disregarded and the undivided Percentage Interest evidenced thereby shall not be taken into account
in determining whether the requisite amount of Percentage Interests necessary to effect any such

determination of which Certificates are registered in the name of such Affiliates.

If in connection with any Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan the Depositor cannot deliver
the Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage, or assumption, consolidation or modification agreement, as
the case may be, with evidence of recording thereon concurrently with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement solely because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such Mortgage,
Assignments of Mortgage, or assumption, consolidation or modification agreement, as the case may
be, has been delivered for recordation, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee written notice stating that such Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage, or assumption,
consolidation or modification agreement, as the case may be, has been delivered to the appropriate
public recording office for recordation. Thereafter, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee such Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage, or assumption, consolidation or
modification agreement, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon
receipt thereof from the public recording office.
With respect to any Non-MERS Mortgage Loans which are not Co-op Loans, and as to which the
related Mortgaged Property is located in Florida, the Servicer shall cause to be recorded in the
appropriate public recording office for real property records each Assignment of Mortgage referred
to in this Section 2.01 as soon as practicable. With respect to any Non-MERS Mortgage Loans which
are not Co-op Loans as to which the related Mortgaged Property is located outside of Florida, the
Servicer shall not be obligated to cause to be recorded the Assignment of Mortgage referred to in
this Section 2.01. With respect to Co-op Loans as to which the related dwelling unit is located in
Florida, the Servicer shall cause to be filed in the appropriate filing office the Form UCC-3
referred to in this Section 2.01 as soon as practicable. With respect to any Co-op Loans as to
which the related dwelling unit is located outside Florida, the Servicer shall not be obligated to
cause to be filed the Form UCC-3 referred to in this Section 2.01. While each such Assignment of
Mortgage or Form UCC-3 is being recorded or filed, as applicable, the Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee a photocopy of such document. If any such Assignment of Mortgage or Form UCC-3 is returned
unrecorded or unfiled to the Servicer because of any defect therein, the Servicer shall cause such
defect to be cured and such document to be recorded or filed in accordance with this paragraph.
The Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered each such original recorded or filed
Assignment of Mortgage and intermediate assignment or Form UCC-3 to the Trustee within 270 days of
the Closing Date or shall deliver to the Trustee on or before such date an Officer’s Certificate
34
stating that such document has been delivered to the appropriate public recording or filing
office for recording or filing, but has not been returned solely because of a delay caused by such
recording or filing office. In any event, the Depositor shall use all reasonable efforts to cause
each such document with evidence of recording or filing thereon to be delivered to the Trustee
within 300 days of the Closing Date.
With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Trustee, at the expense of the Depositor and at
the direction and with the cooperation of the Servicer, shall cause to be taken such actions as are
necessary to cause the Trustee to be clearly identified as the trustee of each such Mortgage Loan
on the records of MERS for purposes of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of
mortgages maintained by MERS.
The ownership of each Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the contents of the related Mortgage
File is vested in the Trustee. Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall take any action
inconsistent with such ownership and shall not claim any ownership interest therein. The Depositor
and the Servicer shall respond to any third party inquiries with respect to ownership of the
Mortgage Loans by stating that such ownership is held by the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. Mortgage documents relating to the Mortgage Loans not delivered to the Trustee
are and shall be held in trust by the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee
as the owner thereof, and the Servicer’s or such Sub-Servicer’s possession of the contents of each
Mortgage File so retained is for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan, and such
retention and possession by the Servicer or such Sub-Servicer is in a custodial capacity only. The
Depositor agrees to take no action inconsistent with the Trustee’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans,
to promptly indicate to all inquiring parties that the Mortgage Loans have been sold and to claim
no ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans. Each Mortgage File and the mortgage documents
relating to the Mortgage Loans contain proprietary business information of the Servicer and its
customers. The Trustee and the Depositor agree that they will not use such information for
business purposes without the express written consent of the Servicer and that all such information
shall be kept strictly confidential.
It is the intention of this Agreement that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and
interest in and to the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale
and not a loan. If a conveyance of Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Depositor is
characterized as a pledge and not a sale, then the Depositor shall be deemed to have transferred to
the Trustee all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the obligations of
the Seller deemed to be secured by said pledge; and it is the intention of this Agreement that the
Depositor shall also be deemed to have granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in
all of the Depositor’s right, title, and interest in, to and under the obligations of the Seller to
the Depositor deemed to be secured by said pledge and that the Trustee shall be deemed to be an
independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the security interest granted to the Depositor.
If the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans from the Depositor to the Trustee is characterized as a
pledge, it is the intention of this Agreement that this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law, and that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the
Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in,
to and under the Mortgage Loans, all payments of principal of or interest on such Mortgage Loans,
all other rights relating to and payments made in respect of the Trust Fund, and all proceeds of
any thereof. If the trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction of the
claims of any Person in any Certificates, the security interest created hereby shall continue in
full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of
such Person.
In addition to the conveyance made in the first paragraph of this Section 2.01, the Depositor
does hereby convey, assign and set over to the Trustee all of its right, title and interest in that
portion of the Trust Fund described in items (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of the definition thereof
and further assigns to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders those representations
and warranties of the Seller
35
contained in the Sale Agreement and described in Section 3.01 hereof and the benefit of the
repurchase obligations of the Seller described in Sections 2.02 and 3.01 hereof and the obligations
of the Seller contained in the Sale Agreement to take, at the request of the Depositor or the
Trustee, all action on its part which is reasonably necessary to ensure the enforceability of a
Mortgage Loan.
The parties hereto agree and understand that it is not intended that any mortgage loan be
included in the Trust that is any of (i) a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Jersey Home
Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003, (ii) a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New
Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004, (iii) a “High-Cost Home Mortgage Loan”
as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act effective November 7, 2004 or
(iv) a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined by the Indiana High Cost Home Loan Law effective January 1,
2005.
Section 2.02 Acceptance by Trustee. Except as set forth in the Exception Report
delivered contemporaneously herewith (the “Exception Report”), the Trustee acknowledges receipt by
the Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf of the Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan and delivery of a
Mortgage File (but does not acknowledge receipt of all documents required to be included in such
Mortgage File) with respect to each Mortgage Loan and declares that the Custodian holds and will
hold on the Trustee’s behalf such documents and any other documents constituting a part of the
Mortgage Files delivered to it in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. The Depositor will cause the Seller to repurchase any Mortgage Loans to which
an exception was taken in the Exception Report unless such exception is cured to the satisfaction
of the Trustee within 45 Business Days of the Closing Date. The Trustee may accept delivery of
such Mortgage Files by the Custodian on its behalf. The Custodian will deliver a copy of the
Exception Report to the Depositor and the Trustee
The Custodian, on the Trustee’s behalf, agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, to
review each Mortgage File delivered to it within 270 days after the Closing Date to ascertain that
all documents required by Section 2.01 have been executed and received, and that such documents
relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit A that have been conveyed to it. If the
Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage
File to be missing or defective (that is, mutilated, damaged, defaced or unexecuted) in any
material respect, the Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf shall promptly (and in any event within no
more than five Business Days) after such finding so notify the Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee
and the Depositor. In addition, the Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf shall also notify the
Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Depositor, if (a) in examining the Mortgage Files, the
documentation shows on its face (i) any adverse claim, lien or encumbrance, (ii) that any Mortgage
Note was overdue or had been dishonored, (iii) any evidence on the face of any Mortgage Note or
Mortgage of any security interest or other right or interest therein, or (iv) any defense against
or claim to the Mortgage Note by any party or (b) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording
thereon with respect to a Mortgage Loan is not received within 270 days of the Closing Date;
provided, however, that if the Depositor cannot deliver the original Mortgage with evidence of
recording thereon because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such Mortgage has
been delivered for recordation, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Custodian and the Trustee written notice stating that such Mortgage has been delivered to the
appropriate public recording officer for recordation and thereafter the Depositor shall deliver or
cause to be delivered such Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon upon receipt thereof from
the public recording office. The Depositor shall request that the Seller correct or cure such
omission, defect or other irregularity, or substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the provisions of
Section 3.03, within 60 days from the date the Seller was notified of such omission or defect and,
if the Seller does not correct or cure such omission or defect within such period, that the Seller
purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from the date the Depositor notified
the Seller and the Trustee of such omission, defect or other irregularity at the Purchase Price of
such Mortgage Loan. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan
36
purchased pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be paid to the Servicer and deposited by the
Servicer in the Collection Account promptly upon receipt, and, upon receipt by the Trustee of
written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall promptly
release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the
Seller or its designee, as the case may be, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and the
Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage Loan. It is understood
and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to purchase, cure or substitute any Mortgage Loan as
to which a material defect in or omission of a constituent document exists shall constitute the
sole remedy respecting such defect or omission available to the Trustee on behalf of
Certificateholders. The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review and
examine such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are
genuine, enforceable or appropriate to the represented purpose, or that they have actually been
recorded, or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. The Trustee shall
keep confidential the name of each Mortgagor and shall not solicit any such Mortgagor for the
purpose of refinancing the related Mortgage Loan.
Within 280 days of the Closing Date, the Trustee based solely on information provided to it
by the Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer the Trustee’s Certification,
substantially in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto, setting forth the status of the Mortgage
Files as of such date.
Section 2.03 Trust Fund; Authentication of Certificates. The Trustee acknowledges and
accepts the assignment to it of the Trust Fund created pursuant to this Agreement in trust for the
use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges the
assignment to it for the benefit of the Trust Fund of the Mortgage Loans and has caused to be
authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange for the Mortgage
Loans, Certificates and Uncertificated REMIC Interests duly authenticated by the Trustee or, if an
Authenticating Agent has been appointed pursuant to Section 4.06, the Authenticating Agent in
authorized denominations evidencing ownership of the entire Trust Fund.
Section 2.04 REMIC Elections.
(a) The Depositor hereby instructs and authorizes the Paying Agent to make appropriate
elections to treat the Trust Fund as comprising two REMICs (the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier
REMIC). This Agreement shall be construed so as to carry out the intention of the parties that
each REMIC created hereunder be treated as a REMIC at all times prior to the date on which the
Trust Fund is terminated. The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “startup day” of each REMIC
created hereunder within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The Lower-Tier REMIC shall
hold as assets all property of the Trust Fund other than the Lower-Tier REMIC Interests. Each of
the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests is hereby designated a “regular interest” (within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code) in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Upper-Tier REMIC shall
hold as assets the several classes of uncertificated Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests. Each of
the Upper-Tier REMIC Regular Interests is hereby designated as a “regular interest” (within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code) in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Class LT-R Interest is
hereby designated as the sole residual interest (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the
Code) in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Residual Interest is hereby designated as the sole residual
interest (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code) in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Class
A-R Certificate evidences ownership of the Class LT-R Interest and the Residual Interest. All
interests described in this Section 2.04(a) shall be designated as such on the Startup Day.

The Class LT-R Interest shall represent the sole class of residual interest in the
Lower-Tier REMIC. The Class LT-R Interest will not have a principal amount or an interest
rate. The Class LT-R Interest shall be represented by the Class A-R Certificate. |
|
(2) |
|
The initial principal amount of the Class LTA-P Interest shall equal the Original
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-P Certificates. |
|
(3) |
|
The Class LT1A-X Interest is an interest only interest, has no principal balance, is
not entitled to payments of principal and will bear interest on its notional amount. The
notional amount of the Class LT1A-X Interest shall equal the Class 1-AX Notional Amount. |
|
(4) |
|
The Class LT2A-X Interest is an interest only interest, has no principal balance, is
not entitled to payments of principal and will bear interest on its notional amount. The
notional amount of the Class LT2A-X Interest shall equal the Class 2-AX Notional Amount. |
|
(5) |
|
The initial principal amount of the Class LT1-A Interest shall equal 1% of the Group
One Subordinated Amount as of the first Distribution Date. |
|
(6) |
|
The initial principal amount of each Lower-Tier REMIC Interest ending with the
designation “B” shall equal the excess of (i) the initial Group One Non-PO Allocated Amount
(in the case of the Class LT1-B Interest) or the initial Group Two Non-PO Allocated Amount
(in the case of the Class LT2-B Interest) over (ii) the initial principal amount of the
Lower-Tier REMIC Interest ending with the designation “A” that is related to the same
Mortgage Group. |
|
(7) |
|
The initial principal amount of the Class LT2-A Interest shall equal 1% of the Group
Two Subordinated Amount as of the first Distribution Date. |
Interest shall be payable to, and shortfalls and losses are allocable to, the Class LT1-AX
Interest as such amounts are payable or allocable to the Class 1-AX Certificates. Interest shall be
payable to, and shortfalls and losses are allocable to, the Class LT2-AX Interest as such amounts
are payable or allocable to the Class 2-AX Certificates.
Principal shall be payable to, and shortfalls, losses, prepayments and increases in principal
amount related to Subsequent Recoveries are allocable to, the Class LTA-P Interest as such amounts
are payable or allocable to the Class A-P Certificates.
After the foregoing allocations and distributions are made to the Class LT1-AX Interest, Class
38
LT2-AX Interest and the Class LTA-P Interest, distributions shall be deemed to be made and Realized
Losses shall be deemed to be allocated to the other Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests first, so as
to keep the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interest ending with
the designation “A” equal to 1% of the excess of (x) the Group One Non-PO Allocated Amount (in the
case of the Class LT1-A Interest) or the Group Two Non-PO Allocated Amount (in the case of the
Class LT2-A Interest) over (y) the aggregate class principal amounts of the Class 1-A Certificates
(in the case of the Class LT1-A Interest) or the Class 2-A Certificates (in the case of the Class
LT2-A Interest) (except that if 1% of any such excess is greater than the principal amount of the
corresponding Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interest ending with the designation “A”, the least amount
of principal and Realized Losses shall be distributed and allocated to such Lower-Tier REMIC
Regular Interests such that the Lower-Tier REMIC Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and
second, any remaining principal and Realized Losses to the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests
ending with the designation “B” in such a manner that the remaining principal balance of each such
Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interest equals the excess of (x) the Group One Non-PO Allocated Amount
(in the case of the Class LT1-B Interest) or the Group Two Non-PO Allocated Amount (in the case of
the Class LT2-B Interest) over (y) the Uncertificated Principal Balance of the Lower-Tier REMIC
Regular Interest ending with the designation “A” which is related to the same Mortgage Group. All
computations with respect to the Lower-Tier REMIC Interests shall be taken out to eight decimal
places.
If on any Distribution Date there is an increase in the principal amount of any Class of
Certificates (other than the Class A-P Certificates) related to Subsequent Recoveries, then, prior
to distributions of principal and allocations of losses on such Distribution Date with respect to
the Lower-Tier REMIC, there shall be a corresponding increase in the Uncertificated Principal
Balance of the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests, with such increase allocated among the
Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests first, to each Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interest ending with the
designation “A”, so that the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such Lower-Tier REMIC Regular
Interest continues to equal the same percentage of the excess of (x) the Group One Non-PO Allocated
Amount (in the case of the Class LT1-A Interest) or the Group Two Non-PO Allocated Amount (in the
case of the Class LT2-A Interest) over (y) the aggregate class principal amounts of the Class 1-A
Certificates (in the case of the Class LT1-A Interest) or the Class 2-A Certificates (in the case
of the Class LT2-A Interest) and so that the Lower-Tier REMIC Subordinated Balance Ratio is
maintained; and second, any remaining increase allocated to the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests
ending with the designation “B” in such a manner that the principal balance of each such Lower-Tier
REMIC Regular Interest equals the excess of (x) the Group One Non-PO Allocated Amount (in the case
of the Class LT1-B Interest) or the Group Two Non-PO Allocated Amount (in the case of the Class
LT2-B Interest) over (y) the Uncertificated Principal Balance of the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular
Interest ending with the designation “A” which is related to the same Mortgage Group.
39
(b) Solely for the purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations, the
“latest possible maturity date” of each “regular interest” in each REMIC created hereunder is the
Distribution Date immediately following the latest scheduled maturity of any Mortgage Loan.
(c) The “tax matters person” with respect to each REMIC created hereunder for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions shall be the beneficial owner of the Class A-R Certificate having the largest
Percentage Interest of such Class; provided, however, that such largest beneficial owner and, to
the extent relevant, each other Holder of a Class A-R Certificate, by its acceptance thereof,
irrevocably appoints the Servicer as its agent and attorney-in-fact to act as “tax matters person”
with respect to each REMIC created hereunder for purposes of the REMIC provisions.
(d) It is intended that each REMIC created hereunder shall constitute, and that the affairs of
the Trust Fund shall be conducted so as to qualify each REMIC created hereunder as, a “real estate
mortgage investment conduit” as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In
furtherance of such intention, the Servicer covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and
the Servicer is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of the Trust Fund, each REMIC created
hereunder and the Holder of the Class A-R Certificate and that in such capacity it shall:
(i) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S.
Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066) for each REMIC created
hereunder and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue
Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for
each taxable year with respect to each REMIC created hereunder, using the calendar year as
the taxable year and the accrual method of accounting, containing such information and at
the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws,
regulations, or rules, and shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the
schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required
thereby;
(ii) within thirty days of the Closing Date, shall furnish or cause to be furnished to
the Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the
name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the Holders of the
Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto (and the Servicer shall act as
the representative of the Trust Fund for this purpose), together with such additional
information as may be required by such Form, and shall update such information at the time
or times in the manner required by the Code;
(iii) make or cause to be made an election, on behalf of each REMIC created hereunder,
to be treated as a REMIC, and make the appropriate designations, if applicable, in
accordance with this Section 2.04 on the federal tax return of each REMIC hereunder for its
first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law);
(iv) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the
Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax
authorities, all information returns or reports, or furnish or cause to be furnished by
telephone, mail, publication or other appropriate method such information, as and when
required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without
limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount;
(v) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of
the Class A-R Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, or an agent (including a broker,
40
nominee or other middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, or a pass-through entity in
which a Disqualified Organization is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost
of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such
tax);
(vi) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be
signed by the Trustee or such other Person as may be required to sign such returns by the
Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; and
(vii) maintain such records relating to each REMIC created hereunder as may be required
by the Code and as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements
or information.
(e) Pursuant to Section 6.02(b), the Servicer, with the consent of the Trustee, hereby
appoints the Global Corporate Trust MBS Group of The Bank of
New York Trust Company, N.A. to
perform the duties enumerated in (d) above.
Section 2.05 Permitted Activities of Trust. The Trust is created for the object and
purpose of engaging in the Permitted Activities.
Section 2.06 Qualifying Special Purpose Entity. For purposes of SFAS 140, the parties
hereto intend that the Trust shall be treated as a “qualifying special purpose entity” as such term
is used in SFAS 140 and any successor rule thereto and its power and authority as stated in Section
2.05 of this Agreement shall be limited in accordance with paragraph 35 thereof.

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE DEPOSITOR AND
THE SERVICER; REPURCHASE OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor with respect to the Mortgage
Loans.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders that on or before the Closing Date it has entered into the Sale Agreement with
the Seller, that the Seller has made the following representations and warranties with respect to
each Mortgage Loan in the Sale Agreement as of the Closing Date, which representations and
warranties run to and are for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, and as to which the Depositor has assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of
the Certificateholders, pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the right to cause the Seller to
repurchase a Mortgage Loan as to which there has occurred an uncured breach of representations and
warranties in accordance with the provisions of the Sale Agreement.
(a) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct in
all material respects;
(b) With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage creates a first
lien or a first priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple in real property securing
the related Mortgage Note. With respect to a Co-op Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid,
enforceable and subsisting first security interest on the related cooperative shares securing the
related Mortgage Note, subject only to
41
(a) liens of the related residential cooperative housing corporation for unpaid assessments
representing the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the related residential cooperative housing
corporation’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
(b) 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 related security agreement. There
are no liens against or security interest in the cooperative shares relating to each Co-op Loan
(except for unpaid maintenance, assessments and other amounts owed to the related cooperative which
individually or in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on such Co-op Loan), which
have priority over the Trustee’s security interest in such cooperative shares;
(c) All payments due prior to the Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan have been made as of the
Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan is not delinquent in payment more than 30 days and has not been
dishonored; to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there are no material defaults under the terms
of the Mortgage Loan; the Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly
received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property subject
to the Mortgage (or, with respect to a Co-op Loan, the related Mortgagor), directly or indirectly,
for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan; there has been no more than one
delinquency in excess of 30 days during the preceding twelve-month period;
(d) To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance
premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously
became due and owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount sufficient
to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet
due and payable;
(e) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or
modified in any respect, except by written instruments. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole
or in part, from the terms thereof except in connection with an assumption agreement and which
assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(f) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are 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 Mortgage, or the exercise of any right
thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to
any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no
such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto,
and the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at
the time the Mortgage Loan was originated;
(g) With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, all buildings or other
customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable
under the FNMA Guides against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as
are provided for in the FNMA Guides or by FHLMC. All such standard hazard policies are in full
force and effect and on the date of origination contained a standard mortgagee clause naming the
Seller and its successors in interest and assigns as loss payee and such clause is still in effect
and all premiums due thereon have been paid. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973, as amended, the Mortgaged Property is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration which policy
conforms to FNMA and FHLMC requirements. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to
maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to
do so, authorizes the holder of the
42
Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;
(h) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local laws and all applicable predatory
and abusive lending laws, including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate
settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws
applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with in all material respects;
(i) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated, in whole or in part, or
rescinded, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole
or in part nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation,
subordination or rescission;
(j) With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage is a valid,
subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including, all
buildings on the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any
evidence of any security interest or other interest or right thereto. Such lien is free and clear
of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage
subject only to (1) the lien of non-delinquent 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 which are acceptable to mortgage lending
institutions generally and either (A) which are referred to or otherwise considered in the
appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as 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, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest on the
property described therein, and the Depositor has the full right to sell and assign the same to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders;
(k) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each is the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with
its terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the
rights of creditors and the Depositor has taken all action necessary to transfer such rights of
enforceability to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All parties to the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to
execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have
been duly and property executed by such parties. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully
disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements
as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow
funds therefor have been complied with;
(l) The Seller is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness
evidenced by the Mortgage Note, except for the Assignments of Mortgage which have been sent for
recording, and upon recordation the Seller will be the owner of record of the Mortgage and the
indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note, and upon the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Seller will retain the Mortgage File or any part
thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders
or its designee in trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of the
Mortgage Loan. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Trust for the benefit of
the Certificateholders, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not
subject to an assignment or pledge, and the
43
Depositor had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof and had full right
to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders
free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest and has
the full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any
other party, to sell and assign the Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale
of the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders will own such Mortgage
Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim
or security interest;
(m) With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, the Mortgage Loan is covered by
an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance
acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, issued by a title insurer acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and qualified to
do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the
exceptions contained in (j) (1), (2) and (3) above) the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to
the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan.
Such lender’s title insurance policy insures ingress and egress by or upon the Mortgaged Property
or any interest therein. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given
the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. The Seller, its
successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such
lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect
upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made
under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including
the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s
title insurance policy;
(n) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existent, under the
Mortgage or the related 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 permitting acceleration; and neither the Seller nor any prior mortgagee has waived any
default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration;
(o) 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 law could give rise to such liens) affecting
the related Mortgaged Property (or the related residential dwelling unit in the underlying Mortgage
Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of
the related Mortgage;
(p) With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, all improvements subject to the
Mortgage which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie
wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly
within the project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining properties
encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured against by the title insurance
policy referred to in clause (m) above and all improvements on the property comply with all
applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances; the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied
under applicable law;
(q) The Mortgage Loan complies in all material respects with all the terms, conditions and
requirements of the Seller’s underwriting standards in effect at the time of origination of such
Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Notes and Mortgages (exclusive of any riders) are on forms generally
acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC. Monthly Payments under the Mortgage Note are due and payable on the
first day of each month. The Mortgage contains the usual and enforceable provisions of the
originator at the time of origination for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal
amount of the Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of
the mortgagee thereunder;
44
(r) The Mortgaged Property (or underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan), is
not subject to any material damage by waste, fire, earthquake, windstorm, flood or other casualty.
To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, at origination of the Mortgage Loan there was, and there
currently is, no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property
(or underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan);
(s) The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the
rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged
Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (l) 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 the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right
to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage subject
to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and right of
redemption or similar law;
(t) If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified if
required under applicable law to act as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves
and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses, except as may be required by local law, are
or will become payable by the purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in
connection with a trustee’s sale or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(u) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal or a recertification document (in the case of a
Mortgage Loan originated under CHF’s Streamlined Refinance Program) of the related Mortgaged
Property (or the related residential dwelling unit in the underlying Mortgaged Property, in the
case of a Co-op Loan), signed prior to the final approval of the mortgage loan application by an
appraiser approved by the Seller who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property
(or underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan), or in any loan made on the
security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the
Mortgage Loan. The appraisal is in a form acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC;
(v) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee,
pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest,
were) (A) in substantial compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws
of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property (or underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a
Co-op Loan), is located, and (B) (1) organized under the laws of such state, or (2) qualified to do
business in such state, or (3) federal savings and loan associations or national banks or a Federal
Home Loan Bank or savings bank having principal offices in such state, or (4) not doing business in
such state;
(w) The related Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the
lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security interest of
any applicable agreement or chattel mortgage referred to above and such collateral does not serve
as security for any other obligation;
(x) The Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required by applicable law with
respect to the making of such mortgage loans;
(y) The Mortgage Loan does not contain “graduated payment” features;
(z) The Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy and, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, the
Mortgagor is not insolvent;
45
(aa) The Mortgage Loans are fixed rate mortgage loans. Each Mortgage Loan has an original term
to maturity of not more than thirty (30) years with interest payable in arrears on the first day of
each month. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would result in negative
amortization;
(bb) Each Mortgage Note, each Mortgage, each Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents
required pursuant to this Agreement to be delivered to the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders or its designee, or its assignee for each Mortgage Loan, have been, on or before
the Closing Date, delivered to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders or its designee, or
its assignee;
(cc) All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law and
the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. As to any Mortgage Loan that is the
subject of an escrow, escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established
in an amount sufficient to pay for every escrowed item that remains unpaid and has been assessed
but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or other charges or payments due under the
Mortgage Note have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note. Any interest
required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited;
(dd) [Reserved];
(ee) In the event that at origination the Mortgage Loan has a Loan-to-Value Ratio greater than
80%, the excess of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan over 75% of the Appraised Value of
the Mortgaged Property, with respect to a refinanced Mortgage Loan, or the lesser of the Appraised
Value or the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property (or underlying Mortgaged Property, in the
case of a Co-op Loan), with respect to a purchase money Mortgage Loan, is and will be insured as to
payment defaults by a Primary Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer, except where the
primary mortgage insurance was (i) impermissible at origination at applicable law, in which case
such Mortgage Loan was originated in accordance with applicable law, (ii) cancelled at the request
of the Mortgagor pursuant to the cancellation requirements of FNMA, FHLMC, state law or, as
applicable the Home Owner and Equity Protection Act of 1994, as amended, or (iii) automatically
terminated in accordance with the termination requirements of FNMA, FHLMC, state law or, as
applicable the Home Owner and Equity Protection Act of 1994, as amended. All provisions of such
Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and
effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No action, inaction, or event has occurred
and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense
to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Primary Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain the Primary Insurance Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in
connection therewith. The Mortgage Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule is net of any such insurance premium;
(ff) The Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording (or, in
the case of a Co-op Loan, is in a form acceptable for filing) under the laws of the jurisdiction in
which the Mortgaged Property (or underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) is
located;
(gg) As to Mortgage Loans that are not secured by an interest in a leasehold estate, the
Mortgaged Property (or underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan), is located in
the state identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a single 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 a dwelling unit in a residential
cooperative housing corporation or an individual unit in an attached planned unit development or a
detached planned unit development, provided, however, that no residence or dwelling is a single
parcel of real property with a mobile home thereon. As of the date of origination, no portion of
the Mortgaged Property (or underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan), was used
for commercial purposes, and since the date
46
of origination, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, no portion of the Mortgaged Property
(or underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan), is used for commercial purposes;
(hh) If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit development (other than
a de minimis planned unit development), as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan,
such condominium or planned unit development project met the Seller’s eligibility requirements, as
set forth in the Seller’s underwriting guidelines as of such date; in the case of each Co-op Loan,
the related residential cooperative housing corporation complied in all material respects with the
Seller’s requirements as set forth in the Seller’s underwriting guidelines as of such date;
(ii) To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there is no pending action or proceeding directly
involving the Mortgaged Property (or underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan),
in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue;
(jj) As of the Cut-off Date, the Seller has not granted any interest rate relief to the
Mortgagor under the Relief Act;
(kk) No Mortgage Loan was made in connection with the construction or rehabilitation of a
Mortgaged Property (or underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan), or facilitating
the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property (or underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of
a Co-op Loan);
(ll) No action has been taken or failed to be taken by Depositor, on or prior to the Closing
Date, which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage
under any Primary Insurance Policy (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or
defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of
the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations,
errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Depositor, or for any other reason under such
coverage;
(mm) The Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and
Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, as amended, a
savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or
similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority;
(nn) Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after
funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Note is payable on the
first day of each month in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, with interest
calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated
maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty years from commencement of
amortization;
(oo) As of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (without regard to Treasury Regulations §1.860G-2(f) or any similar
rule that provides that a defective obligation is a qualified mortgage for a temporary period);
(pp) With respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Co-op Loan, the stock that is pledged as
security for the Mortgage Loan is held by a Person as a tenant-stockholder (as defined in Section
216 of the Code) in a cooperative housing corporation (as defined in Section 216 of the Code);
(qq) As of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan is not the subject of pending or final
foreclosure proceedings and the Seller would not, based on the delinquency status of the Mortgage
Loan,
47
institute foreclosure proceedings with respect to the Mortgage Loan prior to the next
scheduled payment for the Mortgage Loan;
(rr) As of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan does not provide for interest other than at
either (i) a single fixed rate in effect throughout the term of the Mortgage Loan or (ii) a
“variable rate” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(3)) in effect
throughout the term of the Mortgage Loan;
(ss) No Mortgage Loan is a “covered loan” within the meaning of the Georgia Fair Lending Act
of 2002, as amended;
(tt) None of the Mortgage Loans are (a) covered by the Home Ownership and Equity Protection
Act of 1994 or (b) classified as a “high cost” loan or similarly classified using different
terminology under any federal, state or local law imposing heightened regulatory scrutiny or
additional legal liability for residential mortgage loans having high interest rates, points and/or
fees such as predatory lending laws; None of the Mortgage Loans are “high cost” loans as defined by
the applicable federal, state or local predatory and abusive lending laws nor is any Mortgage Loan
a “High Cost Loan” or “Covered Loan,” as applicable (as such terms are defined in the current
Standard & Poor’s LEVELS® Glossary dated November 9, 2007, appendix E) and no Mortgage Loan
originated on or after October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair
Lending Act of 2002, as amended; and
(uu) As to each Mortgage Loan that is secured by an interest in a leasehold estate, (i) the
use of a leasehold estate for residential properties is an accepted practice in the area where the
related Mortgaged Property is located, (ii) residential property consisting of leasehold estates is
marketable in the area where the related Mortgaged Property is located, (iii) the related lease has
been recorded in the applicable land records, (iv) the lease is valid and in good standing and is
not subject to any prior lien by which the lease could be terminated or subject to any charge or
penalty, and (v) the remaining term of the lease does not terminate less than five years after the
maturity date of such Mortgage Loan.
Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the
foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of a
Mortgage Loan or the interest of the Certificateholders (or which materially and adversely affects
the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a
representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties and to the Seller, which notice shall
specify the date of discovery. Pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the Seller shall within 90 days
from the earlier of (i) the date of receipt of notice of such breach or (ii) the date the Seller
otherwise discovers such breach, cure such breach, substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the
provisions of Section 3.03 or, if the breach relates to a particular Mortgage Loan, purchase such
Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for the purchased
Mortgage Loan shall be paid to the Servicer and shall be deposited by the Servicer in the
Collection Account promptly upon receipt, and, upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification
of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall promptly release to the Seller the
related Mortgage File, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment as may be provided to it by the Servicer, without recourse, as shall be necessary to
vest in the Seller or its designee, as the case may be, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto,
and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage Loan. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure, substitute or purchase any
Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred shall constitute the sole remedy respecting
such breach available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders.
48
Section 3.02 Representations and Warranties of the Servicer. The Servicer represents
and warrants to, and covenants with, the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders that as
of the Closing Date:
(a) The Servicer is a limited liability company duly chartered and validly existing in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and the Servicer is duly qualified or registered
as a foreign corporation in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the ownership or lease or
its properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification;
(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Servicer and its performance and
compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not violate the Servicer’s certificate of
formation or by-laws or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or
both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material contract,
agreement or other instrument to which the Servicer is a party or which may be applicable to the
Servicer or any of its assets;
(c) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee and the
Depositor, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Servicer, enforceable against
it in accordance with the terms hereof subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally
and to general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law;
(d) The Servicer is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any
order, regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency, which default
might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or
other) or operations of the Servicer or its properties or might have consequences that would affect
its performance hereunder; and
(e) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Servicer’s knowledge, threatened against
the Servicer which would prohibit its entering into this Agreement or performing its obligations
under this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 3.02 shall survive the issuance and delivery of the Certificates and shall be
continuing as long as any Certificate shall be outstanding or this Agreement has been terminated.
Section 3.03 Option to Substitute. If the Seller is required to repurchase any
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 3.01, the Seller may, at its option, within two years
from the Closing Date, remove such defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and
substitute another mortgage loan for such defective Mortgage Loan, in lieu of repurchasing such
defective Mortgage Loan. Any substitute Mortgage Loan shall (a) have a Principal Balance at the
time of substitution not in excess of the Principal Balance of the removed Mortgage Loan (the
amount of any difference, plus one month’s interest thereon at the Mortgage Rate borne by the
removed Mortgage Loan, being paid by the Seller and deemed to be a Principal Prepayment to be
deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account), (b) have a Mortgage Rate not less than, and
not more than one percentage point greater than, the Mortgage Rate of the removed Mortgage Loan
(provided, however, that if the Mortgage Rate on the substitute Mortgage Loan exceeds the Mortgage
Rate on the removed Mortgage Loan, the amount of that excess interest (the “Substitute Excess
Interest”) shall be payable to the Class A-R Certificate), (c) have a remaining term to stated
maturity not later than, and not more than one year less than, the remaining term to stated
maturity of the removed Mortgage Loan, (d) be, in the reasonable determination of the Servicer, of
the same type, quality and character (including location of the Mortgaged Property (or underlying
Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan)) as the removed Mortgage Loan as if the breach had
not occurred, (e) have a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination no greater than that of the removed
Mortgage Loan and (f) be, in the
49
reasonable determination of the Seller, in material compliance with the representations and
warranties contained in the Sale Agreement and described in Section 3.01, as of the date of
substitution.
The Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the removed
Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and the substitution of such substitute Mortgage Loan therefor
and shall send a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Servicer and the Trustee. The
Sale Agreement provides that upon such amendment the Seller shall be deemed to have made as to such
substitute Mortgage Loan the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01 as of the
date of such substitution, which shall be continuing as long as any Certificate shall be
outstanding or this Agreement has not been terminated, and the remedies for breach of any such
representation or warranty shall be as set forth in Section 3.01. Upon such amendment, the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall review the Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the
substitute Mortgage Loan, within the time and in the manner and with the remedies specified in
Section 2.02, except that for purposes of this Section 3.03 (other than the two-year period
specified in the first sentence of this Section), such time shall be measured from the date of the
applicable substitution. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the substitute
Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made
thereon during such month shall be the property of the Trust Fund, and accrued interest for such
month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made
thereon during such month shall be the property of the Seller. The principal payment on a
substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of
the Seller, and the principal payment on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due
on such date shall be the property of the Trust Fund.

Participants and persons shown on the books of such Indirect Participants as direct or indirect
Certificate Owners. The Depository Agreement provides that the Depository shall maintain
book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and
transfers of such Certificates.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance
with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such
Certificate Owners. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance
with the Depository’s normal procedures.
(c) If (i)(A) the Depository advises the Depositor, the Paying Agent or the Trustee in writing
that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as
Depository and (B) the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Depositor are unable after exercise of
their reasonable best efforts to locate a qualified successor or (ii) the Depositor at its option
advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the
Depository, the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying
Agent, shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such
event and of the availability of definitive, fully registered Certificates (the “Definitive
Certificates”) to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee or, if a
Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, of the Book-Entry
Certificates by the Depository for registration and receipt by the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent
has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, of an adequate supply of certificates from
the Depositor, the Trustee or if the Paying Agent is appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent
shall issue the Definitive Certificates based on information received from the Depository. Neither
the Depositor, the Servicer, the Paying Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
such instructions.
(d) The Certificates (other than the Class A-R Certificate) shall be issuable in the minimum
original dollar denominations (and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess of such amount) and
aggregate original dollar denominations per Class (or in the case of the Class 1-AX and 2-AX
Certificates, in the minimum denominations based upon the Class 1-AX Notional Amount and the Class
2-AX Notional Amount, respectively) as set forth in the following table (except that, if necessary,
in order to aggregate the Original Certificate Principal Balance of a Class, one Certificate of
such Class will be issued in a different denomination). A single Class A-R Certificate will be
issued in definitive form in a $100 denomination.
(e) The Uncertificated REMIC Interests shall be issued in uncertificated form and transferred
to the Trustee to be held in trust pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement. The Bank of New
York Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee and Paying Agent, is hereby directed and authorized to enter
into the Trust Agreement. In entering into the Trust Agreement and performing its obligations
thereunder, each of the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to the same rights,
protections and indemnities afforded to them under this Agreement in their capacity as Trustee and
Paying Agent, respectively.

The Class 1-AX and Class 2-AX Certificates are interest-only certificates, have no principal
balance, are not entitled to payments of principal and will bear interest on their notional
amounts. The initial notional amounts of the Class 1-AX and Class 2-AX Certificates will be
$65,406,164.23 and $7,950,104.56, respectively. |
|
(2) |
|
The Class A-R Certificate represents the residual interest in each of the REMIC Pools. |
|
(3) |
|
The Class A-P Certificates consist of two components. The original principal amount of Class
A-P Component One is $1,532,265.53 and the original principal amount of Class A-P Component
Two is $38,962.78. |
|
(4) |
|
Each of these Classes of Certificates is an Exchangeable Initial Certificate which will not
be issued under this Agreement and instead will be issued pursuant to the Trust Agreement. |
|
(5) |
|
Each of these Certificates is an Exchangeable Certificate which will not be issued under this
Agreement and instead will be issued pursuant to the Trust Agreement. The Original
Certificate Principal Balance or notional amount, as applicable, of each such Class of
Certificates will be zero. |
The Certificates shall be signed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Depositor
by an officer of the Depositor. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at the time of signature officers of the Depositor shall bind the Depositor,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be an officer prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Certificate 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 manual authentication by an officer of
the Trustee (or if an Authenticating Agent has been appointed pursuant to Section 4.06, the
Authenticating Agent) and such authentication upon any Certificate shall be
52
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated
and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
Section 4.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent,
shall cause to be kept a certificate register (the “Certificate Register”) in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been
appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, shall provide for the registration of Certificates
and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of
the Trustee, or if a Paying Agent has been appointed hereunder pursuant to Section 4.05, the Paying
Agent maintained for such purpose, the Depositor shall execute and the Trustee or if an
Authenticating Agent is appointed under Section 4.06, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate
and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, a Certificate of a like Class
and aggregate Percentage Interest and dated the date of authentication by the Authenticating Agent.
(c) No transfer of a Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class B-5 Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement or otherwise in accordance with
the requirements under the Securities Act. If such a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an
exemption from said Act, (i) the Depositor may require (except with respect to the initial transfer
of a Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class B-5 Certificate to MorServ, Inc. and except if the transferee
executes a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto) a written opinion of
independent counsel acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Depositor and the Trustee that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the
applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to
said Act and laws, which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee,
the Depositor or the Servicer, and (ii) the Depositor shall require the transferee to execute a
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit H or Exhibit I.
(d) (i) No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate or a Class A-R Certificate shall be
made unless the prospective transferee provides the Depositor and the Trustee with (I) a
representation as set forth in Exhibit K for Class A-R Certificates or in Exhibit M for ERISA
Restricted Certificates to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject
to Title I of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan or arrangement subject to
any provisions under any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are
substantively similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (“Similar Law”)
(collectively, a “Plan”), and is not directly or indirectly acquiring the Certificate for, on
behalf of or with any assets of any such Plan, or (II) solely in the case of an ERISA Restricted
Certificate, (A) if the Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, a
representation as set forth in Exhibit M that such transferee is an insurance company that is
acquiring the ERISA-Restricted Certificate with assets contained in an “insurance company general
account,” as defined in Section V(E) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60, and
the acquisition and holding of the Certificate are covered and exempt under Sections I and III of
PTCE 95-60, or (B) solely in the case of a Definitive Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee to the effect that the acquisition and holding of
such Certificate will not constitute or result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or
the Code, or a violation of Similar Law, and will not subject the Depositor, the Servicer or the
Trustee to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee.
53
(ii) Except in the case of a Definitive Certificate, the representations set forth in
paragraph (i) of this Subsection 4.02(d), other than subparagraph (i)(II)(B), shall be deemed to
have been made to the Depositor and the Trustee by the transferee’s acceptance of an ERISA
Restricted Certificate or a Class A-R Certificate (or the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the
beneficial interest in any Class of ERISA Restricted Certificates or a Class A-R Certificate).
Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, any purported transfer of an ERISA
Restricted Certificate or a Class A-R Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to
the Depositor of a representation or an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor
and the Trustee as described above shall be void and of no effect. None of the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Trustee shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration or transfer
of any ERISA Restricted Certificate or Class A-R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this
Section 4.02(d) nor shall the Paying Agent be under any liability for making any payments due on
such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under
the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered in accordance with the
foregoing requirements. The Depositor, Servicer, Paying Agent and/or Trustee shall be entitled,
but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA Restricted Certificate or Class A-R
Certificate that was in fact a Plan and that held such Certificate in violation of this Section
4.02(d) all payments made on such ERISA Restricted Certificate or Class A-R Certificate at and
after the time it commenced such holding. Any such payments so recovered shall be paid and
delivered to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not a Plan.
(e) At the option of a Certificateholder, a Certificate may be exchanged for another
Certificate or Certificates of authorized denominations of a like Class, upon surrender of the
Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Trustee, or if a Paying Agent has been
appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, maintained for such purpose. Whenever the
Certificate is so surrendered for exchange, the Depositor shall execute and the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Certificate 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 Authenticating Agent) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Authenticating Agent duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(f) No service charge shall be made to the Holder for any transfer or exchange of a
Certificate, but the Servicer may require payment by the Certificateholders of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or
exchange of such Certificate.
(g) All Certificates surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be destroyed by the Trustee or
if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, in accordance with the
Trustee’s or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent’s, standard
procedures.
(h) [Reserved].
(i) A Disqualified Organization is prohibited from acquiring beneficial ownership of a Class
A-R Certificate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) unless and until
the Servicer and the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to it in form
and substance, to the effect that the absence of the conditions contained in this Section 4.02(i)
would not result in the imposition of federal tax upon any REMIC created hereunder or cause any
REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC, no transfer, sale or other disposition of
the Class A-R Certificate (including for purposes of this section any beneficial interest therein)
may be made without the express written consent of the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate
Registrar is appointed, the Trustee, which consent is to be granted by the Certificate Registrar
or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee
54
only upon compliance with the requirements of this Section and (ii) no transfer, sale or other
disposition of the Class A-R Certificate (or any beneficial interest therein) may be made to a
Person who is not a U.S. Person unless such Person furnishes the transferor, the Certificate
Registrar and the Trustee, with a duly completed and effective Form W-8ECI (or any successor
thereto) or an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such transfer is in accordance with the
requirements of the Code and that the transfer will not be disregarded for federal income tax
purposes. As a condition to granting its consent to a transfer of a Class A-R Certificate, the
Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee, shall require the
proposed transferee of such Certificate (including, in the case of the initial issuance of the
Class A-R Certificate, the initial Holder thereof) to execute a letter and affidavit substantially
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K and shall require the proposed transferor (other than in
the case of the transfer to the initial Holder) of such Certificate to execute a letter
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K-1. In the absence of a contrary instruction
from the transferor of such Certificate, declaration (11) in the affidavit in Exhibit K may be left
blank. If the transferor requests by written notice to the Certificate Registrar or, if no
Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee, prior to the date of the proposed transfer that
one of the two other forms of declaration (11) of such affidavit be used, then the Certificate
Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee, shall require that such form
of declaration (11) be included in such affidavit.
As a condition to the granting of the consent referred to in this Section 4.02(i), prior to
the transfer, sale, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Class A-R Certificate or any
interest therein, the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the
Trustee shall require that (1) the proposed transferee deliver to the Trustee or Certificate
Registrar, as applicable, its taxpayer identification number and state, under penalties of perjury
that such number is the social security or employer identification number, as the case may be, of
the transferee or provide an affidavit under penalties of perjury stating that as of the date of
such transfer such transferee is not and has no intention of becoming a Disqualified Organization;
(2) the proposed transferee deliver to the Trustee or Certificate Registrar, as applicable, an
affidavit stating (i) that such transferee is not acquiring such Class A-R Certificate as an agent,
broker, nominee, or middleman for a Disqualified Organization, (ii) if the Class A-R Certificate is
a “non-economic residual interest” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.860E-1(c)(2), (X) that no
purpose of the acquisition of the Class A-R Certificate is to avoid or impede the assessment or
collection of tax, (Y) that such transferee has historically paid its debts as they came due and
will continue to pay its debts as they come due, and (Z) that such transferee represents that it
understands that, as the holder of the non-economic residual interest, the transferee may incur tax
liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the interest and that the transferee intends
to pay taxes associated with holding the residual interest, and (iii) unless the Certificate
Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee consents to the transfer of the
Class A-R Certificate to a Person who is not a U.S. Person and who has furnished either a duly
completed and effective Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto) or an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the transfer will not be disregarded for federal income tax purposes, that it is a U.S.
Person; (3) if so requested by the transferor in written notice provided to the Certificate
Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee, prior to the date of the
proposed transfer, the proposed transferee deliver to the Trustee or Certificate Registrar, as
applicable, an affidavit that includes a declaration made in the form of declaration (11) in the
affidavit set forth in Exhibit K requested by the transferor; and (4) the transferor deliver to the
Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee a written
certification that as of the date of such transfer it has no knowledge and no reason to know that
the affirmations described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) were false. The Certificate Registrar or,
if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee shall not grant the consent referred to in
this Section 4.02(i) if it has actual knowledge that any statement made in the affidavit issued
pursuant to the preceding sentence is not true. Notwithstanding any purported transfer, sale or
other disposition of the Class A-R Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or in violation of
the provisions of this Section 4.02(i), such transfer, sale or other disposition shall be deemed to
be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization shall not be deemed to
be a Class A-R Certificateholder
55
for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on such
Class A-R Certificate. If any purported transfer shall be in violation of the provisions of this
Section 4.02(i) then the prior Holder of the Class A-R Certificate shall, upon discovery that the
transfer of such Class A-R Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 4.02(i), be
restored to all rights and obligations as a Holder thereof retroactive to the date of the purported
transfer of such Class A-R Certificate. The Trustee, the Servicer and the Certificate Registrar
shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of a Class A-R
Certificate that is not permitted by this Section 4.02(i) or for making payments due on such Class
A-R Certificate to the purported Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such
purported Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was not registered
under the written certification of the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is
appointed, the Trustee as described in this Section 4.02(i). The prior Holder shall be entitled to
recover from any purported Holder of a Class A-R Certificate that was in fact not a permitted
purported transferee under this Section 4.02(i) at the time it became a purported Holder all
payments made to such purported Holder on such Class A-R Certificate; provided that the Servicer
shall not be responsible for such recovery. Each Class A-R Certificateholder, by the acceptance of
the Class A-R Certificate, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of
this Section 4.02(i) and to any amendment to this Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the
Trustee or the Servicer to ensure that the Class A-R Certificate is not transferred to a
Disqualified Organization and that any transfer of such Class A-R Certificate will not cause the
imposition of a tax upon any REMIC created hereunder or cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail
to qualify as a REMIC. The restrictions on transfer of the Class A-R Certificate will cease to
apply and be void upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is
appointed, the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such restrictions on transfer
are no longer necessary to avoid the risk of material federal taxation to any REMIC created
hereunder or prevent any REMIC created hereunder from qualifying as a REMIC.
(j) The Servicer shall make available upon written request to each Holder and each proposed
transferee of a Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class B-5 Certificate such information as may be required
to permit the proposed transfer to be effected pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
(k) No transfer of a Class M, Class B-1 or Class B-2 Certificate shall be made unless upon
such transfer the Depositor shall cause any such Certificate to be reissued as a Book-Entry
Certificate.
Section 4.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated
Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section
4.05, the Paying Agent, or the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05,
the Paying Agent, receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed
under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save
it harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed
under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying
Agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Class. Upon the issuance of any
new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under
Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, may require of the Certificateholder 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 connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate of any Class issued
pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership of the
Percentage Interest in the distributions to which the Certificateholders of such Class are
entitled, as if originally issued, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate shall be found at any time, and such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate
shall be of no force or effect under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law.
56
Section 4.04 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a Certificate of any
Class for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered on the Record Date as the owner of
such Certificate and the Percentage Interest in the distributions to which the Certificateholders
of such Class are entitled on the relevant date as the Holder of such Certificate and the
Percentage Interest represented by such Certificate for the purpose of receiving remittances
pursuant to Section 6.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Paying Agent nor the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 4.05 Appointment of Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar; Certificate
Account. The Trustee shall appoint a Paying Agent and a Certificate Registrar (the
“Certificate Registrar”) hereunder, provided such Paying Agent and such Certificate Registrar shall
not be the Depositor, the Seller, or an Affiliate of the Depositor or the Seller. No later than
two Business Days prior to each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be
deposited with the Paying Agent from funds on deposit in the Collection Account a sum up to the
Available Distribution Amount, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of Certificateholders
in a segregated account (the “Certificate Account”) which shall be an Eligible Account in the name
of “The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee, in trust for and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders of Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Chase Home Finance LLC as
subservicer for JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Servicer, Chase Mortgage Finance Corporation, Series
2007-S6 — Certificate Account”. The Paying Agent shall establish such Certificate Account with a
commercial bank, a savings bank or a savings and loan association. The Paying Agent may invest
moneys in the Certificate Account in Eligible Investments, which shall mature not later than a date
sufficient to make payment on the Distribution Date next following the date of such investment and
shall not be sold or disposed of prior to maturity. One calendar day of income and gain realized
from any such investment each month shall be for the benefit of the Paying Agent as additional
compensation and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any
losses incurred in respect of any such investments made for the benefit of the Paying Agent (to the
extent not offset by income from other such investments) shall be deposited in the Certificate
Account by the Paying Agent out of its own funds immediately as realized. All income and gain
realized from any such investment in excess of one calendar day’s earnings each month shall be for
the benefit of the Servicer as additional compensation and will be remitted to the Servicer by the
Paying Agent. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments made for the
benefit of the Servicer (to the extent not offset by income from other such investments) shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account by the Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized.
The Servicer shall cause the Paying Agent to perform each of the obligations of the Paying Agent
set forth herein and shall be liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for failure of the
Paying Agent to perform such obligations. So long as the Paying Agent is a party other than the
Trustee, the Trustee shall have no liability in connection with the performance or failure of
performance of the Paying Agent. The Trustee designates The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.
as the initial Paying Agent and initial Certificate Registrar. Only the Trustee may remove the
Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar and may do so at will, provided that the Trustee gives 20
days’ prior written notice of such removal to the Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar and the
Rating Agencies.
The Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment to Certificateholders in trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such
Certificateholders.
Section 4.06 Authenticating Agents.
(a) The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents (each, an “Authenticating
Agent”) which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating the
Certificates.
57
Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the
Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of
authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating
Agent must be an entity organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America
or of any state, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under
such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authorities. So long as the Authenticating Agent is a party other than the Trustee, the Trustee
shall have no liability in connection with the performance or failure of performance of the
Authenticating Agent. The Trustee hereby appoints the Paying Agent as the initial Authenticating
Agent.
(b) Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it
may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency
business of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent.
(c) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’ advance
written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Depositor. The Trustee may at any time
terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such
Authenticating Agent and the Depositor. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a
termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance within the provisions of this Section 4.06, the Trustee may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Depositor and shall mail
notice of such appointment to all Holders of Certificates. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon
acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as
Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under
the provisions of this Section 4.06. No Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or
liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Each of the
Authenticating Agent, Certificate Registrar and Paying Agent shall be afforded the same rights,
protections and indemnities as the Trustee as set forth under Article VIII hereunder.
[END OF ARTICLE IV]
ARTICLE V
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 5.01 Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall service and
administer the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through
Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 5.02, to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or
desirable in connection with such servicing and administration, all in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own
name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer shall, pursuant to a power of attorney granted hereby by the
Trustee for such purposes, when the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be, believes it
appropriate in its best judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and
the Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial
or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and with respect to the related Mortgaged Properties. The Servicer will indemnify the
Trustee for any misuse of such power of attorney provided hereunder.
58
The Servicer may agree to any modification, waiver or amendment that would affect or impair
the payments on, or the security for, a Mortgage Loan that is in default or with respect to which
default is reasonably foreseeable, if, in its reasonable judgement, such modification, waiver or
amendment is in the best interest of Certificateholders.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer shall not make or permit any
modification of a Mortgage Loan that would cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC for
federal income tax purposes or that would result in the imposition of any material tax under
Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code.
The Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee for execution and redelivery to the Servicer or, at
the request of the Servicer, a Sub-Servicer, such documents necessary or appropriate to enable the
Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans and the Trustee shall not be responsible for
the Servicer’s application thereof. The Servicer agrees to remain eligible as either a FNMA or
FHLMC seller/servicer, or both, for so long as it is Servicer.
All Servicing Advances made by the Servicer in effecting the timely payment of taxes,
insurance and assessments on the properties subject to the Mortgage Loans shall not, for the
purpose of calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing
under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit,
and such Servicing Advances shall be recoverable by the Servicer to the extent permitted by
Sections 5.09 and 5.23.
Section 5.02 Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Servicer and Sub-Servicers; Enforcement of
Sub-Servicer’s Obligations.
(a) The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with Sub-Servicers for the servicing
and administration of all or part of the Mortgage Loans. References in this Agreement to actions
taken or to be taken by the Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans serviced by it include
actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Servicer. Each Sub-Servicing
Agreement will be upon such terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as
the Servicer and the Sub-Servicer have agreed. The Servicer hereby agrees to notify the Trustee in
writing promptly upon the appointment of any Sub-Servicer. For purposes of this Agreement, the
receipt by the Sub-Servicer of any amount with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than amounts
representing servicing compensation or reimbursement for an advance) shall be treated as the
receipt by the Servicer of such amount. The Sub-Servicer shall deposit all such funds in an
Eligible Account.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the benefit of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the
related Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements as appropriate, and the pursuit of
other 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 but shall
be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only 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.
(c) The Servicer shall not permit a Sub-Servicer to perform any servicing responsibilities
hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans unless that Sub-Servicer first agrees in writing with
the Servicer to deliver an Assessment of Compliance and an Accountant’s Attestation in such manner
and at such times that permits the Servicer to comply with Section 5.25 of this Agreement.
59
Section 5.03 Successor Sub-Servicers. The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that may exist in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
Sub-Servicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement.
Section 5.04 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 liable to the Trustee and Certificateholders for the servicing and
administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement 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 and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or
modify such indemnification.
Section 5.05 No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicer and Trustee or
Certificateholders. Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity as
such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer
alone, and the Trustee and Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no
claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer.
Section 5.06 Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreement. If the Servicer shall for any
reason no longer be the Servicer hereunder (including by reason of any Event of Default), the
Servicer shall thereupon terminate each Sub-Servicing Agreement that may have been entered into,
and the Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer and the Trustee shall not be deemed to have
assumed any of the Servicer’s interest therein or to have replaced the Servicer as a party to any
such Sub-Servicing Agreement.
Section 5.07 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. Continuously from the date hereof
until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Servicer will proceed
diligently to collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become
due and payable; provided, however, that the Servicer may elect, to the extent consistent with
Accepted Servicing Practices, to waive any late payment charge and shall, to the extent such
procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, follow such collection procedures as it follows
with respect to conventional mortgage loans held in its own portfolio. Any such arrangements shall
not diminish or otherwise affect the Servicer’s obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section
6.03.
Section 5.08 Establishment of Collection Account; Deposit in Collection Account. With
respect to all of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general
assets and shall establish and maintain one or more collection accounts for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (collectively, the “Collection Account”) which are Eligible Accounts, in the
form of a trust account, in the name of “The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee, in
trust for and for the benefit of the Certificateholders of Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Chase Home Finance LLC as subservicer for JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Servicer,
Chase Mortgage Finance Corporation, Series 2007-S6 — Collection Account.” Such Collection Account
shall be established with a commercial bank, a savings bank or a savings and loan association. The
Servicer may invest, or cause the institution maintaining the Collection Account to invest, moneys
in the Collection Account in Eligible Investments, which shall mature not later than two Business
Days preceding the Distribution Date next following the date of such investment and shall not be
sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All income and gain
60
realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as additional
compensation and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any
losses incurred in respect of any such investments (to the extent not offset by income from other
such investments) shall be deposited in the Collection Account by the Servicer out of its own funds
immediately as realized; provided, however, that if the Trustee becomes the Servicer, the Trustee
shall not be required to deposit the amount of any loss incurred prior to it becoming the Servicer.
The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account on a daily basis
(and not later than the second Business Day following receipt), and retain therein:
(i) All payments which were received after the Cut-off Date on account of principal of
the Mortgage Loans (other than the principal portion of Monthly Payments due on or before
the Cut-off Date), and all Principal Prepayments collected on or after the Cut-off Date;
(ii) All payments which were received after the Cut-off Date on account of interest on
the Mortgage Loans (net of the Servicing Fee)(other than the interest portion of Monthly
Payments due on or before the Cut-off Date);
(iii) Any Subsequent Recovery or Net Liquidation Proceeds;
(iv) All Insurance Proceeds received by the Servicer under any title, hazard or other
insurance policy, including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Sections 5.16 and
5.20, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account or applied to the restoration or
repair of the Mortgaged Property (or underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op
Loan) or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing
procedures or otherwise applied or held as required by applicable law;
(v) All awards or settlements in respect of condemnation proceedings affecting any
Mortgaged Property (or underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan), which
are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing
procedures;
(vi) All Repurchase Proceeds;
(vii) All Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.03;
(viii) All amounts representing revenues under the insurance provided pursuant to
Section 5.19 to the extent of any losses borne by any Certificateholder;
(ix) All revenues from any Mortgaged Property (or underlying Mortgaged Property in the
case of a Co-op Loan) acquired by the Servicer by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure
net of any Servicing Advances with respect to such Mortgaged Property (or underlying
Mortgaged Property in the case of a Co-op Loan); and
(x) Any other amounts required to be deposited therein pursuant to this Agreement.
The Servicer shall maintain accounting records on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis with
respect to the Collection Account. The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, any Paying
Agent, the Depositor and each Rating Agency of any change in the location of the Collection
Account, prior to the use thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Monthly
Payment or any portion thereof shall be permitted to remain in the Collection Account for more than
12 months. Any Monthly Payment or any portion thereof that has remained in the Collection Account
for 12 months shall be deemed a
61
Principal Prepayment and distributed to Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement on the Distribution Date immediately following the end of such 12 month period.
Section 5.09 Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection Account. The Servicer may,
from time to time, withdraw funds from the Collection Account for the following purposes:
(a) to reimburse itself for Advances made pursuant to Section 6.03 (including amounts to
reimburse the related Sub-Servicer for advances made pursuant to the applicable Sub-Servicing
Agreement), the Servicer’s and the related Sub-Servicer’s right to receive reimbursement pursuant
to this subclause (a) being limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage Loans which
represent Late Collections (net of the Servicing Fees) with respect to those particular Mortgage
Loans;
(b) to pay itself the Servicing Fee;
(c) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, or to pay the related
Sub-Servicer any unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the Servicer’s right to receive reimbursement or
make payments to the Sub-Servicer pursuant to this subclause (c) with respect to any Mortgage Loan
being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and
condemnation awards;
(d) to reimburse itself (or the related Sub-Servicer) or the Depositor for expenses incurred
by and recoverable by or reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.16;
(e) to reimburse itself (or the related Sub-Servicer) for any Nonrecoverable Advances;
(f) to pay to itself (or the related Sub-Servicer) income earned on the investment of funds
deposited in the Collection Account;
(g) to make deposits into the Certificate Account in the amounts and in the manner provided
for herein;
(h) to make payments to itself or others pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and to
clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the termination of this Agreement;
(i) to withdraw amounts deposited in error; and
(j) to reimburse itself (or the related Sub-Servicer) any amounts as set forth in Section
6.07.
Section 5.10 Establishment of Escrow Account; Deposits in Escrow Account. With
respect to those Mortgage Loans on which the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer collects Escrow Payments,
if any, the Servicer shall, and shall cause any Sub-Servicer to, segregate and hold all funds
collected and received pursuant to each such Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments
separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain
one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of trust accounts. Such Escrow Accounts shall be
established with a commercial bank, a mutual savings bank or a savings and loan association the
deposits of which are insured by the FDIC in a manner which shall provide maximum available
insurance thereunder, and which may be drawn on by the Servicer. The Servicer shall, if requested
by the Trustee, give notice to the Trustee of the location of any Escrow Account. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be deemed to require the Servicer to collect Escrow Payments in the absence of a
provision in the related Mortgage requiring such collection.
62
The Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in any Escrow Account or Accounts on a
daily basis, and retain therein, (i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of any Mortgage Loans
serviced by the Servicer, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required
under the terms of this Agreement and (ii) all amounts representing proceeds of any hazard
insurance policy which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property (or
underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan). The Servicer shall make withdrawals
therefrom only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other
purposes as are set forth in Section 5.11. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest
paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on
escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the related Mortgagor and, to the extent required by
law, the Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the related Mortgagor notwithstanding
that the Escrow Account is non-interest-bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for
such purposes.
Section 5.11 Permitted Withdrawals from Escrow Account. Withdrawals from any Escrow
Account or Accounts may be made by a Servicer only (i) to effect timely payments of ground rents,
taxes, assessments, water rates, Standard Hazard Policy premiums, or other items constituting
Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage, (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance
made by the Servicer, with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the
related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder,
(iii) to refund to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the
terms of the related Mortgage Loan or under applicable law, (iv) for application to restoration or
repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage, (v) to pay to the Servicer, or to the
Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow
Account, (vi) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement or
(vii) to withdraw amounts deposited in error.
Section 5.12 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges. With respect to each
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, accurate records reflecting
any delinquencies or nonpayments with regard to taxes, assessments and Standard Hazard Policy
premiums. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for ensuring the payment of all such bills and
shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of each Mortgagor’s faithful performance in
the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds
to effect such payments.
Section 5.13 Transfer of Accounts. The Servicer may transfer the Collection Account
or Escrow Account to an Eligible Account maintained with a different depository institution from
time to time and shall notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of any such transfer.
Section 5.14 [Reserved].
Section 5.15 Maintenance of the Primary Insurance Policies. The Servicer shall not
take, or permit any related Sub-Servicer to take, any action which would result in non-coverage
under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the
Servicer or Sub-Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. Except as otherwise required by
applicable law, to the extent coverage is available and until the Loan-to-Value Ratio of the
related Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%, the Servicer shall keep or cause to be kept in full force
and effect each such Primary Insurance Policy in an amount equal to the amount by which the unpaid
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan exceeds 75% of the value (as described in the
definition of Loan-to-Value Ratio) of the related Mortgaged Property (or underlying Mortgaged
Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan). The Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such
Primary Insurance Policy or consent to any related Sub-Servicer canceling or refusing to renew any
such Primary Insurance Policy applicable to a Mortgage Loan subserviced by it, that is in effect at
the date of the initial issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force hereunder
unless the replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is
63
maintained with an insurer whose claims-paying ability is rated at least as high as the
original insurer or is acceptable to each Rating Agency as confirmed in writing by each such Rating
Agency, unless otherwise required by law.
Section 5.16 Maintenance of Standard Hazard Policies.
(a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan (other than a Co-op Loan)
a Standard Hazard Policy with extended coverage as is prudent in the area where the Mortgaged
Property is located in an amount which is equal to the greater of (i) the lesser of (A) 100% of the
maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (B) the principal
balance owing on such Mortgage Loan, or (ii) such amount required to prevent the Mortgagor or
mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified at the
time of origination in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having
special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) the Servicer will cause to
be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the
Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount
representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loan, (ii) the full insurable value or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is
available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Servicer shall also
maintain on property acquired upon foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage
Loan, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is not less than the
lesser of (i) the outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan or (ii) the maximum insurable
value of the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance, and, to the
extent available, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts 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 property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage
Loan, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer’s normal servicing procedures)
shall be deposited, subject to applicable law, in the Collection Account. It is understood and
agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer of any
Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to
such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance. All such Standard Hazard Policies and other policies shall be endorsed with
standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer or its designee. Any such Standard
Hazard Policies or other policies may be in the form of blanket policies; provided, however, that
in the event of any claim arising in connection with a hazard loss the Servicer shall be obligated,
in the case of blanket insurance policies, to deposit in the Collection Account any amount not
payable under such blanket policy because of a deductible clause in such policy and not otherwise
payable under an individual policy. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom
of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent; provided, however, that the Servicer
shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are
acceptable insurers in the discretion of the Servicer.
(b) Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any of the foregoing insurance shall not,
for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount
owing under the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such
costs (other than the costs of maintaining a blanket hazard insurance policy not attributable to a
specific Mortgaged Property) shall be recoverable by the Servicer from the Mortgagor or out of
Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries or Liquidation Proceeds or to the extent permitted by
Section 5.09.
Section 5.17 [Reserved].
Section 5.18 [Reserved].
64
Section 5.19 Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance. The Servicer shall
maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy,
with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting
on behalf of the Servicer in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to handle funds, money,
documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. Any such fidelity bond and errors and
omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft,
embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons and shall be
maintained at a level acceptable to FNMA. No provision of this Section 5.19 requiring such
fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its
duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. Upon request of the Trustee, the Servicer
shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee a certification evidencing coverage under such fidelity
bond and insurance policy. Promptly upon receipt of any notice from the surety or the insurer that
such fidelity bond or insurance policy has been terminated or modified in a materially adverse
manner, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee and each Rating Agency of any such termination or
modification.
Section 5.20 Collections under Insurance Policies; Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses;
Assumption Agreements.
(a) In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the
Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to
the insurer under any Standard Hazard Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action
as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any insurance policies. Pursuant to Section 5.08,
the Servicer shall deposit Insurance Proceeds in the Collection Account.
(b) When any Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op
Loan) is conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in
any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted by such Mortgage Note or Mortgage,
applicable law and governmental regulations. Subject to the foregoing, the Servicer is authorized
to take or enter into an assumption or substitution agreement from or with the Person to whom such
property has been or is about to be conveyed. In connection with such assumption or substitution,
the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures as
shall be normal and usual and as it applies to mortgage loans owned solely by it.
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 conveyance by the Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a
dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) or any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of
law which the Servicer in good faith determines it may be restricted by law from preventing, for
any reason whatsoever.
(c) Subject to the Servicer’s duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the effect set forth
in Section 5.20(b), in any case in which a Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling
unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) is to be conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is
to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note
or Mortgage, the Servicer shall so notify the Trustee by forwarding to the Trustee the original
copy of such assumption or substitution agreement, which copy shall be added by the Trustee 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. In connection
with any such assumption, modification agreement or substitution agreement, the interest rate of
the related Mortgage Note shall not be changed, the principal amount of the Mortgage Note shall not
be increased or decreased and the maturity of the Mortgage Note shall not be extended, nor shall it
be shortened by more than one year. Any fee collected
65
by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement with
respect to such Mortgage Loan shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing
compensation.
Section 5.21 Income and Realization from Defaulted Mortgage Loans. The Servicer, on
behalf of the Trustee, shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of
Mortgaged Properties (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) 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 5.07, shall
manage, conserve, protect and operate such Mortgaged Properties (or stock allocated to a dwelling
unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) for the purposes of their prompt disposition and sale, and shall
dispose of such Mortgaged Properties (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op
Loan) on such terms and conditions as it deems in the best interests of the Certificateholders. The
Servicer shall sell such property prior to the close of the third calendar year beginning after the
year in which such foreclosure or conversion occurs or such longer period as would not prevent such
Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) from
constituting “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code. The
Servicer will ensure that no Mortgaged Property shall be held, rented or otherwise used in such a
manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as
“foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any
REMIC Pool to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income earned on such Mortgaged
Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Section 860F or 860G(c) of the Code. In
connection with such activities, the Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it
shall deem necessary or advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing
activities, including its management of foreclosed properties for a temporary period as
contemplated herein. The foregoing is subject to the provisions of Section 5.28 of this Agreement
and to the proviso that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection
with any management, foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall
determine that such management, restoration or foreclosure will increase any Subsequent Recoveries
or Liquidation Proceeds of the Mortgage Loan to Certificateholders after reimbursement to itself
for such expenses (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.09). The Servicer shall be permitted to earn income with
respect to any Mortgaged Properties (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op
Loan), provided such income does not constitute “net income from foreclosure property” within the
meaning of Section 860G(c) of the Code. The income earned from the management of such Mortgaged
Properties (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan), net of
reimbursement to the Servicer for expenses (including any taxes) incurred in connection with such
management, shall be applied to the payment of principal of and interest on the related defaulted
Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing and principal amortizing as though such Mortgage Loans were
still current) and all such income shall be deemed, for all purposes in this Agreement, to be
payments on account of principal and interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited
into the Collection Account. To the extent the income received is in excess of the amount
attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest at the Net Mortgage Rate on the related
Mortgage Loan, such excess shall be deposited in the Collection Account.
The Servicer shall take into account the existence of any hazardous substances, hazardous
wastes or solid wastes, as such terms are defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response
Compensation and Liability Act, as amended, the Resources Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as
amended, or other federal, state or local environmental legislation, on a Mortgaged Property (or
underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) in determining whether to foreclose
upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of such property. To the extent that the
Servicer has actual knowledge of any such substance or waste, it shall consult with the Trustee
regarding the appropriate course of action. The Servicer shall not institute foreclosure actions
with respect to a property containing substance or waste as described above if it reasonably
believes that such action would not be consistent with its servicing
66
standards, and in no event shall the Servicer manage, operate or take any other action with
respect thereto which the Servicer in good faith believes will result in “clean-up” or other
liability under applicable law. The net income from the rental or sale of a REO Property shall be
deposited in the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof by the
Servicer.
The Servicer may enter into a special servicing agreement with an unaffiliated holder of 100%
Percentage Interest of the Class of Class B Certificates then outstanding having the highest
numerical class designation or a holder of a class of securities representing interests in such
Class B Certificate and/or other subordinate mortgage pass-through certificates, such agreement to
be (i) substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto or (ii) subject to each Rating Agency’s
acknowledgment that the ratings of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to the entering
into of such agreement would not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn and the Certificates would
not be placed on credit review status (except for possible upgrading) as a result of such
agreement. Any such agreement may contain provisions whereby such holder may instruct the Servicer
to commence or delay foreclosure proceedings with respect to delinquent Mortgage Loans and will
contain provisions for the deposit of cash by the holder that would be available for distribution
to Certificateholders if Liquidation Proceeds are less than they otherwise may have been had the
Servicer acted in accordance with its normal procedures.
Section 5.22 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or upon the receipt by
the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be made in a manner customary for such
purposes, the Servicer shall immediately notify the Custodian with a copy to the Trustee by a
certification (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 5.08 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing
Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification
and request, within five Business Days the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall release the
related Mortgage File to the Servicer and the Trustee will execute and deliver to the Servicer the
request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such other
instruments releasing the lien of the Mortgage as have been provided by the Servicer to the
Trustee, together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation thereon, and the
Trustee shall have no further responsibility with respect to said Mortgage File. Upon any such
payment in full, or the receipt of such notification, the Servicer is authorized to procure from
the Trustee under the deed of trust which secured the Mortgage Note, if any, a deed of full
reconveyance covering the property encumbered by such deed of trust, which assignment of deed of
trust, except as otherwise provided by any applicable law, shall be recorded by the Servicer in the
appropriate land records in the jurisdiction in which the assignment of deed of trust is recorded,
or, as the case may be, to procure from the Trustee an instrument of satisfaction or, if the
Mortgagor so requests, an assignment without recourse, which deed of reconveyance, instrument of
satisfaction or assignment shall be delivered by the Servicer to the Person or Persons entitled
thereto. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of
reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account or to the Trustee.
(b) From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan,
the Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting that
possession of the Mortgage File be released to the Servicer and certifying as to the reason for
such release and that such release will not invalidate any insurance coverage provided in respect
of the Mortgage Loan under any of the insurance policies required by this Agreement. With such
certificate, the Servicer shall require that the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee release the
Mortgage File, and, within five Business Days, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File or any
document therein to the Servicer. The Servicer shall cause each Mortgage File so released to be
returned to the Custodian on behalf of the
67
Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan
has been liquidated and the Net Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been
deposited in the Collection Account or (ii) the Mortgage File 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 (or stock
allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) either judicially or non-judicially, and
the Servicer has delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing
Officer in the form of Exhibit L hereto certifying as to the name and address of the Person to
which such Mortgage File was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.
(c) Upon written request of the Servicer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the
Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents prepared by and
delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect
of a Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) 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. Together with such documents
or pleadings, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer
requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and certifying as to the
reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the
Trustee will not invalidate any insurance coverage under the insurance policies required under this
Agreement or 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. The Trustee may rely on such
certificate without further inquiry.
(d) The Servicer may provide an electronic transmission for release of documents under this
Section 5.22 in a form agreed to in advance of initial transmission by both the Servicer and the
Custodian, which form shall contain information readable without intervention by Custodian’s data
processing operations computer hardware and software staff, and arranged in a record layout to be
specified by Custodian (a “Paperless Release Request”). The Servicer agrees to maintain and
control access to electronic signature information and assumes liability for any unauthorized use
thereof, except for any unauthorized use thereof by the Custodian and, provided that, the Servicer
shall have no liability arising from the form of transmission if the Servicer complies with the
Custodian’s standards set forth in the next paragraph of this Section 5.22(d). The Servicer also
agrees to maintain accurate records of electronic transactions related to the custodial files. The
Servicer hereby authorizes the Custodian to automatically append the electronic signature of an
authorized representative to the applicable request for release of documents and agrees and
acknowledges that by appending such authorized representative’s electronic signature, the Custodian
shall be entitled to rely thereon. For purposes of this Agreement the term “electronic signature”
means an electronic identifier intended by the person using it to have the same force and effect as
the use of a manual signature.
The Servicer agrees in advance to comply with all Custodian data encryption, security and
record layout standards in connection with any Paperless Release Request as may be amended from
time to time upon notice from Custodian to the Servicer. The Custodian reserves the right to
restrict or suspend the Servicer’s access to the Custodian’s computer systems for maintenance or
repairs or for any other reason in the Custodian’s sole discretion, provided however that the
Custodian shall promptly provide the Servicer with notice of such restriction or suspension.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer is authorized to transmit and the Custodian is
authorized to accept signed facsimile copies of the requests for document release described in this
Section 5.22.
Section 5.23 Servicing and Other Compensation. The Servicer, as compensation for its
activities hereunder, shall be entitled to receive, on or prior to each Distribution Date, the
amounts
68
provided for as the Servicing Fee and as reimbursement for Nonrecoverable Advances, Servicing
Advances and reimbursement for Advances, all as specified by Section 5.09. The amount of
compensation or reimbursement provided for shall be accounted for on a Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage
Loan basis.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, prepayment fees and late
payment charges shall be retained by the Servicer, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The
Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing
activities hereunder (including the fees, expenses and indemnities of the Trustee and any
Sub-Servicer) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided
in Sections 5.09 and 5.21.

Section 5.28 REMIC-Related Covenants. For as long as the Trust Fund shall exist, the
Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Trustee shall act in accordance herewith to assure continuing
treatment of each REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC. In particular:
(a) The Servicer shall not create, or permit the creation of, any “interests” in any REMIC
created hereunder within the meaning of Section 860G(a) of the Code other than the “regular
interests” in each such REMIC designated as such in Section 2.04 and the “residual interest” in
each such REMIC designated as such in Section 2.04;
(b) As of all times as may be required by the Code, the Servicer will ensure that
substantially all of the assets of each REMIC created hereunder 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. The Paying Agent will maintain records that are sufficient to
indicate the compliance of each REMIC created hereunder with applicable requirements of the Code
(and applicable Proposed, Temporary or final Treasury Regulations) relating to the assets held by
such REMIC. Further, the Servicer shall not permit and the Trustee shall not accept the transfer
or substitution of any Mortgage Loan other than pursuant to Section 3.03, 5.01 or 5.21 of this
Agreement, and the Servicer shall, in any case, not permit substitution unless the Servicer and the
Trustee have received an Opinion of Counsel, which will not be an expense of any REMIC created
hereunder, that such transfer or substitution would not adversely affect the REMIC status of any
REMIC created hereunder or would not otherwise be prohibited by this Agreement;
73
(c) The Servicer shall ensure that no REMIC created hereunder receives a fee or other
compensation for services and that no REMIC created hereunder receives any income from assets other
than “qualified mortgages” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted
investments” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code, and shall take whatever action
it deems necessary to avoid any material tax imposed by the Code on any REMIC created hereunder;
(d) None of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Paying Agent or the Trustee shall sell or permit
the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any Eligible Investment unless such sale
is as a result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has
received an Opinion of Counsel, which will not be an expense of any REMIC created hereunder or the
Trustee, to the effect that such sale (i) is pursuant to a “qualified liquidation” as defined in
Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code and as described in Section 11.01 hereof, or (ii) would not be
treated as a “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code that
results in the realization of a material amount of gain or loss for federal income tax purposes;
(e) The Trustee shall not accept any contribution to any REMIC created hereunder after the
Startup Day without an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be an expense of the Trustee) that such
contribution is included within the exceptions provided in Section 860G(d)(2) of the Code and,
therefore, will not be subject to the tax imposed by Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code; and
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Servicer and the Trustee,
at the direction of the Servicer, shall take any other action or refuse to take any action
otherwise required (including adjusting the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan) where the
Servicer deems such action or inaction reasonably necessary to ensure the REMIC status of each
REMIC created hereunder under the Code and applicable regulations or to avoid the imposition of any
material tax liability on any REMIC created hereunder that will affect amounts distributable to the
Certificateholders.
(g) In the event that any applicable federal, state or local tax, including interest,
penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on any REMIC created
hereunder, such tax shall be treated in the same manner as a Realized Loss and shall be charged
against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Certificates, except as provided in
the last sentence of this Section 5.28 (g). The Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed
under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent shall withdraw from the Collection Account sufficient funds to
pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is estimated to be legally owed
by (but such authorization shall not prevent the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed
under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent from contesting, at the expense of the Trust Fund (other than
as a consequence of a breach of its obligations under this Agreement), any such tax in appropriate
proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such
proceedings). The Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying
Agent is hereby authorized to and shall segregate, into a separate non-interest bearing account,
the net income from any “prohibited transaction” under Code Section 860F(a), the amount of any
taxable contribution to any REMIC created hereunder after the Startup Day that is subject to tax
under Code Section 860G(d), and 35% of any estimated “net income from foreclosure property” under
Section 860G(c) and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such tax. To the
extent that any such tax is paid to the Internal Revenue Service or applicable state or local tax
authorities, the Trustee or a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent
shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Class
A-R Certificate and shall distribute such retained amounts to the Holders of the other Classes of
Certificates, to the extent they remain outstanding, until they are fully reimbursed for any amount
of such taxes previously charged to the then Holder of the Class A-R Certificate. Neither the
Trustee nor the Servicer shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on any REMIC created hereunder
except to the extent such taxes arise as a consequence of a breach of their respective obligations
under this Agreement. The
74
Trustee shall not be liable hereunder for any taxes imposed on any REMIC hereunder as the
result of any direction taken hereunder from the Servicer or any action of the Servicer or Paying
Agent hereunder.

Certificateholders the amounts described in (I)(b)(ii)(A) above, such excess shall be
distributed in reduction of the Class 2-A Deficiency Amount in application first to amounts
payable pursuant to Section (I)(b)(i) and second to amounts payable pursuant to Section

(vii) In addition to the foregoing distributions, the Class 1-A Certificates and Class
2-A Certificates will receive additional principal distributions on any Distribution Date
prior to the Credit Support Depletion Date under the circumstances specified in (A) and (B)
below:
(A) On any Distribution Date on or after the date on which the aggregate
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 1-A Certificates or the
aggregate
77
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 2-A Certificates has
been reduced to zero, all principal (other than the applicable PO Percentage of any
principal received on or in respect of each Discount Mortgage Loan and limited to
amounts in excess of that needed to reduce the aggregate Outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class 1-A Certificates or the Outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class 2-A Certificates, as applicable, to zero) on the
Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Group relating to such Class A Certificates that are
no longer outstanding will be distributed as principal to the remaining Class A
Certificates (other than the Class A-P Certificates) in accordance with Section
6.01(I)(b)(ii)(A) or 6.01(I)(b)(ii)(B), as applicable, in reduction of the
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balances thereof, provided that on such
Distribution Date either (a) the Aggregate Subordinated Percentage for such
Distribution Date is less than 200% of the initial Aggregate Subordinate Percentage,
or (b) the average outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in either
Mortgage Group delinquent 60 days or more over the prior six months, as a percentage
of the corresponding Group One or Group Two Subordinated Amount, is greater than or
equal to 50%. For purposes of the foregoing, the “Aggregate Subordinated
Percentage” for any Distribution Date is equal to the aggregate Outstanding
Certificate Principal Balance of the Subordinated Certificates immediately prior to
such Distribution Date divided by the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of all
of the Mortgage Loans immediately prior to such Distribution Date.
(B) If on any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class 1-A Certificates or the Class 2-A Certificates would
be greater than the Group One Non-PO Allocated Amount or the Group Two Non-PO
Allocated Amount, as the case may be (the “Undercollateralized Group”), after giving
effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, the portion of the
Available Distribution Amount in respect of principal on the Mortgage Loans in the
other Mortgage Group (the “Overcollateralized Group”) otherwise allocable to the
Subordinated Certificates will be distributed to the Classes of Class A Certificates
(other than the Class A-P Certificates) relating to the Undercollateralized Group
(in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 6.01(I)(b)(ii)), in
reduction of the principal balances thereof, until the aggregate principal balance
of the Certificates (other than the Class A-P Certificates) included in the
Undercollateralized Group is equal to the Group One Non-PO Allocated Amount or the
Group Two Non-PO Allocated Amount, as the case may be. Moreover, the Available
Distribution Amount with respect to the Overcollateralized Group will be further
reduced (after distributions of interest to the Class A Certificates included in the
Overcollateralized Group) in an amount equal to one month’s interest on the amount
by which the Undercollateralized Group is undercollateralized at 6.00% per annum (if
Mortgage Group One is the Undercollateralized Group) or 5.50% per annum (if Mortgage
Group Two is the Undercollateralized Group), plus any shortfall of such amounts from
prior Distribution Dates; provided, however, that in no event shall the Available
Distribution Amount with respect to the Overcollateralized Group on any Distribution
Date be reduced by more than the sum of (i) the overcollateralized amount with
respect to the Overcollateralized Group and (ii) interest thereon at the applicable
Remittance Rate. Such amounts will be distributed to the applicable Classes of
Certificates in the priority of interest payable on such Distribution Date.
(c) Amounts payable on any Distribution Date to the Class M Certificateholders pursuant to
Section 6.01(I)(a)(iii) shall be distributed in the following priority:

any Carry-over Subordinated Principal Amounts with respect to the Class M Certificates.

(C) the pro rata portion, if any, of the Subordinated Optimal Principal Amount allocable to the
Class B-1 Certificates in accordance with Section 6.01(I)(e) plus (D) any Carry-over Subordinated
Principal Amounts with respect to the Class B-1 Certificates plus (E) any portion of the
Subordinated Optimal Principal Amount allocated to the Class M Certificates in excess of the
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Class;
(2) second, to the Class B-2 Certificateholders, up to an amount equal to (A) the Class B-2
Interest Accrual Amount plus (B) the Class B-2 Shortfall from the preceding Distribution Date plus

Class B-2 Certificates in accordance with Section 6.01(I)(e) plus (D) any Carry-over Subordinated
Principal Amounts with respect to the Class B-2 Certificates plus (E) any portion of the
Subordinated Optimal Principal Amount allocated to the Class B-1 Certificates in excess of the
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Class;
(3) third, to the Class B-3 Certificateholders, up to an amount equal to (A) the Class B-3
Interest Accrual Amount plus (B) the Class B-3 Shortfall from the preceding Distribution Date plus
(C) the pro rata portion, if any, of the Subordinated Optimal Principal Amount allocable to the
Class B-3 Certificates in accordance with Section 6.01(I)(e) plus (D) any Carry-over Subordinated
Principal Amounts with respect to the Class B-3 Certificates plus (E) any portion of the
Subordinated Optimal Principal Amount allocated to the Class B-2 Certificates in excess of the
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Class;
(4) fourth, to the Class B-4 Certificateholders, up to an amount equal to (A) the Class B-4
Interest Accrual Amount plus (B) the Class B-4 Shortfall from the preceding Distribution Date plus
(C) the pro rata portion, if any, of the Subordinated Optimal Principal Amount allocable to the
Class B-4 Certificates in accordance with Section 6.01(I)(e) plus (D) any Carry-over Subordinated
Principal Amounts with respect to the Class B-4 Certificates plus (E) any portion of the
Subordinated Optimal Principal Amount allocated to the Class B-3 Certificates in excess of the
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Class; and
(5) fifth, to the Class B-5 Certificateholders, up to an amount equal to (A) the Class B-5
Interest Accrual Amount plus (B) the Class B-5 Shortfall from the preceding Distribution Date plus
(C) the pro rata portion, if any, of the Subordinated Optimal Principal Amount allocable to the
Class B-5 Certificates in accordance with Section 6.01(I)(e) plus (D) any Carry-over Subordinated
Principal Amounts with respect to the Class B-5 Certificates plus (E) any portion of the
Subordinated Optimal Principal Amount allocated to the Class B-4 Certificates in excess of the
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Class.
(e) On each Distribution Date, the Subordinated Optimal Principal Amount shall be allocated
among the Classes of Subordinated Certificates entitled, pursuant to the next succeeding sentence,
to an allocation of principal on such Distribution Date, pro rata based upon the Outstanding
79
Certificate Principal Balances of all such Classes so entitled. With respect to the Subordinated
Certificates, on each Distribution Date, principal shall be distributable to (1) any Class of
Subordinated Certificates which has current Credit Support (before giving effect to any
distribution of principal and any Realized Losses allocable on such Distribution Date) greater than
or equal to the Original Credit Support for such Class; (2) the Class having the lowest numerical
class designation of any outstanding Class of Subordinated Certificates which does not meet the
criteria in (1) above; and (3) the Class B-5 Certificates if all other outstanding Classes of
Subordinated Certificates meet the criteria in (1) above or if no other Class of Subordinated
Certificates is outstanding; provided, however, that no Class of Subordinated Certificates shall
receive any distributions of principal if any Class of Subordinated Certificates having a lower
numerical class designation than such Class fails to meet the criteria in (1) above. For purposes
of this Agreement, the Class M Certificates shall be deemed to have a lower numerical class
designation than each Class of Class B Certificates.
(II) On or after the Credit Support Depletion Date, the Available Distribution Amount shall be
applied, first, in respect of interest in accordance with Section 6.01(I)(b)(i) and, second, in
respect of principal to each Class of the Class A Certificates, pro rata, based upon their
respective outstanding balances.
(III) Based upon the information received from the Servicer, as provided in Section 6.02, the
Paying Agent shall make all calculations necessary to make the distributions described in this
Section 6.01. All distributions made to Certificateholders of any Class on each Distribution Date
will be made to the Certificateholders of the respective Class of record on the next preceding
Record Date, except that the final distribution with respect to each Class shall be made as
provided in the forms of Certificates. All distributions made to Certificateholders shall be based
on the Percentage Interest of the Class represented by their respective Certificates, and shall be
made either by transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or
other financial or depository institution having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder
has so notified the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying
Agent, in writing at least 10 Business Days prior to the first Distribution Date for which
distribution by wire transfer is to be made and such Holder’s Certificates of such Class in the
aggregate evidence an original denomination of not less than $5,000,000 or such Holder holds a 100%
Percentage Interest of such Class or, if not, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register, except that the final distribution in retirement
of the Certificates will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the
office specified in the final Distribution Notice. If on any Determination Date, the Servicer
determines that there are no Mortgage Loans outstanding and no other funds or assets in the Trust
Fund other than the funds in the Certificate Account, the Trustee or if a Paying Agent has been
appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent shall promptly send the final distribution notice to
each Certificateholder specifying the manner in which the final distribution will be made.

Upon reasonable advance notice in writing if required by federal regulation, the Servicer will
provide to each Certificateholder which is a savings and loan association, bank or insurance
company certain reports and access during business hours to information and documentation regarding
the Mortgage Loans sufficient to permit such Certificateholder to comply with applicable

Servicer or the Trustee may, at its
82
option but with the consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
appoint an organization which regularly engages in the preparation and filing of such documents on

Section 6.03 Advances by the Servicer. If, on any Determination Date, the Servicer
determines that any Monthly Payments due on the immediately preceding Due Date have not been
received, the Servicer shall, unless it determines in its sole discretion that such amounts will
not be recoverable from Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise, make an Advance on or
before two Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date in an amount equal to the amount of
such delinquent Monthly Payments, after adjustment of any delinquent interest payment for the
Servicing Fee. For purposes of this Section 6.03, the delinquent Monthly Payments referred to in
the preceding sentence shall be deemed to include an amount equal to the Monthly Payments that
would have been due on Mortgage Loans which have been foreclosed or otherwise terminated and in
connection with which the Servicer acquired and continues to own the Mortgaged Properties on behalf
of the Certificateholders. If the Servicer makes an Advance, it shall on or prior to two Business
Days prior to such Distribution Date either (i) deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal
to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection
Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as
permitted by this Section 6.03, used by the Servicer to make such Advance or (iii) make Advances in
the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any
funds being held in the Collection Account for future distribution to Certificateholders and so
used pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above shall be replaced by the Servicer from its own funds by
deposit into the Collection Account on or before any subsequent Distribution Date to the extent
that funds in the Collection Account on such Distribution Date shall be less than the amount of
payments required to be made to Certificateholders on such Distribution Date. Any such Advance
shall be included with the distribution to the Certificateholders on the related Distribution Date.
If the Servicer determines not to make a Nonrecoverable Advance, it shall on the related
Determination Date furnish to the Trustee, any co-trustee, the Paying Agent and each Rating Agency
notice of such determination. The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection
Account for all Advances and Nonrecoverable Advances as provided in Section 5.09.
Section 6.04 Allocation of Realized Losses.
(a) Prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine (i) the total amount of
Realized Losses, if any, incurred during the related Principal Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and
to what extent such Realized Losses constitute Excess Losses; and (iii) the respective portions of
such Realized Losses allocable to interest and to principal.
(b) The principal portion of any Realized Losses, other than Excess Losses, shall be allocated
as follows: first, to the Class B-5 Certificates until the Outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class B-5 Certificates has been reduced to zero; second, to Class B-4 Certificates
until the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-4 Certificates has been reduced
to zero; third, to the Class B-3 Certificates until the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance
of the Class B-3 Certificates has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class B-2 Certificates until
the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-2 Certificates has been reduced to
zero; fifth, to the Class B-1 Certificates until the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of
the Class B-1 Certificates has been reduced to zero; sixth, to
83
the Class M Certificates until the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M
Certificates has been reduced to zero; and seventh, (X) if the Realized Loss has occurred with
respect to a Group One Mortgage Loan, first to the Class 1-A Certificates on a pro rata basis until
the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 1-A Certificates has been reduced to
zero, and second to the Class 2-A Certificates on a pro rata basis until the Outstanding
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 2-A Certificates has been reduced to zero or (Y) if the
Realized Loss has occurred with respect to a Group Two Mortgage Loan, first to the Class 2-A
Certificates on a pro rata basis until the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
2-A Certificates has been reduced to zero, and second to the Class 1-A Certificates on a pro rata
basis until the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 1-A Certificates has been
reduced to zero; provided, however, that if a Realized Loss occurs with respect to a Discount
Mortgage Loan (a) the amount of such Realized Loss equal to the product of (i) the amount of such
Realized Loss and (ii) the PO Percentage with respect to such Discount Mortgage Loan will be
allocated to Class A-P Component One (if the Realized Loss occurred with respect to a Group One
Mortgage Loan), or to Class A-P Component Two (if the Realized Loss occurred with respect to the
Group Two Mortgage Loan) and (b) the remainder of such Realized Loss will be allocated as described
above; provided, however, that so long as the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the
Class 1-A2 Certificates is greater than zero, (A) any Realized Losses (other than Excess Losses)
that would otherwise be allocated to the Class 1-A1 Certificates will instead be allocated to the
Class 1-A2 Certificates; and provided further, however, that so long as the Outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class 2-A2 Certificates is greater than zero, any Realized Losses (other
than Excess Losses) that would otherwise be allocated to the Class 2-A1 Certificates will instead
be allocated to the Class 2-A2 Certificates. The principal portion of any Excess Losses shall be
allocated without priority among (i) all Classes of Subordinated Certificates and (ii) the Class A
Certificates, pro rata based upon their respective Outstanding Certificate Principal Balances;
provided , however, that the Class A Certificates related to the Mortgage Group in which the Excess
Loss occurs will be allocated the portion of such Excess Losses that would otherwise be allocated
to the Class A Certificates not related to such Mortgage Group; and provided, further, however,
that the applicable PO Percentage of any Excess Losses on the Discount Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated to Class A-P Component One (if the Excess Loss occurred with respect to a Group One
Mortgage Loan), or to Class A-P Component Two (if the Excess Loss occurred with respect to a Group
Two Mortgage Loan). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, each Class of Subordinated
Certificates will be deemed to have an Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance (and to accrue
interest thereon) equal to the actual Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance thereof times a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Group One Subordinated Amount (for a loss on a Group One
Mortgage Loan) or the Group Two Subordinated Amount (for a loss on a Group Two Mortgage Loan), and
the denominator of which is the aggregate of the Group One Subordinated Amount and the Group Two
Subordinated Amount.
(c) As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a “pro rata basis” among two or more
specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on a pro rata basis, among the various
Classes so specified, to each such Class of Certificates on the basis of their Outstanding
Certificate Principal Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such
Distribution Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class of Certificates
hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage
Interests evidenced thereby.
(d) In the event that a recovery is made with respect to any Realized Loss, the amount of such
recovery shall be treated as a Principal Prepayment and deposited into the Collection Account and
distributed on the applicable Distribution Date.
Section 6.05 Compensating Interest; Allocation of Certain Interest Shortfalls.
84
(a) Upon a Principal Prepayment of a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall deposit into the
Collection Account from its own funds, as a reduction of its servicing compensation hereunder, an
amount, if any, by which the amount of the interest that would otherwise accrue with respect to
such Mortgage Loan from the date of prepayment to the Due Date in the related Due Period at the Net
Mortgage Rate exceeds the amount of the interest (adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate) collected from
the Mortgagor with respect to such period (such amount, “Compensating Interest”); provided,
however, that with respect to any Distribution Date, the Servicer’s obligation to deposit any such
amount is limited to an amount equal to the product of (i) one-twelfth of 0.125% and (ii) the
aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans with respect to such Distribution Date.
(b) On any Distribution Date, the excess, if any, of (X) Compensating Interest with respect to
such Distribution Date over (Y) the amount deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to (a)
above for such Distribution Date shall equal the “Compensating Interest Shortfall” with respect to
such Distribution Date. On any Distribution Date, the Compensating Interest Shortfall shall be
allocated pro rata among the outstanding Classes of Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates based
on the amount of interest to which each such Class would otherwise be paid on such Distribution
Date had there been no such Compensating Interest Shortfall.
(c) On any Distribution Date, the interest portion of any Realized Losses (“Realized Loss
Interest Shortfall”) (other than the interest portion of Excess Losses) shall be allocated to
the Class of Subordinated Certificates then outstanding having the highest numerical class
designation (for this purpose, the Class M Certificates shall be deemed to have a lower numerical
class designation than each Class of Class B Certificates) or, if no Class of Subordinated
Certificates is then outstanding, to the Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-P
Certificates) pro rata among the outstanding Classes of Class A Certificates (other than the Class
A-P Certificates) based on the amount of interest to which each such Class would otherwise be
entitled on such Distribution Date had there been no such Realized Loss Interest Shortfall. On any
Distribution Date, the interest portion of any Excess Losses shall be allocated pro rata among the
outstanding Classes of Certificates based upon the amount of interest to which each such Class
would otherwise be entitled on such Distribution Date had there been no such Excess Losses
allocable to interest.
(d) Any interest shortfall resulting from the Relief Act shall be allocated pro rata among the
outstanding Classes of Certificates based upon the amount of interest to which each such Class
would otherwise be paid on such Distribution Date.
Section 6.06 Subordination. The rights of the Class B Certificateholders to receive
distributions in respect of the Class B Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be subordinated
to the rights of the Class A and Class M Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of
the Class A and Class M Certificates. The rights of the Class M Certificateholders to receive
distributions in respect of the Class M Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be subordinated
to the rights of the Class A Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Class A
Certificates. The rights of the Class B-1 Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect
of the Class B-1 Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be subordinate to the rights of the
Class A and Class M Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of such Class A and
Class M Certificates. Each Class of Class B Certificates (other than the Class B-1 Certificates)
is subordinated to the Class A Certificates, the Class M Certificates and each Class of Class B
Certificates having a lower numerical class designation than such Class of Class B Certificates.
The rights of the Servicer, as servicer, to receive funds from the Collection Account, pursuant to
Section 5.09, on account of the Servicing Fee (except as provided in Section 6.05) in respect of
each Mortgage Loan, assumption fees, late payment charges and other mortgagor charges,
reimbursement of Advances and expenses or otherwise, shall not be subordinated to the rights of the
Class A, Class M or Class B Certificateholders. Amounts held by the Servicer or the Paying Agent
for
85
future distribution to the Class M or Class B Certificateholders, including, without
limitation, in the Collection Account, shall not be distributed in respect of the Class M or Class
B Certificates except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Class B
Certificateholders are deemed to have granted a security interest in such amounts to the Class A
and Class M Certificateholders to secure the rights of the Class A and Class M Certificateholders
to receive distributions in priority over the Class B Certificateholders. The Class M
Certificateholders are deemed to have granted a security interest in such amounts to the Class A
Certificateholders to secure the rights of the Class A Certificateholders to receive distributions
in priority over the Class A Certificateholders.
Section 6.07 Capitalization Reimbursement Amounts. If the Servicer permits any
Mortgagor to defer or reduce any payment pursuant to a modification of the related Mortgage Loan,
the Servicer will be permitted to reimburse itself for any Advances made with respect to such
Mortgage Loan from payments made on such Mortgage Loan and from any principal payments received in
respect of the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Group.

REPORTS TO BE PREPARED BY THE SERVICER
Section 7.01 Servicer Shall Provide Information as Reasonably Required. The Servicer
shall furnish to the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed pursuant to Section 4.05, the
Paying Agent, during the term of this Agreement, such periodic, special, or other reports or
information, whether or not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable, or appropriate
in respect to the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed pursuant to Section 4.05, the
Paying Agent, or otherwise in respect to the purposes of this Agreement, all such reports or
information to be as provided by and in accordance with such applicable instructions and directions
as the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed pursuant to Section 4.05, the Paying Agent
may reasonably require.
Section 7.02 Federal Information Returns and Reports to Certificateholders.
(a) For federal income tax purposes, the taxable year of each REMIC Pool shall be a calendar
year and the Servicer shall maintain or cause the maintenance of the books of each REMIC Pool on
the accrual method of accounting.
(b) The Servicer or anyone acting on its behalf pursuant to Section 2.04(g) shall prepare and
file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service federal tax or information returns with
respect to the Trust Fund, each REMIC Pool and the Certificates containing such information and at
the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or applicable Treasury regulations, and
shall furnish to each Certificateholder at any time during the calendar year for which such returns
or reports are made such statements or information at the times and in the manner as may be
required thereby. Without limitation on any other requirement of this Section 7.02, the Servicer
shall make available the information necessary for the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code
within 60 days of such request. With respect to the Class A-R Certificate, the Servicer shall
provide such information or cause such information to be provided to (i) the Internal Revenue
Service, (ii) the transferor of a Class A-R Certificate to a Disqualified Organization and (iii) a
Pass-Thru Entity that holds a Class A-R Certificate with one or more record holders that are
Disqualified Organizations. The Servicer also shall provide or cause to be provided promptly the
above described computation and information relating to the tax on transfers to Disqualified
Organizations or holdings by Pass-Thru Entities within sixty (60) days after becoming aware of the
86
transfer to a Disqualified Organization or Pass-Thru Entity with one or more Disqualified
Organization owners, as the case may be. In addition, except as may be provided in Treasury
Regulations, any Person holding an interest in a Pass-Thru Entity as a nominee for another will,
with respect to such interest, be treated as a Pass-Thru Entity. In connection with the foregoing,
the Servicer shall provide the name, address and telephone number of the person who can be
contacted to obtain information required to be reported to the holders of regular interests in any
REMIC created hereunder (the “REMIC Reporting Agent”) as required by IRS Form 8811. The Trustee
hereby designates the Servicer to serve as the REMIC Reporting Agent. The Servicer shall indicate
the elections to treat each of the REMIC Pools as a REMIC (which elections shall apply to the
taxable period ending December 31, 2007 and each calendar year thereafter) in such manner as the
Code or applicable Treasury regulations may prescribe. The Trustee shall sign all tax and
information returns filed pursuant to this Section 7.02 and any other returns as may be required by
the Code, and in doing so shall rely entirely upon, and shall have no liability for information
provided by, or calculations provided by, the Servicer. The Servicer is hereby designated as the
agent of the Holder of the Class A-R Certificate who shall be the “tax matters person” (within the
meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.860F-4(d)) for each REMIC Pool. Any Holder of a Class A-R Certificate
will by acceptance thereof so appoint the Servicer as agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of
acting as tax matters person. In the event that the Code or applicable Treasury regulations
prohibit the Trustee from signing tax or information returns or other statements, or the Servicer
from acting as tax matters person (as an agent or otherwise), the Trustee or the Servicer, as the
case may be, shall take whatever action that in its sole good faith judgment is necessary for the
proper filing of such information returns or for the provision of a tax matters person, including
designation of the Holder of a Class A-R Certificate to sign such returns or act as tax matters
person. Each Holder of a Class A-R Certificate shall be bound by this Section 7.02 by virtue of
its acceptance of a Class A-R Certificate.
[END OF ARTICLE VII]
ARTICLE VIII
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICER
Section 8.01 Indemnification; Third Party Claims. The Servicer agrees to indemnify
the Depositor and the Trustee and hold the Depositor and the Trustee, their officers, directors,
employees and agents harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Depositor
or the Trustee, or their officers, directors, employees or agents may sustain in any way related to
failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the
terms of this Agreement; provided that no such indemnification shall be required with respect to
acts of a prior Servicer. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Depositor and the Trustee if a
claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with
the consent of the Depositor and the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in
connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment
or decree which may be entered against it, the Depositor or the Trustee, their officers, directors,
employees or agents in respect of such claim. This right to indemnification shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
Section 8.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Servicer. The Depositor
and the Servicer will each keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a
corporation, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation
in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity
and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its duties under this Agreement. The Servicer
87
will not sell all or substantially all of its assets without the prior written consent of the
Depositor and the Trustee which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Any Person into which the Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or to whom
the Depositor or the Servicer has sold substantially all of its assets, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion 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 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
satisfy the requirements of Section 8.05 with respect to the qualifications of a successor to the
Servicer.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 8.02 and Section 8.04 to the contrary, the
Servicer may assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations under this Agreement;
provided that the Person accepting such assignment or delegation shall be a Person which is
qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of FNMA or FHLMC, is approved in advance in writing
by the Trustee and the Depositor, is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and executes and
delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the
due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or
observed by the Servicer under this Agreement; provided further that each Rating Agency’s rating of
any of the Classes of Certificates that have been rated in effect immediately prior to such
assignment and delegation will not be qualified or reduced or withdrawn as a result of such
assignment and delegation. In the case of any such assignment and delegation, the Servicer shall
be released from its obligations as Servicer under this Agreement, except that the Servicer shall
remain liable for all liabilities and obligations incurred by it as Servicer hereunder prior to the
satisfaction of the conditions to such assignment and delegation set forth in the next preceding
sentence.
Section 8.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and
Others. Neither the Depositor, the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or
agents of the Depositor or the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trustee or the
Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good
faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Depositor or the Servicer against any breach of warranties or representations
made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict compliance with this Agreement, or any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of
this Agreement. The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may rely in good faith on any document of any
kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder. Neither the Depositor, the Servicer nor the Trustee shall be under any obligation to
appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its respective duties to
service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may cause it
to incur any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Depositor, the Servicer or the
Trustee may in its discretion (and, in the case of the Depositor or the Servicer, with the consent
of the Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) undertake any such action which
it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereto. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability
resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities payable from the Collection Account
and the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of
the Collection Account as provided by Section 5.09; provided that no such right of reimbursement
shall exist with respect to the Servicer when such claim relates to the failure of the Servicer to
service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement or to a breach of
a representation or warranty made by the Servicer hereunder.
88
Section 8.04 Depositor and Servicer Not to Resign. Except as described in Section
8.02, neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall assign this Agreement or resign from the
obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Depositor, the Servicer
and all of the Certificateholders unless the determination is made that its duties hereunder are no
longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Depositor or the
Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Depositor or the Servicer shall
be evidenced by an opinion of independent counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee which
opinion of counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Trustee. Upon any such
assignment or resignation, the Depositor or the Servicer, as appropriate, shall send notice to all
Certificateholders of the effect of such assignment or resignation upon the then current rating of
the Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency whose rating on such Class is then in effect. No
such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Depositor’s or the
Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 8.05. Any
purported assignment or resignation which does not comply with the requirements of this Section
shall be of no effect.
Section 8.05 Successor to the Servicer. In connection with the termination of the
Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.04 or 9.01, the
Trustee shall succeed to and assume all of the Servicer’s responsibilities, rights, duties and
obligations as Servicer (but not in any other capacity) under this Agreement (except that the
Trustee shall not be obligated to make Advances if prohibited by applicable law nor to effectuate
repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 and except that the Trustee
makes no representations and warranties pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.02). Prior to the
termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement, the
Trustee may appoint a successor having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and which is a FNMA
or FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing and which shall succeed to all rights and assume
all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement, except as
aforesaid, if the Trustee receives a letter from each Rating Agency that such appointment would not
result in a reduction or withdrawal of the current rating of any Class of Certificates that is
rated by a Rating Agency. Any co-trustee appointed pursuant to Section 10.10 for purposes of this
Section 8.05 shall have an obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section 6.03 during such time as
the Trustee is the Servicer, which obligation shall be joint and several with that of the Trustee
as Servicer. If the Trustee has become the successor to the Servicer in accordance with this
Section or Section 9.03, then notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling
to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution having a net worth of
not less than $15,000,000 and which is a FNMA or FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing as
the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all of the responsibilities, duties or
liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. In connection with any such appointment and assumption, the
Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on
Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree or such court shall determine; provided,
however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted under this Agreement
without the consent of all of the Certificateholders. If the Trustee is acting as Servicer, the
Trustee shall be entitled to all compensation of the Servicer hereunder, and all such compensation
due to the Trustee as Servicer shall be in addition to all compensation it is entitled to as
Trustee under this Agreement. If the Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under
this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to Section 8.02, 8.04 or 9.01, the Servicer shall
discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of
such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence
which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that
might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor or the Trust Fund.
The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02, 8.04 or 9.01 shall not become
effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section and shall in no event
relieve the Servicer of liability for breach of the representations and warranties made pursuant to
Section 3.02.
89
Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Servicer and to the Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor
shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and
liabilities of the Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement
and the Certificates. Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or this Agreement pursuant to
Section 8.02, 8.04, 9.01 or 11.01 shall not affect any claims that the Trustee may have against the
Servicer for events or actions taken or not taken by the Servicer arising prior to any such
termination or resignation.
The Servicer shall timely deliver to the successor the funds that were, or were required to
be, in the Collection Account and the Escrow Account, if any, and all Mortgage Files and related
documents, statements and recordkeeping held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all
funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be
required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers,
duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer.
Upon a successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Servicer shall notify, in writing,
the Trustee, the Certificateholders and each Rating Agency of such appointment.
Section 8.06 Maintenance of Ratings. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor
and take any action that may be reasonably necessary to maintain the current rating or ratings on
the Certificates.
[END OF ARTICLE VIII]
ARTICLE IX
DEFAULT
Section 9.01 Events of Default. If one or more of the following Events of Default
shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:
(a) any failure by the Servicer to remit any payment required to be made or distributed under
the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of three (3) Business Days
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 Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Depositor or to the
Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Depositor by the Holders of Certificates of any
Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25%; or
(b) a breach by the Servicer in a material respect of any representation or warranty set forth
in Section 3.02, or 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 set forth in this
Agreement, which continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written
notice of such breach or failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor or to the Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor by the
Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating
not less than 25%; or
(c) the Servicer shall notify the Trustee and any Paying Agent appointed pursuant to Section
4.05 in writing that it is unable to make an Advance required to be made in accordance with Section
6.03; or;
90
(d) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for
the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation
of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have
remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or
(e) 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 or similar
proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of the
Servicer’s property; or
(f) 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;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied,
upon receiving notice or knowledge of such event, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders
and each Rating Agency of such Event of Default. The Trustee may, upon receipt of such notice or
knowledge, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage
Interests aggregating more than 50%, shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer, terminate all the
rights and obligations of the 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 Mortgage
Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to Section
8.05. Upon written request from the Trustee, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver, any
and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Mortgage Files,
and 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, at the Servicer’s sole expense. The Servicer
agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and any co-trustee in effecting the termination of the
Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to
such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited or
should have been credited by the Servicer to the Collection Account or Escrow Account or thereafter
received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee will have no obligation to take any
action or institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement at the request, order or
direction of any of the Holders of Certificates unless such Certificateholders have offered to the
Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which the
Trustee may incur. The Paying Agent shall provide information regarding the Certificateholders
available to the Paying Agent in order to allow the Trustee to comply with the provisions above.
Section 9.02 Waiver of Defaults. The Trustee may waive any default by the Servicer in
the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except that a default in the
making of any required distribution on any of the Certificates may only be waived by the Holders of
a majority of the Percentage Interests of the affected Certificateholders. Upon any such waiver of
a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent
expressly so waived.
Section 9.03 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the
Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 9.01, the Trustee or a successor
servicer appointed by it shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer to the extent
provided in Section 8.05.
Section 9.04 Notification to Certificateholders and the Rating Agencies.
91
(a) Upon any such termination pursuant to Section 9.01, the Trustee shall give prompt written
notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register and to each Rating Agency.
(b) Within sixty (60) days of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee having received written
notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders
of Certificates notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such
Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
(c) The Paying Agent shall provide information regarding the Certificateholders available to
the Paying Agent in order to allow the Trustee to comply with the provisions above.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 10.01 Duties of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to, and
is empowered to, perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. Any permissive right of the Trustee as enumerated in this Agreement shall not be
construed as a duty; provided that in case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been
cured), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement,
and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of such man’s own affairs.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for
its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided,
however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing of all such
Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall
be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be
liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee,
the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee
and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that
the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of
Certificateholders of any Class holding Certificates which evidence, as to such Class,
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% as to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust
or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement.
92
(iv) The Trustee shall execute the Letter of Representations, a form of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit P, on behalf of the Depositor.
Section 10.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 10.01:
(a) The Trustee may rely upon and shall be 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties;
(b) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full
and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by
it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;
(c) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in
it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation
hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred
therein or thereby;
(d) Neither the Trustee nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be
personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it
or any of them to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon the
Trustee by this Agreement;
(e) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing of all
Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing to do so by Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to such Class,
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% (in the case of conflicting requests by two or
more 25% or greater Percentage Interests, the Trustee shall act in accordance with the first such
request); provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the
costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is,
in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it
by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense
or liability as a condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination
shall be paid by the Servicer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and
otherwise by the Certificateholder requesting the investigation;
(f) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents, subcontractors or attorneys; and
(g) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require the Trustee (except as might
otherwise be required in its capacity as successor Servicer) to expend its own funds.
Section 10.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans. The recitals
contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may
be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates, of any Mortgage Loan or related document or the Trust. The Trustee shall not be
accountable for the use or application by the
93
Depositor or the Servicer of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates,
or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Servicer in respect of the
Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Depositor or the
Servicer or the Certificate Account by the Paying Agent. The Trustee shall have no responsibility
for the timeliness or the amount of payments made by the Paying Agent to the Certificateholders.
Section 10.04 Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its individual or any
other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have
if it were not Trustee.
Section 10.05 Fees and Expenses. The Paying Agent shall pay the fees and expenses of
the Trustee.
Section 10.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee hereunder shall at
all times be an entity having its principal office in a state and city acceptable to the Depositor
and organized and doing business under the laws of such 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. The Trustee shall not be an Affiliate of either Seller or the Depositor. If such
entity publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of
the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.07.
Section 10.07 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee. The Trustee, and any co-trustee
may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice
thereof to the Depositor, the Servicer and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or co-trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee
and one copy to the successor trustee; provided that such appointment does not result in a
reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any of the Classes of Certificates that have been rated.
If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty
(30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time, the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, or if at
any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent,
or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall
take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint
a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee.
The Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate more than 50% of Percentage Interest
may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or
instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one
complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the
Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed.
94
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or any resignation of any co-trustee and appointment
of a successor trustee or co-trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 10.08, or
upon acceptance of appointment by a co-trustee, as applicable, unless with respect to a co-trustee,
the Trustee receives written notice from each Rating Agency that the failure to appoint a successor
co-trustee would not result in a withdrawal or reduction of the rating of any of the Classes of
Certificates that have been rated, in which case the resignation of any co-trustee shall be
effective upon receipt of such written notice. Any co-trustee may not be removed unless the
Depositor and the Trustee each receive written notice from each Rating Agency that such removal
would not result in a withdrawal or reduction of the rating of any of the Classes of Certificates
that have been rated, in which case the removal of any co-trustee shall be effective upon receipt
of such written notice.
Section 10.08 Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in
Section 10.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor
trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or
removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective, and such successor trustee shall become
effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with
the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to
the successor trustee all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder,
and the Depositor, the Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly
vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time
of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 10.06.
Prior to the appointment of any successor trustee becoming effective, the Depositor shall have
received from each Rating Agency written confirmation that such appointment would not result in a
reduction of the rating of the Class A or Class M Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the
Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of
Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register, to the Servicer, any
Sub-Servicer and to each Rating Agency. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within ten (10)
days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause
such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.
Section 10.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any entity into which the Trustee
may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any entity resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding
to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 10.06, 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 10.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. At any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund
or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Depositor 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, of
any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to
the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.10,
such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as
95
the Depositor and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Depositor shall not
have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request so to
do, or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall
have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 10.06, hereunder,
and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s)
shall be required under Section 10.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section
10.10, 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 and severally, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in
which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor
to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or
acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to
the Trust Fund 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.
Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement
and the conditions of this Article X. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of
the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of
appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to
all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement
relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.
Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its agent or
attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any
lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name.
Section 10.11 Appointment of Office or Agency. The Trustee may appoint an office or
agency in The City of New York where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange. The Trustee will maintain an office at the address stated in Section 12.07 hereof
where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates may be served.
Section 10.12 Indemnification.
(a) The Paying Agent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Servicer and their respective officers, directors, agents and Affiliates from and against any
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a failure of the Paying Agent to deliver
when required any Assessment of Compliance required of it pursuant to Section 5.26 or any material
misstatement or omission contained in any Assessment of Compliance provided on its behalf pursuant
to Section 5.26. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless the indemnified parties, then the Paying Agent agrees that it shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the indemnified parties as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities of the indemnified parties in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the Paying Agent on the one hand and of the indemnified parties on the other.
(b) The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the
Depositor and their respective officers, directors, agents and Affiliates from and against any
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs
96
and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach by the Servicer or any of its officers,
directors, agents or Affiliates of its obligations under Sections 5.24, 5.25, and 5.26, any
material misstatement or omission in any documents prepared thereunder (to the extent the Servicer
is responsible for providing information or calculating amounts included in such information), the
failure of the Servicer to deliver when required any Assessment of Compliance or Accountant’s
Attestation required of it pursuant to Section 5.26 or Annual Statement of Compliance required
pursuant to Section 5.25, as applicable, or any material misstatement or omission contained in any
Assessment of Compliance, Accountant’s Attestation or Annual Statement of Compliance provided on
its behalf pursuant to Section 5.25 or 5.26, as applicable, or the negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of the Servicer in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the indemnified parties, then the Servicer agrees that
it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified parties as a result of the
losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the indemnified parties in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Servicer on the one hand and of the indemnified
parties on the other.

ARTICLE XI
TERMINATION
Section 11.01 Termination. The respective obligations and responsibilities of the
Depositor, the Servicer (except the duty to pay the Trustee’s fees and expenses and indemnification
hereunder) and the Trustee shall terminate upon (i) the later of the final payment or other
liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of
all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the
remittance of all funds due hereunder; or (ii) at the option of the Servicer, on any Distribution
Date which occurs in the month next following a Due Date on which the aggregate unpaid Principal
Balance of all Outstanding Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the aggregate unpaid Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans on the Cut-off Date, so long as the Servicer deposits or causes to be
deposited in the Collection Account during the Principal Prepayment Period related to such
Distribution Date (and provides notice to the Trustee with a copy to the Paying Agent appointed
pursuant to Section 4.05 of its intention to so deposit on or before 20th day of such Principal
Prepayment Period) an amount equal to the Purchase Price for each Outstanding Mortgage Loan, less
any unreimbursed Advances made with respect to any Mortgage Loan (which amount shall offset
completely any unreimbursed Advances for which the Servicer is otherwise entitled to
reimbursement), and, with respect to all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund, an amount equal to the fair market value of such property, as
determined by an appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser selected by the Trustee, less
unreimbursed Advances made with respect to any Mortgage Loan with respect to which property has
been acquired; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond
the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a termination may be effected by the making of such
optional repurchases only if the termination of the Trust Fund satisfies the requirement for a
“qualified liquidation” of the Trust Fund within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code and
the purchases of the Outstanding Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 11.01 will not constitute
“prohibited transactions” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code.
Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon which all Certificateholders
may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed pursuant
to Section 4.05, the Paying Agent for payment and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the
Trustee or, if
97
a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, (upon direction by the
Depositor ten (10) days prior to the date such notice is to be mailed) by signed letter to
Certificateholders and each Rating Agency mailed no later than the 25th day of the month preceding
the month of such final distribution specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which final payment
on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office or
agency of the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying
Agent, therein designated and (ii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution
Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under
Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, therein specified. The Servicer shall indicate the date of
adoption of the plan of qualified liquidation in a statement attached to the final federal income
tax return of each REMIC Pool. After giving such notice, the Trustee or if a Paying Agent has been
appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent shall not register the transfer or exchange of any
Certificates. If such notice is given in connection with the Servicer’s election to purchase the
Outstanding Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account after adoption of
the plan during the applicable Principal Prepayment Period an amount equal to the purchase price as
determined as provided in clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph and on the Distribution Date on
which such termination is to occur, Certificateholders will be entitled to the amount of such
purchase price but not amounts in excess thereof, all as provided herein. Upon presentation and
surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee, or if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section
4.05, the Paying Agent shall notify the Servicer and the Servicer shall cause to be distributed to
Certificateholders an amount equal to (a) the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution
Date, if not in connection with a purchase; or (b) if the Servicer elected to so purchase, the
purchase price determined as provided in clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph. Following such
final deposit the Trustee shall promptly release to the Servicer the Mortgage Files for the
remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other
instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer and shall have no further responsibility with
regard to said Mortgage Files.
If all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for cancellation
within three (3) months after the time specified in the above-mentioned written notice, at the
close of the 90 day period beginning after the written notice is given, each remaining
Certificateholder will be credited with an amount that would have been otherwise distributed to
such Certificateholder, and the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section
4.05, the Paying Agent, shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to
surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within three (3) months after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under
Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, shall appoint an agent to take appropriate and reasonable steps to
contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain in the Trust Fund hereunder.

covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the
validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.
98
Section 12.02 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death or incapacity of
any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle
such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any
action or proceeding in any court for a 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 herein) or in
any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of
the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the
Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners
or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third
Person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision
hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to
institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this
Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of
default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and the Holders of Certificates
of any Class evidencing in the aggregate not less than 25% of the Percentage Interests of such
Class shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding
in its own name as Trustee hereunder (in the case of conflicting requests by two or more 25% or
greater Percentage Interests, the Trustee shall act in accordance with the first such request) and
shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty (60) days
after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused
to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being
expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee,
that no one or more Holders of Certificates of any Class shall have any right in any manner
whatever by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of
the Holders of any other of such Certificates of such Class or any other Class, or to obtain or
seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under
this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the common benefit of
Certificateholders of such Class or all Classes, as the case may be. For the protection and
enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee
shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
Section 12.03 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, to
cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein which may be inconsistent with
any other provisions herein, to ensure continuing treatment of each REMIC created hereunder as a
REMIC to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on any REMIC created hereunder
pursuant to the Code, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising
under this Agreement which shall not be materially inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement, provided that such actions shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder of a Class having an
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of greater than zero or cause any REMIC created hereunder
to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than
66-2/3% of the Percentage Interest of each Class of Certificates having an Outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance greater than zero and affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying
in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; 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
99
are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate, (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which
are required to consent to any such amendment or (iii) change the percentage specified in clause
(ii) of the first paragraph of Section 11.01, without the consent of the Holders of all
Certificates of such Class then outstanding.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended from
time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of Certificateholders
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the interests held by parties other than the Depositor, its
Affiliates or its agents, for the purposes of significantly changing the Permitted Activities of
the Trust.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 12.03 to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment but it shall be sufficient if such consent
shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe. In connection with any amendment pursuant to this
Section 12.03 the Trustee, Paying Agent and Depositor shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all
conditions precedent to the execution of such amendment in accordance with this Section 12.03 have
been met.
Section 12.04 Counterparts. 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.

effect until terminated as herein provided.

Pooling and Servicing Agreement
(the “Agreement”), dated as of the Cut-off Date among the Depositor, the Servicer, the Custodian
and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Paying Agent and Trustee.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates, as designated above, and

Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which
Agreement such Holder is bound. Anyone acquiring this Certificate may ascertain its current
Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, by inquiry of the Paying Agent.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Paying Agent will distribute from funds in the
Certificate Account the amount specified in the Agreement on the 25th day of each month or, if such
25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the “Distribution Date”),

Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice
by the Paying Agent of the pendency of such distribution, and only upon presentation and

final distribution.
The Paying Agent will cause to be kept at its Agency & Trust Office in New York, New York, or

and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any

charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of the Certificate. Prior

This certifies that the Registered Owner identified above is the registered owner of the
ownership interest (the “Ownership Interest”) evidenced by this Certificate in certain
distributions with respect to a pool of Mortgage Loans formed and sold by Chase Mortgage Finance
Corporation (the “Depositor”), and certain other property held in trust for the benefit of
Certificateholders (collectively, the “Trust Fund”), as described in the Agreement. The Mortgage
Loans are serviced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Servicer”) and are secured by liens on the
Mortgaged Properties. The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement
(the “Agreement”), dated as of the Cut-off Date among the Depositor, the Servicer, the Custodian
and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Paying Agent and Trustee.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates, as designated above, and
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
Agreement such Holder is bound. Anyone acquiring this Certificate may ascertain its current
Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, by inquiry of the Paying Agent.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Paying Agent will distribute from funds in the
Certificate Account the amount specified in the Agreement on the 25th day of each month or, if such
25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the “Distribution Date”),
commencing on the Initial Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made in the manner specified in the Agreement.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice
by the Paying Agent of the pendency of such distribution, and only upon presentation and
F-2
surrender of this Certificate at the office of the Paying Agent specified in such notice of
final distribution.
The Paying Agent will cause to be kept at its Agency & Trust Office in New York, New York, or
at the office of its designated agent, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Paying Agent will provide for the registration of Certificates
and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Paying Agent, maintained for such purpose, the Paying
Agent will, subject to the limitations set forth in the Agreement, authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, a Certificate of a like class and dated the date
of authentication by the Authenticating Agent.
The Holder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the
Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent is liable to the
Holders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly
provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.
No service charge will be made to the Holder for any transfer or exchange of the Certificate,
but the Paying Agent 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 the Certificate. Prior
to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Paying Agent and the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as
the owner of such Certificate and the Percentage Interest in the Trust Fund evidenced thereby for
the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the Servicer, the Paying Agent nor the Trustee will be
affected by notice to the contrary.
The Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee
in the manner specified in the Agreement.
The Agreement provides that the Trust Fund will elect to be treated as one or more “real
estate mortgage investment conduits” for federal income tax purposes (each, a “REMIC”).
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Servicer (except the
duty to pay the Trustee’s fees and expenses and indemnification hereunder) and the Trustee shall
terminate in the manner specified in the Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the
trust created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the
last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to
the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof.
Unless the certificate of authentication has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, 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 Depositor has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

respect to any Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or any other similar security with any

other manner, or (e) take any other action, that would constitute a distribution of any Certificate
under the Securities Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), that
would render the disposition of any Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or
any state securities law, or that would require registration or qualification pursuant thereto.

ARTICLE II
SPECIAL SERVICING PROCEDURES
Section 2.01 Reports and Notices.
1. In connection with the performance of its duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
relating to the realization upon defaulted Mortgage Loans, the Company, as Servicer, shall provide
to the Purchaser the following notices and reports:
|
(a) |
|
Within five Business Days after each Distribution Date (or
included in or with the monthly statement to Certificateholders pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Company shall provide to the Purchaser a
report indicating for the Trust the number of Mortgage Loans that are (A)
thirty days, (B) sixty days, (C) ninety days or more delinquent or (D) in
foreclosure, and indicating for each such Mortgage Loan the outstanding
principal balance. |
|
|
(b) |
|
Prior to the Commencement of Foreclosure in connection with any
Mortgage Loan, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with a notice (sent by
telecopier) of such proposed and imminent foreclosure, stating the loan number
and the aggregate amount owing under the Mortgage Loan. |
2. If requested by the Purchaser, the Company shall make its servicing personnel available
(during their normal business hours) to respond to reasonable inquiries by the Purchaser in
connection with any Mortgage Loan identified in a report under subsection (a)(i)(B), (a)(i)(C),
(a)(i)(D) or (a)(ii) which has been given to the Purchaser; provided, that (1) the Company shall
only be required to provide information that is readily accessible to its servicing personnel and
is non-confidential and (2) the Company shall not be required to provide any written information
under this subsection.
3. In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall provide to the Purchaser such information
as the Purchaser may reasonably request concerning each Mortgage Loan that is at least sixty days
delinquent and each Mortgage Loan which has become real estate owned, through the final liquidation
thereof; provided that the Company shall only be required to provide information that is readily
accessible to its servicing personnel and is non-confidential.
|
(a) |
|
With respect to all Mortgage Loans which are serviced at any
time by the Company through a Subservicer, the Company shall be entitled to
rely for all purposes hereunder, including for purposes of fulfilling its
reporting obligations under this Section 2.01 on the accuracy and completeness
of any information provided to it by the applicable Subservicer. |
Section 2.02 Purchaser’s Election to Delay Foreclosure Proceedings.
1. The Purchaser directs the Company that in the event that the Company does not receive
written notice of the Purchaser’s election pursuant to subsection (b) below within 24 hours
(exclusive of any intervening non-Business Days) of transmission of the notice provided by
the Company under Section 2.01(a)(ii), subject to extension as set forth in Section 2.02(b), the
Company shall proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure in respect of such Mortgage Loan in
accordance with its normal foreclosure policies without further notice to the Purchaser. Any
foreclosure that has been initiated may be discontinued (i) without notice to the Purchaser, if the
Mortgage Loan has been brought current or if a refinancing or prepayment occurs with respect to the
Mortgage Loan (including by means of a short payoff approved by the Company) (ii) with notice to
the Purchaser if the Company has reached the terms of a forbearance agreement with the borrower.
In such latter case the Company may complete such
J-3
forbearance agreement unless instructed otherwise by the Purchaser within one Business Day of
notification.
2. In connection with any Mortgage Loan with respect to which a notice under Section
2.01(a)(ii) has been given to the Purchaser, the Purchaser may elect, for reasonable cause as
determined by the Purchaser, to instruct the Company to delay the Commencement of Foreclosure until
such term as the Purchaser determines that the Company may proceed with the Commencement of
Foreclosure. Such election must be evidenced by written notice received within 24 hours (exclusive
of any intervening non-Business Days) of transmission of the notice provided by the Company under
Section 2.01(a)(ii). Such 24 hour period shall be extended for no longer than an additional four
Business Days after the receipt of the information if the Purchaser requests additional information
related to such foreclosure; provided, however that the Purchaser will have at least one Business
Day to respond to any requested additional information. Any such additional information shall (i)
not be confidential in nature and (ii) be obtainable by the Company from existing reports,
certificates or statements or otherwise be readily accessible to its servicing personnel. The
Purchaser agrees that it has no right to deal with the Mortgagor. If the Company’s normal
foreclosure policy includes acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or short payoff, the
Purchaser will be notified and given one Business Day to respond.
3. With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an Election to Delay
Foreclosure, the Purchaser shall obtain a Current Appraisal as soon as practicable, and shall
provide the Company with a copy of such Current Appraisal.
4. Within two Business Days of making any Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Purchaser shall
remit by wire transfer to the Company, for deposit in the Collateral Fund, an amount, as calculated
by the Company, equal to the sum of (i) 125% of the greater of the outstanding Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loan and the value shown in the Current Appraisal referred to in subsection (c) above
(or, if such Current Appraisal has not yet been obtained, the Company’s estimate thereof, in which
case the required deposit under this subsection shall be adjusted upon obtaining of such Current
Appraisal), and (ii) three months’ interest on the Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Rate.
If any Election to Delay Foreclosure extends for a period in excess of three months (such excess
period being referred to herein as the “Excess Period”), the Purchaser shall remit by wire transfer
in advance to the Company for deposit in the Collateral Fund the amount, as calculated by the
Company, equal to interest on the Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Rate for the Excess
Period. The terms of this Agreement shall no longer apply to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan
upon the failure of the Purchaser to deposit the above amounts relating to the Mortgage Loan within
two Business Days of the Election to Delay Foreclosure.
5. With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an Election to Delay
Foreclosure, the Company may withdraw from the Collateral Fund from time to time amounts necessary
to reimburse the Company for all Advances and Liquidation Expenses thereafter made by the Company
as Servicer in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent that the amount
of any such Liquidation Expense is determined by the Company based on estimated costs, and the
actual costs are subsequently determined to be higher, the Company may withdraw the additional
amount from the Collateral Fund. In the event that the Mortgage Loan is brought current by the
Mortgagor and the foreclosure action is discontinued, the amounts so withdrawn from the Collateral
Fund shall be redeposited therein as and to the extent that reimbursement therefor from amounts
paid by the Mortgagor is not prohibited pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Except as
provided in the preceding sentence, amounts withdrawn from the Collateral Fund to cover Advances
and Liquidation Expenses shall not be redeposited therein or otherwise reimbursed to the Purchaser.
If and when any such Mortgage Loan is brought current by the Mortgagor, all amounts remaining in
the Collateral Fund in respect of such
J-4
Mortgage Loan (after adjustment for all withdrawals and deposits pursuant to this subsection)
shall be released to the Purchaser.
6. With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an Election to Delay
Foreclosure, the Company shall continue to service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with its
customary procedures (other than the delay in Commencement of Foreclosure as provided herein). If
and when the Purchaser shall notify the Company that it believes that it is appropriate to do so,
the Company shall proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure. In any event, if the Mortgage Loan
is not brought current by the Mortgagor by the time the loan becomes 6 months delinquent, the
Purchaser’s election shall no longer be effective and at the Purchaser’s option, either (i) the
Purchaser shall purchase the Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at a purchase price equal to the
fair market value as shown on the Current Appraisal, to be paid by (x) applying any balance in the
Collateral Fund to such purchase price, and (y) to the extent of any deficiency, by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the Company or Trustee; or (ii) the Company shall proceed with
the Commencement of Foreclosure.
7. Upon the occurrence of a liquidation with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the
Purchaser made an Election to Delay Foreclosure and as to which the Company proceeded with the
Commencement of Foreclosure in accordance with subsection (f) above, the Company shall calculate
the amount, if any, by which the value shown on the Current Appraisal obtained under subsection (c)
exceeds the actual sales price obtained for the related Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a
dwelling unit in the case of a Co-op Loan) (net of Liquidation Expenses and accrued interest
related to the extended foreclosure period), and the Company shall withdraw the amount of such
excess from the Collateral Fund, shall remit the same to the Trust Fund and in its capacity as
Servicer shall apply such amount as additional Liquidation Proceeds pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. After making such withdrawal, all amounts remaining in the Collateral Fund in
respect of such Mortgage Loan (after adjustment for all withdrawals and deposits pursuant to
subsection (e)) shall be released to the Purchaser.
Section 2.03 Purchaser’s Election to Commence Foreclosure Proceedings.
1. In connection with any Mortgage Loan identified in a report under Section 2.01(a)(i)(B),
the Purchaser may elect, for reasonable cause as determined by the Purchaser, to instruct the
Company to proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure as soon as practicable. Such election must
be evidenced by written notice received by the Company by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
third Business Day following the delivery of such report under Section 2.01(a)(i).
2. Within two Business Days of making any Election to Foreclose, the Purchaser shall remit to
the Company, for deposit in the Collateral Fund, an amount, as calculated by the Company, equal to
125% of the current Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan and three months’ interest on the
Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Rate. If and when any such Mortgage Loan is brought
current by the Mortgagor, all amounts in the Collateral Fund in respect of such Mortgage Loan shall
be released to the Purchaser. The terms of this Agreement shall no longer apply to the servicing
of any Mortgage Loan upon the failure of the Purchaser to deposit the above amounts relating to the
Mortgage Loans within two Business Days at the Election to Foreclose.
3. With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an Election to
Foreclose, the Company shall continue to service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with its customary
procedures (other than to proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure as provided herein). In
connection therewith, the Company shall have the same rights to make withdrawals for Advances and
Liquidation Expenses from the Collateral Fund as are provided under Section 2.02(e), and the
Company shall make reimbursements thereto to the limited extent provided under such subsection.
The Company shall not be required to proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure if (i) the same
is stayed as a result of the Mortgagor’s bankruptcy or is otherwise barred by applicable law, or to
the extent that all
J-5
legal conditions precedent thereto have not yet been complied with or (ii) the Company believes
there is a breach of representation or warranties by the Company, which may result in a repurchase
or substitution of such Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the Company reasonably believes the Mortgaged
Property (or underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) may be contaminated with
or affected by hazardous wastes or hazardous substances (and the Company supplies the Purchaser
with information supporting such belief). The Company will repurchase or substitute a Mortgage
Loan pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) within the time period specified in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. Any foreclosure that has been initiated may be discontinued (i) without
notice to the Purchaser if the Mortgage Loan has been brought current or if a refinancing or
prepayment occurs with respect to the Mortgage Loan (including by means of a short payoff approved
by the Company), or (ii) with notice to the Purchaser if the Company has reached the terms of a
forbearance agreement unless instructed otherwise by the Purchaser within two Business Days of
notification.
4. Upon the occurrence of a liquidation with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the
Purchaser made an Election to Foreclose and as to which the Company proceeded with the Commencement
of Foreclosure in accordance with subsection (c) above, the Company shall calculate the amount, if
any, by which the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan at the time of liquidation (plus all
unreimbursed Advances and Liquidation Expenses in connection therewith other than those paid from
the Collateral Fund) exceeds the actual sales price obtained for the related Mortgaged Property (or
stock allocated to a dwelling unit in the case of a Co-op Loan), and the Company shall withdraw the
amount of such excess from the Collateral Fund, shall remit the same to the Trust Fund and in its
capacity as Servicer shall apply such amount as additional Liquidation Proceeds pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. After making such withdrawal, all amounts remaining in the
Collateral Fund (after adjustment for all withdrawals and deposits pursuant to subsection (c)) in
respect of such Mortgage Loan shall be released to the Purchaser.
Section 2.04 Termination.
1. With respect to all Mortgage Loans included in the Trust Fund, the Purchaser’s rights to
make any Election to Delay Foreclosure or any Election to Foreclose and the Company’s obligations
under Section 2.01 shall terminate (i) at such time as the Outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class B-5 Certificates has been reduced to zero, (ii) if the greater of (x) ___% (or

with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the related pool) of the aggregate principal balance of all
Mortgage Loans that are in foreclosure or are more than 90 days delinquent on a contractual basis
and REO properties or if the aggregate amount that the Company estimates will be required to be
withdrawn from the Collateral Fund with respect to Mortgage Loans as to which the Purchaser has
made an Election to Delay Foreclosure or an Election to Foreclose exceeds (z) the Outstanding
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-5 Certificates, or (iii) upon any transfer by the
Purchaser of any interest (other than the minority interest therein, but only if the transferee
provides written acknowledgment to the Company of the Purchaser’s right hereunder and that such
transferee will have no rights hereunder) in the Class B-5 Certificates (whether or not such
transfer is registered under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), including any such transfer in
connection with a termination of the Trust Fund. Except as set forth above, this Agreement and the
respective rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Purchaser and the Company hereunder
shall terminate upon the later to occur of (i) the final liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan as

3. Neither the Servicer nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be under
any liability for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall
not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed
by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by
reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent thereof may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie

Chase Bank, N.A., as Servicer, for the benefit of registered holders of Chase Mortgage Finance
Trust Series 2007-1, Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Class B-5.” Amounts in the
Collateral Fund shall continue to be the property of the Purchaser, subject to the first priority
security interest granted hereunder for the benefit of the Certificate holders, until withdrawn

2. Upon the termination of this Agreement and the liquidation of all Mortgage Loans as to
which the Purchaser has made any Election to Delay Foreclosure or any Election to Foreclose

remaining in the Collateral Fund together with any investment earnings thereon.
3. The Collateral Fund shall be an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of the REMIC
Provisions, beneficially owned by the Purchaser, who shall report all income, gain or loss with
respect thereto. Any amounts transferred from the Trust Fund to the Collateral Fund shall be
deemed to be transferred to the Purchaser, as beneficial owner of the Collateral Fund. In no event
shall the Purchaser (i) take or cause the Trustee or the Company to take any action that could
cause any REMIC established under the Trust Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the
imposition on any such REMIC of any “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” taxes or
(ii) cause the Trustee or the Company to fail to take any action necessary to maintain the status
of any such REMIC as a REMIC.
Section 3.02. Collateral Fund Permitted Investments.
1. The Company shall, at the written direction of the Purchaser invest the funds in the
Collateral Fund in Collateral Fund Permitted Investments. Such direction shall not be changed more
frequently than quarterly. In the absence of any direction, the Company shall select such
investments in accordance with the definition of Collateral Fund Permitted Investments in its
discretion.
2. All income and gain realized from any investment as well as any interest earned on deposits
in the Collateral Fund (net of any losses on such investments) and any payments of principal made
in respect of any Collateral Fund Permitted Investment shall be deposited in the Collateral Fund
upon receipt. All costs and realized losses associated with the purchase and sale of Collateral
Fund Permitted Investments shall be borne by the Purchaser and the amount of net realized losses
shall be deposited by the Purchaser in the Collateral Fund. The Company shall periodically (but
not more frequently than monthly) distribute to the Purchaser upon request an amount of cash, to
the extent cash is
J-7
available therefor in the Collateral Fund, equal to the amount by which the balance of the
Collateral Fund, after giving effect to all other distributions to be made from the Collateral Fund
on such date, exceeds the Required Collateral Fund Balance. Any amounts so distributed shall be
released from the lien and security interest of this Agreement.
Section 3.03 Grant of Security Interest.
1. The Purchaser grants to the Company and the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders a security interest in and lien on all of the Purchaser’s right, title and
interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to: (1) the Collateral Fund, (2) all
amounts deposited in the Collateral Fund and Collateral Fund Permitted Investments in which such
amounts are invested (and the distributions and proceeds of such investments) and (3) all cash and
non-cash proceeds of any of the foregoing, including proceeds of the voluntary or involuntary
conversion thereof (all of the foregoing collectively, the “Collateral”).

benefit of the Certificateholders. The Purchaser shall take all actions requested by the Company
or the Trustee as may be reasonably necessary to perfect the security interest created under this
Agreement in the Collateral and cause it to be prior to all other security interests and liens,

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We propose to purchase Chase Mortgage Finance Corporation’s Chase Mortgage Finance Trust
Series 2007-S6, Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Class A-R, described in the
Prospectus Supplement, dated November 27, 2007 and Prospectus, dated November 27, 2007.
1. We certify that (a) we are not a disqualified organization, (b) we are not purchasing such
Class A-R Certificate on behalf of a disqualified organization and (c) we are not an entity that
holds such Class A-R Certificate as nominee to facilitate the clearance and settlement of such
securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of participating organizations; for
this purpose the term “disqualified organization” means the United States, any state or political
subdivision thereof, any foreign government, any international organization, any agency or
instrumentality of any of the foregoing (except any entity treated as other than an instrumentality
of the foregoing for purposes of Section 168(h)(2)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”)), any organization (other than a cooperative described in Section 521 of the
Code) that is exempt from taxation under the Code (unless such organization is subject to tax on
excess inclusions) and any organization that is described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code. We
understand that any breach by us of this certification may cause us to be liable for an excise tax
imposed upon transfers to disqualified organizations.
2. We certify that we are not an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), a plan subject to Section 4975 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or a plan or arrangement subject to any
provisions under any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are
substantively similar to the
K-1
foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, a “Plan”), and are not directly or
indirectly acquiring the Class A-R Certificate for, on behalf of or with any assets of any such
Plan.
3. We certify that (a) we have historically paid our debts as they became due, (b) we intend,
and believe that we will be able, to continue to pay our debts as they become due in the future,
(c) we understand that, as beneficial owner of the Class A-R Certificate, we may incur tax
liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class A-R Certificate, (d) we intend to
pay any taxes associated with holding the Class A-R Certificate as they become due and (e) we will
not cause income from the Class A-R Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent
establishment or fixed base (within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of ours or
another U.S. taxpayer.
4. We acknowledge that we will be the beneficial owner of the Class A-R Certificate and:*/
|
|
|
The Class A-R Certificate will be registered in our name. |
|
|
|
|
The Class A-R Certificate will be held in the name of our nominee,
, which is not a disqualified organization. |
5. Unless Chase Mortgage Finance Corporation (“CMFC”) has consented to the transfer to us by
executing the form of Consent affixed hereto as Appendix B, we certify that we are a U.S. person;
for this purpose the term “U.S. Person” means a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation or partnership (unless, in the case of a partnership, Treasury regulations are adopted
that provide otherwise) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state
thereof or the District of Columbia, including an entity treated as a corporation or partnership
for federal income tax purposes, an estate whose income is subject to Unites States federal income
tax regardless of its source, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise
primary supervision over the administration of such trust, and one or more such U.S. Persons have
the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust, (or, to the extent provided in
applicable Treasury regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 which are eligible
to elect to be treated as U.S. Persons). We agree that any breach by us of this certification
shall render the transfer of any interest in the Class A-R Certificate to us absolutely null and
void and shall cause no rights in the Class A-R Certificate to vest in us.
6. We agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to transfer any interest in the
Class A-R Certificate, we will transfer such interest in the Class A-R Certificate only (a) to a
transferee that (i) is not a disqualified organization and is not purchasing such interest in the
Class A-R Certificate on behalf of a disqualified organization, (ii) is a U.S. person and (iii) has
delivered to CMFC a letter in the form of this letter (including the affidavit appended hereto)
and, if requested by CMFC, an opinion of counsel (in a form acceptable to CMFC) that the proposed
transfer will not cause the interest in the Class A-R Certificate to be held by a disqualified
organization or a person who is not a U.S. person or (b) with the written consent of CMFC.
7. We hereby designate JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as our fiduciary to act as the tax matters
person for the Series 2007-S6 REMICs.
Very truly yours,
[PURCHASER]

Reference is made to each pooling and servicing agreement listed on Exhibit A hereto (each, an
“Agreement”) in which The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. has been appointed the paying agent
(the “Paying Agent”). I, [ ], an [ ] of the Paying Agent, hereby certify to Chase
Mortgage Finance Corporation (the “Depositor”), and its officers, directors and affiliates, and
with the knowledge and intent that they will rely upon this certification that:
1. The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. has served as Paying agent for the Depositor
during the period of time from [ ] through [ ] and the following certifications and
statements of the Paying Agent set forth below relate solely to that period of time and for
no other periods.
2. I have reviewed (i) the annual report on Form 10-K (including the exhibits provided by
the Depositor to the Paying Agent for attachment thereto) for the fiscal year [ ] (the
“Annual Report”), (ii) all reports on Form 10-D containing distribution reports filed in
respect of periods included in the year covered by that annual report, relating to each of
the trusts created pursuant to each Agreement and (iii) all reports on Form 8-K (if any)
containing information provided by the Paying Agent, required to be filed in respect of the
period covered by the Annual Report (collectively with the related reports on Form 10-D and
Form 8-K (if any), the “Reports”);
3. Based on my knowledge, the information included in the Reports, taken as a whole, does
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required by the respective pooling and servicing agreement to be included therein and
necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such
statements were made, not misleading as of the last day of the period covered by the
Reports; and
4. In compiling the distribution information, the Paying Agent has relied upon information
furnished to it by the Servicer under each pooling and servicing agreement. The Paying
Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any inaccuracy in such reports resulting
from information so provided by the Servicer.
