, shall be the successor of the
Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that
the successor or surviving Person to the Servicer shall be qualified to service
mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac; and provided further that
the Rating Agencies' ratings of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine
Certificates in effect immediately prior to such merger or consolidation will
not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof (as evidenced by a
letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies).
SECTION 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the
Servicer and Others.
None of the Depositor, the Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) or any of
the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Servicer
(and any Sub-Servicer) shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any
action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement, as applicable, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Servicer (and any
Sub-Servicer) or any such person against any breach of warranties,
representations or covenants made herein, or against any
121
specific liability imposed on the Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) pursuant
hereto or the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable, or against 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 or the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement, as applicable. The Depositor, the Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) and
any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Servicer may
rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, PRIMA FACIE, is properly
executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder or
the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Depositor, the Servicer
(and any Sub-Servicer) and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Depositor or the Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the Trust Fund against (i) any loss, liability or expense incurred
in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the
Certificates (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise

incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of duties hereunder or the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as

hereunder or the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and (ii) any
breach of a representation or warranty regarding the Mortgage Loans. None of the
Depositor or the Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) shall be under any obligation
to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related
to its respective duties under this Agreement or the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement, as applicable, and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any
expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor and the
Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) may in its discretion undertake any such action
which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement or the
related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and the rights and duties of the
parties hereto or to the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and the
interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, unless the
Depositor or the Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) acts without the consent of
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights (which
consent shall not be necessary in the case of litigation or other legal action
by either to enforce their respective rights or defend themselves hereunder or
the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable), the legal expenses and
costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except 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 or the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement, as applicable) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust
Fund, and the Depositor (subject to the limitations set forth above) and the
Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer) shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from
the Collection Account as and to the extent provided in Section 3.11 or from the
corresponding custodial account established under the related Sub-Servicing

Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account.
SECTION 6.04 Limitation on Resignation of the Servicer.
The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no
longer permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the written consent of the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator, which consent may not be unreasonably
withheld, with written confirmation from the Rating Agencies (which confirmation
shall be furnished to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator)
that
122
such resignation will not cause the Rating Agencies to reduce the then current
rating of the Class A Certificates and provided that a qualified successor has
agreed to assume the duties and obligations of the Servicer hereunder. Any such
determination pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence permitting the
resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect obtained at the expense of the Servicer and delivered to the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator. No resignation of the Servicer shall become effective
until the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, in accordance with
Section 7.02 hereof, or a successor servicer shall have assumed the Servicer's
responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising
prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this
Agreement.
Except as expressly provided herein, the Servicer shall not assign
or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other
Person, nor delegate to or subcontract with, nor authorize or appoint any other
Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by
the Servicer hereunder. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the
Servicer are transferred to a successor servicer, the entire amount of the
Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Servicer pursuant hereto
shall thereafter be payable to such successor servicer.
SECTION 6.05 Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the
Servicer.
The Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall
provide that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor, the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours,
access to all records maintained by the Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer) in
respect of the Servicer's rights and obligations hereunder and access to
officers of the Servicer (and those of any such Sub-Servicer) responsible for
such obligations. Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator its (and any such Sub-Servicer's) most
recent financial statements of the parent company of the Servicer and such other
information relating to the Servicer's capacity to perform its obligations under
this Agreement that it possesses. To the extent such information is not
otherwise available to the public, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the
preceding two sentences without the Servicer's written consent, except as
required pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to
do so (i) in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other
governmental agencies, rating agencies or reinsurers or (ii) pursuant to any
law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court
or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor, the Trustee,
the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund, and in either case, the Depositor,
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, shall use its best
efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public
information. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations
of the Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform,
or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Servicer under
this Agreement or exercise the rights of any of the Servicer under this
Agreement; provided that the Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its
obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Depositor
or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability
for any action or failure to act by the Servicer and is not obligated to
supervise the performance of the Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.
123
SECTION 6.06 Duties of the Credit Risk Manager.
For and on behalf of the Trust, the Credit Risk Manager will provide
reports and recommendations concerning certain delinquent and defaulted Mortgage
Loans, and as to the collection of any Prepayment Charges with respect to the
Mortgage Loans. Such reports and recommendations will be based upon information
provided to the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to the respective Credit Risk
Management Agreement, and the Credit Risk Manager shall look solely to the
Servicer for all information and data (including loss and delinquency
information and data) relating to the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans.
Upon any termination of the Credit Risk Manager or the appointment of a
successor Credit Risk Manager, the Depositor shall give written notice thereof
to the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and each Rating Agency.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of the Credit Risk Manager

taken or for refraining from the taking of any action made in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, in reliance upon information provided by the
Servicer under the related Credit Risk Management Agreement, or for errors in

Advance required to be made from its own funds on any Servicer Remittance
Date pursuant to Section 4.03) required to be made under the terms of the
Certificates and this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of
two Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such

Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or
(ii) any failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or
perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements
on the part of the Servicer contained in this Agreement, or the breach by
the Servicer of any representation and warranty contained in Section 2.05
(other than representation 2.05(a)(x)), which continues unremedied for a
period of 30 days (or if such failure or breach cannot be remedied within
30 days, then such remedy shall have been commenced within 30 days and
diligently pursued thereafter; provided, however, that in no event shall
such failure or breach be allowed to exist for a period of greater than 60
days) after the earlier of (i) the date on which written notice of such
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Servicer by the Depositor, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, or to
the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee by
the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights
and (ii) actual knowledge of such failure by a Servicing Officer; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under
any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs,
shall have been entered against the Servicer and if such proceeding is
being contested by the Servicer in good faith such decree or order shall
have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60
consecutive days or results in the entry of an order for relief or any
such adjudication or appointment; or
(iv) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator
or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities
125
or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to
all or substantially all of its property; or
(v) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its
debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of
any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment
for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its
obligations; or
(vi) any failure of the Servicer to make any P&I Advance on any
Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds pursuant
to Section 4.03 which continues unremedied until 5:00 p.m. New York time
on first Business Day after the date upon which written notice of such
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Servicer by the Trust Administrator or the Trustee (in which case notice
shall be provided by telecopy).
If a Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (v)
of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as
such Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or
the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in
writing to the Servicer (and to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator if
given by the Trustee or to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator if given by
the Depositor), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer in
its capacity as a Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law,
and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If a Servicer Event
of Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall occur and shall not have been
remedied during the applicable time period set forth in clause (vi) above, the
Trust Administrator shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer and the
Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer in its
capacity as a Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and
the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written
notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether
with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or
the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trust
Administrator pursuant to and under this Section and, without limitation, the
Trust Administrator is hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, to execute and deliver on behalf of and at the expense of the
Servicer, 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
Servicer agrees, at its sole cost and expense, promptly (and in any event no
later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trust
Administrator with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to
assume the Servicer's functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the
Trust Administrator in effecting the termination of the Servicer's
responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation,
the transfer within one Business Day to the Trust Administrator for
administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time shall be or should
have been credited by the Servicer to the Collection Account held by or on
behalf of the Servicer, the Distribution Account or any REO Account or Servicing
Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer or thereafter be received with
respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property serviced by the Servicer
(provided, however, that the Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive
all amounts accrued or owing to it under this
126
Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of P&I
Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events
occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.01, the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a
Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, as the case may be, assigned to and working in the
Trustee's or the Trust Administrator's Corporate Trust Office, as applicable,
has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in
fact such a Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, and such notice references the Certificates, the
Trust Fund or this Agreement.
SECTION 7.02 Trust Administrator or Trustee to Act; Appointment
of Successor.
(a) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of
termination, the Trust Administrator (and in the event the Trust Administrator
fails in its obligation, the Trustee) shall be the successor in all respects to
the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement, the Servicer
shall not have the right to withdraw any funds from the Collection Account
without the consent of the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable,
and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to
all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising
thereafter placed on the Servicer (except for any representations or warranties
of the Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities contained in Section 2.03(c) and its obligation to deposit amounts
in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.12) by the terms and provisions
hereof including, without limitation, the Servicer's obligations to make P&I
Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; provided, however, that if the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, is prohibited by law or regulation
from obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans,
then the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be
obligated to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; and provided further,
that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the
Servicer's failure to provide information required by Section 7.01 shall not be
considered a default by the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable,
as successor to the Servicer hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to the Servicing
Fees and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Servicer would
have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder (other than amounts
which were due or would become due to the Servicer prior to its termination or
resignation). Notwithstanding the above, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee,
as applicable, may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is
unable to so act or if it is prohibited by law from making advances regarding
delinquent mortgage loans, or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 51% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trust Administrator
or the Trustee, as applicable, promptly appoint or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing institution
acceptable to the Rating Agencies and having a net worth of not less than
$15,000,000 as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Servicer under this Agreement. No appointment of a successor Servicer under
this Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all
of the Servicer's responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In
connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, may make
127
such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on
Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no
such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer as such
hereunder. The Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and such
successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be
necessary to effectuate any such succession. Pending appointment of a successor
to the Servicer under this Agreement, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as
applicable, shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.
(b) In connection with the termination or resignation of the
Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor servicer, including the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, if the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee, as applicable, is acting as successor Servicer, shall represent and
warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply
in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection
with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, in which
case the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in
causing MERS to revise its records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the
successor Servicer as necessary under MERS' rules and regulations, or (ii) the
predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS
to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer
the Mortgage from MERS to the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable,
and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments
as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or
servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System to the successor Servicer.
The predecessor Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment in
the appropriate recording office. The predecessor Servicer shall bear any and
all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any assignments of Mortgage, and fees and
costs of filing any assignments of Mortgage that may be required under this
Section 7.02(b).
SECTION 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of a Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01
above or any appointment of a successor to a Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02
above, the Trust Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register.
(b) Not later than the later of 60 days after the occurrence of any
event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would
constitute a Servicer Event of Default or five days after a Responsible Officer
of the Trust Administrator becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the
Trust Administrator shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice
of each such occurrence, unless such default or Servicer Event of Default shall
have been cured or waived.
SECTION 7.04 Waiver of Servicer Events of Default.
Subject to Section 11.09(d), the Holders representing at least 66%
of the Voting Rights evidenced by all Classes of Certificates affected by any
default or Servicer Event of Default hereunder may waive such default or
Servicer Event of Default; provided, however, that a default or Servicer Event
of Default under clause (i) or (vi) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of
the Holders of the Regular Certificates. Upon any such waiver of a default or
Servicer
128
Event of Default, such default or Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist
and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Servicer Event of
Default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so
waived.

ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR
SECTION 8.01 Duties of Trustee and Trust Administrator.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, prior to the
occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default and after the curing of all Servicer
Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and
only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. During a
Servicer Event of Default, each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use
the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own
affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of all
resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or
other instruments furnished to it, which are specifically required to be
furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to
determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement; provided,
however, that neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator will be
responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents or other instruments. If any such
instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a
material manner, it shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the
instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to its
satisfaction, it will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator from liability for its own negligent action,
its own negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, and
after the curing of all such Servicer Events of Default which may have
occurred, the duties and obligations of each of the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be liable
except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, as the case may be, 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 or the
Trust Administrator, as the case may be, that conform to the requirements
of this Agreement;
(ii) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
personally liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer or Responsible
130
Officers of it unless it shall be proved that it was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to
be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights
relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the it or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon it, under this Agreement; and
(iv) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any
default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as the case may be, shall have received written notice
thereof or a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof. In
the absence of receipt of such notice or actual knowledge, the Trustee or
Trust Administrator, as applicable, may conclusively assume there is no
default.
Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be required to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers, in each case not including expenses, disbursements and
advances incurred or made by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, including the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee's or the Trust
Administrator's, as the case may be, performance in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, if there is reasonable ground for believing that
the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability
is not reasonably assured to it. With respect to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator, none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any
event require the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, to
perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, except during such time, if
any, as the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall be the
successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of,
the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as the case may be, may request and conclusively rely upon
and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper party or parties;
131
(ii) Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, as the case

(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be under
any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by
this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder

Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless
such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, security or indemnity satisfactory to it
against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein
or thereby; the right of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator to perform
any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed
as a duty, and neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the
performance of any such act; nothing contained herein shall, however,
relieve the Trust Administrator or the Trustee of the obligation, upon the
occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default (which has not been cured or
waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise
as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of such person's own affairs;
(iv) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good
faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default
hereunder, and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Default which
may have occurred, neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall
be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing to do so by the Holders of Certificates entitled to
at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the payment
within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, 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
or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, not reasonably assured to the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, by such
Certificateholders, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable,
may require indemnity satisfactory to it against such cost, expense, or
liability from such Certificateholders as a condition to taking any such
action;
(vi) Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator may execute any
of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either
directly or by or through agents or attorneys and neither the Trustee nor
the Trust Administrator shall be responsible for any misconduct or
negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care;
132
(vii) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
personally liable for any loss resulting from the investment of funds held
in the Collection Account at the direction of the Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.12; and
(viii) Any request or direction of the Depositor, the Servicer or
the Certificateholders mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced in
writing.
(b) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the
Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, may be
enforced by it without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the
production thereof at the trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any
such suit, action or proceeding instituted by the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all the Holders of
such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.03 Neither the Trustee nor Trust Administrator Liable
for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than
the signature of the Trust Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, the
authentication of the Trust Administrator on the Certificates, the
acknowledgments of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator contained in Article
II and the representations and warranties of the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator in Section 8.12) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor
and neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator assumes any responsibility
for their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator makes any
representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Agreement (other than as specifically set forth in Section 8.12) or of the
Certificates (other than the signature of the Trust Administrator and
authentication of the Trust Administrator on the Certificates) or of any
Mortgage Loan or related document or of MERS or the MERS System. Neither the
Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be accountable for the use or
application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of
such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the

withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Servicer.
SECTION 8.04 Trustee and Trust Administrator May Own
Certificates.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator in its individual

SECTION 8.05 Trustee's, Trust Administrator's and Custodians'
Fees and Expenses.
(a) The Trust Administrator shall withdraw from the Distribution
Account on each Distribution Date and pay to itself any income and gain realized
from the investment of funds deposited in the Distribution Account. The

agreement between the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, and such compensation
will not be an expense of the Trust. Each of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, a Custodian and any director, officer, employee or agent of any
of them, as
133
applicable, shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any
loss, liability or expense (not including expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or a Custodian, as
applicable, including the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee's, the Trust
Administrator's or a Custodian's, as the case may be, performance in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator or a Custodian, as applicable, in connection with any claim or
legal action or any pending or threatened claim or legal action arising out of
or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its obligations and
duties under this Agreement (or, in the case of a Custodian, under the
applicable Custodial Agreement), other than any loss, liability or expense (i)
resulting from any breach of any Servicer's obligations in connection with this
Agreement for which the Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator pursuant to Section 8.05(b) and Section 10.03 (and in the case of
the Trustee, resulting from any breach of the Trust Administrator's obligations
in connection with this Agreement for which the Trust Administrator shall
indemnify the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03(a) and in the case of the Trust
Administrator, resulting from any breach of the Trustee's obligations in
connection with this Agreement for which the Trustee shall indemnify the Trust
Administrator pursuant to Section 10.03(c)), (ii) that constitutes a specific
liability of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, pursuant to
Section 10.01(g) or (iii) 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
(or, in the case of a Custodian, under the applicable Custodial Agreement) or as
a result of a breach of the Trustee's or the Trust Administrator's obligations
under Article X hereof (or, in the case of a Custodian, as a result of a breach
of such Custodian's obligations under the related Custodial Agreement). Any
amounts payable to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, a Custodian, or any
director, officer, employee or agent of any of them in respect of the
indemnification provided by this paragraph (a), or pursuant to any other right
of reimbursement from the Trust Fund that the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
a Custodian or any director, officer, employee or agent of any of them may have
hereunder in its capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the Trust Administrator
for payment to the applicable indemnified Person from the Distribution Account
at any time.
(b) The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and any Custodian from, and hold each harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense resulting from a breach of the Servicer's obligations and
duties under this Agreement. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or
discharge of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator or such Custodian, as the case may be. Any payment hereunder
made by the Servicer to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or such Custodian
shall be from the Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust
Fund therefor.
SECTION 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee and Trust
Administrator.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator hereunder shall at
all times be a corporation or an association organized and doing business under
the laws of any state or the United States of America, authorized under such
laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or
state authority. In case at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
shall
134
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
SECTION 8.07 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator.
Either of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may at any time
resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice
thereof to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Certificateholders and, if the
Trustee is resigning, to the Trust Administrator, or, if the Trust Administrator
is resigning, to the Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the
Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trust administrator
(which may be the same Person in the event both the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator resign or are removed) by written instrument, in duplicate, which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee or Trust Administrator
and to the successor trustee or trust administrator, as applicable. A copy of
such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the Trustee or
Trust Administrator, as applicable, and the Servicer by the Depositor. If no
successor trustee or trust administrator shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable, may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee or trust administrator, as applicable.
If at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to
resign after written request therefor by the Depositor (or in the case of the
Trust Administrator, the Trustee), or if at any time the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control
of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor (or
in the case of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee) may remove the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor trustee or trust
administrator (which may be the same Person in the event both the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator resign or are removed) by written instrument, in
duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or Trust
Administrator so removed and to the successor trustee or trust administrator. A
copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, and the Servicer by the
Depositor.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights may at any time remove the Trustee or the Trust Administrator and appoint
a successor trustee or trust administrator by written instrument or instruments,
in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly
authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the
Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the
case may be, so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A
copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the
Servicer by the Depositor.
If no successor Trust Administrator shall have been appointed and
shall have accepted appointment within 60 days after the Trust Administrator
ceases to be the Trust
135
Administrator pursuant to this Section 8.07, then the Trustee shall perform the
duties of the Trust Administrator pursuant to this Agreement. The Trustee shall
notify the Rating Agencies of any change of Trust Administrator.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
and appointment of a successor trustee or trust administrator, as the case may
be, pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective
until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or trust administrator
as provided in Section 8.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the
Trust Administrator advises the Trustee that it is unable to continue to perform
its obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement prior to the appointment
of a successor, the Trustee shall be obligated to perform such obligations until
a new trust administrator is appointed. Such performance shall be without
prejudice to any claim by a party hereto or beneficiary hereof resulting from
the Trust Administrator's breach of its obligations hereunder. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all fees the Trust Administrator
would have been entitled to if it had continued to act hereunder.
SECTION 8.08 Successor Trustee or Trust Administrator.
Any successor trustee or trust administrator appointed as provided
in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, and to its predecessor
trustee or trust administrator an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee
or trust administrator shall become effective and such successor trustee or
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 trustee or
trust administrator herein. The predecessor trustee or trust administrator shall
deliver to the successor trustee or trust administrator all Mortgage Files and
related documents and statements, as well as all moneys, held by it hereunder
and the Depositor and the predecessor trustee or trust administrator shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably
be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
trustee or trust administrator all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No successor trustee or trust administrator shall accept appointment
as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor
trustee or trust administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
8.06 and the appointment of such successor trustee or trust administrator shall
not result in a downgrading of any Class of Certificates by the Rating Agencies,
as evidenced by a letter from the Rating Agencies.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or trust
administrator as provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of
the succession of such trustee or trust administrator hereunder to all Holders
of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the
Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee or trust administrator, the successor
trustee or trust administrator shall cause such notice to be mailed at the
expense of the Depositor.
136
SECTION 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Trust
Administrator.
Any corporation or association into which either the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated or any corporation or association resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
the case may be, shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding
to the business of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall
be the successor of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be,
hereunder, provided such corporation or association shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of REMIC I or property securing the same may at the time be located, the
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 REMIC I, and to
vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to REMIC I, or any
part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such
powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee
may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have joined in
such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so,
or in case a Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee
or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility
as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of
Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be
required under Section 8.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall
be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such
rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to REMIC
I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the
Trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trust conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of
137
this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or
affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with
the Trustee.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.

equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law.
(v) It is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery of
this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of this
Agreement will not constitute
138
a violation of, any law, any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or

Trustee or Trust Administrator, as the case may be, or, with respect to which
the performance of custody-related functions pursuant to the terms of the
custodial agreement with the applicable Custodian shall fail to satisfy all the
related requirements under this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01 Termination Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of the
Mortgage Loans.
(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and
responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other
than the obligations of the Servicer to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator
pursuant to Section 8.05 and of the Servicer to provide for and the Trust
Administrator to make payments in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests and
the Classes of Certificates as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon
payment to the Certificateholders and the deposit of all amounts held by or on
behalf of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator and required hereunder to be so
paid or deposited on the Distribution Date coinciding with or following the
earlier to occur of (i) the purchase by the Terminator (on a servicing retained
basis) of all Mortgage Loans and each related REO Property remaining in REMIC I
and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or related REO Property remaining in REMIC I;
provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue
beyond the earlier of (a) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last
survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the
United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof and (b) the
Latest Possible Maturity Date (as defined in the Preliminary Statement).
Subject to Section 3.10 hereof, the purchase by the Terminator of
all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I shall be at a
price equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans and the appraised value of any REO Properties (such appraisal to be
conducted by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Trust
Administrator) and (ii) the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the REO
Properties (as determined by the Servicer, with the consent of the Trust
Administrator as of the close of business on the third Business Day next
preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished to the
related Certificateholders pursuant to Section 9.01(c)), in each case plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the weighted average of the Mortgage
Rates through the end of the Due Period preceding the final Distribution Date
plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties (the "Termination Price"); provided, however, such option may only be
exercised if the Termination Price is sufficient to result in the payment of all
interest accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to retire the principal
balance of, each class of notes issued pursuant to the Indenture.
(b) The Servicer shall have the right (the party exercising such
right, the "Terminator"), to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph
no later than the Determination Date in the month immediately preceding the
Distribution Date on which the Certificates will be retired; provided, however,
that the Terminator may elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) above only if the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining
in the Trust Fund at the time of such election is reduced to less than 10% of
the aggregate Stated Principal
140
Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. By acceptance of a
Residual Certificate, the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, in
connection with any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts in
excess of par, and to the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay
any such amounts to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.
(c) Notice of the liquidation of any Certificates shall be given
promptly by the Trust Administrator by letter to the related Certificateholders
mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of
the Mortgage Loans and each related REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the
Terminator, not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the
month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the related
Certificates or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or
before the Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the
Distribution Date upon which REMIC I will terminate and final payment of the
Certificates and will be made upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office of the Trust Administrator therein designated, (ii)
the amount of any such final payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue in
respect of the Certificates from and after the Interest Accrual Period relating
to the final Distribution Date therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only
upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trust
Administrator. In the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase
of all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the
Terminator, the Terminator shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit
in the Distribution Account not later than the last Business Day of the month
next preceding the month in which such distribution will be made an amount in
immediately available funds equal to the Termination Price. Upon certification
to the Trust Administrator by a Servicing Officer of the making of such final
deposit, the Trust Administrator shall promptly release or cause to be released
to the related Terminator the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans
and the Trust Administrator shall execute all assignments, endorsements and
other instruments delivered to it which are necessary to effectuate such
transfer.
(d) Upon receipt of notice by the Trust Administrator of the
presentation of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the related final
Distribution Date to the Trust Administrator, the Trust Administrator shall
distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its
Certificates the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 4.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and
surrendered. Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates
being retired on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or
Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held
in trust by the Trust Administrator and credited to the account of the
appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which
notice has been given pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such
notice, the Trust Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If
within one year after the second notice all such Certificates
141
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall,
directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to remaining related
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The
costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such
Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in the trust funds.
If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall pay to
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering
Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest
shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust
by the Trust Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to
surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this
Section 9.01.
Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder in
respect of each of the Certificates the Trust Fund shall terminate.
SECTION 9.02 Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event that the Terminator purchases all the Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property, REMIC I shall be terminated, in each case in
accordance with the following additional requirements (or in connection with the
final payment on or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property
remaining in REMIC I, the additional requirement specified in clause (i) below):
(i) The Trust Administrator shall specify the first day in the
90-day liquidation period in a statement attached to REMIC I's final Tax
Return pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-1, and such
termination shall satisfy all requirements of a qualified liquidation
under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel obtained at the expense of the
Servicer;
(ii) During such 90-day liquidation period, and at or prior to the
time of making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trust
Administrator shall sell all of the assets of REMIC I to the Terminator
for cash; and
(iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the related
Certificates, the Trust Administrator shall distribute or credit, or cause
to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates
all cash on hand in REMIC I (other than cash retained to meet claims), and
REMIC I shall terminate at that time.
(b) At the expense of the Terminator (or in the event of termination
under Section 9.01(a)(ii), at the expense of the Servicer), the Trust
Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared the documentation
required in connection with the adoption of a plan of liquidation of REMIC
I pursuant to this Section 9.02.
(c) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby
agree to authorize the Trust Administrator to specify the 90-day
liquidation period for REMIC I which authorization shall be binding upon
all successor Certificateholders.

any Trust REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax
authorities), and shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust therefor to
the extent permitted under Section 8.05. The Trust Administrator, as agent for
any Trust REMIC's tax matters person, shall (i) act on behalf of the Trust Fund
in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving any Trust REMIC and (ii)
represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating
to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect

the tax matters person for the Trust Fund.
(d) The Trust Administrator shall prepare and the Trustee at the
direction of the Trust Administrator shall sign and the Trust Administrator
shall file all of the Tax Returns in respect of the REMIC created hereunder. The

provide on a timely basis to the Trust Administrator or its designee such
information with
143
respect to the assets of the Trust Fund as is in its possession and reasonably
required by the Trust Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations
under this Article.
(e) The Trust Administrator shall perform on behalf of any Trust
REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility
of the REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance
issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority
including the filing of Form 8811 with the Internal Revenue Service within 30

information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the
transfer of a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted
Transferee, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are

interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the
Prepayment Assumption as required) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the

such action as shall be necessary to create or maintain the status thereof as a
REMIC under the REMIC Provisions. The Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the
Servicer shall not take any action or cause the Trust Fund to take any action or
fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC
Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the
status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax
upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited
transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on
contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such
event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator (at the expense of
the party seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator) to the effect that the contemplated action
will not, with respect to any Trust REMIC, endanger such status or result in the
imposition of such a tax, nor shall the Servicer take or fail to take any action
(whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to
such action; provided that the Servicer may conclusively rely on such Opinion of
Counsel and shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in
accordance with such Opinion of Counsel. In addition, prior to taking any action
with respect to any Trust REMIC or the respective assets of each, or causing any
Trust REMIC to take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of
this Agreement, the Servicer consult with the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator or their designee, in writing,
144
with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur
with respect to any Trust REMIC and the Servicer shall not take any such action
or cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could
occur; provided that the Servicer may conclusively rely on such writing and
shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with
such writing. The Trust Administrator and the Trustee may consult with counsel
to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party
seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event
shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator. At all
times as may be required by the Code, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and
the Servicer will ensure that substantially all of the assets of REMIC I will
consist of "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code
and "permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code, to the
extent such obligations are within the Trustee's, Trust Administrator's or
Servicer's, as applicable, control and not otherwise inconsistent with the terms
of this Agreement.
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited
transactions" of the REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of
the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of the REMIC as defined
in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to the REMIC after the
Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax
is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws,
such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section
10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trust
Administrator of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results
from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X,
(iii) to the Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out
of or results from a breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations under
Article III or this Article X, or otherwise (iv) against amounts on deposit in
the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.
(h) [Reserved].
(i) The Trust Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes,
maintain books and records with respect to any Trust REMIC on a calendar year
and on an accrual basis.
(j) Following the Startup Day, the Servicer, the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator shall not accept any contributions of assets to any Trust
REMIC other than in connection with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
delivered in accordance with Section 2.03 unless it shall have received an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust
Fund will not cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding or subject the REMIC to any tax under the REMIC
Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or
ordinances.
(k) None of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Servicer
shall enter into any arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or
other compensation for services nor permit either such REMIC to receive any
income from assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section
860G(a)(5) of the Code.
145
SECTION 10.02 Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
None of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans

in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of any Trust REMIC, (iii) the
termination of any Trust REMIC pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement, (iv) a

defaulted Mortgage Loan), nor sell or dispose of any investments in the
Collection Account or the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any

Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03), unless it
has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such sale,
disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution but in no event at the

SECTION 11.01 Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator without the consent of any
of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect, (ii) to correct,
modify or supplement any provisions herein (including to give effect to the
expectations of Certificateholders) or (iii) to make any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, provided that such action
shall not, as evidenced by either (a) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator, adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of any Certificateholder or (b) written notice to the Depositor,
the Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator from the Rating Agencies
that such action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of
any outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating
Agency). No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto,
and no Opinion of Counsel or Rating Agency confirmation shall be required to
address the effect of any such amendment on any such consenting
Certificateholder.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting
Rights for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Cap Provider or Holders of Certificates; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or
delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to
be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Cap Provider or Holders of any Class of Certificates (as evidenced by either (i)
an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee and Trust Administrator or (ii)
written notice to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator from the Rating Agencies that such action will not result in the
reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates
with respect to which it is a Rating Agency) in a manner, other than as
described in (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such
Class evidencing at least 66% of the Voting Rights allocated to such Class, or
(iii) modify the consents required by the immediately preceding clauses (i) and
(ii) without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the
giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 11.01, Certificates
registered in the name of the Depositor or the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof
shall be entitled to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such
Certificates.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall consent to any amendment to this
Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that such amendment will not result in the
147
imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or
cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding.
Prior to executing any amendment pursuant to this Section, the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of
Counsel (provided by the Person requesting such amendment) to the effect that
such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 11.01,
none of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall enter into any
amendment to Section 4.01(e), Section 4.08 or Section 11.10 of this Agreement
without the prior written consent of the Cap Provider.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trust
Administrator shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to
such reasonable regulations as the Trust Administrator may prescribe.
The cost of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to this
Section 11.01 shall be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment, but in
no event shall such Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Trustee and Trust
Administrator may, but shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment
pursuant to this Section that affects its rights, duties and immunities under
this Agreement or otherwise.
SECTION 11.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate
public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the
Servicer at the expense of the Certificateholders, but only upon direction of
Certificateholders accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.

The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate
to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to

partition or winding up of the Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights,
obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation

to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any
Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any
action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and
(ii) the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights

institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee or Trust
Administrator hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, such indemnity satisfactory to it against the
costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, for 15 days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to
institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is understood and intended,
and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, that no one or more
Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue
of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of
the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right
under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal,
ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and

SECTION 11.08 Article and Section References.
All article and section references used in this Agreement, unless
otherwise provided, are to articles and sections in this Agreement.
SECTION 11.09 Grant of Security Interest.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance
of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, a
sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of the Mortgage
Loans by the Depositor to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor.
However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the
parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a)
it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge
of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be
a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the
conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by
the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor's
right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable
to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and
all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary,
151
of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including
without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to
time held or invested in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account,
whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the
obligations secured by such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the
Depositor's obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to
provide to the Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the
Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such
property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding
such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable)
of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law. Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a
security interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in
clause (2) of the preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee
the performance by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of
the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend
the conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and unconditional
sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the
Depositor to the Trustee.
SECTION 11.10 Third Party Rights.
The Cap Provider shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this
Agreement to the same extent as if it were a party hereto, and shall have the
right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 11.11 Intention of the Parties and Interpretation.
Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of
Sections 3.20, 3.21 and 4.07 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by
the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB promulgated by the Commission
under the 1934 Act (17 C.F.R. xx.xx. 229.1100 - 229.1123), as such may be
amended from time to time and subject to clarification and interpretive advice
as may be issued by the staff of the Commission from time to time. Therefore,
each of the parties agrees that (a) the obligations of the parties hereunder
shall be interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish that purpose, (b) the
parties' obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as necessary to
be consistent with any such amendments, interpretive advice or guidance,
convention or consensus among active participants in the asset-backed securities
markets, opinion of counsel, or otherwise in respect of the requirements of
Regulation AB, (c) the parties shall comply with requests made by the Depositor
for delivery of additional or different information, to the extent that such
information is available or reasonably attainable, as the Depositor may
determine in good faith is necessary to comply with the provisions of Regulation
AB, and (d) no amendment of this Agreement shall be required to effect any such
changes in the parties' obligations as are necessary to accommodate evolving
interpretations of the provisions of Regulation AB; provided, however, that any
such changes shall require the consent of each of the parties hereto.

the "Depositor," which term includes any successor entity under the
Agreement), the Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, a summary
of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To
the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the
meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is
subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which
Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof
assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be
made on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business
Day, the Business Day immediately following (a "Distribution Date"),
commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in

equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class A-1A
Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the
Agreement will be made or caused to be made by the Trust Administrator by

entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trust
Administrator in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date

and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the
above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due
notice by the Trust Administrator of the pendency of such distribution and
only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or
agency appointed by the Trust Administrator for that purpose as provided in
the Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates designated as Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the
Series specified on the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and
representing the Percentage Interest specified above in the Class of
Certificates to which the Certificate belongs.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution
Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions
to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances
made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided,
the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of
the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting
Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any
of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as
provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment
in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof
or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or
more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage
Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested
by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any
such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trust

notice to the contrary.

created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them
pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or
other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan and REO Property remaining in the REMIC and (ii) the purchase by the
party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the
Agreement from the REMIC of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired
in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not
require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the REMIC all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan
at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such
right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right
to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate
principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the

the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan

the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the

wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person
entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trust
Administrator in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date
immediately prior to such Distribution Date or otherwise by check mailed by
first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name
and address shall appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the

agency appointed by the Trust Administrator for that purpose as provided in

the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting
Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any
of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as
provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment
in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof
or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or
more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer
is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective registration or
qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a
transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the
event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trust Administrator shall require receipt
of written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to
effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1. None of
the Depositor or the Trust Administrator is obligated to register or qualify
the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or
any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under
the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without
registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of
this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor, the Servicer and any Sub-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 this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on
behalf of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this
Certificate shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(b) of the
Agreement.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage
Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested
by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any
such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trust
Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer
or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee
and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as
the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Trust Administrator, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them
pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or
other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan and REO Property remaining in the REMIC and (ii) the purchase by the
party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the
Agreement from the REMIC of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired
in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not
require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the REMIC all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan
at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such
right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right
to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate
principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed
by the Trust Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not
be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be
duly executed.

collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution
Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions
to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances
made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided,
the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of
the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting
Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any
of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as
provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment
in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof
or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or
more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer
is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective registration or
qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a
transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the
event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trust Administrator shall require receipt
of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A
under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate
desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective
transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit
F-1, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it
that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification
(which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Servicer in their
respective capacities as such), together with copies of the written
certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer and/or such Holder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion
of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trust Administrator is
obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the
face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any
action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of
such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring
to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Servicer and any
Sub-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 this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on
behalf of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this
Certificate shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(b) of the
Agreement.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage
Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested
by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any
such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trust
Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer
or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee
and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as
the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Trust Administrator, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them
pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or
other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan and REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party
designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the
Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in
respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require,
the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right
will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to
purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed
by the Trust Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not
be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be
duly executed.

federal and state laws.

Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate

acknowledges that (A) the Class R Certificates have been designated as a
residual interest in REMIC I and REMIC II, (B) it will include in its income a

including those relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding

disposition of this Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent
(including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such

such Person shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose,
including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions in respect of this
Certificate.

deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and
to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor
to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust Fund to cease
to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I or REMIC II.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange of Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee
and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Trust Administrator, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts
held by the Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the purchase by the holders of the Class
X Certificates or the Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and related REO Property
remaining in REMIC I, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property
remaining in REMIC I. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party
designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and
all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as
provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of

Loans as of the Cut-off Date.

at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such
Distribution Date or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the
address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on
the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on
this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trust Administrator of the
pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this
Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trust Administrator for
that purpose as provided in the Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on
the face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing a Percentage
Interest in the Class of Certificates equal to the denomination specified on the
face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
of Certificates specified on the face hereof.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, and the rights of
the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such
consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
Any resale, transfer or other disposition of this certificate may be
made only in accordance with the provisions of section 5.02 of the agreement
referred to herein.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as
provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in
the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Trust Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified
in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is
made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective registration or
qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a
transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the
event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trust Administrator shall require receipt of
(i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under
the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring
to effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in
all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may
be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator or the Servicer in their respective capacities as such),
together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective
transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or
the Trust Administrator is obligated to register or qualify the Class of
Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other
securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement
to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the
Depositor, the Servicer and any Sub-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 this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement.
Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of
this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the Trust
Administrator (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person
other than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee
or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that
acknowledges that (A) the Class R-X Certificates have been designated as a
residual interest in REMIC I and REMIC II, (B) it will include in its income a
pro rata share of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be
an "excess inclusion," as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions,
cannot be offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it
expects to have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations
including those relating to holding the Class R-X Certificates. Notwithstanding
the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of this Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent
(including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such
registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and
such Person shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose,
including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions in respect of this
Certificate.
The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be
deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and
to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor
to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust Fund to cease
to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I or REMIC II.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange of Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee
and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Trust Administrator, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts
held by the Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the purchase by the holders of the Class
X Certificates or the Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and related REO Property
remaining in REMIC I, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property
remaining in REMIC I. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party
designated in the Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and
all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as
provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of
purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor, and none of the Trustee, Servicer or Trust Administrator assume
responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Trust Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be
duly executed.

EXHIBIT C
SERVICING CRITERIA TO BE ADDRESSED
IN ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE
Definitions
Primary Servicer - transaction party having borrower contact
Master Servicer - aggregator of pool assets
Trust Administrator - waterfall calculator (may be the Trustee, or may be the
Master Servicer)
Back-up Servicer - named in the transaction (in the event a Back up Servicer
becomes the Primary Servicer, follow Primary Servicer obligations)
Custodian - safe keeper of pool assets
Paying Agent - distributor of funds to ultimate investor (Trust Administrator
performs this function)
Trustee - fiduciary of the transaction
Note: The definitions above describe the essential function that the party
performs, rather than the party's title. So, for example, in a particular
transaction, the trustee may perform the "paying agent" and "trust
administrator" functions, while in another transaction, the trust administrator
may perform these functions.
Where there are multiple checks for criteria the attesting party will identify
in their management assertion that they are attesting only to the portion of the
distribution chain they are responsible for in the related transaction
agreements.

The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense,
including without limitation the defense of usury,
nor will the operation of any of the terms of the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any
right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or
the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or

(viii) No Fraud.
No error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence,
fraud or similar occurrence with respect to a
Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the
Seller, or the Mortgagor, or to the best of the
Seller's knowledge, any appraiser, any builder, or
any developer, or any other party involved in the
origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the
application of any insurance in relation to such
Mortgage Loan;
(ix) Compliance with Applicable Laws.
Any and all requirements of any federal, state or
local law including, without limitation, usury,
truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures,
consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity,
disclosure or predatory and abusive lending laws
applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied
with. All inspections, licenses and certificates
required to be made or issued with respect to all
occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with
respect to the use and occupancy of the same,
including, but not limited to, certificates of
occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have
been made or obtained from the appropriate
authorities;
(x) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property.
The Mortgaged Property is located in the state
identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and
consists of a contiguous parcel of real property with
a detached single family residence erected thereon,
or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual
condominium unit in a condominium project, or an
individual unit in a planned unit development, or a
townhouse, or a cooperative, provided, however, that
any condominium project or planned unit development
shall conform with the applicable Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac requirements, or the Underwriting
Guidelines, regarding such dwellings, and no
residence or dwelling is a mobile home. As of the
respective appraisal date for each Mortgaged
Property, any Mortgaged Property being used for
commercial purposes conforms to the Underwriting
Guidelines and, to the best of the Seller's
knowledge, since the date of such appraisal, no
portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for
commercial purposes outside of the Underwriting
Guidelines;
(xi) Valid First Lien.
The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable
first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all
buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all
installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing,
heating and air conditioning systems located in or
annexed to such buildings, and all additions,
alterations and replacements made at any time with
respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is
subject only to:
(1) the lien of current real property taxes and
assessments not yet due and payable;
(2) covenants, conditions and restrictions,
rights of way, easements and other matters
of the public record as of the date of
recording acceptable to mortgage lending
institutions generally and specifically
referred to in the lender's title insurance
policy delivered to the originator of the
Mortgage Loan and (i) referred to or
otherwise considered in the appraisal made
for the originator of the Mortgage Loan and
(ii) which do not adversely affect the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property
set forth in such appraisal; and
(3) other matters to which like properties are
commonly subject which do not materially
interfere with the benefits of the security
intended to be provided by the mortgage or
the use, enjoyment, value or marketability
of the related Mortgaged Property.
Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or
equivalent document related to and delivered in
connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and
creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first
lien and first priority security interest on the
property described therein and the Seller has full
right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser.
With respect to each Cooperative Loan, each Pledge
Agreement creates a valid, enforceable and subsisting
first security interest in the Cooperative Shares and
Proprietary Lease, subject only to (i) the lien of
the related Cooperative for unpaid assessments
representing the Mortgagor's pro rata share of the
Cooperative's payments for its blanket mortgage,
current and future real property taxes, insurance
premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments to
which like collateral is commonly subject and (ii)
other matters to which like collateral is commonly
subject which do not materially interfere with the
benefits of the security intended to be provided by
the Pledge Agreement; provided, however, that the
appurtenant Proprietary Lease may be subordinated or
otherwise subject to the lien of any mortgage on the
Project;
(xii) Full Disbursement of Proceeds.
The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully
disbursed, except for escrows established or created
due to seasonal weather conditions, and there is no
requirement for future advances thereunder. All
costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or
closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the
Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled
to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(xiii) Consolidation of Future Advances.
Any future advances made prior to the related Cut-off
Date, have been consolidated with the outstanding
principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the
secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a
single interest rate and single repayment term
reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The
lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated
principal amount is expressly insured as having first
lien priority by a title insurance policy, an
endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee's
consolidated interest or by other title evidence
acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac; the
consolidated principal amount does not exceed the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan; the
Seller shall not make future advances after the
related Cut-off Date;
(xiv) Ownership.
The Seller is the sole owner of record and holder of
the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Note and
the Mortgage are not assigned or pledged, and the
Seller has good and marketable title thereto and has
full right and authority to transfer and sell the
Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser. The Seller is
transferring the Mortgage Loan free and clear of any
and all encumbrances, liens, pledges, equities,
participation interests, claims, charges or security
interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage
Loan;
(xv) Origination/Doing Business.
The Mortgage Loan was originated by a savings and
loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank,
a credit union, an insurance company, or similar
institution that is supervised and examined by a
federal or state authority or by a mortgagee approved
by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National
Housing Act. All parties which have had any interest
in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee,
pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in
which they held and disposed of such interest, were)
(1) in compliance with any and all applicable
licensing requirements of the laws of the state
wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (2)
organized under the laws of such state, or (3)
qualified to do business in such state, or (4)
federal savings and loan associations or national
banks having principal offices in such state, or (5)
not doing business in such state;
(xvi) LTV, PMI Policy.
Each Mortgage Loan has an LTV as specified on the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule. Except for Pledged
Asset Mortgage Loans, if the LTV of the Mortgage Loan
was greater than 80% at the time of origination, a
portion of the unpaid principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan is and will be insured as to payment
defaults by a PMI Policy. If the Mortgage Loan is
insured by a PMI Policy for which the Mortgagor pays
all premiums, the coverage will remain in place until
(i) the LTV decreases to 78% or (ii) the PMI Policy
is otherwise terminated pursuant to the Homeowners
Protection Act of 1998, 12 USC ss.4901, et seq. All
provisions of such PMI Policy or LPMI Policy have
been and are being complied with, such policy is in
full force and effect, and all premiums due
thereunder have been paid. The Qualified Insurer has
a claims paying ability acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI
Policy or LPMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor or the
Seller to maintain the PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and
to pay all premiums and charges in connection
therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the
Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related Mortgage
Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium;
(xvii) Title Insurance.
The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's
title insurance policy (or in the case of any
Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located
in a jurisdiction where such policies are generally
not available, an opinion of counsel of the type
customarily rendered in such jurisdiction in lieu of
title insurance) or other generally acceptable form
of policy of insurance acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or
Xxxxxxx Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do
business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located, insuring the Seller, its
successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien
of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of
the Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions
contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of subsection
(xi) of this Section 6(b), and against any loss by
reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the
lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage
providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest
Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally, such lender's
title insurance policy includes no exceptions
regarding ingress, egress or encroachments that
impact the value or the marketability of the
Mortgaged Property. The Seller is the sole insured of
such lender's title insurance policy, and such
lender's title insurance policy is in full force and
effect and will be in force and effect upon the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. No claims have been made under such
lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder
of the Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by
act or omission, anything which would impair the
coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;
(xviii) No Defaults.
There is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the
Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of
time or with notice and the expiration of any grace
or cure period, would constitute a default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration, and neither the
Seller nor its predecessors have waived any default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration;
(xix) No Mechanics' Liens.
There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims
which have been filed for work, labor or material
(and no rights are outstanding that under the law
could give rise to such liens) affecting the related
Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior
to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the
related Mortgage which are not insured against by the
title insurance policy referenced in Paragraph (q)
above;
(xx) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments.
Except as insured against by the title insurance
policy referenced in subsection (xvii) above, all
improvements which were considered in determining the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lay wholly
within the boundaries and building restriction lines
of the Mortgaged Property and no improvements on
adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged
Property. No improvement located on or being part of
the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any
applicable zoning law or regulation;
(xxi) Payment Terms.
Except with respect to the Interest Only Mortgage
Loans, principal payments commenced no more than 60
days after the funds were disbursed to the Mortgagor
in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage
Loans have an original term to maturity of not more
than 30 years, with interest payable in arrears on
the first day of each month. As to each adjustable
rate Mortgage Loan on each applicable Adjustment
Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted to
equal the sum of the Index plus the applicable Gross
Margin, rounded up or down to the nearest multiple of
0.125% indicated by the Mortgage Note; provided that
the Mortgage Interest Rate will not increase or
decrease by more than the Periodic Interest Rate Cap
on any Adjustment Date, and will in no event exceed
the maximum Mortgage Interest Rate or be lower than
the minimum Mortgage Interest Rate listed on the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule for such Mortgage
Loan. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan that
is not an Interest Only Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage
Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient,
during the period prior to the first adjustment to
the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize the
outstanding principal balance as of the first day of
such period over the then remaining term of such
Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related
Mortgage Interest Rate. As to each adjustable rate
Mortgage Loan, if the related Mortgage Interest Rate
changes on an Adjustment Date or, with respect to an
Interest Only Mortgage Loan, on an Adjustment Date
following the related interest only period, the then
outstanding principal balance will be reamortized
over the remaining life of such Mortgage Loan. No
Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which
would result in negative amortization;
(xxii) Customary Provisions.
The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain
customary and enforceable provisions such as to
render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged
Property of the benefits of the security provided
thereby, including, (1) in the case of a Mortgage
designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and
(2) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no
homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor
which would interfere with the right to sell the
Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right
to foreclose the Mortgage;
(xxiii) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property.
As of the date of origination, the Mortgaged Property
was in good repair and was lawfully occupied under
applicable law;
(xxiv) No Additional Collateral.
Except in the case of a Pledged Asset Mortgage Loan
and as indicated on the related Data File, the
Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any
collateral, pledged account or other security except
the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the
security interest of any applicable security
agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in
subsection (xi) above;
(xxv) Deeds of Trust.
In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of
trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law
to serve as such, has been properly designated and
currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and
no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the
Mortgagee to the trustee under the deed of trust,
except in connection with a trustee's sale after
default by the Mortgagor;
(xxvi) Acceptable Investment.
The Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or
conditions with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's
credit standing that can reasonably be expected to
cause private institutional investors to regard the
Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause
the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely
affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage
Loan;
(xxvii) Transfer of Mortgage Loans.
If the Mortgage Loan is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the
Assignment of Mortgage, upon the insertion of the
name of the assignee and recording information, is in
recordable form and is acceptable for recording under
the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged
Property is located;
(xxviii) Mortgaged Property Undamaged.
The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire,
earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood,
tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely
the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for
the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises
were intended;
(xxix) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits.
The origination, servicing and collection practices
used with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, and
have been in all material respects legal and proper.
With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments,
all such payments are in the possession of the Seller
and there exist no deficiencies in connection
therewith for which customary arrangements for
repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow
Payments have been collected in full compliance with
state and federal law. No escrow deposits or Escrow
Payments or other charges or payments due the Seller
have been capitalized under the Mortgage Note;
(xxx) No Condemnation.
There is no proceeding pending or to the best of the
Seller's knowledge threatened for the total or
partial condemnation of the related Mortgaged
Property;
(xxxi) The Appraisal.
The Servicing File include an appraisal, with the
exception of any Time$aver(R) Mortgage Loan (which at
the original origination were on form 1004 or form
2055 with interior inspections), of the related
Mortgaged Property. The appraisal was conducted by an
appraiser who had no interest, direct or indirect, in
the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the
security thereof; and whose compensation is not
affected by the approval or disapproval of the
Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and the appraiser
both satisfy the applicable requirements of Title XI
of the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery, and
Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations
promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date
the Mortgage Loan was originated;
(xxxii) Insurance.
The Mortgaged Property securing each Mortgage Loan is
insured by an insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or
Xxxxxxx Mac against loss by fire and such hazards as
are covered under a standard extended coverage
endorsement and such other hazards as are customary
in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located
pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the
requirements of Section 4.10 of the Servicing
Agreement, in an amount which is at least equal to
the lesser of (1) 100% of the insurable value, on a
replacement cost basis, of the improvements on the
related Mortgaged Property, or (2) the greater of (x)
the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan or (y) an amount such that the proceeds of such
insurance shall be sufficient to avoid the
application to the Mortgagor or loss payee of any
coinsurance clause under the policy. If the Mortgaged
Property is a condominium unit, it is included under
the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the
project. If the improvements on the Mortgaged
Property are 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 and (c) the maximum amount of insurance which
was available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973, as amended. All individual insurance
policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming
the Seller and its successors and assigns as
mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid.
The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to
maintain a hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor's
cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to
do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to
obtain and maintain such insurance at such
Mortgagor's cost and expense, and to seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. The hazard
insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation
of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will
be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit
of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The
Seller has not acted or failed to act so as to impair
the coverage of any such insurance policy or the
validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof;
(xxxiii) Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.
The Mortgagor has not notified the Seller, and the
Seller has no knowledge of any relief requested or
allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers
Civil Relief Act, as amended;
(xxxiv) No Balloon Payments, Graduated Payments or Contingent
Interests.
The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage
loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared
appreciation or other contingent interest feature. No
Mortgage Loan has a balloon payment feature;
(xxxv) No Construction Loans.
No Mortgage Loan was made in connection with (1) the
construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgage Property
or (2) facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a
Mortgaged Property other than a
construction-to-permanent loan which has converted to
a permanent Mortgage Loan;
(xxxvi) Underwriting.
Each Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance
with the Underwriting Guidelines of the Seller; and
the Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms
acceptable to Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae;
(xxxvii) Buydown Mortgage Loans.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan that is a Buydown
Mortgage Loan:
(1) On or before the date of origination of such
Mortgage Loan, the Seller and the Mortgagor,
or the Seller, the Mortgagor and the seller
of the Mortgaged Property or a third party
entered into a Buydown Agreement. The
Buydown Agreement provides that the seller
of the Mortgaged Property (or third party)
shall deliver to the Seller temporary
Buydown Funds in an amount equal to the
aggregate undiscounted amount of payments
that, when added to the amount the Mortgagor
on such Mortgage Loan is obligated to pay on
each Due Date in accordance with the terms
of the Buydown Agreement, is equal to the
full scheduled Monthly Payment due on such
Mortgage Loan. The temporary Buydown Funds
enable the Mortgagor to qualify for the
Buydown Mortgage Loan. The effective
interest rate of a Buydown Mortgage Loan if
less than the interest rate set forth in the
related Mortgage Note will increase within
the Buydown Period as provided in the
related Buydown Agreement so that the
effective interest rate will be equal to the
interest rate as set forth in the related
Mortgage Note. The Buydown Mortgage Loan
satisfies the requirements of the
Underwriting Guidelines;
(2) The Mortgage and Mortgage Note reflect the
permanent payment terms rather than the
payment terms of the Buydown Agreement. The
Buydown Agreement provides for the payment
by the Mortgagor of the full amount of the
Monthly Payment on any Due Date that the
Buydown Funds are available. The Buydown
Funds were not used to reduce the original
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or to
increase the Appraised Value of the Mortgage
Property when calculating the Loan-to-Value
Ratios for purposes of the Agreement and, if
the Buydown Funds were provided by the
Seller and if required under Underwriting
Guidelines, the terms of the Buydown
Agreement were disclosed to the appraiser of
the Mortgaged Property;
(3) The Buydown Funds may not be refunded to the
Mortgagor unless the Mortgagor makes a
principal payment for the outstanding
balance of the Mortgage Loan; and
(4) As of the date of origination of the
Mortgage Loan, the provisions of the related
Buydown Agreement complied with the
requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac
regarding buydown agreements;
(xxxviii) Cooperative Loans.

as a tenant-stockholder in a Cooperative.
Each original UCC financing statement,
continuation statement or other governmental
filing or recordation necessary to create or
preserve the perfection and priority of the
first lien and security interest in the
Cooperative Loan and Proprietary Lease has
been timely and properly made. Any security
agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent
document related to the Cooperative Loan and
delivered to Purchaser or its designee
establishes in Purchaser a valid and
subsisting perfected first lien on and
security interest in the Mortgaged Property
described therein, and Purchaser has full
right to sell and assign the same;
(2) A Cooperative Lien Search has been made by a
company competent to make the same which
company is acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do business in
the jurisdiction where the Cooperative is
located;
(3) (i) The term of the related Proprietary
Lease is not less than the terms of the
Cooperative Loan; (ii) there is no provision
in any Proprietary Lease which requires the
Mortgagor to offer for sale the Cooperative
Shares owned by such Mortgagor first to the
Cooperative; (iii) there is no prohibition
in any Proprietary Lease against pledging
the Cooperative Shares or assigning the
Proprietary Lease; (iv) the Cooperative has
been created and exists in full compliance
with the requirements for residential
cooperatives in the jurisdiction in which
the Project is located and qualifies as a
cooperative housing corporation under
Section 210 of the Code; (v) the Recognition
Agreement is on a form published by Aztech
Document Services, Inc. or includes similar
provisions; and (vi) the Cooperative has

liens or encumbrances, except the lien of
any blanket mortgage;
(4) The Seller has the right under the terms of
the Mortgage Note, Pledge Agreement and
Recognition Agreement to pay any maintenance
charges or assessments owed by the
Mortgagor; and
(5) Each Stock Power (i) has all signatures
guaranteed or (ii) if all signatures are not
guaranteed, then such Cooperative Shares
will be transferred by the stock transfer
agent of the Cooperative if the Seller
undertakes to convert the ownership of the
collateral securing the related Cooperative
Loan.;

determined without giving effect to any available
federal preemption, other than any exemptions
specifically provided for in the relevant state or
local law);
(xl) Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

provision, to the extent not prohibited by federal
law, for the acceleration of the payment of the
unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the
event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or
transferred without the prior written consent of the
Mortgagee thereunder, provided that, with respect to
Mortgage Notes which bear an adjustable rate of
interest, such provision shall not be enforceable if
the Mortgagor causes to be submitted to the Seller to
evaluate the intended transferee as if a new Mortgage
Loan were being made to such transferee, and the
Seller reasonably determines that the security will
not be impaired by such Mortgage Loan assumption and
that the risk of breach of any covenant or agreement
in such Mortgage is acceptable to the Purchaser;
(xliii) Credit Reporting.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller has
furnished complete information on the related
borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans

the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing

of which have been sent for recordation;
(xlv) Single Premium Credit Life Insurance.
No Mortgagor has been offered or required to purchase
single premium credit insurance in connection with
the origination of the Mortgage Loan;

represents a legal, permissible use of the Mortgaged
Property under federal, state and local laws and
ordinances; (iii) the Mortgagor is both the owner and

FORM OF RESIDUAL CERTIFICATE TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT
STATE OF )
) ss.:
COUNTY OF )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The undersigned is an officer of, the proposed Transferee of an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate (the "Certificate") issued pursuant
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2006 (the
"Agreement"), among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc., as depositor (the
"Depositor"), Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. as Servicer, (the "Servicer"), Citibank,
N.A. as trust administrator and U.S. Bank National Association, 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 for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee.
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 for its own account. 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 not
Permitted Transferees; (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 not a Permitted Transferee, 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 a Permitted Transferee 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 not a
Permitted Transferee 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 a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through
entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this
purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real
estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate,
and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of
the Agreement 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(d) 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 Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth as Exhibit L 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 has historically paid its debts as they have come
due, intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future, and understands
that the taxes payable with respect to the Certificate may exceed the cash flow
with respect thereto in some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as
they become due. 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.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is ___________.
9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section
7701(a)(30).
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a
"noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of proposed 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 from 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 U.S.
person.
12. Check one of the following:
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 Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii)
and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) of the U.S. Treasury
Regulations; 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 that is substantially similar to
Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting
on behalf of or investing plan assets 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

financial information regarding Party A or its group of affiliated
entities, if applicable, depending on the aggregate "significance
percentage" of this Agreement and any other derivative contracts
between Party A or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, and
Party B, as calculated from time to time in accordance with Item 1115
of Regulation AB.
(ii) It shall be a swap disclosure event ("SWAP DISCLOSURE EVENT") if,
on any Business Day after the date hereof, CMLTI requests from Party A
the applicable financial information described in Item 1115 of
Regulation AB (such request to be based on a reasonable determination
by CMLTI, in good faith, that such information is required under
Regulation AB) (the "SWAP FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE").

own expense, shall (a) provide to CMLTI the Swap Financial Disclosure,
(b) secure another entity (which may be an affiliate of Party A) to
replace Party A as party to this Agreement on terms substantially

comply with the requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation AB or (c)
obtain a guaranty, subject to Rating Agency Condition, in a form
reasonably acceptable to S&P, Xxxxx'x, and Fitch, as applicable, of, or

that such person is an affiliate of Party A that is able to comply with
the financial information disclosure requirements of Item 1115 of
Regulation AB, such that disclosure provided in respect of such
affiliate will satisfy any disclosure requirements applicable to Party
A, and provided, further, that Party A will cause such affiliate to
provide Swap Financial Disclosure to CMLTI. If permitted by Regulation
AB, any required Swap Financial Disclosure may be provided by
incorporation by reference from reports filed pursuant to the Exchange

Financial Disclosure to CMLTI in accordance with Part 5(m)(iii)(a) or

will indemnify and hold harmless CMLTI, its respective directors or
officers and any person controlling CMLTI, from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Swap
Financial Disclosure or caused by any omission or alleged omission to
state in such Swap Financial Disclosure a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(n) AMENDMENT TO ISDA FORM.
The "Failure to Pay or Deliver" provision in Section 5(a)(i) of the
Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the word "third" in the third
line thereof and inserting the word "first" in place thereof.
(o) SEVERABILITY.
If any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this Agreement, or
the application thereof to any party or circumstance, shall be held to
be invalid or unenforceable (in whole or in part) for any reason, the
remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions hereof shall
continue in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been
executed with the invalid or unenforceable portion eliminated, so long
as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material
change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter
of this Agreement and the deletion of such portion of this Agreement
will not substantially impair the respective benefits or expectations
of the parties. The parties shall endeavor to engage in good faith
negotiations to replace any invalid or unenforceable term, provision,
covenant or condition with a valid or enforceable term, provision,
covenant or condition, the economic effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the invalid or unenforceable term, provision,
covenant or condition.

GUARANTY
To: U.S. Bank National Association, not in its individual capacity, but solely
as trustee for the Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc., Asset Backed Pass-Through

"Guarantor"), hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the prompt
payment as and when due of all obligations of its indirect, wholly-owned
subsidiary SWISS RE FINANCIAL PRODUCTS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("THE
GUARANTEED SUBSIDIARY") under, in connection with or ancillary to a long form
confirmation dated as of February 28, 2006 between the Beneficiary and THE
GUARANTEED SUBSIDIARY as amended or restated from time to time (the
"Agreements") which support the issuance of the Rated Securities. In this
Guarantee these obligations are referred to as the "Guaranteed Obligations".
This Guarantee is given solely for the benefit of, and is enforceable only by,
the Beneficiary or any trustee as assignee of the Beneficiary to which this
Guarantee has been validly assigned in accordance with applicable law and who is
acting as trustee for the investors in the Rated Securities.
2. This Guarantee constitutes a Guarantee of payment and not of collection
and is not conditional or contingent upon any attempts to collect from, or
pursue or exhaust any rights or remedies against, THE GUARANTEED SUBSIDIARY. A
demand for payment hereunder may at the Beneficiary's option be made in writing
addressed to the Chief Financial Officer of the Guarantor. This Guarantee is not
however dependent in any way on the manner of the demand for payment. Delay in
making a claim will not affect the Guarantor's obligations under this Guarantee
unless the relevant legal limitation period has expired.
3. This Guarantee constitutes, and is intended by the Guarantor to
constitute, an unlimited non-accessory undertaking (,,unbeschrankte, nicht
akzessorische Verpflichtung") within the meaning of Article 111 of the Swiss
Code of Obligations (,CO`) and is not a mere surety (,,Burgschaft") within the
meaning of Article 492 et seq of the CO.
4. Notwithstanding any reference to the obligations of THE GUARANTEED
SUBSIDIARY, the Guarantor's obligations under this Guarantee are its absolute
and independent obligations as a primary obligor. Payment of a claim hereunder
is required as soon as the Guaranteed Obligations are due and payable.
5. To the extent that any event or circumstance would give rise to any
legal or equitable discharge, defence or other rights of the Guarantor under
this Guarantee, but which event or circumstance would not give rise to any
discharge, defence or other rights of THE GUARANTEED SUBSIDIARY under the
Agreements, the Guarantor hereby fully waives, subject to paragraph 7 below,
such discharge, defence, or other rights and the Guarantor's liability hereunder
shall continue as if such event or circumstance had not arisen.
6. The Guarantor further agrees, subject to paragraph 7 below, that to the
extent that any event or circumstance gives rise to any legal or equitable
discharge, defence or other rights available to both the Guarantor under the
Guarantee and THE GUARANTEED SUBSIDIARY under the Agreements, the Guarantor
hereby agrees to waive such discharge, defense or other rights against the
Beneficiary, until such time as all the Guaranteed Obligations in relation to
the same event or circumstance have been fully met as required to protect
investors in the Rated Securities.
7. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guarantee, the Guarantor
will have the right, prior to making any payment under this Guarantee, to (a)
assert such rights of offset as are set forth in the Agreements to the extent
that such rights relate to amounts due and payable by the Beneficiary to THE
GUARANTEED SUBSIDIARY and not to amounts which are subject to dispute; and (b)
defend manifestly fraudulent claims under this Guarantee made by the
Beneficiary.
8. This Guarantee will continue in full force and effect in relation to
all Guaranteed Obligations until all the Guaranteed Obligations have been
satisfied in full. For the avoidance of doubt, all Guaranteed Obligations
entered into by THE GUARANTEED SUBSIDIARY during the term of this Guarantee
shall be honoured in accordance with this Guarantee and shall be binding on the
Guarantor and its successors and assigns. This Guarantee may be amended only as
necessary to reflect changes to the Guaranteed Obligations which are validly
agreed to by the Beneficiary (or the trustee as assignee of the Beneficiary) in
accordance with the terms of the Rated Securities, including any requirement to
obtain the consent of some or all of the investors in the Rated Securities.
9. If any payment by THE GUARANTEED SUBSIDIARY is avoided, recaptured or
reduced as a result of insolvency or any similar event affecting creditors
rights generally having occurred in respect of THE GUARANTEED SUBSIDIARY, the
Guarantor's liability under this Guarantee shall continue as if the avoided,
recaptured or reduced payment had not occurred.
10. Upon payment by the Guarantor to the Beneficiary of any amount due
under this Guarantee, the Guarantor shall be entitled to require the assignment
to it of the rights of the Beneficiary against THE GUARANTEED SUBSIDIARY to the
extent satisfied by such payment, and the Beneficiary will take at the
Guarantor's expense such steps as the Guarantor may reasonably require to
implement such assignment. The Guarantor shall not exercise any rights against
THE GUARANTEED SUBSIDIARY which it may acquire in consequence of such payment
and assignment unless and until all the Guaranteed Obligations to the
Beneficiary shall have been paid in full.
11. This Guarantee is governed and will be construed in accordance with
Swiss law. The exclusive place of jurisdiction for any legal proceeding
hereunder shall be Zurich, Switzerland.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has caused this Guarantee to be executed in
its name as of the 28th day of February, 2006.
