Depositor cannot deliver the Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage or assumption,
consolidation or modification, as the case may be, with evidence of recording
thereon, if applicable, 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, as the case may be, has been delivered for recordation, the
Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian
written notice stating that such Mortgage or assumption, consolidation or
modification, 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 or the Custodian such Mortgage, Assignments
of Mortgage or assumption, consolidation or modification, as the case may be,
with evidence of recording indicated thereon, if applicable, upon receipt
thereof from the public recording office. To the extent any required endorsement
is not contained on a Mortgage Note or an Assignment of Mortgage, the Depositor
shall make or cause such endorsement to be made.
64
With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not a Co-op Loan, none of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall be obligated to cause to be
recorded the Assignment of Mortgage referred to in this Section 2.01. With
respect to any Co-op Loan, none of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee
shall be obligated to cause to be filed the Form UCC-3 referred to in this
Section 2.01. In the event that any Assignment of Mortgage referred to in this
Section 2.01 is not recorded or is improperly recorded, the Servicer and the
Trustee shall have no liability for any failure to receive or act on notices
related to such Assignment of Mortgage.
The ownership of each Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the contents of the
related Mortgage File is vested in the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. None of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall
take any action inconsistent with such ownership and shall not claim any
ownership interest therein. The Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee 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 or the Custodian are and shall be held in trust by the
Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee as the owner thereof, and the
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 is in a custodial capacity only. The Depositor agrees
to take no action inconsistent with the Trustee's ownership of the Mortgage
Loans, to indicate promptly to all inquiring parties that the Mortgage Loans
have been sold and to claim no ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans.
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 Sponsor 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 Sponsor 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
Sponsor 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 for
the benefit of the Certificateholders its rights and interests under the Sale
Agreement, including the Depositor's right, title and interest in the
representations and warranties contained in the Sale Agreement, the rights in
the Transfer Agreement described therein and the benefit of the repurchase
obligations and the obligation of the Sponsor 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 Trustee hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be entitled to exercise
all rights of the Depositor under the Sale Agreement as if, for such purpose, it
were the Depositor. The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over, deposit
and conveyance does not and is not intended to result in creation or assumption
by the Trustee of any
65
obligation of the Depositor, the Sponsor, or any other Person in connection with
the Mortgage Loans or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto except
as specifically set forth herein.
SECTION 2.02. Acceptance by the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.
Except as set forth in the exception report delivered contemporaneously
herewith (the "Exception Report"), the Trustee acknowledges receipt 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 it (or the
Custodian) holds and will hold 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 Sponsor to repurchase any Mortgage Loan to which a material 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 acknowledges receipt of the three Cap Contracts (forms of which
are attached hereto as Exhibits N-1, N-2 and N-3), the Transfer Agreement, the
Bring Down Letter and the Sale Agreement.
The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the Swap Agreement (a form of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit S) that will be held in the Supplemental Interest
Trust and is hereby instructed to enter into the Swap Agreement, not in its
individual capacity, but solely as Trustee for the Supplemental Interest Trust.
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders and the NIMs
Insurer, to review or cause its Custodian to review each Mortgage File delivered
to it within 60 days after the Closing Date to ascertain and to certify, within
70 days of the Closing Date, to the NIMs Insurer, the Depositor and the Servicer
that all documents required by Section 2.01 (provided that with respect to the
items listed in Sections 2.01(i)(F) and 2.01(ii)(E)-(K), to the extent
identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) have been executed and received, and
that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B that
have been conveyed to it. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such
review, the Trustee shall not be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review
or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to
determine that they are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented
purpose, that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what
they purport to be on their face. If the Trustee or the Custodian 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 Trustee or the Custodian shall promptly (and in any event within no
more than five Business Days) after such finding so notify the NIMs Insurer, the
Servicer, the Sponsor and the Depositor. In addition, the Trustee or the
Custodian shall also notify the NIMs Insurer, the Servicer, the Sponsor and the
Depositor if the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon with
respect to a Mortgage Loan is not received within 70 days of the Closing Date;
if it has not been received 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 Trustee written notice stating
that such Mortgage has been delivered to the appropriate public recording office
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 Trustee shall request that the Sponsor
correct or cure such omission, defect or other irregularity, or substitute a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03, within 90 days from
the date the Sponsor was notified of such omission or defect and, if the Sponsor
does not correct or cure such omission or defect within such period, that the
Sponsor purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund within 90 days from the
date the Trustee notified the Sponsor of such omission, defect or other
irregularity at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan.
66
The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased pursuant to this Section
2.02 shall be paid to the Servicer and deposited by the Servicer in the
Certificate Account or Collection Account, as appropriate, promptly upon
receipt, and, upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such
deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee, upon receipt of a Request
for Release, shall promptly release to the Sponsor the related Mortgage File and
the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, without recourse, as shall be requested by the Sponsor and necessary
to vest in the Sponsor 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 Sponsor 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 and the NIMs Insurer. The preceding
sentence shall not, however, limit any remedies available to the
Certificateholders, the NIMs Insurer, the Depositor or the Trustee pursuant to
the Sale Agreement, the Transfer Agreement and the Bring Down Letter.
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, recordable, duly authorized, sufficient,
legal, valid 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 Servicer and the Trustee shall keep confidential the name of
each Mortgagor except as required by this Agreement and the Servicer and the
Trustee shall not solicit any such Mortgagor for the purpose of refinancing the
related Mortgage Loan; notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all
information that is or becomes publicly known, or information obtained by the
Trustee or the Servicer from sources other than the other parties hereto, (ii)
disclosure of any and all information (A) if required by any applicable law,
rule or regulation, (B) to any government agency or regulatory body having or
claiming authority to regulate or oversee any aspects of the Trustee's business
or that of its affiliates, (C) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigation
demand or similar demand or request of any court, regulatory authority,
arbitrator or arbitration to which Trustee or any affiliate or an officer,
director, employer or shareholder thereof is a party or (D) to any affiliate,
independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Trustee or
the Servicer having a need to know the same, provided that the Trustee or the
Servicer, as applicable, advises such recipient of the confidential nature of
the information being disclosed, or (iii) any other disclosure authorized by the
Depositor. It is understood and agreed that all rights and benefits relating to
the solicitation of any Mortgagors and the attendant rights, title and interest
in and to the list of Mortgagors and data relating to the Mortgages shall be
retained by the Servicer.
Within 70 days of the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian shall
deliver to the NIMs Insurer, the Depositor and the Servicer, the Trustee's
Certification, substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto,
evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any exceptions noted
thereto.
SECTION 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Depositor.
(a) The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Servicer, the
NIMs Insurer and the Trustee as follows, as of the date hereof:
(i) The Depositor is duly organized and is validly existing as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and
has full power and authority (corporate and other) necessary to own or hold
its properties and to conduct its business as now conducted by it and to
enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Sale
Agreement.
67
(ii) The Depositor has the full corporate power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform, and to enter into and consummate the
transactions contemplated by, this Agreement and the Sale Agreement and has
duly authorized, by all necessary corporate action on its part, the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Sale
Agreement; and this Agreement and the Sale Agreement, assuming the due
authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other parties hereto,
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor,
enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with its terms, subject, as
to enforceability, to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and
(ii) general principles of equity, regardless of whether enforcement is
sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Sale
Agreement by the Depositor, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Sale Agreement, and the fulfillment
of or compliance with the terms hereof are in the ordinary course of
business of the Depositor and will not (A) result in a material breach of
any term or provision of the charter or by-laws of the Depositor or (B)
materially conflict with, result in a violation or acceleration of, or
result in a material default under, the terms of any other material
agreement or instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it
may be bound or (C) constitute a material violation of any statute, order
or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the
Depositor; and the Depositor is not in breach or violation of any material
indenture or other material agreement or instrument, or in violation of any
statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative
agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it which breach or
violation may materially impair the Depositor's ability to perform or meet
any of its obligations under this Agreement.
(iv) No litigation is pending, or, to the best of the Depositor's
knowledge, threatened, against the Depositor that would materially and
adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this
Agreement and the Sale Agreement or the ability of the Depositor to perform
its obligations under this Agreement and the Sale Agreement in accordance
with the terms hereof.
(v) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and
performance by the Depositor of, or compliance by the Depositor with, this
Agreement and the Sale Agreement or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, or if any such consent, approval, authorization or
order is required, the Depositor has obtained the same. The Depositor
hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to each Mortgage
Loan as of the Closing Date and following the transfer of the Mortgage
Loans to it by the Sponsor, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage
Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets, claims, liens,
mortgage, pledge, charge, security interest, defenses or counterclaims.
(b) The representations and warranties of the Transferor with respect
to the Mortgage Loans contained in the Transfer Agreement were made as of the
date of the Transfer Agreement and brought forward to the Closing Date pursuant
to the Bring Down Letter. The representations and warranties of the Transferor
with respect to the Mortgage Loans contained in the Bring Down Letter were made
as of the Closing Date. The representations and warranties of the Sponsor with
respect to the Mortgage Loans contained in the Sale Agreement were made as of
the Closing Date.
68
To the extent that any fact, condition or event with respect to a Mortgage
Loan constitutes a breach of a representation or warranty of the Transferor
under the Transfer Agreement (whether or not such fact, condition or event would
also constitute a breach of a representation or warranty of the Sponsor under
the Sale Agreement), the only rights or remedies of the Trustee, the NIMs
Insurer or of any Certificateholder shall be first, the Trustee's right to
enforce the obligations of the Transferor under such applicable representation
or warranty made by it and, second, only if the Transferor is unable or
unwilling to fulfill its obligations to cure or repurchase such Mortgage Loan,
the Trustee shall exercise its right to enforce any rights it may have against
the Sponsor under the Sale Agreement with respect to such representation or
warranty; provided, that in the event the Trustee shall have received a copy of
any Transferor Affirmation Notice, the Trustee shall only be entitled to enforce
any rights it has against the Transferor under the Transfer Agreement and shall
not have any rights against the Sponsor under the Sale Agreement with respect to
such representation or warranty. To the extent that any fact, condition or event
with respect to a Mortgage Loan constitutes a breach of a representation or
warranty made by the Sponsor in the Sale Agreement that does not also constitute
a breach of a representation or warranty of the Transferor under the Transfer
Agreement, the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to enforce any rights it may
have against the Sponsor under the Sale Agreement. In furtherance of the above,
the Sponsor expressly acknowledges that prior to the issuance of a Transferor
Affirmation Notice, it shall be obligated and liable to the Trustee, the NIMs
Insurer and the Certificateholders for any breach of a representation or
warranty made under the Transfer Agreement, but only after the Transferor
evidences that it is unwilling or unable to fulfill its contractual obligations
under the Transfer Agreement. The Trustee acknowledges that the Depositor shall
have no obligation or liability with respect to any breach of any representation
or warranty with respect to the Mortgage Loans (except as set forth in Section
2.03(a)(v)) under any circumstances.
In addition to the representations and warranties of the Transferor in the
Transfer Agreement that were brought forward to the Closing Date pursuant to the
Bring Down Letter, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Transferor made
certain additional covenants regarding such Mortgage Loan, as set forth in the
Transfer Agreement. With respect to any breach of such additional covenants that
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in such
Mortgage Loan, the Sponsor shall (1) use reasonable efforts to enforce such
covenant against the Transferor and (2) if the Sponsor successfully enforces any
obligation of the Transferor to repurchase such Mortgage Loan, the Sponsor shall
repurchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 2.03. If the
Sponsor does not successfully enforce the obligation, if any, of the Transferor
to repurchase a Mortgage Loan with respect to any breach of any such additional
covenants, the Sponsor shall have no obligation or right to repurchase or cure
such Mortgage Loan.
(c) Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Servicer, the NIMs
Insurer or the Trustee of a breach of any of such representations and warranties
that adversely and materially affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan,
Prepayment Charges or the interests of the Certificateholders, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
Within 90 days of the discovery of such breach of any representation or
warranty, the Transferor or the Sponsor, as applicable, shall either (a) cure
such breach in all material respects, (b) repurchase such Mortgage Loan or any
property acquired in respect thereof from the Trustee at the Purchase Price or
(c) within the two year period following the Closing Date, substitute a
Replacement Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan. In the event of
discovery of a breach of any representation and warranty of the Transferor or
the Sponsor, the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to enforce its rights
under the Transfer Agreement or the Sale Agreement for the benefit of
Certificateholders and the NIMs Insurer. If a breach of the representations and
warranties set forth in the Transfer Agreement exists solely due to the
unenforceability of a Prepayment Charge, the Trustee shall notify the NIMs
Insurer thereof and not seek to enforce the repurchase remedy provided for
herein unless directed in writing to do so by the NIMs Insurer. In the event of
a breach of the representations and warranties with respect to the Mortgage
Loans set forth in
69
the Transfer Agreement, the Trustee shall, at the request of the NIMs Insurer,
use reasonable efforts to enforce the right of the Trust Fund and the NIMs
Insurer to be indemnified for such breach of representation and warranty. In the
event that such breach relates solely to the unenforceability of a Prepayment
Charge, amounts received in respect of such indemnity up to the amount of such
Prepayment Charge shall be distributed pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i). As
provided in the Sale Agreement, if the Transferor substitutes for a Mortgage
Loan for which there is a breach of any representations and warranties in the
Transfer Agreement which adversely and materially affects the value of such
Mortgage Loan and such substitute mortgage loan is not a Replacement Mortgage
Loan, under the terms of the Sale Agreement, the Sponsor will, in exchange for
such substitute Mortgage Loan, (i) provide the applicable Purchase Price for the
affected Mortgage Loan or (ii) within two years of the Closing Date, substitute
such affected Mortgage Loan with a Replacement Mortgage Loan. Any such
substitution shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the
Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit I and
shall not be effected unless it is within two years of the Startup Day. As
provided in the Sale Agreement, the Sponsor indemnifies and holds the Trust
Fund, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Depositor, the NIMs Insurer, the Servicer
and each Certificateholder harmless against any and all taxes, claims, losses,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trust Fund, the
Trustee, the Custodian, the Depositor, the NIMs Insurer, the Servicer and any
Certificateholder may sustain in connection with any actions of the Sponsor
relating to a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan other than in compliance with the
terms of this Section 2.03 and the Sale Agreement, to the extent that any such
action causes (i) any federal or state tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund or
any REMIC provided for herein, including without limitation, any federal tax
imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on
"contributions after the startup day" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or
(ii) any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Certificate is outstanding. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the Sponsor
is not a member of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is registered on
the MERS System, the Sponsor, at its own expense and without any right of
reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the
Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Sponsor
and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS System
in accordance with MERS' rules and regulations.
With respect to any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Depositor pursuant to
this Agreement, by the Sponsor pursuant to the Sale Agreement or by the
Transferor pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the principal portion of the
funds received by the Servicer in respect of such repurchase of a Mortgage Loan
will be considered a Principal Prepayment and shall be deposited by the Servicer
in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 and the Servicer shall notify
the Trustee of its receipt of the same. The Trustee, upon receipt of notice from
the Servicer of its receipt of the full amount of the Purchase Price for a
Deleted Mortgage Loan, or upon receipt of the Mortgage File for a Replacement
Mortgage Loan substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, shall release or cause to
be released and reassign to the Depositor, the Sponsor or the Transferor, as
applicable, the related Mortgage File for the Deleted Mortgage Loan and shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in
such party or its designee or assignee title to any Deleted Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto, free and clear of all security interests, liens and
other encumbrances created by this Agreement, which instruments shall be
prepared by the Depositor or the Sponsor, and the Trustee shall not have any
further responsibility with respect to the Mortgage File relating to such
Deleted Mortgage Loan.
With respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan to be delivered to the
Trustee or the Custodian pursuant to the terms of this Article II in exchange
for a Deleted Mortgage Loan: (i) the Depositor, the Transferor or the Sponsor,
as applicable, must deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian the Mortgage File
for the Replacement Mortgage Loan containing the documents set forth in Section
2.01 along with a written certification certifying as to the delivery of such
Mortgage File and containing the granting
70
language set forth in Section 2.01; and (ii) the Depositor will be deemed to
have made, with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loan, each of the
representations and warranties made by it with respect to the related Deleted
Mortgage Loan. The Trustee or the Custodian shall review the Mortgage File with
respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan and certify to the NIMs Insurer and
the Depositor that all documents required by Section 2.01 have been executed and
received.
For any month in which the Sponsor substitutes one or more Replacement
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Sponsor will
determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all
such Replacement Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution and the aggregate
Prepayment Charges with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loans is less than
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance (after application of the principal
portion of the Scheduled Payment due in the month of substitution) and aggregate
Prepayment Charges of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans. An amount equal to the
aggregate of the deficiencies described in the preceding sentence (such amount,
the "Substitution Adjustment Amount") plus an amount equal to any unreimbursed
costs, penalties and/or damages incurred by the Trust Fund in connection with
any violation relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan of any predatory or abusive
lending law shall be remitted by the Sponsor to the Servicer for deposit into
the Collection Account on the Determination Date for the Distribution Date
relating to the Prepayment Period during which the related Mortgage Loan became
required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right to
substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Article II shall be subject to the
additional limitations that no substitution of a Replacement Mortgage Loan for a
Deleted Mortgage Loan shall be made unless the Trustee and the NIMs Insurer
shall each have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party
seeking to make the substitution) that, under current law, such substitution
will not (A) affect adversely the status of any REMIC established hereunder as a
REMIC, or of the related "regular interests" as "regular interests" in any such
REMIC, or (B) cause any such REMIC to engage in a "prohibited transaction" or
prohibited contribution pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
The Sponsor shall cause the Mortgage Loan Schedule to be amended in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
The Sponsor shall give or cause to be given written notice to the
Certificateholders and the NIMs Insurer that such substitution has taken place,
shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the
Replacement Mortgage Loan or Replacement Mortgage Loans and shall deliver a copy
of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the NIMs Insurer, the Servicer, and
the Trustee. Upon such substitution by the Sponsor, such Replacement Mortgage
Loan or Replacement Mortgage Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool
and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Sale
Agreement, including all applicable representations and warranties thereof

(ii) The Servicer has the corporate power and authority to
service each Mortgage Loan, and to execute, deliver and perform, and to enter
into and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Servicer the

generally and (b) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other
forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the
discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.
(iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Servicer, the servicing of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement, the
consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms hereof are in the ordinary
course of business of the Servicer and will not (A) result in a material breach
of any term or provision of the charter or by-laws of the Servicer or (B)

statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative
agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it which breach or
violation may materially impair the Servicer's ability to perform or meet any of
its obligations under this Agreement.
(iv) The Servicer is an approved servicer of mortgage loans for
Xxxxxx Xxx and is an approved servicer of mortgage loans for Xxxxxxx Mac.
(v) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Servicer's
knowledge, threatened, against the Servicer that would materially and adversely

in accordance with the terms hereof.
(vi) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or

obtained the same.
(vii) The Servicer has fully furnished and will fully furnish
(for the period it serviced the Mortgage Loans), in accordance with the Fair
Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete
information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to
Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company on a monthly basis.
(viii) Notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary,
the Servicer shall not impose or collect a Prepayment Charge in any instance
when the mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of the Mortgagor's default
in making the Mortgage Loan payments.
SECTION 2.05. Substitutions and Repurchases of Mortgage Loans that are not
"Qualified Mortgages."
Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee that any
Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of
section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall promptly
(and in any event within 5 Business Days of discovery) give written notice
thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Depositor shall, at
the Depositor's option, either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section
2.03(c) with respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Replacement Mortgage Loan
for the affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan
within 90 days of such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan
for a breach of representation or warranty contained in Section 2.03. The
Trustee, upon the written request of the Depositor, shall reconvey to the
Depositor the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner,
and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased
for breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 2.03.
SECTION 2.06. Authentication and Delivery of Certificates.
The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust
Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, the Trustee has caused
to be authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, in
exchange for the Mortgage Loans, Certificates duly authenticated by the
Authenticating Agent in authorized denominations evidencing ownership of the
entire Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the
rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and future Holders of
the Certificates and to perform its duties set forth in this Agreement in
accordance with the provisions hereof.
SECTION 2.07. REMIC Elections.
(a) The Depositor hereby instructs and authorizes the Trustee to make
an appropriate election to treat each of the Upper Tier REMIC, the Lower Tier
REMIC and the SWAP REMIC as a REMIC. The Trustee shall sign the returns
providing for such elections and such other tax or information returns that are
required to be signed by the Trustee under applicable law. This Agreement shall
be construed so as to carry out the intention of the parties that each of the
Upper Tier REMIC, the
73
Lower Tier REMIC and the SWAP REMIC be treated as a REMIC at all times prior to
the date on which the Trust Fund is terminated.
(b) The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations and "latest
possible maturity date" for federal income tax purposes of all interests created
hereby. The "Startup Day" for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the
Closing Date. Each REMIC's fiscal year shall be the calendar year.
The SWAP REMIC shall consist of all of the assets of the Trust Fund,
other than (i) amounts distributable to the Class P Certificates pursuant to
Section 4.04(b)(i) hereof, (ii) the interests issued by the SWAP REMIC and the
interests issued by the Lower Tier REMIC, (iii) the grantor trusts described in
Section 2.07 hereof, (iv) each Cap Contract and the Cap Contract Account and (v)
the Swap Agreement and the Supplemental Interest Trust. The SWAP REMIC shall
issue the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests, which shall be designated as regular
interests of such REMIC, and shall issue the Class SWR Interest, which shall be
designated as the sole class of residual interest in the SWAP REMIC. Each of the
SWAP REMIC Regular Interests shall have the characteristics set forth in the
Preliminary Statement and this Section 2.07.
The Lower Tier REMIC shall consist of the SWAP REMIC Regular
Interests. The Lower Tier REMIC shall issue the Lower Tier REMIC Regular
Interests, which shall be designated as regular interests of such REMIC and
shall issue the Class LTR Interest, which shall be designated as the sole class
of residual interest in the Lower Tier REMIC. Each of the Lower Tier REMIC
Regular Interests shall have the characteristics set forth in its definition and
the Preliminary Statement.
The assets of the Upper Tier REMIC shall be the Lower Tier REMIC
Regular Interests. The REMIC Regular Interests shall be designated as the
regular interests in the Upper Tier REMIC and the Residual Interest shall be
designated as the sole class of residual interest in the Upper Tier REMIC. For
federal income tax purposes, the pass-through rate on each REMIC Regular
Interest (other than the Uncertificated Class C Interest and the Class UT-IO
Interest) and on the sole class of residual interest in the Upper Tier REMIC
shall be subject to a cap equal to the Upper Tier REMIC Net WAC Cap.
The beneficial ownership of the Class SWR Interest, Class LTR Interest
and the Residual Interest shall be represented by the Class R Certificate. The
Class SWR Interest and Class LTR Interest shall not have a principal balance or
bear interest.
(c) The "tax matters person" with respect to each REMIC for purposes
of the REMIC Provisions shall be the beneficial owner of the Class R
Certificate; provided, however, that the Holder of the Class R Certificate, by
its acceptance thereof, irrevocably appoints the Trustee as its agent and
attorney-in-fact to act as "tax matters person" with respect to each such REMIC
for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. If there is more than one beneficial owner
of the Class R Certificate, the "tax matters person" shall be the Person with
the greatest percentage interest in the Class R Certificate and, if there is
more than one such Person, shall be determined under Treasury regulation Section
1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulation Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1.
(d) (i) It is intended that the rights of each Class of the Class A,
Class M and Class B Certificates to receive payments in respect of Excess
Interest shall be treated as a right in interest rate cap contracts written by
the Class C Certificateholders in favor of the holders of each Class of the
Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates and such shall be accounted for as
property held separate and apart from the regular interests in the Upper Tier
REMIC held by the holders of the Class A (other than the Class R Certificate),
Class M and Class B Certificates, and the residual interest in the Upper Tier
REMIC
74
held by the holder of the Class R Certificate. For information reporting
requirements, the rights of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates to
receive payments in respect of Excess Interest shall be assumed to have zero or
a de minimis value. This provision is intended to satisfy the requirements of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(i) for the treatment of property rights
coupled with REMIC interests to be separately respected and shall be interpreted
consistently with such regulation. On each Distribution Date, to the extent that
any of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates receive payments in respect
of Excess Interest, such amounts, to the extent not derived from payments on the
Cap Contracts or the Swap Agreement, will be treated as distributed by the Upper
Tier REMIC to the Class C Certificates pro rata in payment of the amounts
specified in Section 4.04(g) and then paid to the relevant Class of Certificates
pursuant to the related interest rate cap agreement.
(ii) It is intended that the beneficial owners of the Certificates
(other than the Class P and Class C Certificates) shall be treated as having
entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the beneficial owners
of the Class C Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract,
all beneficial owners of each Class of Certificates (other than the Class P and
Class C Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each
Distribution Date, to the beneficial owners of the Class C Certificates an
aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such
Distribution Date on the Corresponding REMIC Regular Interest of such Class of
Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such
Distribution Date (such excess, a "Class Payment Shortfall"). A Class Payment
Shortfall shall be allocated to each Class of Certificates to the extent that
interest accrued on such Class for the related Accrual Period at the
Pass-Through Rate for a Class, computed by substituting "Upper Tier REMIC Net
WAC Cap" for the Available Funds Cap set forth in the definition thereof,
exceeds the amount of interest accrued on such Certificate at the Pass-Through
Rate (without such substitution) for the related Accrual Period, and a Class
Payment Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the
most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to
the extent of such balance.
(e) The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting
of the Uncertificated Class C Interest, the uncertificated Class UT-IO Interest,
the rights to receive payments deemed made by the Class A, Class M and Class B
Certificates in respect of notional principal contracts described in Section
2.07(d)(ii), the Supplemental Interest Trust which holds the Swap Agreement, the
Cap Contracts, the Cap Contract Account and the obligation of the holders of the
Class C Certificates to pay amounts in respect of Excess Interest to the holders
of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates shall be treated as a "grantor
trust" under the Code, for the benefit of the holders of the Class C
Certificates, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with
this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee shall (i) furnish
or cause to be furnished to the holders of the Class C Certificates information
regarding their allocable share, if any, of the income with respect to such
grantor trust, (ii) file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service
Form 1041 (together with any necessary attachments) and such other forms as may
be applicable and (iii) comply with such information reporting obligations with
respect to payments from such grantor trust to the holders of Class A, Class M,
Class B and Class C Certificates as may be applicable under the Code.
(f) The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting
of the right to receive amounts distributable to the Class P Certificates
pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) hereof shall be treated as a "grantor trust"
under the Code, for the benefit of the holders of the Class P Certificates, and
the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In
furtherance of such intention, the Trustee shall (i) furnish or cause to be
furnished to the holders of the Class P Certificates information regarding their
allocable share of the income with respect to such grantor trust and (ii) file
or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 (together with
any necessary attachments) and such other forms as may be applicable.
75
(g) The parties intend that amounts paid to the Swap Counterparty
under the Swap Agreement shall be deemed for federal income tax purposes to be
paid by the Class C Certificates first, out of funds deemed received in respect
of the Class UT-IO Interest, second, out of funds deemed received in respect of
the Uncertificated Class C Interest and third, out of funds deemed received in
respect of notional principal contracts described in Section 2.07(d)(ii), and
the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. On
each Distribution Date, to the extent that amounts paid to the Swap Counterparty
are deemed paid out of funds received in respect of the Uncertificated Class C
Interest, such amounts will be treated as distributed by the Upper Tier REMIC to
the Class C Certificates pro rata in payment of the amounts specified in Section
4.04(g) and then paid to the Swap Counterparty pursuant to the Swap Agreement.
The Supplemental Interest Trust shall be an "outside reserve fund" for
federal income tax purposes and not an asset of any REMIC. Furthermore, the
Holders of the Class C Certificates shall be the beneficial owners of the
Supplemental Interest Trust for all federal income tax purposes, and shall be
taxable on all income earned thereon.
(h) All payments of principal and interest at the Net Mortgage Rate on
each of the Mortgage Loans (other than amounts distributable to the Class P
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) hereof) received by the SWAP REMIC
with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be paid to the SWAP REMIC Regular
Interests until the principal balance of all such interests have been reduced to
zero and any losses allocated to such interests have been reimbursed. Any
available funds remaining in the SWAP REMIC on a Distribution Date after
distributions to the SWAP REMIC Regular Interests shall be distributed to the
Class R Certificates on account of the Class SWR Interest. On each Distribution
Date, the Trustee shall distribute the aggregate Interest Funds (net of expenses
and payments to the Class P Certificates) with respect to each of the SWAP REMIC
Regular Interests based on the interest rates for each such SWAP REMIC Regular
Interest. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the aggregate
Principal Funds with respect to the Group One Mortgage Loans first to the Class
1-SW1 Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero and then
sequentially to each of the other SWAP REMIC Regular Interests beginning with
designation "1" in ascending order of their numerical class designation, in
equal amounts to each such class in such numerical designation, until the
principal balance of each such class is reduced to zero. All losses with respect
to the Group One Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the SWAP REMIC Regular
Interests beginning with the designation "1" in the same manner that principal
distributions are allocated. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall
distribute the aggregate Principal Funds with respect to the Group Two Mortgage
Loans first to the Class 2-SW2 Interest until its principal balance is reduced
to zero and then sequentially to each of the other SWAP REMIC Regular Interests
beginning with designation "2" in ascending order of their numerical class
designation, in equal amounts to each such class in such numerical designation,
until the principal balance of each such class is reduced to zero. All losses
with respect to the Group Two Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the SWAP
REMIC Regular Interests beginning with the designation "2" in the same manner
that principal distributions are allocated. Subsequent Recoveries with respect
to the Group One and Group Two Mortgage Loans shall be allocated in the reverse
fashion from the manner in which losses are allocated.
All payments received by the Lower Tier REMIC with respect to the SWAP
REMIC Regular Interests shall be paid to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests
until the principal balance of all such interests have been reduced to zero and
any losses allocated to such interests have been reimbursed. Any excess amounts
shall be distributed to the Class LTR Interest. On each Distribution Date,
payments and losses shall be allocated among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular
Interests so that (i) each of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests shall have
a principal balance equal to 25% of the principal balance of the Corresponding
Certificates, (ii) the Class LTIX Interest has a principal balance equal to the
excess of (x) 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans over
(y) the aggregate principal balance of
76
the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests (if necessary to reflect an increase in
overcollateralization, accrued and unpaid interest on the Class LTIX interest
may be added to its principal amount to achieve this result) and (iii) the
aggregate principal amount of the Class LTII1A Interest, Class LTII1B Interest,
Class LTII2A Interest, Class LTII2B Interest and the Class LTIIX Interest shall
equal 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans.
Distributions and losses allocated to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests
described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence will be allocated among such
Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests in the following manner: (x) such
distributions shall be deemed made to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests
first, so as to keep the principal balance of the each such Lower Tier REMIC
Regular Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equal to 0.05% of the
aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related
Mortgage Group and second, to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests with "A"
at the end of its designation so that the uncertificated principal balance of
each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest is equal to 0.05% of the excess of
(I) the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the
related Mortgage Group over (II) the aggregate principal balance of Certificate
Group One, in the case of the Class LTII1A Interest, or Certificate Group Two,
in the case of the Class LTII2A Interest (except that if 0.05% of any such
excess is greater than the principal amount of the related Lower Tier REMIC II
Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation, the least amount of
principal shall be distributed to each Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with
"A" at the end of its designation such that the Lower Tier REMIC Subordinated
Balance Ratio is maintained) and finally, any remaining distributions of
principal to the Class LTIIX Interest and (y) such losses shall be allocated
among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests described in clause (iii) of the
preceding sentence first, so as to keep the principal balance of the each such
Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equal
to 0.05% of the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in
the related Mortgage Group; second, to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests
with "A" at the end of its designation so that the uncertificated principal
balance of each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest is equal to 0.05% of the
excess of (I) the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in
the related Mortgage Group over (II) the aggregate principal balance of
Certificate Group One, in the case of the Class LTII1A Interest, or Certificate
Group Two, in the case of the Class LTII2A Interest (except that if 0.05% of any
such excess is greater than the principal amount of the related Lower Tier REMIC
II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation, the least amount of
losses shall be allocated to each Lower REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the
end of its designation such that the Lower Tier REMIC Subordinated Balance Ratio
is maintained) and finally, any remaining losses to the Class LTIIX Interest.
Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, however, losses not allocated to
any Class of Certificates will not be allocated to any Lower Tier REMIC Regular
Interests. All computations with respect to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular
Interests shall be taken out to ten decimal places.
Any available funds remaining in the Lower Tier REMIC on a
Distribution Date after distributions to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests
shall be distributed to the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LTR
Interest.
If on any Distribution Date the Certificate Principal Balance of any
Class of Certificates is increased pursuant to the last sentence of the
definition of "Certificate Principal Balance", then there shall be an equivalent
increase in the principal amounts of the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests,
with such increase allocated (before the making of distributions and the
allocation of losses on the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests on such
Distribution Date) among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests so that, to the
greatest extent possible, (i) each of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests
has a principal balance equal to 25% of the principal balance of the
Corresponding Certificates, (ii) the Class LTIX Interest has a principal balance
equal to the excess of (x) 50% of the remaining principal balance of the
Mortgage Loans over (y) the aggregate principal balance of the Lower Tier REMIC
I Marker Interests and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Lower Tier
REMIC II Marker Interests and the Class LTIIX Interest shall equal 50% of the
remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans. Allocations in
77
connection with clause (iii) shall be made so that, to the greatest extent
possible, (a) the principal balance of each Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest
with "B" at the end of its designation equals 0.05% of the aggregate scheduled
principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in related Mortgage Group, (b) the
principal balance of each Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the
end of its designation equals 0.05% of the excess of (x) the aggregate scheduled
principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in related Mortgage Group over (y) the
aggregate principal balance of Certificate Group One in the case of the Class
LTII1A Interest, or Certificate Group Two in the case of the Class LTII2A
Interest and (c) any remaining allocations are made to the Class LTIIX Interest.
(i) In the event that any REMIC provided for herein fails to qualify
as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC or incurs federal, state or local taxes
as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the
REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties
and obligations set forth herein, the Servicer shall indemnify the NIMs Insurer,
the Trustee and the Trust Fund against any and all Losses resulting from such
negligence; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any
such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the Depositor
or the Holder of the residual interest in such REMIC, as applicable, nor for any
such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of the residual
interest in such REMIC on which the Servicer has relied. The foregoing shall not
be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of the
residual interest in such REMIC now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Servicer have any
liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in
compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the
terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than those arising out of a
negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth
herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders
(in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).
(j) In the event that any REMIC provided for herein fails to qualify
as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes
as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the
REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties
and obligations set forth herein, the Trustee shall indemnify the NIMs Insurer
and the Trust Fund against any and all Losses resulting from such negligence;
provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be liable for any such Losses
attributable to the action or inaction of the Servicer, the Depositor or the
Holder of the residual interest in such REMIC, as applicable, nor for any such
Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of the residual
interest in such REMIC on which the Trustee has relied. The foregoing shall not
be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of the
residual interest in such REMIC now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Trustee have any
liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in
compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the
terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than those arising out of a
negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth
herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders
(in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).
SECTION 2.08. [RESERVED]
SECTION 2.09. Covenants of the Servicer.
The Servicer hereby covenants to each of the other parties to this
Agreement as follows: (a) the Servicer shall comply in the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of
the insurer under each Required Insurance Policy; and (b) no written
information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished in writing or
written report delivered to the Depositor, the NIMs Insurer or the Trustee, any
affiliate of the Depositor, the NIMs Insurer or the Trustee and prepared
78
by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement is inaccurate in any material
respect, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be responsible for
inaccurate information provided to it by third parties.
SECTION 2.10. [RESERVED]
SECTION 2.11. Permitted Activities of the Trust. The Trust is created for
the object and purpose of engaging in the Permitted Activities. In furtherance
of the foregoing, the Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to execute and
deliver on behalf of the Trust, and to perform the duties and obligations of the
Issuing Entity under, the Cap Contracts, an insurance and indemnity agreement
with a NIMs Insurer and any other agreement or instrument related thereto, in
each case in such form as the Depositor shall direct or shall approve, the
execution and delivery of any such agreement by the Depositor to be conclusive
evidence of its approval thereof.
SECTION 2.12. Qualifying Special Purpose Entity. For purposes of SFAS 140,
the parties hereto intend that the Trust Fund 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 2.11 of this Agreement
shall be limited in accordance with paragraph 35 thereof.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01. Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.
For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Servicer shall service and
administer the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation, any powers of
attorney, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. In connection with
such servicing and administration, the Servicer shall have full power and
authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02
hereof, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may deem necessary
or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration, including but
not limited to, the power and authority, subject to the terms hereof (i) to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee,
customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to
consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property (or the stock allocated to a
dwelling unit related to a Co-op Loan) and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and
related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to
collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds and (iv) subject
to Section 3.12(a), to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the
ownership of the Mortgaged Property (or the stock allocated to a dwelling unit
related to a Co-op Loan) securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that, subject to
Section 6.03, the Servicer shall not take any action that is inconsistent with
or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any
Mortgage Loan serviced by it under this Agreement or the rights and interests of
the other parties to this Agreement except as otherwise required by this
Agreement or by law. The Servicer shall not make or permit any modification,
waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan which would cause any of
the REMICs provided for herein to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the
imposition of any tax under Section 860G(a) or 860G(d) of the Code. The Servicer
shall represent and protect the interest of the Trust Fund in the same manner as
it currently protects its own interest in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in
any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan, but in any case
not in any manner that is a lesser standard than that provided in the first
sentence of this Section 3.01. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee,
is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the
Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any
of them, any and all instruments of
79
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge,
subordinations and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the
Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the
benefit of the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the
Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by
any or all of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to
service and administer the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation, any
powers of attorney. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the
Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them to the Servicer. For
purposes of this Section 3.01, the Trustee hereby grants to the Servicer a
limited power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit P to execute and
file any and all documents necessary to fulfill the obligations of the Servicer
under this Section 3.01.
The Trustee shall deliver powers of attorney in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit P to the Servicer promptly after the Closing Date and additional powers
of attorney promptly after request therefor by the Servicer. The Trustee shall
not be responsible for and the Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for any
misuse by the Servicer of any power of attorney. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the Servicer shall not without the Trustee's
written consent, hire or procure counsel to represent the Trustee without
indicating its representative capacity
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer
shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of
effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties,
which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related
collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further as
provided in Section 3.08. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for
escrow payments, (i) the Servicer shall determine whether any such payments are
made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that is necessary to avoid the
loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or to foreclosure as a result
of a tax lien and (ii) the Servicer shall ensure that all insurance required to
be maintained on the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Agreement is
maintained. If any such payment has not been made and the Servicer receives
notice of a tax lien being imposed with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer will, to the extent required to avoid loss of the Mortgaged Property,
advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge such lien on the
Mortgaged Property.
All costs incurred by the Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payment
of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance
premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the
Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balance under the related
Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
In the event that the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to any Mortgage Loan
contain provisions requiring the related Mortgagor to submit to binding
arbitration any disputes arising in connection with such Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer shall be entitled to waive any such provisions on behalf of the Trust
and to send written notice of such waiver to the related Mortgagor, although the
Mortgagor may still require arbitration of such disputes at its option.
The Servicer shall not be required to make any Servicing Advance with
respect to a Mortgage Loan that is 150 days or more delinquent.
The Servicer shall have at least 30 days' notice of the appointment of a
NIMs Insurer prior to being required to deliver any notices pursuant to this
Agreement to such NIMs Insurer.
The Servicer shall deliver a list of Servicing Officers to the Trustee by
the Closing Date.
80
The Servicer will transmit full-file credit reporting data for each
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Xxxxxx Xxx Guide Announcement 97-02 and for each
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer agrees that it shall report one of the following
statuses each month as follows: current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.),
foreclosed or charged-off.
The Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf
of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the
Subservicer, when the Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, believes
it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS
System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the
MERS System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment,
release and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment,
release or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for
the Trustee and its successors and assigns; provided, however, the Trustee will
not be responsible for monitoring MERS loan activity. Any reasonable expenses
incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence or
as a result of MERS discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in
connection with the MERS System, shall be subject to withdrawal by the Servicer
from the Collection Account (provided that such expenses constitute
"unanticipated expenses" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii)).
With respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer may consent to the
refinancing of the prior senior lien relating to such Mortgage Loan, provided
that the following requirements are met:
(a) the resulting Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan
is no higher than the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio prior to such refinancing;
and
(b) the interest rate for the loan evidencing the refinanced senior
lien is no more than 2.0% higher than the interest rate on the loan evidencing
the existing senior lien immediately prior to the date of such refinancing; and
(c) the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien is not subject to
negative amortization;
provided, however, the above requirements shall not be applicable if the
Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is
reasonably foreseeable.
In connection with any modification pursuant to this Section and to the
extent there are any unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances, the Servicer
shall reimburse itself for such amounts from the Collection Account.
SECTION 3.02. Servicing and Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of
Servicer.
(a) The Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan
by a Subservicer, which may be an affiliate, pursuant to a subservicing
agreement (each, a "Subservicing Agreement"); provided, however, that (i) such
subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related Subservicing Agreement
must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent
with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder, (ii) that such agreement
would not result in a withdrawal or downgrading by any Rating Agency of the
ratings of any Certificates or any of the NIM Notes evidenced by a letter to
that effect delivered by each Rating Agency to the Depositor and the NIMs
Insurer and (iii) the NIMs Insurer shall have consented to such Subservicing
Agreement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the
provisions of any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this
Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the
81
Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer
or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Depositor,
the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without
diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing
Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer
and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the
Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. Every
Subservicing Agreement entered into by the Servicer shall contain a provision
giving any successor servicer the option to terminate such agreement, with the
consent of the NIMs Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
in the event a successor servicer is appointed. All actions of the each
Subservicer performed pursuant to the related Subservicing Agreement shall be
performed as an agent of the Servicer with the same force and effect as if
performed directly by the Servicer. The Servicer shall deliver to the NIMs
Insurer copies of all Subservicing Agreements. The Trustee shall have no
obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to a Subservicer, including,
without limitation, any obligation, duty or liability to monitor such
Subservicer or to pay a Subservicer's fees and expenses.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to
have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the
Mortgage Loans that are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether such
payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Servicer.
SECTION 3.03. Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the
Servicer.
Neither the Trustee nor the Depositor shall have any responsibility or
liability for any action or failure to act by the Servicer, and none of them is
obligated to supervise the performance of the Servicer hereunder or otherwise.
SECTION 3.04. Trustee to Act as Servicer.
Subject to Sections 6.04 and 7.02, in the event that the Servicer shall,
for any reason, no longer be the servicer hereunder (including by reason of an
Event of Default), the Trustee or its designee shall, within a period of time
not to exceed ninety (90) days from the date of notice of termination or
resignation, thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer
hereunder arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable
for losses of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof or any acts or
omissions of the Servicer or any predecessor servicer hereunder, (ii) obligated
to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law, (iii)
obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans
hereunder, including pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 hereof, (iv) responsible
for any expenses of the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03 or (v) deemed to have
made any representations and warranties hereunder, including pursuant to Section
2.04 or the first paragraph of Section 6.02 hereof; provided, however that the
Trustee (subject to clause (ii) above) or its designee, in its capacity as the
successor servicer, shall immediately assume the Servicer's obligation to make
Advances and Servicing Advances). No such termination or resignation shall
affect any obligation of the Servicer to pay amounts owed under this Agreement
and to perform its duties under this Agreement until its successor assumes all
of its rights and obligations hereunder. If the Servicer shall for any reason no
longer be the servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default), the
Trustee (or any other successor servicer) may, at its option, succeed to any
rights and obligations of the Servicer under any subservicing agreement in
accordance with the terms thereof; provided, however, that the Trustee (or any
other successor servicer) shall not incur any liability or have any obligations
in its capacity as servicer under a subservicing agreement arising prior to the
date of such succession unless it expressly elects to succeed to the rights and
obligations of the Servicer thereunder; and the Servicer shall not thereby be
relieved of any liability or obligations under any subservicing agreement
arising prior to the date of such succession. To the extent any costs or
expenses, including without limitation Servicing Transfer Costs incurred by the
Trustee in connection with this Section 3.04 or Section 7.02, are not paid by
the Servicer pursuant to this
82
Agreement within 30 days of the date of the Trustee's invoice thereof, such
amounts shall be payable out of the Certificate Account; provided that the
terminated servicer shall reimburse the Trust Fund for any such expense incurred
by the Trust Fund upon receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice evidencing such
expenses. If the Trustee is unwilling or unable to act as servicer, the Trustee
shall seek to appoint a successor servicer that is eligible in accordance with
the criteria specified in this Agreement and reasonably acceptable to the NIMs
Insurer.
The Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the
Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to
each subservicing agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and
otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of
the subservicing agreement to the assuming party.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, the Trustee, the Depositor
and the NIMs Insurer hereby agree that within 10 Business Days of delivery to
the Trustee by the Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter signed by the Servicer
whereby the Servicer shall resign as Servicer under this Agreement, the
Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee shall be appointed as successor
servicer (provided that at the time of such appointment the Servicing Rights
Pledgee meets the requirements of a successor servicer set forth in Section 7.02
of this Agreement, and for the purpose hereof, it is agreed that the consent and
approval of the Trustee, the Depositor and the NIMs Insurer shall be deemed to
have been given to the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee, and the
Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee are hereby agreed to be acceptable to
the Trustee, the Depositor and the NIMs Insurer or such designee) and the
Servicing Rights Pledgee agrees to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 3.05. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Collection Account;
Certificate Account.
(a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with
Accepted Servicing Practices to collect all payments called for under the terms
and provisions of the Mortgage Loans to the extent such procedures shall be
consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related
Required Insurance Policy. Consistent with the foregoing and subject to Section
3.01, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or,
if applicable, any default interest charge, or (ii) extend the due dates for
payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180 days;
provided, however, that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not
affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any
computation hereunder, except as provided below; provided, further, that the
NIMs Insurer's prior written consent shall be required for any modification,
waiver or amendment after the Cut-off Date if the aggregate number of
outstanding Mortgage Loans which have been modified, waived or amended exceeds
5% of the number of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date. In the event of any
such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, subject to Section 4.01, the
Servicer shall make any Advances on the related Mortgage Loan during the
scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage
Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default
or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the
Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also
waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications
that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or
interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept
payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal
Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the
postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications, variances,
forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively
referred to herein as "forbearance"), provided, however, that in no event shall
the Servicer grant any such forbearance (other than as permitted by the second
sentence of this Section) with respect to any one
83
Mortgage Loan more than once in any 12 month period or more than three times
over the life of such Mortgage Loan, and provided, further, that in determining
which course of action permitted by this sentence it shall pursue, the Servicer
shall adhere to the standards of Section 3.01. In connection with any
modification pursuant to this Section 3.05(a) and to the extent there are any
unreimbursed Advances, the Servicer shall reimburse itself for such amounts from
the Collection Account.
(b) The Servicer will not waive any Prepayment Charge or portion
thereof unless, (i) the enforceability thereof shall have been limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating
to creditors' rights generally or is otherwise prohibited by law, or (ii) the
collectability thereof shall have been limited due to acceleration in connection
with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or (iii) in the Servicer's
reasonable judgment as described in Section 3.01 hereof, (x) such waiver relates
to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default, (y) such waiver would maximize
recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment
Charge and related Mortgage Loan and (z) doing so is standard and customary in
servicing similar Mortgage Loans (including any waiver of a Prepayment Charge in
connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is related to a default or
a reasonably foreseeable default), or (iv) sufficient information is not made
available to enable it to collect the Prepayment Charge. Except as provided in
the preceding sentence, in no event will the Servicer waive a Prepayment Charge
in connection with a refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is not related to a
default or a reasonably foreseeable default. If the Servicer waives or does not
collect all or a portion of a Prepayment Charge relating to a Principal
Prepayment in full or in part due to any action or omission of the Servicer,
other than as provided above, the Servicer shall deposit the amount of such
Prepayment Charge (or such portion thereof as had been waived for deposit) into
the Collection Account for distribution in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(c) The Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in
litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage,
Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with
respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing
the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment
is required is prohibited by applicable law.
(d) The Servicer shall establish and maintain so long as it is acting
as servicer hereunder, on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, the Collection Account. The Servicer shall deposit into the
Collection Account, as soon as proper allocation can be determined, generally
within two Business Days of receipt thereof, in immediately available funds, the
following payments and collections received or made by it on and after the
Cut-Off Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans:
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans, other than principal due on the Mortgage
Loans on or prior to the Cut-off Date;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans
net of the related Servicing Fee permitted under Section 3.15, other than (x)
interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or prior to the Cut-off Date and (y) any
Prepayment Interest Excess;
(iii) all Liquidation Proceeds, other than proceeds to be 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 either the Mortgagor or
the holder of a senior lien on the Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged
Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) in accordance with the Servicer's normal
servicing procedures;
84
(iv) all Subsequent Recoveries;
(v) all Compensating Interest;
(vi) any amount required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant
to Section 3.05(f) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments;
(vii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof;
(viii) all Purchase Prices and Substitution Adjustment Amounts;
(ix) all Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01;
(x) all Prepayment Charges received;
(xi) all net monthly rental income from REO Properties required
to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12; and
(xii) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.
The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Servicer into the
Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all servicing-related fees,
including all late payment charges, insufficient funds charges, customary real
estate referral fees and payments in the nature of assumption fees (i.e. fees
related to the assumption of a Mortgage Loan upon the purchase of the related
Mortgaged Property or stock allocated to a dwelling unit in the case of a Co-op
Loan), modification fees, extension fees and other similar ancillary fees and
charges (other than Prepayment Charges) if collected, and any Prepayment
Interest Excess need not be remitted by the Servicer. Rather, such fees and
charges and similar amounts may be retained by the Servicer as additional
servicing compensation. In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount
not required to be remitted and not otherwise subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 3.08 hereof, it may at any time withdraw or direct the Trustee, or such
other institution maintaining the Collection Account, to withdraw such amount
from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. The Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to
all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in the
Collection Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until
withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08. In no event shall the Trustee incur
liability for withdrawals from the Collection Account at the direction of the
Servicer.
The Servicer shall give notice to the NIMs Insurer and the Trustee of the
location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior
to any change thereof. Not later than twenty days after each Distribution Date,
the Servicer shall forward to the NIMs Insurer, and upon request, to the Trustee
and the Depositor the most current available bank statement for the Collection
Account. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting
party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.
(e) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Certificate Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon
receipt, deposit or cause to be deposited in the Certificate Account and retain
therein the following:
85
(i) the aggregate amount withdrawn by the Servicer from the
Collection Account and required to be deposited in the Certificate Account;
(ii) any amount required to be deposited by the Trustee pursuant
to Section 3.05(g) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments; and
(iii) the Optional Termination Amount received by the Trustee
pursuant to Section 9.01.
Any amounts received by the Trustee prior to 1:00 p.m. Eastern time (or
such earlier deadline for investment in the Permitted Investments designated by
the Trustee) which are required to be deposited in the Certificate Account by
the Servicer shall be invested at the written direction of the Servicer in
Permitted Investments on the Business Day on which they were received. The
foregoing requirements for remittance by the Servicer and deposit by the Trustee
into the Certificate Account shall be exclusive. In the event that the Servicer
shall remit any amount not required to be remitted and not otherwise subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof, it may at any time cause the Trustee
to withdraw such amount from the Certificate Account, any provision herein to
the contrary notwithstanding. All funds deposited in the Certificate Account
shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed
in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08.
In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the
Certificate Account at the direction of the Servicer. The Trustee shall give
notice to the NIMs Insurer and the Servicer of the location of the Certificate
Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof.
(f) Each institution that maintains the Collection Account or the
Certificate Account shall invest the funds in each such account as directed by
the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, in writing, in Permitted
Investments, which shall mature not later than (i) in the case of the Collection
Account the Business Day preceding the related Servicer Remittance Date (except
that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that
maintains such Collection Account or is otherwise immediately available, then
such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Servicer Remittance
Date) and (ii) in the case of the Certificate Account, the Business Day
immediately preceding the first Distribution Date that follows the date of such
investment (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the
institution that maintains such Certificate Account or is otherwise immediately
available, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such
Distribution Date) and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to
its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the
Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All income and gain net of
any losses realized from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account shall be
for the benefit of the Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted
to it or withdrawn by it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any losses
incurred in the Collection Account in respect of any such investments shall be
deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account out of the Servicer's own
funds immediately as realized.
(g) All income and gain net of any losses realized from amounts on
deposit in the Certificate Account shall be for the benefit of (i) the Servicer
to the extent such income and gain (net of any losses) relates to the period
from the date of deposit into the Certificate Account to, but not including, the
Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (ii) the Trustee to the
extent such income and gain (net of any losses) relates to the Business Day
prior to the related Distribution Date. Any amounts in such Certificate Account
earned for the benefit of the Servicer shall be remitted by the Trustee to the
Servicer not later than the third Business Day of the month immediately
succeeding the month in which such amounts were earned. The amount of any losses
incurred in the Certificate Account in respect of any such investments shall be
deposited by the Trustee in the Certificate Account out of the Trustee's own
funds immediately as realized; provided that the Trustee shall be reimbursed by
86
the Servicer for any such losses which relate to the period from the date of
deposit into the Certificate Account to but not including the Business Day
immediately preceding the related Distribution Date.
SECTION 3.06. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow
Accounts.
To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note, the Servicer shall
establish and maintain one or more accounts (each, an "Escrow Account") and
deposit and retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by
the Servicer) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums
or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall
require the Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in
violation of applicable law.
Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made
only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums,
condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the
Servicer out of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections
3.01 hereof (with respect to taxes, assessments, dues or comparable items and
insurance premiums) and 3.10 hereof (with respect to hazard insurance), to
refund to any Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages, to pay
interest, if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage
Note, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account to withdraw funds
deposited in error or amounts previously deposited but returned as unpaid due to
a "not sufficient funds" or other denial by the related Mortgagor's banking
institution or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of
this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01 hereof. The Escrow Accounts shall
not be a part of the Trust Fund.
SECTION 3.07. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the
Mortgage Loans.
Upon reasonable advance notice in writing if required by federal
regulation, the Servicer will provide to each Certificateholder that is a
savings and loan association, bank or insurance company certain reports and
reasonable access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
sufficient to permit such Certificateholder to comply with applicable
regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authorities with respect to
investment in the Certificates; provided, that the Servicer shall be entitled to
be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder for actual expenses incurred by the
Servicer in providing such reports and access.
SECTION 3.08. Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection Account and
Certificate Account.
(a) The Servicer may from time to time, make withdrawals from the
Collection Account for the following purposes (the order below not constituting
an order of priority):
(i) to pay to the Servicer (to the extent not previously paid to
or withheld by the Servicer), as servicing compensation in accordance with
Section 3.15, that portion of any payment or recovery of interest on a Mortgage
Loan that equals the Servicing Fee for the period with respect to which such
interest payment or recovery was made or allocated, and, as additional servicing
compensation, those other amounts set forth in Section 3.15;
(ii) to reimburse the Servicer (or the Trustee as successor
servicer) for Advances made by it (or to reimburse the Advance Financing Person
for Advances made by it) with respect to the Mortgage Loans, such right of
reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received
on particular Mortgage Loan(s) (including, for this purpose, Condemnation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds) that represent late
recoveries of payments of principal and/or interest on such particular Mortgage
Loan(s) in respect of which any such Advance was made;
87
(iii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Non-Recoverable Advance
previously made and any Non-Recoverable Servicing Advances previously made to
the extent that, in the case of Non-Recoverable Servicing Advances,
reimbursement therefor constitutes "unanticipated expenses" within the meaning
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii);
(iv) to pay to the Servicer earnings on or investment income with
respect to funds in or credited to the Collection Account;
(v) to reimburse the Servicer from Insurance Proceeds for Insured
Expenses covered by the related Insurance Policy;
(vi) to pay the Servicer (or the Trustee as successor servicer)
any unpaid Servicing Fees and to reimburse it for any unreimbursed Servicing
Advances (to the extent that reimbursement for Servicing Advances would
constitute an "unanticipated expense" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii)), the Servicer's right to reimbursement of Servicing
Advances pursuant to this subclause (vi) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being
limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage Loan(s)(including, for this
purpose, Liquidation Proceeds and purchase and repurchase proceeds) that
represent late recoveries of the payments for which such advances were made
pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.06;
(vii) to pay to the Depositor or the Servicer, as applicable,
with respect to each Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect thereof that
has been purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03 or 3.12, all amounts received
thereon and not taken into account in determining the related Stated Principal
Balance of such repurchased Mortgage Loan;
(viii) to reimburse the Servicer, the Trustee or the Depositor
for expenses incurred by any of them in connection with the Mortgage Loans or
the Certificates and reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.25 or Section 6.03
hereof provided that reimbursement therefor would constitute "unanticipated"
expenses within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G1(b)(3)(ii);
(ix) to reimburse the Trustee for enforcement expenses reasonably
incurred in respect of a breach or defect giving rise to the purchase obligation
in Section 2.03 that were incurred in the Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loans
including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the purchase
obligation; provided that any such expenses will be reimbursable under this
subclause (ix) only to the extent that such expenses would constitute
"unanticipated expenses" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) if paid by one of the REMICs provided for herein;
(x) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Collection Account
and not required to be deposited therein;
(xi) to withdraw funds deposited in error or amounts previously
deposited but returned as unpaid due to insufficient funds or other denial by
the related Mortgagor's banking institution;
(xii) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof;
(xiii) to reimburse itself for Advances or Servicing Advances
from amounts in the Collection Account held for future distributions that were
not included in Available Funds for the preceding Distribution Date. An amount
equal to the amount withdrawn from the Collection Account pursuant to this
subclause (xiii) shall be deposited in the Collection Account by the Servicer on
the next succeeding Distribution Date on which funds are to be distributed to
Certificateholders; and
88
(xiv) to reimburse itself from any amounts in the Collection
Account for any prior Advances or Servicing Advances made by the Servicer that
have not otherwise been reimbursed to the Servicer at the time a Mortgage Loan
is modified.
In addition, no later than 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Servicer
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall cause to be withdrawn from the Collection
Account the Interest Funds, the Principal Funds and the Trustee Fee to the
extent on deposit, and such amount shall be deposited in the Certificate
Account; provided, however, if the Trustee does not receive such Interest Funds,
Principal Funds and Trustee Fee by 2:00 p.m. Eastern time, such Interest Funds
and Principal Funds shall be deposited in the Certificate Account on the next
Business Day.
The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage
Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from
the Collection Account.
The Servicer shall provide written notification to the Trustee on or prior
to the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date upon making any withdrawals from
the Collection Account pursuant to subclauses (iii) and (viii) above.
In the event of any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Trustee for
deposit into the Certificate Account any amounts (including any Advance)
required to be so remitted by the Servicer on the Servicer Remittance Date, the
Servicer shall pay to the Trustee, for its own account, interest on such amounts
at the "prime rate" (as specified in the New York edition of The Wall Street
Journal) until such failure is remedied.
Unless otherwise specified, any amounts reimbursable to the Servicer or the
Trustee from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or the Certificate
Accounts shall be deemed to come from first, Interest Funds, and thereafter,
Principal Funds for the related Distribution Date.
(b) The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Certificate Account for
distribution to the Certificateholders in the manner specified in this Agreement
(and shall withhold from the amounts so withdrawn, the amount of any taxes that
it is authorized to retain pursuant to this Agreement). In addition, prior to
making such distributions to the Certificateholders, the Trustee may from time
to time make withdrawals from the Certificate Account for the following purposes
(the order below not constituting an order of priority):
(i) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Certificate Account
and not required to be deposited therein;
(ii) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon
termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof (after paying all
amounts necessary to the Trustee or the Servicer in connection with any such
termination);
(iii) to reimburse the Trustee and the Custodian for any fees,
expenses and indemnification reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement, including
without limitation Sections 3.04, 6.03, 8.05 and 8.06 hereof; and
(iv) to pay to the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
earnings on or investment income with respect to funds in or credited to the
Certificate Account as provided in Section 3.05(g).
SECTION 3.09. [RESERVED]
89
SECTION 3.10. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
The Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each first lien Mortgage
Loan (other than a Co-op Loan), fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage
in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the replacement value
of the improvements that are part of such Mortgaged Property, or (ii) the
greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an
amount such that the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the
related Mortgagor and/or mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer or (iii) the
amount required under applicable HUD/FHA regulations. Each policy of standard
hazard insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that
contains, a standard mortgagee clause. The Servicer shall also cause flood
insurance to be maintained on property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu
of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, to the extent described below. Pursuant to
Section 3.05 hereof, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such
policies (other than the amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of
the related Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts released to
the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures)
shall be deposited in the Collection Account. Any cost incurred by the Servicer
in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating
monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to the Trustee
for their benefit, be added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs shall
be recoverable by the Servicer out of late payments by the related Mortgagor or
out of Liquidation Proceeds to the extent and as otherwise permitted by Section
3.08 hereof. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional
insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired
in respect of a Mortgage other than pursuant to such applicable laws and
regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property is located at the time of
origination of the Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood hazard
area and such area is participating in the national flood insurance program, the
Servicer shall cause flood insurance to be maintained with respect to such first
lien Mortgage Loan. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the
lesser of (i) the original principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii)
the replacement value of the improvements that are part of such Mortgaged
Property, or (iii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the
related Mortgaged Property under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as
amended.
In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy
insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the
first sentence of this Section 3.10, it being understood and agreed that such
policy may contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to
those commercially available and maintained by comparable servicers. If such
policy contains a deductible clause, the Servicer shall, in the event that there
shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy
complying with the first sentence of this Section 3.10, and there shall have
been a loss that would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the
Collection Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy
because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer
of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the
Depositor and the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, claims
under any such blanket policy.
SECTION 3.11. Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.11(a), when any
property subject to a Mortgage has been or is about to be conveyed by the
Mortgagor, the Servicer shall to the extent that it has knowledge of such
conveyance, enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or
Mortgage, but only to the extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect
or jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance Policy; provided, however,
that the Servicer shall not exercise any such right if the due-on-sale clause,
in the reasonable belief of the Servicer, is not enforceable under
90
applicable law. An opinion of counsel, which shall be reimbursable as a
Servicing Advance (to the extent it is an "unanticipated expense" within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii)), delivered to the
Trustee and the Depositor shall conclusively establish the reasonableness of
such belief to the extent permitted under applicable law. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Servicer is not required to exercise such rights with respect to
a Mortgage Loan if the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property (or stock
allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) has been conveyed or
is proposed to be conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the
Mortgage Note and Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee
under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such
Mortgage Note or Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that the
Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale clause, or if
coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely affected, or if
nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Servicer is authorized,
subject to Section 3.11(b), to take or enter into an assumption and modification
agreement from or with the Person to whom such property has been or is about to
be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage
Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains
liable thereon, provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if
so covered before the Servicer enters such agreement) by the applicable Required
Insurance Policies. The Servicer, subject to Section 3.11(b), is also authorized
with the prior approval of the insurers under any Required Insurance Policies to
enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to
which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is
substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default
under this Section 3.11(a) by reason of any transfer or assumption that the
Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing.
(b) Subject to the Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause
to the extent set forth in Section 3.11(a) hereof, in any case in which a
Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of Co-op
Loan) has been 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 that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an
instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor
from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver or
cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and shall
direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with the
Person to whom the Mortgaged Property (or the stock allocated to a dwelling
unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) is to be conveyed and such modification
agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments as
are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions
or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling
unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) to such Person. In connection with any such
assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including, but not limited
to, the Mortgage Rate, the amount of the Scheduled Payment, the Maximum Rate,
the Minimum Rate, the Gross Margin, the Periodic Rate Cap, the Adjustment Date,
any prepayment penalty and any other term affecting the amount or timing of
payment on the Mortgage Loan) may be changed. The Servicer shall notify the
Trustee and the NIMs Insurer that any such substitution or assumption agreement
has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee (with a copy to the NIMs
Insurer) the original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the
case of the original shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for
all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as
all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. The Servicer
shall be responsible for recording any such assumption or substitution
agreements. Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or
substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Servicer as
additional servicing compensation.
91
SECTION 3.12. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Determination of
Excess Proceeds.
(a) The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the
servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01 to foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage
Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of Delinquent payments. In connection
with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow such
practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be
normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and the
requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided,
however, that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in
connection with the restoration of any property that shall have suffered damage
due to an uninsured cause unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration
will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after
reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be
recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have
priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 3.08 hereof). The Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and
expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it
shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the proceeds of liquidation of
the related Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the
case of a Co-op Loan) and if applicable, as a Non-Recoverable Servicing Advance,
as contemplated in Section 3.08 hereof. If the Servicer has knowledge that a
Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op
Loan) that the Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is located within a one-mile radius of any site with
environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Servicer, the Servicer will,
prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling
unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan), consider such risks and only take action in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.
With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be
taken in the name of the Trustee or its nominee. Pursuant to its efforts to sell
such REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected
by the Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to
such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located
and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the
Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to
be in the best interest of the Servicer and the Certificateholders for the
period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Servicer or its affiliate may
receive usual and customary real estate referral fees for real estate brokers in
connection with the listing and disposition of REO Property. The Servicer shall
prepare a statement with respect to each REO Property that has been rented
showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in
connection with the management and maintenance of such REO Property at such
times as is necessary to enable the Servicer to comply with the reporting
requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental income, if any,
from such REO Property shall be deposited in the Collection Account no later
than the close of business on the Determination Date immediately following the
month concerned. The Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and withholding
related to foreclosures, abandonments and cancellation of indebtedness income as
specified by Sections 1445, 6050J and 6050P of the Code by preparing and filing
such tax and information returns, as may be required.
In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property (or stock
allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) as aforesaid or
otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan,
the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a
dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) prior to the expiration of three
years from the end of the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund or, at the
expense of the Trust Fund, obtain, in accordance with applicable procedures for
obtaining an automatic extension of the grace period, more than 60 days prior to
the day on which such three-year period would otherwise expire, an extension of
the
92
three-year grace period, in which case such property must be disposed of prior
to the end of such extension, unless the Trustee and the NIMs Insurer shall have
been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel (such Opinion of Counsel not to be an
expense of the Trustee or the NIMs Insurer), to the effect that the holding by
the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling
unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) subsequent to such three-year period or
extension will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" of the Trust Fund or any of the REMICs provided for herein as
defined in section 860F of the Code or cause any of the REMICs provided for
herein to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged
Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan)
(subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property (or
stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) acquired by the
Trust Fund shall be held, rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or
otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in
such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged
Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) to
fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of section
860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject the Trust Fund or any REMIC provided for
herein to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the
income earned from such Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling
unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) under section 860G(c) of the Code or
otherwise, unless the Servicer or the Depositor has agreed to indemnify and hold
harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes. The
Servicer shall have no liability for any losses resulting from a foreclosure on
a second lien Mortgage Loan, if any, in connection with the foreclosure of the
related first lien mortgage loan that is not a Mortgage Loan if the Servicer
does not receive notice of such foreclosure action.
The decision of the Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan
shall be subject to a determination by the Servicer that the proceeds of such
foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding.
The income earned from the management of any Mortgaged Properties acquired
through foreclosure or other judicial proceeding, net of reimbursement to the
Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or other taxes) in
connection with such management and net of unreimbursed Servicing Fees,
Advances, Servicing Advances and any management fee paid or to be paid with
respect to the management of such Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a
dwelling unit, in the case of Co-op Loan), shall be applied for the purpose of
the Trust Fund to the payment of principal of, and interest on, the related
defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such Mortgage Loans
were still current) and all such net income shall be deemed, for all purposes
and as between the parties to 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 that any such net income received during a
Prepayment Period is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing
principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related
Mortgage Loan, such excess shall be considered to be a partial Principal
Prepayment for all purposes hereof.
The Liquidation Proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, net of
any payment to the Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the
Collection Account on the next succeeding Determination Date following receipt
thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date.
The proceeds of any Liquidated Loan, as well as any recovery resulting from
a partial collection of Liquidation Proceeds and any net income from an REO
Property, will be applied as between the parties in the following order of
priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer for any related unreimbursed
Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees, pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(vi) or
this Section 3.12; second, to reimburse the Servicer for any unreimbursed
Advances, pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(ii) or this Section 3.12; third, to any
Prepayment Charges and then to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no
Advance has been made for such amount) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO
Property, at the applicable Net
93
Mortgage Rate to the Due Date occurring in the month in which such amounts are
required to be distributed; and fourth, as a recovery of principal of the
Mortgage Loan.
(b) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine the
respective aggregate amounts of Excess Proceeds, if any, that occurred in the
related Prepayment Period.
(c) The Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to
elect (by written notice sent to the Trustee) to purchase for its own account
from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more Delinquent or REO
Property for which the Servicer has accepted a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure at a
price equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan or
REO Property purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Trustee for deposit
to the Certificate Account and the Trustee or the Custodian, upon receipt of
such confirmation of deposit and a Request for Release from the Servicer in the
form of Exhibit I hereto, shall release or cause to be released to the Servicer
the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by the Servicer, in each case without recourse,
representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer any
Mortgage Loan or REO Property released pursuant hereto and the Servicer shall
succeed to all the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage
Loan and all security and documents related thereto. Such assignment shall be an
assignment outright and not for security. The Servicer shall thereupon own such
Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents, free of any further obligation to
the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect thereto. The Servicer shall
not use any procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be repurchased which is
materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders.
(d) With respect to such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and
continue in default, the Servicer will decide, in its reasonable business
judgment, whether to (i) foreclose upon the Mortgaged Properties securing those
Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.12(a), (ii) write off the unpaid principal
balance of the Mortgage Loans as bad debt (unless the Servicer, after making a
reasonable estimate of the expected recovery, determines that foreclosure
proceedings or other liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property would yield a
net recovery), (iii) take a deed in lieu of foreclosure, (iv) accept a short
sale or short refinance; (v) arrange for a repayment plan or refinancing, or
(vi) agree to a modification of such Mortgage Loan.
(e) Any Mortgage Loan that is charged off, pursuant to (d) above, may
continue to be serviced by the Servicer for the Certificateholders using
specialized collection procedures (including foreclosure, if appropriate). The
Servicer will be entitled to Servicing Fees and reimbursement of expenses in
connection with such Mortgage Loans after the date of charge off, only to the
extent of funds available from any recoveries on all such Mortgage Loans.
In the event that the Servicer (or an affiliate of the Servicer) is the
owner of more than 50% of the Class of Certificates which is then currently in a
first loss position and such party is deemed to be the "Primary Beneficiary" as
defined in FIN 40, the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall not apply and
the Servicer (or an affiliate of the Servicer), in its sole discretion, shall
have the right to elect to purchase for its own account from the Trust Fund any
Mortgage Loan that is 120 days or more Delinquent or REO Property for which the
Servicer has accepted a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, during the period
commencing on the first day of the calendar quarter succeeding the calendar
quarter in which the Initial Delinquency Date (as defined below) occurred with
respect to such Mortgage Loan and ending on the last Business Day of such
calendar quarter. If the Servicer (or an affiliate of the Servicer) does not
exercise its purchase right with respect to a Mortgage Loan during the period
specified in the preceding sentence, such Mortgage Loan shall thereafter again
become eligible for purchase pursuant to the preceding sentence only after the
Mortgage Loan ceases to be 120 days or more Delinquent and thereafter becomes
120 days Delinquent again. The "Initial Delinquency Date" of a Mortgage Loan
shall mean the date on
94
which the Mortgage Loan first became 120 days Delinquent. Prior to repurchase
pursuant to this Section 3.12, the Servicer shall be required to continue to
make monthly advances pursuant to Section 4.01. The Servicer shall not use any
procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be repurchased which is materially
adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall purchase
any Mortgage Loan or REO Property pursuant to this paragraph at a price equal to
the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan or REO Property
purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Trustee for deposit in the
Certificate Account. The Trustee, upon receipt of notice of such deposit and a
Request for Release from the Servicer in the form of Exhibit I hereto, shall
release or cause to be released to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and
shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by
the Servicer, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as
shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer any Mortgage Loan or REO Property
released pursuant hereto and the Servicer shall succeed to all the Trustee's
right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan and all security and
documents related thereto. The provisions in this paragraph shall only apply if
Xxxxxx Loan Servicing LP is the servicer. The Trustee shall not be responsible
for any independent calculations or other determinations in connection with the
application of the provisions set forth in this paragraph.
SECTION 3.13. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes, the Servicer will promptly notify the Trustee or
its custodian by delivering a Request for Release substantially in the form of
Exhibit I. Upon receipt of two copies of such request, the Trustee or its
custodian shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and
the Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the
MERS System of any such Mortgage if applicable, and the Servicer, on behalf of
the Trustee shall execute and deliver the request for reconveyance, deed of
reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing
the lien of the Mortgage together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence
of cancellation thereon. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of
satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Mortgagor to the
extent permitted by law, and otherwise to the Trust Fund to the extent such
expenses constitute "unanticipated expenses" within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860G-(1)(b)(3)(ii). From time to time and as shall be
appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including for
such purpose, collection under any policy of flood insurance, any fidelity bond
or errors or omissions policy, or for the purposes of effecting a partial
release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the making of
any corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the other
documents included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee or its custodian shall,
upon delivery to the Trustee or its custodian of a Request for Release in the
form of Exhibit I signed by a Servicing Officer, release the Mortgage File to
the Servicer. Subject to the further limitations set forth below, the Servicer
shall cause the Mortgage File or documents so released to be returned to the
Trustee or its custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer
exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are
deposited in the Collection Account.
Each Request for Release may be delivered to the Trustee or its custodian
(i) via mail or courier, (ii) via facsimile or (iii) by such other means,
including, without limitation, electronic or computer readable medium, as the
Servicer and the Trustee or its custodian shall mutually agree. The Trustee or
its designee shall promptly release the related Mortgage File(s) within five (5)
Business Days of receipt of a properly completed Request for Release pursuant to
clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above. Receipt of a properly completed Request for
Release shall be authorization to the Trustee or its custodian to release such
Mortgage Files, provided the Trustee or its custodian has determined that such
Request for Release has been executed, with respect to clauses (i) or (ii)
above, or approved, with respect to clause (iii) above, by an authorized
Servicing Officer of the Servicer, and so long as the Trustee or its custodian
complies with its duties and obligations under the agreement. If the Trustee or
its custodian is unable to release the
95
Mortgage Files within the period previously specified, the Trustee or its
custodian shall immediately notify the Servicer indicating the reason for such
delay. If the Servicer is required to pay penalties or damages due to the
Trustee or its custodian's negligent failure to release the related Mortgage
File or the Trustee or its custodian's negligent failure to execute and release
documents in a timely manner, the Trustee or its custodian, shall be liable for
such penalties or damages respectively caused by it.
On each day that the Servicer remits to the Trustee or its custodian
Requests for Releases pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) above, the Servicer
shall also submit to the Trustee or its custodian a summary of the total number
of such Requests for Releases requested on such day by the same method as
described in such clauses (ii) and (iii).
If the Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure proceeding in
respect of any Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the
case of a Co-op Loan) as authorized by this Agreement, the Servicer may deliver
or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or its custodian, for signature, as
appropriate or on behalf of the Trustee, execute any court pleadings, requests
for trustee's sale or other documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure
or any legal action brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce
any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or
otherwise available at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Servicer shall cause possession of any Mortgage File or of the documents therein
that shall have been released by the Trustee or its custodian to be returned to
the Trustee promptly after possession thereof shall have been released by the
Trustee or its custodian unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and
the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in
the Collection Account, and the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee or
its custodian a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit I or (ii) the
Mortgage File or document shall have 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) and the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee or its
custodian an Officer's Certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the
name and address of the Person to which the Mortgage File or the documents
therein were delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.
SECTION 3.14. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Servicer to be
Held for the Trustee.
All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of,
the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of
principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including but not
limited to, any funds on deposit in the Collection Account, shall be held by the
Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and
exclusive property of the Trust Fund, subject to the applicable provisions of
this Agreement. The Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or
subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Collection
Account or Certificate Account or in any Escrow Account, or any funds that
otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ
of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or otherwise any
claim or right of set off against any Mortgage File or any funds collected on,
or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Servicer shall
be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that
are properly due and payable to the Servicer under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.15. Servicing Compensation.
96
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be
entitled to retain or withdraw from the Collection Account out of each payment
or recovery of interest on a Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund an amount
equal to interest at the applicable Servicing Fee Rate on the Stated Principal
Balance of the related Mortgage Loan as of the immediately preceding
Distribution Date.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of any Excess Proceeds, late
payment fees, assumption fees (i.e. fees related to the assumption of a Mortgage
Loan upon the purchase of the related Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to
a dwelling unit, in the case of Co-op Loan)), modification fees, customary real
estate referral fees, extension fees and similar fees payable by the Mortgagor,
any Prepayment Interest Excess and all income and gain net of any losses
realized from Permitted Investments in the Collection Account shall be retained
by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Collection
Account pursuant to Sections 3.05 or 3.12(a) hereof. In addition, the Servicer
shall be entitled to income and gain from amounts on deposit in the Certificate
Account during the period from the Servicer Remittance date to but not including
the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date as
described in Section 3.05(g). The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses
incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including
payment of any premiums for hazard insurance, as required by Section 3.10 hereof
and maintenance of the other forms of insurance coverage required by Section
3.10 hereof) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as
specifically provided in this Agreement. In no event shall the Trustee be liable
for any Servicing Fee or for any differential between the Servicing Fee and the
amount necessary to induce a successor servicer to act as successor servicer
under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.16. Access to Certain Documentation.
The Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to comparable

business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it provided, that
the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder
for actual expenses incurred by the Servicer in providing such reports and
access. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to
observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the
Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this
Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this
Section.
SECTION 3.17. Annual Statement as to Compliance.
(a) The Servicer and the Trustee, each at its own expense, will
deliver, and the Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to cause any
Subservicer engaged by the Servicer to deliver, to the Trustee and the

Certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit T-4, stating, as to each
signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of such party during such

applicable servicing agreement in all material respects throughout such year or

obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such
officer and the nature and status thereof.
(b) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee
is for informational purposes only and its receipt of such shall not constitute
constructive notice of any
97
information contained therein or determinable from information contained
therein, including the Servicer's compliance with any of its covenants hereunder
(as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers'
Certificates).
SECTION 3.18. Reports on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation.
(a) The Servicer and the Trustee, each at its own expense, shall

engaged by it to furnish to the Depositor and the Trustee an officer's
certification and assessment of its compliance with the Relevant Servicing
Criteria during the preceding calendar year as required by Rules 13a-18 and
15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB (the "Assessment of
Compliance"), which assessment shall contain (A) a statement by such party of
its responsibility for assessing compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria
applicable to it, (B) a statement that such party used the Relevant Servicing
Criteria to assess compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria applicable to
it, (C) such party's assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing
Criteria as of and for the fiscal year covered by the Form 10-K required to be
filed pursuant to Section 3.27, including, if there has been any material
instance of noncompliance with the relevant Servicing Criteria applicable to it,
and (D) a statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an
attestation report on such party's assessment of compliance with the Relevant
Servicing Criteria applicable to it as of and for such period. Such Assessment
of Compliance shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit T-1 hereto. The
parties acknowledge and agree that the items indicated as being subject to
assessment by each such party on Exhibit T-2 hereto are the items to be assessed
by such party as of the Closing Date and that any changes to such allocation of
assessment responsibilities will be made by mutual agreement of the parties. Any
such changes will not require an amendment of this Agreement.
In the event the Servicer or the Trustee is terminated or resigns pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, such party shall provide, and each such party
shall cause any Subcontractor engaged by it to provide, and the Servicer shall
use its reasonable efforts to cause any Subservicer that resigns or is
terminated under any applicable servicing agreement to provide, an annual
assessment of compliance pursuant to this Section 3.18, coupled with an

Accountants to furnish, by March 15 of each year, commencing in March 2007, a
report (the "Accountants Attestation") to the Trustee, the Servicer and the
Depositor to the effect that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding
certain matters from the management of such party, which includes an assertion
that such party has complied with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, and (ii) on
the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards
for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the PCAOB, it is expressing an
opinion as to whether such party's compliance with the Relevant Servicing
Criteria was fairly stated in all material respects, or it cannot express an
overall opinion regarding such party's assessment of compliance with the
Relevant Servicing Criteria. In the event that an overall opinion cannot be
expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall state in such report why
it was unable to express such an opinion. Such report must be available for
general use and not contain restricted use language. Such Accountant's
Attestation shall be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of

Loans in material compliance with the terms of this Agreement or the gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer. The provisions of
this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment
of the outstanding Certificates.

hereby covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate of the Servicer will directly

delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in
this Agreement or for any other reason, the Trustee will promptly notify the
Depositor and the Servicer of such inability to make a timely filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K, the
Depositor and Trustee will cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a
10-DA and 10KA, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In
the case of Form 8-K, the Trustee will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K
Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor,
include such disclosure information on the next succeeding Form 10-D to be filed
for the Issuing Entity. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, 10-D or
10-K needs to be amended, the Trustee will notify the Depositor and the
Servicer, and such parties agree to cooperate to prepare any necessary 8-K/A,
10-D/A or 10-K/A. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or
10-K shall be signed by a senior officer of the Servicer upon receipt by the
Servicer of notice that any such forms are acceptable to the Depositor. The
Depositor and Servicer acknowledge that the performance by the Trustee of its
duties under this Section 3.27 related to the timely preparation, arrangement
for execution and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K,
10-D or 10-K is contingent upon the Servicer and the Depositor performing their
duties under this Section. The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss,
expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to
properly prepare, arrange for execution and/or timely file any such Form 15,
Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure
results from the Trustee's inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis,
any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for
execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D
or 10-K.
(o) The obligations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (n) of this
Section 3.27 shall only apply with respect to periods for which reports are
required to be filed with respect to the Issuing Entity under the Exchange Act.
On or prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Trustee is able to do
so under applicable law, the Trustee shall file a Form 15 Suspension
Notification with respect to the Issuing Entity. As of the beginning of any
fiscal year after the filing of a Form 15 Suspension Notification, if the number
of Certificateholders of record exceeds the number set forth in Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act or the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto which would
cause the Issuing Entity to again become subject to the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act, the Trustee, solely at the Depositor's prior written
direction and expense, shall recommence preparing and filing reports on Form
10-K, 8-K and 10-D as required pursuant to this Section 3.27 and the parties
hereto shall again have the obligations set forth in this Section; provided that
if the Trustee re-commences the preparing and filing of Exchange Act reports, it
may, as soon as permitted by the Exchange Act, file another Form 15 Suspension
Notification.
(p) The Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless 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 breach by the Trustee or any of its officers, directors, agents or
Affiliates of its obligations under Sections 3.18 and 3.27, any material
misstatement or omission in any documents prepared thereunder (to the extent the
Trustee is responsible for providing information or calculating amounts included
in such information), the failure of the Trustee to deliver when required any
Assessment of Compliance or Accountant's Attestation required of it pursuant to
Section 3.18, or any material misstatement or omission contained in any
Assessment of Compliance or Accountant's Attestation provided on its behalf
pursuant to Section 3.18, or the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of
the Trustee in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein
is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the indemnified parties, then
the Trustee 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 Trustee on the one hand and of the indemnified parties on
the other.
105
(q) The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and its
officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of the Servicer's
failure to sign and deliver either the certification or the Form 10-K within the
time frame provided in this Section 3.27, other than any losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of the Trustee's
breach of its obligations under this Agreement. If the indemnification provided
for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Trustee and its
officers, directors and Affiliates, then the Servicer shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the Trustee, its officers, directors or Affiliates as
a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Trustee, its
officers, directors or Affiliates in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the Trustee and its officers, directors and
Affiliate on the one hand and the Servicer on the other.
(r) If the Securities and Exchange Commission issues additional
interpretative guidance or promulgates additional rules or regulations with
respect to Regulation AB or otherwise, or if other changes in applicable law
occur, that would require the reporting arrangements, or the allocation of
responsibilities with respect thereto, described in this Section 3.27, to be
conducted differently than as described, the Depositor, the Servicer, and the
Trustee will reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Section 3.27
in order to comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment
of this Section 3.27. Any such amendment shall be made in accordance with the
first paragraph of Section 10.01 without the consent of the Certificateholders
and without the requirement to deliver notice in writing to the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that such action will not
result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of
Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency. Such Amendment may
result in the reduction of the reports filed by the Trustee on behalf of the
Trust under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee shall be obligated to enter into any
amendment pursuant to this Section 3.27 that adversely affects its obligations
and immunities under this Agreement.
(s) The Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee agree to use their
good faith efforts to cooperate in complying with the requirements of this
Section 3.27.
(t) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer a copy of any
such executed report, statement or information.
(u) Any notice required to be delivered by the Trustee to the
Depositor or the Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.27, the Trustee may deliver
such notice, notwithstanding any contrary provision in Section 10.05 (i) to the
Depositor via facsimile to (000) 000-0000, via email to xxxx_xxxx@xx.xxx or
telephonically by calling Xxxx Xxxx at (000) 000-0000, and (ii) to the Servicer
via facsimile to (000) 000-0000, via email to xxxxxxxxx.xxxx@xxxxxx.x-xxxx.xxx
or telephonically by calling Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx at (000)000-0000.
ARTICLE IV
DISTRIBUTIONS
SECTION 4.01. Advances.
106
(a) Subject to the conditions of this Article IV, the Servicer, as
required below, shall make an Advance and deposit such Advance in the Collection
Account. Each such Advance shall be remitted to the Collection Account no later
than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Servicer Advance Date in immediately
available funds. The Servicer shall be obligated to make any such Advance only
to the extent that such advance would not be a Non-Recoverable Advance. If the
Servicer shall have determined that it has made a Non-Recoverable Advance or
that a proposed Advance or a lesser portion of such Advance would constitute a
Non-Recoverable Advance, the Servicer shall deliver (i) to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, funds constituting the remaining portion of
such Advance, if applicable, and (ii) to the Depositor, the NIMs Insurer and the
Trustee an Officer's Certificate setting forth the basis for such determination.
The Servicer may, in its sole discretion, make an Advance with respect to the
principal portion of the final Scheduled Payment on a Balloon Loan, but the
Servicer is under no obligation to do so; provided, however, that nothing in
this sentence shall affect the Servicer's obligation under this Section 4.01 to
advance the interest portion of the final Scheduled Payment with respect to a
Balloon Loan as if such Balloon Loan were a fully amortizing Mortgage Loan. If a
Mortgagor does not pay its final Scheduled Payment on a Balloon Loan when due,
the Servicer shall Advance (unless it determines in its good faith judgment that
such amounts would constitute a Non-Recoverable Advance) a full month of
interest (net of the Servicing Fee) on the Stated Principal Balance thereof each
month until its Stated Principal Balance is reduced to zero.
In lieu of making all or a portion of such Advance from its own funds, the
Servicer may (i) cause to be made an appropriate entry in its records relating
to the Collection Account that any amount held for future distribution has been
used by the Servicer in discharge of its obligation to make any such Advance and
(ii) transfer such funds from the Collection Account to the Certificate Account.
In addition, the Servicer shall have the right to reimburse itself for any such
Advance from amounts held from time to time in the Collection Account to the
extent such amounts are not then required to be distributed. Any funds so
applied and transferred pursuant to the previous two sentences shall be replaced
by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account no later than the close of
business on the Servicer Advance Date on which such funds are required to be
distributed pursuant to this Agreement. The Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed from the Collection Account for all Advances of its own funds made
pursuant to this Section as provided in Section 3.08. The obligation to make
Advances with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall continue until the earlier of
(i) the date such Mortgage Loan is paid in full, (ii) the date the related
Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a
Co-op Loan) or related REO Property has been liquidated or until the purchase or
repurchase thereof (or substitution therefor) from the Trust Fund pursuant to
any applicable provision of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this
Section 4.01, or (iii) the date on which such Mortgage Loan becomes 150 days
delinquent as set forth below.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary
(including, but not limited to, Sections 3.01 and 4.01(a) hereof), no Advance or
Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Servicer (or,
including for the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee as successor servicer) if such
Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Non-Recoverable
Advance or a Non-Recoverable Servicing Advance. The determination by the
Servicer that it has made a Non-Recoverable Advance or a Non-Recoverable
Servicing Advance or that any proposed Advance or Servicing Advance, if made,
would constitute a Non-Recoverable Advance or a Non-Recoverable Servicing
Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the
Servicer delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee. In addition, the Servicer
shall not be required to advance any Relief Act Shortfalls. The Servicer will
not make any Advances of principal on REO Properties.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be required
to make any Advances for any Mortgage Loan after such Mortgage Loan becomes 150
days delinquent. The
107
Servicer shall identify such delinquent Mortgage Loans in the delinquency
reports to be furnished by the Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.24.
SECTION 4.02. Reduction of Servicing Compensation in Connection with
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.
In the event that any Mortgage Loan is the subject of a Prepayment Interest
Shortfall resulting from a Principal Prepayment in full, the Servicer shall,
from amounts in respect of the Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, deposit
into the Collection Account, as a reduction of the Servicing Fee for such
Distribution Date, no later than the Servicer Advance Date immediately preceding
such Distribution Date, an amount up to the Prepayment Interest Shortfall;
provided that the amount so deposited with respect to any Distribution Date
shall be limited to one half of the product of (x) one-twelfth of 0.50% and (y)
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans. In case of such
deposit, the Servicer shall not be entitled to any recovery or reimbursement
from the Depositor, the Trustee, the Issuing Entity or the Certificateholders.
With respect to any Distribution Date, to the extent that the Prepayment
Interest Shortfall exceeds Compensating Interest (such excess, a "Non-Supported
Interest Shortfall"), such Non-Supported Interest Shortfall shall reduce the
Current Interest with respect to each Class of Certificates, pro rata, based
upon the amount of interest each such Class would otherwise be entitled to
receive on such Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be
no reduction of the Servicing Fee in connection with Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls relating to the Relief Act and the Servicer shall not be obligated to
pay Compensating Interest with respect to Prepayment Interest Shortfalls related
to the Relief Act.
SECTION 4.03. Distributions on the REMIC Interests.
On each Distribution Date, amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account
shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as applied to distributions on
the interests in each of the SWAP REMIC and the Lower Tier REMIC in an amount
sufficient to make the distributions on the respective Certificates on such
Distribution Date in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04.
SECTION 4.04. Distributions.
(a) [RESERVED]
(b) On each Distribution Date (or on the Business Day prior to such
Distribution Date, with respect to payments to the Supplemental Interest Trust),
the Trustee shall, to the extent of funds then available, make the following
distributions from funds then available in the Certificate Account, of an amount
equal to the Interest Funds, in the following order of priority:
(i) to the Class P Certificates, an amount equal to any
Prepayment Charges received with respect to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts
paid by the Servicer, the Sponsor or the Transferor in respect of Prepayment
Charges pursuant to this Agreement or the Transfer Agreement, as applicable, and
all amounts received in respect of any indemnification paid as a result of a
Prepayment Charge being unenforceable in breach of the representations and
warranties set forth in the Sale Agreement or the Transfer Agreement for the
related Prepayment Period;
(ii) to the Supplemental Interest Trust, any Net Swap Payments
owed to the Swap Counterparty;
(iii) to the Supplemental Interest Trust, any Swap Termination

Defaulted Swap Termination Payment);
108
(iv) concurrently, to each class of the Class A Certificates, the
Current Interest and any Interest Carry Forward Amount with respect to each such
class; provided, however, that if Interest Funds are insufficient to make a full
distribution of the aggregate Current Interest and the aggregate Interest Carry
Forward Amount to the Class A Certificates, Interest Funds will be distributed
pro rata among each class of the Class A Certificates based upon the ratio of
(x) the Current Interest and Interest Carry Forward Amount for each class of the
Class A Certificates to (y) the total amount of Current Interest and any
Interest Carry Forward Amount for the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class R
Certificates in the aggregate;
(v) to the Class M-1 Certificates, the Current Interest for such
class and any Interest Carry Forward Amount with respect to such class;

(xi) to the Class B-1 Certificates, the Current Interest for each
such class and any Interest Carry Forward Amount with respect to each such
class;
(xii) to the Class B-2 Certificates, the Current Interest for
each such class and any Interest Carry Forward Amount with respect to each such
class;
(xiii) to the Class B-3 Certificates, the Current Interest for
each such class and any Interest Carry Forward Amount with respect to each such
class; and
(xiv) any remainder pursuant to Section 4.04(f) hereof.
On each Distribution Date, subject to the proviso in (iv) above, Interest
Funds received on the Group One Mortgage Loans will be deemed to be distributed
to the Class R and Class A-1 Certificates and Interest Funds received on the
Group Two Mortgage Loans will be deemed to be distributed to the Class A-2
Certificates, in each case, until the related Current Interest and Interest
Carry Forward Amount of each such class of Certificates for such Distribution
Date has been paid in full. Thereafter, Interest Funds not required for such
distributions are available to be applied to if necessary, to the class or
classes of Certificates that are not related to such group of Mortgage Loans.
(c) [RESERVED]
(d) On each Distribution Date (or on the Business Day prior to such
Distribution Date, with respect to payments to the Supplemental Interest Trust),
the Trustee shall, to the extent of funds then available, make the following
distributions from the Certificate Account of an amount equal
109
to the Principal Distribution Amount in the following order of priority, and
each such distribution shall be made only after all distributions pursuant to

fully distributed for such Distribution Date:

owed to the Swap Counterparty;
(ii) to the Supplemental Interest Trust, any Swap Termination

first, to the Class R Certificate until its Certificate Principal Balance
has been reduced to zero, and second, pro rata to the Class A-1A and Class
A-1B Certificates, based on their respective Certificate Principal
Balances, until the Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class has
been reduced to zero and (II) if a Class A-1 Trigger Event is in effect,
sequentially to the Class R, Class A-1A and Class A-1B Certificates, until
the Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class has been reduced to
zero;
(b) the Group Two Principal Distribution Amount will be
distributed sequentially, to the Class A-2A Certificates until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, then to the
Class A-2B Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero, then to the Class A-2C Certificates until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero and then to
the Class A-2D Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero; provided, however, that on and after the
Distribution Date on which the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of
the Subordinate Certificates has been reduced to zero and the Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is equal to or less than the
aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates, any
principal distributions allocated to the Class A-2A, Class A-2B, Class A-2C

on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to each
Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either by wire transfer
in immediately available funds to the account of such holder at a bank or other
entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder has so notified
the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date or,
if not, by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the
address of such holder appearing in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, but subject to Section 9.02 hereof respecting the final
distribution, distributions with respect to Certificates registered in the name
of a Depository shall be made to such Depository in immediately available funds.
In accordance with this Agreement, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver
an electronic report (the "Remittance Report") to the Trustee (or by such other
means as the Servicer and the Trustee may agree from time to time) containing
such data and information as to permit the Trustee to prepare the Monthly
Statement to Certificateholders and make the required distributions for the
related Distribution Date. The Trustee will prepare the Monthly Report based
solely upon the information received from the Servicer.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the NIMs Insurer of any proceeding or the
institution of any action, of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge, seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law (a "Preference
Claim") of any distribution made with respect to the Class C Certificates or the
Class P Certificates. Each Holder of the Class C Certificates or the Class P
Certificates, by its purchase of such Certificates and the Trustee hereby agree
that the NIMs Insurer may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding
relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference
Claim, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any
order relating to such Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety,
supersedes or performance bond pending any such appeal. In addition and without
limitation of the foregoing, the NIMs Insurer shall be subrogated to the rights
of the Trustee and each Holder of the Class C Certificates and the Class P
Certificates in the conduct of any such Preference Claim, including, without
limitation, all rights of any party to an adversary proceeding action with
respect to any court order issued in connection with any such Preference Claim;
provided, however, that the NIMs Insurer will not have any rights with respect
to any Preference Claim set forth in this paragraph unless the indenture trustee
with respect to the NIM Notes or the holder of any NIMs Notes has been required
to relinquish a distribution made on the Class C Certificates, the Class P
Certificates or the NIM Notes, as applicable, and the NIMs Insurer made a
payment in respect of such relinquished amount.
113
(k) The Trustee is hereby directed by the Depositor to execute the Cap
Contracts on behalf of the Issuing Entity in the form presented to it by the
Depositor and shall have no responsibility for the contents of such Cap
Contract, including, without limitation, the representations and warranties
contained therein. Any funds payable by the Issuing Entity under the Cap
Contracts at closing shall be paid by the Depositor. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein or in any Cap Contract, except as set forth in
Section 11 of each Cap Contract, the Issuing Entity shall not be required to
make any payments to the counterparty under any Cap Contract. Any payments
received under the terms of the related Cap Contract will be available to pay
the holders of the related Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates and
Subordinate Certificates up to the amount of any Floating Rate Certificate
Carryovers remaining after all other distributions required under this Section
4.04 are made on such Distribution Date, other than Floating Rate Certificate
Carryovers attributable to the fact that Applied Realized Loss Amounts are not
allocated to the Class A Certificates. Any amounts received under the terms of
any Cap Contract on a Distribution Date that are not used to pay such Floating
Rate Certificate Carryovers will be distributed to the holders of the Class C
Certificates. Payments in respect of such Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers
from proceeds of a Cap Contract shall be paid to the related Classes of Class
A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates and Subordinate Certificates, pro rata
based upon such Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers for each such class of
Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates and Subordinate Certificates.
Amounts received on the Class A-1 Cap Contract will only be available to make
payments on the Class A-1 Certificates, amounts received on the Class A-2 Cap
Contract will only be available to make payments on the Class A-2 Certificates,
amounts received on the Subordinate Certificates Cap Contract will only be
available to make payments on the Subordinate Certificates.
(i) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, for the benefit of
the Issuing Entity and the Certificateholders, the Cap Contract Account. On or
prior to the related Cap Contract Termination Date, amounts, if any, received by
the Trustee for the benefit of the Trust Fund in respect of the related Cap
Contract shall be deposited by the Trustee into the Cap Contract Account and
will be used to pay Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers on the related Class
A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates and Subordinate Certificates to the
extent provided in the immediately preceding paragraph. With respect to any
Distribution Date on or prior to the related Cap Contract Termination Date, the
amount, if any, payable by the Cap Contract Counterparty under the related Cap
Contract will equal the product of (i) the excess of (x) One-Month LIBOR (as
determined by the Cap Contract Counterparty and subject to a cap equal to the
rate with respect to such Distribution Date as shown under the heading "1ML
Upper Collar" in the schedule to the related Cap Contract), over (y) the rate
with respect to such Distribution Date as shown under the heading "1ML Strike
Lower Collar" in the schedule to the related Cap Contract, (ii) an amount equal
to the lesser of (x) the related Cap Contract Notional Balance for such
Distribution Date and (y) the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the
related classes of Certificates and (iii) the number of days in such Accrual
Period, divided by 360. If a payment is made to the Issuing Entity under a Cap
Contract and the Trustee is required to distribute excess amounts to the holders
of the Class C Certificates as described above, information regarding such
distribution will be included in the monthly statement made available on the
Trustee's website pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof.
(ii) Amounts on deposit in the Cap Contract Account will remain
uninvested pending distribution to Certificateholders.
(iii) Each Cap Contract is scheduled to remain in effect until
the related Cap Contract Termination Date and will be subject to early
termination only in limited circumstances. Such circumstances include certain
insolvency or bankruptcy events in relation to the Cap Contract Counterparty
(after a grace period of three Local Business Days, as defined in the related
Cap Contract, after notice of such failure is received by the Cap Contract
Counterparty) to make a payment due under the related Cap Contract, the failure
by the Cap Contract Counterparty (after a cure period of 20 days after
114
notice of such failure is received) to perform any other agreement made by it
under the related Cap Contract, the termination of the Trust Fund and the
related Cap Contract becoming illegal or subject to certain kinds of taxation.
(l) On the Closing Date, the Supplemental Interest Trust shall be
established and maintained pursuant to this Agreement, as a separate trust, the
corpus of which shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the holders of
the Certificates as a segregated subtrust of the Trust Fund. The Supplemental
Interest Trust shall contain the Swap Account and any payments to the
Supplemental Interest Trust shall be deposited into the Swap Account. The Swap
Account shall be an Eligible Account, and funds deposited therein shall be held
separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys,
including, without limitation, other moneys of the Trustee held pursuant to this
Agreement. In no event shall any funds deposited in the Swap Account be credited
to or made available to any other account of the Trust Fund. The records of the
Trustee shall at all times reflect that the Supplemental Interest Trust is a
subtrust of the Trust Fund, the assets of which are segregated from other assets
of the Trust Fund.
The Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to enforce all of the rights of
the Supplemental Interest Trust and exercise any remedies under the Swap
Agreement and, in the event the Swap Agreement is terminated as a result of the
designation by either party thereto of an Early Termination Date (as defined in
the Swap Agreement), find a replacement counterparty to enter into a replacement
swap agreement utilizing the amounts of the net Swap Termination Payments
received.
For each Distribution Date, through and including the Distribution Date in
March 2011, the Trustee shall, based on the Significance Estimate (which shall
be provided to the Trustee by the Depositor within five Business Days prior to
the Distribution Date), calculate the Significance Percentage of the Swap
Agreement. If on any such Distribution Date, the Significance Percentage is
equal to or greater than 9%, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Depositor and
the Depositor, on behalf of the Trustee, shall obtain the financial information
required to be delivered by the Swap Counterparty pursuant to the terms of the
Swap Agreement. If, on any succeeding Distribution Date through and including
the Distribution Date in March 2011, the Significance Percentage is equal to or
greater than 10%, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Depositor and the
Depositor shall, within five Business Days of such Distribution Date, deliver to
the Trustee the financial information provided to it by the Swap Counterparty
for inclusion in the Form 10-D relating to such Distribution Date.
Any Swap Termination Payment received by the Trustee shall be deposited in
the Swap Account and shall be used to make any upfront payment required under a
replacement swap agreement and any upfront payment received from the
counterparty to a replacement swap agreement shall be used to pay any Swap
Termination Payment owed to the Swap Counterparty.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event that a replacement
swap agreement cannot be obtained within 30 days after receipt by the Trustee of
the Swap Termination Payment paid by the terminated Swap Counterparty, the
Trustee shall deposit such Swap Termination Payment into a separate, segregated
non-interest bearing subtrust established by the Trustee and the Trustee shall,
on each Distribution Date following receipt of such Swap Termination Payment,
withdraw from such subtrust, an amount equal to the Net Swap Payment, if any,
that would have been paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust by the original
Swap Counterparty (computed in accordance with the original Swap Agreement) and
distribute such amount in accordance with Section 4.04(l)(i)-(x) of this
Agreement. Any such subtrust shall not be an asset of any REMIC. Any amounts
remaining in such subtrust shall be distributed to the holders of the Class C
Certificates on the Distribution Date following the earlier of (i) the
termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01 and (ii) March 2011.
115
On or prior to any Distribution Date, any Swap Termination Payments or Net
Swap Payments owed to the Swap Counterparty will be paid out of, or any Net Swap
Payments or Swap Termination Payments received from the Swap Counterparty will
be deposited into, the Swap Account. The Supplemental Interest Trust will not be
an asset of any REMIC. Funds in the Swap Account within the Supplemental
Interest Trust shall be distributed in the following order of priority by the
Trustee:
(i) to the Swap Counterparty, all Net Swap Payments, if any, owed
to the Swap Counterparty for such Distribution Date;
(ii) to the Swap Counterparty, any Swap Termination Payment,
other than a Defaulted Swap Termination Payment, if any, owed to the Swap

principal as described and in the same manner and order of priority as set forth
in Sections 4.04(d)(iii) through 4.04(d)(xii) in order to restore levels of the
Overcollateralization Amount, and after giving effect to distributions from

basis, the Class M-2 Certificates on a pro rata basis, the Class M-3
Certificates on a pro rata basis, the Class M-4 Certificates on a pro rata
basis, the Class M-5 Certificates on a pro rata basis, the Class M-6
Certificates on a pro rata basis, the Class B-1 Certificates on a pro rata

Certificates on a pro rata basis, in that order, any Unpaid Realized Loss Amount
for such class to the extent unpaid from Interest Funds and Principal Funds;

rata basis, any Floating Rate Certificate Carryover to the extent not paid from
Interest Funds and Principal Funds based on the amount of such unpaid Floating
Rate Certificate Carryover;
(ix) to the Swap Counterparty, any Defaulted Swap Termination
Payment owed to the Swap Counterparty to the extent not already paid; and
(x) to the Class C Certificates any remaining amount.
116
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, after giving effect to proposed
distributions on any Distribution Date, the sum of the cumulative amounts
distributed pursuant to clause (v) above and the cumulative amounts distributed
pursuant to clause (vii) above shall be limited to the aggregate amount of
cumulative Realized Losses incurred from the Cut-off Date through the last day
of the related Prepayment Period.
Upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the Swap
Account within the Supplemental Interest Trust shall be distributed pursuant to
the priorities set forth in this Section 4.04(l).
With respect to the failure of the Swap Counterparty to perform any of its
obligations under the Swap Agreement, the breach by the Swap Counterparty of any
of its representations and warranties made pursuant to the Swap Agreement, or
the termination of the Swap Agreement, the Trustee shall send any notices and
make any demands required hereunder.

interest of 10%.
(2) The Class P Certificates shall not have minimum dollar denominations or
Certificate Principal Balances and shall be issued in a minimum percentage

The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on
behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual
or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such
signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind
the Trust Fund, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased
to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such authentication and
delivery. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement,
or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth as attached
hereto executed by the Authenticating Agent by manual signature, and such
certificate of authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their
authentication. On the Closing Date, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate
the Certificates to be issued at the written direction of the Depositor, or any
Affiliate thereof.
SECTION 5.02. Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange
of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.09 hereof, a Certificate Register
for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and
(c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee
shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of Transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of
Transfer of any Certificate, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Certificates of the same Class and of like aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for
other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing
the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon
121
surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the
Trustee. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee
shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver the
Certificates that the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of Transfer
or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of Transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of Transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any Transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required. All
Certificates surrendered for registration of Transfer or exchange shall be
canceled and subsequently destroyed by a Trustee in accordance with such
Trustee's customary procedures.
(b) No Transfer of a Class C or Class P Certificate shall be made
unless such Transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt
from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and such state
securities laws. In the event that a Transfer is to be made in reliance upon an
exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance
with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect
such Transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall (except
with respect to the initial transfer of a Class C or Class P Certificate by
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Co. or, in connection with a transfer of a Class C or Class P
Certificate to the indenture trustee under an Indenture pursuant to which NIM
Notes are issued, whether or not such notes are guaranteed by the NIMs Insurer)
each certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the Transfer in
substantially the form set forth in Exhibit F (the "Transferor Certificate") and
(i) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit G (the
"Investment Letter") or Exhibit H (the "Rule 144A Letter") or (ii) there shall
be delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that such Transfer may be made
pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall
not be an expense of the Depositor or the Trustee. The Depositor shall provide
to any Holder of a Class C or Class P Certificate and any prospective transferee
designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates
and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to
satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for Transfer
of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act
pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee shall
cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced
in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information
in the possession of the Trustee regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans
and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably
request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a
Class C or Class P Certificate desiring to effect such Transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor and the Trustee against any liability
that may result if the Transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of a Certificate that is neither an ERISA Restricted
Certificate nor a Class R Certificate shall be registered unless the transferee
provides the Trustee with a representation that either (i) such transferee is
not, and is not acting for, on behalf of or with any assets of, an employee
benefit plan or other arrangement subject to Title I of ERISA or plan subject to
Section 4975 of the Code, or (ii) until the termination of the Swap Agreement,
the acquisition and holding of the Certificate are eligible for exemptive relief
under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 00-00, XXXX 00-0, XXXX
91-38, PTCE 95-60 or PTCE 96-23.
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate or Class R Certificate shall
be made to any Person unless the Trustee has received (I) a representation 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 subject to any state,
122
local, federal, non-U.S. or other law substantively similar to the foregoing
provisions of ERISA or the Code ("Similar Law") (collectively, a "Plan"), and is
not directly or indirectly acquiring such 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 that such Person is an insurance company that is
acquiring the 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
an ERISA Restricted Certificate that is a Definitive Certificate, an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, and upon which the Trustee and the NIMs
Insurer shall be entitled to rely, to the effect that the acquisition and
holding of such Certificate will not constitute or result in a nonexempt
prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a
violation of Similar Law, and will not subject the Trustee, the Servicer, the
NIMs Insurer or the Depositor to any obligation in addition to those expressly
undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Trustee, the Servicer, the NIMs Insurer or the Depositor.
For purposes of the two immediately preceding paragraphs of this Subsection
5.02(b), other than clause (II)(B) in the immediately preceding paragraph, the
representations as set forth therein shall be deemed to have been made to the
Trustee by the transferee's acceptance of the Certificate (or the acceptance by
a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in the Certificate).
Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, any purported
transfer of a Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the
Trustee of a representation or an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee
as described above shall be void and of no effect. The Trustee shall not be
under any liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of any
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b), nor shall the
Trustee 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 by
the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements. The Trustee shall be
entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any Certificate that
was in fact a Plan and that held such Certificate in violation of this Section
5.02(b) all payments made on such 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.
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify
the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate may be
purchased, transferred or sold, directly or indirectly, except in accordance
with the provisions hereof. No Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate may
be registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee
shall not register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate unless, in addition
to the certificates required to be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph
(b) above, the Trustee shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer
Affidavit") of the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit E-1 and an affidavit of the proposed transferor in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit E-2. In the absence of a contrary instruction from
the transferor of a Class R Certificate,
123
declaration (11) in Appendix A of the Transfer Affidavit may be left blank. If
the transferor requests by written notice to the Trustee prior to the date of
the proposed transfer that one of the two other forms of declaration (11) in
Appendix A of the Transfer Affidavit be used, then the requirements of this
Section 5.02(c)(ii) shall not have been satisfied unless the Transfer Affidavit
includes such other form of declaration.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Class R Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any
other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in
a Class R Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for
whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any
Transfer of a Class R Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest
in a Class R Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such
Person is not a Permitted Transferee. Further, no transfer, sale or other
disposition of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate may be made to a
person who is not a U.S. Person (within the meaning of Section 7701 of the Code)
unless such person furnishes the transferor and the Trustee with a duly
completed and effective Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor
thereto) and the Trustee consents to such transfer, sale or other disposition in
writing.
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a
Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c), then
the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Class
R Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted
by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on
such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect
to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer
was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit. The Trustee
shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Class R
Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a
Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted
Transferee, all payments made on such Class R Certificate at and after either
such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and
delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such
Certificate.
(v) At the option of the Holder of the Class R Certificate, the
Class SWR Interest, the Class LTR Interest and the residual interest in the
Upper Tier REMIC may be severed and represented by separate certificates (with
the certificate that represents the Residual Interest also representing all
rights of the Class R Certificate to distributions attributable to an interest
rate on the Class R Certificate in excess of the REMIC Pass-Through Rate);
provided, however, that such separate certification may not occur until the
Trustee and the NIMs Insurer receive an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
separate certification in the form and manner proposed would not result in the
imposition of federal tax upon the Trust Fund or any of the REMICs provided for
herein or cause any of the REMICs provided for herein to fail to qualify as a
REMIC; and provided further, that the provisions of Sections 5.02(b) and (c)
will apply to each such separate certificate as if the separate certificate were
a Class R Certificate. If, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, it is
necessary to preserve the REMIC status of any of the REMICs provided for herein,
the Class SWR Interest, the Class LTR Interest and the residual interest in the
Upper Tier REMIC shall be severed and represented by separate Certificates (with
the certificate that represents the Residual Interest also representing all
rights of the Class R Certificate to distributions attributable to an interest
rate on the Class R Certificate in excess of the REMIC Pass-Through Rate).
124
The restrictions on Transfers of a Class R Certificate set forth in this
Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend
on a Class R Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring
after delivery to the Trustee and the NIMs Insurer of an Opinion of Counsel,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the NIMs
Insurer or the Depositor, to the effect that the elimination of such
restrictions will not cause any of the REMICs provided for herein to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result
in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, any REMIC provided for herein, a
Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of
this Agreement that, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is
reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any
beneficial interest in, a Class R Certificate is not transferred, directly or
indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide
for a means to compel the Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is held by a
Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted
Transferee.
(d) The transferor of the Class R Certificate shall notify the Trustee
in writing upon the transfer of the Class R Certificate.
(e) The preparation and delivery of all certificates, opinions and
other writings referred to above in this Section 5.02 shall not be an expense of
the Issuing Entity, the Depositor or the Trustee.
SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or the
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Certificate and of the ownership thereof and (b) there is delivered to
the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each
of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trustee may require the payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the Trustee and their counsel) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership in the Issuing Entity, as if originally issued, whether or
not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. All
Certificates surrendered to the Trustee under the terms of this Section 5.03
shall be canceled and destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with its standard
procedures without liability on its part.
SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The NIMs Insurer, the Trustee and any agent of the NIMs Insurer or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the
owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided
in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the NIMs
Insurer nor the Trustee, nor any agent of the NIMs Insurer or the Trustee, shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.05. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses.
If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing
from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate
with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement
or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication that
125
such Certificateholders propose to transmit or if the NIMs Insurer or the
Depositor shall request such information in writing from the Trustee, then the
Trustee shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request,
provide the NIMs Insurer or the Depositor or such Certificateholders at such
recipients' expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of the Trust
Fund held by the Trustee, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by
receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held
accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list
of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.
SECTION 5.06. Book-Entry Certificates.
The Regular Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the
form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry
Certificates, to be delivered to the Depository by or on behalf of the
Depositor. The Class C, Class P and Class R Certificates shall be definitive
certificates. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be registered on the
Certificate Register in the name of the Depository or its nominee, and no
Certificate Owner of a Book-Entry Certificate will receive a definitive
certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest in such Certificates,
except as provided in Section 5.08. Unless and until definitive, fully
registered Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") have been issued to the
Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates pursuant to Section 5.08:
(a) the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;
(b) the Depositor, the NIMs Insurer and the Trustee may deal with the
Depository and the Depository Participants for all purposes (including the
making of distributions) as the authorized representative of the respective
Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates;
(c) registration of the Book-Entry Certificates may not be transferred
by the Trustee except to another Depository;
(d) the rights of the respective Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be exercised only through the Depository and the Depository
Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements
between the Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates and the Depository and/or the
Depository Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until
Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.08, the Depository will
make book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and
transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related Certificates to
such Depository Participants;
(e) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges
and expenses from its Depository Participants;
(f) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants; and
(g) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with
any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall
control.
For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting
actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Certificateholders
evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
any Class of Certificates, such direction or consent may be given by Certificate
Owners (acting through the Depository and the Depository Participants) owning
Book-Entry Certificates evidencing the requisite percentage of principal amount
of such Class of Certificates.
126
In the event that Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section
5.08(b), clauses (a) through (g) of this Section 5.06 shall continue to apply
with respect to all remaining Book-Entry Certificates.
SECTION 5.07. Notices to Depository.
Whenever any notice or other communication is required to be given to
Certificateholders of the Class with respect to which Book-Entry Certificates
have been issued, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been
issued to the related Certificate Owners and the Trustee shall give all such
notices and communications to the Depository.
SECTION 5.08. Definitive Certificates.
(a) If, after Book-Entry Certificates have been issued with respect to any
Certificates, (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee that the
Depository is no longer willing, qualified or able to discharge properly its
responsibilities under the Depository Agreement with respect to such
Certificates and the Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified
successor, (ii) the Depositor notifies the Trustee of its intent to terminate
the book-entry system through the Depository and, upon receipt of notice of such
intent from the Depository, the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry
Certificates agree to initiate such termination or (iii) after the occurrence
and continuation of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners of such Book-Entry
Certificates having not less than 51% of the Voting Rights evidenced by any
Class of Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trustee and the Depository in
writing through the Depository Participants that the continuation of a
book-entry system with respect to Certificates of such Class through the
Depository (or its successor) is no longer in the best interests of the
Certificate Owners of such Class, then the Trustee shall notify all Certificate
Owners of such Book-Entry Certificates and the NIMs Insurer, through the
Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners of such Class requesting the same.
The Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of
certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates.
Upon surrender to the Trustee of any such Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration,
the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver such Definitive
Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any
delay in delivery of such instructions and each may conclusively rely on, and
shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of such
Definitive Certificates, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to
be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed
by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive
Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
SECTION 5.09. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an
office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee initially designates its
offices at 000 Xxxxx XxXxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Ownit
2006-5 as offices for such purposes. The Trustee will give prompt written notice
to the Certificateholders of any change in such location of any such office or
agency.
SECTION 5.10. Authenticating Agents.
(a) One or more Authenticating Agents (each, an "Authenticating Agent") may
be appointed hereunder each of which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the
Trustee in authenticating the Certificates. Wherever reference is made in this
Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the Trustee's certificate of
authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on
127
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 any state thereof, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to
operate a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal or
state authorities. If 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. LaSalle Bank National
Association is hereby appointed as the initial Authenticating Agent. The Trustee
shall be the Authenticating Agent during any such time as no other
Authenticating Agent has been appointed and has not resigned.
(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.
Except with respect to the initial Authenticating Agent, LaSalle Bank National
Association, which shall be the Authenticating Agent for so long as it is 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 5.10, 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 5.10. No
Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability for any action taken
by it as such at the direction of the Trustee.
ARTICLE VI

SECTION 6.01. Respective Liabilities of the Depositor and the Servicer.
The Depositor and the Servicer shall each be liable in accordance herewith
only to the extent of the obligations specifically and respectively imposed upon
and undertaken by them herein.
SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Servicer.
Except as provided in the next paragraph, the Depositor and the Servicer
will each keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a
corporation, a limited liability company, a limited partnership or banking
association under the laws of the United States or under the laws of one of the
States thereof and will each obtain and preserve its qualification to do
business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its respective duties under this Agreement.
128
Any Person into which the Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which
the Depositor or the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the
business of the Depositor or the Servicer, shall be the successor of the
Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except for the
execution of an assumption agreement where such succession is not effected by
operation of law); provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to
the Servicer shall be qualified to sell mortgage loans to, and to service
mortgage loans on behalf of, Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac.
SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer and
Others.
None of 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 Issuing Entity 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, the Servicer or any such Person against any
breach of representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the
Depositor, the Servicer or any such Person from any liability that would
otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations
and duties hereunder. The Depositor or the Servicer and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Depositor or the Servicer may rely in good faith on any
document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person
respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Servicer shall be
indemnified by the Issuing Entity and held harmless against any loss, liability
or expense, incurred in connection with the performance of their duties under
this Agreement or incurred in connection with any audit, controversy or judicial
proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority or any legal action
relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability
or expense (i) incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or (ii) which does not constitute
an "unanticipated expense" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not
incidental to its respective duties hereunder and that in its opinion may
involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that either of the
Depositor or the Servicer in its discretion may undertake any such action that
it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights
and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of
such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and
liabilities of the Issuing Entity, and the Depositor and the Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account as provided by
Section 3.08 hereof.
SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of Servicer.
Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the third paragraph of Section
7.02, the second paragraph of Section 6.02 and the following paragraph of this
Section 6.04, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no
longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect delivered to the Trustee and the NIMs Insurer. No such resignation shall
become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer reasonably acceptable
to the NIMs Insurer and the Trustee is appointed and has assumed the Servicer's
responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder. Any such
resignation shall not relieve the Servicer of any of the obligations specified
in Section 7.01 and 7.02 as obligations that survive the resignation or
termination of the Servicer.
129
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the previous paragraph of this
Section 6.04, the Trustee, the Depositor and the NIMs Insurer hereby
specifically (i) consent to the pledge and assignment by the Servicer of all the
Servicer's right, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement to the
Servicing Rights Pledgee, if any, for the benefit of certain lenders, and (ii)
agree that upon delivery to the Trustee by the Servicing Rights Pledgee of a
letter signed by the Servicer whereby the Servicer shall resign as Servicer
under this Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be set
forth in Section 3.04 above, the Trustee shall appoint the Servicing Rights
Pledgee or its designee as successor servicer, provided that the Servicer's
resignation will not be effective unless, at the time of such appointment, the
Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee (i) meets the requirements of a
successor servicer under Section 7.02 of this Agreement (including being
acceptable to the Rating Agencies), provided, that the consent and approval of
the Trustee, the Depositor and the NIMS Insurer shall be deemed to have been
given to the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee, and the Servicing Rights
Pledgee and its designee are hereby agreed to be acceptable to the Trustee, the
Depositor and the NIMS Insurer and (ii) agrees to be subject to the terms of
this Agreement. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Servicer
are transferred to a successor servicer, the entire amount of the Servicing Fee
and other compensation payable to the Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter
be payable to such successor servicer.
SECTION 6.05. Errors and Omissions Insurance; Fidelity Bonds.
The Servicer shall, for so long as it acts as servicer under this
Agreement, obtain and maintain in force (a) a policy or policies of insurance
covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as servicer
hereunder, and (b) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and
agents. Each such policy or policies and bond shall, together, comply with the
requirements from time to time of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac for Persons
performing servicing for mortgage loans purchased by Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac
unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from the Sponsor.
The Servicer shall provide the Trustee and the NIMs Insurer, upon request and
reasonable notice, with copies of such policies and fidelity bond or a
certification from the insurance provider evidencing such policies and fidelity
bond. The Servicer may be deemed to have complied with this provision if an
Affiliate of the Servicer has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond
coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the
coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. In the event that any such
policy or bond ceases to be in effect, the Servicer shall use its reasonable
best efforts to obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer
or issuer meeting the requirements set forth above as of the date of such
replacement. Each year, together with the Annual Statement as to Compliance
delivered pursuant to Section 3.17, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to
the Trustee proof of coverage of the fidelity bond and errors and omissions
insurance policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer that the surety
and the insurer shall endeavor to notify the Trustee within thirty (30) days
prior to such fidelity bond's errors and omissions insurance policy's
termination or material modification.
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT; TERMINATION OF SERVICER
SECTION 7.01. Events of Default.
"Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one of the following
events:
(i) any failure by the Servicer to make any Advance, to deposit
in the Collection Account or the Certificate Account or remit to the Trustee any

required to be made under the terms of this Agreement,
130
which failure shall continue unremedied for three Business Days and, with
respect to a payment required to be made under Section 4.01 hereof, for one

been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor; or
(ii) any failure by the Servicer to observe or perform in any
material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the
Servicer contained in this Agreement or any representation or warranty shall
prove to be untrue, which failure or breach shall continue unremedied for a
period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall
have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the
Trustee and the Depositor by the NIMs Insurer or the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates;
or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator in
any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, 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 consecutive days;
or
(iv) consent by the Servicer to the appointment of a receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or all or
substantially all of the property of the Servicer; or
(v) admission by a Servicer in writing of its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of, or
commence a voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency or reorganization
statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily
suspend payment of its obligations; or
(vi) any failure by the Servicer to duly perform, within the
required time period, its obligations under Sections 3.17, 3.18 and 3.27 of this
Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of ten (10) days
after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by any other party to this
Agreement; or
(vii) the aggregate amount of cumulative Realized Losses incurred
since the Cut-off Date through the last day of the related Accrual Period
divided by the Pool Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date exceeds the
applicable percentages set forth below with respect to such Distribution Date:
DISTRIBUTION DATE OCCURRING IN PERCENTAGE
------------------------------ ----------
August 2009 through July 2010 4.50%
August 2010 through July 2011 7.00%
August 2011 through July 2012 9.25%
August 2012 and thereafter 9.95%
If an Event of Default shall occur with respect to the Servicer, then, and
in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have
been remedied within the applicable grace period, or solely with respect to
clause (i) above by 5:00 p.m. on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Trustee may,
or at the direction of the NIMs Insurer or the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates
(with the written consent of the NIMs Insurer, except after a NIMs Insurer
Default), shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer and the Servicing Rights
Pledgee, if any
131
(with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and obligations
of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the
proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. On or
after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and
power of the Servicer hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or
otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee. To the extent the Event
of Default resulted from the failure of the Servicer to make a required Advance,
the Trustee shall thereupon make any Advance described in Section 4.01 hereof
subject to Section 3.04 hereof. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered
to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or
assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. Unless
expressly provided in such written notice, no such termination shall affect any
obligation of the Servicer to pay amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII. The
Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of
the Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without
limitation, the transfer to the Trustee of all cash amounts which shall at the
time be credited to the Collection Account, or thereafter be received with
respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer and the Trustee shall promptly
notify the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of an Event of Default or an event
that, with notice, passage of time, other action or any combination of the
foregoing would be an Event of Default, such notice to be provided in any event
within two Business Days of such occurrence.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Servicer
hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection
of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan that was due prior to the notice
terminating the Servicer's rights and obligations as Servicer hereunder and
received after such notice, that portion thereof to which the Servicer would
have been entitled pursuant to Section 3.08(a), and any other amounts payable to
the Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination
of its activities hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
upon termination of the Servicer hereunder, any liabilities of the Servicer
which accrued prior to such termination shall survive such termination.
SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall, to the extent provided in
Section 3.04, be the successor to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under
this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall
be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto
placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and applicable law
including the obligation to make advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As
compensation therefor, subject to the last paragraph of Section 7.01, the
Trustee shall be entitled to all fees, compensation and reimbursement for costs
and expenses relating to the Mortgage Loans that the Servicer would have been
entitled to hereunder if the Servicer had continued to act hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the
Servicer in accordance with Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee may, if it shall be
unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making
Advances pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof or if it is otherwise unable to so act,
appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which
successor shall be approved by the NIMs Insurer and which does not adversely
affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency as the
successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. Any successor
Servicer shall be an institution that is acceptable to the NIMs Insurer and is a
Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing, that has a
net worth of at least $15,000,000, and that is willing to service the Mortgage
Loans and executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement
accepting such delegation and assignment, that contains an assumption by such
Person of the rights, powers, duties,
132
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer (other than
liabilities of the Servicer under Section 6.03 hereof incurred prior to
termination of the Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if
originally named as a party to this Agreement; and provided further that each
Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect
immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or
reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation. No appointment of a
successor to the Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the Trustee shall
have consented thereto, prior written consent of the NIMs Insurer is obtained
(provided, that such prior written consent shall not be required in the event
that the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee is so appointed as successor
servicer) and written notice of such proposed appointment shall have been
provided by the Trustee to each Certificateholder. The Trustee shall not resign
as servicer until a successor servicer has been appointed and has accepted such
appointment. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, the
Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject
to Section 3.04 hereof, act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In
connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage
Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such
compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer hereunder. The
Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the
Trustee nor any other successor servicer shall be deemed to be in default
hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any
distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any
delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case
caused by the failure of the Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in
delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.
Any successor to the Servicer as servicer shall give notice to the
Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service
as servicer maintain in force the policy or policies that the Servicer is
required to maintain pursuant to Section 6.05.
In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Servicer hereunder (including by reason of any Event of Default),
notwithstanding anything to the contrary above or anything to the contrary which
may be set forth in Section 3.04, the Trustee, the Depositor and the NIMS
Insurer hereby agree that within ten Business Days of delivery to the Trustee by
the Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter signed by the Servicer whereby the
Servicer shall resign as Servicer under this Agreement, or within ten days of
Trustee's termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 or 7.02, the
Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee shall be appointed as successor
servicer; provided that at the time of such appointment (i) the Servicing Rights
Pledgee or such designee meets the requirements of a successor servicer set
forth above in this Section 7.02 (provided that the consent and approval of the
Trustee, the Depositor and the NIMs Insurer shall be deemed to have been given
to the Servicing Rights Pledgee or its designee, and the Servicing Rights
Pledgee and its designee are hereby agreed to be acceptable to the Trustee, the
Depositor and the NIMs Insurer) and (ii) the Servicing Rights Pledgee or such
designee agrees to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the
Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders, the Depositor and to each Rating Agency.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders and the NIMs Insurer
notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such
Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
133
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 8.01. Duties of the Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent
person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such
person's own affairs. In case an Event of Default or other default by the
Servicer or the Depositor hereunder shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee
shall, at the written direction of the majority of the Certificateholders or the
NIMs Insurer, or may, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights
of the Certificateholders or the NIMs Insurer under this Agreement by a suit,
action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid
of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement
of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee, being advised by
counsel and subject to the foregoing, shall deem most effectual to protect and
enforce any of the rights of the Trustee, the NIMs Insurer and the
Certificateholders.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision
of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their
face to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not
to conform on its face to the requirements of this Agreement in a material
manner, the Trustee shall notify the person providing such instrument of such
non-conformance and if the instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, the
Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders and the NIMs
Insurer and take such further action as directed by the Certificateholders and
the NIMs Insurer.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or
its own misconduct, its negligent failure to perform its obligations in
compliance with this Agreement, or any liability that would be imposed by reason
of its willful misfeasance or bad faith; provided, however, that:
(i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the
curing of all such Events of Default that may have occurred, the duties and
obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions
of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable, individually or as Trustee,
except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically
set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Agreement against the Trustee and the Trustee may conclusively rely,
as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Agreement that it reasonably believed in
good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper
authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder;
(ii) the Trustee shall not, individually or as Trustee, be liable
for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or
Responsible Officers of the Trustee unless the Trustee was negligent or acted in
bad faith or with willful misfeasance; and
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable, individually or as
Trustee, with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it
in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
134
NIMs Insurer or the Holders in accordance with this Agreement relating to the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under
this Agreement.
SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) the Trustee may request and conclusively rely upon and shall
be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its choice 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 Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or
within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(iv) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and
after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, the Trustee
shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in
any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing so to do by the NIMs Insurer or the Holders of each Class
of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of such Class;
(v) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents,
custodians, accountants or attorneys or independent contractors and the Trustee
will not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any
agent, custodian, accountant, attorney or independent contractor appointed with
due care by it hereunder;
(vi) the Trustee shall not be required to expend its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of
such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is not assured to it;
(vii) the Trustee shall not be liable, individually or as
Trustee, for any loss on any investment of funds pursuant to this Agreement
(other than as issuer of the investment security);
(viii) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an
Event of Default until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received
written notice thereof;
(ix) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to make any investigation
of matters arising hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation
hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
NIMs Insurer or the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, unless the NIMs Insurer or such Certificateholders shall have offered
to the Trustee reasonable security or
135
indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that
may be incurred therein or thereby; and
(x) if requested by the Servicer, the Trustee may appoint the
Servicer as the Trustee's attorney-in-fact in order to carry out and perform
certain activities that are necessary or appropriate for the servicing and
administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement. Such
appointment shall be evidenced by a power of attorney in such form as may be
agreed to by the Trustee and the Servicer. The Trustee shall have no liability
for any action or inaction of the Servicer in connection with such power of
attorney and the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Servicer for all
liabilities, costs, expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the
Servicer's use or misuse of such powers of attorney.
(b) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the
Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by the Trustee without
the possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the
trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or
proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the
benefit of all the Holders of the Certificates, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement. The Trustee shall have no duty (A) to see to any recording,
filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or
any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security
interest, or to see to the maintenance of any rerecording, refiling or
redepositing, as applicable, thereof, (B) to see to any insurance or (C) to see
to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge
or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied
against, any part of the Trust Fund.
SECTION 8.03. 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 representation as to
the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of any Mortgage Loan, or any
related document other than with respect to the execution and authentication of
the Certificates, if it so executed or authorized the Certificates. The Trustee
shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or the
Servicer 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 or the
Certificate Account by the Depositor or the Servicer.
SECTION 8.04. 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 as it would have if it was not the
Trustee.
SECTION 8.05. Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
The Trustee shall be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date the
Trustee Fee. The Trustee shall be entitled to compensation (which shall not be
limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an
express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts
hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and
duties hereunder of the Trustee.
136
SECTION 8.06. Indemnification and Expenses of Trustee.
(a) LaSalle (as Trustee and in its individual capacity) and its
respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to
indemnification from the Issuing Entity for any loss, liability or expense
incurred in connection with any audit, controversy or judicial proceeding
relating to a governmental authority or any legal proceeding or incurred without
negligence or willful misconduct on their part, arising out of, or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of the trusts created hereunder or in
connection with the performance of its respective duties hereunder, including
any applicable fees and expenses payable hereunder, and the costs and expenses
of defending themselves against any claim in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, provided that:
(i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee shall have given
the Depositor and the Holders written notice thereof promptly after the Trustee
shall have knowledge thereof; provided that failure to so notify shall not
relieve the Issuing Entity of the obligation to indemnify the Trustee; however,
any reasonable delay by the Trustee to provide written notice to the Depositor
and the Holders promptly after the Trustee shall have obtained knowledge of a
claim shall not relieve the Issuing Entity of the obligation to indemnify the
Trustee under this Section 8.06;
(ii) while maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee
shall cooperate and consult fully with the Depositor in preparing such defense;
(iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
8.06, the Issuing Entity shall not be liable for settlement of any such claim by
the Trustee entered into without the prior consent of the Depositor, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and
(iv) any such loss, liability or expense to be indemnified by the
Issuing Entity must constitute an "unanticipated expense" of the Trust Fund
within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii).
The provisions of this Section 8.06 shall survive any termination of this
Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee and shall be construed
to include, but not be limited to any loss, liability or expense under any
environmental law.
(b) The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Trust Fund
of all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee in accordance with this Agreement (including fees and expenses of its
counsel and all persons not regularly in its employment), except any such
expenses, disbursements and advances that either (i) arise from its negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct or (ii) do not constitute "unanticipated
expenses" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii).
(c) The Trustee's right to indemnification and reimbursement shall be
subject to a cap of $400,000 in the aggregate in any calendar year, excluding
(i) any Servicing Transfer Costs and (ii) any costs, damages or expenses
incurred by the Trustee in connection with any "high cost" home loans or any
predatory or abusive lending laws, which amounts shall in no case be subject to
any such limitation; provided, however, that such cap shall apply only if NIM
Notes have been issued and shall cease to apply after the date on which any NIM
Notes are paid in full; provided further, however, that amounts incurred by the
Trustee in excess of such annual limit in any calendar year shall be payable to
the Trustee in succeeding calendar years, subject to such annual limit for each
applicable calendar year. Any amounts reimbursable hereunder and all amounts
which the NIMs Insurer is entitled to be paid or
137
reimbursed shall have been paid or reimbursed. Any amounts not in excess of this
cap may be withdrawn by the Trustee from the Certificate Account at any time.
(d) The Custodian shall be entitled to indemnification and
reimbursement of expenses to the same extent as the Trustee is entitled to such
amounts pursuant to subsection (a) and (b) of this Section 8.06, without regard
to subsection (c) of this Section 8.06.
SECTION 8.07. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall, at all times, be a corporation or association
organized and doing business under the laws of a 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, subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating that would
not cause any of the Rating Agencies to reduce their respective ratings of any
Class of Certificates below the ratings issued on the Closing Date (or having
provided such security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such
reduction) and reasonably acceptable to the NIMs Insurer. If such corporation or
association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section 8.07 the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.07, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.08 hereof. The corporation or
national banking association serving as Trustee may have normal banking and
trust relationships with the Depositor, the NIMs Insurer and their respective
Affiliates; provided, however, that such corporation cannot be an Affiliate of
the Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Servicer.
SECTION 8.08. Resignation and Removal of Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby
created by (1) giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the
Servicer and the NIMs Insurer by mailing notice of resignation by first class
mail, postage prepaid, to the Certificateholders at their addresses appearing on
the Certificate Register and each Rating Agency, not less than 60 days before
the date specified in such notice when, subject to Section 8.09, such
resignation is to take effect, and (2) acceptance of appointment by a successor
trustee acceptable to the NIMs Insurer in accordance with Section 8.09 and
meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.07. If no successor trustee
shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after
the giving of such notice or resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.07 hereof and shall fail to resign after
written request thereto by the Depositor or the NIMs Insurer or (ii) the Trustee
shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent,
or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any
public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or
(iii)(A) a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which
the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located, (B) the imposition of such tax would
be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee and (C) the Trustee fails
to reimburse the Trust Fund against such tax, then the Depositor or the NIMs
Insurer may remove the Trustee and the Depositor with the consent of the NIMS
insurer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee and
one copy of which shall be delivered to the successor trustee.
138
The Holders evidencing at least 51% of the Voting Rights of all Classes of
Certificates, with the consent of the NIMs Insurer, or the NIMs Insurer upon
failure of the Trustee to perform its obligations hereunder may at any time
remove the Trustee and the Depositor shall appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized (or by the NIMs Insurer), one complete
set of which instruments shall be delivered by the successor trustee to the
Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the
successor so appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to
the NIMs Insurer and each Rating Agency by the successor trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.08 shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in
Section 8.09 hereof.
SECTION 8.09. Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.08 hereof shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor
trustee, the NIMs Insurer and the Servicer an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the
like effect as if originally named as trustee herein.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
8.09 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.07 hereof and its appointment shall
not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section 8.09, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee
hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail such
notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee,
the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Depositor.
SECTION 8.10. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
8.07 hereof without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding (except for the execution of an assumption agreement where such
succession is not effected by operation of law).
SECTION 8.11. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be
located, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and
shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons
approved by the Trustee and the NIMs Insurer to act as co-trustee or co-trustees
jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or
any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust
Fund or any part thereof,
139
whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section
8.11, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and
the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Any such co-trustee or separate
trustee shall be subject to the written approval of the Servicer and the NIMs
Insurer. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of any co-trustee;
provided the appointment of a co-trustee shall not relieve the Trustee of its
obligations hereunder. If the Servicer and the NIMs Insurer shall not have
joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request
to do so, or in the case 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 8.07 and no notice to
Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee
shall be required under Section 8.09.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) 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 (it
being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to
act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent
that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are
to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the 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 singly by such separate trustee
or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) The Trustee, with the consent of the NIMs Insurer, may at
any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed
to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as
effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the
Servicer, the NIMs Insurer and the Depositor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee
its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on
its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
SECTION 8.12. Tax Matters.
(a) It is intended that each of the REMICs provided for herein shall
constitute, and that the affairs of the Trust Fund shall be conducted so as to
allow each such REMIC to qualify as, a
140
"real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with
the REMIC Provisions. It is also intended that each of the grantor trusts
provided for in Section 2.07 hereof shall constitute, and that the affairs of
the Trust Fund shall be conducted so as to allow each such grantor trust to
qualify as, a grantor trust under the provisions of Subpart E, Part I of
Subchapter J of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee
covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is hereby
appointed to act as agent) on behalf of each of the REMICs provided for herein
and that in such capacity it shall: (a) 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 or any successor form adopted by the
Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed
with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities
income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to each of
the REMICs and grantor trusts provided for herein, containing such information
and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or
local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to
Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in
such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty days of the Closing
Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Forms
8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and
telephone number of the person that the holders of the Certificates may contact
for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information
as may be required by such Form, and update such information at the time or
times in the manner required by the Code for each of the REMICs provided for
herein; (c) make or cause to be made elections, on behalf of each of the REMICs
provided for herein to be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return of such
REMICs for their first taxable years (and, if necessary, under applicable state
law); (d) 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 and reports as and when required to be
provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions or other applicable
law, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue
discount using the Prepayment Assumption; (e) provide information necessary for
the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Class R Certificate to a
Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or other middleman) of a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or a
pass through entity in which a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee 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); (f) to the
extent that they are under its control conduct the affairs of each of the REMICs
and grantor trusts provided for herein at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding so as to maintain the status of each of the REMICs provided for
herein as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and the status of each of the
grantor trusts provided for herein as a grantor trust under Subpart E, Part I of
Subchapter J of the Code; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or
omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of
any of the REMICs provided for herein or result in the imposition of tax upon
any such REMIC; (h) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to
take any action that would cause the termination of the grantor trust status
under Subpart E, Part I of Subchapter J of the Code of any of the grantor trusts
provided for herein or result in the imposition of tax upon any such grantor

8.12(a), the amount of any federal, state and local taxes, including prohibited
transaction taxes as described below, imposed on each of the REMICs provided for
herein prior to the termination of the Trust Fund when and as the same shall be
due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or any other
appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and
shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted
by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (j) sign or cause to be signed
federal, state or local income tax or information returns; (k) maintain records
relating to each of the REMICs provided for herein, including but not limited to

limitations relating to any tax item of any of the REMICs provided for herein,
and otherwise act on behalf of each of the REMICs provided for herein in
relation to any tax matter involving any of such REMICs or any controversy
involving the Trust Fund.
In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein,
the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee within 10
days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee requests in
writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and
offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price,
yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates and
the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee
promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information or data
that the Trustee may, from time to time, request in order to enable the Trustee
to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby agrees to
indemnify the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses
of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that
result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided,
accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely basis.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of any of
the REMICs provided for herein as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on
the "net income from foreclosure property" of any of such REMICs as defined in
Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to the Trust Fund after the
Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is
imposed, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by
(i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by
the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement or as a result of the
location of the Trustee, (ii) any party hereto (other than the Trustee) to the
extent any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by such other
party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or as a result of the
location of such other party or (iii) in all other cases, or in the event that
any liable party here fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses
(i) or (ii), any such tax will be paid first with amounts (other than amounts
derived by the Trust Fund from a payment on the Cap Contracts or amounts
received by the Supplemental Interest Trust as payments on the Swap Agreement)
otherwise to be distributed to the Class R Certificateholders (pro rata)
pursuant to Section 4.04, and second with amounts (other than amounts derived by
the Trust Fund from a payment on the Cap Contracts or amounts received by the
Supplemental Interest Trust as payments on the Swap Agreement) otherwise to be
distributed to all other Certificateholders in the following order of priority:
first, to the Class C Certificates (pro rata), second to the Class B-3
Certificates (pro rata), third to the Class B-2 Certificates (pro rata), fourth
to the Class B-1 Certificates (pro rata), fifth to the Class M-6 Certificates
(pro rata), sixth to the Class M-5 Certificates (pro rata), seventh to the Class

pursuant to such instruction to retain on any Distribution Date, from the
Holders of the Class R Certificate (and, if necessary, from the Holders of all
other Certificates in the priority specified in the preceding sentence), funds
otherwise distributable to such Holders in an amount sufficient to pay such tax.
The Trustee agrees to notify promptly in writing the party liable for any such
tax of the amount thereof and the due date for the payment thereof.
(b) Each of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee agrees not to
take or omit to take knowingly or intentionally, any action or omit to take any
action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any of the REMICs
provided for herein or result in the imposition of a tax upon any of the REMICs
provided for herein.

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01. Termination upon Liquidation or Auction of all Mortgage
Loans.
(a) Subject to Section 9.03, the obligations and responsibilities of
the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the
Issuing Entity shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) an Optional Termination
and (b) the later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and
(ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be
distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement, as applicable. In no event shall
the trusts created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) 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 and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
(b) On or before the Determination Date following the Initial Optional
Termination Date, the Trustee shall attempt to terminate the Trust Fund by
conducting an auction of all of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties via a
solicitation of bids from at least three (3) bidders, each of which shall be a
nationally recognized participant in mortgage finance (the "Auction"). In
addition, the Trustee will also solicit a bid from each Holder of a Class C
Certificate. The Depositor and the Trustee agree to work in good faith to
develop bid procedures in advance of the Initial Optional Termination Date to
govern the operation of the Auction. The Trustee shall be entitled to retain an
investment banking firm and/or other agents in connection with the Auction, the
cost of which shall be included in the Optional Termination Price (unless an
Optional Termination does not occur in which case such costs shall be an expense
of the Trust Fund). The Trustee shall accept the highest bid received at the
Auction; provided that the amount of such bid equals or exceeds the Optional
Termination Price. The Trustee shall determine the Optional Termination Price
based upon information provided by (a) the Servicer with respect to the amounts
described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the definition of "Optional Termination
Price" and (b) the Depositor with respect to the information described in clause
(iii) of the definition of "Optional Termination Price"; provided, however, that
with respect to the Swap Termination Payment portion of the amounts described in
clause (iv) of the definition of "Optional Termination Price", the Trustee shall
notify the Swap Counterparty at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date
of the Auction of its intention to conduct such Auction and to request from the
Swap Counterparty a good faith written estimate (which may be delivered
electronically) of the Swap Termination Payment based upon termination of the
Swap Agreement on or subsequent to the date of the Auction but not later than
two (2) Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date. The Trustee may
conclusively rely upon the information provided to it in accordance with the
immediately preceding sentence and shall not have any liability for the failure
of any party to provide such information. The Trustee shall notify the bidders
of the estimated Swap Termination Payment received by the Trustee from the Swap
Counterparty and that the winning bidder will be responsible for the final Swap
Termination Payment which may be higher than such estimated Swap Termination
Payment. If an Optional Termination occurs as a result of the Auction, the
Trustee shall immediately notify the Swap Counterparty that an Optional
Termination has occurred and that final distributions on the Certificates will
be made on the immediately following Distribution Date. Upon such notice, the
Swap Counterparty shall inform the Trustee in writing (which may be delivered
electronically) of the final Swap Termination Payment amount owed to the Swap
Counterparty and the Trustee shall communicate the final Swap Termination
Payment amount to the winning bidder.
If an Optional Termination does not occur as a result of the Auction's
failure to achieve the Optional Termination Price or otherwise, the NIMs
Insurer, if any, may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties,
which would result in an early retirement of the Certificates and the
termination of the Trust Fund. If the Auction fails to achieve the Optional
Termination Price and the NIMs Insurer, if any, fails to
143
exercise its option to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties,
the Servicer may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at the
Optional Termination Price, which similarly would result in an early retirement
of the Certificates and the termination of the Trust Fund. Upon the exercise of
such option by the NIMs Insurer or the Servicer, as the case may be, the Trustee
shall immediately notify the Swap Counterparty that an Optional Termination has
occurred and that final distributions on the Certificates will be made on the
immediately following Distribution Date. Upon such notice, the Swap Counterparty
shall inform the Trustee of the final Swap Termination Payment amount owed to
the Swap Counterparty. In connection with any such optional termination, the
Optional Termination Price shall be delivered to the Trustee no later than two
Business Days immediately preceding the related Distribution Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Optional Termination Amount
paid to the Trustee by the winning bidder at the Auction or by the NIMs Insurer,
if any, or by the Servicer, as applicable, shall be deposited by the Trustee
directly into the Certificate Account immediately upon receipt. Upon any
termination as a result of an Auction, the Trustee shall, out of the Optional
Termination Amount deposited into the Certificate Account, (x) reimburse the
Trustee for its costs and expenses necessary to conduct the Auction and any
other unreimbursed amounts owing to it and (y) pay to the Servicer, the
aggregate amount of any unreimbursed out-of-pocket costs and expenses owed to
the Servicer and any unpaid or unreimbursed Servicing Fees, Advances and
Servicing Advances. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, only an
amount equal to the Optional Termination Price, reduced by the portion thereof
consisting of the sum of (x) any Swap Termination Payment and (y) the amount of
any unpaid Net Swap Payments that would not otherwise be funded by the Optional
Termination Price but for clause (iv) of the definition of "Optional Termination
Price" (such portion, the "Swap Optional Termination Payment"), shall be made
available for distribution to the Certificates. The Swap Optional Termination
Payment shall be withdrawn by the Trustee from the Certificate Account and
remitted to the Supplemental Interest Trust for payment to the Swap
Counterparty, it being understood that the Swap Termination Payment portion of
such Swap Optional Termination Payment shall be an amount equal to the final
Swap Termination Payment amount determined by the Swap Counterparty upon its
receipt of notice from the Trustee of the Optional Termination of the Trust as
described above in this Section 9.01(b). The Swap Optional Termination Payment
shall not be part of any REMIC and shall not be paid into any account which is
part of any REMIC.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (b) above, in
the event that the Trustee receives the written opinion of a nationally
recognized participant in mortgage finance acceptable to the Sponsor that the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties to be included in the Auction will not be
saleable at a price sufficient to achieve the Optional Termination Price, the
Trustee need not conduct the Auction. In such event, the Servicer shall have the
option to purchase the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at the Optional
Termination Price as of the Initial Optional Termination Date.
SECTION 9.02. Final Distribution on the Certificates.
If on any Determination Date, (i) the Trustee determines that there are no
Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other
than the funds in the Collection Account, the Trustee shall send a final
distribution notice promptly to each Certificateholder and the NIMs Insurer or
(ii) the Trustee determines that a Class of Certificates shall be retired after
a final distribution on such Class, the Trustee shall notify the
Certificateholders as soon as practicable after such Determination Date that the
final distribution in retirement of such Class of Certificates is scheduled to
be made on the immediately following Distribution Date. Any final distribution
made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence will be made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee
specified in such notice.
Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution
Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of
the final distribution and cancellation,
144
shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed no
later than the last calendar day of the month immediately preceding the month of
such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date
upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation
and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the location
of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made,
and (c) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is
not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of
the Certificates at the office therein specified. The Trustee will give such
notice to the NIMs Insurer and each Rating Agency at the time such notice is
given to Certificateholders.
In the event such notice is given, the Servicer shall remit all funds in
the Collection Account to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account on
the Servicer Remittance Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in
respect of the Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust
Fund, certification to the Trustee that such required amount has been deposited
in the Trust Fund and the receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release
therefor, the Trustee shall promptly release the Mortgage Files for the Mortgage
Loans.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall
cause to be distributed to Certificateholders of each Class the amounts
allocable to such Certificates held in the Certificate Account in the order and
priority set forth in Section 4.04 hereof on the final Distribution Date and in
proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.
In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender
Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the
above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice
to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not
have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps,
or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that remain a part of
the Trust Fund. If within one year after the second notice all Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholders
shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund that
remain subject hereto. Upon payment to the Class R Certificateholders of such
funds and assets, the Trustee shall not have any further duties or obligations
with respect thereto.
SECTION 9.03. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event the Trustee completes an Optional Termination as
provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with
the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied with
an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the NIMs Insurer or Servicer, as
applicable to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the
requirements of this Section 9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes
on "prohibited transactions" of any of the REMICs provided for herein as defined
in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any of the REMICs provided for herein
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
(i) The Depositor shall establish a 90-day liquidation period and
notify the Trustee thereof, and the Trustee shall in turn specify the first day
of such period in a statement attached to the final tax returns of each of the
REMICs provided for herein pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.860F-1. The
Depositor shall satisfy all the requirements of a qualified liquidation under
Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel obtained at the expense of the Servicer;
145
(ii) During such 90-day liquidation period, and at or prior to
the time of making the final payment on the Certificates, the Depositor as agent
of the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund for cash; and
(iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed
or credited, to the Class R Certificateholders all cash on hand (other than cash
retained to meet outstanding claims), and the Trust Fund shall terminate at that
time, whereupon the Trustee shall have no further duties or obligations with
respect to sums distributed or credited to the Class R Certificateholders.
(b) By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof
hereby authorize the Depositor to specify the 90-day liquidation period for the
Trust Fund, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor
Certificateholders.
(c) Upon the written request of the Depositor, the Trustee as agent
for each REMIC hereby agrees to adopt and sign a plan of complete liquidation as
provided to it by the Depositor. The Trustee's obligation to adopt and sign such
plan of complete liquidation is subject to the Trustee's receipt of the Opinion
of Counsel referred to in Section 9.03(a)(i). In addition, the Trustee shall
take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by
the Depositor.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01. Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee, with the consent of the NIMs Insurer and without the
consent of any of the Certificateholders to,
(i) to cure any ambiguity or correct any mistake,
(ii) to correct, modify or supplement any provision herein which
may be inconsistent with the Prospectus Supplement or any other provision
herein,
(iii) to add any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under this Agreement, or
(iv) to modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms
or provisions contained in this Agreement, provided, however, that, in the case
of clauses (iii) and (iv), such amendment will not, as evidenced by an Opinion
of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to such effect, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Holder; provided, further, however, that
such amendment will be deemed to not adversely affect in any material respect
the interest of any Holder if the Person requesting such amendment obtains a
letter from each Rating Agency stating that such amendment will not result in a
reduction or withdrawal of its rating of any Class of the Certificates, it being
understood and agreed that any such letter in and of itself will not represent a
determination as to the materiality of any such amendment and will represent a
determination only as to the credit issues affecting any such rating. In
addition, 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
comply with the provisions of Regulation AB.
146
Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the
Certificateholders, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee may at any time
and from time to time amend this Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of
its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to maintain
the qualification of any of the REMICs provided for herein as REMICs under the
Code or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on the Trust
Fund or any of the REMICs provided for herein pursuant to the Code that would be
a claim against the Trust Fund at any time prior to the final redemption of the
Certificates, provided that the Trustee and the NIMs Insurer shall have been
provided an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, which opinion shall be
an expense of the party requesting such amendment but in any case shall not be
an expense of the Trustee or the NIMs Insurer, to the effect that such action is
necessary or appropriate to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize
the risk of the imposition of such a tax.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee and the Holders of the Certificates affected thereby
evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the Voting Rights, with the consent of the
NIMs Insurer, 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; provided, however, that no
such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing
of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent
of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than
as described in (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such
Class evidencing 66 2/3% or more of the Voting Rights of such Class or (iii)
reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are
required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of
all such Certificates then outstanding.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall
not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first
received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, which opinion shall be
an expense of the party requesting such amendment but in any case shall not be
an expense of the Trustee, to the effect that such amendment is permitted
hereunder and will not cause the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, any of
the REMICs provided for herein or the Certificateholders or cause any of the
REMICs provided for herein to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding. A copy of such Opinion of Counsel shall be
provided to the NIMs Insurer.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring
the consent of Certificateholders, 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 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.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an
amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to the Trustee
that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and
that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and
(ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the
immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this
Section 10.01.
147
The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any supplement,
modification or waiver which affects its rights, duties or obligations
hereunder.
The Trustee shall not enter into any amendment to this Agreement that would
have a materially adverse effect on the Swap Counterparty without first
obtaining the consent of the Swap Counterparty.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.01, the Trustee
and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor and its counsel
to enter into such amendments or modifications to this Agreement as may be
necessary to comply with Regulation AB and any interpretation thereof by the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
SECTION 10.02. 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.
SECTION 10.03. Governing Law.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE
SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO
BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES
THEREOF.
SECTION 10.04. Intention of Parties.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the
Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, assignments of Mortgages, title insurance policies
and any modifications, extensions and/or assumption agreements and private
mortgage insurance policies relating to the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to
the Trustee be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof to the Trustee. It
is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a
pledge thereof by the Depositor to the Trustee. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the
property of the Depositor, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or
deemed to create a security interest in such assets, then (i) this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance provided for in
this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Depositor
to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a security
interest in all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund, whether now owned
or hereafter acquired.
The Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall, to the
extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to
ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the
assets of the Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be
maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. The Depositor shall
arrange for filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in
connection with any security interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders.
148

SECTION 10.06. Severability of Provisions.
If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of
this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the
remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall
in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this
Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.
149
SECTION 10.07. Assignment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as
provided pursuant to Section 6.02, this Agreement may not be assigned by the
Servicer without the prior written consent of the Trustee and Depositor.
SECTION 10.08. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to
terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder's
legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or winding up of the Trust
Fund, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties
hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided
herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the
Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein
set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so as to
constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an
association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third
party by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to
any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself
of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding
in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of an Event
of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, the Holders
of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by
the Certificates shall also have made written request to the Trustee to
institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder
and shall have offered to the Trustee such indemnity satisfactory to it as it
may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein
or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute any
such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being
expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or
themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates and/or the NIMs
Insurer, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other
such Holder and/or the NIMs Insurer or to enforce any right under this
Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the common benefit of
all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of
this Section 10.08, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be
entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
SECTION 10.09. Inspection and Audit Rights.
The Servicer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any
representative of the Depositor or the Trustee during the Servicer's normal
business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other
papers of the Servicer relating to the Mortgage Loans, to make copies and
extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified
public accountants selected by the Depositor or the Trustee and to discuss its
affairs, finances and accounts relating to the Mortgage Loans with its officers,
employees, agents, counsel and independent public accountants (and by this
provision the Servicer hereby authorizes such accountants to discuss with such
representative such affairs, finances and accounts), all at such reasonable
times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Any out-of-pocket expense
incident to the exercise by the Depositor or the Trustee of any right under this
Section 10.09 shall be borne by the party requesting such inspection (except in
the case of the Trustee, in
150
which case such expenses shall be borne by the requesting Certificateholder);
all other such expenses shall be borne by the Servicer.
SECTION 10.10. Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid.
It is the intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall not be
personally liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests in the
Trust Fund represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any reason
whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof by the
Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall be deemed fully
paid.
SECTION 10.11. Third Party Rights.
Each of the NIMs Insurer and the Swap Counterparty shall be deemed a
third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a
party hereto, and shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement.
The Cap Contract Counterparty shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of
this Agreement regarding provisions related to payments owed to the Cap Contract
Counterparty or to the Supplemental Interest Trust on behalf of the Cap Contract
Counterparty.
SECTION 10.12. Additional Rights of the NIMs Insurer.
(a) Each party to this Agreement, any agent thereof and any successor
thereto shall furnish to the NIMs Insurer a copy of any notice, direction,
demand, opinion, schedule, list, certificate, report, statement, filing,
information, data or other communication provided by it or on its behalf to any
other Person pursuant to this Agreement at the same time, in the same form and
in the same manner as such communication is so provided and shall address or
cause such communication to be addressed to the NIMs Insurer in addition to any
other addressee thereof. The Servicer shall cause the NIMs Insurer to be an
addressee of any report furnished pursuant to this Agreement. With respect to
the Trustee, such obligation shall be satisfied with the provision of access to
the NIMs Insurer to the Trustee's website.
(b) Wherever in this Agreement there shall be a requirement that there
be no downgrade, reduction, withdrawal or qualification of or other effect on
the rating of any Class of Certificates by any Rating Agency as of any date,
there also shall be deemed to be a requirement that there be no such effect on
any class of notes issued pursuant to the Indenture and guaranteed by the NIMs
Insurer as of such date. In addition, unless there exists a continuance of any
failure by the NIMs Insurer to make a required payment under the policy insuring
the NIM Notes (such event, a "NIMs Insurer Default"), wherever in this Agreement
there shall be a requirement that any Person or any communication, object or
other matter be acceptable or satisfactory to or otherwise receive the consent
or other approval of any other Person (whether as a condition to the eligibility
of such Person to act in any capacity, as a condition to any circumstance or
state of affairs related to such matter, or otherwise), there also shall be
deemed to be a requirement that such Person or matter be approved in writing by
the NIMs Insurer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
SECTION 10.13. Assignment; Sales; Advance Facilities.
(a) The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or
other facility (any such arrangement, an "Advance Facility"), the documentation
for which complies with Section 10.13(e) below, under which (1) the Servicer
assigns or pledges its rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any or
all Advances and/or Servicing Advances to (i) a Person, which may be a
special-purpose bankruptcy-remote entity (an "SPV"), (ii) a Person, which may
simultaneously assign or pledge such rights to an SPV or (iii) a lender (a
"Lender"), which, in the case of any Person or SPV of the type described in
either of the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), may directly or through other
assignees and/or pledgees, assign or pledge such rights to a Person, which may
include a trustee acting on behalf of holders of debt instruments (any such
Person or any such Lender, an "Advance Financing Person"), and/or (2) an Advance
Financing Person agrees to fund all of the Advances and/or Servicing Advances
151
required to be made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of
the NIMs Insurer, Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party shall be
required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility nor shall the
NIMs Insurer, the Trustee or the Certificateholders be a third party beneficiary
of any obligation of an Advance Financing Person to the Servicer.
Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advance
Financing Person agrees to fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances, (A) the
Servicer (i) shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make Advances
and/or Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement and (ii)
shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility and
(B) neither the Advance Financing Person nor any Servicer's Assignee (as
hereinafter defined) shall have any right to proceed against or otherwise
contact any Mortgagor for the purpose of collecting any payment that may be due
with respect to any related Mortgage Loan or enforcing any covenant of such
Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents.
(b) If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, the Servicer and
the related Advance Financing Person shall deliver to the Trustee at the address
set forth in Section 10.05 hereof a written notice (an "Advance Facility
Notice"), stating (a) the identity of the Advance Financing Person, (b) the
identity of the Person (the "Servicer's Assignee") that will, subject to Section
10.13(c) hereof, have the right to make withdrawals from the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof to reimburse previously unreimbursed Advances
and/or Servicing Advances ("Advance Reimbursement Amounts") and (c) that the
Servicer's Assignee shall agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section
10.13. The Advance Facility Notice shall be executed by the Servicer, the
Advance Financing Person and the Servicer's Assignee. Advance Reimbursement
Amounts (i) shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Advances and/or
Servicing Advances for which the Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself
in accordance with Section 3.08 hereof, assuming the Servicer had made the
related Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s) and (ii) shall not consist of
amounts payable to a successor Servicer in accordance with Section 3.08 hereof
to the extent permitted under Section 10.13(e) below.
(c) Notwithstanding the existence of an Advance Facility, the
Servicer, on behalf of the Advance Financing Person, shall be entitled to
receive reimbursements of Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with
Section 3.08 hereof, which entitlement may be terminated by the Advance
Financing Person pursuant to a written notice to the Trustee in the manner set
forth in Section 10.05 hereof. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Servicer
shall no longer be entitled to receive reimbursement for any Advance
Reimbursement Amounts and the Servicer's Assignee shall immediately have the
right to receive from the Collection Account all Advance Reimbursement Amounts.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Servicer
and/or the Servicer's Assignee shall only be entitled to reimbursement of
Advance Reimbursement Amounts hereunder pursuant to Section 3.08 of this
Agreement and shall not otherwise be entitled to make withdrawals of, or
receive, Advance Reimbursement Amounts that shall be deposited in the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof, and (ii) none of the Trustee or the
Certificateholders shall have any right to, or otherwise be entitled to, receive
any Advance Reimbursement Amounts to which the Servicer or Servicer's Assignee,
as applicable, shall be entitled pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof. Without
limiting the foregoing, none of the Trustee, the NIMs Insurer or the
Certificateholders shall have any right of set-off against Advance Reimbursement
Amounts hereunder. An Advance Facility may be terminated by the joint written
direction of the Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person. Written
notice of such termination shall be delivered to the Trustee in the manner set
forth in Section 10.05 hereof. Upon an Event of Default or if the Trustee
otherwise shall reasonably request, the Servicer shall maintain and provide to
any successor servicer or the Trustee as successor servicer a detailed
accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or
assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advance Financing Person (and such successor
servicer or Trustee may rely on such information).
152
(d) [RESERVED]
(e) As between a predecessor Servicer and its Advance Financing
Person, on the one hand, and a successor Servicer and its Advance Financing
Person, if any, on the other hand, Advance Reimbursement Amounts on a
loan-by-loan basis with respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which an Advance
and/or Servicing Advance shall have been made and be outstanding shall be
allocated on a "first-in, first out" basis. In the event the Servicer's Assignee
shall have received some or all of an Advance Reimbursement Amount related to
Advances and/or Servicing Advances that were made by a Person other than such
predecessor Servicer or its related Advance Financing Person in error, then such
Servicer's Assignee shall be required to remit any portion of such Advance
Reimbursement Amount to each Person entitled to such portion of such Advance
Reimbursement Amount. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advance Financing Person
for all Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent
the related Advance Reimbursement Amounts have not been assigned or pledged to
such Advance Financing Person or Servicer's Assignee.
(f) For purposes of any certification of a Servicing Officer of the
Servicer made pursuant to Section 4.01, any Nonrecoverable Advance or
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance referred to therein may have been made by such
Servicer or any predecessor Servicer. In making its determination that any
Advance or Servicing Advance theretofore made has become a Nonrecoverable
Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Servicer shall apply the same
criteria in making such determination regardless of whether such Advance or
Servicing Advance shall have been made by the Servicer or any predecessor
Servicer.
(g) The Trustee shall not, as a result of the existence of any Advance
Facility, have any additional duty or liability with respect to the payment of
any Advance Reimbursement Amount, have any additional responsibility to track or
monitor Advance Reimbursement Amounts or any Advance Facility, and, is not and
shall not be obligated to make any payment with respect to any Advance
Reimbursement Amount.
(h) Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall, as a result of the
existence of any Advance Facility, have any additional duty or liability with
respect to the calculation or payment of any Advance Reimbursement Amount, nor,
as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, shall the Depositor or the
Trustee have any additional responsibility to track or monitor the
administration of the Advance Facility or the payment of Advance Reimbursement
Amounts to the Servicer's Assignee. The Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor,
the Trustee, any successor servicer and the Issuing Entity for any claim, loss,
liability or damage resulting from any claim by the related Advance Financing
Person, except to the extent that such claim, loss, liability or damage resulted
from or arose out of negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part
of the Depositor, the Trustee or any successor servicer, as the case may be, or
failure by the successor servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, to remit
funds as required by this Agreement or the commission of an act or omission to
act by the successor servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, and the
passage of any applicable cure or grace period, such that an Event of Default
under this Agreement occurs or such entity is subject to termination for cause
under this Agreement.
SECTION 10.14. Compliance with Regulation AB.
Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of
Sections 3.17, 3.18 and 3.27 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by
the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB, as such may be amended or
clarified from time to time. Therefore, each of the parties agrees that (a) the
obligations of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in such a manner as to
153
accomplish compliance with Regulation AB, (b) the parties' obligations hereunder
will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be consistent with any such
amendments, interpretive advice or guidance, or convention or consensus among
active participants in the asset-backed securities markets in respect of the
requirements of Regulation AB and (c) the parties shall comply with reasonable
requests made by the Depositor for delivery of that or different information as
is necessary to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB.
154
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer have caused
their names to be signed hereto by their respective officers thereunto duly
authorized as of the day and year first above written.

evidencing an ownership interest in distributions allocable to the Class A-__
Certificates with respect to a pool of conventional, sub-prime mortgage loans
formed and sold by
XXXXXXX XXXXX MORTGAGE INVESTORS, INC.
Unless this Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The
Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to the Trustee for
registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is
registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an
authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to
such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY
TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON
IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co. has an interest
herein.
This certifies that CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the ownership
interest (the "Ownership Interest") evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by
dividing the Original Denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Initial
Certificate Balance of all Class A-__ Certificates) in certain distributions
with respect to a pool of conventional, sub-prime mortgage loans (the "Mortgage
Loans") formed and sold by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Investors, Inc. (hereinafter
called the "Depositor"), and certain other property held in trust for the
benefit of Certificateholders (collectively, the "Trust Fund"). The Mortgage
Loans are serviced by Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. (the "Servicer") and are
secured by first-lien or second-lien mortgages on the Mortgaged Properties. The
Trust Fund was created pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement (the
"Agreement"), dated as of July 1, 2006, among the Depositor, the Servicer and
LaSalle Bank National Association ("LB"), as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary
of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
assigned in the Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates,
designated as Ownit Mortgage Loan Trust Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates,
Series 2006-5, Class A-__ (the "Class A-__ Certificates") 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.
The Class A Certificates, the Class M Certificates, the Class B
Certificates, the Class P Certificates and the Class C Certificates are
collectively referred to herein as the "Certificates."
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Trustee will distribute from
funds in the Certificate Account the amounts described 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 in August 2006.
Such distributions will be made to the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month
preceding the month in which such payment is made.
A-1-3
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by check mailed to
the address of the person entitled to distributions as it appears on the
Certificate Register or, in the case of any certificateholder that has so
notified the Trustee in writing in accordance with the Agreement, by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such certificateholder
at a bank or other depository institution having appropriate wire transfer
facilities; provided, however, that the final distribution in retirement of the
certificates will be made only upon presentation and surrender of this
Certificate at the office of the Trustee or such other address designated in
writing by the Trustee. On each Distribution Date, a holder of this Certificate
will receive such holder's Percentage Interest of the amounts required to be
distributed with respect to the applicable Class of Certificates.
The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained a Certificate Register
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Trustee 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 Trustee, or, if an Authenticating
Agent has been appointed under the Agreement, the Authenticating Agent,
maintained for such purpose, the Trustee, 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. Notwithstanding the above, the final
distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee,
of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of
this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee, for that
purpose and specified in such notice of final distribution.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set
forth on the reverse hereof which further provisions shall for all purposes have
the same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication has been executed by the
Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be

OWNIT MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST
MORTGAGE LOAN ASSET-BACKED CERTIFICATES,

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates,
designated as Ownit Mortgage Loan Trust Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates,
Series 2006-5, issued in one or more Classes of Class A Certificates, Class M
Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class P Certificates and Class C
Certificates, each evidencing an interest in certain distributions with respect
to a pool of conventional, sub-prime Mortgage Loans formed and sold by the
Depositor and certain other property conveyed by the Depositor to the Trustee.
Following the initial issuance of the Certificates, the principal balance
of this Certificate will be different from the Original Denomination shown
above. Anyone acquiring this Certificate may ascertain its current principal
balance by inquiry of the Trustee.
The Holder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look
solely to the Trust Fund and certain amounts resulting from credit enhancements
for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not 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.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference
is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights,
benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Trustee.
No service charge will be made to the Holder for any transfer or exchange
of the Certificate, but the Trustee 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 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 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, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders,
to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions therein which may
be inconsistent with the other provisions therein, to ensure continuing
treatment of each REMIC included in the Trust Fund as a REMIC, or to make any
other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the
Agreement which are not materially inconsistent with the provisions of the
Agreement, provided that such action does not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder.
The 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 Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby, for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
the Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment may (i)
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
A-1-6
received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii)
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any
Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in clause (i), without
the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing 66 2/3% or
more of the Voting Rights of such Class or (iii) change the percentage specified
in clause (ii) of the third paragraph of Section 10.01 of the Agreement, without
the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding.
The Class A-__ Certificates are issuable only in registerable form, in
minimum denominations of $25,000 in initial Certificate Principal Amount and in
integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, registered in the name of the
nominee of the Clearing Agency, which shall maintain such Certificates through
its book-entry facilities.
For federal income tax purposes, the Trust Fund will include multiple "real
estate mortgage investment conduits" (each, a "REMIC"). The REMIC Regular
Interests will represent "regular interests" in one of the REMICs included in
the Trust Fund. The Class R Certificate will represent the sole class of
"residual interest" in each of the REMICs.
The obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Trustee under the Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the exercise
by the Trustee of an Optional Termination; and (b) the later of (i) the maturity
or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and
(ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be
distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement, as applicable. In no event shall
the trusts created under the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) 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 and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class P Certificates and Class C
Certificates, each evidencing an interest in certain distributions with respect
to a pool of conventional, sub-prime Mortgage Loans formed and sold by the
Depositor and certain other property conveyed by the Depositor to the Trustee.
Following the initial issuance of the Certificates, the principal balance
of this Certificate will be different from the Original Denomination shown
above. Anyone acquiring this Certificate may ascertain its current principal
balance by inquiry of the Trustee.
The Holder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look
solely to the Trust Fund and certain amounts resulting from credit enhancements
for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not 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.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference
is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights,
benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Trustee.
No service charge will be made to the Holder for any transfer or exchange
of the Certificate, but the Trustee 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 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 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, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders,
to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions therein which may
be inconsistent with the other provisions therein, to ensure continuing
treatment of each REMIC included in the Trust Fund as a REMIC, or to make any
other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the
Agreement which are not materially inconsistent with the provisions of the
Agreement, provided that such action does not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder.
The 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 Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby, for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
the Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that
A-3-5
no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the
timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in
clause (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class
evidencing 66 2/3% or more of the Voting Rights of such Class or (iii) change
the percentage specified in clause (ii) of the third paragraph of Section 10.01
of the Agreement, without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such
Class then outstanding.
The Class B-__ Certificates are issuable only in registerable form, in
minimum denominations of $25,000 in initial Certificate Principal Amount and in
integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, registered in the name of the
nominee of the Clearing Agency, which shall maintain such Certificates through
its book-entry facilities.
For federal income tax purposes, the Trust Fund will include multiple "real
estate mortgage investment conduits" (each, a "REMIC"). The REMIC Regular
Interests will represent "regular interests" in one of the REMICs included in
the Trust Fund. The Class R Certificate will represent the sole class of
"residual interest" in each of the REMICs.
The obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Trustee under the Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the exercise
by the Trustee of an Optional Termination; and (b) the later of (i) the maturity
or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and
(ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be
distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement, as applicable. In no event shall
the trusts created under the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) 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 and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

at a bank or other depository institution having appropriate wire transfer
facilities; provided, however, that the final distribution in retirement of the

OWNIT MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates,
designated as Ownit Mortgage Loan Trust Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates,
Series 2006-5, issued in one or more Classes of Class A Certificates, Class M
Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class P Certificates and Class C
Certificates, each evidencing an interest in certain distributions with respect
to a pool of conventional, sub-prime Mortgage Loans formed and sold by the
Depositor and certain other property conveyed by the Depositor to the Trustee.
The Holder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look
solely to the Trust Fund and certain amounts resulting from credit enhancements
for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not 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.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference
is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights,
benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Trustee.
No service charge will be made to the Holder for any transfer or exchange
of the Certificate, but the Trustee 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 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 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, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders,
to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions therein which may
be inconsistent with the other provisions therein, to ensure continuing
treatment of each REMIC included in the Trust Fund as a REMIC, or to make any
other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the
Agreement which are not materially inconsistent with the provisions of the
Agreement, provided that such action does not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder.
The 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 Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby, for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
the Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment may (i)
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on
Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a
manner other than as described in clause (i), without the consent of the
A-5-6
Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing 66 2/3% or more of the Voting
Rights of such Class or (iii) change the percentage specified in clause (ii) of
the third paragraph of Section 10.01 of the Agreement, without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding.
For federal income tax purposes, the Trust Fund will include multiple "real
estate mortgage investment conduits" (each, a "REMIC"). The REMIC Regular
Interests will represent "regular interests" in one of the REMICs included in
the Trust Fund. The Class R Certificate will represent the sole class of
"residual interest" in each of the REMICs.
The obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Trustee under the Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the exercise
by the Trustee of an Optional Termination; and (b) the later of (i) the maturity
or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and
(ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be
distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement, as applicable. In no event shall
the trusts created under the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) 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 and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

(3) Purpose. It is an "eligible swap participant" as such term is defined
in Section 35.1(b)(2) of the regulations (17 C.F.R 35) promulgated under,
and an "eligible contract participant" as defined in Section 1(a)(12) of,
the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and it is entering into the
Transaction for the purposes of managing its borrowings or investments,
hedging its underlying assets or liabilities or in connection with a line
of business."
9) Additional Provisions. Notwithstanding the terms of Sections 5 and 6 of the
ISDA Form Master Agreement, if at any time and so long as the Counterparty
has satisfied in full all its payment obligations under Section 2(a)(i) of
the ISDA Form Master Agreement and has at the time no future payment
obligations, whether absolute or contingent, under such Section, then
unless BSFP is required pursuant to appropriate proceedings to return to
the Counterparty or otherwise returns to the Counterparty upon demand of
the Counterparty any portion of any such payment, (a) the occurrence of an
event described in Section 5(a) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with
respect to the Counterparty shall not constitute an Event of Default or
Potential Event of Default with respect to the Counterparty as Defaulting
Party and (b) BSFP shall be entitled to designate an Early Termination Date
pursuant to Section 6 of the ISDA Form Master Agreement only as a result of
the occurrence of a Termination Event set forth in either Section 5(b)(i)
or 5(b)(ii) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with respect to BSFP as the
Affected Party, or Section 5(b)(iii) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with
respect to BSFP as the Burdened Party.
10) Set-off. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other
existing or future agreement, each party irrevocably waives any and all
rights it may have to set off, net, recoup or otherwise withhold or suspend
or condition payment or performance of any obligation between it and the
other party hereunder against any obligation between it and the other party
under any other agreements. The provisions for Set-off set forth in Section
6(e) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement shall not apply for purposes of this
Transaction.
11) Additional Termination Events. The following Additional Termination Events
will apply:
(a) If a Ratings Event has occurred and BSFP has not, complied with Section 12
below, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with
respect to BSFP and BSFP shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to
such an Additional Termination Event.
(b) If, upon the occurrence of a Cap Disclosure Event (as defined in Section
13(ii) of this Agreement), BSFP has not, within 10 days after such Cap
Disclosure Event complied with any of the provisions set forth in Section
13(iii) of this Agreement, then an Additional Termination Event shall have
occurred with respect to BSFP and BSFP shall be the sole Affected Party
with respect to such Additional Termination Event.
12) Ratings Event. If a Ratings Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to
BSFP, then BSFP shall, at is own expense, (i) subject to the Rating Agency
Condition (as defined below), assign this Transaction hereunder to a third
party within thirty (30) days of such Ratings Event that meets or exceeds,
or as to which any applicable credit support provider meets or exceeds, the
Approved Ratings Thresholds (as defined below), (ii) deliver collateral,
and an executed ISDA Credit Support Annex, within thirty (30) days of such
Ratings Event and subject to each of Standard and Poor's Ratings Services,
Inc. ("S&P's") and Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's" and together
with S&P, the "Rating Agencies") written confirmation that delivery of
N-1-10
Reference Number: FXNEC8533
LaSalle Bank National Association, as Trustee for OwnIt Mortgage Loan Trust,
Series 2006-5
July 27, 2006
Page 11 of 14
such collateral in the context of such downgrade will not result in a
withdrawal, qualification or downgrade of the then current ratings assigned
to the Certificates, or (iii) any other action that satisfies the Rating
Agency Condition. For the avoidance of doubt, a downgrade of the rating on
the Certificates could occur in the event that BSFP does not post
sufficient collateral. For purposes of this Transaction, a "Ratings Event"
shall occur with respect to BSFP, if its long-term unsecured and
unsubordinated debt rating is reduced below "AA-" by S&P, and "Aa3" by
Moody's (including in connection with a merger, consolidation or other
similar transaction by BSFP) such ratings being referred to herein as the
"Approved Ratings Thresholds", unless, within 30 days after such withdrawal
or downgrade, each of Moody's and S&P has reconfirmed the rating of the
Certificates, as applicable, which was in effect immediately prior to such
withdrawal or downgrade. For purposes of this provision, "Rating Agency
Condition" means, with respect to any particular proposed act or omission
to act hereunder that the party acting or failing to act must consult with
any of the Rating Agencies then providing a rating of the Certificates and
receive from the Rating Agencies a prior written confirmation that the
proposed action or inaction would not cause a downgrade or withdrawal of
the then-current rating of the Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that BSFP's long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating
is either (i) withdrawn or (ii) reduced below "BBB-" by S&P, or its
unsecured, short-term debt obligations is reduced below "A-3" by S&P then,
BSFP shall, within (10) days of such reduction, at its own expense, and
satisfying the Rating Agency Condition, either (i) secure another entity to
replace BSFP as party to this Agreement that meets or exceeds the Approved
Rating Thresholds on terms substantially similar to this Agreement, (ii)
obtain a guaranty acceptable to the Rating Agencies, of another person with
the Approved Rating Thresholds, to honor, BSFP's obligations under this
Agreement, or (iii) any other action that satisfies the Rating Agency
Condition. Failure to satisfy the foregoing shall constitute an Additional
Termination Event as defined by Section 5(b)(v) of the ISDA Form Master
Agreement, with BSFP as the sole Affected Party. Notwithstanding any of the
above downgrades, unless and until BSFP transfers the Transaction to a
replacement counterparty pursuant to the foregoing, BSFP will continue to
perform its obligations under the Transaction. BSFP's failure to comply
with the above downgrade provisions and requirements shall constitute the
sole Additional Termination Events as defined in Section 5(b)(v) of the
ISDA Form Master Agreement.
13) Compliance with Regulation AB.
(i) BSFP agrees and acknowledges that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Investors,
Inc. ("MLMI") is required under Regulation AB under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act") ("Regulation AB"), to disclose certain
financial information regarding BSFP or its group of affiliated
entities, if applicable, depending on the aggregate "significance
percentage" of this Agreement and any other derivative contracts
between BSFP or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, and
Counterparty, as calculated from time to time in accordance with Item
1115 of Regulation AB.
(ii) It shall be a cap disclosure event ("Cap Disclosure Event") if, on any
Business Day after the date hereof, MLMI requests from BSFP the
applicable financial information described in Item 1115 of Regulation
AB (such request to be based on a reasonable determination by MLMI, in
good faith, that such information is required under Regulation AB)
(the "Cap Financial Disclosure").

(iii) Upon the occurrence of a Cap Disclosure Event, BSFP, at its own
expense, shall (a) provide to MLMI the Cap Financial Disclosure, (b)
secure another entity to replace BSFP as party to this Agreement on
terms substantially similar to this Agreement and subject to prior
notification to the Rating Agencies, which entity (or a guarantor
therefor) meets or exceeds the Approved Rating Thresholds (and which
satisfies the Rating Agency Condition) and which entity is able to
comply with the requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation AB or (c)
obtain a guaranty of the BSFP's obligations under this Agreement from
an affiliate of the BSFP that is able to comply with the financial
information disclosure requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation AB,
such that disclosure provided in respect of the affiliate will satisfy
any disclosure requirements applicable to the Cap Provider, and cause
such affiliate to provide Cap Financial Disclosure. If permitted by
Regulation AB, any required Cap Financial Disclosure may be provided
by incorporation by reference from reports filed pursuant to the
Exchange Act.
(iv) BSFP agrees that, in the event that BSFP provides Cap Financial
Disclosure to MLMI in accordance with Section 13(iii)(a) or causes its
affiliate to provide Cap Financial Disclosure to MLMI in accordance
with Section 13(iii)(a), it will indemnify and hold harmless MLMI, its
respective directors or officers and any person controlling MLMI, from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused
by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in such Cap Financial Disclosure or caused by any omission
or alleged omission to state in such Cap Financial Disclosure a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.
14) Third Party Beneficiary. MLMI shall be a third party beneficiary of this
Agreement.
15) Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Lending, Inc. ("MLML") agrees and acknowledges that
amounts paid hereunder are not intended to benefit the holder of any class
of certificates rated by any rating agency if such holder is MLML or any of
its affiliates. If MLML or any of its affiliates receives any such amounts,
it will promptly remit (or, if such amounts are received by an affiliate of
MLML, MLML hereby agrees that it will cause such affiliate to promptly
remit) such amounts to the applicable Trustee, whereupon such Trustee will
promptly remit such amounts to BSFP. MLML further agrees to provide notice
to BSFP upon any remittance to the Trustee; such delivery will be made to:

(3) Purpose. It is an "eligible swap participant" as such term is defined
in Section 35.1(b)(2) of the regulations (17 C.F.R 35) promulgated under,
and an "eligible contract participant" as defined in Section 1(a)(12) of,
the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and it is entering into the
Transaction for the purposes of managing its borrowings or investments,
hedging its underlying assets or liabilities or in connection with a line
of business."
9) Additional Provisions. Notwithstanding the terms of Sections 5 and 6 of the
ISDA Form Master Agreement, if at any time and so long as the Counterparty
has satisfied in full all its payment obligations under Section 2(a)(i) of
the ISDA Form Master Agreement and has at the time no future payment
obligations, whether absolute or contingent, under such Section, then
unless BSFP is required pursuant to appropriate proceedings to return to
the Counterparty or otherwise returns to the Counterparty upon demand of
the Counterparty any portion of any such payment, (a) the occurrence of an
event described in Section 5(a) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with
respect to the Counterparty shall not constitute an Event of Default or
Potential Event of Default with respect to the Counterparty as Defaulting
Party and (b) BSFP shall be entitled to designate an Early Termination Date
pursuant to Section 6 of the ISDA Form Master Agreement only as a result of
the occurrence of a Termination Event set forth in either Section 5(b)(i)
or 5(b)(ii) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with respect to BSFP as the
Affected Party, or Section 5(b)(iii) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with
respect to BSFP as the Burdened Party.
10) Set-off. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other
existing or future agreement, each party irrevocably waives any and all
rights it may have to set off, net, recoup or otherwise withhold or suspend
or condition payment or performance of any obligation between it and the
other party hereunder against any obligation between it and the other party
under any other agreements. The provisions for Set-off set forth in Section
6(e) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement shall not apply for purposes of this
Transaction.
11) Additional Termination Events. The following Additional Termination Events
will apply:
(a) If a Ratings Event has occurred and BSFP has not, complied with Section 12
below, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with
respect to BSFP and BSFP shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to
such an Additional Termination Event.
(b) If, upon the occurrence of a Cap Disclosure Event (as defined in Section
13(ii) of this Agreement), BSFP has not, within 10 days after such Cap
Disclosure Event complied with any of the provisions set forth in Section
13(iii) of this Agreement, then an Additional Termination Event shall have
occurred with respect to BSFP and BSFP shall be the sole Affected Party
with respect to such Additional Termination Event.
12) Ratings Event. If a Ratings Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to
BSFP, then BSFP shall, at is own expense, (i) subject to the Rating Agency
Condition (as defined below), assign this Transaction hereunder to a third
party within thirty (30) days of such Ratings Event that meets or exceeds,
or as to which any applicable credit support provider meets or exceeds, the
Approved Ratings Thresholds (as defined below), (ii) deliver collateral,
and an executed ISDA Credit Support Annex, within thirty (30) days of such
Ratings Event and subject to each of Standard and Poor's Ratings Services,
Inc. ("S&P's") and Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's" and together
with S&P, the "Rating Agencies") written confirmation that delivery of
N-2-10
Reference Number: XXXXX0000
LaSalle Bank National Association, as Trustee for OwnIt Mortgage Loan Trust,
Series 2006-5
July 27, 2006
Page 11 of 14
such collateral in the context of such downgrade will not result in a
withdrawal, qualification or downgrade of the then current ratings assigned
to the Certificates, or (iii) any other action that satisfies the Rating
Agency Condition. For the avoidance of doubt, a downgrade of the rating on
the Certificates could occur in the event that BSFP does not post
sufficient collateral. For purposes of this Transaction, a "Ratings Event"
shall occur with respect to BSFP, if its long-term unsecured and
unsubordinated debt rating is reduced below "AA-" by S&P, and "Aa3" by
Moody's (including in connection with a merger, consolidation or other
similar transaction by BSFP) such ratings being referred to herein as the
"Approved Ratings Thresholds", unless, within 30 days after such withdrawal
or downgrade, each of Moody's and S&P has reconfirmed the rating of the
Certificates, as applicable, which was in effect immediately prior to such
withdrawal or downgrade. For purposes of this provision, "Rating Agency
Condition" means, with respect to any particular proposed act or omission
to act hereunder that the party acting or failing to act must consult with
any of the Rating Agencies then providing a rating of the Certificates and
receive from the Rating Agencies a prior written confirmation that the
proposed action or inaction would not cause a downgrade or withdrawal of
the then-current rating of the Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that BSFP's long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating
is either (i) withdrawn or (ii) reduced below "BBB-" by S&P, or its
unsecured, short-term debt obligations is reduced below "A-3" by S&P then,
BSFP shall, within (10) days of such reduction, at its own expense, and
satisfying the Rating Agency Condition, either (i) secure another entity to
replace BSFP as party to this Agreement that meets or exceeds the Approved
Rating Thresholds on terms substantially similar to this Agreement, (ii)
obtain a guaranty acceptable to the Rating Agencies, of another person with
the Approved Rating Thresholds, to honor, BSFP's obligations under this
Agreement, or (iii) any other action that satisfies the Rating Agency
Condition. Failure to satisfy the foregoing shall constitute an Additional
Termination Event as defined by Section 5(b)(v) of the ISDA Form Master
Agreement, with BSFP as the sole Affected Party. Notwithstanding any of the
above downgrades, unless and until BSFP transfers the Transaction to a
replacement counterparty pursuant to the foregoing, BSFP will continue to
perform its obligations under the Transaction. BSFP's failure to comply
with the above downgrade provisions and requirements shall constitute the
sole Additional Termination Events as defined in Section 5(b)(v) of the
ISDA Form Master Agreement.
13) Compliance with Regulation AB.
(i) BSFP agrees and acknowledges that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Investors,
Inc. ("MLMI") is required under Regulation AB under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act") ("Regulation AB"), to disclose certain
financial information regarding BSFP or its group of affiliated
entities, if applicable, depending on the aggregate "significance
percentage" of this Agreement and any other derivative contracts
between BSFP or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, and
Counterparty, as calculated from time to time in accordance with Item
1115 of Regulation AB.
(ii) It shall be a cap disclosure event ("Cap Disclosure Event") if, on any
Business Day after the date hereof, MLMI requests from BSFP the
applicable financial information described in Item 1115 of Regulation
AB (such request to be based on a reasonable determination by MLMI, in
good faith, that such information is required under Regulation AB)
(the "Cap Financial Disclosure").

(iii) Upon the occurrence of a Cap Disclosure Event, BSFP, at its own
expense, shall (a) provide to MLMI the Cap Financial Disclosure, (b)
secure another entity to replace BSFP as party to this Agreement on
terms substantially similar to this Agreement and subject to prior
notification to the Rating Agencies, which entity (or a guarantor
therefor) meets or exceeds the Approved Rating Thresholds (and which
satisfies the Rating Agency Condition) and which entity is able to
comply with the requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation AB or (c)
obtain a guaranty of the BSFP's obligations under this Agreement from
an affiliate of the BSFP that is able to comply with the financial
information disclosure requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation AB,
such that disclosure provided in respect of the affiliate will satisfy
any disclosure requirements applicable to the Cap Provider, and cause
such affiliate to provide Cap Financial Disclosure. If permitted by
Regulation AB, any required Cap Financial Disclosure may be provided
by incorporation by reference from reports filed pursuant to the
Exchange Act.
(iv) BSFP agrees that, in the event that BSFP provides Cap Financial
Disclosure to MLMI in accordance with Section 13(iii)(a) or causes its
affiliate to provide Cap Financial Disclosure to MLMI in accordance
with Section 13(iii)(a), it will indemnify and hold harmless MLMI, its
respective directors or officers and any person controlling MLMI, from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused
by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in such Cap Financial Disclosure or caused by any omission
or alleged omission to state in such Cap Financial Disclosure a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.
14) Third Party Beneficiary. MLMI shall be a third party beneficiary of this
Agreement.
15) Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Lending, Inc. ("MLML") agrees and acknowledges that
amounts paid hereunder are not intended to benefit the holder of any class
of certificates rated by any rating agency if such holder is MLML or any of
its affiliates. If MLML or any of its affiliates receives any such amounts,
it will promptly remit (or, if such amounts are received by an affiliate of
MLML, MLML hereby agrees that it will cause such affiliate to promptly
remit) such amounts to the applicable Trustee, whereupon such Trustee will
promptly remit such amounts to BSFP. MLML further agrees to provide notice
to BSFP upon any remittance to the Trustee; such delivery will be made to:

(3) Purpose. It is an "eligible swap participant" as such term is defined

Transaction for the purposes of managing its borrowings or investments,
hedging its underlying assets or liabilities or in connection with a line

9) Additional Provisions. Notwithstanding the terms of Sections 5 and 6 of the
ISDA Form Master Agreement, if at any time and so long as the Counterparty
has satisfied in full all its payment obligations under Section 2(a)(i) of
the ISDA Form Master Agreement and has at the time no future payment
obligations, whether absolute or contingent, under such Section, then
unless BSFP is required pursuant to appropriate proceedings to return to
the Counterparty or otherwise returns to the Counterparty upon demand of
the Counterparty any portion of any such payment, (a) the occurrence of an
event described in Section 5(a) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with
respect to the Counterparty shall not constitute an Event of Default or
Potential Event of Default with respect to the Counterparty as Defaulting
Party and (b) BSFP shall be entitled to designate an Early Termination Date
pursuant to Section 6 of the ISDA Form Master Agreement only as a result of
the occurrence of a Termination Event set forth in either Section 5(b)(i)
or 5(b)(ii) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with respect to BSFP as the
Affected Party, or Section 5(b)(iii) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with
respect to BSFP as the Burdened Party.
10) Set-off. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other
existing or future agreement, each party irrevocably waives any and all
rights it may have to set off, net, recoup or otherwise withhold or suspend
or condition payment or performance of any obligation between it and the
other party hereunder against any obligation between it and the other party
under any other agreements. The provisions for Set-off set forth in Section
6(e) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement shall not apply for purposes of this
Transaction.
11) Additional Termination Events. The following Additional Termination Events
will apply:
(a) If a Ratings Event has occurred and BSFP has not, complied with Section 12
below, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with
respect to BSFP and BSFP shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to
such an Additional Termination Event.
(b) If, upon the occurrence of a Cap Disclosure Event (as defined in Section
13(ii) of this Agreement), BSFP has not, within 10 days after such Cap
Disclosure Event complied with any of the provisions set forth in Section
13(iii) of this Agreement, then an Additional Termination Event shall have
occurred with respect to BSFP and BSFP shall be the sole Affected Party
with respect to such Additional Termination Event.
12) Ratings Event. If a Ratings Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to
BSFP, then BSFP shall, at is own expense, (i) subject to the Rating Agency
Condition (as defined below), assign this Transaction hereunder to a third

or as to which any applicable credit support provider meets or exceeds, the
Approved Ratings Thresholds (as defined below), (ii) deliver collateral,
and an executed ISDA

Credit Support Annex, within thirty (30) days of such Ratings Event and
subject to each of Standard and Poor's Ratings Services, Inc. ("S&P's") and
Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's" and together with S&P, the
"Rating Agencies") written confirmation that delivery of such collateral in
the context of such downgrade will not result in a withdrawal,
qualification or downgrade of the then current ratings assigned to the
Certificates, or (iii) any other action that satisfies the Rating Agency
Condition. For the avoidance of doubt, a downgrade of the rating on the
Certificates could occur in the event that BSFP does not post sufficient
collateral. For purposes of this Transaction, a "Ratings Event" shall occur
with respect to BSFP, if its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt
rating is reduced below "AA-" by S&P, and "Aa3" by Moody's (including in
connection with a merger, consolidation or other similar transaction by
BSFP) such ratings being referred to herein as the "Approved Ratings
Thresholds", unless, within 30 days after such withdrawal or downgrade,
each of Xxxxx'x and S&P has reconfirmed the rating of the Certificates, as
applicable, which was in effect immediately prior to such withdrawal or
downgrade. For purposes of this provision, "Rating Agency Condition" means,
with respect to any particular proposed act or omission to act hereunder
that the party acting or failing to act must consult with any of the Rating
Agencies then providing a rating of the Certificates and receive from the
Rating Agencies a prior written confirmation that the proposed action or
inaction would not cause a downgrade or withdrawal of the then-current
rating of the Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
that BSFP's long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is either
(i) withdrawn or (ii) reduced below "BBB-" by S&P, or its unsecured,
short-term debt obligations is reduced below "A-3" by S&P then, BSFP shall,
within (10) days of such reduction, at its own expense, and satisfying the
Rating Agency Condition, either (i) secure another entity to replace BSFP
as party to this Agreement that meets or exceeds the Approved Rating
Thresholds on terms substantially similar to this Agreement, (ii) obtain a
guaranty acceptable to the Rating Agencies, of another person with the
Approved Rating Thresholds, to honor, BSFP's obligations under this
Agreement, or (iii) any other action that satisfies the Rating Agency
Condition. Failure to satisfy the foregoing shall constitute an Additional
Termination Event as defined by Section 5(b)(v) of the ISDA Form Master
Agreement, with BSFP as the sole Affected Party. Notwithstanding any of the
above downgrades, unless and until BSFP transfers the Transaction to a
replacement counterparty pursuant to the foregoing, BSFP will continue to
perform its obligations under the Transaction. BSFP's failure to comply
with the above downgrade provisions and requirements shall constitute the
sole Additional Termination Events as defined in Section 5(b)(v) of the
ISDA Form Master Agreement.
13) Compliance with Regulation AB.
(i) BSFP agrees and acknowledges that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Investors,
Inc. ("MLMI") is required under Regulation AB under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act") ("Regulation AB"), to disclose certain
financial information regarding BSFP or its group of affiliated
entities, if applicable, depending on the aggregate "significance
percentage" of this Agreement and any other derivative contracts
between BSFP or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, and
Counterparty, as calculated from time to time in accordance with Item
1115 of Regulation AB.
(ii) It shall be a cap disclosure event ("Cap Disclosure Event") if, on any
Business Day after the date hereof, MLMI requests from BSFP the
applicable financial information described in Item 1115 of Regulation
AB (such request to be based on a reasonable

determination by MLMI, in good faith, that such information is
required under Regulation AB) (the "Cap Financial Disclosure").
(iii) Upon the occurrence of a Cap Disclosure Event, BSFP, at its own
expense, shall (a) provide to MLMI the Cap Financial Disclosure, (b)
secure another entity to replace BSFP as party to this Agreement on
terms substantially similar to this Agreement and subject to prior
notification to the Rating Agencies, which entity (or a guarantor
therefor) meets or exceeds the Approved Rating Thresholds (and which
satisfies the Rating Agency Condition) and which entity is able to
comply with the requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation AB or (c)
obtain a guaranty of the BSFP's obligations under this Agreement from
an affiliate of the BSFP that is able to comply with the financial
information disclosure requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation AB,
such that disclosure provided in respect of the affiliate will satisfy
any disclosure requirements applicable to the Cap Provider, and cause
such affiliate to provide Cap Financial Disclosure. If permitted by
Regulation AB, any required Cap Financial Disclosure may be provided
by incorporation by reference from reports filed pursuant to the
Exchange Act.
(iv) BSFP agrees that, in the event that BSFP provides Cap Financial
Disclosure to MLMI in accordance with Section 13(iii)(a) or causes its
affiliate to provide Cap Financial Disclosure to MLMI in accordance
with Section 13(iii)(a), it will indemnify and hold harmless MLMI, its
respective directors or officers and any person controlling MLMI, from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused
by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in such Cap Financial Disclosure or caused by any omission
or alleged omission to state in such Cap Financial Disclosure a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.
14) Third Party Beneficiary. MLMI shall be a third party beneficiary of this
Agreement.
15) Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Lending, Inc. ("MLML") agrees and acknowledges that
amounts paid hereunder are not intended to benefit the holder of any class
of certificates rated by any rating agency if such holder is MLML or any of
its affiliates. If MLML or any of its affiliates receives any such amounts,
it will promptly remit (or, if such amounts are received by an affiliate of
MLML, MLML hereby agrees that it will cause such affiliate to promptly
remit) such amounts to the applicable Trustee, whereupon such Trustee will
promptly remit such amounts to BSFP. MLML further agrees to provide notice
to BSFP upon any remittance to the Trustee; such delivery will be made to:

10) Additional Termination Events. The following Additional Termination Events
will apply:
(a) If a Ratings Event has occurred and BSFP has not, complied with Section 11
below, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with
respect to BSFP and BSFP shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to
such an Additional Termination Event.
(b) If, upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Event (as defined in Section
12(ii) of this Agreement), BSFP has not, within 10 days after such Swap
Disclosure Event complied with any of the provisions set forth in Section
12(iii) of this Agreement, then an Additional Termination Event shall have

(c) If the Counterparty is unable to pay its Class A Certificates or fails or
admits in writing its inability to pay its Class A Certificates as they

S-10
Reference Number: FXNSC8532
LaSalle Bank National Association, as Trustee for OwnIt Mortgage Loan Trust,
Series 2006-5

Page 11 of 15
interests of BSFP. Counterparty will furnish to BSFP a copy of each
proposed and each executed amendment or supplemental agreement and copies
of any related Rating Agencies' confirmation therewith, if any. The failure
by Counterparty to comply with this clause (d) shall constitute an
Additional Termination Event hereunder, upon which Counterparty shall be
the sole Affected Party and all Transactions hereunder shall be Affected
Transactions.
(e) Either the acceptance by the Trustee of a bid in connection with an Auction
or notice by the NIMS Insurer or Servicer that it will purchase the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01(b) of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall constitute an Additional Termination
Event with respect to Counterparty with Counterparty as the sole Affected
Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event; provided that
notwithstanding anything in the first sentence of Section 6(d)(ii) of the
ISDA Form Master Agreement to the contrary, the amount calculated as being
due in respect of such Additional Termination Event shall be payable on the
Distribution Date upon which the final distribution is made to the
Certificateholders.
11) Ratings Event. If a Ratings Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to
BSFP, then BSFP shall, at is own expense, (i) subject to the Rating Agency
Condition (as defined below), assign this Transaction hereunder to a third
party within thirty (30) days of such Ratings Event that meets or exceeds,
or as to which any applicable credit support provider meets or exceeds, the
Approved Ratings Thresholds (as defined below), (ii) deliver collateral,
and an executed ISDA Credit Support Annex, within thirty (30) days of such
Ratings Event and subject to each of Standard and Poor's Ratings Services,
Inc. ("S&P's") and Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's" and together
with S&P, the "Rating Agencies") written confirmation that delivery of such
collateral in the context of such downgrade will not result in a
withdrawal, qualification or downgrade of the then current ratings assigned
to the Certificates, or (iii) any other action that satisfies the Rating
Agency Condition. For the avoidance of doubt, a downgrade of the rating on
the Certificates could occur in the event that BSFP does not post
sufficient collateral. For purposes of this Transaction, a "Ratings Event"
shall occur with respect to BSFP, if its long-term unsecured and
unsubordinated debt rating is reduced below "AA-" by S&P, and "Aa3" by
Moody's (including in connection with a merger, consolidation or other
similar transaction by BSFP) such ratings being referred to herein as the
"Approved Ratings Thresholds", unless, within 30 days after such withdrawal
or downgrade, each of Moody's and S&P has reconfirmed the rating of the
Certificates, as applicable, which was in effect immediately prior to such
withdrawal or downgrade. For purposes of this provision, "Rating Agency
Condition" means, with respect to any particular proposed act or omission
to act hereunder that the party acting or failing to act must consult with
any of the Rating Agencies then providing a rating of the Certificates and
receive from the Rating Agencies a prior written confirmation that the
proposed action or inaction would not cause a downgrade or withdrawal of
the then-current rating of the Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that BSFP's long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating
is either (i) withdrawn or (ii) reduced below "BBB-" by S&P, or its
unsecured, short-term debt obligations is reduced below "A-3" by S&P then,
BSFP shall, within (10) days of such reduction, at its own expense, and
satisfying the Rating Agency Condition, either (i) secure another entity to
replace BSFP as party to this Agreement that meets or exceeds the Approved
Rating Thresholds on terms substantially similar to this Agreement, (ii)
obtain a guaranty acceptable to the Rating Agencies, of another person with
the Approved Rating Thresholds, to honor, BSFP's obligations under this
Agreement, or (iii) any other action that satisfies the Rating Agency
Condition. Failure to satisfy the foregoing shall constitute an Additional
Termination Event as defined by Section 5(b)(v) of the ISDA Form Master
Agreement, with BSFP as the sole
S-11
Reference Number: FXNSC8532
LaSalle Bank National Association, as Trustee for OwnIt Mortgage Loan Trust,
Series 2006-5
July 27, 2006
Page 12 of 15
Affected Party. Notwithstanding any of the above downgrades, unless and
until BSFP transfers the Transaction to a replacement counterparty pursuant
to the foregoing, BSFP will continue to perform its obligations under the
Transaction. BSFP's failure to comply with the above downgrade provisions
and requirements shall constitute the sole Additional Termination Events as
defined in Section 5(b)(v) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement.
12) Compliance with Regulation AB.
(i) BSFP agrees and acknowledges that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Investors,
Inc. ("MLMI") is required under Regulation AB under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act") ("Regulation AB"), to disclose certain
financial information regarding BSFP or its group of affiliated
entities, if applicable, depending on the aggregate "significance
percentage" of this Agreement and any other derivative contracts
between BSFP or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, and
Counterparty, as calculated from time to time in accordance with Item
1115 of Regulation AB.
(ii) It shall be a swap disclosure event ("Swap Disclosure Event") if, on
any Business Day after the date hereof, MLMI requests from BSFP the
applicable financial information described in Item 1115 of Regulation
AB (such request to be based on a reasonable determination by MLMI, in
good faith, that such information is required under Regulation AB)
(the "Swap Financial Disclosure").
