Pooling
and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2007, among Structured Asset
Mortgage Investments II Inc., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the
“Depositor”), U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and
EMC Mortgage Corporation, as seller (in such capacity, the “Seller”) and as
master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”).
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT
On
or
prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor acquired the Mortgage Loans from
the
Seller. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will sell the Mortgage Loans and
certain other property to the Trust Fund and receive in consideration therefor
the Certificates, together evidencing the entire beneficial ownership interest
in the Trust Fund.
The
Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall make an election for the assets
constituting REMIC I to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a REMIC.
On the Startup Day, the REMIC I Regular Interests will be designated the
“regular interests” in such REMIC, and the Class I-R-1 Certificates will be
designated the sole class of “residual interests” in such REMIC.
The
Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall make an election for the assets
constituting REMIC II to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a
REMIC.
On the Startup Day, the REMIC II Regular Interests will be designated the
“regular interests” in such REMIC, and the Class II-R Certificates will be
designated the sole class of “residual interests” in such REMIC.
The
Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall make an election for the assets
constituting REMIC III to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a
REMIC.
On the Startup Day, the REMIC III Regular Interests will be designated the
“regular interests” in such REMIC, and the Class I-R-2 Interest will be
designated the sole class of “residual interests” in such REMIC.
The
Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall establish and maintain the ES Trust,
which
shall issue the Certificates (other than the Class I-R-1 Certificates and
the
Class II-R Certificates) and the corpus of which shall consist of the REMIC
III
Regular Interests and the Class I-R-2 Interest and all proceeds of thereof
and
be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of such Certificates.
It
is intended, for federal income tax purposes, that the ES Trust will qualify
as
a grantor trust under Subpart E, part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the
Code, and that, to the fullest extent possible, beneficial ownership of a
Certificate (other than the Class I-R-1 Certificates and the Class II-R
Certificates) will be treated as direct beneficial ownership of each individual,
uncertificated REMIC III Regular Interest or Class I-R-2 Interest held by
the ES
Trust for which such Certificate is designated as the Corresponding Certificate
in Section 5.01(c)(iii).
The
Mortgage Loans will have an Outstanding Principal Balance as of the Cut-off
Date, after deducting all Scheduled Principal due on or before the Cut-off
Date,
of $299,959,137.44. The initial principal amount of the Certificates
will not exceed such Outstanding Principal Balance.
The
Mortgage Loans have been divided into two Loan Groups, designated as Loan
Group
I and Loan Group II. The Group I Mortgage Loans will have an Outstanding
Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, after deducting all Scheduled
Principal due on or before the Cut-off Date, of $175,129,610.94. The Group
II
Mortgage Loans will have an Outstanding Principal Balance as of the Cut-off
Date, after deducting all Scheduled Principal due on or before the Cut-off
Date,
of $124,829,526.50. The Group I Certificates and Group II Certificates shall
receive distributions solely with respect to the Group I Mortgage Loans and
Group II Mortgage Loans, respectively.
In
consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee agree as follows:

Property by a court of competent jurisdiction in an amount less than the

Delinquent:
The delinquency method used for calculations with respect to the Mortgage
Loans
will be in accordance with the methodology used by the Mortgage Bankers
Association. Under this method, a mortgage loan is considered "30 days or
more
Delinquent" if the borrower fails to make a scheduled payment prior to the
mortgage loan’s first succeeding due date. For example, if a securitization had
a closing date occurring in August and a cut-off date of August 1, a mortgage
loan with a payment due on July 1 that remained unpaid as of the close of
business on July 31 would be described as 30 days delinquent as of the cut-off
date. A mortgage loan would be considered "60 days or more Delinquent" with
respect to such scheduled payment if such scheduled payment were not made
prior
to the close of business on the day prior to the mortgage loan’s second
succeeding due date (or, in the preceding example, if the mortgage loan with
a
payment due on June 1 remained unpaid as of the close of business on July
31).
Similarly for "90 days or more Delinquent" and so on. Unless otherwise
specified, with respect to any date of determination, determinations of
delinquency are made as of the last day of the prior calendar month. Mortgage
Loans with Due Dates which are not the first of the month are treated as
if the
Due Date was the first of the following month. This method of
determining delinquencies is also referred to as the MBA method.

of Mortgage Loans;

Issuance of Certificates
Section
2.01 Conveyance
of Mortgage Loans to Trustee.
(a) The
Depositor concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
sells,
transfers and assigns to the Trust without recourse all its right, title
and
interest in and to (i) the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule, including all interest and principal due with respect to the
Mortgage
Loans after the Cut-off Date, but excluding any payments of principal and
interest due on or prior to the Cut-off Date; (ii) such assets as shall
from
time to time be credited or are required by the terms of this Agreement
to be
credited to the Master Servicer Collection Account and the Distribution
Account,
(iii) such assets relating to the Mortgage Loans as from time to time may
be
held by the Servicers in the Protected Accounts, the Master Servicer in
the
Master Servicer Collection Account and the Trustee in the Distribution
Account,
(iv) any REO Property, (v) the Required Insurance Policies and any amounts
paid
or payable by the insurer under any Insurance Policy (to the extent the
mortgagee has a claim thereto), (vi) the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
to the
extent provided in Subsection 2.03(a), (vii) the rights with respect to
the
Servicing Agreements as assigned to the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders by the Assignment Agreement and (viii) all proceeds
of the
foregoing. Although it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that
the
conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage
Loans and other assets in the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall
constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan, in the event that such conveyance
is deemed to be a loan, it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement
that
the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee a first priority
perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest
in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Fund,
and that
this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
Moreover, if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create
a
security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other assets constituting
the
Trust Fund, then it is intended as follows: (a) this Agreement shall also
be
deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and
9 of the
Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the conveyance provided for in this Section
shall
be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest
in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans
and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing
into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without
limitation all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Distribution
Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other
property;
(c) the possession by the Trustee or its agent of the Mortgage Loans and
such
other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents
or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for
purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-305
of the
Uniform Commercial Code; (d) the Trustee shall be deemed to be the “securities
intermediary,” as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(14)(ii) of the New
York Uniform Commercial Code, that in the ordinary course of its business
maintains “securities accounts” for others, as such term is used in Section
8-501 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; (e) the “securities
intermediary’s jurisdiction” as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code
shall be the State of New York; (f) the Trustee is not a “clearing corporation”,
as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(5) of the New York Uniform
Commercial Code and (g) notifications to persons holding such property,
and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed to be notifications to or acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable)
of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law. The Depositor, the Seller and the Trustee agree that it
is not
intended that any mortgage loan be conveyed to the Trust that is a “High-Cost
Home Loan” as defined by applicable predatory lending laws.
(b) In
connection with the above transfer and assignment, the Depositor hereby
delivers, or hereby causes to be delivered, to the Custodian, as agent for
the
Trustee, with respect to each Mortgage Loan:
(i) the
original Mortgage Note, endorsed without recourse (a) in blank or to the
order
of the Trustee or (b) in the case of a Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS
system, endorsed in blank, in either case showing an unbroken chain of
endorsements from the original payee thereof to the Person endorsing such
Mortgage Note to the Trustee or to blank, or lost note affidavit together
with a
copy of the related Mortgage Note;
(ii) the
original Mortgage and, if the related Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, noting
the
presence of the MIN and language indicating that such Mortgage Loan is a
MOM
Loan, which shall have been recorded (or, for Mortgage Loans other than the
EMC
Flow Loans, if the original is not available, a copy), with evidence of such
recording indicated thereon (or if clause (w) in the proviso below applies,
shall be in recordable form);
(iii) unless
the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS system, the original assignment
to
blank, or the assignment (either an original or a certified copy, which may
be
in the form of a blanket assignment if permitted in the jurisdiction in which
the Mortgaged Property is located) to “U.S. Bank National Association, as
Trustee” or to blank, with evidence of recording with respect to each Mortgage
Loan in the name of the Trustee thereon (or if clause (w) in the proviso
below
applies or for Mortgage Loans with respect to which the related Mortgaged
Property is located in a state other than Maryland or an Opinion of Counsel
has
been provided as set forth in this Section 2.01(b), shall be in recordable
form);
(iv) all
intervening assignments of the Security Instrument, if applicable and only
to
the extent available to the Depositor with evidence of recording
thereon;
(v) the
original or a copy of the policy or certificate of primary mortgage guaranty
insurance, to the extent available, if any;
(vi) the
original policy of title insurance or mortgagee’s certificate of title insurance
or commitment or binder for title insurance or, in the event such original
title
policy has not been received from the title insurer, such original title
policy
will be delivered within one year of the Closing Date or, in the event such
original title policy is unavailable, a photocopy of such title policy or,
in
lieu thereof, a current lien search on the related Mortgaged Property;
and
(vii) originals
of all modification agreements, if applicable and available.
provided,
however, that in lieu of the foregoing, the Depositor may deliver to the
Custodian, as agent of the Trustee, the following documents, under the
circumstances set forth below: (w) in lieu of the original Security Instrument
(other than the Mortgages related to the EMC Flow Loans), assignments to
the
Trustee or intervening assignments thereof which have been delivered, are
being
delivered or will, upon receipt of recording information relating to the
Security Instrument required to be included thereon, be delivered to recording
offices for recording and have not been returned to the Depositor in time
to
permit their delivery as specified above, the Depositor may deliver, or cause
to
be delivered, a true copy thereof with a certification, on the face of such
copy, substantially as follows: “Certified to be a true and correct copy of the
original”; (x) in lieu of the Security Instrument, assignment to the Trustee or
intervening assignments thereof, if the applicable jurisdiction retains the
originals of such documents (as evidenced by a certification from the Depositor
to such effect) the Depositor may deliver photocopies of such documents
containing an original certification by the judicial or other governmental
authority of the jurisdiction where such documents were recorded; (y) in
lieu of
the Mortgages (other than the
Mortgages related to the EMC Flow Loans), assignment to the Trustee or in
blank
or intervening assignments thereof, if the applicable jurisdiction retains
the
originals of such documents (as evidenced by a certification from the Depositor
to such effect) the Depositor may deliver, or cause to be delivered, photocopies
of such documents containing an original certification by the judicial or
other
governmental authority of the jurisdiction where such documents were recorded;
and (z) in lieu of the Mortgage Notes relating to the Mortgage Loans
identified on Exhibit 5 to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Depositor
may deliver, or cause to be delivered, a lost note affidavit from the related
Seller; and (z) the Depositor shall not be required to deliver intervening
assignments or Mortgage Note endorsements between the related underlying
originator or underlying Seller and the related Seller, between the related
Seller and the Depositor, and between the Depositor and the Trustee; and
provided, further, however, that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have
been
prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the
Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents, may deliver, or cause
to
be delivered, to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, a certification
to
such effect and shall deposit all amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage
Loans
in the Master Servicer Collection Account on the Closing Date. The Depositor
shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such original documents (including
any
original documents as to which certified copies had previously been delivered)
to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, promptly after they are received.
The Depositor shall cause the related Seller, at its expense, to cause each
assignment of the Security Instrument to the Trustee to be recorded not later
than 180 days after the Closing Date, unless (a) such recordation is not
required by the Rating Agencies or an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the
Trustee has been provided to the Trustee (with a copy to the Custodian) which
states that recordation of such Security Instrument is not required to protect
the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loans or
(b)
MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of
the
Mortgage as the mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the Seller and
its
successor and assigns; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing,
each
assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Seller in the manner
described above, at no expense to the Trust or the Trustee or the Custodian,
as
its agent, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by the
Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating
not less than 25% of the Trust Fund, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default,
(iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating
to the
Seller and (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section
8.02 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller fails to pay the
cost
of recording the assignments, such expense will be paid by the Trustee and
the
Trustee shall be reimbursed for such expenses by the Trust in accordance
with
Section 9.05.
Section
2.02 Acceptance
of Mortgage Loans and Underlying Certificates by Trustee.
(a) The
Trustee acknowledges the sale, transfer and assignment of the Trust Fund
to it
by the Depositor and receipt of, subject to further review and the exceptions
which may be noted pursuant to the procedures described below, and declares
that
it holds, the documents (or certified copies thereof) delivered to the
Custodian, as its agent, pursuant to Section 2.01(b), and declares that it
will
continue to hold those documents and any amendments, replacements or supplements
thereto and all other assets of the Trust Fund delivered to it as Trustee
in
trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the related
Certificates. On the Closing Date, the Custodian, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans, shall acknowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan by delivery to
the
Depositor, the related Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee of an
Initial
Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit One to the related Custodial
Agreement, receipt of the Mortgage File, but without review of such Mortgage
File, except to the extent necessary to confirm that such Mortgage File contains
the related Mortgage Note or lost note affidavit. No later than 90 days after
the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, within
five
Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee or Custodian thereof), the
Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the related Certificateholders, to review
or
cause to be reviewed by the Custodian on its behalf (under the Custodial
Agreement), each Mortgage File delivered to it and to execute and deliver,
or
cause to be executed and delivered, to the Depositor, the related Seller,
the
Master Servicer and the Trustee an Interim Certification substantially in
the
form of Exhibit Two to the related Custodial Agreement. In conducting such
review, the Trustee or Custodian will ascertain whether all required documents
have been executed and received, and based on the Mortgage Loan Schedule,
whether those documents relate, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor
name,
original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans it has
received, as identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. In performing any
such
review, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, may conclusively rely
on the
purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the
purported genuineness of any signature thereon. If the Trustee or the Custodian,
as its agent, finds any document constituting part of the Mortgage File has
not
been executed or received, or to be unrelated, determined on the basis of
the
Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage
Loans identified in Exhibit B or to appear defective on its face (i.e. torn,
mutilated, or otherwise physically altered) (a “Material Defect”), the Trustee
or the Custodian, as its agent, shall, upon completion of the review of all
files, but in no event later than 90 days after the Closing Date, notify
the
Seller. In accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller
shall correct or cure any such defect within ninety (90) days from the date
of
notice from the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, of the defect and
if the
Seller fails to correct or cure the defect within such period, and such defect
materially and adversely affects the interests of the related Certificateholders
in the related Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce the related Seller’s
obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to, within 90 days
from
the Trustee’s or the Custodian’s notification, provide a Substitute Mortgage
Loan (if within two years of the Closing Date) or purchase such Mortgage
Loan at
the Purchase Price; provided that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage
Loan
to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the
Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date
such
breach was discovered; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely
to
the inability of the related Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument
or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the originals
of
such documents, or a certified copy have not been returned by the applicable
jurisdiction, the related Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage
Loan if the Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly
upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date.
The
foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the related
Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for
recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction
because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that
the
related Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording
office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that
such
documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or
the
Custodian, as its agent, shall be effected by the Seller within thirty days
of
its receipt of the original recorded document.
(b) No
later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian,
as its
agent, will review, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Mortgage
Files delivered to it and will execute and deliver or cause to be executed
and
delivered to the Depositor, the related Seller, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee a Final Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit Three
to the
related Custodial Agreement. In conducting such review, the Trustee or the
Custodian, as its agent, will ascertain whether an original of each document
required to be recorded has been returned from the recording office with
evidence of recording thereon or a certified copy has been obtained from
the
recording office. If the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, finds a
Material Defect, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall, upon
completion of the review of all files, but in no event later than 180 days
after
the Closing Date, notify the Seller (provided, however, that with respect
to
those documents described in subsections (b)(iv) and (viii) of Section 2.01,
the
Trustee’s and Custodian’s obligations shall extend only to the documents
actually delivered to the Custodian pursuant to such subsections). In accordance
with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the related Seller shall correct
or
cure any such defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Trustee
or
the Custodian, as its agent, of the Material Defect and if the related Seller
is
unable to cure such defect within such period, and if such defect materially
and
adversely affects the interests of the related Certificateholders in the
related
Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce the related Seller’s obligation under
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to, within 90 days from the Trustee’s or
Custodian’s notification, provide a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two
years of the Closing Date) or purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase
Price,
provided that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than
a
“qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such
cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date
such
breach was discovered, provided, however, that if such defect relates solely
to
the inability of the related Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument
or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy, because the originals
of such documents or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable
jurisdiction, the related Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage
Loan, if the related Seller delivers such original documents or certified
copy
promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing
Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that
the
related Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted
for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction
because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that
the
related Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording
office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that
such
documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or
the
Custodian, as its agent, shall be effected by the related Seller within thirty
days of its receipt of the original recorded document.
(c) In
the event that a Mortgage Loan is purchased by the related Seller in accordance
with Subsections 2.02(a) or (b) above, the related Seller shall remit to
the
Master Servicer the Purchase Price for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection
Account and the Seller shall provide to the Trustee written notification
detailing the components of the Purchase Price. Upon deposit of the Purchase
Price in the Master Servicer Collection Account, the Depositor shall notify
the
Trustee and the Custodian, as agent of the Trustee (upon receipt of a Request
for Release in the form of Exhibit D-1 and Exhibit D-2 attached hereto, as
applicable, with respect to such Mortgage Loan), shall release to the Seller
the
related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments
of transfer or assignment, without recourse, representation or warranty,
furnished to it by the related Seller, as are necessary to vest in the related
Seller title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan. Such purchase shall be
deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Purchase Price in immediately
available funds is received by the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall amend
the
Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such repurchase and shall promptly notify
the
Rating Agencies, the related Seller and the Trustee of such amendment. The
obligation of the related Seller to repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage
Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan as to which such a defect in a constituent
document exists shall be the sole remedy respecting such defect available
to the
related Certificateholders or to the Trustee on their behalf.
Section
2.03 Assignment
of Interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
(a) The
Depositor hereby assigns to the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders
of
the Certificates, all of its right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to the Depositor’s rights and
obligations pursuant to the Servicing Agreements (noting that the Seller
has
retained the right in the event of breach of the representations, warranties
and
covenants, if any, with respect to the related Mortgage Loans of the related
Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to enforce the provisions
thereof
and to seek all or any available remedies). The obligations of the related
Seller to substitute or repurchase, as applicable, a Mortgage Loan shall
be the
Trustee’s and the related Certificateholders’ sole remedy for any breach
thereof. At the request of the Trustee, the Depositor shall take such actions
as
may be necessary to enforce the above right, title and interest on behalf
of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders or shall execute such further documents
as
the Trustee may reasonably require in order to enable the Trustee to carry
out
such enforcement.
(b) If
the Depositor or the Trustee discovers a breach of any of the representations
and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which breach
materially and adversely affects the value of the interests of related
Certificateholders or the Trustee in the related Mortgage Loan, the party
discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice of the breach to
the
other parties to this Agreement. EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf
of Master Funding), within 90 days of its discovery or receipt of notice
that
such breach has occurred (whichever occurs earlier), shall cure the breach
in
all material respects or, subject to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
or
Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, shall purchase the Mortgage
Loan
or any property acquired with respect thereto from the Trustee; provided,
however, that if there is a breach of any representation set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as
applicable, and the Mortgage Loan or the related property acquired with respect
thereto has been sold, then EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master
Funding) shall pay, in lieu of the Purchase Price, any excess of the Purchase
Price over the Net Liquidation Proceeds received upon such sale; provided
further that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than
a
“qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure
or repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was
discovered. If the Net Liquidation Proceeds exceed the Purchase Price, any
excess shall be paid to EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding)
to the extent not required by law to be paid to the borrower. Any such purchase
by EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding) shall be made
by
providing an amount equal to the Purchase Price to the Master Servicer for
deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account and written notification
detailing the components of such Purchase Price to the Master Servicer. The
Depositor shall notify the Trustee and submit to the Custodian, as agent
for the
Trustee, a Request for Release, and the Custodian shall release, or the Trustee
shall cause the Custodian to release, to the Seller the related Mortgage
File
and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or
assignment furnished to it by EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master
Funding), without recourse, representation or warranty as are necessary to
vest
in the related Seller title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan or any
property acquired with respect thereto. Such purchase shall be deemed to
have
occurred on the date on which the Purchase Price in available funds is received
by the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule
to
reflect such repurchase and shall promptly notify the EMC (on its own behalf
and
on behalf of Master Funding), the Trustee and the Rating Agencies of such
amendment. Enforcement of the obligation of the Seller to purchase (or
substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for) any Mortgage Loan or any property
acquired with respect thereto (or pay the Purchase Price as set forth in
the
above proviso) as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the
Certificateholders or the Trustee on their behalf.
In
connection with any repurchase of a
Mortgage Loan or the cure of a breach of a representation or warranty set
forth
in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement pursuant to this Section
2.03, EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding) shall, or cause the
related Servicer
to, furnish to the Trustee
an officer’s certificate,
signed by a duly authorized officer of the related Seller or the related
Servicer, as the case may be, to the effect that such repurchase or cure
has
been made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
that
all conditions precedent to such repurchase or cure have been satisfied,
including, in the case of a repurchase, the delivery to the Trustee of the
Purchase Price or the excess of the Purchase Price over the Net Liquidation
Proceeds, if applicable, for deposit into the Distribution Account, together
with copies of the Opinion of Counsel, if any, required to be delivered pursuant
to Section 2.08 and the related Request for Release, on which the Trustee
may
rely. Solely for purposes of the Trustee providing an Assessment of
Compliance, upon receipt of the documentation specified in the preceding
sentence, the Trustee shall approve such repurchase or cure, as applicable,
and
which approval shall be based solely on the Trustee’s receipt of such
documentation and deposits, if applicable. It is understood
and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of the Seller to cure
the
breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 7 of the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement or to repurchase or substitute any Mortgage Loan
as to
which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedies
against the related Seller respecting such breach available to
Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee.
Section
2.04 Substitution
of Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in lieu of purchasing a Mortgage
Loan pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Sections 2.02 or
2.03
of this Agreement, EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding)
may,
no later than the date by which such purchase by the related Seller would
otherwise be required, tender to the Trustee a Substitute Mortgage Loan
accompanied by a certificate of an authorized officer of the Seller that
such
Substitute Mortgage Loan conforms to the requirements set forth in the
definition of “Substitute Mortgage Loan” in this Agreement; provided, however,
that substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section
2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, in lieu of purchase shall not be
permitted after the termination of the two-year period beginning on the Startup
Day; provided, further, that if the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan
to be
other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code,
any such cure or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date the
breach
was discovered. The Custodian, as agent for the Trustee, shall examine the
Mortgage File for any Substitute Mortgage Loan in the manner set forth in
Section 2.02(a) and the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall notify
EMC
(on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding), in writing, within five
Business Days after receipt, whether or not the documents relating to the
Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfy the requirements of Subsection 2.02(a).
Within
two Business Days after such notification, EMC (on its own behalf and on
behalf
of Master Funding) shall provide to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution
Account the amount, if any, by which the Outstanding Principal Balance as
of the
next preceding Due Date of the Mortgage Loan for which substitution is being
made, after giving effect to the Scheduled Principal due on such date, exceeds
the Outstanding Principal Balance as of such date of the Substitute Mortgage
Loan, after giving effect to Scheduled Principal due on such date, which
amount
shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as if it were the payment
by
EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding) of the Purchase Price
for the purchase of a Mortgage Loan by EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf
of
Master Funding). After such notification to EMC (on its own behalf and on
behalf
of Master Funding) and, if any such excess exists, upon receipt of such deposit,
the Trustee shall accept such Substitute Mortgage Loan which shall thereafter
be
deemed to be a Mortgage Loan hereunder. In the event of such a substitution,
accrued interest on the Substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the
substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such
month
shall be the property of the Trust Fund and accrued interest for such month
on
the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal
Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the related
Seller. The Scheduled Principal on a Substitute Mortgage Loan due on the
Due
Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the related Seller
and the Scheduled Principal on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution
is
made due on such Due Date shall be the property of the Trust Fund. Upon
acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage Loan (and delivery to the Custodian
of a
Request for Release for such Mortgage Loan), the Custodian, as agent for
the
Trustee, shall release to the related Seller the related Mortgage File related
to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, and shall execute and deliver
all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, representation
or
warranty in form as provided to it as are necessary to vest in the related
Seller title to and rights under any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as
applicable. EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding) shall
deliver to the Custodian the documents related to the Substitute Mortgage
Loan
in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
or
Subsections 2.01(b) and 2.02(b) of this Agreement, as applicable, with the
date
of acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage Loan deemed to be the Closing Date
for
purposes of the time periods set forth in those Subsections. The representations
and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall be
deemed
to have been made by the related Seller with respect to each Substitute Mortgage
Loan as of the date of acceptance of such Mortgage Loan by the Trustee. The
Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such
substitution and shall provide a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule
to
EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding), the Trustee and
the
Rating Agencies.
In
connection with any substitution of
a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04 EMC (on its own behalf and
on
behalf of Master Funding) shall, or cause the related Servicer to, furnish
to
the Trustee an officer’s certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer of EMC
(on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding) or the related Servicer,
as
the case may be, to the effect that such substitution has been made in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that all
conditions precedent to such substitution have been satisfied, together with
copies of the Opinion of Counsel, if any, required to be delivered pursuant
to
Section 2.08 and the related Request for Release, on which the Trustee may
rely. Solely for purposes of the Trustee providing an Assessment of
Compliance, upon receipt of the deposit specified in the preceding paragraph,
if
applicable, and the documentation specified in the preceding sentence, the
Trustee shall approve such substitution and which approval shall be based
solely
on the Trustee’s receipt of such documentation and deposits. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of EMC (on
its
own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding) to substitute any Mortgage Loan
as
to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole
remedies against the Seller respecting such breach available to
Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee.
Section
2.05 Issuance
of Certificates.
(a) The
Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans and the other
assets comprising the Trust Fund and, concurrently therewith, the Trustee

of
REMIC III for the benefit of the holders of the REMIC III Regular Interests
and
Class I-R-2 Interest. The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the REMIC I Regular
Interests (which are uncertificated) and the REMIC II Regular Interests (which
are uncertificated) and the other assets of REMIC III and declares that it
holds
and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the
holders
of the REMIC III Regular Interests and Class I-R-2 Interest.
(d) The
Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to the Trustee without
recourse all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the
REMIC
III Regular Interests, the Class I-R-2 Interest and the other assets of the
ES
Trust for the benefit of the holders of the Regular Certificates and the
Class
I-R-2 Certificates. The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the REMIC III Regular
Interests (which are uncertificated), the Class I-R-2 Interest (which is
uncertificated) and the other assets of the ES Trust and declares that it
holds
and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the

provision of the charter or by-laws of EMC or (B) conflict with, result in
a
breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a default under, the terms
of
any other material agreement or instrument to which EMC is a party or by

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 EMC’s ability to perform
or meet any of its obligations under this Agreement.
(d) EMC

and is a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
pursuant to sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act.

Loans or to perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement in
accordance with the terms hereof or thereof.
(f) No

or

contemplated hereby, or if any such consent, approval, authorization or order
is
required, EMC has obtained the same.
(g) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date (or such other date
as may
be specified in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), EMC,
as
Seller, hereby remakes and restates each of the representations and warranties
set forth in Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the Depositor
and the Trustee to the same extent as if fully set forth herein.
Upon
discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or
warranty set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to
the
Mortgage Loans that materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach
shall
give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties. EMC, in its capacity
as
Seller, hereby covenants with respect to the representations and warranties
set
forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage
Loans, that within 90 days of the discovery of a breach of any representation
or
warranty set forth therein that materially and adversely affects the interests
of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach
in all
material respects and, if such breach is not so cured, (i) if such 90 day
period
expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such
Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) from the Trust Fund and substitute in
its place a Replacement Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage
Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner
set
forth below; provided that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above or
repurchase pursuant to (ii) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery
to
the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel if required by Section 2.08 hereof and
any
such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the
additional delivery to the applicable Custodian of a Request for Release;
provided further that, if such breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be
other
than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any
such cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the
date
such breach was discovered. The Trustee shall give prompt written notice
to the
parties hereto of EMC’s failure to cure such breach as set forth in the
preceding sentence. EMC shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and
the
Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or the
Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach. To enable the
Master Servicer to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule, EMC shall, unless it
cures
such breach in a timely fashion pursuant to this Section 2.07, promptly notify
the Master Servicer whether it intends either to repurchase, or to substitute
for, the Mortgage Loan affected by such breach. With respect to the
representations and warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are
made
to the best of EMC’s knowledge, if it is discovered by any of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, EMC or the Trustee that the substance of such representation
and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects
the value of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding EMC’s lack of knowledge
with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, EMC (in
its
capacity as Seller) shall nevertheless be required to cure, substitute for
or
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan in accordance with the
foregoing.
With
respect to any Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, EMC (in its capacity as
Seller) shall deliver to the Trustee or the related Custodian on its behalf
for
the benefit of the Certificateholders such documents and agreements as are
required by Section 2.01. No substitution will be made in any calendar month
after the Determination Date for such month. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
such
substitution must be done within two years of the Closing Date. Scheduled
Payments due with respect to Replacement Mortgage Loans in the Due Period
related to the Distribution Date on which such proceeds are to be distributed
shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by EMC (in its capacity
as Seller). For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders
will include the Scheduled Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for the
related Due Period and thereafter EMC (in its capacity as Seller) shall be
entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage
Loan. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the
benefit
of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of each such Deleted Mortgage
Loan and the substitution of the Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans and the
Master Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee
and the related Custodian. Upon such substitution, the Replacement Mortgage
Loan
or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects,
and
EMC shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Replacement Mortgage
Loan
or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties
set
forth in Section 7 or Section 8 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with
respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit
into
the Master Servicer Collection Account of the amount required to be deposited
therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following
paragraph and receipt by the related Custodian of a Request for Release for
such
Mortgage Loan, the related Custodian shall release to EMC the Mortgage File
relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan and held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at EMC’s direction
such instruments of transfer or assignment as have been prepared by EMC,
in each
case without recourse, representation or warranty as shall be necessary to
vest
in EMC, or its respective designee, title to the Trustee’s interest in any
Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section
2.07.
For
any
month in which EMC substitutes one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for
a
Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (if
any) by
which the aggregate principal balance of all the Replacement Mortgage Loans
as
of the date of substitution is less than the Stated Principal Balance (after
application of the principal portion of the Scheduled Payment due in the
month
of substitution) of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. An amount equal to the aggregate
of such deficiencies, described in the preceding sentence for any Distribution
Date (such amount, the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”) shall be deposited into
the Master Servicer Collection Account, by EMC upon its delivering such
Replacement Mortgage Loan 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.
In
the
event that EMC (in its capacity as Seller) shall have repurchased a Mortgage
Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited into the Master Servicer
Collection Account maintained by the Master Servicer, on the Determination
Date
for the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which EMC
became obligated to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon such
deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel if required
by Section 2.08 and the receipt of a Request for Release, the related Custodian
shall release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders to EMC, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at such
Person’s direction the related instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by
EMC, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall
be
necessary to transfer title from the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and transfer the Trustee’s interest to EMC to any Mortgage
Loan purchased pursuant to this Section 2.07. It is understood and agreed
that
the obligation under this Agreement of EMC to cure, repurchase or replace
any
Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall
constitute the sole remedies against EMC (in its capacity as Seller) respecting
such breach available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor or the
Trustee.
The
representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.07 hereof shall
survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Loans and Mortgage Files to the
Trustee or the related Custodian for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.
Section
2.08 Delivery
of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with Substitutions and
Repurchases.
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision
of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default
or
as to which default is not imminent, no repurchase or substitution pursuant
to
Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 or 2.07 shall be made unless the Seller delivers
to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect
that
such repurchase or substitution would not (i) result in the imposition of
the
tax on “prohibited transactions” of the any REMIC or contributions after the
Closing Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code,
respectively, or (ii) cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify
as
a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. Any Mortgage Loan
as
to which repurchase or substitution was delayed pursuant to this paragraph
shall
be repurchased or the substitution therefor shall occur (subject to compliance
with Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 or 2.07) upon the earlier of (a) the occurrence
of a default or imminent default with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (b)
receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee
to the
effect that such repurchase or substitution, as applicable, will not result
in
the events described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of the preceding
sentence.
ARTICLE
III
Administration
of the Trust Fund and Servicing of Mortgage Loans
Section
3.01 Master
Servicer.
The
Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the
Servicers to service and administer their respective Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement and shall
have
full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary
or
desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. In
performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a
manner
consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master
Servicer shall oversee and consult with each Servicer as necessary from
time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall
receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided
to
the Master Servicer by each Servicer and shall cause each Servicer to perform
and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or
observed by such Servicer under its applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master
Servicer shall independently and separately monitor each Servicer’s servicing
activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results
of
such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on
a
monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers’ and Master
Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, the
Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Trustee, in the form
of
Exhibit R attached hereto and as shall be necessary in order for it to prepare
the statements specified in Section 6.05(a) by 12:00 p.m. CST on the 5th
Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, and prepare any other information
and statements required to be forwarded by the Master Servicer hereunder;
provided, however, in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to provide
such information to the Trustee earlier than 12:00 p.m. CST on the 19th calendar
day of
the month. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage
Loan
monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicers pursuant to the
applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall be entitled
to conclusively rely on the Mortgage Loan data provided by the related Servicer
and shall have no liability for any errors in such Mortgage Loan
data.
In
addition to the foregoing, in connection with a modification of any Mortgage
Loan by a Servicer, if the Master Servicer is unable to enforce the obligations
of the Servicer with respect to such modification, the Master Servicer shall
notify the Depositor of such Servicer’s failure to comply with the terms of the
Servicing Agreement or this Agreement. If the Servicing Agreement
requires the approval of the Master Servicer for a modification to a Mortgage
Loan, the Master Servicer shall approve such modification if, based upon
its
receipt of written notification from the related Servicer outlining the terms
of
such modification and appropriate supporting documentation, the Master Servicer
determines that the modification is permitted under the terms of the Servicing
Agreement and that any conditions to such modification set forth in the
Servicing Agreement have been satisfied. Furthermore, if the
Servicing Agreement requires the oversight and monitoring of loss mitigation
measures with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer
will
monitor any loss mitigation procedure or recovery action related to a defaulted
Mortgage Loan (to the extent it receives notice of such from the related
Servicer) and confirm that such loss mitigation procedure or recovery action
is
initiated, conducted and concluded in accordance with any timeframes and
any
other requirements set forth in the Servicing Agreement, and the Master Servicer
shall notify the Depositor in any case in which the Master Servicer believes
that the related Servicer is not complying with such timeframes and/or other
requirements.
The
Trustee shall furnish the Servicers and the Master Servicer with any powers
of
attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit P hereto and upon written request
from a Servicing Officer other documents in form as provided to it necessary
or
appropriate to enable the Servicers and the Master Servicer to service and
administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property. The Trustee shall
be
indemnified by the Master Servicer for any costs, liabilities or expenses
incurred by it in connection with such powers of attorney.
The
Trustee or the Custodian shall provide access to the records and documentation
in possession of the Trustee regarding the Mortgage Loans and REO Property
and
the servicing thereof to the related Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the
supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded
only
upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at
the
office of the Trustee; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required
by
law, the Trustee shall not be required to provide access to such records
and
documentation if the provision thereof would violate the legal right to privacy
of any Mortgagor. The Trustee shall allow representatives of the above entities
to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment
for that purpose at a charge that covers the Trustee’s actual
costs.
The
Trustee shall execute upon the related Servicer’s written instruction (which
includes the documents to be signed) and deliver to the related Servicer
and the
Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other
appropriate documents necessary or desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee’s
sale with respect to a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action brought
to
obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Security
Instrument; (iii) obtain a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or
(iv)
enforce any other rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or Security
Instrument or otherwise available at law or equity.
Section
3.02 Tax
Entity-Related Covenants.
For
as
long as REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III and the ES Trust shall exist, the
Trustee
shall act in accordance herewith to assure continuing treatment of each of
REMIC
I, REMIC II and REMIC III as a REMIC and the ES Trust as a grantor trust
for
federal income tax purposes, and the Trustee shall comply with any directions
of
the Depositor, the related Servicer or the Master Servicer to ensure such
continuing treatment. In particular, the Trustee shall not (unless
expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement) (a) sell or permit
the
sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of
deposits in an Account unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of
the
Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has received a REMIC
Opinion addressed to the Trustee prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund;
(b)
other than with respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, Section 2.04 or Section 2.07 of this Agreement, as applicable,
accept
any contribution to REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III after the Startup Day
without
receipt of a REMIC Opinion addressed to the Trustee; (c) acquire any assets
for
REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III other than any REO Property after the Startup
Day
without receipt of a REMIC Opinion; or (d) vary the corpus of the ES
Trust.
Section
3.03 Monitoring
of Servicers.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Trustee and the
Depositor the non-compliance by each Servicer with its duties under the related
Servicing Agreement. In the review of each Servicer’s activities, the Master
Servicer may rely upon an officer’s certificate of the Servicer (or similar
document signed by an officer of the Servicer) with regard to the Servicer’s
compliance with the terms of its Servicing Agreement. In the event that the
Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that a Servicer (other than
the
Company) should be terminated in accordance with its Servicing Agreement,
or
that a notice should be sent pursuant to such Servicing Agreement with respect
to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds
for
such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the
Trustee
thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other
action as it deems appropriate. In the event that the Master
Servicer, in its judgment, determines that the Company should be terminated
in
accordance with the EMC Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent
pursuant to the EMC Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of
an
event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination,
the
Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee thereof in writing.
Pursuant to its receipt of such written notification from the Master Servicer,
the Trustee shall issue such notice of termination to the Company or take
such
other action as it deems appropriate.
(b) The
Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders,
shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the related Servicing
Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer, other than the Company,
fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement,
subject to
the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer
thereunder and act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or to cause
the
Trustee to enter into a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer
selected by the Master Servicer; provided, however, it is understood and
acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition
(not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully
transferred to such successor Servicer. In the event that the Company fails
to
perform its obligations in accordance with the EMC Servicing Agreement, subject
to the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee
in writing of such failure. Pursuant to its receipt of such notification
from
the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall terminate the rights and obligations
of
the Company under the EMC Servicing Agreement and enter in to a new Servicing
Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the Trustee; provided, however,
it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be
a
period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing
functions can be fully transferred to such successor Servicer. In either
event,
such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of
claims, termination of the Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of other
appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent
and at such time as the Master Servicer (or in the case the Company is
terminated as the Servicer, the successor servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable) in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the
owner
of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of
such
enforcement at its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer shall not
be
required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that
the
Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and
expenses in pursuing such action. In the event that the Company is terminated
as
the Servicer, the Trustee shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its
own
expense, subject to its right to be reimbursed for such costs from the
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.03(c); provided that the Trustee
shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the
extent that the Trustee shall have received reasonable indemnity for its
costs
and expenses in pursuing such action. Nothing herein shall impose any obligation
on the part of the Trustee to assume or succeed to the duties or obligations
of
the Company or the Master Servicer unless the Trustee has not been able to
find
a successor servicer or a successor master servicer.
(c) In
the event that the Company is terminated as Servicer, to the extent that
the
costs and expenses of the Trustee related to any termination of the Company,
or
the enforcement or prosecution of related claims, rights or remedies, or
the
appointment of a successor Servicer (including, without limitation, (i) all
legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated
with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Company as a result
of an
event of default by the Company as a Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses
associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing
files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation
of
such servicing data as may be required by the successor Servicer to correct
any
errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the
successor Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related
Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the Company after
such termination, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of such
costs
and expenses from the Distribution Account. In all other cases, to the
extent that
the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer related to any termination
of a
Servicer (other than the Company), appointment of a
successor Servicer
or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect
to any Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal
costs
and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an
evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an
event
of default by such Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with
the
complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing
data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data
as
may be required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or
insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor
servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Servicing
Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer,
the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses
from the Master Servicer Collection Account.
(d) The
Master Servicer shall require each Servicer to comply with the remittance
requirements and other obligations set forth in the related Servicing
Agreement.
(e) If
the Master Servicer acts as a servicer, it shall not be liable for losses
of the
predecessor Servicer or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer,
or
deemed to have made any representations and warranties of the related Servicer,
if any, that it replaces.
Section
3.04 Fidelity
Bond.
The
Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity
bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with
respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on
such
Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance
of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The errors and omissions
insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount
generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or
trustees.
Section
3.05 Power
to Act; Procedures.
The
Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full
power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of
Article X hereof, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or
desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the
Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i)
to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Holders of the Certificates and the
Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents,
(ii)
to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the
Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds,
Liquidation Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries, and (iv) to effectuate
foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property
securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions
of
this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided,
however, that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its
responsibilities under Section 3.03, shall not authorize any Servicer to)
knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause
to
be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties
more
specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken
or not
taken, as the case may be, may cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail
to
qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund
(including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined
in
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set
forth
in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Master Servicer has received an
Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the
effect
that the contemplated action would not cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III
to
fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon REMIC
I,
REMIC II or REMIC III. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon
written request from a Servicing Officer, with any powers of attorney empowering
the Master Servicer or any Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge,
and to
foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal,
prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or
the
Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement and
this
Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents,
as
the Master Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master
service
and administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in
each
case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee
shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the
Master
Servicer or any Servicer). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been
advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to
be
taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the
Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of
such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall
join
with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 9.11
hereof. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall
be
an independent contractor and shall, except in those instances where it is
taking action in the name of the Trust, not be deemed to be the agent of
the
Trust.
Section
3.06 Due-on-Sale
Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
To
the
extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage
Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall
cause
the Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with the applicable
Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a
due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance
with
the applicable Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan
is
assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance
with the applicable Servicing Agreement.
Section
3.07 Release
of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon
becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt
by
any Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in
a
manner customary for such purposes for payment to related Certificateholders
on
the next Distribution Date, the Servicer will, if required under the applicable
Servicing Agreement (or if the applicable Servicer does not, the Master Servicer
may), promptly furnish to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, two copies
of
a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit D (or as otherwise provided
in the Custodial Agreement) hereto signed by a Servicing Officer or in a
mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on
its
face, originate from a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include
a
statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such
payment that are required to be deposited in the Protected Account maintained
by
the applicable Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 or by the applicable Servicer
pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement have been or will be so
deposited) and shall request that the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee,
deliver to the applicable Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt
of
such certification and request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee,
shall
promptly release the related Mortgage File to the applicable Servicer and
the
Trustee and Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to
such
Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, each Servicer is authorized,
to
give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that
secured
the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage
without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage,
which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall
be
delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor
of
such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in
connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case
may
be, shall be chargeable to the applicable Protected Account.
(b) From
time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan and in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, upon written
instruction from such Servicer or the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall
execute
such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by a Servicer
or the Master Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and
as are
necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Custodian, on behalf
of the Trustee, shall, upon the request of a Servicer or the Master Servicer,
and delivery to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, of two copies of
a
request for release signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form
of
Exhibit D (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu
of a
signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release the related
Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the Servicer or the Master
Servicer. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Servicer or the Master Servicer
to return the Mortgage File to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, when
the
need therefor by the Servicer or the Master Servicer no longer exists unless
the
Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate
of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage
File
shall be released by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to the Servicer
or
the Master Servicer.
Section
3.08 Documents,
Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer to Be Held for
Trustee.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall transmit and each Servicer (to the extent required
by the
related Servicing Agreement) shall transmit to the Trustee or Custodian such
documents and instruments coming into the possession of the Master Servicer
or
such Servicer from time to time as are required by the terms hereof, or in
the
case of the Servicers, the applicable Servicing Agreement, to be delivered
to
the Trustee or Custodian. Any funds received by the Master Servicer or by
a
Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected
by the
Master Servicer or by a Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds
or
Subsequent Recoveries in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the
benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders subject to the right of
the
Master Servicer to retain or withdraw from the Master Servicer Collection
Account the Master Servicing Compensation and other amounts provided in this
Agreement, and to the right of each Servicer to retain or withdraw its Servicing
Fee and other amounts as provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement.
The
Master Servicer and each Servicer shall provide access to information and
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, its agents and
accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business
hours, to related Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations,
banks or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC
and the
supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners
of
any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so
required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or
other
regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only
upon
reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices
of
the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master
Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such
information.
(b) All
Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the
Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection
of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries, shall be held by the Master Servicer for
and
on behalf of the Trustee and the related Certificateholders and shall be
and
remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee; provided, however,
that
the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against,
and
deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable
to the
Master Servicer or such Servicer to the extent provided under this Agreement
or
the applicable Servicing Agreement.
Section
3.09 Standard
Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance Policies.
(a) For
each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the
Servicers under the related Servicing Agreement to maintain or cause to be
maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and, where applicable, flood
insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of the related Servicing
Agreement. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with
insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in the applicable
Servicing Agreement and that no earthquake or other additional insurance
is to
be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on property acquired in
respect
of a defaulted loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations
as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional
insurance.
(b) Pursuant
to Section 4.01 and 4.02, any amounts collected by the Servicers or the Master
Servicer, or by any Servicer, under any insurance policies (other than amounts
to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the
related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the applicable
Servicing Agreement) shall be deposited into the Master Servicer Collection
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.02 and 4.03. Any cost
incurred by the Master Servicer or any Servicer in maintaining any such
insurance if the Mortgagor defaults in its obligation to do so shall be added
to
the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan where the terms of the Mortgage
Loan so
permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be
taken
into account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to
Certificateholders and shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer or such
Servicer pursuant to Sections 4.02 and 4.03.
Section
3.10 Presentment
of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.
The
Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing
Agreement) cause the related Servicer to prepare and present on behalf of
the
Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under the Insurance Policies
and
take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or
enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery
under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed
to a Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies,
bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the Master Servicer Collection
Account for deposit in the Distribution Account upon receipt, except that
any
amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the
related Mortgaged Property, which repair or restoration the owner of such
Mortgaged Property or EMC, as applicable, has agreed to make as a condition
precedent to the presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the
insurer under any applicable Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or
remitted).
Section
3.11 Maintenance
of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall not take, or authorize any Servicer (to the extent
such
action is prohibited under the applicable Servicing Agreement) to take, any
action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer
or such Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer
shall
use its best reasonable efforts to cause each Servicer (to the extent required
under the related Servicing Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the
extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such
insurance), primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing
Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not authorize
any Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement)
to,
cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that
is in
effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required
to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of
this
Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
(b) The
Master Servicer agrees to present, or to cause each Servicer (to the extent
required under the related Servicing Agreement) to present, on behalf of
the
Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable
action
as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 4.01 and
4.02,
any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or any Servicer under any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Master Servicer Collection
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections 4.02 and 4.03.
Section
3.12 Trustee
to Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies and
Documents.
The
Trustee (or the Custodian, as directed by the Trustee), shall retain possession
and custody of the originals (to the extent available) of any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policies, or certificate of insurance if applicable, and any
certificates of renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time to
time
as contemplated by this Agreement. Until all amounts distributable in respect
of
the Certificates have been distributed in full and the Master Servicer otherwise
has fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement, the Trustee (or its
Custodian, if any, as directed by the Trustee) shall also retain possession
and
custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms
and
conditions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver
or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as directed by the
Trustee), upon the execution or receipt thereof the originals of any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies, any certificates of renewal, and such other
documents or instruments that constitute portions of the Mortgage File that
come
into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time.
Section
3.13 Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The
Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the
related Servicing Agreement) to foreclose upon, repossess, pursue loss
mitigation practices or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged
Properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue
in
default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection
of delinquent payments, all in accordance with the applicable Servicing
Agreement.
Section
3.14 Compensation
for the Master Servicer.
The
Master Servicer will be entitled to all income and gain realized from any
investment of funds in the Master Servicer Collection Account, pursuant to
Article IV, for the performance of its activities hereunder. Servicing
compensation in the form of assumption fees, if any, late payment charges,
as
collected, if any, or otherwise (including any prepayment premium or penalty)
shall be retained by the applicable Servicer and shall not be deposited in
the
related Protected Account. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall
not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this
Agreement.
Section
3.15 REO
Property.
(a) In
the event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO Property in respect
of
any related Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued
to
the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the related Certificateholders.
The
Master Servicer shall, to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing
Agreement, cause the applicable Servicer to sell any REO Property as
expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. Pursuant to
its
efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall cause the
applicable Servicer to protect and conserve, such REO Property in the manner
and
to the extent required by the applicable Servicing Agreement, in accordance
with
the REMIC Provisions and in a manner that does not result in a tax on “net
income from foreclosure property” or cause such REO Property to fail to qualify
as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the
Code.
(b) The
Master Servicer shall, to the extent required by the related Servicing
Agreement, cause the applicable Servicer to deposit all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in the related

(c) The

Property.
(d) To
the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement, the Liquidation Proceeds

Section
3.16 Annual
Statement as to Compliance.
The
Master Servicer shall deliver (or otherwise make available) to the Depositor
and
the Trustee not later than March 15th of each
calendar
year beginning in 2008, an Officer’s Certificate (an “Annual Statement of
Compliance”) stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer
during the preceding calendar year and of its performance under this Agreement
has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such
officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all
of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout
such
year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any
material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and
the
nature and status of the cure provisions thereof. Such Annual
Statement of Compliance shall contain no restrictions or limitations on its
use. The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligations of each
Servicer, to the extent set forth in the related Servicing Agreement, to
deliver
a similar Annual Statement of Compliance by that Servicer to the Depositor
and
the Trustee as described above as and when required with respect to the Master
Servicer. In the event that certain servicing responsibilities with
respect to any Mortgage Loan have been delegated by the Master Servicer or
a
Servicer to a subservicer or subcontractor, each such entity shall cause
such
subservicer or subcontractor (and with respect to each Servicer, the Master
Servicer shall enforce the obligation of such Servicer to the extent required
under the related Servicing Agreement) to deliver a similar Annual Statement
of
Compliance by such subservicer or subcontractor to the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee as described above as and when required with respect
to
the Master Servicer or the related Servicer (as the case may be).
Failure
of the Master Servicer to comply with this Section 3.16 (including with respect
to the timeframes required herein) shall be deemed an Event of Default, and
at
the written direction of the Depositor the Trustee shall, in addition to
whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity
or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon
notice
immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof
without compensating the Master Servicer for the same (but subject to the
Master
Servicer’s rights to payment of any Master Servicing Compensation and
reimbursement of all amounts for which it is entitled to be reimbursed prior
to
the date of termination). This paragraph shall supersede any other provision
in
this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
In
the event the Master Servicer, any
Servicer or any subservicer
or subcontractor engaged by either such party is terminated or resigns pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, or any other applicable agreement in the
case of
a Servicer, a subservicer or subcontractor, as the case may be, such party
shall
provide an Annual Statement of Compliance pursuant to this Section 3.16 or
to
the related section of such other applicable agreement, as the case may be,
as
to the performance of its obligations with respect to the period of time
it was
subject to this Agreement or any other applicable agreement, as the case
may be
notwithstanding any such termination or resignation.
Section
3.17 Assessments
of Compliance and Attestation Reports.
Pursuant
to Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation
AB,
each of the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian (to the extent
set
forth in this Section) (each, an “Attesting Party”), each at its own expense,
shall deliver (or otherwise make available) to the Master Servicer, the Trustee
and the Depositor on or before March 15th of each
calendar
year beginning in 2008, a report regarding such Attesting Party’s assessment of
compliance (an “Assessment of Compliance”) with the Servicing Criteria during
the preceding calendar year. The Assessment of Compliance, as set
forth in Regulation AB, must contain the following:
(a) A
statement by an authorized officer of such Attesting Party of its authority
and
responsibility for assessing compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable
to the related Attesting Party;
(b) A
statement by an authorized officer that such Attesting Party used the Servicing
Criteria attached as Exhibit L hereto, and which will also be attached to
the
Assessment of Compliance, to assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria
applicable to the related Attesting Party;
(c) An
assessment by such officer of the related Attesting Party’s compliance with the
applicable Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding
calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance
with respect thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based
on the
activities such Attesting Party performs with respect to asset-backed securities
transactions taken as a whole involving the related Attesting Party, that
are
backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans;
(d) A
statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation
report on the related Attesting Party’s Assessment of Compliance for the period
consisting of the preceding calendar year; and
(e) A
statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable
to
the related Attesting Party, which statement shall be based on the activities
such Attesting Party performs with respect to asset-backed securities
transactions taken as a whole involving such Attesting Party, that are backed
by
the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans.
Such
report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified
on
Exhibit L hereto which are indicated as applicable to the related Attesting
Party.
On
or
before March 15th of each
calendar
year beginning in 2008, each Attesting Party shall furnish to the Master
Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee a report (an “Attestation Report”) by a
registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the
Assessment of Compliance made by the related Attesting Party, as required
by
Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation
AB,
which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for
attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board.
The
Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of each Servicer to deliver
to the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance
and
Attestation Report as and when provided in the related Servicing Agreement.
Each
of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall cause, and the Master Servicer
shall enforce the obligation (as and when provided in the related Servicing
Agreement) of each Servicer to cause, any subservicer and each subcontractor
(to
the extent such subcontractor is determined by the Master Servicer or the
Trustee, as applicable, to be “participating in the servicing function” within
the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB) that is engaged by such Servicer,
the
Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to deliver to the Trustee,
the
Master Servicer and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation
Report as and when provided above. Such Assessment of Compliance, as to any
subservicer or subcontractor, shall at a minimum address the applicable
Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit L hereto which are indicated as
applicable to any “primary servicer” to the extent such subservicer or
subcontractor is performing any servicing function for the party who engages
it
and to the extent such party is not itself addressing the Servicing Criteria
related to such servicing function in its own Assessment of
Compliance. The Master Servicer shall confirm that each of the
Assessments of Compliance delivered to it, taken as a whole, address all
of the
Servicing Criteria and taken individually address the Servicing Criteria
for
each party as set forth in Exhibit L and notify the Depositor of any exceptions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any subcontractor, an Assessment of
Compliance is not required to be delivered unless it is required as part
of a
Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund.
The
Custodian shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor
an
Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report, as and when provided above,
which shall at a minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified
on
Exhibit L hereto which are indicated as applicable to a
“custodian”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Assessment of
Compliance or Attestation Report is not required to be delivered by any
Custodian unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the
Trust
Fund.
Failure
of the Master Servicer to
comply with this Section 3.17 (including with respect to the timeframes required
herein) shall
constitute an Event of Default, and at the written direction of the
Depositor the Trustee shall, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may
have
under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive
relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of
the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in
and to
the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master
Servicer for the same (but subject to the Master Servicer’s rights to payment of
any Master Servicing Compensation and reimbursement of all amounts for which
it
is entitled to be reimbursed prior to the date of
termination). Failure of the Trustee to comply with this Section 3.17
(including with respect to the timeframes required in this Section) which
failure results in a failure to timely file the related Form 10-K, shall
be
deemed a default which may result in the termination of the Trustee pursuant
to
Section 9.08 of this Agreement and the Depositor may, in addition to whatever
rights the Depositor may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or
to
damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice
immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Trustee under
this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof
without
compensating the Trustee for the same (but subject to the Trustee’s right to
reimbursement of all amounts for which it is entitled to be reimbursed prior
to
the date of termination). This paragraph shall supersede any other
provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
In
the event the Master Servicer, the Custodian, the Trustee or any
subservicer or subcontractor engaged by any such party is terminated, assigns
its rights and obligations under, or resigns pursuant to, the terms of the
Agreement, the related Custodial Agreement, or any other applicable agreement
in
the case of a subservicer or subcontractor, as the case may be, such party
shall
provide an Assessment of Compliance and cause to be provided an Attestation
Report pursuant to this Section 3.17 or to the related section of such other
applicable agreement, as the case may be, notwithstanding any such termination,
assignment or resignation.

Form 10-K hereunder, the Trustee shall sign a Back-Up Certification
substantially in the form of Exhibit Q; provided, however, that the Trustee
shall not be required to undertake an analysis of any accountant’s report
attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K. In the event the
Trustee is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
or any
subcontractor or subservicer is terminated pursuant to the related servicing
agreement, the Trustee, subcontractor or subservicer, as applicable, shall
provide a Back-Up Certification to the Certifying Person pursuant to this
Section 3.18(b) with respect to the period of time it was subject to this
Agreement or the related servicing agreement, as applicable.
(iv)
With
respect to any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K Disclosure
or any Form 8-K Disclosure Information (collectively, the “Additional
Disclosure”) relating to the Trust Fund, the Trustee’s obligation to include
such Additional Information in the applicable Exchange Act report is subject
to
receipt from the entity that is indicated in Exhibit M as the responsible
party
for providing that information, if other than the Trustee, as and when required
as described in Section 3.18(a)(i) through (iii) above. Such
Additional Disclosure shall be accompanied by a notice substantially in the
form
of Exhibit N. Each of the Master Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee,
the Custodian and the Depositor hereby agrees to notify and provide, and
the
Master Servicer agrees to enforce the obligations (to the extent provided
in the
related Servicing Agreement) of each Servicer to notify and provide, to the
extent known to the Trustee and the Depositor all Additional Disclosure relating
to the Trust Fund, with respect to which such party is indicated in Exhibit
M as
the responsible party for providing that information. The Depositor
shall be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred
by the Trustee in connection with including any Additional Disclosure
information pursuant to this Section.
(v)
(A) On or prior to January 30th of the first year in which the Trustee is
able
to do so under applicable law, the Trustee shall prepare and file a Form

(B)
In
the event that the Trustee is unable to timely file with the Commission all
or
any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required to be filed by
this
Agreement because required disclosure information was either not delivered
to it
or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement
or
for any other reason, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Depositor and
the
Master Servicer. In the case of Form 10-D and Form 10-K, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall cooperate to prepare
and
file a Form 12b-25 and a 10-DA and 10-KA 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
Form 10-D. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, 10-D or
10-K needs to be amended, and such amendment relates to any Additional
Disclosure, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor and the parties affected
thereby and such parties will cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 8-K,
10-DA
or 10-KA. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D
or 10-K shall be signed by an appropriate officer of the Master
Servicer. The parties hereto acknowledge that the performance by the
Master Servicer and the Trustee of their respective duties under this Section
3.18(a)(v) related to the timely preparation, 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
Master Servicer and the Depositor timely performing their duties under this
Section. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any
liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect
to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file any such Form
15,
Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure
results from a party’s failure to deliver on a timely basis, any information
from such party needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form
15,
Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from
its
own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
The
Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Trustee, from time to time upon
request, such further information, reports and financial statements within
its
control related to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee reasonably
deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission.
The Trustee shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those
specified in this Section 3.18; provided, however, the Trustee shall cooperate
with the Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect
to the
Trust Fund as the Depositor deems necessary under the Exchange Act. Copies
of
all reports filed by the Trustee under the Exchange Act shall be available
on
the Trustee’s website initially located at xxx.xxxxxx.xxx/xxx. Fees
and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with this Section 3.18
shall
not be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.

damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees
and
related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based

“Trustee Information”), or (ii) any omission or
alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made,
not
misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that this paragraph shall
be

to
whether the Trustee Information or any portion thereof is presented together
with or separately from such other information.
The
Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the Master Servicer
and each of its officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses,

fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other reasonable costs and expenses arising out of or based upon (i)
any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained
in
any Additional Disclosure provided by the Depositor that is required to be
filed
pursuant to this Section 3.18 (the
“Depositor Information”), or (ii)
any omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were
made,
not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that this paragraph shall
be
construed solely by reference to the Depositor Information that is required
to
be filed and not to any other information communicated in connection with
the
Certificates, without regard to whether the Depositor Information or any
portion
thereof is presented together with or separately from such other
information.
The
Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the Depositor
and each of its respective officers, directors and affiliates from and against
any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other reasonable costs and expenses

or
3.18 (the “Master Servicer

communicated in connection with the Certificates, without regard to whether
the
Master Servicer Information or any portion thereof is presented together
with or
separately from such other information.
If
the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless the Depositor, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable,
then
the defaulting party, in connection with any conduct for which it is providing
indemnification under this Section 3.18(c), agrees that it shall contribute
to
the amount paid or payable by the other parties as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities of the other party in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault and the relative benefit of the
respective parties.
The
indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 3.18(c) shall survive
the
termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to this
Agreement.
(c) Failure
of the Master Servicer to comply with this Section 3.18 (including with respect
to the timeframes required herein) shall, constitute an Event of Default,
and at
the written direction of the Depositor the Trustee shall, in addition to
whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity
or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon
notice
immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof
without compensating the Master Servicer for the same (but subject to the
Master
Servicer’s rights to payment of any Master Servicing Compensation and
reimbursement of all amounts for which it is entitled to be reimbursed prior
to
the date of termination). Failure of the Trustee to comply with this
Section 3.18 (including with respect to the timeframes required in this Section)
which failure results in a failure to timely file the related Form 10-K,
shall
be deemed a default which may result in the termination of the Trustee pursuant
to Section 9.08 of this Agreement and the Depositor may, in addition to whatever
rights the Depositor may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or
to
damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice
immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Trustee under
this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof
without
compensating the Trustee for the same (but subject to the Trustee’s right to
reimbursement of all amounts for which it is entitled to be reimbursed prior
to
the date of termination). This paragraph shall supersede any other
provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary. In
connection with the termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section
3.18(d), the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of all costs and
expenses associated with such termination to the extent set forth in Section
9.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no
Event of Default by the Master Servicer or default by the Trustee shall have
occurred with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or
timely
file any report on Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, any Form 15 or Form
12b-25
or any amendments to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from
any
party’s failure to deliver on a timely basis, any information from such party
needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file any such report, Form or
amendment, and does not result from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.
(d) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 11.02, this Section 3.18 may be amended without
the
consent of the Certificateholders.
(e) Any
report, notice or notification to be delivered by the Master Servicer or
the
Trustee to the Depositor pursuant to this Section 3.18, may be delivered
via
email to XxxXXXxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx or, in the case of a notification,
telephonically by calling Reg AB Compliance Manager at (000)

Section
3.21 Optional
Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan which as of the first day of a Fiscal Quarter
is
delinquent in payment by 90 days or more or is an REO Property, the Seller
has
the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the
Trust
at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided however (i) that such Mortgage
Loan is still 90 days or more delinquent or is an REO Property as of the
date of
such purchase and (ii) this purchase option, if not theretofore exercised,
shall
terminate on the date prior to the last day of the related Fiscal Quarter.
This
purchase option, if not exercised, shall not be thereafter reinstated unless
the
delinquency is cured and the Mortgage Loan thereafter again becomes 90 days
or
more delinquent or becomes an REO Property, in which case the option shall
again
become exercisable as of the first day of the related Fiscal
Quarter.
EMC
shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase any Mortgage Loan from
the
Issuing Entity for which (i) the initial Scheduled Payment due to the Seller
or
(ii) the initial Scheduled Payment due to the Trust becomes thirty days
Delinquent; provided, however, such optional purchase shall be exercised
no
later than 270th day after
such
Mortgage Loan is subject to such optional purchase. Such purchase shall be
made
at a price equal to 100% of the Stated Principal Balance thereof plus accrued
interest thereon at the applicable mortgage rate, from the date through which
interest was last paid by the related mortgagor or advanced to the first
day of
the month in which such amount is to be distributed.
These
optional purchase rights may be assigned by the Seller to a third party,
including a holder of a Class of Certificates.
(b) If
at any time the Seller remits to the Master Servicer a payment for deposit
in
the Master
Servicer Collection Account covering the amount of the Purchase Price for
such a Mortgage Loan, and the Seller provides to the Trustee a certification
signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the amount of such payment has
been
deposited in the Master
Servicer
Collection Account, then the Trustee shall execute the assignment of such
Mortgage Loan prepared and delivered to the Trustee, at the request of the
Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty, to the Seller which
shall
succeed to all of the Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to such
Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents relative thereto. Such
assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The
Seller will thereupon own such Mortgage, and all such security and documents,
free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with
respect thereto.

with such depository institutions as may be selected by the Trustee, provided
that time deposits of such depository institutions would be a Permitted
Investment. All Permitted Investments shall mature or be subject to redemption
or withdrawal on or before, and shall be held until, the next succeeding
Distribution Date if the obligor for such Permitted Investment is the Trustee
or, if such obligor is any other Person, the Business Day preceding such
Distribution Date. All investment earnings on amounts on deposit in the
Distribution Account or benefit from funds uninvested therein from time to
time
shall be for the account of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be permitted to
withdraw or receive distribution of any and all investment earnings from
the

Permitted Investment or demand deposit, the Trustee shall deposit the amount
of
the loss from its own funds in the Distribution Account not later than the
applicable Distribution Date on which the moneys so invested are required
to be
distributed to the Certificateholders. With respect to the Distribution
Account and the funds deposited therein, the Master Servicer shall take such
action as may be necessary to ensure that the related Certificateholders
shall
be entitled to the priorities afforded to such a trust account (in addition
to a
claim against the estate of the Trustee) as provided by 12 U.S.C. § 92a(e), and
applicable regulations pursuant thereto, if applicable, or any applicable
comparable state statute applicable to state chartered banking
corporations.

(vi) to
pay the Master Servicer as set forth in Section 3.14;
(vii) to

retained by the Master Servicer without being deposited in the Distribution
Account under Section 4.04(c).
(c) On
each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the Available Funds
to the
extent on deposit in the Distribution Account to the Holders of the Certificates
in accordance with Section 6.01.
ARTICLE
V
Certificates
Section
5.01 Certificates.
(a) The
Depository and the Depositor signing on behalf of the Issuing Entity have
entered into a Depository Agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the
“Depository Agreement”). The Non-Offered Certificates (which are also Physical
Certificates) and the Individual Certificates and as provided in Subsection
5.01(b), the Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name
of
the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of such
Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to a successor
to the
Depository; (ii) ownership and transfers of registration of such Certificates
on
the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established
by
the Depository; (iii) the Depository may collect its usual and customary
fees,
charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (iv) the Trustee shall
deal with the Depository as representative of such Certificate Owners of
the
respective Class of Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of
the
related Certificateholders under this Agreement, and requests and directions
for
and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if
they
are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (v) the Trustee
may
rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by
the
Depository with respect to its Depository Participants.
The
Residual Certificates and the Non-Offered Subordinate Certificates are initially
Physical Certificates. If at any time the Holders of all of the Certificates
of
one or more such Classes request that the Trustee cause such Class to become
Global Certificates, the Trustee and the Depositor will take such action
as may
be reasonably required to cause the Depository to accept such Class or Classes
for trading if it may legally be so traded.
All
transfers by Certificate Owners of such respective Classes of Book-Entry
Certificates and any Global Certificates shall be made in accordance with
the
procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm
representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository Participant shall only
transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of
brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s
normal procedures.
(b) If
(i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is
no
longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository
and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor within 30
days
or (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustee in writing that it
elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository, the Trustee
shall request that the Depository notify all Certificate Owners of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully
registered Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender to the Trustee of the Certificates by the Depository, accompanied
by
registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee
shall issue the definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee
shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions.
(c) (i) REMIC
I will be evidenced by (x) the REMIC I Regular Interests, which will be
uncertificated and non-transferable and are hereby designated as the “regular

(d) For
purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury regulations, the
Distribution Date immediately following the maturity date for the related
Mortgage Loan with the latest maturity date in the Trust Fund has been
designated as the “latest possible maturity date” for the related REMIC I
Regular Interests, REMIC II Regular Interests, REMIC III Regular Interests
and
Regular Certificates.
(e) With
respect to each Distribution Date, each Class of Certificates shall accrue
interest during the related Interest Accrual Period. With respect to each
Distribution Date and each such Class of Certificates, interest shall be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months,
based upon the respective Pass-Through Rate set forth, or determined as
provided, above and the Current Principal Amount (or Notional Amount in the
case
of the Interest Only Certificates) of such Class applicable to such Distribution
Date.
(f) The
Certificates shall be substantially in the forms set forth in Exhibits X-0,
X-0,
X-0, X-0 or A-5, as applicable. On original issuance, the Trustee shall sign,
countersign and shall deliver them at the direction of the Depositor. Pending
the preparation of Definitive Certificates of any Class, the Trustee may
sign
and countersign temporary Certificates that are printed, lithographed or
typewritten, in authorized denominations for Certificates of such Class,
substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Certificates in lieu of which
they
are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions
and
other variations as the officers or authorized signatories executing such
Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Certificates. If temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause
Definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After
the
preparation of Definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall
be
exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary
Certificates at the office of the Trustee, without charge to the Holder.
Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the
Trustee shall sign and countersign and deliver in exchange therefor a like
aggregate principal amount, in authorized denominations for such Class, of
Definitive Certificates of the same Class. Until so exchanged, such temporary
Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits as
Definitive Certificates.
(g) Each
Class of Book-Entry Certificates will be registered as a single Certificate
of
such Class held by a nominee of the Depository or the DTC Custodian, and
beneficial interests will be held by investors through the book-entry facilities
of the Depository in minimum denominations of (i) in the case of the Senior
Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates), $100,000 and in each
case
increments of $1.00 in excess thereof, and (ii) in the case of the Subordinate
Certificates, $100,000 and increments of $1.00 in excess thereof, except
that
one Certificate of each such Class may be issued in a different amount so
that
the sum of the denominations of all outstanding Certificates of such Class
shall
equal the Current Principal Amount of such Class on the Closing Date. On
the
Closing Date, the Trustee shall execute and countersign Physical Certificates
all in an aggregate principal amount that shall equal the Current Principal
Amount of such Class on the Closing Date. The Non-Offered Certificates shall
be
issued in certificated fully-registered form in minimum dollar denominations
of
$100,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof, except that one
of
each of the Non-Offered Certificates of each Class may be issued in a different
amount so that the sum of the denominations of all outstanding related
Non-Offered Certificates of such Class shall equal the Current Principal
Amount
of such Class on the Closing Date. Each of the Class R Certificates shall
be
issued in certificated fully-registered form, in the denomination of $50.
Each
Class of Global Certificates, if any, shall be issued in fully registered
form
in minimum dollar denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1.00
in
excess thereof, except that one Certificate of each Class may be in a different
denomination so that the sum of the denominations of all outstanding
Certificates of such Class shall equal the Current Principal Amount of such
Class on the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall execute and
countersign (i) in the case of each Class of the Offered Certificates, the
Certificate in the entire Current Principal Amount of the respective Class
and
(ii) in the case of each Class of the Non-Offered Certificates, Individual
Certificates all in an aggregate principal amount that shall equal the Current
Principal Amount of each such respective Class on the Closing Date. The
Certificates referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) and if at any time there
are to
be Global Certificates, the Global Certificates shall be delivered by the
Depositor to the Depository or pursuant to the Depository’s instructions, shall
be delivered by the Depositor on behalf of the Depository to and deposited
with
the DTC Custodian. The Trustee shall sign the Certificates by facsimile or
manual signature and countersign them by manual signature on behalf of the
Trustee by one or more authorized signatories, each of whom shall be Responsible
Officers of the Trustee or its agent. A Certificate bearing the manual and
facsimile signatures of individuals who were the authorized signatories of
the
Trustee or its agent at the time of issuance shall bind the Trustee,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold
such
positions prior to the delivery of such Certificate.
(h) No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be
valid
for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate the manually executed
countersignature of the Trustee or its agent, and such countersignature upon
any
Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates
issued on the Closing Date shall be dated the Closing Date. All Certificates
issued thereafter shall be dated the date of their
countersignature.
(i) The
Closing Date is hereby designated as the “startup” day of each of REMIC I, REMIC
II and REMIC III within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the
Code.
(j) For
federal income tax purposes, each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III shall
have
a tax year that is a calendar year and shall report income on an accrual
basis.
(k) For
federal income tax purposes, the Trustee shall treat the Trust as consisting
of the ES Trust and each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III,
organized in a tiered structure, beneath the ES Trust, all as further described
herein, and on behalf of
the Trust Fund, shall cause each such REMIC to timely elect to be treated
as a
REMIC under Section 860D of the Code. Any inconsistencies or ambiguities
in this
Agreement or in the administration of any trust established hereby shall
be
resolved in a manner that preserves the validity of such elections and intended
tax treatment.
(l) The
following legend shall be placed on the Residual Certificates, whether upon
original issuance or upon issuance of any other Certificate of any such Class
in
exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof:
THIS
CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE ACQUIRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY, OR ON BEHALF OF,

4975 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED, UNLESS THE TRANSFEREE
CERTIFIES OR REPRESENTS THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER AND HOLDING OF A CERTIFICATE
AND THE SERVICING, MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION OF THE TRUST AND ITS ASSETS:
(I)
WILL NOT RESULT IN ANY PROHIBITED TRANSACTION WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER

Section
5.02 Registration
of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The
Trustee shall maintain at its Corporate Trust Office a separate Certificate
Register for Certificates in which, subject to such reasonable regulations
as it
may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of the related
Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of the related Certificates as
herein provided.
(b) Subject
to Subsection 5.01(a) and, in the case of any Global Certificate or Physical

countersign and shall deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, a new Certificate of a like Class and aggregate Fractional
Undivided Interest, but bearing a different number.
(c) By
acceptance of an Individual Certificate, whether upon original issuance or
subsequent transfer, each holder of such a Certificate acknowledges the
restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth in the Securities
Legend and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided
herein. In addition to the provisions of Subsection 5.02(h), the following
restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration of
transfer of an Individual Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery
in the
form of an Individual Certificate:
(i) The
Trustee shall register the transfer of an Individual Certificate if the
requested transfer is being made to a transferee who has provided the Trustee
with a Rule 144A Certificate or comparable evidence as to its QIB
status.
(ii) The
Trustee shall register the transfer of any Individual Certificate if (x)
the
transferor has advised the Trustee in writing that the Certificate is being
transferred to an Institutional Accredited Investor; and (y) prior to the
transfer the transferee furnishes to the Trustee an Investment Letter (and
the
Trustee shall be fully protected in so doing), provided that, if based upon
an
Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that the delivery
of
(x) and (y) above are not sufficient to confirm that the proposed transfer
is
being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject
to,
the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable
laws,
the Trustee shall as a condition of the registration of any such transfer
require the transferor to furnish such other certifications, legal opinions
or
other information prior to registering the transfer of an Individual Certificate
as shall be set forth in such Opinion of Counsel.
(d) Subject
to Subsection 5.02(h), so long as a Global Certificate of such Class is
outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository, transfers of
beneficial interests in such Global Certificate, or transfers by holders
of
Individual Certificates of such Class to transferees that take delivery in
the
form of beneficial interests in the Global Certificate, may be made only
in
accordance with this Subsection 5.02(d) and in accordance with the rules
of the
Depository:

of
Subsection 5.02(c)(ii).
(ii) In
the case of a beneficial interest in a Class of Global Certificates being
transferred to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of an Individual
Certificate or Certificates of such Class, except as set forth in clause

above, the Trustee shall register such transfer only upon compliance with
the
provisions of Subsection 5.02(c)(i).
(iii) In
the case of an Individual Certificate of a Class being transferred to a
transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a
Global
Certificate of such Class, the Trustee shall register such transfer if the
transferee has provided the Trustee with a Rule 144A Certificate or comparable
evidence as to its QIB status.
(iv) No
restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer or registration of
transfer of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of a Class to
a
transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the
Global Certificate of such Class; provided that each such transferee shall
be
deemed to have made such representations and warranties contained in the
Rule
144A Certificate as are sufficient to establish that it is a QIB.
(e) Subject
to Subsection 5.02(h), an exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global
Certificate of a Class for an Individual Certificate or Certificates of such
Class, an exchange of an Individual Certificate or Certificates of a Class
for a
beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class and an exchange
of
an Individual Certificate or Certificates of a Class for another Individual
Certificate or Certificates of such Class (in each case, whether or not such
exchange is made in anticipation of subsequent transfer, and, in the case
of the
Global Certificate of such Class, so long as such Certificate is outstanding
and
is held by or on behalf of the Depository) may be made only in accordance
with
this Subsection 5.02(e) and in accordance with the rules of the
Depository:
(i) A
holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of a Class may at
any
time exchange such beneficial interest for an Individual Certificate or
Certificates of such Class.
(ii) A
holder of an Individual Certificate or Certificates of a Class may exchange
such
Certificate or Certificates for a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate
of such Class if such holder furnishes to the Trustee a Rule 144A Certificate
or
comparable evidence as to its QIB status.
(iii) A
holder of an Individual Certificate of a Class may exchange such Certificate
for
an equal aggregate principal amount of Individual Certificates of such Class
in
different authorized denominations without any certification.
(f) (i) Upon
acceptance for exchange or transfer of an Individual Certificate of a Class
for
a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate of such Class as provided herein,
the Trustee shall cancel such Individual Certificate and shall (or shall
request
the Depository to) endorse on the schedule affixed to the applicable Global
Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to the Global
Certificate and made a part thereof) or otherwise make in its books and records
an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer
and an
increase in the certificate balance of the Global Certificate equal to the
certificate balance of such Individual Certificate exchanged or transferred
therefor.
(ii) Upon
acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global
Certificate of a Class for an Individual Certificate of such Class as provided

schedule affixed to such Global Certificate and made a part thereof) or
otherwise make in its books and records an appropriate notation evidencing
the
date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the certificate balance
of
such Global Certificate equal to the certificate balance of such Individual
Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof.
(g) The
Securities Legend shall be placed on any Individual Certificate issued in
exchange for or upon transfer of another Individual Certificate or of a
beneficial interest in a Global Certificate.
(h) Subject
to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth in this Section 5.02,
the
holder of any Individual Certificate may transfer or exchange the same in
whole
or in part (in an initial certificate balance equal to the minimum authorized
denomination set forth in Section 5.01(g) above or any integral multiple
of
$1.00 in excess thereof) by surrendering such Certificate at the Corporate
Trust
Office, or at the office of any transfer agent, together with an executed
instrument of assignment and transfer satisfactory in form and substance
to the
Trustee in the case of transfer and a written request for exchange in the
case
of exchange. The holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate
may,
subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, cause the Depository
(or
its nominee) to notify the Trustee in writing of a request for transfer or
exchange of such beneficial interest for an Individual Certificate or
Certificates. Following a proper request for transfer or exchange, the Trustee
shall, within five Business Days of such request made at the Corporate Trust
Office, sign, countersign and deliver at the Corporate Trust Office, to the
transferee (in the case of transfer) or holder (in the case of exchange)
or send
by first class mail at the risk of the transferee (in the case of transfer)
or
holder (in the case of exchange) to such address as the transferee or holder,
as
applicable, may request, an Individual Certificate or Certificates, as the
case
may require, for a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest and in such
authorized denomination or denominations as may be requested. The presentation
for transfer or exchange of any Individual Certificate shall not be valid
unless
made at the Corporate Trust Office by the registered holder in person, or
by a
duly authorized attorney-in-fact.
(i) At
the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other
Certificates of authorized denominations of a like Class and aggregate
Fractional Undivided Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office; provided, however, that no Certificate
may be exchanged for new Certificates unless the original Fractional Undivided
Interest represented by each such new Certificate (i) is at least equal to
the
minimum authorized denomination or (ii) is acceptable to the Depositor as
indicated to the Trustee in writing. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall sign and countersign and the
Trustee
shall deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange
is entitled to receive.
(j) If
the Trustee so requires, every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer
or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument
of transfer, with a signature guarantee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee,
duly executed by the holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized
in
writing.
(k) No
service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, 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 Certificates.
(l) The
Trustee shall cancel all Certificates surrendered for transfer or exchange
but
shall retain such Certificates in accordance with its standard retention
policy
or for such further time as is required by the record retention requirements
of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and thereafter may destroy
such
Certificates.
Section
5.03 Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
(a) If
(i) 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 (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or
indemnity as it may require to save it harmless, and (iii) the Trustee has
not
received notice that such Certificate has been acquired by a third Person,
the
Trustee shall sign, countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of
any
such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate
of like
tenor and Fractional Undivided Interest but in each case bearing a different
number. The mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall thereupon
be
canceled of record by the Trustee and shall be of no further effect and evidence
no rights.
(b) Upon
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) connected therewith. Any duplicate
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete
and
indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued,
whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at
any
time.
Section
5.04 Persons
Deemed Owners.
Prior
to
due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor,
the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor 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 pursuant to Section 6.01 and for all
other purposes whatsoever. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee or any agent
of
the Depositor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
No
Certificate shall be deemed duly presented for a transfer effective on any
Record Date unless the Certificate to be transferred is presented no later
than
the close of business on the third Business Day preceding such Record
Date.
Section
5.05 Transfer
Restrictions on Residual Certificates.
(a) No
transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate (including
a
beneficial interest therein) may be made unless, prior to the transfer, sale
or
other disposition of a Residual Certificate, (1) the proposed transferee
(including the initial purchasers thereof) delivers to the Trustee and the
Depositor an affidavit and agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
E
stating, among other things, that as of the date of such transfer such
transferee is a Permitted Transferee and a United States Person and that
such
transferee is not acquiring such Residual Certificate for the account of
any
Person who is not a Permitted Transferee or a United States Person (a
“Transferee Affidavit”), and (2) the proposed transferor delivers to the Trustee
and the Depositor an affidavit in the form attached hereto as Exhibit R to
the
effect that it has no knowledge that the statements made by the proposed
transferee in any such Transferee Affidavit are false (a “Transferor
Affidavit”). The Tax Matters Person shall not consent to a transfer of a
Residual Certificate if it has actual knowledge that any statement made in
the
Transferee Affidavit or Transferor Affidavit issued pursuant to the preceding
sentence is not true. Notwithstanding any transfer, sale or other disposition
of
a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, such
transfer, sale or other disposition shall be deemed to be of no legal force
or
effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be a Holder of a
Residual Certificate for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited
to,
the receipt of distributions thereon. If any purported transfer shall be
in
violation of the provisions of this Subsection 5.05(a), then the prior Holder
thereof shall, upon discovery that the transfer of such Residual Certificate
was
not in fact permitted by this Subsection 5.05(a), be restored to all rights
as a
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of the purported transfer. None of
the
Trustee or the Depositor shall be under any liability to any Person for any
registration or transfer of a Residual Certificate that is not permitted
by this
Subsection 5.05(a) or for making payments due on such Residual Certificate
to
the purported Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such
purported Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the related
Transferee Affidavit and Transferor Affidavit referred to above were received
with respect to such transfer, and the Trustee and the Depositor, as applicable,
had no knowledge that they were untrue. The prior Holder shall be entitled
to
recover from any purported Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact
not
a permitted transferee under this Subsection 5.05(a) at the time it became
a
Holder all payments made on such Residual Certificate. Each Holder of a Residual
Certificate, by acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have
consented to the provisions of this Section 5.05 and to any amendment of
this
Agreement deemed necessary (whether as a result of new legislation or otherwise)
by counsel of the Tax Matters Person, the Trustee or the Depositor to ensure
that the Residual Certificates are not transferred to any Person who is not
a
Permitted Transferee or a United States Person and that any transfer of such
Residual Certificates will not cause the imposition of a tax upon the Trust
or
cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
(c) The
Residual Certificates (including a beneficial interest therein) may not be
purchased by or transferred to any Person who is not a United States
Person.
(d) By
accepting a Residual Certificate, the purchaser thereof agrees to be a Tax
Matters Person, and appoints the Trustee to act as its agent with respect
to all
matters concerning the tax obligations of the Trust.
Section
5.06 Restrictions
on Transferability of Non-Offered Certificates.
(a) No
offer, sale, transfer or other disposition (including pledge) of any Non-Offered
Certificate shall be made by any Holder thereof unless registered under the
Securities Act, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws is
available and the prospective transferee (other than the Depositor) of such
Certificate signs and delivers to the Trustee an Investment Letter, if the
transferee is an Institutional Accredited Investor, in the form set forth
as
Exhibit F-l hereto, or a Rule 144A Certificate, if the transferee is a QIB,
in
the form set forth as Exhibit F-2 hereto. Notwithstanding the provisions
of the
immediately preceding sentence, no restrictions shall apply with respect
to the
transfer or registration of transfer of a beneficial interest in any Non-Offered
Certificate that is a Global Certificate of a Class to a transferee that
takes
delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of
such
Class provided that each such transferee shall be deemed to have made such
representations and warranties contained in the Rule 144A Certificate as
are
sufficient to establish that it is a QIB. In the case of a proposed transfer
of
any Certificate to a transferee other than a QIB, the Trustee may require
an
Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee that such transaction is exempt
from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The cost of such opinion
shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund.
(b) The
Non-Offered Certificates shall each bear a Securities Legend.
Section
5.07 ERISA
Restrictions.
(a) Subject
to the provisions of subsection (b), no Residual Certificates or Non-Offered
Subordinate Certificates may be acquired directly or indirectly by, or on
behalf
of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject
to
Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the proposed transferee
provides either (i) the Trustee, with an Opinion of Counsel addressed to
the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer (upon which they may rely)
which
is satisfactory to the Trustee, which opinion will not be at the expense
of the
Depositor, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, that the purchase of such
Certificates by or on behalf of such Plan is permissible under applicable
law,
will not constitute or result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under
ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken
in the
Agreement or (ii) in the case of the Non-Offered Subordinate Certificates,
a
representation or certification to the Trustee (upon which the Trustee and
the
other parties hereto are authorized to rely) to the effect that the proposed
transfer and holding of such a Certificate and the servicing, management
and
operation of the Trust: (I) will not result in a prohibited transaction under
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code which is not covered under
an
individual or class prohibited transaction exemption including but not limited
to Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 84-14 (Class
Exemption for Plan Asset Transactions Determined by Independent Qualified
Professional Asset Managers); PTE 91-38 (Class Exemption for Certain
Transactions Involving Bank Collective Investment Funds); PTE 90-1 (Class
Exemption for Certain Transactions Involving Insurance Company Pooled Separate
Accounts), PTE 95-60 (Class Exemption for Certain Transactions Involving
Insurance Company General Accounts), and PTCE 96-23 (Class Exemption for
Plan
Asset Transactions Determined by In-House Asset Managers and (II) will not
subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee to any obligation
in
addition to those undertaken in the Agreement.
(b) Any
Person acquiring an interest in a Global Certificate which is a Non-Offered
Subordinate Certificate, by acquisition of such Certificate, shall be deemed
to
have represented to the Trustee that in the case of the Non-Offered Subordinate
Certificates, either: (i) it is not acquiring an interest in such Certificate
directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other
retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975
of
the Code, or (ii) the transfer and holding of an interest in such Certificate
to
that Person and the subsequent servicing, management and operation of the
Trust
and its assets: (I) will not result in any prohibited transaction which is
not
covered under an individual or class prohibited transaction exemption,
including, but not limited to, XXX 00-00, XXX 00-00, XXX 00-0, XXX 95-60
or PTE
96-23 and (II) will not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the
Trustee to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the
Agreement.
(c) Each
beneficial owner of a Class B-1, Class B-2 or Class B-3 Certificate or any
interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its
acquisition or holding of that certificate or interest therein, that either
(i)
it is not a Plan or investing with “Plan Assets”, (ii) it has acquired and is
holding such certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption
90-30,
as amended from time to time (the “Exemption”), and that it understands that
there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption, including
that the certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than
“BBB-” (or its equivalent) by S&P, Fitch, Dominion Bond Rating Service
Limited (known as DBRS Limited), Dominion Bond Rating Service, Inc. (known
as
DBRS, Inc.) or Moody’s, and the certificate is so rated or (iii) (1) it is an
insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the
certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as
such term is defined in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60,
and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been
satisfied.
(d) Neither
the Trustee nor the Master Servicer will be required to monitor, determine
or
inquire as to compliance with the transfer restrictions in this Agreement
with
respect to the Book-Entry Certificates. Any attempted or purported transfer
of
any Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Agreement shall be
void
ab initio and such Certificate shall be considered to have been held
continuously by the prior permitted Certificateholder. Any transferor of
any
Certificate in violation of such provisions, shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Trustee and the Master Servicer from and against any and all liabilities,
claims, costs or expenses incurred by the Trustee or the Master Servicer
as a
result of such attempted or purported transfer. The Trustee shall not be
liable
for transfer of any such Book-Entry Certificates in or through book-entry
facilities of any Depository or between or among Depository Participants
or
Certificate Owners made in violation of the transfer restrictions set forth
herein.
Section
5.08 Rule
144A Information.
For
so
long as any Non-Offered Certificates are outstanding and are “restricted
securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act, (1) the
Depositor will provide or cause to be provided to any holder of such Non-Offered
Certificates and any prospective purchaser thereof designated by such a holder,
upon the request of such holder or prospective purchaser, the information
required to be provided to such holder or prospective purchaser by Rule
144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act; and (2) the Depositor shall update such
information from time to time in order to prevent such information from becoming
false and misleading and will take such other actions as are necessary to
ensure
that the safe harbor exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act under Rule 144A is and will be available for resales of such
Certificates conducted in accordance with Rule 144A.
Section
5.09 Exchangeable
and Exchanged Certificates.
(a) As
of the Closing Date, the ES Trust shall be established and maintained in
the
name of the Trustee, as a separate trust within the Trust, which shall issue
the
Certificates (other than the Class I-R-1 Certificates and the Class II-R
Certificates) and the corpus of which shall be held by the Trustee for the
benefit of the Holders of such Certificates. The corpus of the ES Trust shall
consist of the REMIC III Regular Interests and the Class I-R-2 Interest and
all
proceeds thereof. It is intended, for federal income tax purposes,
that the ES Trust will qualify as a grantor trust under Subpart E, part I
of
subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code, of which the Holders of the Certificates
(other than the Class I-R-1 Certificates and the Class II-R Certificates)
are
owners, rather than a partnership, an association taxable as a corporation
or a
taxable mortgage pool, and that, to the fullest extent possible, beneficial
ownership of a Certificate (other than the Class I-R-1 Certificates and the
Class II-R Certificates) will be treated as direct beneficial ownership of
each
individual, uncertificated REMIC III Regular Interest or Class I-R-2 Interest
held by the ES Trust for which such Certificate is designated as the
Corresponding Certificate in Section 5.01(c)(iii). The powers granted
and obligations undertaken in this Agreement shall be construed so as to
further
such intent. The parties hereto, by entering into this Agreement, and
each Holder of the Certificates, by acceptance of beneficial ownership of
its
Certificate, agree to treat, for federal income tax purposes, the ES Trust
as a
grantor trust under Subpart E, part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the
Code
and, to the fullest extent possible, the beneficial ownership of a Certificate
(other than the Class I-R-1 Certificates and the Class II-R Certificates)
as
direct beneficial ownership of each individual, uncertificated REMIC III
Regular
Interest or Class I-R-2 Interest held by the ES Trust for which such Certificate
is designated as the Corresponding Certificate in Section 5.01(c)(iii). It
is further intended, and the parties hereto agree, that, with respect to
the
Exchangeable Certificates and Exchanged Certificates for the avoidance of
doubt,
the group of uncertificated REMIC III Regular Interests or the Class I-R-2
Interest the beneficial ownership of which is represented by any Exchanged
Certificates immediately following an exchange shall be same group of
uncertificated REMIC III Regular Interests or the Class I-R-2 Interest the
beneficial ownership of which were represented by the Exchangeable Certificates
relinquished for such Exchanged Certificates, and vice versa, in the case
of an
exchange of Exchanged Certificates for Exchangeable Certificates.
(b) If
an Exchangeable or Exchanged Certificateholder wishes to exchange Certificates,
the Exchangeable or Exchanged Certificateholder must notify the Trustee by
e-mail to xxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx no later than seven Business Days before
the
proposed exchange date. The exchange date can be any Business Day from the
25th
day of the month to the second to the last Business Day of the month subject
to
the Trustee’s approval. The notice must be on the Exchangeable or Exchanged
Certificateholder's letterhead, carry a medallion stamp guarantee and set
forth
the following information: the CUSIP number of both Exchangeable or Exchanged
Certificates to be surrendered and Exchangeable or Exchanged Certificates
to be
received, the aggregate outstanding Current Principal Amount and the aggregate
original Current Principal Amount of the Exchangeable or Exchanged Certificates
to be exchanged, the Exchangeable or Exchanged Certificateholder's DTC
participant number and the proposed exchange date. After receiving the notice,
the Trustee will e-mail the Exchangeable or Exchanged Certificateholder with
wire payment instructions relating to the exchange fee, which shall be equal
to
$5,000 per exchange. The Trustee will notify the Depositor of any such exchange
for the purpose of DTC eligibility and will notify the Rating Agencies of
any
such exchange. The Exchangeable or Exchanged Certificateholder shall utilize
the
Deposit and Withdrawal System at DTC to exchange the Certificates. A notice
becomes irrevocable on the seventh Business Day before the proposed exchange
date.
(c) The
Trustee shall make the first distribution on Exchanged Certificates or
Exchangeable Certificates received in an exchange transaction on the
Distribution Date in the following month to the Exchangeable or Exchanged
Certificateholder of record as of the close of business on the last day of
the
month of the exchange.
(d) If
an Exchangeable or Exchanged Certificateholder elects to exchange its
Exchangeable Certificates for related Exchanged Certificates or vice versa,
the
following three conditions must be satisfied:
i.
|
the
aggregate Current Principal Amount of the Exchanged Certificates
received
in the exchange, immediately after the exchange, must equal the
aggregate
Current Principal Amount, immediately prior to the exchange, of
the
Exchangeable Certificates relinquished therefor, and vice
versa;
|
ii.
|
the
annual interest amount payable with respect to the Exchanged Certificates
received in the exchange must equal the aggregate annual interest
amount
payable with respect to the Exchangeable Certificates relinquished
therefor, and vice versa; and
|
iii.
|
the
Class or Classes of Exchangeable Certificates must be exchanged
for
Exchanged Certificates in a Combination Group in the applicable
proportions, if any, described in the Exhibit C and vice
versa.

(a) Interest
and principal (as applicable) on the Certificates will be distributed by
the
Trustee monthly on each Distribution Date based on the Certificates Distribution
Report for such Distribution Date furnished by the Trustee pursuant to 6.05
hereof, commencing in September 2007, in an amount equal to the related
Available Funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for such Distribution
Date. On each Distribution Date, the related Available Funds on deposit in
the
Distribution Account shall be distributed as follows:
(I) Distributions
on the Group I Certificates:
(i) On
each Distribution Date, the Group I Available Funds will be distributed to
the
Group I Senior Certificates as follows:
first,
to the Group I Senior Certificates (other than the Class I-PO Certificates),
on
a pro rata basis, the Accrued Certificate Interest on such Classes for such
Distribution Date;
second,
to the Group I Senior Certificates (other than the Class I-PO Certificates),
on
a pro rata basis, any Accrued Certificate Interest thereon remaining
undistributed from previous Distribution Dates, to the extent of remaining
Group
I Available Funds;
third,
to the Group I Senior Certificates (other than the Class I-PO Certificates),
as
principal, the Group I Senior Optimal Principal Amount, in the order described
below, in reduction of the Current Principal Amounts thereof, until the Current
Principal Amounts thereof have been reduced to zero;
fourth,
to the Class I-PO Certificates, the Class I-PO Certificate Principal
Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date to the extent of the remaining
Group I Available Funds, until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been
reduced to zero; and
fifth,
to the Class I-PO Certificates, the portion of the Class I-PO Certificate
Deferred Amount, provided that (i) on any Distribution Date, distributions
pursuant to this priority fifth shall not exceed the excess, if any, of
(x) Group I Available Funds remaining after giving effect to distributions
pursuant to priority first through fourth above over (y) the
sum of the amount of Accrued Certificate Interest for such Distribution Date
and
Accrued Certificate Interest remaining undistributed from previous Distribution
Dates on all Classes of Group I Subordinate Certificates then outstanding,
(ii)
such distributions shall not reduce the Current Principal Amount of the Class
I-PO Certificates, and (iii) no distribution will be made in respect of the
Class I-PO Certificate Deferred Amount on or after the Group I Cross-Over
Date.
On
each
Distribution Date, an amount, up to the amount of the Group I Senior Optimal
Principal Amount for that Distribution Date, will be distributed as principal
in
the following order of priority:
A.
|
to
the Class I-R-1 Certificates and the Class I-R-2 Certificates,
pro rata,
in reduction of the Current Principal Amounts thereof, until the
Current
Principal Amounts thereof have been reduced to zero;
and
|
B.
|
to
the Class I-A-1 Certificates, Class I-A-2 Certificates and each
combination of Exchanged Certificates (as further allocated in
clause (iv)
below), concurrently on a pro rata basis, based on the Current
Principal
Amounts thereof, until the Current Principal Amounts thereof have
been
reduced to zero.
|
(ii) On
each Distribution Date on or prior to the Group I Cross-Over Date, an amount
equal to the remaining Group I Available Funds after the distributions in
clause
(i) above shall be distributed sequentially in the following order, to the
Class
I-B-1, Class I-B-2, Class I-B-3, Class I-B-4, Class I-B-5 and Class I-B-6
Certificates, in each case up to an amount equal to and in the following
order:
(a) the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for such Distribution Date,
(b) any
Accrued Certificate Interest thereon remaining undistributed from previous
Distribution Dates and (c) such Class’s Group I Allocable Share for such
Distribution Date, in each case, to the extent of the remaining Group I
Available Funds.
(iii) If,
after distributions have been made pursuant to priorities first and
second of clause (i) above on any Distribution Date, the remaining
Group I Available Funds is less than the Scheduled Principal Balance of the
Group I Mortgage Loans, such amounts shall be reduced, and such remaining
funds
will be distributed to the Group I Senior Certificates (other than the Class
I-X
Certificates) on the basis of such reduced amounts. Notwithstanding any
reduction in principal distributable to the Class I-PO Certificates pursuant
to
this paragraph, the principal balance of the Class I-PO Certificates shall
be
reduced not only by principal so distributed but also by the difference between
(i) principal distributable to the Class I-PO Certificates in accordance
with
priority fourth of clause (i) above, and (ii) principal actually
distributed to the Class I-PO Certificates after giving effect to this paragraph
(such difference for the Class I-PO Certificates, the “Class I-PO Certificate
Cash Shortfall”). The Class I-PO Certificate Cash Shortfall for the Class I-PO
Certificates with respect to any Distribution Date will be added to the Class
I-PO Certificate Deferred Amount.
(iv) In
the event that the Exchangeable Certificates are exchanged for their related
Exchanged Certificates within a Combination Group, such Exchanged Certificates
will be entitled to a proportionate share of the principal distributions
of the
Exchangeable Certificates in such Combination Group as described in Exhibit
C.
Such Exchanged Certificates will also be entitled to the interest accrued
on,
and amounts payable in respect of certain interest shortfalls to, the
Exchangeable Certificates.
On
each
Distribution Date, principal allocable to the Exchanged Certificates pursuant
to
clause (i)(B) above shall be distributed in the following order of
priority:
A.
|
Combination
Group I. To the Class I-A-3 Certificates and Class I-A-4
Certificates, concurrently, on a pro rata basis until the Current
Principal Amounts thereof are reduced to
zero.
|
B.
|
Combination
Group II. To the Class I-A-5, Class I-A-6 and Class I-A-7
Certificates in the following order of
priority:

(a)
|
to
the Class I-A-7 Certificates, the Lockout Priority Amount for such
Distribution Date, until its Current Principal Amount is reduced
to
zero;
|
|
(b)
|
sequentially,
to the Class I-A-5 Certificates and Class I-A-6 Certificates, in
that
order, in each case, until their respective Current Principal Amounts
are
reduced to zero; and
|
|
(c)
|
to
the Class I-A-7 Certificates, without regard to the Lockout Priority
Amount, until its Current Principal Amount is reduced to
zero.
|
(II) Distributions
on the Group II Certificates:
(i) On
each Distribution Date, the Group II Available Funds shall be distributed
to the
Group II Senior Certificates as follows:
first,
to the Group II Senior Certificates (other than the Class II-PO Certificates),
on a pro rata basis, the Accrued Certificate Interest on such Classes for
such
Distribution Date;
second,
to the Group II Senior Certificates (other than the Class II-PO Certificates),
on a pro rata basis, any Accrued Certificate Interest thereon remaining
undistributed from previous Distribution Dates, to the extent of remaining
Group
I Available Funds;
third,
to the Class II-A-1 Certificates and Class II-A-2 Certificates, as principal,
in
the order described in this Agreement, the Group II Senior Optimal Principal
Distribution Amount, in reduction of the Current Principal Amount thereof,
until
the Current Principal Amounts thereof have been reduced to zero;
fourth,
to the Class II-PO Certificates, the Class II-PO Certificate Principal
Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date to the extent of the remaining
Group II Available Funds, until the Current Principal Amount thereof has
been
reduced to zero; and
fifth,
to the Class II-PO Certificates, the portion of the Class II-PO Certificate
Deferred Amount, provided that (i) on any Distribution Date, distributions
pursuant to this priority fifth shall not exceed the excess, if any, of
(x) Group II Available Funds remaining after giving effect to distributions
pursuant to priority first through fourth above over (y) the
sum of the amount of Accrued Certificate Interest for such Distribution Date
and
Accrued Certificate Interest remaining undistributed from previous Distribution
Dates on all Classes of Group II Subordinate Certificates then outstanding,
(ii)
such distributions shall not reduce the Current Principal Amount of the Class
II-PO Certificates, and (iii) no distribution will be made in respect of
the
Class II-PO Certificate Deferred Amount on or after the Group II Cross-Over
Date.
On
each
Distribution Date, an amount up to the amount of the Group II Senior Optimal
Principal Distribution Amount for that Distribution Date shall be distributed
as
principal in the following order of priority:
A.
|
to
the Class II-R Certificates, in reduction of the Current Principal
Amount
thereof, until the Current Principal Amount thereof has been reduced
to
zero; and
|
B.
|
to
the Class II-A-1 Certificates and Class II-A-2 Certificates, concurrently
on a pro rata basis, in reduction of the Current Principal Amounts
thereof, until the Current Principal Amounts thereof have been
reduced to
zero.
|
(ii) On
each Distribution Date on or prior to the Group II Cross-Over Date, an amount
equal to the remaining Group II Available Funds after the distributions in
clause (i) above shall be distributed sequentially in the following order,
to
the Class II-B-1, Class II-B-2, Class II-B-3, Class II-B-4, Class II-B-5
and
Class II-B-6 Certificates, in each case up to an amount equal to and in the
following order: (a) the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for such
Distribution Date, (b) any Accrued Certificate Interest thereon remaining
undistributed from previous Distribution Dates and (c) such Class’s Group II
Allocable Share for such Distribution Date, in each case, to the extent of the
remaining Group II Available Funds.
(iii) If,
after distributions have been made pursuant to priorities first and
second of clause (i) above on any Distribution Date, the remaining
Group II Available Funds is less than the Scheduled Principal Balance of
the
Group II Mortgage Loans, such amounts shall be reduced, and such remaining
funds
will be distributed to the Group II Senior Certificates (other than the Class
II-X Certificates) on the basis of such reduced amounts. Notwithstanding
any
reduction in principal distributable to the Class II-PO Certificates pursuant
to
this paragraph, the principal balance of the Class II-PO Certificates shall
be
reduced not only by principal so distributed but also by the difference between
(i) principal distributable to the Class II-PO Certificates in accordance
with
priority fourth of clause (i) above, and (ii) principal actually
distributed to the Class II-PO Certificates after giving effect to this
paragraph (such difference for the Class II-PO Certificates, the “Class II-PO
Certificate Cash Shortfall”). The Class II-PO Certificate Cash Shortfall for the
Class II-PO Certificates with respect to any Distribution Date will be added
to
the Class II-PO Certificate Deferred Amount.
On
each
Distribution Date, any Available Funds related to a Loan Group remaining
after
payment of interest and principal to the Classes of Certificates entitled
thereto, in each case as described above, will be distributed to the related
Class R Certificates; provided that, if on any Distribution Date there are
any
Group I Available Funds and Group II Available Funds remaining after payment
of
interest and principal to a Class or Classes of Certificates entitled thereto,
such amounts will be distributed to the other Class or Classes of related
Senior
Certificates, pro rata, based upon their Current Principal Amounts, until
all
amounts due to all Classes of Senior Certificates have been paid in full,
before
any amounts are distributed to the related Class R Certificates.
(b) “Pro
rata” distributions among Classes of Certificates will be made in proportion to
the then Current Principal Amount of such Classes.
(c) No
Accrued Certificate Interest will be payable with respect to any Class of
Certificates after the Distribution Date on which the Current Principal Amount
or Notional Amount of such Certificate has been reduced to zero.
(d) If
on any Distribution Date the Available Funds for the related Senior Certificates
is less than the Accrued Certificate Interest on the related Senior Certificates
for such Distribution Date prior to reduction for Net Interest Shortfalls
and
the interest portion of Realized Losses, the shortfall will be allocated
among
the Holders of each Class of the related Senior Certificates (other than
the
Class I-PO Certificates and Class II-PO Certificates) and the related
Subordinate Certificates, on a pro rata basis, in proportion to the respective
amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest for that Distribution Date that would
have been allocated thereto in the absence of such Net Interest Shortfalls
and/or Realized Losses for such Distribution Date. In addition, the amount
of
any interest shortfalls with respect to the related Mortgage Loans will
constitute unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest and will be distributable
to
Holders of the Certificates of the related Classes entitled to such amounts
on
subsequent Distribution Dates, to the extent of the applicable Available
Funds
remaining after current interest distributions as required herein. Any such
amounts so carried forward will not bear interest. Any interest shortfalls
will
not be offset by a reduction in the servicing compensation of the Servicers
or
otherwise, except to the limited extent described in the fourth preceding
paragraph with respect to Prepayment Interest Shortfalls. The interest portion
of Realized Losses will be allocated first to the related Subordinate
Certificates, and after the related Cross-Over Date, to the related Senior
Certificates, in each case on a pro rata basis, in proportion to the amount
of
Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been allocated thereto in the
absence of such Realized Losses.
(e) The
expenses and fees of the Trust shall be paid by each of REMIC I, REMIC II
and
REMIC III, to the extent that such expenses and fees relate to the assets
of
each such REMIC, and all other expenses and fees of the Trust shall be paid
pro
rata by each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III.
(f) [Reserved].
(g) In
addition, in the event that the Master Servicer receives any Subsequent
Recoveries from a Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deposit such funds
into
the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.02. If, after
taking into account such Subsequent Recoveries, the amount of a Realized
Loss is
reduced, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase
the Current Principal Amount of the related Class of Subordinate Certificates
with the highest payment priority to which Realized Losses have been allocated,
but not by more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to
that
Class of Subordinate Certificates pursuant to Section 6.03. The amount of
any
remaining Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to sequentially increase
the
Current Principal Amount of the related Subordinate Certificates, beginning
with
the Class of such Subordinate Certificates with the next highest payment
priority, up to the amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to
such
Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 6.03. Holders of such Certificates
will not be entitled to any payment in respect of current interest on the
amount
of such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution
Date on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to
the
Current Principal Amount of each Subordinate Certificate of such Class in
accordance with its respective Fractional Undivided Interest.
Section
6.02 [Reserved.]
Section
6.03 Allocation
of Losses.
On
or prior to each Determination Date,
the Master Servicer shall determine the amount of any Realized Loss in respect
of each Mortgage Loan that occurred during the immediately preceding calendar
month, based on information provided by the related Servicer.
(a) Group
I Certificates
(i) Realized
Losses with respect to a Group I Mortgage Loan will be allocated on a pro
rata
basis between the related PO Percentage of the Scheduled Principal Balance
of
such Group I Mortgage Loan and the related Non-PO Percentage of such Scheduled
Principal Balance.
(ii) On
each Distribution Date, the related PO Percentage of the principal portion
of
any Realized Loss on a Discount Mortgage Loan in Loan Group I and any Class
I-PO
Certificate Cash Shortfall will be allocated to the Class I-PO Certificates
until the Current Principal Amount of the Class I-PO Certificates is reduced
to
zero. With respect to any Distribution Date through the Group I Cross-Over
Date,
the aggregate of all amounts so allocable to the Class I-PO Certificates
on such
date in respect of any Realized Losses and any Class I-PO Certificate Cash
Shortfalls and all amounts previously allocated in respect of such Realized
Losses or Class I-PO Certificate Cash Shortfalls and not distributed on prior
Distribution Dates will be the “Class I-PO Certificate Deferred
Amount.” To the extent funds are available therefor on any
Distribution Date through the Group I Cross-Over Date, distributions in respect
of the Class I-PO Certificate Deferred Amount for the Class I-PO Certificates
from Available Funds will be made in accordance with priority fifth of
clause (i) above. No interest shall accrue on the Class I-PO Certificate
Deferred Amount. On each Distribution Date through the Group I Cross-Over
Date,
the Current Principal Amount of the lowest ranking Class of Subordinate
Certificates then outstanding will be reduced by the amount of any distributions
in respect of any Class I-PO Certificate Deferred Amount on such Distribution
Date in accordance with the priorities set forth above, through the operation
of
the Group I Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount. After the Group I
Cross-Over Date, no more distributions will be made in respect of, and
applicable Realized Losses and Class I-PO Certificate Cash Shortfalls allocable
to the Class I-PO Certificates will not be added to, the Class I-PO Certificate
Deferred Amount.
(iii) The
related Non-PO Percentage of the principal portion of Realized Losses on
the
Group I Mortgage Loans will be allocated on any Distribution Date as follows:
first, to the Class I-B-6 Certificates; second, to the Class I-B-5 Certificates;
third, to the Class I-B-4 Certificates; fourth, to the Class I-B-3 Certificates;
fifth, to the Class I-B-2 Certificates; and sixth, to the Class I-B-1
Certificates, in each case until the Current Principal Amount of such Class
has
been reduced to zero.
(iv) Thereafter,
the related Non-PO Percentage of the principal portion of Realized Losses
on the
Group I Mortgage Loans will be allocated on any Distribution Date first,
to the
Class I-A-2 Certificates until the Current Principal Amount of that Class
has
been reduced to zero, and then to the Class I-A-1 Certificates and the Exchanged
Certificates, on a pro rata basis.
(v) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no such allocation of any Realized Loss shall be made on a
Distribution Date to any Class of Group I Certificates (other than the Class
I-X
Certificates) to the extent that such allocation would result in the reduction
of the aggregate Current Principal Amounts of all the Group I Certificates
(other than the Class I-X Certificates) as of such Distribution Date, after
giving effect to all distributions and prior allocations of Realized Losses
on
the Group I Mortgage Loans on such date, to an amount less than the aggregate
Scheduled Principal Balance of all of the Group I Mortgage Loans as of the
first
day of the month of such Distribution Date (such limitation, the “Group I Loss
Allocation Limit”).
(b) Group
II Certificates
(i) Realized
Losses with respect to a Group II Mortgage Loan will be allocated on a pro
rata
basis between the related PO Percentage of the Scheduled Principal Balance
of
such Group II Mortgage Loan and the related Non-PO Percentage of such Scheduled
Principal Balance.
(ii) On
each Distribution Date, the related PO Percentage of the principal portion
of
any Realized Loss on a Discount Mortgage Loan in Loan Group II and any Class
II-PO Certificate Cash Shortfall will be allocated to the Class II-PO
Certificates until the Current Principal Amount of the Class II-PO Certificates
is reduced to zero. With respect to any Distribution Date through the Group
II
Cross-Over Date, the aggregate of all amounts so allocable to the Class II-PO
Certificates on such date in respect of any Realized Losses and any Class
II-PO
Certificate Cash Shortfalls and all amounts previously allocated in respect
of
such Realized Losses or Class II-PO Certificate Cash Shortfalls and not
distributed on prior Distribution Dates will be the “Class II-PO Certificate
Deferred Amount.” To the extent funds are available therefor on any
Distribution Date through the Group II Cross-Over Date, distributions in
respect
of the Class II-PO Certificate Deferred Amount for the Class II-PO Certificates
from Available Funds will be made in accordance with priority fifth of
clause (i) above. No interest shall accrue on the Class II-PO Certificate
Deferred Amount. On each Distribution Date through the Group II Cross-Over
Date,
the Current Principal Amount of the lowest ranking Class of Subordinate
Certificates then outstanding will be reduced by the amount of any distributions
in respect of any Class II-PO Certificate Deferred Amount on such Distribution
Date in accordance with the priorities set forth above, through the operation
of
the Group II Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount. After the Group II
Cross-Over Date, no more distributions will be made in respect of, and
applicable Realized Losses and Class II-PO Certificate Cash Shortfalls allocable
to the Class II-PO Certificates will not be added to, the Class II-PO
Certificate Deferred Amount.
(iii) The
related Non-PO Percentage of the principal portion of Realized Losses on
the
Group II Mortgage Loans will be allocated on any Distribution Date as follows:
first, to the Class II-B-6 Certificates; second, to the Class II-B-5
Certificates; third, to the Class II-B-4 Certificates; fourth, to the Class
II-B-3 Certificates; fifth, to the Class II-B-2 Certificates; and sixth,

of
such Class has been reduced to zero.
(iv) Thereafter,
the related Non-PO Percentage of the principal portion of Realized Losses
on the
Group II Mortgage Loans will be allocated on any Distribution Date first,
to the
Class II-A-2 Certificates until the Current Principal Amount of that Class
has
been reduced to zero, and then to the Class II-A-1 Certificates.
(v) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no such allocation of any Realized Loss shall be made on a
Distribution Date to any Class of Group II Certificates (other than the Class
II-X Certificates) to the extent that such allocation would result in the
reduction of the aggregate Current Principal Amounts of all the Group I
Certificates (other than the Class II-X Certificates) as of such Distribution
Date, after giving effect to all distributions and prior allocations of Realized
Losses on the Group II Mortgage Loans on such date, to an amount less than
the
aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of all of the Group II Mortgage Loans
as
of the first day of the month of such Distribution Date (such limitation,
the
“Group II Loss Allocation Limit”).
(c) Any
Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Certificates shall be allocated among
the related Certificates of such Class (other than the Interest Only
Certificates) in proportion to their respective Current Principal Amounts.
Any
allocation of Realized Losses shall be accomplished by reducing the Current
Principal Amount of the related Certificates on the related Distribution
Date.
(d) Realized
Losses shall be allocated on the Distribution Date in the month following
the
month in which such loss was incurred and, in the case of the principal portion
thereof, after giving effect to distributions made on such Distribution
Date.
(e) On
each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall determine the Group I Subordinate
Certificate Writedown Amount and the Group II Subordinate Certificate Writedown
Amount. Any Group I Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount
shall effect a corresponding reduction in the Current Principal Amount of
(i) if
prior to the Group I Cross-Over Date, the Current Principal Amounts of the
Group
I Subordinate Certificates, in the reverse order of their numerical Class
designations and (ii) from and after the Group I Cross-Over Date, the Group
I
Senior Certificates, in accordance with priorities set forth in clause (b)
above, which reduction shall occur on such Distribution Date after giving
effect
to distributions made on such Distribution Date. Any Group II
Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount shall effect a corresponding reduction
in the Current Principal Amount of (i) if prior to the Group II Cross-Over
Date,
the Current Principal Amounts of the Group II Subordinate Certificates, in
the
reverse order of their numerical Class designations and (ii) from and after
the
Group II Cross-Over Date, the Group II Senior Certificates, in accordance
with
priorities set forth in clause (b) above, which reduction shall occur on
such
Distribution Date after giving effect to distributions made on such Distribution
Date.
(f) Any
Net Interest Shortfall will be allocated among the Classes of Certificates
in
proportion to the respective amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest that
would
have been allocated thereto in the absence of such Net Interest Shortfall
for
such Distribution Date. The interest portion of any Realized Losses with
respect
to the Group I Mortgage Loans or Group II Mortgage Loans occurring on or
prior
to the Group I Cross-Over Date or Group II Cross-Over Date, respectively,
will
not be allocated among any Certificates, but will reduce the amount of Group
I
Available Funds or Group II Available Funds, respectively, on the related
Distribution Date. As a result of the subordination of the Group I Subordinate
Certificates and Group II Subordinate Certificates in right of distribution,
such Realized Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans and Group II Mortgage
Loans
will be borne by the Group I Subordinate Certificates and Group II Subordinate
Certificates, in inverse order of their numerical Class designations. Following
the Group I Cross-Over Date, the interest portion of Realized Losses on the
Group I Mortgage Loans will be borne by the Group I Senior
Certificates. Following the Group I Cross-Over Date, the interest
portion of Realized Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans will be borne by
the
Group I Senior Certificates.

whether with respect to the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans, REO Property
or
under any other related agreements (but only to the extent that such other

and
other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary
or

to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans
and
related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate

with such transfer shall be reimbursed to the Trustee by the Master Servicer
within 30 days of request therefor or, if the Master Servicer fails to pay
any
such amount, reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Amount.
In
addition to any other amounts which are then, or, notwithstanding the
termination of its activities under this Agreement, may become payable to
the
Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled
to
receive, out of any amount received on account of a Mortgage Loan or related
REO
Property, that portion of such payments which it would have received as
reimbursement under this Agreement if notice of termination had not been
given.
The termination of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer shall
not
affect any obligations incurred by the Master Servicer prior to such
termination.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if an Event of Default described in clause (vi) of this Section
8.01 shall occur, the Trustee upon receiving notice or becoming aware of
such
failure, and pursuant to the applicable terms of this Agreement, shall, by

and other advances of its own funds, and the Trustee shall act as provided
in
Section 8.02 to carry out the duties of the Master Servicer, including the
obligation to make any Monthly Advance the nonpayment of which was an
Event of Default described in clause (vi) of this Section 8.01. Any such

its
duties to a Person which is legally able to act, the Trustee shall automatically
become the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity
under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein
and
shall thereafter have all the rights and powers of, and be subject to all
the
responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liabilities relating
thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof
(including the requirement to make Monthly Advances pursuant to Section 6.06);
provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever with
respect to any liability (other than advances deemed recoverable and not
previously made) incurred by the Master Servicer at or prior to the time
of
termination. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to
compensation which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain
if the
Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, except for those amounts
due the
Master Servicer as reimbursement permitted under this Agreement for advances
previously made or expenses previously incurred. Notwithstanding the above,
the
Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally
unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, any established housing and home finance institution which is a
Xxxxxx
Xxx- or Xxxxxxx Mac-approved servicer, and with respect to a successor to
the
Master Servicer only, having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000, as
the
successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any
part
of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder;
provided, that the Trustee shall obtain a letter from each Rating Agency
that
the ratings, if any, on each of the Certificates will not be lowered as a
result
of the selection of the successor to the Master Servicer. Pending appointment
of
a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall 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 the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor
shall
agree; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 7.06 shall apply,
the
compensation shall not be in excess of that which the Master Servicer would
have
been entitled to if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, and
that
such successor shall undertake and assume the obligations of the Master Servicer
to pay compensation to any third Person acting as an agent or independent
contractor in the performance of master servicing responsibilities hereunder.
The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
(b) If
the Trustee shall succeed to any duties of the Master Servicer respecting
the
Mortgage Loans as provided herein, it shall do so in a separate capacity
and not
in its capacity as Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article IX
shall
be inapplicable to the Trustee in its duties as the successor to the Master
Servicer in the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (although such provisions
shall
continue to apply to the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee); the provisions
of
Article VII, however, shall apply to it in its capacity as successor master
servicer.
Section
8.03 Notification
to Certificateholders.
Upon
any
termination or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee
shall give prompt written notice thereof to Holders of the Certificates at
their
respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Rating
Agencies.
Section
8.04 Waiver
of Defaults.
The
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of the Certificates, within
60
days after the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have
been
cured, notice of each such Event of Default. The Holders of Certificates
evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of
the
Trust Fund may, on behalf of all Holders of the Certificates, waive any default
by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and
the
consequences thereof, except a default in the making of or the causing to
be
made any required distribution on the Certificates, which default may only
be
waived by Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests
aggregating 100% of the Trust Fund. Upon any such waiver of a past default,
such
default shall be deemed to cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been timely remedied for every purpose
of this
Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default
or
impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
The Trustee shall give notice of any such waiver to the Rating
Agencies.
Section
8.05 List
of Certificateholders.
Upon
written request of three or more Holders of Certificates of record, for purposes
of communicating with other Holders of Certificates with respect to their
rights
under this Agreement, the Trustee will afford such Certificateholders access
during business hours to the most recent list of related Certificateholders
held
by the Trustee.

documents, orders or other instruments which are specifically required to
be
furnished to the Trustee pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the

form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall
not
be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate,

hereunder; provided, further, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for

final distribution to the related Certificateholders from funds in the

provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from
liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act
or its
own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior
to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver
of all
such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations
of
the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of
their
respective duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement
against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee,

the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions
furnished to the Trustee, and conforming to the requirements of this
Agreement;
(ii) The
Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity for an error of judgment
made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the
Trustee unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining
the pertinent facts;
(iii) The
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the directions
of the
Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating
not less than 25% of the portion of the Trust Fund related to such Certificates,
if such action or non-action relates to the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any
trust
or other power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement;
(iv) The
Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice
or
knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer
of the
Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office shall have actual knowledge thereof. In the
absence of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no such
default or Event of Default;
(v) The
Trustee shall not in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in
any
Account held by or in the name of Trustee unless it is determined by a court
of
competent jurisdiction that the Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct
was the primary cause of such insufficiency (except to the extent that the
Trustee is obligor and has defaulted thereon);
(vi) Anything
in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the
Trustee
be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind
whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee
has
been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the
form
of action;
(vii) None
of the Depositor or the Trustee shall be responsible for the acts or omissions
of the other, it being understood that this Agreement shall not be construed
to
render them partners, joint venturers or agents of one another and
(viii) The
Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or
in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for
believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
such
risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions
contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform,
or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations
of
the Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreements, except during such time,
if
any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights,
duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance with
the
terms of this Agreement.
(e) All
funds received by the Master Servicer and the Trustee and required to be
deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant to this Agreement
will be promptly so deposited by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable.
(f) Except
for those actions that the Trustee is required to take hereunder, the Trustee
shall not have any obligation or liability to take any action or to refrain
from
taking any action hereunder in the absence of written direction as provided
hereunder.
Section
9.02 Certain
Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 9.01:
(i) The
Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting
in
reliance on any resolution, certificate of the Depositor, the Master Servicer
or
a Servicer, 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 and any advice of such counsel or any Opinion
of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection with respect
to any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith
and in
accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) The
Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or
powers vested in it by this Agreement, other than its obligation to give
notices
pursuant to this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation
hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any
of the
Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such
Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security
or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred
therein or thereby. Nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the
Trustee
of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge (which has not been
cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it
by this
Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise,
as a
prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of his
own
affairs;
(iv) Prior
to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or
waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, 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;
(v) The
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document,
unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of Certificates evidencing
Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the portion
of
the Trust Fund related to such Certificates, and provided that the payment
within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities
likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the
opinion of the Trustee reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security
afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement. The Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to
taking
any such action. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be
paid
by the related Certificateholders requesting the investigation;
(vi) The
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any
duties
hereunder either directly or through Affiliates, agents or attorneys; provided,
however, that the Trustee may not appoint any agent to perform its custodial
functions with respect to the Mortgage Files or paying agent functions under
this Agreement without the express written consent of the Master Servicer,
which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The Trustee shall not be liable
or
responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any of the Trustee’s agents or
attorneys or a custodian or paying agent appointed hereunder by the Trustee
with
due care and, when required, with the consent of the Master
Servicer;
(vii) Should
the Trustee deem the nature of any action required on its part, to be unclear,
the Trustee may require prior to such action that it be provided by the
Depositor with reasonable further instructions;
(viii)
The right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this
Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be
accountable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the
performance of any such act;
(ix)
The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety with respect
to the
execution of the trust created hereby or the powers granted hereunder, except
as
provided in Section 9.07; and
(x)
The Trustee shall not have any duty to conduct any affirmative investigation
as
to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Mortgage
Loan
by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, as applicable, or the eligibility of any Mortgage Loan for purposes
of this Agreement.
Section
9.03 Trustee
Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The
recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signature
and
countersignature of the Trustee on such Certificates) shall be taken as the
statements of the Depositor, and neither the Trustee, nor the Custodian on
its
behalf, shall have any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee
does
not make any representation as to the validity or sufficiency of the
Certificates (other than the signature and countersignature of the Trustee
on
the such Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee, or the Custodian on its behalf,
of the
obligation to review the Mortgage Files pursuant to Sections 2.02 and 2.04.
The
Trustee’s signature and countersignature (or countersignature of its agent) on
the Certificates shall be solely in its capacity as Trustee and shall not
constitute the Certificates an obligation of the Trustee in any other capacity.
The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor
of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for
the
use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor with respect to the
Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the legality or
validity of this Agreement or any document or instrument relating to this
Agreement, the validity of the execution of this Agreement or of any supplement
hereto or instrument of further assurance, or the validity, priority, perfection
or sufficiency of the security for the Certificates issued hereunder or intended
to be issued hereunder. The Trustee shall not at any time have any
responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity
and
enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and
priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority,
or for or with respect to the sufficiency of either Trust Fund, or any portion
of either Trust Fund or its ability to make the payments to be distributed
to
Certificateholders, under this Agreement. The Trustee shall not have any
responsibility for filing any financing statement or continuation statement
in
any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection
of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to record this
Agreement.
Section
9.04 Trustee
May Own Certificates.
The
Trustee in its individual capacity or in any capacity other than as Trustee
hereunder may become the owner or pledgee of any Certificates with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee and may otherwise deal with the
parties hereto.
Section
9.05 Trustee’s
Fees and Expenses.
The
Trustee will be entitled to recover, from the Distribution Account pursuant
to
Section 4.05, the Trustee Fee, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses,
disbursements and advances and the expenses of the Trustee in connection
with
any Event of Default, any breach of this Agreement or any claim or legal
action
(including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) or incurred or
made
by the Trustee in the administration of the trusts hereunder (including the
reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its counsel) except
any
such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or
intentional misconduct or which is the responsibility of the Certificateholders.
If funds in the Distribution Account are insufficient therefor, the
Trustee shall recover such expenses from the Depositor and the Depositor
hereby
agrees to pay such expenses, disbursements or advances upon demand. Such
compensation and reimbursement obligation shall not be limited by any provision
of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust.
Section
9.06 Eligibility
Requirements for Trustee.
The
Trustee and any successor Trustee shall during the entire duration of this
Agreement be a state bank or trust company or a national banking association
organized and doing business under the laws of such state or the United States
of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers,
having a combined capital and surplus and undivided profits of at least
$40,000,000 or, in the case of a successor Trustee, $50,000,000, subject
to
supervision or examination by federal or state authority and, in the case
of the
Trustee, rated “BBB” or higher by S&P or Fitch and “Baa2” or higher by
Xxxxx’x with respect to their long-term rating and rated “BBB” or higher by
S&P or Fitch and “Baa2” or higher by Xxxxx’x with respect to any outstanding
long-term unsecured unsubordinated debt, and, in the case of a successor
Trustee
other than pursuant to Section 9.10, rated in one of the two highest long-term
debt categories of, or otherwise acceptable to, each of the Rating Agencies.
If
the Trustee 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 9.06 the combined capital and surplus of
such
corporation shall be deemed to be its total equity capital (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 9.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in
the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.08.
The
Trustee may not be the Seller, an originator of any of the Mortgage Loans,

force
and effect: (i) fidelity insurance, (ii) theft of documents insurance and

for insurance typically maintained by banks or their affiliates which act
as
custodians for investor-owned mortgage pools. A certificate of an officer
of the
Trustee as to the Trustee’s compliance with this Section 9.07 shall be furnished
to any Certificateholder upon reasonable written request.
Section
9.08 Resignation
and Removal of the Trustee.
(a) The
Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the Trust hereby created
by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Seller and the Master
Servicer, with a copy to the Rating Agencies. Upon receiving such notice
of
resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by
written
instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered
to
each of the resigning trustee and the successor trustee. If no successor
trustee
shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days
after
the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition
any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee.
(b) If
at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of Section 9.06 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Depositor or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable
of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of
the
Trustee, or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall
take
charge or control of the Trustee, or of its property or affairs for the purpose
of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor shall
promptly remove the Trustee, and appoint a successor Trustee, by written
instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered

related Trust Fund by written instrument or instruments, in quadruplicate,
signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete
set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor, and the Trustee
so
removed and the successor so appointed. In the event that the Trustee is
removed
by the Holders of Certificates in accordance with this Section 9.08(c), the
Holders of such Certificates shall be responsible for paying any compensation
payable to a successor Trustee, in excess of the amount paid to the predecessor
Trustee.
(d) No
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.08 shall become effective
except upon appointment of and acceptance of such appointment by the successor
Trustee as provided in Section 9.09.
Section
9.09 Successor
Trustee.
(a) Any
successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 9.08 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment hereunder. The resignation or removal
of
the predecessor Trustee shall then 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
like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein. The predecessor Trustee
shall after payment of its outstanding fees and expenses promptly deliver
to the
successor Trustee all assets and records of the Trust held by it hereunder,
and
the Depositor and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee, all
such
rights, powers, duties and obligations.
(b) No
successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 9.09
unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 9.06.
(c) Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section
9.09, the successor trustee shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee
hereunder to all Certificateholders at their addresses as shown in the

Any
state
bank or trust company or national banking association into which the Trustee
may
be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any state
bank or
trust company or national banking association resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
state
bank or trust company or national banking association succeeding to all or
substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee shall be
the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such state bank or trust company
or
national banking association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
9.06. Such succession shall be valid without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section
9.11 Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding
any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any
legal
requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust or property
constituting the same may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee
acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all
instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee and the
Depositor 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, and
to
vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust,
or
any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.11,
such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Depositor and
the
Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.
(b) If
the Depositor shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after
the
receipt by it of a written request so to do, the Trustee shall have the power
to
make such appointment without the Depositor.
(c) No
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms
of
eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 9.06 hereunder and no notice
to
Certificateholders of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s)
shall be required under Section 9.08 hereof.
(d) In
the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant
to this
Section 9.11, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon the Trustee and required to be conferred on such co-trustee shall be
conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such
separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any
law
of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed
(whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder),
the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts,
in
which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding
of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall
be
exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction
of the Trustee.
(e) 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
IX.
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.
(f) To
the extent not prohibited by law, any separate trustee or co-trustee may,
at any
time, request the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power
and
authority, to do any lawful act under or with respect to 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.
(g) No
trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any
act or
omission of another trustee under this Agreement. The Depositor and the Trustee
acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate
trustee or co-trustee.

for REMIC I, the Holder of the Class I-R-2 Certificate is hereby designated
as
the “Tax Matters Person” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.860F-4(d)) for REMIC III, and the Holder of the Class II-R Certificate
is
hereby designated as the “Tax Matters Person” within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.860F-4(d)) for REMIC II. The Trustee is hereby designated
and appointed as the agent of each such Tax Matters Person. Any Holder of
a
Residual Certificate will by acceptance thereof appoint the Trustee as agent
and
attorney-in-fact for the purpose of acting as Tax Matters Person for the
related
REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III during such time as the Trustee does not own
any
such Residual Certificate. In the event that the Code or applicable Treasury
regulations prohibit the Trustee from signing tax or information returns
or
other statements, or the Trustee from acting as agent for the Tax Matters
Person, the Trustee shall take whatever action that in their sole good faith
judgment is necessary for the proper filing of such information returns or
for
the provision of a Tax Matters Person, including designation of the Holder
of a
Residual Certificate to sign such returns or act as Tax Matters Person. Each
Holder of a Residual Certificate shall be bound by this Section.
(c) The
Trustee shall provide upon request and receipt of reasonable compensation
such
information as required in Section 860D(a)(6)(B) of the Code to the Internal
Revenue Service, to any Person purporting to transfer a Residual Certificate
to
a Person other than a transferee permitted by Section 5.05(b), and to any
regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust
fund,
partnership, trust, estate, organization described in Section 1381 of the
Code,
or nominee holding an interest in a pass-through entity described in Section
860E(e)(6) of the Code, any record holder of which is not a transferee permitted
by Section 5.05(b) (or which is deemed by statute to be an entity with a
disqualified member).
(d) The
Trustee shall prepare, sign and file or cause to be filed any state income
tax
returns required under Applicable State Law with respect to each of REMIC
I,
REMIC II and REMIC III and the Trust Fund.
(e) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall comply with all
federal
withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders of interest,
original issue discount or principal on the Certificates that the Trustee
reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event
the
Trustee withholds any amount from payments of interest, original issue discount
or principal or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal
withholding requirements, the Trustee shall, together with its monthly report
to
such Certificateholders, indicate such amount withheld.
(f) The
Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund and the Depositor for any taxes
and
costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed
on or
incurred by such Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as a result
of a breach of the Trustee’s covenants set forth in this Section 9.12; provided,
however, such liability and obligation to indemnify in this paragraph shall
not
be joint and several, and the Trustee shall not be liable or be obligated
to
indemnify the Trust Fund for the failure by the other to perform any duty
under
this Agreement or the breach by the other of any covenant in this Agreement.
In
the event that any liable party hereto fails to honor its obligations under
the
preceding sentences, or taxes imposed on the Trust Fund are not otherwise
paid,
such taxes, to the extent attributable to Loan Group I or REMIC I or any
other
portion of the Trust Fund the ownership of which is evidenced by the Group
I
Certificates, shall be paid first with amounts otherwise to be distributed
to
the Class I-R-1 Certificates and I-R-2 Certificates, based on the REMIC or
such
related portion of the Trust Fund to which the tax relates, and second with
amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Holders of the following other
Certificates in the following order of priority: first, to the Class I-B-6
Certificates, second, to the Class I-B-5 Certificates, third, to the Class
I-B-4
Certificates, fourth, to the Class I-B-3 Certificates, fifth, to the Class
I-B-2
Certificates, sixth, to the Class I-B-1 Certificates, and eighth, to the
Group I
Senior Certificates (on a pro rata basis based on the amounts to be
distributed). In the event that any liable party hereto fails to honor its
obligations under the preceding sentences, or taxes imposed on the Trust
Fund
are not otherwise paid, such taxes, to the extent attributable to Loan Group
II
or REMIC II or any other portion of the Trust Fund the ownership of which
is
evidenced by the Group II Certificates, shall be paid, first, with amounts
otherwise to be distributed to the Class II-R Certificates and I-R-2
Certificates, based on the REMIC or such related portion of the Trust Fund
to
which the tax relates, and second with amounts otherwise to be distributed
to
the Holders of the following other Certificates in the following order of
priority: first, to the
Class II-B-6 Certificates, second, to the Class II-B-5 Certificates, third,
to
the Class II-B-4 Certificates, fourth, to the Class II-B-3 Certificates,
fifth,
to the Class II-B-2 Certificates, sixth, to the Class II-B-1 Certificates,
and
eighth, to the Group II Senior Certificates (on a pro rata basis based on
the
amounts to be distributed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, to the extent that such tax is payable by the Holder of
any
such Certificates, the Trustee is hereby authorized to retain on any
Distribution Date, from the Holders of the related Class R Certificates (and,
if
necessary, from the Holders of the other relevant 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
shall include in its monthly statement
amounts allocated to the relevant Certificates, taking into account the
priorities described in the second preceding sentence. The Trustee shall
promptly notify in writing the party liable for any such tax of the amount
thereof and the due date for the payment thereof.

Termination
Section
10.01 Termination
Upon Repurchase by the Depositor or its Designee or Liquidation of the Mortgage
Loans.
(a) Subject
to Section 10.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer created hereby with respect
to
the Trust Fund (as it relates to one of the Loan Groups) and the related
Certificates, other than the obligation of the Trustee to make payments to
related Certificateholders as hereinafter set forth and the indemnification
obligations under Section 7.03 hereof, shall terminate upon:
(i) the
repurchase by or at the direction of the Depositor or its designee
of all of the Mortgage Loans in a Loan Group and all related REO
Property remaining in a Loan Group at a price (in each case, the “Termination
Purchase Price”) equal to the sum of (a) 100% of the Outstanding Principal
Balance of each such Mortgage Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan related to
REO
Property) as of the date of repurchase, net of the principal portion of any
unreimbursed Monthly Advances made by the purchaser, together with interest
at
the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate accrued but unpaid to, but not including,
the first day of the month of repurchase, (b) the appraised value of any
related
REO Property, less the good faith estimate of the Depositor of liquidation
expenses to be incurred in connection with its disposal thereof (but not
more
than the Outstanding Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, together
with interest at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate accrued on that balance
but unpaid to, but not including, the first day of the month of repurchase),
such appraisal to be calculated by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the
Depositor and the Trustee at the expense of the Depositor, (c) unreimbursed
out-of pocket costs of the Master Servicer, including unreimbursed Servicing
Advances and the principal portion of any unreimbursed Monthly Advances,
made on
the Mortgage Loans prior to the exercise of such repurchase right and (d)
any
unreimbursed costs and expenses of the Trustee payable pursuant to Section
9.05
and to the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement; or
(ii) the
later of the making of the final payment or other liquidation, or any advance
with respect thereto, of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund
or
the disposition of all property acquired with respect to any Mortgage Loan;
provided, however, that in the event that an advance has been made, but not
yet
recovered, at the time of such termination, the Person having made such advance
shall be entitled to receive, notwithstanding such termination, any payments
received subsequent thereto with respect to which such advance was made;
or
(iii) the
payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them
pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) In
no event, however, shall the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of a Loan
Group created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the related “latest
possible maturity date” specified in Section 5.01(d) or (ii) 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 of this Agreement.
(c) The
right of the Depositor or its designee to repurchase all the assets of the
Trust
Fund relating to a Loan Group as described in Subsection 10.01(a)(i)
above shall be exercisable only if (i) the aggregate Scheduled Principal
Balance
of the related Mortgage Loans at the time of any such repurchase is less
than
10% of the Cut-Off Date Balance of the related Loan Group, or (ii) the
Depositor, based upon an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Depositor and
the
Trustee, has determined that the REMIC status of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC
III
has been lost or that a substantial risk exists that such REMIC status will
be
lost for the then-current taxable year. At any time thereafter, in the case
of
(i) or (ii) above, the Depositor may elect to terminate REMIC I, REMIC II
or
REMIC III at any time, and upon such election, the Depositor or its designee,
shall repurchase all the assets of the Trust Fund described in Subsection
10.01(a)(i) above.
(d) The
Trustee shall give notice of any termination to the related Certificateholders,
with a copy to the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies, upon which the
Certificateholders shall surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for
payment
of the final distribution and cancellation. Such notice shall be given by
letter, mailed not earlier than the l5th day and not later than the 25th
day of
the month next preceding the month of such final distribution, and shall
specify
(i) the Distribution Date upon which final payment of the related Certificates
will be made upon presentation and surrender of the related Certificates
at the
office of the Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final
payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution
Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender
of the related Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein
specified.
(e) If
the option of the Depositor to repurchase or cause the repurchase of all
the
assets in the Trust Fund relating to a Loan Group as described in Subsection
10.01(a)(i) above, is exercised, the Depositor and/or its designee shall
deliver
to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account, by the Business Day
prior to the applicable Distribution Date, an amount equal to the related
Termination Purchase Price. Upon presentation and surrender of the related
Certificates by the related Certificateholders, the Trustee shall distribute
to
such Certificateholders an amount determined as follows: with respect to
each
related Certificate (other than the Interest Only Certificates), the outstanding
Current Principal Amount, plus with respect to each such Certificate, one
month’s interest thereon at the applicable Pass-Through Rate; and with respect
to the Class R Certificates, the percentage interest evidenced thereby
multiplied by the difference, if any, between the above described repurchase
price and the aggregate amount to be distributed to the Holders of the
Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates). If the proceeds with
respect
to the related Mortgage Loans are not sufficient to pay all of the related
Senior Certificates in full, any such deficiency shall be allocated first,
to
the related Subordinate Certificates, in inverse order of their numerical
designations and then to the related Senior Certificates on a pro rata basis.
Upon deposit of the related Termination Purchase Price and following such
final
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall release promptly to the Depositor and/or
its designee the related Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans,
and
the related portions of the Accounts with respect thereto shall terminate,
subject to the Trustee’s obligation to hold any amounts payable to the related
Certificateholders in trust without interest pending final distributions
pursuant to Subsection 10.01(g). Any other amounts remaining in the Accounts
will belong to the Depositor.
(f) In
the event that this Agreement is terminated by reason of the payment or
liquidation of the related Mortgage Loans or the disposition of all property
acquired with respect to such Mortgage Loans under Subsection 10.01(a)(ii)
above, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account all distributable amounts remaining in the Master Servicer
Collection Account. Upon the presentation and surrender of the
related Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute to the remaining related
Certificateholders, pursuant to the written direction of the Trustee and
in
accordance with their respective interests, all related distributable amounts
remaining in the Distribution Account. Upon deposit by the Master Servicer
of
such distributable amounts, and following such final Distribution Date, the
Paying Agent shall release promptly to the Depositor or its designee the
related
Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Distribution Account
shall terminate with respect to a Loan Group, subject to the Paying Agent’s
obligation to hold any amounts payable to the related Certificateholders
in
trust without interest pending final distributions pursuant to this Subsection
10.01(f).
(g) If
not all of the related Certificateholders shall surrender their Certificates
for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in the above-mentioned
written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the related
remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation
and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months
after the second notice, not all the related Certificates shall have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or
appoint
any agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the related remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the related funds and other related assets which
remain subject to this Agreement.
(h) The
ES Trust shall terminate automatically upon termination of the Trust
Fund.
Section
10.02 Additional
Termination Requirements with respect to the Certificates.
(a) If
the option of the Depositor to repurchase all of the Mortgage Loans and related
properties in a Loan Group under Subsection 10.01(a)(i) above is exercised,
the
related portion of the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with
the
following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been furnished
with an
Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that the failure
of
the Trust to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.02 will not
(i)
result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in
Section 860F of the Code on REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III or (ii) cause
REMIC
I, REMIC II or REMIC III 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 tax return for REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III,
as
applicable, 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 addressed to
the
Trustee obtained at the expense of the Depositor;
(ii) During
such 90-day liquidation period, and at or prior to the time of making the
final
payment on the related Certificates, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets
of
REMIC I or REMIC II 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
Holders of the related Residual Certificates all cash on hand (other than
cash
retained to meet claims), and REMIC I or REMIC II, as applicable, shall
terminate at that time.
(b) By
their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby authorize
the
adoption of a 90-day liquidation period and the adoption of a plan of complete
liquidation for REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III, as applicable, which
authorization shall be binding upon all successor
Certificateholders.
(c) The
Trustee as agent for REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III, as applicable, hereby
agrees to adopt and sign such a plan of complete liquidation meeting the
requirements for a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and
any
regulations thereunder upon the written request of the Depositor and the
receipt
of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (a)(i) above and to take
such
other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the
Depositor.

XI
Miscellaneous
Provisions
Section
11.01 Intent
of Parties.
The
parties intend that each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III shall be treated
as
a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and that the ES Trust will qualify
as a
grantor trust under Subpart E, part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the
Code,
of which the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class I-R-1
Certificates and the Class II-R Certificates) are owners, rather than a
partnership, an association taxable as a corporation or a taxable mortgage
pool,
and that, to the fullest extent possible, beneficial ownership of a Certificate
(other than the Class I-R-1 Certificates and the Class II-R Certificates)
will
be treated as direct beneficial ownership of each individual, uncertificated
REMIC III Regular Interest or Class I-R-2 Interest held by the ES Trust for
which such Certificate is designated as the Corresponding Certificate in
Section
5.01(c)(iii). The provisions of this Agreement should be construed in
furtherance of this intent.
Section
11.02 Amendment.
(a) This
Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and the Trustee, but without notice to or the consent of any of the related
Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions herein or therein that may be defective or inconsistent with any
other provisions herein or therein (including to give effect to the expectations
of investors), to conform to the language in the prospectus supplement, to
comply with any changes in the Code, to revise any provision to reflect the
obligations of the parties to this Agreement as they relate to Regulation
AB or
to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising
under
this Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by
an
Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any related Certificateholder or cause REMIC I,
REMIC
II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the ES Trust to fail
to
qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes as evidenced by
an
Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee but not at the Trustee’s
expense.
(b) With
respect to the Certificates, this Agreement may also be amended from time
to
time by the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee, and the Holders
of
Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less
than
51% of the applicable Class or Classes, if such amendment affects only such
Class or Classes, 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 related Certificateholders; provided, however,
that
no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay
the
timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate, (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates the Holders
of
which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent
of the
Holders of all Certificates then outstanding, or (iii) cause REMIC I, REMIC
II
or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the ES Trust to fail
to
qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes, as evidenced
by an
Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee which shall be provided to the
Trustee other than at the Trustee’s expense. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, for purposes of giving or withholding of consents pursuant
to
this first paragraph of Section 11.02(b), Certificates registered in the
name of
or held for the benefit of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, or the Trustee
or
any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to vote their Fractional Undivided
Interests with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.
(c) Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall furnish a copy
of
such amendment or written notification of the substance of such amendment
to
each related Certificateholder, with a copy to the Rating Agencies.
(d) In
the case of an amendment under Subsection 11.02(b) above, it shall not be
necessary for the related Certificateholders to approve the particular form
of
such an amendment. Rather, it shall be sufficient if the related
Certificateholders approve the substance of the amendment. The manner of
obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof by related Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
(e) Prior
to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the
Trustee
stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by
this
Agreement. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any
such
amendment which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under
this Agreement.
Section
11.03 Recordation
of Agreement.
To
the
extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation
in
all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties
or
other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties
are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere.
The Depositor shall effect such recordation, at the expense of the Trust
upon
the request in writing of a Certificateholder, but only if such direction
is
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (provided at the expense of the
Certificateholder requesting recordation) to the effect that such recordation
would materially and beneficially affect the interests of the Certificateholders
or is required by law.
Section
11.04 Limitation
on Rights of Certificateholders.
(a) The
death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not terminate this Agreement
or the Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or
heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court
for a partition or winding up of the Trust, nor otherwise affect the rights,
obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.
(b) Except
as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Certificateholders shall have
any
right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management
of
the Trust, 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
establish the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members
of an
association; nor shall any Certificateholders be under any liability to any
third Person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement
pursuant to any provision hereof.
(c) No
Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this
Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law
upon,
under or with respect to this Agreement against the Depositor, the Trustee,
the
Master Servicer or any successor to any such parties unless (i) such
Certificateholder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice
of
a continuing default, as herein provided, (ii) the Holders of Certificates
evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of
the
Trust Fund shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute
such
action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall
have
offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against
the
costs and expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and
(iii)
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.
(d) No
one or more Certificateholders shall have any right by virtue of any provision
of this Agreement to affect the rights of any other Certificateholders or
to
obtain or seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such
Certificateholder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in
the
manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all
Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions
of this
Section 11.04, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be
entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
Section
11.05 Acts
of Certificateholders.
(a) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Certificateholders
may
be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially
similar
tenor signed by such Certificateholders in person or by an agent duly appointed
in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall
become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the
Trustee and, where it is expressly required, to the Depositor. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent
shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of
the
Trustee and the Depositor, if made in the manner provided in this Section
11.05.
(b) The
fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing
may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a
certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take
acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument
or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution
is by
a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity,
such
certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or
her
authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing,
or the authority of the individual executing the same, may also be proved
in any
other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) The
ownership of Certificates (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other
writing on such Certificates, except an endorsement in accordance with Section
5.02 made on a Certificate presented in accordance with Section 5.04) shall
be
proved by the Certificate Register, and neither the Trustee, the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer nor any successor to any such parties shall be affected by
any
notice to the contrary.
(d) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action of the holder of any Certificate shall bind every future holder of
the
same Certificate and the holder of every Certificate issued upon the
registration of transfer or exchange thereof, if applicable, or in lieu thereof
with respect to anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee,
the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any successor to any such party in
reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such
Certificates.
(e) In
determining whether the Holders of the requisite percentage of Certificates
evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests have given any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Certificates
owned by the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any Affiliate
thereof shall be disregarded, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.02(b)
and except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in
relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent
or waiver, only Certificates which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually
knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Certificates which have been
pledged in good faith to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer
or any
Affiliate thereof may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgor establishes
to
the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgor’s right to act with respect to such
Certificates and that the pledgor is not an Affiliate of the Trustee, the
Depositor, or the Master Servicer, as the case may be.

Fund
consisting primarily of a pool of fixed rate mortgage loans secured
by
first liens on one-to-four family residential properties sold by
STRUCTURED ASSET MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS II INC.
|
This
Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not
represent an obligation of or interest in Structured Asset Mortgage Investments
II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to below or any of their
affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying
Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by
Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the
Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Structured
Asset
Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates
will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation
secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
This
certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Fractional
Undivided Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of
Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a portion of a trust
(the
“Trust Fund”) primarily consisting of fixed rate mortgage loans secured by first
liens on one- to four- family residential properties (collectively, the
“Mortgage Loans”) sold by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc. (“XXXX
XX”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) and
Master Funding LLC to XXXX XX. EMC will act as master servicer of the
Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer”, which term includes any successors
thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date
specified above (the “Agreement”), among EMC Mortgage Corporation, as seller
(the “Seller”) and master servicer, XXXX XX, as depositor (the “Depositor”) and
U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain
of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent
not
defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed
to
them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder
of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which
such
Holder is bound.
[Interest
on this Certificate will accrue during the month prior to the month in which
a
Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs on the Current Principal
Amount hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth
above
and as further described in the Agreement. The Trustee will distribute on the
25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the
immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on
the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day
of
the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, an amount
equal to the product of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to
be
distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this
Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in
the
month immediately following the month of the latest scheduled maturity date
of
any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the Current
Principal Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to
zero.]
[Interest
on this Certificate will accrue from and including the 25th day of the calendar
month preceding the month in which a Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined)
occurs to and including the 24th day of the calendar month in which
that Distribution Date occurs on the [Current Principal][Notional] Amount hereof
at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above and as
further described in the Agreement. The Trustee will distribute on the 25th
day
of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately
following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First
Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding
such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional
Undivided Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest
[and principal], if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of
Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final
Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month immediately following
the month of the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is
not
likely to be the date on which the [Current Principal][Notional] Amount of
this
Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero. [The Class [_]-A-[_]
Certificates have no Current Principal Amount.]]
Distributions
on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the address
of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the
Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Trustee
in
writing as specified in the Agreement by wire transfer. 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 designated in such notice. The Initial [Current
Principal][Notional] Amount of this Certificate is set forth above. [The Current
Principal Amount hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable
to principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.]
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as
set
forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the
aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund
formed pursuant to the Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is
not
liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate
or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject
to
any liability under the Agreement.
This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made
to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under
the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of
the
Holders of Certificates, and with the consent of the Insurer with respect to
amendments related to the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, evidencing
Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the portion
of
the Trust Fund related to such Certificates (or in certain cases, Holders of
Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such percentage of the Fractional
Undivided Interests thereof). Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate
shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders
of
this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or
in
lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this
Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain
limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable with the Trustee upon surrender
of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies
maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly
executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations
representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will be issued
to
the designated transferee.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
the
Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate
is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class
and
in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration
of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may
treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other
than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to
the
termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later
of the (A) final payment or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto)
of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (B) disposition of
all
property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii)
the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage
Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the
Distribution Date on which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the
Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding
Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the
Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of
the
Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement
continue beyond the earlier of (i) the “latest possible maturity date” specified
in Section 5.01(d) of the Agreement or (ii) the expiration of 21 years after
the
death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.
Unless
this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the
Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed.

and as further described in the Agreement. The Trustee will distribute on the
25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the
immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on
the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day
of
the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, an amount
equal to the product of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to
be
distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this
Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in
the
month immediately following the month of the latest scheduled maturity date
of
any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the Current
Principal Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to
zero.
Distributions
on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the address
of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the
Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Trustee
in
writing as specified in the Agreement by wire transfer. 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 designated in such notice. The Initial Current
Principal Amount of this Certificate is set forth above. The Current Principal
Amount hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to
principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.
[No
transfer of this Class [_]-B-[_] Certificate will be made unless such transfer
is (i) exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities act of 1933,
as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance
with said Act and laws and (ii) made in accordance with Section 5.02 of the
Agreement. In the event that such transfer is to be made the
Trustee shall register such transfer if, (i) made to a transferee who has
provided the Trustee with evidence as to its QIB status; or (ii) (A) the
transferor has advised the Trustee in writing that the Certificate is being
transferred to an Institutional Accredited Investor and (B) prior to such
transfer the transferee furnishes to the Trustee an Investment Letter; provided
that if based upon an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A) and (B) above
are met sufficient to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to
an
exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable laws.]
[For
the
Class I-B-1, Class I-B-2, Class I-B-3, Class II-B-1, Class II-B-2 and Class
II-B-3 Certificates] [Each beneficial owner of this Certificate or any interest
herein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or
holding of this certificate or interest herein, that either (i) it is not an
employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of
1974, as amended or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (“Plan”), or investing with assets of a Plan or (ii) it has acquired and
is holding such certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption
90-30, as amended from time to time (“Exemption”), and that it understands that
there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption, including
that the certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than
“BBB-“ (or its equivalent) by Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, Inc., Dominion Bond
Rating Service, Inc. (known as DBRS, Inc.), Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited
(known as DBRS Limited) or Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc., and the certificate
is so rated or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds
used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest therein is an “insurance
company general account”, as such term is defined in Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of
PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.]
[For
the
Class I-B-4, Class I-B-5, Class I-B-6, Class II-B-4, Class II-B-5 and Class
II-B-6 Certificates] [This Certificate may not be acquired directly or
indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other retirement
arrangement which is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, unless the transferee certifies or represents that the
proposed transfer and holding of a Certificate and the servicing, management
and
operation of the trust and its assets: (i) will not result in any prohibited
transaction which is not covered under an individual or class prohibited
transaction exemption, including, but not limited to, Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, XXXX 00-00, XXXX 00-0, XXXX 95-60 or PTCE 96-23
and (ii) will not give rise to any additional obligations on the part of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, which will be deemed represented
by an owner of a Book-Entry Certificate or a Global Certificate or unless the
opinion specified in section 5.07 of the Agreement is provided.]
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as
set
forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the
aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund
formed pursuant to the Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is
not
liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate
or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject
to
any liability under the Agreement.
This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made
to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under
the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of
the
Holders of Certificates, and with the consent of the Insurer with respect to
amendments related to the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, evidencing
Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the portion
of
the Trust Fund related to such Certificates (or in certain cases, Holders of
Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such percentage of the Fractional
Undivided Interests thereof). Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate
shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders
of
this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or
in
lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this
Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain
limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable with the Trustee upon surrender
of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies
maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly
executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations
representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will be issued
to
the designated transferee.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
the
Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate
is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class
and
in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration
of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may
treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other
than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to
the
termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later
of the (A) final payment or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto)
of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (B) disposition of
all
property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii)
the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage
Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the
Distribution Date on which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the
Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding
Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the
Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of
the
Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement
continue beyond the earlier of (i) the “latest possible maturity date” specified
in Section 5.01(d) of the Agreement or (ii) the expiration of 21 years after
the
death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.
Unless
this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the
Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed.

evidencing
a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to
the
Class [_]-PO Certificates with respect to a portion of a Trust Fund
consisting primarily of a pool of fixed rate mortgage loans secured
by
first liens on one-to-four family residential properties sold by
STRUCTURED ASSET MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS II INC.
|
This
Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not
represent an obligation of or interest in Structured Asset Mortgage Investments
II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to below or any of their
affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying
Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by
Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the
Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of Structured
Asset
Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates
will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation
secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
This
certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Fractional
Undivided Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of
Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a portion of a trust
(the
“Trust Fund”) primarily consisting of fixed rate mortgage loans secured by first
liens on one- to four- family residential properties (collectively, the
“Mortgage Loans”) sold by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc. (“XXXX
XX”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) and
Master Funding LLC to XXXX XX. EMC will act as master servicer of the
Mortgage Loans (the “Master Servicer”, which term includes any successors
thereto under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date
specified above (the “Agreement”), among EMC Mortgage Corporation, as seller
(the “Seller”) and master servicer, XXXX XX, as depositor (the “Depositor”) and
U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain
of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent
not
defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed
to
them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder
of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which
such
Holder is bound.
The
Trustee will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day
is
not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a
“Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above,
to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month
of
such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional
Undivided Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount of principal
required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class
as
this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date
in the month immediately following the month of the latest scheduled maturity
date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the Current
Principal Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to
zero.
Distributions
on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the address
of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the
Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Trustee
in
writing as specified in the Agreement by wire transfer. 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 designated in such notice. The Initial Current
Principal Amount of this Certificate is set forth above. The Current Principal
Amount hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to
principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as
set
forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the
aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund
formed pursuant to the Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is
not
liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate
or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject
to
any liability under the Agreement.
This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made
to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under
the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of
the
Holders of Certificates, and with the consent of the Insurer with respect to
amendments related to the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, evidencing
Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the portion
of
the Trust Fund related to such Certificates (or in certain cases, Holders of
Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such percentage of the Fractional
Undivided Interests thereof). Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate
shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders
of
this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or
in
lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this
Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain
limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable with the Trustee upon surrender
of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies
maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly
executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations
representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will be issued
to
the designated transferee.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
the
Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate
is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class
and
in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration
of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may
treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other
than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to
the
termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later
of the (A) final payment or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto)
of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (B) disposition of
all
property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii)
the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage
Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the
Distribution Date on which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the
Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding
Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the
Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of
the
Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement
continue beyond the earlier of (i) the “latest possible maturity date” specified
in Section 5.01(d) of the Agreement or (ii) the expiration of 21 years after
the
death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.
Unless
this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the
Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed.

and as further described in the Agreement. The Trustee will
distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business
Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”),
commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last
Business Day of the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution
Date, an amount equal to the product of the Fractional Undivided Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if
any)
required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class
as
this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date
in the month immediately following the month of the latest scheduled maturity
date of any Mortgage Loan and is not likely to be the date on which the Current
Principal Amount of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to
zero.
Distributions
on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the address
of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the
Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Trustee
in
writing as specified in the Agreement by wire transfer. 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 designated in such notice. The Initial Current
Principal Amount of this Certificate is set forth above. The Current Principal
Amount hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to
principal hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.
Each
Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the
restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each person
holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a United
States Person and a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of any Ownership
Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery to XXXX
XX
and the Trustee of, among other things, an affidavit to the effect that it
is a
United States Person and Permitted Transferee, (iii) any attempted or purported
transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such
restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the
purported transferee, and (iv) if any person other than a United States Person
and a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate
in violation of such restrictions, then the Depositor will have the right,
in
its sole discretion and without notice to the Holder of this Certificate, to
sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Depositor, which purchaser
may be the Depositor, or any affiliate of the Depositor, on such terms and
conditions as the Depositor may choose.
This
certificate may not be acquired directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of,
an
employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement which is subject to title
I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and/or
section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, unless the
proposed transferee provides the Trustee with an opinion of counsel addressed
to
the Trustee and Master Servicer and on which they may rely (which shall not
be
at the expense of the Trustee or Master Servicer) which is acceptable to the
Trustee, that the purchase of this Certificate will not result in or constitute
a nonexempt prohibited transaction, is permissible under applicable law and
will
not give rise to any additional fiduciary obligations on the part of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as
set
forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the
aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund
formed pursuant to the Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is
not
liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate
or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject
to
any liability under the Agreement.
This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made
to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under
the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of
the
Holders of Certificates, and with the consent of the Insurer with respect to
amendments related to the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, evidencing
Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the portion
of
the Trust Fund related to such Certificates (or in certain cases, Holders of
Certificates of affected Classes evidencing such percentage of the Fractional
Undivided Interests thereof). Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate
shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders
of
this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or
in
lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this
Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain
limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable with the Trustee upon surrender
of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies
maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly
executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations
representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will be issued
to
the designated transferee.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
the
Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate
is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class
and
in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration
of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may
treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other
than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to
the
termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later
of the (A) final payment or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto)
of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (B) disposition of
all
property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii)
the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage
Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the
Distribution Date on which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the
Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding
Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the
Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of
the
Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement
continue beyond the earlier of (i) the “latest possible maturity date” specified
in Section 5.01(d) of the Agreement or (ii) the expiration of 21 years after
the
death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.
Unless
this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the
Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed.

evidencing
a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to
the
Class [_]-X Certificates with respect to a portion of a Trust Fund
consisting primarily of a pool of fixed rate mortgage loans secured
by
first liens on one-to-four family residential properties sold by
STRUCTURED ASSET MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS II INC.
|
This
Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not
represent an obligation of or interest in Structured Asset Mortgage Investments
II Inc., the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to below or any of their
affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying
Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by
Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or the
Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. None of the Structured
Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., the Master Servicer or any of their
affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other
obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
This
certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Fractional
Undivided Interest evidenced hereby in the beneficial ownership interest of
Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate in a portion of a trust
(the
“Trust Fund”) primarily consisting of fixed rate mortgage loans secured by first
liens on one- to four- family residential properties (collectively, the
“Mortgage Loans”) sold by Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc. (“XXXX
XX”). The Mortgage Loans were sold by EMC Mortgage Corporation (“EMC”) and
Master Funding LLC to XXXX XX. EMC will act as master servicer of the Mortgage
Loans (the “Master Servicer”, which term includes any successors thereto under
the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above
(the “Agreement”), among XXXX XX, as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage
Corporation, as seller and master servicer, and U.S. Bank National Association,
as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of
which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement.
This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is
bound.
Interest
on this Certificate will accrue during the month prior to the month in which
a
Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs on the Notional Amount hereof
at a per annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate set forth above and as
further described in the Agreement. The Trustee will distribute on the 25th
day
of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately
following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First
Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar
month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the
product of the Fractional Undivided Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and
the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to
the
Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed
Final
Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in the month immediately following
the month of the latest scheduled maturity date of any Mortgage Loan and is
not
likely to be the date on which the Notional Amount of this Class of Certificates
will be reduced to zero.
Distributions
on this Certificate will be made by the Paying Agent by check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear
on
the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Trustee
in writing as specified in the Agreement by wire transfer. Notwithstanding
the
above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice
by the Paying Agent of the pendency of such distribution and only upon
presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed
by the Trustee for that purpose and designated in such notice. The Initial
Notional Amount of this Certificate is set forth above. The Notional Amount
hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal
hereon and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as
set
forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the
aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund
formed pursuant to the Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is
not
liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate
or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject
to
any liability under the Agreement.
This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made
to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under
the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of
the
Holders of Certificates, evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating
not less than 51% of the portion of the Trust Fund related to such Certificates
(or in certain cases, Holders of Certificates of affected Classes evidencing
such percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests thereof). Any such consent
by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder
and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued
upon the transfer hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders
of
any of the Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable with the certificate registrar
upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices
or agencies maintained by the Trustee for such purposes, duly endorsed by,
or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized
denominations representing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will
be issued to the designated transferee.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
the
Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate
is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class
and
in the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration
of transfer, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may
treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other
than the obligations to make payments to Certificateholders with respect to
the
termination of the Agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later
of the (A) final payment or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto)
of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (B) disposition of
all
property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement, or (ii)
the optional repurchase by the party named in the Agreement of all the Mortgage
Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made only on or after the
Distribution Date on which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the
Mortgage Loans is less than the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding
Principal Balance specified in the Agreement of the Mortgage Loans at the
Cut-off Date. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of
the
Certificates. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created by the Agreement
continue beyond the earlier of (i) the “latest possible maturity date” specified
in Section 5.01(d) of the Agreement or (ii) the expiration of 21 years after
the
death of certain persons identified in the Agreement.
Unless
this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the
Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.
IN

COUNTY
OF NEW YORK

The
undersigned is the [Title of Officer] of [Name of Transferee] (the “Investor”),
the proposed transferee of an Ownership Interest in the Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3, Class [_]-R-[_] Certificates
(the “Certificates”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
dated as of August 1, 2007 (the “Agreement”), among Structured Asset Mortgage
Investments II Inc. as depositor (the “Depositor”), EMC Mortgage Corporation as
seller and master servicer, and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the
“Trustee”), and makes this affidavit on behalf of the Investor for the
benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee. Capitalized terms used, but
not defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Agreement.
1. The
Investor is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the Transfer,
a Permitted Transferee. The Investor is not acquiring its ownership
interest in the Certificates for the account of a Person other than a Permitted
Transferee.
2. The
Investor has been advised and understands that (i) a tax will be imposed on
Transfers of the Certificates to Persons that are not Permitted Transferees;
(ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such Transfer is
through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person
otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if
a
subsequent transferee furnishes to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent
transferee is a Permitted Transferee, and at the time of Transfer, such Person
does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false.
3. The
Investor has been advised and understands that a tax will be imposed on a
“pass-through entity” holding the Certificates if at any time during the taxable
year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee
is
the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Investor
understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to
which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that
such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does
not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this
purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real
estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate,
and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury regulations,
Persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
4. The
Investor has reviewed the provisions of Section 6.02(i) of the Agreement and
understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest
in the Certificates, including, without limitation, the restrictions on
subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding any prohibited
Transfers and mandatory sales. The Investor expressly agrees to be
bound by, and to abide by, such provisions of the Agreement and the restrictions
noted on the face of the Certificates. The Investor understands and
agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall
render the Transfer of the Certificates to the Investor contemplated hereby
null
and void. The Investor consents to any amendment of the Agreement that shall
be
deemed necessary by the Depositor (upon advice of nationally recognized counsel)
to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Certificates will
not
be owned directly or indirectly by a Person other than a Permitted
Transferee.
5. The
Investor agrees not to Transfer the Certificates, or cause the Transfer of
the
Certificates by a Person for whom the Investor is acting as nominee, trustee
or
agent, in each case unless it has received an affidavit and agreement in
substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement containing these
same representations and covenants from the subsequent transferee. In
connection with any such Transfer by the Investor, the Investor agrees to
deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor an affidavit substantially in the
form
set forth as Exhibit R to the Agreement to the effect that the Investor has
no actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is
not a
Permitted Transferee.
6. The
Investor has historically paid its debts as they have come due, intends to
pay
its debts as they come due in the future, and understands that the taxes
associated with holder an ownership interest in the Certificates may exceed
the
cash flow with respect thereto in some or all periods and intends to pay such
taxes as they become due. The Investor does not have the intention,
and no purpose of the Transfer of the Certificates to the Investor is, to impede
the assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect
to the Certificates.
7. The
Investor’s U.S. taxpayer identification number is [_____________].
8. The
Investor is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30)
of the Code (a “United State Person”).
9. The
Investor is aware that the Certificates may be a “noneconomic residual interest”
within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated under Section 860E of
the
Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain
liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest,
unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment
or
collection of tax.
10. The
Investor will not cause income from the Certificates to be attributable to
a
foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an
applicable income tax treaty, of the Investor or any other United States
Person.
11. Check
one
of the following:
o The
Transfer of
the Certificates complies with U.S. Treasury Regulation Sections 1.860E-1(c)(7)
and (8) and, accordingly:
(i) the
present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the
Certificates does not exceed the sum of:
|
(a)
|
the
present value of any consideration given to the Investor to acquire
such
Certificates;
|
|
(b)
|
the
present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificates;
and
|
|
(c)
|
the
present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding
such
Certificates as the related REMIC generates losses;
and
|
(ii) the
Transfer of the Certificates will not result in such Certificates being held,
directly or indirectly, by a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base,
within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Investor or any
other United States Person.
For
purposes of the calculation in clause (i) above, (x) the Investor is assumed
to
pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b)(1) of the
Code
(but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of
the highest rate specified in Section 11(b)(1) of the Code if the Investor
has
been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in
the
preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable
year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (y) present values are computed
using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section
1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period
used by the Investor.
The
Transfer of the Certificates complies with U.S. Treasury Regulation Sections
1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly:
|
(i)
|
the
Investor is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury
Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the
Certificates will only be taxed in the United
States;
|
|
(ii)
|
at
the time of the Transfer, and at the close of the Investor’s two fiscal
years preceding the fiscal year of the transfer, the Investor had
gross
assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation
of a
“related person” to the Investor within the meaning of U.S. Treasury
Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii) and any other asset the principal
purpose of which is to permit the Investor to satisfy the condition of
this clause (ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess
of
$10 million;
|
|
(iii)
|
the
Investor will transfer the Certificates only to another “eligible
corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section
1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction in which the requirements of
U.S. Treasury Regulation Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii)
and -1(c)(5) are satisfied and, accordingly, the subsequent transferee
provides a similar affidavit with this box checked;
and
|
|
(iv)
|
the
Investor determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the
Certificates based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but
not
limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss
assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and
other
factors specific to the Investor) that it has determined in good
faith and
has concluded that such consideration, together with other assets
of the
Investor, will be sufficient to cover the taxes associated with the
Certificates.
|
o None
of the
above.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Investor has caused this instrument to be executed on

DEFINITIONS
Capitalized

ARTICLE
II
CUSTODY
OF MORTGAGE DOCUMENTS
Section
2.1. Custodian
to Act as Agent: Acceptance of Mortgage Files. The Custodian, as
the duly appointed custodial agent of the Trustee for these purposes,
acknowledges (subject to any exceptions noted in the Initial Certification
referred to in Section 2.3(a)) receipt of the Mortgage Files relating to the
Mortgage Loans identified on the schedule attached hereto (the “Mortgage Files”)
and declares that it holds and will hold such Mortgage Files as agent for the
Trustee, in trust, for the use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders.
Section
2.2. Recordation
of Assignments. If any Mortgage File includes one or more
assignments of Mortgage that have not been recorded pursuant to the provisions
of Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Mortgage
Loan is not a MOM Loan or the related Mortgaged Properties are located in
jurisdictions specifically excluded by the Opinion of Counsel delivered to
the
Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each
such assignment shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Depositor for the
purpose of recording it in the appropriate public office for real property
records, and the Depositor, at no expense to the Custodian, shall promptly
cause
to be recorded in the appropriate public office for real property records each
such assignment of Mortgage and, upon receipt thereof from such public office,
shall return each such assignment of Mortgage to the Custodian.
Section
2.3. Review
of Mortgage Files.
(a) On
or
prior to the Closing Date, in accordance with Section 2.02 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall deliver to EMC (on its own behalf
and
on behalf of Master Funding), the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee
an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit One evidencing
receipt (subject to any exceptions noted therein) of a Mortgage File for each
of
the Mortgage Loans listed on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Mortgage Loan
Schedule”).
(b) Within
90
days of the Closing Date, the Custodian agrees, for the benefit of
Certificateholders, to review, in accordance with the provisions of Section
2.02
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each such document, and shall deliver
to
EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding), the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee an Interim Certification in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit Two to the effect that all such documents have been executed
and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified
on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions listed on Schedule A
attached to such Interim Certification. The Custodian shall be under no duty
or
obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine,
enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have
actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be
on
their face.
(c) Not
later
than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian shall review, for
the benefit of Certificateholders, the Mortgage Files as provided in Section
2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and deliver to EMC (on its own
behalf and on behalf of Master Funding), the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and
the Trustee a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Three
evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files.
(d) In
reviewing the Mortgage Files as provided herein and in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Custodian shall make no representation as to and shall not be
responsible to verify (i) the validity, legality, enforceability, due
authorization, recordability, sufficiency or genuineness of any of the documents
included in any Mortgage File or (ii) the collectability, insurability,
effectiveness or suitability of any of the documents in any Mortgage
File.
Upon
receipt of written request from EMC, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, the
Custodian shall as soon as practicable supply such Person with a list of all
of
the documents relating to the Mortgage Loans missing from the Mortgage
Files.
Section
2.4. Notification
of Breaches of Representations and Warranties. Upon discovery by
the Custodian of a breach of any representation or warranty made by the
Depositor as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect
to a
Mortgage Loan relating to a Mortgage File, the Custodian shall give prompt
written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee.
Section
2.5. Custodian
to Cooperate: Release of Mortgage Files. Upon receipt of written
notice from the Depositor that EMC has repurchased one or more Mortgage Loans
pursuant to Article II of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and a request
for
release (a “Request for Release”) confirming that the purchase price therefor
has been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or the Distribution
Account, then the Custodian agrees to promptly release to the Seller the related
Mortgage Files.
Upon
the
Custodian’s receipt of a Request for Release substantially in the form of
Exhibit D to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement signed by a Servicing Officer
of the related Servicer, stating that it has received payment in full of a
Mortgage Loan or that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary
for
such purposes, the Custodian agrees promptly to release to the related Servicer,
the related Mortgage File. The Depositor shall deliver to the
Custodian and the Custodian agrees to review in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the
Mortgage File with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan.
From
time
to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan,
including, for this purpose collection under any Primary Insurance Policy,
the
related Servicer (or if the Servicer does not, the Master Servicer) shall
deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer
requesting that possession of all of the Mortgage File be released to the
related Servicer and certifying as to the reason for such release and that
such
release will not invalidate any insurance coverage provided in respect of the
Mortgage Loan under any of the Insurance Policies. Upon receipt of the
foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File to the related
Servicer. All Mortgage Files so released to the related Servicer shall be held
by it in trust for the Trustee for the use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. The related Servicer shall cause each Mortgage File or
any
document therein so released to be returned to the Custodian when the need
therefor by the related Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage
Loan
has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan
have been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or the
Distribution Account or (ii) the Mortgage File or such document has been
delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as
required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other
proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially
or
non-judicially, and the related Servicer has delivered to the Custodian a
certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of
the
Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the
purpose or purposes of such delivery.
At
any
time that the related Servicer is required to deliver to the Custodian a Request
for Release, the related Servicer shall deliver two copies of the Request for
Release if delivered in hard copy or the related Servicer may furnish such
Request for Release electronically to the Custodian, in which event the
Servicing Officer transmitting the same shall be deemed to have signed the
Request for Release. In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage
File because of a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan, such Request for Release shall
be followed by an assignment of mortgage, without recourse, representation
or
warranty from the Trustee to the Seller (unless such Mortgage Loan is a MOM
Loan) and the related Mortgage Note shall be endorsed without recourse,
representation or warranty by the Trustee and be returned to the Seller;
provided, however, that in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is registered on
the
MERS System, no assignment of mortgage or endorsement of the Mortgage Note
by
the Trustee shall be required. In connection with any Request for
Release of a Mortgage File because of the payment in full of a Mortgage Loan,
such Request for Release shall be accompanied by a certificate of satisfaction
or other similar instrument to be executed by or on behalf of the Trustee and
returned to the related Servicer.
Section
2.6. Assumption
Agreements. In the event that any assumption agreement,
substitution of liability agreement or sale of servicing agreement is entered
into with respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement in accordance
with the terms and provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the related Servicer under the related
Servicing Agreement to notify the Custodian that such assumption or substitution
agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian the original of
such
assumption or substitution agreement, which shall be added to the related
Mortgage File and, for all purposes, shall be considered a part of such Mortgage
File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting
parts thereof.
ARTICLE
III
CONCERNING
THE CUSTODIAN
Section
3.1. Custodian
as Bailee and Agent of the Trustee. With respect to each Mortgage
Note, Mortgage and other documents constituting each Mortgage File which are
delivered to the Custodian, the Custodian is exclusively the bailee and
custodial agent of the Trustee and has no instructions to hold any Mortgage
Note
or Mortgage for the benefit of any person other than the Trustee and the
Certificateholders and undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties
as
are specifically set forth in this Agreement and in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 2.5 of this
Agreement, no Mortgage Note, Mortgage or Mortgage File shall be delivered by
the
Custodian to the Depositor, the Servicers or the Master Servicer or otherwise
released from the possession of the Custodian.
Section
3.2. Custodian
May Own Certificates. The Custodian in its individual
or any
other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not
Custodian.
Section
3.3. Trustee
to Pay Custodian’s Fees. The Trustee covenants and agrees to pay
to the Custodian from time to time, and the Custodian shall be entitled to,
reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it in the exercise and
performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Custodian.
Section
3.4. Custodian
May Resign; Trustee May Remove Custodian. The Custodian may
resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed upon it as such
obligations and duties relate to its acting as Custodian of the Mortgage Loans.
Upon receiving such written notice of resignation, the Trustee shall either
take
custody of the Mortgage Files itself and give prompt written notice thereof
to
the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Custodian, or promptly appoint a
successor Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Custodian and one copy to the
successor Custodian. If the Trustee shall not have taken custody of the Mortgage
Files and no successor Custodian shall have been so appointed and have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such written notice of
resignation, the resigning Custodian may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Custodian.
The
Trustee may remove the Custodian at
any time with the consent of the Master Servicer. In such event, the Trustee
shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a
successor Custodian hereunder. Any successor Custodian shall be a depository
institution subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority,
shall be able to satisfy the other requirements contained in Section 3.6 and
shall be unaffiliated with the Servicer, or the Depositor.
Any
resignation or removal of the
Custodian and appointment of a successor Custodian pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Section 3.4 shall become effective upon acceptance of
appointment by the successor Custodian. The Trustee shall give prompt notice
to
the Depositor and the Master Servicer of the appointment of any successor
Custodian. No successor Custodian shall be appointed by the Trustee without
the
prior approval of the Depositor and the Master Servicer.
Section

COMPLIANCE
WITH REGULATION AB
Section
4.1. Intent
of the Parties; Reasonableness. The parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that the purpose of this Article IV is to facilitate compliance by
the
Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations
of the Commission. The Depositor shall not exercise its right to request
delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than
in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges
that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time,
whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff,
consensus among participants in the mortgage-backed securities markets, advice
of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the
Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions
on
the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. The Custodian shall
cooperate reasonably with the Depositor to deliver to the Depositor (including
any of its assignees or designees), any and all disclosure, statements, reports,
certifications, records and any other information necessary in the reasonable,
good faith determination of the Depositor to permit the Depositor to comply
with
the provisions of Regulation AB.
Section
4.2. Additional
Representations and Warranties of the Custodian.
(a) The
Custodian hereby represents and warrants that the information set forth in
the
Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of the Certificates – The
Custodians” (the “Custodian Disclosure”) does not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light
of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(b) The
Custodian shall be deemed to represent to the Depositor as of the date hereof
and on each date on which information is provided to the Depositor under Section
4.3 that, except as disclosed in writing to the Depositor prior to such date:
(i) there are no aspects of its financial condition that could have a material
adverse effect on the performance by it of its Custodian obligations under
this
Agreement or any other Securitization Transaction as to which it is the
custodian; (ii) there are no material legal or governmental proceedings pending
(or known to be contemplated) against it; and (iii) there are no affiliations,
relationships or transactions relating to the Custodian with respect to the
Depositor or any sponsor, issuing entity, servicer, trustee, originator,
significant obligor, enhancement or support provider or other material
transaction party (as such terms are used in Regulation AB) relating to the
Securitization Transaction contemplated by the Agreement, as identified by
the
Depositor to the Custodian in writing as of the Closing Date (each, a
“Transaction Party”).
(c) If
so
requested by the Depositor on any date following the Closing Date, the Custodian
shall, within five Business Days following such request, confirm in writing
the
accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph (a) of
this Section or, if any such representation and warranty is not accurate as
of
the date of such confirmation, provide reasonably adequate disclosure of the
pertinent facts, in writing, to the requesting party. Any such request from
the
Depositor shall not be given more than once each calendar quarter, unless the
Depositor shall have a reasonable basis for a determination that any of the
representations and warranties may not be accurate.
Section
4.3. Additional
Information to Be Provided by the Custodian. For so long as the
Certificates are outstanding, for the purpose of satisfying the Depositor's
reporting obligation under the Exchange Act with respect to any class of
Certificates, the Custodian shall (a) notify the Depositor in writing of any
material litigation or governmental proceedings pending against the Custodian
that would be material to Certificateholders, and (b) provide to the Depositor
a
written description of such proceedings. Any notices and descriptions required
under this Section 4.3 shall be given no later than five Business Days prior
to
the Determination Date following the month in which the Custodian has knowledge
of the occurrence of the relevant event. As of the date the Depositor, the
Trustee or Master Servicer files each Report on Form 10-D or Form 10-K with
respect to the Certificates, the Custodian will be deemed to represent that
any
information previously provided under this Section 4.3, if any, is materially
correct and does not have any material omissions unless the Custodian has
provided an update to such information.
Section
4.4. Report
on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation. On or before March
15 of each calendar year, the Custodian shall:
(a) deliver
to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor a
report regarding the Custodian’s assessment of compliance (an
“Assessment of Compliance”) with the Servicing Criteria (as identified and
marked in Exhibit Four attached hereto) during the preceding calendar year,
as
required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of
Regulation AB. The Assessment of Compliance, as set forth in Regulation AB,
must
contain (i) a statement by such officer of its responsibility for assessing
compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Custodian, (ii) a
statement by such officer that the Custodian used the Servicing Criteria
attached as Exhibit Four hereto, and which will also be attached to the
Assessment of Compliance, to assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria
applicable to the Custodian, (iii) an assessment by such officer of the
Custodian’s compliance with the applicable Servicing Criteria for the period
consisting of the preceding calendar year, including disclosure of any material
instance of noncompliance with respect thereto during such period, which
assessment shall be based on the activities the Custodian performs with respect
to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the
Custodian, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans, (iv)
a
statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation
report on the Custodian’s Assessment of Compliance for the period consisting of
the preceding calendar year, and (v) a statement as to which of the Servicing
Criteria, if any, are not applicable to the Custodian, which statement shall
be
based on the activities the Custodian performs with respect to asset-backed
securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Custodian, that are
backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans. Such report at a minimum
shall address each of the Servicing Criteria identified and marked on Exhibit
Four attached hereto as being applicable to the Custodian; and
(b) deliver
to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor an Attestation Report
(an
“Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm that attests to,
and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the Custodian, as required
by Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation
AB, which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for
attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board.
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered
by
the Custodian unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to
the
Trust Fund.
(d) In
the
event the Custodian is terminated under, or resigns pursuant to, the terms
of
this Agreement, the Custodian shall provide an Assessment of Compliance and
cause to be provided an Attestation Report pursuant to this Section 4.4
notwithstanding any such termination or resignation.
Section
4.5. Indemnification;
Remedies.
(a) The
Custodian shall indemnify the Depositor, each affiliate of the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and each broker dealer acting as underwriter,
placement agent or initial purchaser of the Certificates or each Person who
controls any of such parties (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act); and the respective present and former
directors, officers, employees and agents of each of the foregoing, and shall
hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and
any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out
of
or based upon:
(i) (A)
any
untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in
the
Custodian Disclosure and any information, report, certification, accountants’
attestation or other material provided under this Article IV by or on behalf
of
the Custodian (collectively, the “Custodian Information”), or (B) the omission
or alleged omission to state in the Custodian Information a material fact
required to be stated in the Custodian Information or necessary in order to
make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were
made, not misleading; or
(ii) any
failure by the Custodian to deliver any information, report, certification,
accountants’ attestation or other material when and as required under this
Article IV.
(b) In
the
case of any failure of performance described in clause (ii) of Section 4.5(a),
the Custodian shall promptly reimburse the Depositor for all costs reasonably
incurred by the Depositor in order to obtain the information, report,
certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required
by the Custodian.

CUSTODY
OF MORTGAGE DOCUMENTS
Section
2.1. Custodian
to Act as Agent: Acceptance of Mortgage Files. The Custodian, as
the duly appointed agent of the Trustee for these purposes, acknowledges
(subject to any exceptions noted in the Initial Certification referred to in
Section 2.3(a)) receipt of the Mortgage Files relating to the Mortgage Loans
attached hereto (the "Mortgage Files") and declares that it holds and will
hold
such Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, in trust, for the use and benefit
of all present and future Certificateholders.
Section
2.2. Recordation
of Assignments. If any Mortgage File relating to the Mortgage
Loans includes one or more assignments of Mortgage to the Trustee in a state
which is specifically excluded from the Opinion of Counsel delivered by the
Sellers to the Trustee and the Custodian pursuant to the provisions of Section
2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each such assignment shall be
delivered, at the direction of the Depositor (in written or electronic format),
by the Custodian to the Depositor for the purpose of recording it in the
appropriate public office for real property records, and the Depositor, at
no
expense to the Custodian, shall promptly cause to be recorded in the appropriate
public office for real property records each such assignment of Mortgage and,
upon receipt thereof from such public office, shall return each such assignment
of Mortgage to the Custodian.

(a) On
or prior to the Closing Date, in accordance with Section 2.02 of the Pooling
and
Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor, EMC (on
its
own behalf and on behalf of Master Funding), the Master Servicer and the Trustee
an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit One evidencing
receipt (subject to any exceptions noted therein) of a Mortgage File for each
of
the Mortgage Loans.
(b) Within
90 days of the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loans,
within 5 Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee or the Custodian
thereof), the Custodian agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, to
review, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, each such document relating to the Mortgage Loans, and
shall execute and deliver to the Depositor, EMC (on its own behalf and on behalf
of Master Funding), the Master Servicer and the Trustee an Interim Certification
in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Two to the effect that all such documents
have been executed and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage
Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions listed
on Schedule A attached to such Interim Certification. The Custodian
shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said
documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the
same
are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that
they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport
to be on their face.
(c) Not
later than 180 days after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Substitute
Mortgage Loans, within 5 Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee or
the
Custodian thereof), the Custodian shall review the Mortgage Files relating
to
the Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and execute and deliver to the Depositor, EMC (on its own behalf
and
on behalf of Master Funding), the Master Servicer and the Trustee a Final

and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall make no
representation as to and shall not be responsible to verify (i) the validity,
legality, enforceability, due authorization, recordability, sufficiency or
genuineness of any of the documents included in any Mortgage File or (ii) the
collectibility, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any of the
documents in any Mortgage File.
Upon
receipt of written request from the Trustee, the Custodian shall as soon as
practicable supply the requesting party with a list of all of the documents
missing from the Mortgage Loans then contained in the Mortgage
Files.
Section
2.4. Notification
of Breaches of Representations and Warranties. Upon discovery by
the Custodian of a breach of any representation or warranty made by the
Depositor as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect
to a
Mortgage Loan relating to a Mortgage File, the Custodian shall give prompt
written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the applicable Servicer
and the Trustee.
Section
2.5. Custodian
to Cooperate: Release of Mortgage Files. Upon receipt of written
notice from the Master Servicer or the Trustee that the Sellers have repurchased
a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Article II of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
and that the Repurchase Price therefor has been deposited in the Distribution
Account, and a Request for Release (as defined below), the Custodian agrees
to
promptly release to the Sellers the related Mortgage File.
Upon
the
Custodian's receipt of a request for release (a "Request for Release")
substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
signed by an officer of the related Servicer involved in, or responsible for,
the administration and servicing of the Mortgage Loans whose name appears on
a
list of servicing officers furnished by such Servicer upon request, as such
list
may from time to time be amended (each, a “Servicing Officer”) stating that it
has received payment in full of a Mortgage Loan or that payment in full will
be
escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Custodian agrees to
promptly release to such Servicer the related Mortgage File. The
Depositor shall deliver to the Custodian, and the Custodian agrees to accept,
the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the Mortgage File with
respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, which documents the Custodian will
review to the extent provided in Article II of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
From
time
to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan,
including, for this purpose, collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy, the related Servicer shall (or if the related Servicer does not, then
the Master Servicer may) deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release signed
by a Servicing Officer requesting that possession of all of the related Mortgage
File be released to such Servicer and certifying as to the reason for such
release and that such release will not invalidate any insurance coverage
provided in respect of the related Mortgage Loan under any of the Insurance
Policies. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver
such Mortgage File to the related Servicer. All Mortgage Files so
released to the related Servicer shall be held by it in trust for the Trustee
for the use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. The related Servicer shall cause each Mortgage
File or any document therein so released to be returned to the Custodian when
the need therefor by such Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) such Mortgage
Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the related
Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Distribution Account or (ii) such
Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public
trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating
or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the related
Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the related Servicer
has delivered to the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying
as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such
document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such
delivery.
At
any
time that a Servicer or the Master Servicer is required to deliver to the
Custodian a Request for Release, such Servicer or the Master Servicer shall
deliver two copies of the Request for Release if delivered in hard copy or
such
Servicer or the Master Servicer may furnish such Request for Release
electronically to the Custodian, in which event the Servicing Officer
transmitting the same shall be deemed to have signed such Request for Release.
In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of a
repurchase of a Mortgage Loan, the assignment of mortgage and the related
Mortgage Note shall be returned to the related Servicer or the Master Servicer,
as applicable, for execution and endorsement, respectively, pursuant to a power
of attorney from the Trustee and for delivery to the Sellers. If the
related Servicer or the Master Servicer does not have a power of attorney from
the Trustee to execute the applicable assignment and to endorse the related
Mortgage Note, such Request for Release shall be accompanied by an assignment
of
mortgage, without recourse, executed by the Trustee to the Sellers and the
related Mortgage Note shall be endorsed without recourse by the Trustee (if
not
in blank) and be returned to the related Servicer or the Master Servicer, as
applicable, for delivery to the Sellers; provided, however, that in the case
of
a Mortgage Loan that is registered on the MERS® System, no assignment of
mortgage or endorsement of the Mortgage Note by the Trustee, or by the related
Servicer or the Master Servicer pursuant to a power of attorney from the
Trustee, shall be required. In connection with any Request for
Release of a Mortgage File because of the payment in full of a Mortgage Loan
and
if the related Servicer or the Master Servicer does not have a power of attorney
from the Trustee to execute the applicable certificate of satisfaction or
similar instrument, such Request for Release shall be accompanied by a
certificate of satisfaction or other similar instrument to be executed by or
on
behalf of the Trustee and returned to the related Servicer or the Master
Servicer, as applicable.
Section
2.6. Assumption
Agreements. In the event that any assumption
agreement, substitution of liability agreement or sale of servicing
agreement is entered into with respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to this
Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the related
Servicing Agreement, shall cause the related Servicer to notify the Custodian
that such assumption agreement, substitution of liability agreement or sale
of
servicing agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian the
original of such assumption agreement, substitution of liability agreement
or
sale of servicing agreement, which shall be added to the related Mortgage File
and, for all purposes, shall be considered a part of such Mortgage File to
the
same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting parts
thereof.

exclusively the bailee and agent of the Trustee and has no instructions to
hold
any Mortgage Note or Mortgage File for the benefit of any person other than
the
Trustee and the Certificateholders and undertakes to perform such duties and
only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. Except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 2.5
of this Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan, no Mortgage Note, Mortgage

EMC, in its capacity as a seller, to pay the Custodian from time to time, and
the Custodian shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services

for
all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Custodian in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including
the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel
and of all persons not regularly in its employ), except any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith, or to
the
extent that such cost or expense is indemnified by the Depositor pursuant to
the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Section
3.5. Custodian
May Resign; Trustee May Remove Custodian. The Custodian may
resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed upon it as such
obligations and duties relate to its acting as Custodian of the Mortgage
Loans. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Trustee shall
either take custody of the Mortgage Files itself and give prompt notice thereof
to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers and the Custodian, or
promptly appoint a successor Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate,
one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Custodian and
one
copy to the successor Custodian. If the Trustee shall not have taken
custody of the Mortgage Files and no successor Custodian shall have been so
appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of
such
notice of resignation, the resigning Custodian may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Custodian.
The
Trustee may remove the Custodian at any time with the consent of the Master
Servicer. In such event, the Trustee shall appoint, or petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Custodian
hereunder. Any successor Custodian shall be a depository institution
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, shall
be
able to satisfy the other requirements contained in Section 3.7 and shall be
unaffiliated with any Servicer or the Depositor.
Any
resignation or removal of the Custodian and appointment of a successor Custodian
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 3.5 shall become effective
upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Custodian. The
Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Depositor and the Master Servicer of
the
appointment of any successor Custodian. No successor Custodian shall
be appointed by the Trustee without the prior approval of the Depositor and
the
Master Servicer.
Section

or Consolidation of Custodian. Any Person into which the
Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated,
or
any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the
Custodian shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the
Custodian, shall be the successor of the Custodian hereunder (provided such
Person shall satisfy the requirements set forth in Section 3.7), 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.

(b) The
Custodian shall not be responsible or liable for, and makes no representation
or
warranty with respect to, the validity, adequacy or perfection or any lien
upon
or security interest in the Mortgage Files.

shall have no notice, and shall not be bound by any of the terms and conditions

or
agreement.
(d) The
Custodian may rely on and shall be protected in acting in good faith upon any
certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, magnetic tape, letter, telegram or
other document, or any security, delivered to it and in good faith believed
by
it to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper party or parties; but
in
the case of any loan document or other request, instruction, document or
certificate which by any provision hereof is specifically required to be
furnished to the Custodian, the Custodian shall be under a duty to examine
the
same to determine whether or not it conforms prima facie to the requirements
of
this Custodial Agreement.
(e) The
Custodian shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done
or
step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistake of fact or law,
or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection therewith,
except in the case of its negligent performance or omission.
(f) The
Custodian shall have no obligation to verify the receipt of any such documents
the existence of which was not made known to the Custodian by the Mortgage

faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the

faith
for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving
interpretations of Regulation AB to the extent reasonably practicable, unless

assignees or designees), any and all disclosure, statements, reports,
certifications, records and any other information necessary in the reasonable,
good faith determination of the Depositor and the Master Servicer to permit
the
Depositor and the Master Servicer to comply with the provisions of Regulation
AB.
Section

“Agreement”), by and among EMC MORTGAGE CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation (“EMC” or a “Seller”), MASTER FUNDING LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (“Master Funding” or a “Seller”, and
together with EMC, the “Sellers”) and STRUCTURED ASSET MORTGAGE

Upon

terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Seller agrees to
sell, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, certain conventional, first lien

and individual condominium units (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) as
described herein. The Purchaser intends to deposit the Mortgage Loans into
a
trust fund (the “Trust Fund”) and create Prime Mortgage Trust, Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-3 (the “Certificates”), under a
pooling and servicing agreement, to be dated as of August 1, 2007 (the

series thereof (including certain classes of the Certificates) from time to
time
in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the
“Securities Act”). Such registration statement, when it became effective
under the Securities Act, and the prospectus relating to the public offering
of
certain classes of the Certificates by the Purchaser (the “Public
Offering”), as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time
pursuant to the Securities Act or otherwise, are referred to herein as the
“Registration Statement” and the “Prospectus,” respectively. The
“Term Sheet Supplement” shall mean the free writing prospectus, dated
August 30, 2007. The “Prospectus
Supplement” shall mean the final
supplement, dated
August 31, 2007, to the
Prospectus, dated June 28, 2007, relating to certain
classes of the
Certificates. With respect to the Public Offering of certain classes of
the Certificates, the Purchaser and Bear, Xxxxxxx & Co. Inc. (“Bear
Xxxxxxx”) have entered into a terms agreement dated as of August 30, 2007 to
an underwriting agreement dated February 26, 2007, between the Purchaser and

Loan Schedule shall be delivered to the Purchaser on the Closing Date and shall
be in form and substance mutually agreed to by EMC (on its own behalf as a
Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) and the Purchaser.
SECTION
4. Mortgage
Loan Transfer.
(a) The
Purchaser will be entitled to all scheduled payments of principal and interest
on the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date (regardless of when actually
collected) and all payments thereon, other than scheduled principal and interest
due on or before the Cut-off Date but received after the Cut-off Date. Each

on
the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date (including payments
collected after the Cut-off Date) and all payments thereon, other than scheduled
principal and interest due after the Cut-off Date but received on or before
the

outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date
as

(b) Pursuant
to various conveyancing documents to be executed on the Closing Date and
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Purchaser will assign
on
the Closing Date all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage
Loans to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. In connection
with the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans, each Seller has
delivered or will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee by the Closing
Date or such later date as is agreed to by the Purchaser and such Seller (each
of the Closing Date and such later date is referred to as a “Mortgage File
Delivery Date”), the items of each Mortgage File, provided,
however, that in lieu of the foregoing, each Seller may deliver
the
following documents, under the circumstances set forth below: (w) in lieu of
the
original Security Instrument (other than the Mortgages related to the EMC Flow
Loans), assignments to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof which
have
been delivered, are being delivered or will, upon receipt of recording
information relating to the Security Instrument required to be included thereon,
be delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned
to
the related Seller in time to permit their delivery as specified above, the
related Seller may deliver a true copy thereof with a certification, on the
face
of such copy, substantially as follows: “Certified to be a true and correct copy
of the original”; (x) in lieu of the Security Instrument (other than the
Mortgages related to the EMC Flow Loans), assignments to the Trustee or
intervening assignments thereof, if the applicable jurisdiction retains the
originals of such documents (as evidenced by a certification from such Seller
to
such effect) such Seller may deliver photocopies of such documents containing
an
original certification by the judicial or other governmental authority of the
jurisdiction where such documents were recorded; (y) in lieu of the Mortgage
Notes relating to the Mortgage Loans, each identified in the list delivered
by
the Purchaser to the Trustee on the Closing Date and attached hereto as Exhibit
5, the related Seller may deliver lost note affidavits and indemnities of such
Seller; and (z) the related Seller shall not be required to deliver intervening
assignments or Mortgage Note endorsements between the related Underlying Seller
and such Seller, between such Seller and the Depositor, and between the
Depositor and the Trustee; and provided further, however, that in the case
of
Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior
to the Closing Date, the such Seller, in lieu of delivering the above documents,
may deliver to the Trustee a certification by such Seller or the Master Servicer
to such effect and shall deposit all amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage
Loans in the Master Servicer Collection Account on the Closing
Date. Each Seller shall deliver such original documents (including
any original documents as to which certified copies had previously been
delivered) or such certified copies to the Trustee promptly after they are
received. EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master
Funding) shall cause the Mortgage and intervening assignments, if any, and
the
assignment of the Security Instrument to be recorded not later than 180 days
after the Closing Date, unless such assignment is not required to be recorded
under the terms set forth in Section 6(a) hereof.
(c) In
connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS®
System, EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding)
further agrees that it will cause, at EMC’s own expense, within 30 days after
the Closing Date, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have
been assigned by the related Seller to the Purchaser and by the Purchaser to
the
Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the
Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans
which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files
(a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee and (b) the
code
in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the Certificates issued
in connection with such Mortgage Loans. EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller
and
on behalf of Master Funding) further agrees that it will not, and will not
permit any Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer agrees
that
it will not, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any
Mortgage Loan during the term of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement unless
and
until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(d) Each
Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge hereunder that all of the Mortgage Loans
and the related servicing will ultimately be assigned to U.S. Bank National
Association, as Trustee for the Holders of the Mortgage, on the date
hereof.
SECTION
5. Examination
of Mortgage Files.
(a) On
or
before the Mortgage File Delivery Date, each Seller will have made the related
Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or its agent for examination which
may
be at the offices of the Trustee or the related Seller and/or such Seller’s
custodian. The fact that the Purchaser or its agent has conducted or has failed
to conduct any partial or complete examination of the related Mortgage Files
shall not affect the Purchaser’s rights to demand cure, repurchase, substitution
or other relief as provided in this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing,
each Seller shall make the related Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser
or
its agent from time to time so as to permit the Purchaser to confirm such
Seller’s compliance with the delivery and recordation requirements of this
Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(b) Pursuant
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the Closing Date the Custodian,
on
behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, will
acknowledge receipt of each Mortgage Loan by delivery to EMC (on its own behalf
as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding), the Purchaser and the Trustee
of
an initial certification in the form attached as Exhibit One to the Custodial
Agreement.
(c) Pursuant
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within 90 days of the Closing Date
(or,
with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, within five Business Days after
the receipt by the Trustee or Custodian thereof), the Trustee will review or
shall cause the Custodian to review items of the Mortgage Files as set forth
on
Exhibit 1 and will deliver to EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on
behalf of Master Funding), the Purchaser and the Trustee an interim
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit Two to the Custodial
Agreement. If the Trustee or Custodian, as its agent, finds any
document listed on Exhibit 1 not to have been executed or received, or to
be unrelated, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal
balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Final Mortgage
Loan Schedule or to appear defective on its face (a “Material Defect”),
the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall promptly notify EMC of such
Material Defect. EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master
Funding) shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within 90 days from
the
date of notice from the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, of the Material
Defect and if EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master
Funding) fails to correct or cure such Material Defect within such period and
such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, EMC (on its own behalf as
a
Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) will, in accordance with the terms
of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within 90 days of the date of notice,
provide the Trustee with a Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two years of
the
Closing Date) or purchase the related Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase
Price; provided that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be
other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code,
any such cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the
date such breach was discovered; provided,however, that if such
defect relates solely to the inability of EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller
and
on behalf of Master Funding) to deliver the original Security Instrument or
intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the originals
of
such documents, or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable
jurisdiction, EMC shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if EMC
(on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) delivers such
original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event
later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation
shall not apply in the event that EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on
behalf of Master Funding) cannot deliver such original or copy of any document
submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable
jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office;
provided that EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master
Funding) shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office
or,
if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents
have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian,
as its agent, shall be effected by EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on
behalf of Master Funding) within thirty days of its receipt of the original
recorded document.
(d) Pursuant
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within 180 days of the Closing Date
(or,
with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, within five Business Days after
the receipt by the Trustee or Custodian thereof) the Trustee will review or
cause the Custodian to review items of the Mortgage Files as set forth on
Exhibit 1 and will deliver to EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on
behalf of Master Funding), the Purchaser and the Trustee a final certification
substantially in the form of Exhibit Three to the Custodial Agreement. If the
Trustee or Custodian, as its agent, finds a Material Defect, the Trustee or
the
Custodian, as its agent, shall promptly notify EMC of such Material Defect.
EMC
(on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall correct
or
cure any such Material Defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the
Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, of the Material Defect and if EMC (on
its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) fails to correct
or
cure such Material Defect within such period and such defect materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related
Mortgage Loan, EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master
Funding) will, in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, within 90 days of the date of notice, provide the Trustee with a
Substitute Mortgage Loan (if within two years of the Closing Date) or purchase
the related Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price; provided
that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a
“qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such
cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date such
breach was discovered; provided,however, that if such defect
relates solely to the inability of EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on
behalf of Master Funding) to deliver the original Security Instrument or
intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the originals
of
such documents, or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable
jurisdiction, EMC shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if EMC
(on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) delivers such
original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event
later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation
shall not apply in the event that EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on
behalf of Master Funding) cannot deliver such original or copy of any document
submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable
jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office;
provided that EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master
Funding) shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office
or,
if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents
have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian,
as its agent, shall be effected by EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on
behalf of Master Funding) within thirty days of its receipt of the original
recorded document.
(e) At
the
time of any substitution, EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf
of
Master Funding) shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Substitute Mortgage
Loan, the related Mortgage File and any other documents and payments required
to
be delivered in connection with a substitution pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. At the time of any purchase or substitution, the Trustee
in
accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall (i)
assign to EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding)
and cause the Custodian to release the documents (including, but not limited
to,
the Mortgage, Mortgage Note and other contents of the Mortgage File) in the
possession of the Custodian relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan and (ii)
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in EMC (on its own behalf as
a
Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) title to such Deleted Mortgage
Loan.
SECTION
6. Recordation
of Assignments of Mortgage.
(a) EMC
(on
its own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall cause each
assignment of the Security Instrument from the Sellers to the Trustee to be
recorded not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, unless (a) such
recordation is not required by the Rating Agencies or an Opinion of Counsel
has
been provided to the Trustee (with a copy to the Custodian) which states that
the recordation of such assignments is not necessary to protect the interests
of
the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loans or (b) MERS is identified
on the Mortgage or a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage, as the
Mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the related Seller and its successors
and assigns; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing,
each assignment shall be submitted for recording by EMC (on its own behalf
as a
Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) in the manner described above, at no
expense to the Trust or Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of (i) reasonable
direction by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided
Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the portion of the Trust related
to
such Classes, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence
of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to EMC and (iv) the
occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 8.02 of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.
While
each such Mortgage or assignment is being recorded, if necessary, EMC (on its
own behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) shall leave or cause
to
be left with the Trustee a certified copy of such Mortgage or assignment. All
customary recording fees and reasonable expenses relating to the recordation
of
the assignments of mortgage to the Trustee or the Opinion of Counsel, as the
case may be, shall be borne by EMC.
(b) It
is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans
by each Seller to the Purchaser, as contemplated by this Agreement be, and
be
treated as, a sale. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such
conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by such Seller to the
Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of that Seller. However, in
the
event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are
held by a court to continue to be property of such Seller, then (a) this
Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning
of
Articles 8 and 9 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the transfer
of
the Mortgage Loans provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by such
Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of such Seller’s right,
title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to
the
holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all
proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, to the extent the Purchaser
would otherwise be entitled to own such Mortgage Loans and proceeds pursuant
to
Section 4 hereof, including all amounts, other than investment earnings, from
time to time held or invested in any accounts created pursuant to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities
or
other property; (c) the possession by the Purchaser or the Trustee of Mortgage
Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money,
negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the
secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to
Section 9-313 (or comparable provision) of the applicable Uniform Commercial
Code; and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the
Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable
law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to any provision
hereof or pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall also be deemed
to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. EMC (on its own
behalf as a Seller and on behalf of Master Funding) and the Purchaser shall,
to
the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be
reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create
a
security interest in the Mortgage Loans, 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 Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
SECTION

Mortgage Loan and (iii) other matters to which like properties are commonly

assurance of title customary in the relevant jurisdiction therefor in a form
acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, was issued on the date that each
Mortgage Loan was created by a title insurance company which, to the best of
the
related Seller’s knowledge, was qualified to do business in the jurisdiction
where the related Mortgaged Property is located, insuring such Seller
and its successors and assigns that the Mortgage is a first priority lien on
the
related Mortgaged Property in the original principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan. The related Seller is the sole insured under such lender’s

(i)
the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the restorable
cost
of improvements located on such Mortgaged Property or (iii) the maximum coverage
available under federal law; and each Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor

Section 1.860G-2(a)(3) or Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) or any
other provision that would allow a Mortgage Loan to be treated as a “qualified
mortgage” notwithstanding its failure to meet the requirements of Section

(4), (5), (6), (7) and (9);

information set forth in Schedule A of the Prospectus Supplement with respect
to
the Mortgage Loans is true and correct in all material respects;

Mortgage Loan.
(xxv) if
any of
the Mortgage Loans are secured by a leasehold interest, with respect to each
leasehold interest: the use of leasehold estates for residential properties

Mortgage Loan would be regarded for purposes of Section 3(a)(41) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as having been originated by an
entity described in clauses (a) or (b) above.

Substitute Mortgage Loan as of the date of substitution.
Upon
discovery or receipt of notice by EMC, the Purchaser or the Trustee of a breach

materially and adversely affects the value of the interests of the Purchaser,
the Certificateholders or the Trustee in any of the Mortgage Loans delivered

in clause (x) of this Section 7, then, in each case, in lieu of purchasing
such
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price, EMC shall pay the
amount of the Prepayment Charge (net of any amount previously collected by
or
paid to the Trust Fund in respect of such Prepayment Charge) from its own funds
and without reimbursement therefor, and EMC shall have no obligation to
repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan. The obligations of EMC to
cure,
purchase or substitute a qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan shall constitute
the Purchaser’s, the Trustee’s and the Certificateholder’s sole and exclusive
remedy under this Agreement or otherwise respecting a breach of representations
or warranties hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans, except for the
obligation of EMC to indemnify the Purchaser for such breach as set forth in
and
limited by Section 14 hereof.
Any
cause
of action against EMC or relating to or arising out of a breach by EMC of any
representations and warranties made in this Section 7 shall accrue as to any
Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by EMC or notice thereof by

Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless each Seller and its respective
directors, officers and controlling persons (as defined in Section 15 of the
Securities Act) from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability or action
in respect thereof, to which they or any of them may become subject, under
the
Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability
or
action arises out of, or is based upon (i) any untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the Purchaser’s Information as identified in Exhibit
4, the omission to state in the Prospectus Supplement or Prospectus (or
any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto approved by the Purchaser and in which
additional Purchaser’s Information is identified), in reliance upon and in
conformity with the Purchaser’s Information, a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, (ii) any representation
or warranty made by the Purchaser in Section 9 hereof being, or alleged to
be,
untrue or incorrect, or (iii) any failure by the Purchaser to perform its
obligations under this Agreement; and the Purchaser shall reimburse each Seller,
and each other indemnified party for any legal and other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending or preparing
to
defend any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. The foregoing
indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Purchaser
otherwise may have to the Sellers, or any other such indemnified
party,
(c) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of
notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if
a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under
such
subsection, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought
in
writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have
under this Section 14 except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any
material respect by such failure or from any liability which it may have
otherwise). In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party,
and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent
it
may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly (but,
in
any event, within 30 days) after receiving the aforesaid notice from such
indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own
counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be
at
the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment
of
such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying
parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying
parties shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such
action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action,
or
(iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that
there is a conflict of interest between itself or themselves and the
indemnifying party in the conduct of the defense of any claim or that the
interests of the indemnified party or parties are not substantially co-extensive
with those of the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying parties
shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of
the
indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses
shall be borne by the indemnifying parties; provided, however,
that the indemnifying party shall be liable only for the fees and expenses
of
one counsel in addition to one local counsel in the jurisdiction involved.
Anything in this subsection to the contrary notwithstanding, an indemnifying
party shall not be liable for any settlement or any claim or action effected
without its written consent; provided, however, that such consent
was not unreasonably withheld.
(d) If
the
indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 14 shall
for any reason be unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any loss,
claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to in
Section 14, then the indemnifying party shall in lieu of indemnifying the
indemnified party contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect
thereof, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Sellers on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other
from the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans, the offering of the
Certificates and the other transactions contemplated hereunder. No person found
liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f)
of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who
is
not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) The
parties hereto agree that reliance by an indemnified party on any publicly
available information or any information or directions furnished by an
indemnifying party shall not constitute negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct by such indemnified party.
SECTION
15. Notices. All
demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing but may be
delivered by facsimile transmission subsequently confirmed in writing. Notices

SECTION
16. Transfer

Mortgage Loans and any or all of its interest under this Agreement to the
Trustee without the consent of the Sellers, and, upon such assignment, the
Trustee shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of the Purchaser
hereunder; provided, however, the Purchaser shall remain entitled
to the benefits set forth in Sections 12, 14 and 18 hereto and as provided
in
Section 2(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sole and exclusive right and
remedy of the Trustee with respect to a breach of representation or warranty
of
the Sellers shall be the purchase or substitution obligations of EMC contained
in Sections 5 and 7 hereof.
SECTION
17. Termination. This
Agreement may be terminated (a) by the mutual consent of the parties hereto
prior to the Closing Date, (b) by the Purchaser, if the conditions to the
Purchaser’s obligation to close set forth under Section 11(a) hereof are not
fulfilled as and when required to be fulfilled or (c) by any Seller, if the
conditions to the Sellers’ obligation to close set forth under Section 11(b)
hereof are not fulfilled as and when required to be fulfilled. In the event
of
termination pursuant to clause (b), EMC (on its own behalf as a Seller and
on
behalf of Master Funding) shall pay, and in the event of termination pursuant
to
clause (c), the Purchaser shall pay, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the other in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. In the event of a termination pursuant to clause (a), each party
shall be responsible for its own expenses.
SECTION
18. Representations,
Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All
representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, or
contained in certificates of officers of the Sellers submitted pursuant hereto,
shall remain operative and in full force and effect and shall survive delivery
of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser (and by the Purchaser to the Trustee).
Subsequent to the delivery of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, EMC’s
representations and warranties contained herein with respect to the Mortgage
Loans shall be deemed to relate to the Mortgage Loans actually delivered to
the
Purchaser and included in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and any Substitute Mortgage
Loan.
SECTION
19. Severability. If
any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited or invalid under applicable
law, the Agreement shall be ineffective only to such extent, without
invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.
SECTION
20. Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be an original,
but which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
SECTION
21. Amendment. This
Agreement cannot be amended or modified in any manner without the prior written
consent of each party.

Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict
of laws principles thereof other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General
Obligations Law.
SECTION
23. Further
Assurances. Each of the parties agrees to execute and deliver
such instruments and take such actions as another party may, from time to time,
reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the
terms
of this Agreement including any amendments hereto which may be required by
either Rating Agency.
SECTION
24. Successors
and Assigns.
This
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each
of
the Sellers and the Purchaser and their permitted successors and assigns and,
to
the extent specified in Section 14 hereof, Bear Xxxxxxx, and their directors,
officers and controlling persons (within the meaning of federal securities
laws). The Sellers acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser may assign its
rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, with respect to
EMC’s representations and warranties respecting the Mortgage Loans) to the
Trustee. Any person into which any Seller may be merged or consolidated (or
any
person resulting from any merger or consolidation involving such Seller), any
person resulting from a change in form of such Seller or any person succeeding
to the business of such Seller, shall be considered the “successor” of such
Seller hereunder and shall be considered a party hereto without the execution
or
filing of any paper or any further act or consent on the part of any party
hereto. Except as provided in the two preceding sentences, this Agreement cannot
be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by either party hereto without the written
consent of the other parties to this Agreement and any such assignment or
purported assignment shall be deemed null and void.

– STANDARD & POOR’S PREDATORY LENDING CATEGORIES
Standard
& Poor’s has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory lending laws in
the Jurisdictions listed below into three categories based upon a combination
of
factors that include (a) the risk exposure associated with the assignee
liability and (b) the tests and thresholds set forth in those laws. Note that
certain loans classified by the relevant statute as Covered are included in
Standard & Poor’s High Cost Loan Category because they included thresholds
and tests that are typical of what is generally considered High Cost by the
industry.

MORTGAGE LOAN DOCUMENTS
Section
2.01. Servicing of Mortgage Loans.
The
Servicer does hereby agree to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
the
terms of this Agreement. The rights of the Owner to receive payments
with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be as set forth in this
Agreement.
Section
2.02. Maintenance of Servicing Files.
The
Servicer shall maintain a Servicing File consisting of all documents necessary
to service the Mortgage Loans. The possession of each Servicing File
by the Servicer is for the sole purpose of servicing the Mortgage Loan, and
such
retention and possession by the Servicer is in a custodial capacity
only. The Servicer acknowledges that the ownership of each Mortgage
Loan, including the Note, the Mortgage, all other Mortgage Loan Documents and
all rights, benefits, proceeds and obligations arising therefrom or in
connection therewith, has been vested in the Owner. All rights
arising out of the Mortgage Loans including, but not limited to, all funds
received on or in connection with the Mortgage Loans and all records or
documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans prepared by or which come into
the
possession of the Servicer shall be received and held by the Servicer in trust
for the exclusive benefit of the Owner as the owner of the related Mortgage
Loans. Any portion of the related Servicing Files retained by the
Servicer shall be appropriately identified in the Servicer's computer system
to
clearly reflect the ownership of the related Mortgage Loans by the
Owner. The Servicer shall release its custody of the contents of the
related Servicing Files only in accordance with written instructions of the
Owner, except when such release is required as incidental to the Servicer's
servicing of the Mortgage Loans, such written instructions shall not be
required.
Section
2.03. Books and Records.
The
Servicer shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete
set of books and records for the Mortgage Loans which shall be appropriately
identified in the Servicer's computer system to clearly reflect the ownership
of
the Mortgage Loan by the Owner. In particular, the Servicer shall
maintain in its possession, available for inspection by the Owner, or its
designee and shall deliver to the Owner upon demand, evidence of compliance
with
all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, and requirements
of
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, as applicable, including but not limited to
documentation as to the method used in determining the applicability of the
provisions of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, to the
Mortgaged Property, documentation evidencing insurance coverage and eligibility
of any condominium project for approval by Xxxxxx Mae and periodic inspection
reports as required by Section 4.13. To the extent that original
documents are not required for purposes of realization of Liquidation Proceeds
or Insurance Proceeds, documents maintained by the Servicer may be in the form
of microfilm or microfiche or such other reliable means of recreating original
documents, including but not limited to, optical imagery techniques so long
as
the Servicer complies with the requirements of the Xxxxxx Xxx
Guide.
The
Servicer shall maintain with respect to each Mortgage Loan and shall make
available for inspection by any Owner or its designee the related Servicing
File
(or copies thereof) during the time the Owner retains ownership of a Mortgage
Loan and thereafter in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations.
Section
2.04. Transfer of Mortgage Loans.
No
transfer of a Mortgage Loan may be made unless such transfer is in compliance
with the terms hereof. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall
be
under no obligation to deal with any person with respect to this Agreement
or
any Mortgage Loan unless a notice of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan has
been
delivered to the Servicer in accordance with this Section 2.04. The
Owner may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, sell and transfer one or
more
of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Sections 10.02 and 11.12,
provided, however, that the transferee will not be deemed to be an Owner
hereunder binding upon the Servicer unless such transferee shall agree in
writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and an assignment and
assumption of this Agreement reasonably acceptable to the
Servicer. The Owner shall advise the Servicer in writing of the
transfer. Upon receipt of notice of the permitted transfer, the
Servicer shall xxxx its books and records to reflect the ownership of the
Mortgage Loans of such assignee, and shall release the previous Owner from
its
obligations hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans sold or
transferred.
Section
2.05. Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.
The
Servicer shall forward to the Custodian on behalf of the Owner original
documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension
of
any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with Section 4.01 or 6.01 within
4
week(s) of their execution; provided, however, that the Servicer shall provide
the Custodian on behalf of the Owner with a certified true copy of any such
document submitted for recordation within 4 week(s) after its execution, and
shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy
of a recorded document if the original is not
available. If delivery is not completed within 180 days solely due to
delays in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall
not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Servicer shall
continue to use its best efforts to effect delivery as soon as possible
thereafter.
From
time
to time the Servicer may have a need for Mortgage Loan Documents to be released
by the Custodian. If the Servicer shall require any of the Mortgage
Loan Documents, the Servicer shall notify the Custodian in writing of such
request in the form of the request for release attached hereto as Exhibit
D. The Custodian shall deliver to the Servicer within five (5)
Business Days, any requested Mortgage Loan Document previously delivered to
the
Custodian, provided that such documentation is promptly returned to the
Custodian when the Servicer no longer requires possession of the document,
and
provided that during the time that any such documentation is held by the
Servicer, such possession is in trust for the benefit of the Owner.

ARTICLE
IV
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section
4.01. Servicer to Act as Servicer.
The
Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing
Practices (giving due consideration to the Owner's reliance on the Servicer),
and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be
done
any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which
the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms
of
this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices and shall exercise the
same
care that it customarily employs for its own account. In addition,
the Servicer shall furnish information regarding the borrower credit files
related to such Mortgage Loan to credit reporting agencies in compliance with
the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the applicable implementing
regulations. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Servicer shall service
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices in compliance
with the servicing provisions of the Xxxxxx Xxx Guide, which include, but are
not limited to, provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the
collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other
charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the
maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, inspections,
the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policies, insurance claims, and title insurance, management of REO
Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation
reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property,
the
transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Loan Documents, annual
statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event
of any conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing
provisions of this Agreement and any of the servicing provisions of the Xxxxxx
Mae Guide, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and be binding upon
the Owner and the Servicer. The Owner may, at its option, deliver
powers-of-attorney to the Servicer sufficient to allow the Servicer as servicer
to execute all documentation requiring execution on behalf of Owner with respect
to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, including satisfactions, partial
releases, modifications and foreclosure documentation or, in the alternative,
shall as promptly as reasonably possible, execute and return such documentation
to the Servicer.
Consistent
with and in addition to the terms set forth in this Agreement, if a Mortgage
Loan is in default or such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer
may
waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the
postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor, including without limitation, to (1) capitalize
any
amounts owing on the Mortgage Loan by adding such amount to the outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (2) defer such amounts to a later date
or the final payment date of such Mortgage Loan, (3) extend the maturity of
any
such Mortgage Loan, (4) amend the related Mortgage Loan to reduce the related
Mortgage Interest Rate with respect to any Mortgage Loan, (5) convert the
Mortgage Interest Rate on any Mortgage Loan from a fixed rate to an adjustable
rate or vice versa, (6) with respect to a Mortgage Loan with an initial fixed
rate period followed by an adjustable rate period, extend the fixed period
and
reduce the adjustable rate period, and/or (7) forgive the amount of any
interest, principal or servicing advances owed by the related Mortgagor;
provided that, in the Servicer's reasonable and prudent determination, such
waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence: (A) is not materially adverse
to the interests of the Owner on a present value basis using reasonable
assumptions (including taking into account any estimated realized loss (as
defined in the related pooling and servicing agreement) that might result absent
such action); and (B) does not amend the related Mortgage Note to extend the
maturity thereof later than the date of the Latest Possible Maturity Date (as
such term is defined in the related pooling and servicing agreement); provided,
further, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not in default or if default
is not reasonably foreseeable, unless the Servicer has provided to the Owner
a
certification addressed to the Owner, based on the advice of counsel or
certified public accountants that have a national reputation with respect to
taxation of REMICs that a modification of such Mortgage Loan will not result
in
the imposition of taxes on or disqualify from REMIC status any of the REMICs
and
has obtained the prior written consent of the Owner, the Servicer shall not
permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage
Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any waiver, modification,
postponement or indulgence (not including any partial releases, assumptions
of
mortgages or modifications of any Mortgage Loan that is done in connection
with
compliance with the Relief Act) which the Servicer reasonably anticipates may
result in a realized loss of 20% or more of the outstanding principal balance
of
a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall present such proposed waiver, modification,
postponement or indulgence, together with any supporting documentation, to
the
Master Servicer for consideration and approval. The Servicer shall
submit all waivers, modifications or variances of the terms of any Mortgage
Loan
with respect to partial releases, assumptions of mortgages or for modifications
done in furtherance of compliance with the Relief Act, together with any
supporting documentation, to the Master Servicer for consideration and
approval.
In
connection with any such Servicing Modification, the Servicer may reimburse
itself from the Trust for any outstanding Monthly Advances and Servicing
Advances in the same calendar month as the Servicing Modification to the extent
that such Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances are reimbursable to the
Servicer and to the extent of the related principal portion of funds available
for the related Distribution Date (as defined in the related pooling and
servicing agreement). To the extent there are not sufficient principal funds
available on the related Distribution Date to reimburse the Servicer for such
Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances, the Servicer may reimburse itself
on a
first priority basis from related principal funds that are available on future
Distribution Dates. If any mortgagor’s obligation to repay any outstanding
amounts due under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan for which a Monthly
Advance or Servicing Advance has been made by the Servicer is forgiven, any
such
Monthly Advance or Servicing Advance will be treated as a realized loss which
will be incurred on the Distribution Date related to the calendar month during
which the Servicing Modification occurred.
In
the
event of any such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence which has
been agreed to in writing by the Owner and which permits the deferral of
interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on
the
Business Day immediately preceding the related Remittance Date in any month
in
which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in
the
Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04 and
Section 5.03, the difference between (a) such month's principal and one month's
interest at the related Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal
balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the
Mortgagor. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for
Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and
is
hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver, all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release,
discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties.
The
Servicer shall perform all of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may
cause a subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its
behalf, but the use by the Servicer of a subservicer shall not release the
Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and the Servicer shall remain
responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of each subservicer as fully
as
if such acts and omissions were those of the Servicer. Any such
subservicer must be a Xxxxxx Xxx approved seller/servicer or a Xxxxxxx Mac
seller/servicer in good standing and no event shall have occurred, including
but
not limited to, a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable
to
comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by Xxxxxx Xxx
or
for seller/servicers by Xxxxxxx Mac, or which would require notification to
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall pay all fees and
expenses of each subservicer from its own funds, and a subservicer's fee shall
not exceed the Servicing Fee.
At
the
cost and expense of the Servicer, without any right of reimbursement from the
Custodial Account, the Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and
responsibilities of a subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities
to be performed by a successor subservicer meeting the requirements in the
preceding paragraph, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall
be
deemed to prevent or prohibit the Servicer, at the Servicer's option, from
electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event
that the Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are
terminated pursuant to Section 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01, and if requested to do
so by
the Owner, the Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights
and responsibilities of each subservicer effective as of the date of termination
of the Servicer. The Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or
penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of
each subservicer from the Servicer's own funds without reimbursement from the
Owner.
Notwithstanding
any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements
between the Servicer and a subservicer or any reference herein to actions taken
through a subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall not be relieved of its
obligations to the Owner and shall be obligated to the same extent and under
the
same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the
Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an
agreement with a subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by the
subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit
or
modify such indemnification.
Any
subservicing agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the
Mortgage Loans involving a subservicer shall be deemed to be between such
subservicer and Servicer alone, and the Owner shall have no obligations, duties
or liabilities with respect to such Subservicer including no obligation, duty
or
liability of Owner to pay such subservicer's fees and expenses. For
purposes of distributions and advances by the Servicer pursuant to this
Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage
Loan when a subservicer has received such payment.
Section
4.02. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
Continuously
from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject
to
this Agreement, the Servicer will proceed with diligence to collect all payments
due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and
shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement
and
the terms and provisions of related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, follow
such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own
account. Further, the Servicer will take reasonable care in
ascertaining and estimating annual ground rents, taxes, assessments, water
rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums, and
all
other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable
to
the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient
to
pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.
The
Servicer shall not waive any Prepayment Charge unless: (i) the enforceability
thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally,
(ii) the enforcement thereof is illegal, or any local, state or federal agency
has threatened legal action if the prepayment penalty is enforced, (iii) the
mortgage debt has been accelerated in connection with a foreclosure or other
involuntary payment or (iv) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing
similar Mortgage Loans and relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable
default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery
of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and
the related Mortgage Loan.
Section
4.03. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The
Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the procedures that
the Servicer would use in servicing loans for its own account and the
requirements of the Xxxxxx Mae Guide, 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 pursuant to Section 4.01. In
determining the delinquency status of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will
apply
the definition of Delinquent as such term is defined under the related pooling
and servicing agreement. The Servicer shall use its reasonable
efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize
the receipt of principal and interest by the Owner, taking into account, among
other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is
subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall
have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own
funds
toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its
discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation
of the related Mortgage Loan to the Owner after reimbursement to itself for
such
expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer
through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged
Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. The Servicer shall be
responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings
or
functions as Servicing Advances; provided, however, that it shall be entitled
to
reimbursement therefor as provided in Section 4.05. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure
or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Servicer has
reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by
hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Owner otherwise requests
an
environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an
inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified
inspector. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall
promptly provide the Owner with a written report of the environmental
inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the
Owner shall determine how the Servicer shall proceed with respect to the
Mortgaged Property.
Section
4.04. Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in
Custodial Accounts.
The
Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant
to
each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general
assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial
Accounts. Each Custodial Account shall be established with a
Qualified Depository. To the extent such funds are not deposited in a
Custodial Account, such funds may be invested in Permitted Investments for
the
benefit of the Owner (with any income earned thereon for the benefit of the
Servicer). Custodial Accounts will be reconciled within 45 calendar
days after the bank statement cut-off date. Funds deposited in the
Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section
4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter
agreement in the form shown in Exhibit B hereto. The original
of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Owner upon request. The
Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer shall bear any losses
incurred with respect to Permitted Investments. The amount of any
such losses shall be immediately deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial
Account, out of the Servicer's own funds, with no right to reimbursement
therefor.
The
Servicer shall deposit in a mortgage clearing account on a daily basis, and
in
the Custodial Account or Accounts no later than 48 hours after receipt and
identification of funds and retain therein the following payments and
collections:
(i) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments (exclusive
of
Prepayment Charges) and penalties, on the Mortgage Loans received after the
Cut-off Date;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to the related
Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate received after the Cut-off Date;
(iii) all
Liquidation Proceeds received after the Cut-off Date;
(iv) any
net amounts received by the Servicer after the Cut-off Date in connection with
any REO Property pursuant to Section 4.13;
(v) all
Insurance Proceeds received after the Cut-off Date including amounts required
to
be deposited pursuant to Sections 4.08 and 4.10, other than proceeds to be
held
in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged
Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal
servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;
(vi) all
Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property received after the
Cut-off Date other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied
to
the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor
in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures, the loan
documents or applicable law;
(vii) any
Monthly Advances as provided in Section 5.03;
(viii) any
amounts received after the Cut-off Date and required to be deposited in the
Custodial Account pursuant to Section 6.02; and
(ix) with
respect to each full or partial Principal Prepayment received after the Cut-off
Date, any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, to the extent of the Servicer's
aggregate Servicing Fee received with respect to the related Due
Period.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive,
it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, Prepayment Charges
and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, and all Prepayment
Interest Excess need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial
Account.
Section
4.05. Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial
Account.
The
Servicer may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Custodial Account
for
the following purposes:
(i) to
make payments to the Owner in the amounts and in the manner provided for in
Section 5.01;
(ii) to
reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Servicer's right to reimburse itself
pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to (1) amounts received on the
related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related
Servicing Fees) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance

Held
For Future Distribution so applied to reimburse the Servicer shall be replaced by
the
Servicer by deposit in the
Custodial

business on the Remittance Date immediately preceding the Distribution Date
on
which such funds are required to be distributed pursuant to this Agreement
and
only to the extent there are not funds otherwise available in the Custodial
Account to make a required distribution on such Distribution
Date;
(iii) to
reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances,
the
Servicer's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with
respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to (1) Liquidation Proceeds,
Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received after the Cut-off Date
related to such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, the Servicer must provide
documentation to the Master Servicer supporting Servicing Advances related
to
Liquidation Proceeds prior to withdrawing such amounts from the Custodial
Account and (2) to the extent of
Amounts Held for Future Distributions; provided, however, any such Amounts
Held
For Future Distribution so applied to reimburse the Servicer shall be replaced by
the
Servicer by deposit in the
Custodial
Account, no later than the close of
business on the Remittance Date immediately preceding the Distribution Date
on
which such funds are required to be distributed pursuant to this Agreement
and
only to the extent there are not funds otherwise available in the Custodial
Account to make a required distribution
on such Distribution Date;
(iv) to
pay to itself as servicing compensation (a) any interest earned on funds in
the
Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than

the
extent of any principal funds for any loan group related to such Mortgage Loans
that are on deposit in the Custodial Account; and
(x) to
clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon the termination of this
Agreement.
Section
4.06. Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow
Accounts.
The
Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant
to
each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from
any
of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or
more
Escrow Accounts. Each Escrow Account shall be established with a
Qualified Depository. To the extent such funds are not deposited in
an Escrow Account, such funds may be invested in Permitted
Investments. Funds deposited in an Escrow Account may be drawn on by
the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account
shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C.
The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Owner upon
request. The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer shall
bear any losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments. The
amount of any such losses shall be immediately deposited by the Servicer in
the
Escrow Account, as appropriate, out of the Servicer's own funds, with no right
to reimbursement therefor.
The
Servicer shall deposit in a mortgage clearing account on a daily basis, and
in
the Escrow Account or Accounts no later than 48 hours after receipt of funds
and
retain therein:
(i) all
Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose
of
effecting timely payment of any items as are required under the terms of this
Agreement;
(ii) all
Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of
any
Mortgaged Property; and
(iii) all
Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient to
cover escrow disbursements.
The
Servicer shall make withdrawals from an Escrow Account only to effect such
payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes
as
shall be as set forth in and in accordance with Section 4.07. Except
as provided in Section 4.07, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain any
interest paid on funds deposited in an Escrow Account by the Qualified
Depository.
Section
4.07. Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.
Withdrawals
from the Escrow Account may be made by the Servicer only:
(i) to
effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, fire
and hazard insurance premiums, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums,
if
applicable, and comparable items;
(ii) to
reimburse Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by Servicer with respect
to a
related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage
Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments
thereunder;
(iii) to
refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be
overages;
(iv) for
transfer to the Custodial Account in connection with an acquisition of REO
Property;
(v) for
application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property;
(vi) to
pay to the Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any
interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account;
(vii) to
pay to the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in
accordance with Section 4.06;
(viii) to
remove funds inadvertently placed in an Escrow Account in error by the Servicer;
and
(ix) to
clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this
Agreement.
As
part
of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest
on
funds in an Escrow Account, to the extent required by law, and to the extent
that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall
pay
such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement
therefor.
Section
4.08. Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges, Maintenance
of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, Collections Thereunder.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records
reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and
other
charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the
status of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums and fire and hazard
insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the
payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment
thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time
appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose
deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated
and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as
allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the
extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer
shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor when
due. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment
of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills
irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same
or
the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds
to
effect such payments.
The
Servicer will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies issued by a Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for
which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be
maintained until the ratio of the current outstanding principal balance of
the
related Mortgage Loan to the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property,
based on the most recent appraisal of the Mortgaged Property performed by a
Qualified Appraiser, such appraisal to be included in the Servicing File, is
reduced to an amount for which Xxxxxx Xxx no longer requires such insurance
to
be maintained. The Servicer will not cancel or refuse to renew any
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is required to be kept in force under
this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such
canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified
Insurer. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in
noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any
loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer would have been covered
thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution
agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the
Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in
accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may
be
required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under
the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution
of
liability, the Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy as provided above.
In
connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare
and
present, on behalf of itself and the Owner, claims to the insurer under any
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the
terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take
such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to
Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.
Section
4.09. Transfer of Accounts.
The
Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different
Qualified Depository from time to time. The Servicer shall notify the
Owner of any such transfer within 15 Business Days of transfer. If any one
of
the investment ratings of a Qualified Depository holding funds or Eligible
Investments in the Custodial Account or Escrow Account is downgraded by the
issuing rating agency, the Servicer shall, within three (3) Business Days of
receipt of notice of the downgrading, transfer all such accounts, funds and
Permitted Investments to a different Qualified Depository in accordance with
this Agreement.
Section
4.10. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
The
Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard
insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged
Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum
insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the
greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and
(b)
the percentage such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent
the
Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the
Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as being a special flood hazard area that
has federally-mandated flood insurance requirements, the Servicer will cause
to
be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current
guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable
insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least
of
(i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum
insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the
maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Servicer shall also maintain
on the REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an
amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the
improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance and, to
the
extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973,
as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any
amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies other than amounts
to
be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair
of
the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited
in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
4.05. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance
need be required by the Servicer or the Mortgagor or maintained on property
acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans, other than pursuant to the Xxxxxx
Mae
Guide or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall at
any
time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All
such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss
payable to the Servicer and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide
for
at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in
the
amount or material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer
shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either
his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall
not
accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such
companies currently reflect a General Policy Rating in Best's Key Rating Guide
currently acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx and are licensed to do business in the state
wherein the property subject to the policy is located.

Section
4.11
|
Maintenance
of Mortgage Impairment Insurance
Policy.
|
In
the
event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a mortgage impairment or
blanket policy issued by an issuer that has a Best rating of A:VI insuring
against hazard losses on all of Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage
Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal
to
the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all
other requirements of Section 4.10, the Servicer shall conclusively be deemed
to
have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10, it being understood
and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case
the
Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the
related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section
4.10,
and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered
by
such policy, deposit in the Custodial 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 prepare
and present, on behalf of the Owner, claims under any such blanket policy in
a
timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of
the
Owner, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Owner a certified true
copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy
shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30)
days
prior written notice to the Owner.
Section
4.12. Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions
Insurance.
The
Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an
errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible
companies that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac on
all
officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to
the
Mortgage Loans and who handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to
the
Mortgage Loans. The Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance
shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect
and
insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement,
fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such
Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall also protect and insure
the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any
insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or
satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of
the
indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12
requiring the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish
or
relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this
Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such Fidelity Bond and
insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required
by Xxxxxx Mae in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guide or by Xxxxxxx Mac in the Xxxxxxx Mac
Guide. The Servicer shall, upon request of Owner, deliver to the
Owner a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of
the
Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a
statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance
policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty
days prior written notice to the Owner. The Servicer shall notify the
Owner within five Business Days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond
or
insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or
terminated. The Owner and its successors or assigns as their
interests may appear must be named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and
as
additional insured on the errors and omissions policy.
Section
4.13. Title, Management and Disposition of REO
Property.
In
the
event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by
deed
in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the
name of the Owner or its designee. Any such Person or Persons holding
such title other than the Owner shall acknowledge in writing that such title
is
being held as nominee for the benefit of the Owner.
The
Servicer shall assume the responsibility for marketing each REO Property in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Servicer shall
continue to provide certain administrative services to the Owner relating to
such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13. The REO Property must
be
sold within three years following the end of the calendar year of the date
of
acquisition, unless a REMIC election has been made with respect to the
arrangement under which the Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held and (i)
the
Owner shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel (at the Servicer's
expense) to the effect that the holding by the related trust of such Mortgaged
Property subsequent to such three-year period (and specifying the period beyond
such three-year period for which the Mortgaged Property may be held) will not
result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the related
trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the related REMIC to
fail
to qualify as a REMIC, in which case the related trust may continue to hold
such
Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of
Counsel), or (ii) the Owner (at the Servicer's expense) or the Servicer shall
have applied for, prior to the expiration of such three-year period, an
extension of such three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section
856(e)(3) of the Code, in which case the three-year period shall be extended
by
the applicable period. If a period longer than three years is
permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO
Property, the Servicer shall report monthly to the Owner as to progress being
made in selling such REO Property.
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if a REMIC election has been made, no
Mortgaged Property held by a REMIC shall be rented (or allowed to continue
to be
rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the
related trust or sold or managed in such a manner or pursuant to any terms
that
would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify at any time as
"foreclosure property" within a meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code,
(ii)
subject the related trust to the imposition of any federal or state income
taxes
on "net income from foreclosure property" with respect to such Mortgaged
Property within the meaning of Section 860G(c) of the Code, or (iii) cause
the
sale of such Mortgaged Property to result in the receipt by the related trust
or
any income from non-permitted assets as described in Section 860F(a) (2)(B)
of
the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the
related trust with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
The
Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in each
Custodial Account all revenues received with respect to the related REO Property
and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation,
management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the cost of
maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof. The
Servicer shall maintain separate records with respect to each REO Property
identifying all deposits and withdrawals from the Custodial Account for each
REO
Property.
The
Servicer shall furnish to the Owner on each Remittance Date, an operating
statement for each REO Property covering the operation of each REO Property
for
the previous month. Such operating statement shall be accompanied by
such other information as the Owner shall reasonably request.
The
Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer,
and
in accordance with the Xxxxxx Mae Guide, manage, conserve, protect and operate
each REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and
operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner
that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed.
Each
REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon
such
terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the
Owner. The REO Disposition Proceeds from the sale of the REO Property
shall be promptly deposited in the Custodial Account. As soon as
practical thereafter, the expenses of such sale shall be paid and the Servicer
shall be entitled to reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing
Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees or Monthly Advances made. Such
reimbursement will be subject to Master Servicer approval of claims submitted
within 90 days of liquidation (such approval will be rendered within 30 days
of
the Master Servicer’s receipt of the complete claim of loss notification
package), and on the Remittance Date immediately following the Principal
Prepayment Period in which such sale proceeds are received the proceeds of
such
sale deposited in the Custodial Account shall be distributed to the
Purchaser.
The
Servicer shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the
acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected
at least monthly thereafter or more frequently as may be required by the
circumstances. The Servicer shall make or cause the inspector to make a written
report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the
Servicing File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the
Owner.
Section
4.14. Notification of Adjustments.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage Interest
Rate on the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date in compliance with
requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and Mortgage
Note. The Servicer shall execute and deliver any and all necessary
notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage
Note
and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments. The
Servicer shall promptly, upon written request therefor, deliver to the Owner
such notifications and any additional applicable data regarding such adjustments
and the methods used to calculate and implement such
adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Servicer or the receipt of
notice from the Owner that the Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest
Rate in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage,
the
Servicer shall immediately deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds
the amount of any interest loss or deferral caused to the Owner
thereby.

PAYMENTS
TO THE OWNER
Section
5.01. Remittances.
On
each
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Owner (i) all amounts credited
to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the last day of the
calendar month preceding the Determination Date, net of charges against or
withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05, except (a)
Full
Principal Prepayments received on or before the 15th day of the month in which
a
Remittance Date occurs shall be remitted to the Owner on the Remittance Date
of
such month, and (b) Full Principal Prepayments received after the 15th day
of
the month in which a Remittance Date occurs shall be remitted to the Owner
on
the next following Remittance Date, plus, to the extent not already deposited
in
the Custodial Account, the sum of (ii) all Monthly Advances, if any, which
the
Servicer is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03 and (iii) all
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls the Servicer is required to make up pursuant
to
Section 4.04, minus (iv) any amounts attributable to Monthly Payments collected
after the Cut-off Date but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the last
day
of the related Due Period, which amounts shall be remitted on the related
Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for such amounts.
With
respect to any remittance received by the Owner after the Business Day on which
such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to the Owner interest on any such
late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the
date
of each change, plus two percentage points, but in no event greater than the
maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be
remitted to the Owner by the Servicer on the date such late payment is made
and
shall cover the period commencing with the day following such Business Day
and
ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both
inclusive. The payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall not
be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default
by the Servicer.
Section
5.02 Statements to the Owner and the Master
Servicer.
The
Servicer shall furnish to the Owner and the Master Servicer an individual
Mortgage Loan accounting report (a ”Report”), as of the last Business Day of
each month and the end of the related Prepayment Period, as applicable, in
the
Servicer's assigned loan number order to document Mortgage Loan payment activity
on an individual Mortgage Loan basis. With respect to each month,
such Report shall be received by the Owner and the Master Servicer no later
than
the fifth Business Day of the month of the related Remittance Date (or, with
respect to information as to Full Principal Prepayments and prepayment penalties
no later than one (1) Business Day after the end of each Prepayment Period),
a
report in an Excel (or compatible) electronic format, in such format as may
be
mutually agreed upon by both the Owner and the Servicer, and which shall provide
the information required to be contained in the monthly statements to
certificateholders as specified in the related pooling and servicing agreement,
to the extent applicable to the Servicer.
In
addition, the Servicer shall provide to the Master Servicer and the Owner such
other information known or available to the Servicer that is necessary in order
to provide the distribution and pool performance information as required under
Regulation AB, as amended from time to time, as determined by the Owner in
its
sole discretion. The Servicer shall also provide a monthly report, in
the form of Exhibit E and Exhibit F hereto, or such other form as
is mutually acceptable to the Servicer, the Owner and the Master Servicer,
Exhibit K and Exhibit L with respect to defaulted mortgage loans,
Exhibit M with respect to realized losses and gains, Exhibit N
with respect to modified mortgage loans, Exhibit O with respect to claims
submitted and Exhibit P with respect to loss severity, with each such
report.
The
Servicer shall prepare and file any and all information statements or other
filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to
Owner or the Master Servicer pursuant to any applicable law with respect to
the
Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition,
the Servicer shall provide the Owner and the Master Servicer with such
information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for the Owner and
the
Master Servicer to prepare its federal income tax return as Owner and the Master
Servicer may reasonably request from time to time.
In
addition, not more than 60 days after the end of each calendar year, the
Servicer shall furnish to each Person who was an Owner and the Master Servicer
at any time during such calendar year an annual statement in accordance with
the
requirements of applicable federal income tax law as to the aggregate of
remittances of principal and interest for the applicable portion of such
year.
Section
5.03. Monthly Advances by the Servicer.
Not
later
than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date,
the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all
payments not previously advanced by the Servicer, whether or not deferred
pursuant to Section 4.01, of Monthly Payments, adjusted to the related Mortgage
Loan Remittance Rate, which are delinquent at the close of business on the
related Determination Date; provided, however, that the amount of any such
deposit may be reduced by the Amounts Held for Future Distribution (as defined
below) then on deposit in the Custodial Account. Any portion of the
Amounts Held for Future Distribution used to pay Monthly Advances shall be
replaced by the Servicer by deposit into the Custodial Account on any future
Remittance Date to the extent that the funds that are available in the Custodial
Account for remittance to the Owner on such Remittance Date are less than the
amount of payments required to be made to the Owner on such Remittance
Date.
The
Servicer's obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan
will
continue through the final disposition or liquidation of the Mortgaged Property,
unless the Servicer deems such advance to be nonrecoverable from Liquidation
Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with respect to the
applicable Mortgage Loan. In such latter event, the Servicer shall
deliver to the Owner an Officer's Certificate of the Servicer to the effect
that
an officer of the Servicer has reviewed the related Servicing File and has
obtained a recent appraisal and has made the reasonable determination that
any
additional advances are nonrecoverable from Liquidation or Insurance Proceeds
with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan.
Section
5.04. Liquidation Reports.
Upon
the
foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the
Owner pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall submit
to the Owner a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property in
such form as the Servicer and the Owner shall agree. The Servicer
shall also provide reports on the status of REO Property containing such
information as Owner may reasonably require.

GENERAL
SERVICING PROCEDURES
Section
6.01. Assumption Agreements.
The
Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective
conveyance by any Mortgagor of a Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute
conveyance or by contract of, sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains
or
is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise
its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale"
clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Servicer
shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the
Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair
or
threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy, if any. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable
under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Servicer, will
enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged
Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which
such
person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted
by
applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Where an
assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Servicer, with the
prior consent of the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter
into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged
Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which
the
original mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted
as
mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any
such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption
agreement.
In
connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer
shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Xxxxxx Xxx
Guide. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability,
the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note and the amount
of
the Monthly Payment may not be changed. The Servicer shall notify the
Owner that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been
completed by forwarding to the Owner the original of any such substitution
of
liability or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related
Mortgage Loan Documents and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of
such related mortgage file to the same extent as all other documents and
instruments constituting a part thereof. All fees collected by the
Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement
shall belong to the Servicer.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraphs of this section or any other provision of this
Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any
other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of
a
Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may
be
restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For
purposes of this Section 6.01, the term "assumption" is deemed to also include
a
sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied
by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.
Section
6.02. Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Loan
Documents.
Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will immediately notify
the
Custodian with a certification and request for release by a Servicing Officer,
which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts
received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited
in
the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been so deposited, and
a
request for delivery to the Servicer of the portion of the Mortgage Loan
Documents held by the Custodian. Upon receipt of such certification
and request, the Owner shall promptly release or cause the Custodian to promptly
release the related Mortgage Loan Documents to the Servicer and the Servicer
shall prepare and deliver for execution by the Owner or at the Owner's option
execute under the authority of a power of attorney delivered to the Servicer
by
the Owner any satisfaction or release. No expense incurred in
connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall
be
chargeable to the Custodial Account.
In
the
event the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained
payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it
otherwise prejudice any right the Owner may have under the mortgage instruments,
the Servicer, upon written demand, shall remit within one Business Day to the
Owner the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by
deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall maintain
the Fidelity Bond insuring the Servicer against any loss it may sustain with
respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures
set
forth herein.
From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage
Loans, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Custodian
of
a servicing receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, the Custodian shall release
the portion of the Mortgage Loan Documents held by the Custodian to the
Servicer. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Servicer to promptly return
the related Mortgage Loan Documents to the Custodian, when the need therefor
by
the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated
and
the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited
in
the Custodial Account or such documents 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 either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer
has
promptly delivered to the Owner or the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing
Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such
documents were delivered and the purpose or purposes of such
delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer
stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall
be
released by the Owner or the Custodian, as applicable, to the
Servicer.
Section
6.03. Servicing Compensation.
As
compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to
withdraw from the Custodial Account or to retain from interest payments on
the
Mortgage Loans the amounts provided for as the Servicer's Servicing
Fee. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption
fees, as provided in Section 6.01, late payment charges and other ancillary
fees
shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited
in
the Custodial Account. The Servicer shall be required to pay all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder
and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically
provided for.
Section
6.04. Annual Statement as to Compliance; Annual
Certification.
(a) The
Servicer will deliver to the Owner and the Master Servicer, not later than
March
15th of each calendar year beginning in 2008, an Officer’s Certificate (an
“Annual Statement of Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that
(i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar
year and of performance under this Agreement or other applicable servicing
agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of
such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all
of its obligations under this Agreement or other applicable servicing agreement
in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a failure
to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such
failure known to such officer and the nature and status of cure provisions
thereof. Such Annual Statement of Compliance shall contain no
restrictions or limitations on its use. Copies of such statement
shall be provided by the Servicer to the Owner upon request and by the Owner
to
any Person identified as a prospective purchaser of the Mortgage
Loans. In the event that the Servicer has delegated any servicing
responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans to a Subservicer, the
Servicer shall deliver an Annual Statement of Compliance of the Subservicer
as
described above as to each Subservicer as and when required with respect to
the
Servicer.
(b) With
respect to the Mortgage Loans, by March 15th of each calendar year beginning
in
2008, an officer of the Servicer shall execute and deliver an Officer’s
Certificate (an “Annual Certification”) to the Owner, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, and any related Depositor for the benefit of each such entity and
such
entity’s affiliates and the officers, directors and agents of any such entity
and such entity’s affiliates, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
G. In the event that the Servicer has delegated any servicing
responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans to a Subservicer or a
Subcontractor, to the extent such Subcontractor is “participating in the
servicing function” pursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall
deliver an Annual Certification as to each such Subservicer and Subcontractor,
as and when required with respect to the Servicer.
In
the
event the Servicer or any Subservicer or Subcontractor engaged by it is
terminated, assigns its rights and obligations under, or resigns pursuant to
the
terms of this Agreement, or any other applicable agreement in the case of a
Subservicer or Subcontractor, as the case may be, such party shall provide
an
Annual Statement of Compliance pursuant to this Section 6.04 or to the related
section of such other applicable agreement, as the case may be, as to the
performance of its obligations with respect to the period of time it was subject
to this Agreement or any other applicable agreement, as the case may be,
notwithstanding any such termination, assignment or resignation.
The
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer and its 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 Servicer or any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its
obligations under this Section 6.04 or Section 6.09 or the negligence, bad
faith
or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection therewith. If the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless the Master Servicer, then the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities of the Master Servicer in such proportion as
is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Master Servicer on the one
hand
and the Servicer on the other in connection with a breach of the Servicer’s
obligations under this Section 6.04 or Section 6.09 or the Servicer’s
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith.
Upon
request by the Owner or the Master Servicer, the Servicer will deliver to such
requesting party a copy of the audited (if such financial statements are
available, otherwise unaudited) financial statements of the Servicer for the
most recent fiscal year of the Servicer.
Section
6.05. [Reserved]
Section
6.06. Owner's Right to Examine Servicer Records.
The
Owner
shall have the right to examine and audit, at its expense, upon reasonable
notice to the Servicer, during business hours or at such other times as might
be
reasonable under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records,
documentation or other information of the Servicer, or held by another for
the
Servicer or on its behalf or otherwise, which relate to the performance or
observance by the Servicer of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Agreement.
The
Servicer shall provide to the Owner and any supervisory agents or examiners
representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over
the
Owner access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession
of the Servicer which may be required by any applicable
regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon
reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the
Servicer, and in accordance with the applicable federal or state government
regulations.
Section
6.07. Compliance with REMIC
Provisions.
If
a
REMIC election has been made with respect to the arrangement under which the
Mortgage Loans and REO Property are held, the Servicer shall not take any
action, cause the REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause
to
be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken,
as
the case may be could (i) endanger the status of the REMIC as a REMIC or (ii)
result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including but not limited
to
the tax on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the
Code and the tax on "contribution" to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d)
of
the Code unless the Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense
of the party seeking to take such actions) to the effect that the contemplated
action will not endanger such REMIC status or result in the imposition of any
such tax.
Section
6.08. Non-solicitation.
The
Servicer shall not knowingly conduct any solicitation exclusively targeted
to
the Mortgagors for the purpose of inducing or encouraging the early prepayment
or refinancing of the related Mortgage Loans. It is understood and
agreed that promotions undertaken by the Servicer or any agent or affiliate
of
the Servicer which are directed to the general public at large, including,
without limitation, mass mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists,
newspaper, radio and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation
under this section. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit the
Servicer from (i) distributing to Mortgagors any general advertising including
information brochures, coupon books, or other similar documentation which
indicates services the Servicer offers, including refinances or (ii) providing
financing of home equity loans to Mortgagors at the Mortgagor's
request.
Section
6.09. Assessment of Compliance with Servicing
Criteria.
On
and
after January 1, 2007, the Servicer shall service and administer, and shall
cause each subservicer to service or administer, the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with all applicable requirements of the Servicing
Criteria.
With
respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner or its
designee, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, and any Depositor on or before
March
15th of each calendar year beginning in 2008, a report (an “Assessment of
Compliance”) regarding the Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the
Servicing Criteria during the preceding calendar year as required by Rules

following:
(a) A
statement by such officer of its responsibility for assessing compliance with
the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer;
(b) A
statement by such officer that such officer used the Servicing Criteria to
assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the
Servicer;
(c) An
assessment by such officer of the Servicer’s compliance with the applicable
Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year,
including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance with respect
thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based on the activities
it
performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole
involving the Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage
Loans;
(d) A
statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation
report on the Servicer’s Assessment of Compliance for the period consisting of
the preceding calendar year; and
(e) A
statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable
to
the Servicer, which statement shall be based on the activities it performs
with
respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving
the
Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage
Loans.
Such
report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified
on
Exhibit J hereto.
With
respect to the Mortgage Loans, on or before March 15th of each calendar year
beginning in 2008, the Servicer shall furnish to the Owner or its designee,
the
Master Servicer, the Trustee and any Depositor a report (an “Attestation
Report”) by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on,
the Assessment of Compliance made by the Servicer, as required by Rules 13a-18
and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB, or as
otherwise required by the Master Servicer, which Attestation Report must be
made
in accordance with standards for attestation reports issued or adopted by the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
The
Servicer shall cause each Subservicer, and each Subcontractor determined by
the
Servicer pursuant to Section 11.15 to be “participating in the servicing
function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the
Owner, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any Depositor an assessment of
compliance and accountants’ attestation as and when provided in Section
6.09.
In
the event the Servicer or any
Subservicer or Subcontractor engaged by it is terminated, assigns its rights
and
obligations under, or resigns pursuant to, the terms of this Agreement, or
any
other applicable agreement in the case of a Subservicer or Subcontractor, as
the
case may be, such party shall provide an Assessment of Compliance and cause
to
be provided an Attestation Report pursuant to this Section 6.09 or to the
related section of such other applicable agreement, as the case may be,
notwithstanding any such termination, assignment or
resignation.
Section
6.10. Intent of the Parties;
Reasonableness.
The
Owner
and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that a purpose of clause (g) of Article
III, Sections 5.02, 6.04, 6.09 and 10.02 of this Agreement is to facilitate
compliance by the Owner and any Depositor with the provisions of Regulation
AB
and related rules and regulations of the Commission. None of the Owner, the
Master Servicer or any Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of
information or other performance under these provisions other than in good
faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The
Servicer acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation
AB
may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the
Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed
securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with
requests made by the Owner or any Depositor in good faith for delivery of
information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations
of
Regulation AB. In connection with any Pass-Through Transfer, the Servicer shall
cooperate fully with the Owner to deliver to the Owner (including any of its
assignees or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports,
certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith
determination of the Owner or any Depositor to permit the Owner or such
Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such
disclosures relating to the Servicer, any Subservicer and the Mortgage Loans,
or
the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Owner or any
Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

REPORTS
TO BE PREPARED BY SERVICER
Section
7.01. Servicer Shall Provide Information as Reasonably
Required.
The
Servicer shall furnish to the Owner upon request, during the term of this
Agreement, such periodic, special or other reports or information, whether
or
not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable or appropriate with
respect to the purposes of this Agreement. The Servicer may negotiate
with the Owner for a reasonable fee for providing such report or information,
unless (i) the Servicer is required to supply such report or information
pursuant to any other section of this Agreement, or (ii) the report or
information has been requested in connection with Internal Revenue Service
or
other regulatory agency requirements. All such reports or information
shall be provided by and in accordance with all reasonable instructions and
directions given by the Owner. The Servicer agrees to execute and deliver all
such instruments and take all such action as the Owner, from time to time,
may
reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the
terms
of this Agreement.
ARTICLE
VIII
THE
SERVICER
Section
8.01. Indemnification; Third Party Claims.
The
Servicer agrees to indemnify the Owner, its successors and assigns, any agent
of
the Owner, and the Master Servicer, and hold each of such Persons harmless
from
and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses
that such Person may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer
to perform in any way its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in strict
compliance with the terms of this Agreement and for breach of any representation
or warranty of the Servicer contained herein. The Servicer shall
immediately notify the Owner or other indemnified Person if a claim is made
by a
third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with
the consent of the Owner and such other Indemnified Person and with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Owner and such Person) the defense of any such
claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees,
and
promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered
against it or such other indemnified Person in respect of such claim but failure
to so notify the Owner and such other indemnified Person shall not limit its
obligations hereunder. The Servicer agrees that it will not enter
into any settlement of any such claim without the consent of the Owner and
such
other indemnified Person unless such settlement includes an unconditional
release of the Owner and such other indemnified Person from all liability that
is the subject matter of such claim. The provisions of this Section
8.01 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Section
8.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Servicer.
The
Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a
corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted
herein, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a
foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or
shall
be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or
any
of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this
Agreement.
Any
Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer
shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer
whether or not related to loan servicing, shall be the successor of the Servicer
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person
shall
be an institution (i) having a GAAP net worth of not less than $25,000,000,
(ii)
the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC, or which is a HUD-approved
mortgagee whose primary business is in origination and servicing of first lien
mortgage loans, and (iii) which is a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac approved
seller/servicer in good standing.
Section
8.03. Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and
Others.
Neither
the Servicer nor any of the officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall
be under any liability to the Owner 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 made in good faith; provided, however, that this provision shall
not
protect the Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties or
representations made herein, or failure to perform in any way its obligations
in
compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of gross negligence or
any
breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Servicer
and any officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on
any
document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by the Owner
respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer shall not be
under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which
is
not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or
liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may, with the consent of the
Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, undertake any such
action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement
and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the
reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Owner will
be
liable, and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the
Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05.
Section
8.04. Servicer Not to Resign.
The
Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on
it
except by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Owner or upon the determination
that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and
such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced
by
an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Owner which Opinion of
Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Owner. No
such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed
the
Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided
in
Section 11.01.
Section
8.05. No Transfer of Servicing.
With
respect to the retention of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans
hereunder, the Servicer acknowledges that the Owner has acted in reliance upon
the Servicer's independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities,
plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial
standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the
generality of this section, the Servicer shall not either assign this Agreement
or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any
portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of
its
property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Owner, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that the Servicer may
assign the Agreement and the servicing hereunder without the consent of Owner
to
an affiliate of the Servicer to which all servicing of the Servicer is assigned
so long as (i) such affiliate is a Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac approved servicer
and (ii) if it is intended that such affiliate be spun off to the shareholders
of the Servicer, such affiliate have a GAAP net worth of at least $25,000,000
and (iii) such affiliate shall deliver to the Owner a certification pursuant
to
which such affiliate shall agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of
this
Agreement and shall certify that such affiliate is a Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx
Mac
approved servicer in good standing.

DEFAULT
Section
9.01. Events of Default.
In
case
one or more of the following Events of Default by the Servicer shall occur
and
be continuing, that is to say:
(i) any
failure by the Servicer to remit to the Owner any payment required to be made
under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for one (1)
Business Day after written notice thereof (it being understood that this
subparagraph shall not affect Servicer's obligation pursuant to Section 5.01
to
pay default interest on any remittance received by the Owner after the Business
Day on which such payment was due); or
(ii) any
failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material
respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer
set
forth in this Agreement (other than those described in clause (ix) hereof),
the
breach of which has a material adverse effect and which continue unremedied
for
a period of thirty days (except that such number of days shall be fifteen in
the
case of a failure to pay any premium for any insurance policy required to be
maintained under this Agreement and such failure shall be deemed to have a
material adverse effect) after the date on which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by
the
Owner; or
(iii) a
decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having
jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator
in
any insolvency, bankruptcy, 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 sixty
days; or
(iv) the
Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshaling
of
assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer
or
of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(v) the
Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as
they
become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency
or
reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors,
or
voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(vi) the
Servicer ceases to be approved by either Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac (to the
extent such entities are then operating in a capacity similar to that in which
they operate on the date hereof) as a mortgage loan servicer for more than
thirty days to the extent such entities perform similar functions;
or
(vii) the
Servicer attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or
the
Servicer attempts, without the consent of the Owner, to sell or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets or to assign
this
Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties
hereunder or any portion thereof except as otherwise permitted herein;
or
(viii) the
Servicer ceases to be qualified to transact business in any jurisdiction where
it is currently so qualified, but only to the extent such non-qualification
materially and adversely affects the Servicer's ability to perform its
obligations hereunder; or
(ix) failure
by the Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its
obligations under Section 6.04, 6.09 or any of clauses (v) through (viii) of
Section 10.02;
then,
and
in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have
been
remedied, the Owner, by notice in writing to the Servicer may, in addition
to
whatever rights the Owner may have under Section 8.01 and at law or equity
to
damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all
the
rights and obligations of the Servicer (and if the Servicer is servicing any
of
the Mortgage Loans in a Pass-Through Transfer, appoint a successor servicer
reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer for such Pass-Through Transfer)
under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof
without compensating the Servicer for the same. On or after the
receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of
the
Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or
otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant
to
Section 11.01. Upon written request from the Owner, the Servicer
shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments,
place in such successor's possession all Servicing Files, and do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of
such
notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or
assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the
Servicer's sole expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the
Owner and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer's
responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which
shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow
Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO
Property.
The
Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Owner (or any designee of the Owner,
such
as a master servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable
expenses incurred by the Owner (or such designee) or such Depositor, as such
are
incurred, in connection with the termination of the Servicer as servicer and
the
transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer, if the
termination and/or transfer of servicing is for cause related to a servicer
default. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever rights the
Owner or any Depositor may have under other provisions of this Agreement and/or
any applicable Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or
at
law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive
relief.
Section
9.02. Waiver of Defaults.
The
Owner
may waive only by written notice any default by the Servicer in the performance
of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such
waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event

may
be, and any other participants in such Reconstitution:

reasonably available to the Servicer, whether through letters of its auditors
and counsel or otherwise, as the Owner or any such other participant shall
request upon reasonable demand;

additional representations, warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters
from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of the Servicer
as are reasonably agreed upon by the Servicer and the Owner or any such other
participant;

Pass-Through Transfer, (C) any Event of Default under the terms of this
Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement, (D) any merger,

the
following parties participating in a Pass-Through Transfer: each issuing entity;
each Person (including, but not limited to, the Master Servicer, if applicable)
responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required

the Exchange Act with respect to such Pass-Through Transfer; each broker dealer
acting as underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser, each Person who

hold each of them harmless from and against any claims, losses, damages,

judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain
arising out of or based upon:
(i)(A)
any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained
in
any information, report, certification, data, accountants’ letter or other
material provided under this Section 10.02 by or on behalf of the Servicer,
or
provided under this Section 10.02, Sections 6.04 and 6.09 and by or on behalf
of
any Subservicer or Subcontractor (collectively, the “Servicer Information”), or
(B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Servicer Information a
material fact required to be stated in the Servicer Information or necessary
in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that
clause (B) of this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the
Servicer Information and not to any other information communicated in connection
with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether the Servicer
Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately
from
such other information;
(ii)
any
breach by the Servicer of its obligations under this Section 10.02, including

Regulation AB;
(iii)
any
breach by the Servicer of a representation or warranty set forth in Section

subsequent to such closing date; or
(iv)
the
negligence bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection with
its performance under this Section 10.02.
If
the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless an Indemnified Party, then the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of any
claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such
Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Servicer on the other.
In
the
case of any failure of performance described above, the Servicer shall promptly
reimburse the Owner, any Depositor, as applicable, and each Person responsible
for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed

Subservicer or any Subcontractor.

termination of any party to this Agreement.

Pass
Through Transfer shall be subject to this Agreement and shall continue to be
serviced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and with respect thereto
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

to
ensure that the Servicer services the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer, acting on behalf
of the Owner, shall have the same rights as the Owner to enforce the obligations
of the Servicer under this Agreement. The Master Servicer, or the
entity specified in the related pooling and servicing agreement, shall be
entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this
Agreement upon the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its obligations
under this Agreement if such failure constitutes an Event of Default as provided
in Article IX of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer assume any of the obligations
of
the Owner under this Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS
Section
11.01. Successor to the Servicer.
Prior
to
termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement
pursuant to Sections 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01(ii), the Owner shall (i) succeed to
and
assume all of the Servicer's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations
under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having the characteristics
set
forth in Section 8.02 hereof and which shall succeed to all rights and assume
all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this
Agreement prior to the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities, duties
and liabilities under this Agreement. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Owner may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as the Owner
and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Servicer's
duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be
terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the Servicer shall discharge
such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires
knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same
degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this
Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice
the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation
or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not
become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this section
and shall in no event relieve the Servicer of the representations and warranties
made pursuant to Article III and the remedies available to the Owner under
Section 8.01, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Article
III and Section 8.01 shall be applicable to the Servicer notwithstanding any
such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the termination of this
Agreement.
Any
successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to
the Servicer and to the Owner an instrument accepting such appointment,
whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers,
duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer, with
like
effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any
termination or resignation of the Servicer or this Agreement pursuant to Section
8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 shall not affect any claims that the Owner may have against
the Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation.
The
Servicer shall promptly deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial
Account and the Escrow Account and the Servicing Files and related documents
and
statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all
funds. The Servicer shall execute and deliver such instruments and do
such other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely
vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer. The
successor shall make such arrangements as it may deem appropriate to reimburse
the Servicer for unrecovered Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances which
the
successor retains hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered by
the
Servicer pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor
servicer.
Upon
a
successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Servicer shall notify the
Owner of such appointment.
All
reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with replacing the Servicer
upon its resignation or the termination of the Servicer in accordance with
the
terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs
and
expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation
of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an Event of Default
and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of
servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the
completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required
by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the
servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor service to service the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement, shall be payable on demand
by
the resigning or terminated Servicer without any right of reimbursement
therefor.
Section
11.02. Amendment.
This
Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Servicer and the Owner by
written agreement signed by the Servicer and the Owner.
Section
11.03. Recordation of Agreement.
To
the
extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation
in
all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties
or
other comparable jurisdictions in which any of all the properties subject to
the
Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office
or
elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Servicer at the Owner's
expense on direction of the Owner accompanied by an opinion of counsel to the
effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interest
of
the Owner or is necessary for the administration or servicing the Mortgage
Loans.

AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL

which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent
of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of

any
jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render

which
prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof. If
the invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this
Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be
conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in good faith, to
develop a structure the economic effect of which is nearly as possible the
same
as the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such
invalidity.

instrument of transfer in an Assignment and Assumption of this Agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto executed by the transferee

shall
not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, Company shall

as

specified in the prior Company's Officer's Certificate, stating a revised
date
for receipt of documentation. The procedure shall be repeated until the

best
efforts to effect delivery as soon as possible thereafter, provided that
if such
documents are not delivered by the 270th day from the date of the related

no way
alter or reduce the Company's obligations hereunder.

the
Purchaser or its designee discovers any defect with respect to a Mortgage
File,
the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee to, give written specification
of such defect to the Company which may be given in the exception report
or the

and the Company shall cure or repurchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance
with
Section 3.03.
The
Company shall forward to the Purchaser, or its designee, original documents
evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any
Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with Section 4.01 or 6.01 within

(m)
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the Servicing Fee represents reasonable
compensation for performing such services and that the entire Servicing Fee
shall be treated by the Company, for accounting and tax purposes, as
compensation for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant
to this Agreement. In the opinion of Company, the consideration received
by
Company upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser under this Agreement
and the related Term Sheet constitutes fair consideration for the Mortgage
Loans
under current market conditions.

Section
3.02 Representations
and Warranties as to Individual
Mortgage Loans.
References
in this Section to percentages of Mortgage Loans refer in each case to the
percentage of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
as of
the related Cut-off Date, based on the outstanding Stated Principal Balances
of
the Mortgage Loans as of the related Cut-off Date, and giving effect to
scheduled Monthly Payments due on or prior to the related Cut-off Date, whether
or not received. References to percentages of Mortgaged Properties refer,
in
each case, to the percentages of expected aggregate Stated Principal Balances
of
the related Mortgage Loans (determined as described in the preceding sentence).
The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as to each Mortgage
Loan, as of the related Closing Date as follows:
(a)
The
information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the related
Term
Sheet is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the related
Cut-Off Date;
(b) The
Mortgage creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien or a first
priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple in real property securing
the related Mortgage Note subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy,
insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of
creditors;
(c)
All
payments due prior to the related Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan have
been
made as of the related Closing Date; the Mortgage Loan has not been dishonored;
there are no material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan; the
Company
has not advanced its own funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received
any
advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property
subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount
required by the Mortgage Loan. As
of the
related Closing Date, all of the Mortgage Loans will have an actual Interest
Paid to Date of their related Cut-off Date(or later) and will be due for
the
scheduled monthly payment next succeeding the Cut-off Date (or later), as
evidenced by a posting to Company's servicing collection system. No payment
under any Mortgage Loan is delinquent as of the related Closing Date nor
has any
scheduled payment been delinquent at any time during the twelve (12) months
prior to the month of the related Closing Date. For purposes of this paragraph,
a Mortgage Loan will be deemed delinquent if any payment due thereunder was
not
paid by the Mortgagor in the month such payment was due;
(d)
There
are no defaults by Company in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and
all
taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal
charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and
owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount
sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which
has been assessed but is not yet due and payable;
(e)
The
terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived,
altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have
been recorded to the extent any such recordation is required by law, or,
necessary to protect the interest of the Purchaser. No instrument of waiver,
alteration or modification has been executed except in connection with a
modification agreement and which modification agreement is part of the Mortgage
File and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule,
and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof
except in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption agreement
is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the
related
Mortgage Loan Schedule; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or
modification has been approved by the issuer of any related Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy, Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and title insurance
policy, to the extent required by the related policies;
(f)
The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense
of
usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or
the
Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note
or
Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury,
and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been
asserted with respect thereto; and as of the related Closing Date the Mortgagor
was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding;
(g)
All
buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property
are insured by an insurer acceptable under the Xxxxxx Mae or FHLMC Guides,
against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards
as are
provided for in the Xxxxxx Xxx or FHLMC Guide, as well as all additional
requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. All such standard
hazard policies are in full force and effect and contain a standard mortgagee
clause naming the Company and its successors in interest and assigns as loss
payee and such clause is still in effect and all premiums due thereon have
been
paid. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended,
the
Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements
of
the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration which policy
conforms to Xxxxxx Mae or FHLMC requirements, as well as all additional
requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. Such policy was
issued
by an insurer acceptable under Xxxxxx Xxx or FHLMC guidelines. The Mortgage
obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the
Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so,
authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the
Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor.
Neither
the Company (nor any prior originator or servicer of any of the Mortgage
Loans)
nor any Mortgagor has engaged in any act or omission which has impaired or
would
impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided
for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either;
(h)
Any
and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without
limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer
credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable
to the
Mortgage Loan have been complied with in all material respects; the Company
maintains, and shall maintain, evidence of such compliance as required by
applicable law or regulation and shall make such evidence available for
inspection at the Company's office during normal business hours upon reasonable
advance notice;
(i)
The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated, in whole or in
part,
or rescinded, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien
of
the Mortgage, in whole or in part nor has any instrument been executed that
would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission.
The
Company has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if
the
Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be
in default, nor has the Company waived any default resulting from any action
or
inaction by the Mortgagor;
(j) The
Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on
the
Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and
all
installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning
systems affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and
replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing securing the
Mortgage Note's original principal balance subject to principles of equity,
bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the
rights of creditors. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any
evidence of any security interest or other interest or right thereto. Such
lien
is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority
over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only to (1) the lien of
non-delinquent current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and
payable, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements
and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording which
are
acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either (A) which
are
referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator
or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage
Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the residential use or Appraised
Value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, and (3) other
matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not individually
or in the aggregate materially interfere with the benefits of the security
intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement,
chattel
mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with
the
Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and
perfected first lien and first priority security interest on the property
described therein, and the Company has the full right to sell and assign
the
same to the Purchaser;
(k)
The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each
is the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in
all
respects in accordance with its terms subject to principles of equity,
bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the
rights of creditors, and the Company has taken all action necessary to transfer
such rights of enforceability to the Purchaser. All parties to the Mortgage
Note
and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and
to
execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The Mortgage Loan
Documents are on forms acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and FHLMC. The Mortgage Note
and
the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. No fraud,
error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with
respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of Company or the
Mortgagor, or on the part of any other party involved in the origination
or
servicing of the Mortgage Loan. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been
fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder,
and
any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site
improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been
complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing
the
Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor
is
not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage
Note or
Mortgage;
(l)
The
Company is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness
evidenced by the Mortgage Note. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the
Purchaser, the Company will retain the Mortgage File or any part thereof
with
respect thereto not delivered to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee in
trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of
the
Mortgage Loan. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the
Purchaser, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage,
were
not subject to an assignment, sale or pledge to any person other than Purchaser,
and the Company had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof
and had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser
free
and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security
interest and has the full right and authority subject to no interest or
participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign
the
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of the Mortgage
Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any
encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim
or
security interest. The Company intends to relinquish all rights to possess,
control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except for the purposes of servicing
the
Mortgage Loan as set forth in this Agreement. After the related Closing Date,
the Company will not have any right to modify or alter the terms of the sale
of
the Mortgage Loan and the Company will not have any obligation or right to
repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except
as
provided in this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to by the Company and
the
Purchaser;
(m)
Each
Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other
generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx
or
FHLMC (including adjustable rate endorsements), issued by a title insurer
acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or FHLMC and qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to
the
exceptions contained in (j)(1), (2) and (3) above) the Company, its successors
and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and against any loss by reason of the
invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions
of the
Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly
Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been
given
the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance.
The Company, its successors and assigns, is the sole insured of such lender's
title insurance policy, such title insurance policy has been duly and validly
endorsed to the Purchaser or the assignment to the Purchaser of the Company's
interest therein does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer
and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force and effect and
will be
in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance
policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including
the
Company, nor any Mortgagor, has done, by act or omission, anything which
would
impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;
(n)
There
is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under
the
Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage
of
time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would
constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration;
and
neither the Company, nor any prior mortgagee has waived any default, breach,
violation or event permitting acceleration;
(o)
There
are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work,
labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give
rise
to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may
be
liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage;
(p)
All
improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining
the
appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries
and
building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the
project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured
against by the title insurance policy referred to in clause (m) above and
all
improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision
laws and ordinances;
(q)
Each
Mortgage Loan was originated by or for the Company pursuant to, and conforms
with, the Company’s underwriting guidelines attached as Exhibit H hereto. The
Mortgage Loan bears interest at an adjustable rate (if applicable) as set
forth
in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and Monthly Payments under the Mortgage
Note are due and payable on the first day of each month. The Mortgage contains
the usual and enforceable provisions of the Company at the time of origination
for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the
Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior
consent of the mortgagee thereunder;
(r)
The
Mortgaged Property is not subject to any material damage. At origination
of the
Mortgage Loan there was not, since origination of the Mortgage Loan there
has
not been, and there currently is no proceeding pending for the total or partial
condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Company has not received
notification that any such proceedings are scheduled to commence at a future
date;
(s)
The
related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to
render
the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization
against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby,
including, (1) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by
trustee's sale, and (2) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead
or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with
the
right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to
foreclose the Mortgage;
(t)
If
the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly
qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has been properly
designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees
or
expenses, except as may be required by local law, are or will become payable
by
the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection
with
a trustee's sale or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(u)
The
Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed
prior to the final approval of the mortgage loan application by a Qualified
Appraiser, approved by the Company, who had no interest, direct or indirect,
in
the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose
compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage
Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Xxxxxx
Xxx or FHLMC and Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery, and
Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as
in
effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated. The appraisal is in
a form
acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or FHLMC;
(v)
All
parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee,
assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they
held
and disposed of such interest, were) (A) in compliance with any and all
applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged
Property is located, and (B) (1) organized under the laws of such state,
or (2)
qualified to do business in such state, or (3) federal savings and loan
associations or national banks or a Federal Home Loan Bank or savings bank
having principal offices in such state, or (4) not doing business in such
state;
(w)
The
related Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except
the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any
applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to above and such
collateral does not serve as security for any other obligation;
(x)
The
Mortgagor has received and has executed, where applicable, all disclosure
materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of such mortgage
loans;
(y)
The
Mortgage Loan does not contain balloon or "graduated payment" features; No
Mortgage Loan is subject to a buydown agreement or contains any buydown
provision;
(z)
The
Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy and, the Mortgagor is not insolvent and the
Company has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect
to the
Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit
standing that could reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the
Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become
delinquent, or materially adversely affect the value or marketability of
the
Mortgage Loan;
(aa)
Each
Mortgage Loan bears interest based upon a thirty (30) day month and a three
hundred and sixty (360) day year. The Mortgage Loans have an original term
to
maturity of not more than thirty (30) years, with interest payable in arrears
on
the first day of each month. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, on
each
applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted to
equal
the sum of the Index, plus the applicable Margin; provided, that the Mortgage
Interest Rate, on each applicable Adjustment Date, will not increase by more
than the Initial Rate Cap or Periodic Rate Cap, as applicable. Over the term
of
each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Interest Rate will not exceed
such Mortgage Loan's Lifetime Rate Cap. None of the Mortgage Loans are
“interest-only” Mortgage Loans or “negative amortization” Mortgage Loans. With
the respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, each Xxxx-xxxx Note requires
a monthly payment which is suffi-cient (a) during the period prior to the
first
adjust-ment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize the original
principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the
related Mortgage Interest Rate, and (b) during the period following each
Adjust-ment Date, to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as
of the
first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note
and
to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. With the respect to
each
adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note provides that when the Mortgage
Interest Rate changes on an Adjustment Date, the then outstanding principal
balance will be reamortized over the remaining life of the Mortgage Loan.
No
Mortgage Loan contains terms or provi-sions which would result in negative
amortization. None of the Mortgage Loans contain a conversion feature which
would cause the Mortgage Loan interest rate to convert to a fixed interest
rate.
None of the Mortgage Loans are considered agricultural loans;

(hh) Unless
set forth in the related Term Sheet, in the event the Mortgage Loan had an
LTV
at origination greater than 80.00%, either (i) the excess of the principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan over 75.0% of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged
Property with respect to a Refinanced Mortgage Loan, or the lesser of the
Appraised Value or the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property with respect
to
a purchase money Mortgage Loan was insured as to payment defaults by a Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer or (ii) the Mortgage
Loan was insured as to payment defaults by a Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV over 95%.
All
provisions of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy, as applicable, have been and are being complied with, such
policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have
been
paid. No Mortgage Loan requires payment of such premiums, in whole or in
part,
by the Purchaser. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state
of
facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or
defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy, subject to state and federal law, and to pay all premiums
and
charges in connection therewith. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Lender Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Company to maintain the Lender Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection
therewith. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, on or prior to
the
Closing Date which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial
of,
or defense to coverage under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (including, without limitation, any
exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability
of
the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder
to
the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions,
negligence, or fraud of the Company or the Mortgagor, or for any other reason
under such coverage; With respect to any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy,
the
mortgage interest rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium;
(ii) The
Assignment is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the
laws
of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;
(jj) Unless
otherwise specified in the related Term Sheet, none of the Mortgage Loans
are
secured by an interest in a leasehold estate. The Mortgaged Property is located
in the state identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists
of a
single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected
thereon, or a townhouse, or a two-to four-family dwelling, or an individual
condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned
unit development or a de minimis planned unit development, provided, however,
that no residence or dwelling is a single parcel of real property with a
manufactured home not affixed to a permanent foundation, or a mobile home.
Any
condominium unit or planned unit development conforms with the Company’s
underwriting guidelines. As
of the
date of origination, no portion of any Mortgaged Property is used for commercial
purposes, and since the Origination Date, no portion of any Mortgaged Property
has been, or currently is, used for commercial purposes;
(kk) Payments
on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after the funds
were
disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Note is payable
on
the first day of each month in monthly installments of principal and interest,
which installments are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage
Interest Rate on each Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable
in
arrears. Each of the Mortgage Loans will amortize fully by the stated maturity
date, over an original term of not more than thirty years from commencement
of
amortization;
(ll) As
of the
Closing Date of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Property was lawfully occupied
under applicable law, and all inspections, licenses and certificates required
to
be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged
Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including
but
not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates,
have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities;
(mm) There
is
no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property
in
which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue;
there is no violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect
to the Mortgaged Property; and the Company has not received any notice of
any
environmental hazard on the Mortgaged Property and nothing further remains
to be
done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation
constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property;
(nn) The
Mortgagor has not notified the Company, and the Company has no knowledge
of any
relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers' and Sailors'
Civil Relief Act of 1940;
(oo)
No
Mortgage Loan is a construction or rehabilitation Mortgage Loan or was made
to
facilitate the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property;
(pp) The
Mortgagor for each Mortgage Loan is a natural person;
(qq) None
of
the Mortgage Loans are Co-op Loans;
(rr)
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a prepayment penalty feature, each
such
prepayment penalty is enforceable and will be enforced by the Company and
each
prepayment penalty is permitted pursuant to federal, state and local law.
No
Mortgage Loan will impose a prepayment penalty for a term in excess of five
years from the date such Mortgage Loan was originated. Except as otherwise
set
forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that
contains a prepayment penalty, such prepayment penalty is at least equal
to the
lesser of (A) the maximum amount permitted under applicable law and (B) six
months interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate on the amount prepaid
in
excess of 20% of the original principal balance of such Mortgage
Loan;
(ss)
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan either (i) the fair market value of the Mortgaged
Property securing such Mortgage Loan was at least equal to 80 percent of
the
original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan at the time such Mortgage
Loan
was originated or (ii) (a) the Mortgage Loan is only secured by the Mortgage
Property and (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan
were
used to acquire or to improve or protect the Mortgage Property. For the purposes
of the preceding sentence, if the Mortgage Loan has been significantly modified
other than as a result of a default or a reasonable foreseeable default,
the
modified Mortgage Loan will be viewed as having been originated on the date
of
the modification;
(tt)
The
Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of
Housing
and Urban Development pursuant to sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing
Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit
union, insurance company or similar institution which is supervised and examined
by a federal or state authority;
(uu)
None
of the Mortgage Loans are simple interest Mortgage Loans and none of the
Mortgaged Properties are timeshares;
(vv)
All
of the terms of the Mortgage pertaining to interest rate adjustments, payment
adjustments and adjustments of the outstanding principal balance are
enforceable, all such adjustments have been properly made, including the
mailing
of required notices, and such adjustments do not and will not affect the
priority of the Mortgage lien. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which has
passed its initial Adjustment Date, Company has performed an audit of the
Mortgage Loan to determine whether all interest rate adjustments have been
made
in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage; and
(ww)
Each
Mortgage Note, each Mortgage, each Assignment and any other documents required
pursuant to this Agreement to be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee,
or
its assignee for each Mortgage Loan, have been, on or before the related
Closing
Date, delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, or its assignee.
Section
3.03 Repurchase;
Substitution.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery
of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Purchaser, or its designee, and shall
inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or
qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination,
or
lack of examination, of any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Company
or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and
warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage
Loans or the interest of the Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. The
Company shall have a period of sixty (60) days from the earlier of its discovery
or its receipt of notice of any such breach within which to correct or cure
such
breach. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that if any such breach is
not
corrected or cured within such sixty day period, the Company shall, at the
Purchaser's option and not later than ninety (90) days of its discovery or
its
receipt of notice of such breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the
Repurchase Price or, with the Purchaser's prior consent and at Purchaser’s sole
option, substitute a Mortgage Loan as provided below. In the event that any
such
breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section
3.01,
and such breach is not cured within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either
discovery by or notice to the Company of such breach, all Mortgage Loans
shall,
at the option of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase
Price. Any such repurchase shall be accomplished by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to Purchaser in the amount of the Repurchase Price.
If
the
Company is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section
3.03, the Company may, with the Purchaser's prior consent and at Purchaser’s
sole option, within ninety (90) days from the related Closing Date, remove
such
defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and substitute another
mortgage loan for such defective Mortgage Loan, in lieu of repurchasing such
defective Mortgage Loan. Any substitute Mortgage Loan is subject to Purchaser
acceptability. Any substituted Loans will comply with the representations
and
warranties set forth in this Agreement as of the substitution date
The
Company shall amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal
of the removed Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and the substitution of
such
substitute Mortgage Loan therefor. Upon such amendment, the Purchaser shall
review the Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute Mortgage
Loan. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the substitute
Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal
Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the
Purchaser and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for which
the
substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such
month shall be the property of the Company. The principal payment on a
substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution
shall
be the property of the Company and the principal payment on the Mortgage
Loan
for which the substitution is made due on such date shall be the property
of the
Purchaser.
It
is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Company set forth in this
Section 3.03 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan,
and to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, constitute the sole
remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations
and warranties. If the Company fails to repurchase or substitute for a defective
Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.03, or fails to cure a defective
Mortgage Loan to Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction in accordance with this
Section 3.03, or to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, that failure
shall be an Event of Default and the Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue
all
remedies available in this Agreement as a result thereof. No provision of
this
paragraph shall affect the rights of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement
for cause, as set forth in Sections 10.01 and 11.01.
Any
cause
of action against the Company relating to or arising out of the breach of
any
representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall accrue
as to
any Mortgage Loan upon (i) the earlier of discovery of such breach by the
Company or notice thereof by the Purchaser to the Company, (ii) failure by
the
Company to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified
above,
and (iii) demand upon the Company by the Purchaser for compliance with this
Agreement.
In
the
event that any Mortgage Loan is held by a REMIC, notwithstanding any contrary
provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not
in
default or as to which no default is imminent, no substitution pursuant to
Subsection 3.03 shall be made after the applicable REMIC's "start up day"
(as
defined in Section 860G(a) (9) of the Code), unless the Company has obtained
an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not (i) result
in
the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of such REMIC (as defined
in Section 860F of the Code) or otherwise subject the REMIC to tax, or (ii)
cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time.

ARTICLE
IV
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section
4.01 Company
to Act as Servicer.
The
Company, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the related Term Sheet
and
with Accepted Servicing Practices, and shall have full power and authority,
acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection
with
such servicing and administration which the Company may deem necessary or
desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the related
Term
Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices and exercise the same care that
it
customarily employs for its own account. Except as set forth in this Agreement
and the related Term Sheet, the Company shall service the Mortgage Loans
in
strict compliance with the servicing provisions of the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides
(special servicing option), which include, but are not limited to, provisions
regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan
payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance
of
hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of mortgage
impairment insurance, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions
insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance
of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies, insurance claims, the title, management and disposition of REO
Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation
reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property,
the
transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Files, annual
statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event of any
conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions
of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and any of the servicing provisions
of the Xxxxxx Mae Guides, the provisions of this Agreement and the related
Term
Sheet shall control and be binding upon the Purchaser and the Company.
Consistent
with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Company
may
waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the
postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor
if in the Company's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver,
modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the
Purchaser, provided, however, that unless the Company has obtained the prior
written consent of the Purchaser, the Company shall not permit any modification
with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest
Rate,
defer for more than ninety days or forgive any payment of principal or interest,
reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments
of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In
the
event of any such modification which has been agreed to in writing by the
Purchaser and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments
on
any Mortgage Loan, the Company shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding
the Remittance Date in any month in which any such principal or interest
payment
has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in
accordance with Section 4.04, the difference between (a) such month's principal
and one month's interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on the unpaid
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the
Mortgagor. The Company shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances
to
the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.05. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall continue, and
is
hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver, all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release,
discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Company may not enter into a forbearance agreement
or similar arrangement with respect to any Mortgage Loan which runs more
than
180 days after the first delinquent Due Date. Any such agreement shall be
approved by Purchaser and, if required, by the Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy
insurer and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer, if required.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Mortgage Loan becomes
subject
to a Pass-Through Transfer, the Company (a) with respect to such Mortgage
Loan,
shall not permit any modification with respect to such Mortgage Loan that
would
change the Mortgage Interest Rate and (b) shall not (unless the Mortgagor
is in
default with respect to such Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment
of the Company, reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any modification,
waiver
or amendment of any term of such Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect
an
exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code
(or
Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (ii) cause any REMIC to
fail to
qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited
transactions” or “contriburions” after the startup date under the REMIC
Provisions.
Prior
to
taking any action with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject to a Pass-Through
Transfer, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the
Company will obtain an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the trustee in such
Pass-Through Transfer with respect to whether such action could result in
the
imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (including but not limited to the tax
on
prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and
the tax
on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code)(either
such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”), and the Company shall not take any such
actions as to which it has been advised that an Adverse REMIC Event could
occur.
The
Company shall not permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of
Section 860G of the Code) in any REMIC. The Company shall not enter into
any
arrangement by which a REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for
services nor permit a REMIC to receive any income from assets other than
“qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted
investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
In
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall employ
Accepted Servicing Practices, giving due consideration to the Purchaser's
reliance on the Company. Unless a different time period is stated in this
Agreement or the related Term Sheet, Purchaser shall be deemed to have given
consent in connection with a particular matter if Purchaser does not
affirmatively grant or deny consent within five (5) Business Days from the
date
Purchaser receives a second written request for consent for such matter from
Company as servicer.
The
Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer on behalf of the Company
provided that the Subservicer is an entity that engages in the business of
servicing loans, and in either case shall be authorized to transact business,
and licensed to service mortgage loans, in the state or states where the
related
Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent
required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations
hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement, and in either case shall
be a
FHLMC or Xxxxxx Xxx approved mortgage servicer in good standing, and no event
has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage,
which
would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders
imposed by Xxxxxx Mae or for seller/servicers imposed by Xxxxxx Xxx or FHLMC,
or
which would require notification to Xxxxxx Mae or FHLMC. In addition, each
Subservicer will obtain and preserve its qualifications to do business as
a
foreign corporation and its licenses to service mortgage loans, in each
jurisdiction in which such qualifications and/or licenses are or shall be
necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or
any
of the Mortgage Loans and to perform or cause to be performed its duties
under
the related Subservicing Agreement. The Company may perform any of its servicing
responsibilities hereunder or may cause the Subservicer to perform any such
servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Company of the
Subservicer shall not release the Company from any of its obligations hereunder
and the Company shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions
of
the Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the
Company. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses of the Subservicer from
its
own funds, and the Subservicer's fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee.
Company
shall notify Purchaser promptly in writing upon the appointment of any
Subservicer.
At
the
cost and expense of the Company, without any right of reimbursement from
the
Custodial Account, the Company shall be entitled to terminate the rights
and
responsibilities of the Subservicer and arrange for any servicing
responsibilities to be performed by a successor subservicer meeting the
requirements in the preceding paragraph, provided, however, that nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Company, at the
Company's option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself.
In
the event that the Company's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement
are terminated pursuant to Section 4.13, 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 and if requested
to
do so by the Purchaser, the Company shall at its own cost and expense terminate
the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer effective as of the date
of
termination of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees, expenses or
penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities
of the
Subservicer from the Company's own funds without reimbursement from the
Purchaser.
Notwithstanding
any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements
between the Company and the Subservicer or any reference herein to actions
taken
through the Subservicer or otherwise, the Company shall not be relieved of
its
obligations to the Purchaser and shall be obligated to the same extent and
under
the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering
the Mortgage Loans. The Company shall be entitled to enter into an agreement
with the Subservicer for indemnification of the Company by the Subservicer
and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification. The Company will indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from
any
loss, liability or expense arising out of its use of a Subservicer to perform
any of its servicing duties, responsibilities and obligations
hereunder.
Any
Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to
the
Mortgage Loans involving the Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the
Subservicer and Company alone, and the Purchaser shall have no obligations,
duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer including no obligation,
duty or liability of Purchaser to pay the Subservicer's fees and expenses.
For
purposes of distributions and advances by the Company pursuant to this
Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage
Loan when the Subservicer has received such payment.
Section
4.02 Collection
of Mortgage Loan Payments.
Continuously
from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject
to
this Agreement, the Company will proceed diligently to collect all payments
due
under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall,
to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, Accepted
Servicing Practices, and the terms and provisions of any related Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, follow
such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the
Company will take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual escrow
payments, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become
due and payable, so that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will
be
sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and
payable.
In
no
event will the Company waive its right to any prepayment penalty or premium
without the prior written consent of Purchaser and Company will use diligent
efforts to collect same when due except as otherwise provided in the prepayment
penalty rider to the Mortgage.
Section
4.03 Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage
The
Company shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the
Company would use in servicing loans for its own account, consistent with
Accepted Servicing Practices, any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and
Lender
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and the best interest of Purchaser, 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 pursuant to Section 4.01. Foreclosure or comparable proceedings
shall
be initiated or a notice of default sent within ninety (90) days of default
for
Mortgaged Properties for which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for
collection of delinquent payments, subject to state and federal law and
regulation. The Company shall use its best efforts to realize upon defaulted
Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and
interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other things, the timing
of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that,
in
any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Company
shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such
property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration
will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to
the
Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that
such
expenses will be recoverable by the Company through Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated
in
Section 4.05. Company shall obtain prior approval of Purchaser as to repair
or
restoration expenses in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). The Company
shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the commencement of foreclosure
proceedings. The Company shall be responsible for all costs and expenses
incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions; provided, however, that
it
shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as
contemplated in Section 4.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu
of
foreclosure, in the event the Company has reasonable cause to believe that
a
Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes,
or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review
of
such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted
by a
qualified inspector at the Purchaser's expense. Upon completion of the
inspection, the Company shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written
report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental
inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Company shall proceed
with respect to the Mortgaged Property.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's
sole option, terminate the Company as servicer of any Mortgage Loan which
becomes ninety (90) days or greater delinquent in payment of a scheduled
Monthly
Payment, without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided
that the Company shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed
for any unreimbursed advances of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section
5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in each case
relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such delinquent Mortgage Loan
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the
event
of any such termination, the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply
to
said termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect
to
such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser or its designee.
In
the
event that a Mortgage Loan becomes part of a REMIC, and becomes REO Property,
such property shall be disposed of by the Company, with the consent of Purchaser
as required pursuant to this Agreement, before the close of the third taxable
year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO
Property, unless the Company provides to the trustee under such REMIC an
opinion
of counsel to the effect that the holding of such REO Property subsequent
to the
close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage
Loan became an REO Property, will not result in the imposition of taxes on
"prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause
the
transaction to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that certificates are
outstanding. Company shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each such
REO
Property for the certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt
disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such property to fail
to
qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(E)
of
the Code, or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject
to
taxation under the REMIC provisions of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts
to sell
such property, the Company shall either itself or through an agent selected
by
Company, protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such
an
extent as is customary in the locality where such property is located.
Section
4.04 Establishment
of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in
Custodial Accounts.
The
Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant
to
each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general
assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts. The
Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds
deposited in the Custodial Account, which shall be deposited within 24 hours
of
receipt, shall at all times be insured by the FDIC up to the FDIC insurance
limits, or must be invested in Permitted Investments for the benefit of the
Purchaser. Funds
deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance
with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced
by a
letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit B hereto. The original of such
letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date,
and
upon the request of any subsequent Purchaser.
The
Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, and retain
therein the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent
to the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable

Sections 4.08, 4.10 and 4.11, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow

in
connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy,
such deposit shall be made from the Company's own funds, without reimbursement
therefor; and
(x)
any
amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section
4.01, 4.13 or 6.02.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive,
it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption
fees,
to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Company
in
the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial
Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the
Company
and the Company shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from
the
Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 (iv). The
Purchaser shall not be responsible for any losses suffered with respect to
investment of funds in the Custodial Account.
Section
4.05 Permitted
Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.
The
Company may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the
following purposes:
(i) to
make
payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in
Section 5.01;
(ii)
to
reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Company's right to reimburse itself
pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the
related
Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing
Fees) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was
made,
it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Company's
right
thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where
the
Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 3.03,
the
Company's right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment
to the
Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such Section and all other
amounts
required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage
Loan;
(iii)
to
reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unpaid Servicing
Fees(or REO administration fees described in Section 4.13), the Company's

each Remittance Date), and (b) the Servicing Fee from that portion of any
payment or recovery as to interest with respect to a particular Mortgage
Loan;

The
Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant
to
each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from
any
of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one
or more
Escrow Accounts. The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds
deposited in each Escrow Account shall at all times be insured in a manner
to
provide maximum insurance under the insurance limitations of the FDIC, or
must
be invested in Permitted Investments. Funds
deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance
with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced
by a
letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C. The original of such letter
agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and upon
request to any subsequent purchaser.
The
Company shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis,

Mortgaged Property; and
(iii) all
Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient
to
cover escrow disbursements.
The
Company shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such
payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes
as
shall be as set forth or in accordance with Section 4.07. The Company shall
be
entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account
by
the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required
by law
to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Company
shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that
the
Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is
insufficient for such purposes. The
Purchaser shall not be responsible for any losses suffered with respect to
investment of funds in the Escrow Account.
Section
4.07 Permitted
Withdrawals From Escrow Account.
Withdrawals
from the Escrow Account may be made by Company only:
(i) to
effect
timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, fire and hazard insurance
premiums, condominium assessments and comparable items;
(ii) to
reimburse Company for any Servicing Advance made by Company with respect
to a
related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage
Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments
thereunder;
(iii) to
refund
to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages;
(iv) for
transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement;
(v) for
application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property;
(vi) to
pay to
the Company, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any interest
paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account;
(vii)
to
clear
and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement. As
part
of its servicing duties, the Company shall pay to the Mortgagors interest
on
funds in Escrow Account, to the extent required by law, and to the extent
that
interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall pay
such
interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor;
and
(viii)
to
pay to the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in
accordance with Section 4.06.
Section
4.08 Payment
of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of Primary
Mortgage
Insurance
Policies; Collections Thereunder.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall maintain accurate records
reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and
other
charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the
status of primary mortgage insurance premiums and fire and hazard insurance
coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of
such
charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior
to
the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for
securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits
of the
Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated
by the Company in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under
the
terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage
does
not provide for Escrow Payments, the Company shall determine that any such
payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The
Company assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills
and
shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's
faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments
and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.
The
Company will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified
Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein
required. Such coverage will be terminated only with the approval of Purchaser,
or as required by applicable law or regulation. The Company will not cancel
or
refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to be kept
in
force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or
nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer.
The
Company shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under
any
applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Company would
have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution
agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the
Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of
such
assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such
policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as
a
condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated
as a
result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall
obtain
a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy as provided above.
In
connection with its activities as servicer, the Company agrees to prepare
and
present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under
any
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy
in
a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to
take
such action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a
defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected
by the
Company under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05.
Section
4.09 Transfer
of Accounts.
The
Company may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different
Eligible Account from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon
obtaining the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent will
not be
unreasonably withheld.
Section
4.10 Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance.
The
Company shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard
insurance with extended coverage as is acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or FHLMC
and
customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount
which
is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements
securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof
shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming
a co-insurer. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as
amended, each Mortgage Loan shall be covered by a flood insurance policy
meeting
the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration in effect with an insurance carrier acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx
or
FHLMC, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i)
the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable
value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum
amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection
Act
of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan,
the
Company determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the
Xxxxxx
Mae Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard
area
and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than
the
amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended,
the
Company shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain
such
flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required
flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification,
the Company shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on
the
Mortgagor’s behalf. The Company shall also maintain on each REO Property, fire
and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least
equal
to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such
property, and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided
above. Any amounts collected by the Company under any such policies other
than
amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration
or
repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor
in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall be deposited in the
Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. It is
understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required
by the
Company of the Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of
the
Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to this Agreement, the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides
or
such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall at any time
be in
force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall
be
endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Company
and
its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty days
prior
written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change
in coverage to the Company. The Company shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's
freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided,
however, that the Company shall not accept any such insurance policies from
insurance companies unless such companies are Qualified Insurers.
Section
4.11 Maintenance
of Mortgage Impairment Insurance
Policy.
In
the
event that the Company shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued
by an
insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or FHLMC insuring against hazard losses
on all
of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage
in an
amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise
complies with all other requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively
be
deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10, it
being
understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in
which
case the Company shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained
on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with
Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered
by
such policy, deposit in the Custodial 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 Company agrees to prepare
and present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy
in
a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request
of
the Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a
certified true copy of such policy and shall use its best efforts to obtain
a
statement from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event
be
terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior written
notice
to the Purchaser.
Section
4.12 Fidelity
Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.
The
Company shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an
errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible
companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity
with regard to the Mortgage Loan to handle funds, money, documents and papers
relating to the Mortgage Loan. The Fidelity Bond shall be in the form of
the
Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Company against
losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement and fraud of such persons.
The
errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Company against
losses arising out of errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons.
Such errors and omissions insurance shall also protect and insure the Company
against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance policies
required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a
Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness
secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity
Bond
or errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Company from
its
duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage
under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the
corresponding amounts required by Xxxxxx Xxx in the Xxxxxx Mae Guides. Upon
request by the Purchaser, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a
certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity
Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement
from
the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall
in
no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior
written notice to the Purchaser. The Company shall notify the Purchaser within
five (5) business days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance
policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The Purchaser
(or any party having the status of Purchaser hereunder) and any subsidiary
thereof and their successors or assigns as their interests may appear must
be
named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured on the
errors and omissions policy. Upon request by Purchaser, Company shall provide
Purchaser with an insurance certificate certifying coverage under this Section
4.12, and will provide an update to such certificate upon request, or upon
renewal or material modification of coverage.
Section
4.13 Title,
Management and Disposition of REO Property.
In
the
event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or
by deed
in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in
the
name of the Purchaser or its designee, or in the event the Purchaser or its
designee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in
the
state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under
the "doing business" or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed
or
certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons
as
shall be consistent with an opinion of counsel obtained by the Company from
an
attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property
is
located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser
shall
acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit
of the Purchaser.
The
Company shall notify the Purchaser in accordance with the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides
of
each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition (and, in any event,
shall
provide notice of the consummation of any foreclosure sale within three (3)
Business Days of the date Company receives notice of such consummation),
together with a copy of the drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion of
the
Mortgaged Property obtained in connection with such acquisition, and thereafter
assume the responsibility for marketing such REO property in accordance with
Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Company shall continue to provide
certain administrative services to the Purchaser relating to such REO Property
as set forth in this Section 4.13. The fee for such administrative services
shall be $2,000 to be paid upon liquidation of the REO Property. No Servicing
Fee shall be assessed or otherwise accrue on any REO Property from and after
the
date on which it becomes an REO Property.
The
Company shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Company,
and in
accordance with the Xxxxxx Mae Guides manage, conserve, protect and operate
each
REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and
operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner
that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed.
The
Company shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the
acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected
at least monthly thereafter or more frequently as required by the circumstances.
The Company shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such
inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and copies
thereof shall be forwarded by the Company to the Purchaser.
The
Company shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon
as
possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year after
title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Company determines,
and
gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to such effect, that a longer
period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If
a
longer period than one (1) year is permitted under the foregoing sentence
and is
necessary to sell any REO Property, the Company shall report monthly to the
Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property. No
REO
Property shall be marketed for less than the Appraised Value, without the
prior
consent of Purchaser. No REO Property shall be sold for less than ninety
five
percent (95%) of its Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser.
All requests for reimbursement of Servicing Advances shall be in accordance
with
the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides. The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out
by
the Company at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Company
deems to be in the best interests of the Purchaser (subject to the above
conditions) only with the prior written consent of the Purchaser. Company
shall
provide monthly reports to Purchaser in reference to the status of the marketing
of the REO Properties.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's
sole option, terminate the Company as servicer of any such REO Property without
payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided that the Company
shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed for any
unreimbursed advances of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section 5.03
and
any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in each case relating
to
the Mortgage Loan underlying such REO Property notwithstanding anything to
the
contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the event of any such termination,
the
provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply to said termination and the
transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such REO Property
to the
Purchaser or its designee. Within five Business Days of any such termination,
the Company shall, if necessary convey such property to the Purchaser and
shall
further provide the Purchaser with the following information regarding the
subject REO Property: the related drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion,
and copies of any related Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy claims. In
addition, within five Business Days, the Company shall provide the Purchaser
with the following information regarding the subject REO Property: the related
trustee’s deed upon sale and copies of any related hazard insurance claims, or
repair bids.
Section
4.14 Notification
of Maturity Date.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall execute and deliver to the
Mortgagor any and all necessary notices required under applicable law and
the
terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the maturity date
if
required under applicable law.

commencing with the day following the Business Day such payment was due and
ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made to the Purchaser,

report detailing all amounts being remitted pursuant to this Section
5.01.
Section
5.02 Statements

Not
later
than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Remittance
Date,
the Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all
payments not previously advanced by the Company, whether or not deferred

not allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, adjusted to the Mortgage
Loan Remittance Rate, which were due on a Mortgage Loan and delinquent at

Company's obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan
will
continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full
of
the Mortgage Loan, or through the Remittance Date prior to the date on which
the
Mortgaged Property liquidates (including Insurance Proceeds, proceeds from
the
sale of REO Property or Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage
Loan
unless the Company deems such advance to be nonrecoverable. In such event,
the
Company shall deliver to the Purchaser an Officer's Certificate of the Company
to the effect that an officer of the Company has reviewed the related Mortgage
File and has made the reasonable determination that any additional advances
are
nonrecoverable.
Section

ARTICLE
VI
GENERAL
SERVICING PROCEDURES
Section
6.01 Assumption
Agreements.
The
Company will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective
conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute
conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains
or
is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise
its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale"
clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Company
shall
not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage
Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten
to
impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or
Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Company reasonably
believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale"
clause,
the Company, with the approval of the Purchaser, will enter into an assumption
agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed
or is
proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under
the
Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the
Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant
to
this Section 6.01, the Company, with the prior consent of the Purchaser and
the
primary mortgage insurer, if any, is authorized to enter into a substitution
of
liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor
is released from liability and such Person is substituted as mortgagor and
becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of
liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement.
In
connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company
shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Company. With
respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest
Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the amount of the Monthly Payment
and
the maturity date may not be changed (except pursuant to the terms of the
Mortgage Note). If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such
underwriting criteria, the Company diligently shall, to the extent permitted
by
the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity
of the Mortgage Loan. The Company shall notify the Purchaser that any such
substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by
forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability
or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage
File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File
to
the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part
thereof. All fees collected by the Company for entering into an assumption
or
substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Company.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this
Agreement, the Company shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any
other
violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage
Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Company may be restricted
by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section
6.01, the term "assumption" is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged
Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption
or
substitution of liability agreement.
Section
6.02 Satisfaction
of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage
Files.
Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Company of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary
for
such purposes, the Company will immediately notify the Purchaser by a
certification, which certification shall include a statement to the effect
that
all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which
are
required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04
have
been or will be so deposited, of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery
to it of the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser. The Purchaser
shall no later than five Business Days after receipt of such certification
and
request, release or cause to be released to the Company, the related Mortgage
Loan Documents and, upon its receipt of such documents, the Company shall
promptly prepare and deliver to the Purchaser the requisite satisfaction
or
release. No later than five (5) Business Days following its receipt of such
satisfaction or release, the Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered,
to the Company the release or satisfaction properly executed by the owner
of
record of the applicable mortgage or its duly appointed attorney in fact.
No
expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed
of
reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.
In
the
event the Company satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained
payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it
otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage
instruments, the Company, upon written demand, shall remit within two (2)
Business Days to the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of
the
related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Company
shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance insuring
the
Company against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan
not
satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage
Loan, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the Purchaser
shall, upon request of the Company and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing
receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the portion of the Mortgage
File
held by the Purchaser to the Company. Such servicing receipt shall obligate
the
Company to return the related Mortgage documents to the Purchaser when the
need
therefor by the Company no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been
liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have
been
deposited in the Custodial Account or the Mortgage File or such document
has
been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official
as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or
other
proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially
or
non-judicially, and the Company has delivered to the Purchaser a certificate
of
a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to
which
such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes
of
such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating
that
such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released
by
the Purchaser to the Company.
Section
6.03 Servicing
Compensation.
As
compensation for its services hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to
withdraw from the Custodial Account (to the extent of interest payments
collected on the Mortgage Loans) or to retain from interest payments collected

Sections 3.01 or 3.02, or the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct

of
this Agreement.
Section
8.02 Merger
or Consolidation of the Company.
The
Company will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as
a
corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation except as permitted

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 duties under this
Agreement.
Any
Person into which the Company may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Company
shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Company
whether or not related to loan servicing, shall be the successor of the Company
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person
shall
be an institution (i) having a GAAP net worth of not less than $25,000,000,
(ii)
the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC and/or BIF, and which is a
HUD-approved mortgagee whose primary business is in origination and servicing

the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for
errors
in judgment made in good faith; provided, however, that this provision shall
not
protect the Company or any such person against any breach of warranties or
representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict
compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligence, bad faith
or
willful misconduct, or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
The Company and any officer, employee or agent of the Company may rely in
good
faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted
by
the Purchaser respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Company shall
not be
under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which
is
not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance
with
this Agreement and which in its reasonable opinion may involve it in any
expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Company may, with the
consent
of the Purchaser, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or
desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties
hereto. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action

Company. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Company
shall
be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser

have assumed the Company's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in
the
manner provided in Section 11.01.
Section
8.05 No
Transfer of Servicing.
With
respect to the retention of the Company to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder,
the Company acknowledges that the Purchaser has acted in reliance upon the
Company's independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan,

thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its
property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Purchaser,

the
Company either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities
hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof without

satisfying the requirements set forth herein or (ii) the prior written consent
of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this

of one
(1) Business Day; or
(ii)
failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform in any material
respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company

(iv)
the
Company shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or

loans in any jurisdiction in which a Mortgaged Property is located and such

jurisdiction where it is currently so qualified, but only to the extent such
non-qualification materially and adversely affects the Company's ability
to
perform its obligations hereunder; or
(ix)
the
Company fails to meet the eligibility criteria set forth in the last sentence
of
Section 8.02.
Then,
and
in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have
been
remedied, the Purchaser, by notice in writing to the Company (except in the
case
of an Event of Default under clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) above, in which case,
automatically and without notice) Company may, in addition to whatever rights
the Purchaser may have under Sections 3.03 and 8.01 and at law or equity
or to
damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate
all the
rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement and in and to
the
Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Company
for the
same. On or after the receipt by the Company of such written notice (or,
in the
case of an Event of Default under clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) above, in which
case, automatically and without notice), all authority and power of the Company
under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise,

execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in

acts
or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice
of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment
of
the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Company's
sole
expense. The Company agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor
in effecting the termination of the Company's responsibilities and rights
hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor
for
administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited
by
the Company to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received
with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.
Section
9.02 Waiver
of Defaults.
The
Purchaser may waive only by written notice any default by the Company in
the
performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such
waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event
of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every
purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or
other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent
expressly so waived in writing.

MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS
Section
11.01 Successor
to the Company.
Prior
to
termination of Company's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement
pursuant to Sections 4.13, 8.04, 9.01, 10.01 (ii) or (iii), the Purchaser
shall
(i) succeed to and assume all of the Company's responsibilities, rights,
duties
and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor having
the
characteristics set forth in Section 8.02 hereof and which shall succeed
to all
rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of
the
Company under this Agreement prior to the termination of Company's
responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In connection
with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements
for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans
as the
Purchaser and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Company's
duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be
terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the Company shall discharge
such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires
knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same
degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under
this
Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice
the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal
of Company pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective
until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section and shall in
no
event relieve the Company of the representations and warranties made pursuant
to
Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03 and the remedies available to the Purchaser
thereunder and under Section 8.01, it being understood and agreed that the
provisions of such Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 and 8.01 shall be applicable
to the
Company notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Company,
or
the termination of this Agreement.
Any
successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to
the Company and to the Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment,
whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers,
duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Company, with
like
effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination
or
resignation of the Company or this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.13, 8.04,
9.01 or 10.01 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against
the Company arising prior to any such termination or resignation.
The
Company shall promptly deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial
Account and the Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files and related documents
and
statements held by it hereunder and the Company shall account for all funds.
The
Company shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things
all
as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm
in
the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations
and
liabilities of the Company. The successor shall make arrangements as it may
deem
appropriate to reimburse the Company for unrecovered Servicing Advances which
the successor retains hereunder and which would otherwise have been recovered
by
the Company pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor
servicer.
Upon
a
successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Company shall notify by
mail
the Purchaser of such appointment.

The
Purchaser and the Company acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article
1 of
this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Purchaser and any Depositor
with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of
the
Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings
of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act,
the
Company acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require
that the Purchaser or any Depositor provide comparable disclosure in
unregistered offerings and will provide such comparable disclosure in
unregistered offerings to the extent such disclosure becomes consistent with
industry practice. References in this Agreement to compliance with Regulation
AB
include provision of comparable disclosure in private offerings. Neither
the
Purchaser nor any Depositor shall exercise its right to request (if any request
is required) delivery of information or other performance under these provisions
other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the
provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of
disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act). The Company
acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may
change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the
Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed
securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply
with
reasonable requests made by the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or any Depositor
in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis
of
evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection
with any Securitization Transaction, the Company shall cooperate as set forth
herein with the Purchaser to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its
assignees or designees) and any Depositor, any and all statements, reports,
certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith
determination of the Purchaser or any Depositor to permit the Purchaser or
such
Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such
disclosures relating to the Company, any Subservicer, any Third-Party Originator
and the Mortgage Loans, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably
believed by the Purchaser or any Depositor to be necessary in order to effect
such compliance.

from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs,
fees
and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or based
upon:
(i)(A) any
untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained
in
any
information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other
material
provided
under
this Article 1 by
or on
behalf of the Company,
or provided under this Article 1 by or on behalf of any Subservicer,
Subcontractor or Third-Party Originator (collectively, the “Company
Information”),
or (B)
the omission or alleged omission to state in the Company Information a material
fact required to be stated in the Company Information or necessary in order
to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they
were made, not misleading; provided,
by way of clarification,
that
clause (B) of this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the
Company Information and not to any other information communicated in connection
with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether the Company
Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately
from
such other information;
(ii) any
breach by the Company of its obligations under this Article I, including
particularly the failure by the Company, any Subservicer, any Subcontractor
or
any Third-Party
Originator to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’
letter or other material when and as required under this Article I, including
any failure by the Company to identify pursuant to Section 6(b) any

that such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach by the
Company
of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to Section
2(b)
to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date; or
(iv) if
the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless an Indemnified Party, then the Company agrees that it shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of any
claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party
in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such
Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Company on the other.
In
the
case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(ii) of this Section,
the Company shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser, any Depositor, as
applicable, and each Person responsible for the preparation, execution or
filing
of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such

to Rule
13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such
Securitization Transaction, for all costs reasonably incurred by each such
party
in order to obtain the information,
report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as
required by the Company, any
Subservicer, any Subcontractor or any Third-Party
Originator.
This
indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the

that such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach by the
Company
of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to Section
2(b)

as provided in clause (ii) of this paragraph, immediately and automatically,
without notice or grace period, constitute an Event of Default with respect
to
the Company under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement,
if
such failure or breach is not cured within two (2) Business Days after the
Company receives written notice of such failure or breach (which may be provided
by e-mail), and shall entitle the Purchaser or any Depositor, as applicable,
in
its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Company
as
servicer under this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement
without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any applicable
Reconstitution Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Company
except for reimbursing
the Company for any servicing advances that the Company actually made as
servicer pursuant to this Agreement and rights
arising
prior to such termination (and if the Company is servicing any of the Mortgage
Loans in a Securitization Transaction, appoint a successor servicer reasonably
acceptable to any Master Servicer for such Securitization Transaction);
provided
that to
the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable

or obligations following termination of the Company as servicer, such provision
shall be given effect.

failure by the Company, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any
information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and as required
under Section 4 or 5, including any failure by the Company to identify pursuant
to Section 6(b) any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function”
within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, which continues unremedied
for
ten calendar days after the date of written notice from the Master Servicer
shall constitute an Event of Default (notwithstanding any other provision
in
this Agreement or any Reconstitution Agreement to the contrary) with respect
to
the Company under this Agreement and any applicable Reconstitution Agreement,
and shall entitle the Purchaser, any Master Servicer or any Depositor, as
applicable, in its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations
of
the Company as servicer under this Agreement and/or any applicable
Reconstitution Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to the Company except for
reimbursing
the Company for any servicing advances that the Company actually made as
servicer pursuant to this Agreement and rights
arising
prior to such termination; provided
that to
the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable
Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain rights
or obligations following termination of the Company as servicer, such provision
shall be given effect.
(iii) The
Company shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser (or any designee of the
Purchaser, such as a master servicer) and any Depositor, as applicable, for
all
reasonable expenses incurred by the Purchaser (or such designee) or such
Depositor, as such are incurred, in connection with the termination of the
Company as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to
a
successor servicer. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever
rights the Purchaser or any Depositor may have under other provisions of
this
Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement or otherwise, whether
in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance
or
injunctive relief.
(c) Notification
and Cooperation.
The parties hereto further agree, and any Indemnified Party not a party hereto
is deemed to agree, as a condition to its reliance on such indemnification,
that
the Company’s indemnification obligations under this Section 7 are subject to
the following terms and conditions:
(i) An
Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder shall give written notice
to
the Company within a reasonable time after the Indemnified Party receives
notice
of an indemnifiable claim provided that failure to give such notice within
a
reasonable time shall not invalidate the Company’s obligations to indemnify such
Indemnified Party except if, and then only to the extent that, such failure
materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party or its ability to defend such
claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the burden of proving such material
prejudice;
(ii) The
Company shall undertake the defense of the action or claim with counsel or
other
representatives of its own choosing and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified
Party (which counsel shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified
Party, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party);
(iii) The
Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate and assist in, but
not
control, the defense of such claim and employ separate counsel in any action
or
claim, at the expense of the Indemnified Party (i.e., at its own expense),
provided that if the interests of the Company and the Indemnified Party diverge,
the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to separate counsel at the Company’s
expense, provided
such expense is reasonable;
and
(iv) The
Company shall not settle or compromise any claim suit or action against the
Indemnified Party without the express prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party.
(d) Exclusive
Remedy.
Except for remedies under the Agreement and remedies that cannot be waived
as a
matter of law and injunctive relief, the rights under this Section 7 shall
be
the exclusive remedy for breaches of this Section 7 (including any covenant,
obligation, representation or warranty contained herein or
therein).
(e) Limitations. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Company
be
obligated under this Section 7 to indemnify an Indemnified Party otherwise
entitled to indemnity hereunder in respect of any indemnifiable claims or
losses
to the extent that such claims or losses result directly from the willful
misconduct, bad faith or negligent acts of the Indemnified Party.
(f) The
parties hereto agree that any written notice under this Section 7 may be
made
via email.
Section
8
Third
Party Beneficiary.
For
purposes of this Article I and any related provisions thereto, each Master
Servicer shall be considered a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement,
entitled to all the rights and benefits hereof as if it were a direct party
to
this Agreement.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Seller and the Purchaser have caused this Amendment
to be
executed and delivered by their duly authorized officers as of the day and
year
first above written.

Section 2.06 and the books and records of the Company show such person as the
owner of the Mortgage Loan. The Purchaser may, subject to the terms of this

bound by the terms of this Agreement and an original counterpart of the
instrument of transfer in an Assignment and Assumption of this Agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit
D
hereto
executed by the transferee shall have been delivered to the Company. The
Purchaser also shall advise the Company of the transfer. Upon receipt of notice

promptly upon receipt thereof and in any case not later than 150 days from
the
related Closing Date, deliver such original documents, including original
recorded documents, to the Purchaser or its designee (unless the Company is
delayed in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall
not have been returned by the appropriate recording office). If delivery is
not
completed within 150 days solely due to delays in making such delivery by reason
of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate
recording office, the Company shall deliver such document to Purchaser, or
its
designee, within such time period as specified in a Company's Officer's
Certificate. In the event that documents have not been received by the date
specified in the Company's Officer's Certificate, a subsequent Company's
Officer's Certificate shall be delivered by such date specified in the prior
Company's Officer's Certificate, stating a revised date for receipt of
documentation. The procedure shall be repeated until the documents have been
received and delivered. If delivery is not completed within 270 days solely
due

shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Company
shall continue to use its best efforts to effect delivery as soon as possible
thereafter, provided that if such documents are not delivered by the 330th
day
from the date of the related Closing Date, the Company shall repurchase the
related Mortgage Loans at the Repurchase Price in accordance with Section 3.03
hereof unless the Company provides evidence that such non-delivery is solely
due
to delays by the appropriate recording office.
The
Company shall pay all initial recording fees, if any, for the assignments of
mortgage and any other fees in connection with the transfer of all original
documents to the Purchaser or its designee. The Company shall prepare, in
recordable form, all assignments of mortgage necessary to assign the Mortgage
Loans to the Purchaser, or its designee. The Company shall be responsible for
recording the assignments of mortgage as directed by the Purchaser.
The
Company shall provide an original or duplicate original of the title insurance
policy to the Purchaser or its designee within ninety (90) days of the receipt
of the recorded documents (required for issuance of such policy) from the
applicable recording office.
Any
review by the Purchaser, or its designee, of the Mortgage Files shall in no
way
alter or reduce the Company's obligations hereunder.
If
the
Purchaser or its designee discovers any defect with respect to a Mortgage File,
the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee to, give written specification
of such defect to the Company which may be given in the exception report
attached as an exhibit to the related Term Sheet or the certification delivered
pursuant to this Section 2.07, or otherwise in writing and the Company shall
cure or repurchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section
3.03.
The
Company shall forward to the Purchaser, or its designee, original documents
evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any
Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with Section 4.01 or 6.01 within thirty
(30) days of their execution; provided, however, that the Company shall provide
the Purchaser, or its designee, with a certified true copy of any such document
submitted for recordation within thirty (30) days of its execution, and shall
provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of
such
document certified by the appropriate public recording office to be a true
and
complete copy of the original within 120 days of its submission for
recordation.
From
time
to time, the Company may have a need (other than in connection with a payment
in
full, which is described more fully in Section 6.02 herein) for Mortgage Loan
Documents to be released from the Purchaser, or its designee. The Purchaser
shall, or shall cause its designee, upon the written request of the Company
in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit
G,
within
ten (10) Business Days, deliver to the Company, any requested documentation
previously delivered to the Purchaser as part of the Mortgage File, provided
that such documentation is promptly returned to the Purchaser, or its designee,
when the Company no longer requires possession of the document, and provided
that during the time that any such documentation is held by the Company, such
possession is in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser.
Section
2.08 Quality
Control Procedures.
The
Company must have an internal quality control program that verifies, on a
regular basis, the existence and accuracy of the legal documents, credit
documents, property appraisals, and underwriting decisions. The program must
be
capable of evaluating and monitoring the overall quality of its loan production
and servicing activities. The program is to ensure that the Mortgage Loans
are
originated and serviced in accordance with prudent mortgage banking practices
and accounting principles; guard against dishonest, fraudulent, or negligent
acts; and guard against errors and omissions by officers, employees, or other
authorized persons.
Section
2.09 Near-term
Principal Prepayments; Near Term Payment Defaults.
In
the
event any Principal Prepayment in full is made by a Mortgagor on or prior to
three months (unless such other period is set forth in the related Confirmation
and Term Sheet) after the related Closing Date, the Company shall, upon written
notice thereof from the Purchaser received by the Company within sixty (60)
days
of the date of such prepayment in full, remit to the Purchaser an amount equal
to the excess, if any, of the Purchase Price Percentage over par multiplied
by
the amount of such Principal Prepayment in full. Such remittance shall be made
by the Company to the Purchaser no later than the seventh Business Day following
receipt of such notice of Principal Prepayment by the Purchaser.
In
the
event either of the first three (3) scheduled Monthly Payments (unless such
other number of Monthly Payments is set forth in the related Confirmation or
Term Sheet) which are due under any Mortgage Loan after the related Cut-off
Date
are not made during the month in which such Monthly Payments are due, then
not
later than seven (7) Business Days after written notice to the Company by the
Purchaser (and at the Purchaser’s sole option), the Company, shall repurchase
such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser pursuant to the repurchase provisions
contained in Subsection 3.03. However, if the Company provides evidence
satisfactory to the Purchaser that the delinquency was due to a servicing set
up
error, no repurchase shall be required.

REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF
THE
COMPANY; REPURCHASE; REVIEW OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section
3.01 Representations
and Warranties of the Company.
The
Company represents, warrants and covenants to the Purchaser that, as of the
related Closing Date or as of such date specifically provided
herein:
(a)
The
Company is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws
of the jurisdiction of its organization and has all licenses necessary to carry
out its business as now being conducted, and is licensed and qualified to
transact business in and is in good standing under the laws of each state in
which any Mortgaged Property is located or is otherwise exempt under applicable
law from such licensing or qualification or is otherwise not required under
applicable law to effect such licensing or qualification and no demand for
such
licensing or qualification has been made upon the Company by any such state,
and
in any event the Company is in material compliance with the laws of any such
state to the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of each Mortgage
Loan
and the servicing of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement;
(b)
The
Company has adequate power and authority and legal right to hold each Mortgage
Loan, to sell each Mortgage Loan and to execute, deliver and perform, and to
enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
the related Term Sheet. The Company has duly authorized the execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and any agreements
contemplated hereby, has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and the
related Term Sheet, and any agreements contemplated hereby, and, assuming due
authorization, execution and delivery by the Purchaser, this Agreement and
the
related Term Sheet and each Assignment to the Purchaser and any agreements
contemplated hereby, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization;
(c)
Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet,
nor the origination or purchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Company, the sale
of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, or the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet will violate the
Company's charter or by-laws or constitute a default under or result in a
material breach or acceleration of any material agreement or instrument to
which
the Company is now a party or by which it is bound, or result in the material
violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which
the
Company or its properties are subject, or impair the ability of the Purchaser
to
enforce its rights under the Mortgage Loans.
(d)
There
is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of
the
Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company, or any order or decree
outstanding, with respect to the Company which, either in any one instance
or in
the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect
on
the financial condition of the Company or seeks to prevent the consummation,
performance or enforceability of any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
(e)
No
consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency
or
body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company
of
or compliance by the Company with this Agreement or the related Term Sheet,
or
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the
related Term Sheet, except for consents, approvals, authorizations and orders
which have been obtained;
(f)
The
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the related
Term Sheet is in the ordinary course of business of the Company, and the
transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages
by
the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the related Term Sheet are not subject
to bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable
jurisdiction;
(g)
The
origination and servicing practices used by the Company and any prior originator
or servicer with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been legal
and
in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and the Mortgage Loan
Documents, and in all material respects proper and prudent in the mortgage
origination and servicing business. Each
Mortgage Loan is being (and has been) serviced in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices and applicable state and federal laws, including, without
limitation, the Federal Truth-In-Lending Act and other consumer protection
laws,
real estate settlement procedures, usury, equal credit opportunity and
disclosure laws. With
respect to escrow deposits and payments that the Company, on behalf of an
investor, is entitled to collect, all such payments are in the possession of,
or
under the control of, the Company, and there exist no deficiencies in connection
therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been
made. All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance with state
and
federal law and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. As
to
any Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an escrow, escrow of funds is not
prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient
to
pay for every escrowed item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is
not
yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or other charges or payments due under
the Mortgage Note have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related
Mortgage Note;
(h)
The
Company used no selection procedures that identified the Mortgage Loans as
being
less desirable or valuable than other comparable mortgage loans in the Company's
portfolio at the related Cut-off Date;
(i)
The
Company will treat the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser as a sale
for
reporting and accounting purposes and, to the extent appropriate, for federal
income tax purposes;
(j)
The
Company is an approved seller/servicer of residential mortgage loans for Xxxxxx
Xxx, FHLMC and HUD, with such facilities, procedures and personnel necessary
for
the sound servicing of such mortgage loans. The Company is duly qualified,
licensed, registered and otherwise authorized under all applicable federal,
state and local laws, and regulations, if applicable, meets the minimum capital
requirements set forth by the OTS, and is in good standing to sell mortgage
loans to and service mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Mae and FHLMC and no event has
occurred which would make the Company unable to comply with eligibility
requirements or which would require notification to either Xxxxxx Xxx or FHLMC;
(k)
The
Company does not believe, nor does it have any cause or reason to believe,
that
it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in this Agreement or the
related Term Sheet. The Company is solvent and the sale of the Mortgage Loans
will not cause the Company to become insolvent. The sale of the Mortgage Loans
is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the
Company's creditors;
(l)
No
statement, tape, diskette, form, report or other document prepared by, or on
behalf of, the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the related Term Sheet
or
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, contains or will
contain any statement that is or will be inaccurate or misleading in any
material respect;
(m)
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the Servicing Fee represents reasonable
compensation for performing such services and that the entire Servicing Fee
shall be treated by the Company, for accounting and tax purposes, as
compensation for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant
to this Agreement. In the opinion of the Company, the consideration received
by
the Company upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser under this
Agreement and the related Term Sheet constitutes fair consideration for the
Mortgage Loans under current market conditions.
(n)
The
Company has delivered to the Purchaser financial statements of its parent,
for
its last two complete fiscal years as requested. All such financial information
fairly presents the pertinent results of operations and financial position
for
the period identified and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP throughout
the periods involved, except as set forth in the notes thereto. There has been
no change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets
of the Company since the date of the Company’s financial information that would
have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under
this Agreement; and
(o)
The
Company has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person
that may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the
sale of the Mortgage Loans.
Section
3.02 Representations
and Warranties as to Individual Mortgage Loans.
The
Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as to each Mortgage
Loan, as of the related Closing Date as follows:
(a)
The
information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the related
Term
Sheet is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the related
Cut-Off Date;
(b)
The
Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first lien or a first priority
ownership interest in an estate in fee simple in real property on the Mortgaged
Property securing the related Mortgage Note subject to principles of equity,
bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the
rights of creditors;
(c)
All
payments due prior to the related Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan have
been
made; there are no material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan;
the
Company has not advanced its own funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly
received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the related
Mortgaged Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount
required by the Mortgage Loan. All of the Mortgage Loans will have an actual
interest paid to date of their related Cut-off Date (or later) and will be
due
for the scheduled monthly payment next succeeding the Cut-off Date (or later),
as evidenced by a posting to the Company's servicing collection system. No
payment under any Mortgage Loan is delinquent nor has any scheduled payment
been
delinquent at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the month of
the
related Closing Date. For purposes of this paragraph, a Mortgage Loan will
be
deemed delinquent if any payment due thereunder was not paid by the Mortgagor
in
the month such payment was due;
(d)
There
are no defaults by the Company in complying with the terms of the Mortgage,
and
all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and
municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became
due and owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an amount
sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which
has been assessed but is not yet due and payable;
(e)
The
terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived,
altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have
been recorded to the extent any such recordation is required by law, or,
necessary to protect the interest of the Purchaser. No instrument of waiver,
alteration or modification has been executed except in connection with a
modification agreement and which modification agreement is part of the Mortgage
File and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule,
and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof
except in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption agreement
is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or
modification has been approved by the issuer of any related Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy, Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and title insurance
policy, to the extent required by the related policies;
(f)
The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense
of
usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note
or
Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury,
and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been
asserted with respect thereto;
(g)
All
buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property
are insured by a Qualified Insurer, against loss by fire, hazards of extended
coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the Xxxxxx Mae or FHLMC
Guide, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of
this
Agreement. All such insurance policies are in full force and effect and contain
a standard mortgagee clause naming the Company and its successors in interest
and assigns as loss payee and such clause is still in effect and all premiums
due thereon have been paid. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of
1973, as amended, the Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy
meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration which policy conforms to Xxxxxx Xxx or FHLMC requirements, as
well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement.
Such policy was issued by a Qualified Insurer. The Mortgage obligates the
Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost
and
expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of
the
Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and
to
seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Neither the Company (nor any
prior originator or servicer of any of the Mortgage Loans) nor any Mortgagor
has
engaged in any act or omission which has impaired or would impair the coverage
of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for therein, or
the
validity and binding effect of either;
(h)
Each
Mortgage
Loan complies with, and the Company has complied with, applicable local, state
and federal laws, regulations and other requirements including, without
limitation, usury, equal credit opportunity, real estate settlement procedures,
the Federal Truth-In-Lending Act, disclosure laws and all applicable predatory
and abusive lending laws and consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, including without limitation, the receipt of interest by the owner
of
such Mortgage Loan, will not involve the violation of any such laws, rules
or
regulations. None of the Mortgage Loans are (a) Mortgage Loans subject to 12
CFR
Part 226.31, 12 CFR Part 226.32 or 226.34 of Regulation Z, the regulation
implementing TILA, which implements the Home Ownership and Equity Protection
Act
of 1994, as amended, or (b) except as may be provided in subparagraph (c) below,
classified and/or defined, as a “high cost”, “threshold”, “predatory” “high risk
home loan” or “covered” loan (or a similarly classified loan using different
terminology under a law imposing additional legal liability for mortgage loans
having high interest rates, points and or/fees) under any other applicable
state, federal or local law including, but not limited to, the States of
Georgia, New York, North Carolina, Arkansas, Kentucky or New Mexico, (c)
Mortgage Loans subject to the New Jersey Home Ownership Security Act of 2002
(the “Act”), unless such Mortgage Loan is a (1) “Home Loan” as defined in the
Act that is a first lien Mortgage Loan, which is not a “High Cost Home Loan” as
defined in the Act or (2) “Covered Home Loan” as defined in the Act that is a
first lien purchase money Mortgage Loan, which is not a High Cost Home Loan
under the Act, or (d) secured by Mortgaged Property in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts with a loan application date on or after November 7, 2004 that
refinances a mortgage loan that is less than sixty (60) months old, unless
such
Mortgage Loan (1) is on an investment property, (ii) meets the requirements
set
forth in the Code of Massachusetts Regulation (“CMR”), 209 CMR 53.04(1)(b), or
(iii) meets the requirements set forth in the 209 CMR 53.04(1)(c). In addition
to and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Mortgage Loan for
which the Mortgaged Property is located in New Jersey is a Home Loan as defined
in the Act that was made, arranged, or assigned by a person selling either
a
manufactured home or home improvements to the Mortgaged Property or was made
by
an originator to whom the Mortgagor was referred by any such seller. The Company
shall maintain in its possession, available for the Purchaser’s inspection, as
appropriate, and shall deliver to the Purchaser or its designee upon demand,
evidence of compliance with all such requirements;
(i)
The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated, in whole or in part,
or rescinded, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien
of
the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that
would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The
Company has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the
Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be
in default, nor has the Company waived any default resulting from any action
or
inaction by the Mortgagor;
(j)
The
Mortgage is a valid, existing, enforceable and perfected first lien on the
Mortgaged Property, including all improvements securing the Mortgage Note's
original principal balance subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy,
insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of
creditors. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of
any
other security interest or other interest or right thereto. Such lien is free
and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over
the
first lien of the Mortgage subject only to (1) the lien of non-delinquent
current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (2)
covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other
matters of the public record as of the date of recording which are acceptable
to
mortgage lending institutions generally and either (A) which are referred to
in
the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator or otherwise
considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or
(B)
which do not adversely affect the residential use or Appraised Value of the
Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, and (3) other matters to
which like properties are commonly subject which do not, individually or in
the
aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended
to be
provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the
related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or
equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage
Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing, enforceable and perfected first
lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein,
and
the Company has the full right to sell and assign the same to the
Purchaser;
(k)
The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each is
the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in
accordance with its terms subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy,
insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of
creditors, and the Company has taken all action necessary to transfer such
rights of enforceability to the Purchaser (as applicable). All parties to the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage
Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The Mortgage
Loan Documents are on forms acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and FHLMC. The Mortgage
Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties.
No
fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence
with
respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Company or the
Mortgagor, or on the part of any other party involved in the origination or
servicing of the Mortgage Loan. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been
fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder,
and
any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site
improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been
complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the
Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor
is
not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note
or
Mortgage;
(l)
The
Company is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness
evidenced by the Mortgage Note, and had full right to transfer and sell the
Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
participation interests, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest.
Upon
the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser, the Company will retain the
Mortgage File or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the
Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee in trust only for the purpose of servicing
and supervising the servicing of the Mortgage Loan. Immediately prior to the
transfer and assignment to the Purchaser, the Mortgage Loan, including the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not subject to an assignment, sale or
pledge to any person other than the Purchaser, and the Company had good and
marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof. Following the sale of the
Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of
any
encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or
security interest. The Company intends to relinquish all rights to possess,
control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except for purposes of servicing the
Mortgage Loan as set forth in this Agreement. After the related Closing Date,
the Company will not have any right to modify or alter the terms of the sale
of
the Mortgage Loan and the Company will not have any obligation or right to
repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as
provided in this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to by the Company and the
Purchaser;
(m)
Each
Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other
generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or
FHLMC (including adjustable rate endorsements), issued by a title insurer
acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or FHLMC and qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to
the
exceptions contained in (j)(1), (2) and (3) above) the Company, its successors
and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to adjustable rate
Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability
of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for
adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required
by
state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose
the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. The Company, its
successors and assigns, is the sole insured of such lender's title insurance
policy, such title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed to the
Purchaser (to the extent necessary) or the assignment to the Purchaser of the
Company's interest therein does not require the consent of or notification
to
the insurer and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force and effect
and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's
title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage,
including the Company, nor any Mortgagor, has done, by act or omission, anything
which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance
policy;
(n)
There
is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the
Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage
of
time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would
constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration; and neither
the Company, nor any prior mortgagee, has waived any default, breach, violation
or event of acceleration;
(o)
There
are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work,
labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give
rise
to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be
liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage;
(p)
All
improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining the
appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries
and
building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the
project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured
against by the title insurance policy referred to in clause (m) above and all
improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision
laws and ordinances;
(q)
Each
Mortgage Loan was originated by or for the Company pursuant to, and conforms
with, the Company’s underwriting guidelines attached as Exhibit
H
hereto.
The Mortgage Loan bears interest at an adjustable rate (if applicable) as set
forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and Monthly Payments under the
Mortgage Note are due and payable on the first day of each month. The Mortgage
contains the usual and enforceable provisions of the Company at the time of
origination for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount
of the Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the
prior
consent of the mortgagee thereunder;
(r)
The
Mortgaged Property is not subject to any material damage. At origination of
the
Mortgage Loan there was not, since origination of the Mortgage Loan there has
not been, and there currently is no proceeding pending for the total or partial
condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Company has not received
notification that any such proceedings are scheduled to commence at a future
date;
(s)
The
related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render
the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization
against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby,
including, (1) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by
trustee's sale, and (2) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead
or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the
right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to
foreclose the Mortgage;
(t)
If
the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly
qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has been properly
designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees
or
expenses, except as may be required by local law, are or will become payable
by
the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection
with
a trustee's sale or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(u)
The
Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed
prior to the final approval of the mortgage loan application by a Qualified
Appraiser, approved by the Company, who had no interest, direct or indirect,
in
the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose
compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage
Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Xxxxxx
Xxx or FHLMC and Title XI of the FIRREA and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated.
The
appraisal is in a form acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or FHLMC;
(v)
All
parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee,
assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held
and disposed of such interest, were) (A) in compliance with any and all
applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged
Property is located, and (B) (1) organized under the laws of such state, or
(2)
qualified to do business in such state, or (3) federal savings and loan
associations or national banks or a Federal Home Loan Bank or savings bank
having principal offices in such state, or (4) not doing business in such
state;
(w)
The
related Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except
the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any
applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to above and such
collateral does not serve as security for any other obligation;
(x)
The
Mortgagor has received and has executed, where applicable, all disclosure
materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of such mortgage
loans;
(y)
The
Mortgage Loan does not contain balloon or "graduated payment" features and
no
Mortgage Loan is subject to a buydown agreement or contains any buydown
provision;
(z)
The
Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy and, the Mortgagor is not insolvent and the
Company has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect to
the
Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit
standing that could reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the
Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become
delinquent, or materially adversely affect the value or marketability of the
Mortgage Loan;
(aa)
Each
Mortgage Loan bears interest based upon a thirty (30) day month and a three
hundred and sixty (360) day year. The Mortgage Loans have an original term
to
maturity of not more than forty (40) years, with interest payable in arrears
on
the first day of each month. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, on each
applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted to
equal
the sum of the Index, plus the applicable Margin; provided, that the Mortgage
Interest Rate, on each applicable Adjustment Date, will not increase by more
than the Initial Rate Cap or Periodic Rate Cap, as applicable. Over the term
of
each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Interest Rate will not exceed
such Mortgage Loan's Lifetime Rate Cap. Unless indicated on the related Mortgage
Loan Schedule, none of the Mortgage Loans are “interest-only”
Mortgage Loans or “negative amortization” Mortgage Loans.
With
respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, each Xxxx-xxxx Note requires
a
monthly payment which is suffi-cient (a) during the period prior to the first
adjust-ment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize the original
principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the
related Mortgage Interest Rate, and (b) during the period following each
Adjust-ment Date, to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as of
the
first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note
and
to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each
adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note provides that when the Mortgage
Interest Rate changes on an Adjustment Date, the then outstanding principal
balance will be reamortized over the remaining life of the Mortgage Loan. Unless
indicated on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, no Mortgage Loan contains
terms
or provi-sions which would result in negative amortization. None of the Mortgage
Loans contain a conversion feature which would cause the Mortgage Interest
Rate
to convert to a fixed interest rate. None of the Mortgage Loans are considered
agricultural loans;

In
the event the Mortgage Loan had an LTV at origination greater than 80.00%,
the
excess of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan over 75.0% of the Appraised
Value of the Mortgaged Property with respect to a Refinanced Mortgage Loan,
or
the lesser of the Appraised Value or the Sales Price of the Mortgaged Property
with respect to a purchase money Mortgage Loan was insured as to payment
defaults by a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer.
Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or
a
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is also subject to the Company’s captive
reinsurance agreement with the applicable insurer shall remain subject to such
captive reinsurance agreement between the Company and the applicable insurer,
provided that such insurer is a Qualified Insurer. Unless otherwise indicated
on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, no Mortgage Loan has an LTV over 95%. All
provisions of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy have been and are being
complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due
thereunder have been paid. No Mortgage Loan requires payment of such premiums,
in whole or in part, by the Purchaser. No action, inaction, or event has
occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion
from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, subject to state and federal law, and to
pay
all premiums and charges in connection therewith. No action has been taken
or
failed to be taken, on or prior to the Closing Date which has resulted or will
result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy (including, without limitation, any exclusions,
denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely
payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured)
whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence,
or fraud of the Company or the Mortgagor, or for any other reason under such
coverage. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on
the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium. Unless
otherwise indicated on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, none of the Mortgage
Loans are subject to “lender-paid”
mortgage insurance.
Any
Mortgage Loan subject to a Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates
the Company to maintain the Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and to
pay
all premiums and charges in connection therewith;
(ii)
The
Assignment is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the
laws
of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;
(jj)
None
of the Mortgage Loans are secured by an interest in a leasehold estate. The
Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the related Mortgage
Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached
single family residence erected thereon, or a townhouse, or a two-to four-family
dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or an
individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit
development; provided, however, that no residence or dwelling is a single parcel
of real property with a manufactured home not affixed to a permanent foundation,
or a mobile home. Any
condominium unit or planned unit development conforms with the Company’s
underwriting guidelines. As
of the
Origination Date, no portion of any Mortgaged Property was used for commercial
purposes, and since the Origination Date, no portion of any Mortgaged Property
has been, or currently is, used for commercial purposes;
(kk)
Payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after
the
funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. Each of the Mortgage
Loans will amortize fully by the stated maturity date;
(ll)
The
Mortgage Property was lawfully occupied under applicable law, and all
inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with
respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect
to
the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates
of
occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from
the appropriate authorities;
(mm)
There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged
Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation
is
an issue; there is no violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation
with respect to the Mortgaged Property; and the Company has not received any
notice of any environmental hazard on the Mortgaged Property and nothing further
remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule
or
regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said
property;

No
Mortgage Loan is a construction or rehabilitation Mortgage Loan or was made
to
facilitate the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property;
(pp) The
Mortgagor for each Mortgage Loan is a natural person;
(qq) None
of
the Mortgage Loans are Co-op Loans;
(rr)
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a prepayment penalty feature, each such
prepayment penalty is enforceable and will be enforced by the Company and each
prepayment penalty is permitted pursuant to federal, state and local law. No
Mortgage Loan will impose a prepayment penalty for a term in excess of five
years from the date such Mortgage Loan was originated. Except as otherwise
set
forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that
contains a prepayment penalty, such prepayment penalty is at least equal to
the
lesser of (A) the maximum amount permitted under applicable law and (B) six
months interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate on the amount prepaid
in
excess of 20% of the original principal balance of such Mortgage
Loan;
(ss)
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan either (i) the fair market value of the Mortgaged
Property securing such Mortgage Loan was at least equal to 80 percent of the
original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan at the time such Mortgage
Loan
was originated or (ii) (a) the Mortgage Loan is only secured by the Mortgage
Property and (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were
used to acquire or to improve or protect the Mortgage Property. For the purposes
of the preceding sentence, if the Mortgage Loan has been significantly modified
other than as a result of a default or a reasonable foreseeable default, the
modified Mortgage Loan will be viewed as having been originated on the date
of
the modification;
(tt)
The
Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of HUD
pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and
loan
association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company
or similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state
authority;
(uu)
None
of the Mortgage Loans are simple interest Mortgage Loans and none of the
Mortgaged Properties are timeshares;
(vv)
All
of the terms of the Mortgage pertaining to interest rate adjustments, payment
adjustments and adjustments of the outstanding principal balance are
enforceable, all such adjustments have been properly made, including the mailing
of required notices, and such adjustments do not and will not affect the
priority of the Mortgage lien. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which has
passed its initial Adjustment Date, the Company has performed an audit of the
Mortgage Loan to determine whether all interest rate adjustments have been
made
in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage;
(ww)
Each
Mortgage Note, each Mortgage, each Assignment and any other documents required
pursuant to this Agreement to be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee,
or
its assignee for each Mortgage Loan, have been, on or before the related Closing
Date, delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, or its assignee;

There is no Mortgage Loan that was originated on or after October 1, 2002 and
before March 7, 2003, which is secured by property located in the State of
Georgia;
(yy)
No
proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to finance single-premium credit
insurance policies;
(zz)
No
Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product offered
by the Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher cost product designed for
less creditworthy Mortgagors, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan’s
origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit history
and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost credit product then offered by the
Mortgage Loan’s originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator.
If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for a
lower-cost credit product then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate of
the
Mortgage Loan’s originator, the Mortgage Loan’s originator referred the
Mortgagor’s application to such affiliate for underwriting
consideration;
(aaa)
The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage
Loan employs objective mathematical principles which relate the Mortgagor’s
income, assets and liabilities (except for any Mortgage Loan which does not
require statement of income or assets) to the proposed payment and such
underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity
in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such credit
extension. Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of
origination (application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to
make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan;
(bbb)
With respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting
imposition of a premium upon a prepayment prior to maturity: (i) prior to the
loan’s origination, the Mortgagor agreed to such premium in exchange for a
monetary benefit, including but not limited to a rate or fee reduction, (ii)
prior to the loan’s origination, the Mortgagor was offered the option of
obtaining a mortgage loan that did not require payment of such a premium, (iii)
the prepayment premium is disclosed to the Mortgagor in the loan documents
pursuant to applicable state and federal law, and (iv) notwithstanding any
state
or federal law to the contrary, the Company shall not impose such prepayment
premium in any instance when the Mortgage is accelerated as the result of the
Mortgagor’s default in making the loan payments;
(ccc)
No Mortgagor was required to purchase any credit life, disability, accident
or
health insurance product as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit.

Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single-premium credit life, disability, accident
or
health insurance policy in connection with the origination of the Mortgage
Loan;

Company will
transmit full-file credit reporting data for each Mortgage Loan pursuant to
the
Xxxxxx Xxx Selling Guide and that for each Mortgage Loan, the Company agrees
it
shall report one of the following statuses each month as follows: new
origination, current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.), foreclosed, or
charged-off;
(eee)
With
respect to any Mortgage Loan originated on or after August 1, 2004, neither
the
related Mortgage nor the related Mortgage Note requires the Mortgagor to submit
to arbitration to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in any way
to
the Mortgage Loan;
(fff)
No Mortgage Loan is secured by Mortgaged Property in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts with a loan application date on or after November 7, 2004 that
refinances a mortgage loan that is less than sixty (60) months old, unless
such
Mortgage Loan (1) is on an investment property, (ii) meets the requirements
set
forth in the Code of Massachusetts Regulation (“CMR”), 209 CMR 53.04(1)(b), or
(iii) meets the requirements set forth in the 209 CMR 53.04(1)(c);
(ggg)
For any Mortgage Loan with Mortgaged Property located in Texas which is a second
lien and the interest rate is in excess of 10% where terms of the Mortgage
Note
contain a provision for which the Mortgagor may be entitled to prepaid interest
upon payoff, no Mortgagor paid any administrative fees, points, or loan
origination fees which would actually result in any prepaid interest being
due
the Mortgagor under the terms of the Mortgage Note; and
(hhh)
The Company has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and
regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001
(collectively, the Anti-Money Laundering Laws"). The Company has
established an anti-money laundering compliance program as required by the
Anti-Money Laundering Laws and has conducted the requisite due diligence in
connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan for the purposes of the
Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Company further represents that it
takes reasonable efforts to determine whether any Mortgagor appears on any
list of blocked or prohibited parties designated by the U.S. Department of
Treasury.
Section
3.03 Repurchase;
Substitution.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery
of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Purchaser, or its designee, and shall
inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or
qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination,
or
lack of examination, of any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by either the Company
or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and
warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage
Loans or the interest of the Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. The
Company shall have a period of sixty (60) days from the earlier of its discovery
or its receipt of notice of any such breach within which to correct or cure
such
breach. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that if any such breach is
not
corrected or cured within such sixty day period, the Company shall, at the
Purchaser's option and not later than ninety (90) days of its discovery or
its
receipt of notice of such breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the
Repurchase Price or, with the Purchaser's prior consent and at Purchaser’s sole
option, substitute a Mortgage Loan as provided below. In the event that any
such
breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01,
and such breach is not cured within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either
discovery by or notice to the Company of such breach, all Mortgage Loans shall,
at the option of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase
Price. Any such repurchase shall be accomplished by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to Purchaser in the amount of the Repurchase Price.
If
the
Company is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section
3.03, the Company may, with the Purchaser's prior consent and at the Purchaser’s
sole option, within ninety (90) days from the related Closing Date, remove
such
defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and substitute another
mortgage loan for such defective Mortgage Loan, in lieu of repurchasing such
defective Mortgage Loan. Any substitute Mortgage Loan is subject to the
Purchaser acceptability. Any substituted Loans will comply with the
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement as of the
substitution date.
The
Company shall amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal
of the removed Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and the substitution of such
substitute Mortgage Loan therefor. Upon such amendment, the Purchaser shall
review the Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute Mortgage
Loan. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the substitute
Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal
Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the
Purchaser and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for which
the
substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such
month shall be the property of the Company. The principal payment on a
substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall
be the property of the Company and the principal payment on the Mortgage Loan
for which the substitution is made due on such date shall be the property of
the
Purchaser.
For
any
month in which the Company is permitted to substitute one or more substitute
Mortgage Loans, the Company will determine the amount (if any) by which the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance (after application of the principal portion
of all scheduled payments due in the month of substitution) of all the
substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution is less then the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance (after application of the principal portion
of the scheduled payment due in the month of substitution) of the such replaced
Mortgage Loan. An amount equal to the aggregate of such deficiencies described
in the preceding sentence for any Remittance Date shall be deposited into the
Custodial Account by the Company on the related Determination Date in the month
following the calendar month during which the substitution occurred.
It
is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Company set forth in this
Section 3.03 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan,
and to indemnify the Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, constitute the sole
remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations
and warranties. If the Company fails to repurchase or substitute for a defective
Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.03, or fails to cure a defective
Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction in accordance with
this
Section 3.03, or to indemnify the Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, that
failure shall be an Event of Default and the Purchaser shall be entitled to
pursue all remedies available in this Agreement as a result thereof. No
provision of this paragraph shall affect the rights of the Purchaser to
terminate this Agreement for cause, as set forth in Sections 10.01 and
11.01.
Any
cause
of action against the Company relating to or arising out of the breach of any
representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall accrue
as to
any Mortgage Loan upon (i) the earlier of discovery of such breach by the
Company or notice thereof by the Purchaser to the Company, (ii) failure by
the
Company to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above,
and (iii) demand upon the Company by the Purchaser for compliance with this
Agreement.
In
the
event that any Mortgage Loan is held by a REMIC, notwithstanding any contrary
provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not
in
default or as to which no default is imminent, no substitution pursuant to
Subsection 3.03 shall be made after the applicable REMIC's "start up day" (as
defined in Section 860G(a) (9) of the Code), unless the Company has obtained
an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not (i) result
in
the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of such REMIC (as defined
in Section 860F of the Code) or otherwise subject the REMIC to tax, or (ii)
cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time.

ARTICLE
IV
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section
4.01 Company
to Act as Servicer.
The
Company, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the related Term Sheet
and
with Accepted Servicing Practices, and shall have full power and authority,
acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with
such servicing and administration which the Company may deem necessary or
desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term
Sheet and with Accepted Servicing Practices and exercise the same care that
it
customarily employs for its own account. Except as set forth in this Agreement
and the related Term Sheet, the Company shall service the Mortgage Loans in
strict compliance with the servicing provisions of the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides
(special servicing option), which include, but are not limited to, provisions
regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan
payments, the payment of taxes, insurance and other charges, the maintenance
of
hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of mortgage
impairment insurance, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions
insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged Property, the maintenance
of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies, insurance claims, the title, management and disposition of REO
Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation
reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property,
the
transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Files, annual
statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event of any
conflict, inconsistency or discrepancy between any of the servicing provisions
of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and any of the servicing provisions
of the Xxxxxx Mae Guides, the provisions of this Agreement and the related
Term
Sheet shall control and be binding upon the Purchaser and the Company.
Consistent
with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, the Company may
waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the
postponement of any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor
if in the Company's reasonable and prudent determination such waiver,
modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the
Purchaser, provided, however, that unless the Company has obtained the prior
written consent of the Purchaser, the Company shall not permit any modification
with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate,
defer for more than ninety (90) days or forgive any payment of principal or
interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for
actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage
Loan. In the event of any such modification which has been agreed to in writing
by the Purchaser and which permits the deferral of interest or principal
payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Company shall, on the Business Day
immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such
principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial
Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04, the difference
between (a) such month's principal and one month's interest at the Mortgage
Loan
Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b)
the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Company shall be entitled to reimbursement
for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to
Section 4.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute
and
deliver on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, all instruments of satisfaction
or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect
to
the Mortgaged Properties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the
Company may not enter into a forbearance agreement or similar arrangement with
respect to any Mortgage Loan which runs more than 180 days after the first
delinquent Due Date. Any such agreement shall be approved by the Purchaser
and,
if required, by the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer and Lender Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer, if required.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Mortgage Loan becomes subject
to a Pass-Through Transfer, the Company (a) with respect to such Mortgage Loan,
shall not permit any modification with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would
change the Mortgage Interest Rate and (b) shall not (unless the Mortgagor is
in
default with respect to such Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment
of the Company, reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any modification, waiver
or amendment of any term of such Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect an
exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code
(or
Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (ii) cause any REMIC to fail
to
qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited
transactions” or “contributions” after the startup date under the REMIC
Provisions.
Prior
to
taking any action with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject to a Pass-Through
Transfer, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the
Company will obtain an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the trustee in such
Pass-Through Transfer with respect to whether such action could result in the
imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on
prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the
tax
on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code)(either
such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”), and the Company shall not take any such
actions as to which it has been advised that an Adverse REMIC Event could
occur.
The
Company shall not permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of
Section 860G of the Code) in any REMIC. The Company shall not enter into any
arrangement by which a REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for
services nor permit a REMIC to receive any income from assets other than
“qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted
investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
In
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Company shall employ
Accepted Servicing Practices, giving due consideration to the Purchaser's
reliance on the Company. Unless a different time period is stated in this
Agreement or the related Term Sheet, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have
given
consent in connection with a particular matter if the Purchaser does not
affirmatively grant or deny consent within five (5) Business Days from the
date
the Purchaser receives a second written request for consent for such matter
from
the Company as servicer.
The
Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer on behalf of the Company
provided that the Subservicer is an entity that engages in the business of
servicing loans, and in either case shall be authorized to transact business,
and licensed to service mortgage loans, in the state or states where the related
Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent
required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations
hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement, and in either case shall be
a
FHLMC or Xxxxxx Xxx approved mortgage servicer in good standing, and no event
has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage,
which
would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders
imposed by Xxxxxx Mae or for seller/servicers imposed by Xxxxxx Xxx or FHLMC,
or
which would require notification to Xxxxxx Mae or FHLMC. In addition, each
Subservicer will obtain and preserve its qualifications to do business as a
foreign corporation and its licenses to service mortgage loans, in each
jurisdiction in which such qualifications and/or licenses are or shall be
necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or
any
of the Mortgage Loans and to perform or cause to be performed its duties under
the related Subservicing Agreement. The Company may perform any of its servicing
responsibilities hereunder or may cause the Subservicer to perform any such
servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Company of the
Subservicer shall not release the Company from any of its obligations hereunder
and the Company shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions
of
the Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the
Company. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses of the Subservicer from
its
own funds, and the Subservicer's fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee. The
Company shall notify the Purchaser promptly in writing upon the appointment
of
any Subservicer.
At
the
cost and expense of the Company, without any right of reimbursement from the
Custodial Account, the Company shall be entitled to terminate the rights and
responsibilities of the Subservicer and arrange for any servicing
responsibilities to be performed by a successor subservicer meeting the
requirements in the preceding paragraph; provided, however, that nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Company, at the
Company's option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself.
In
the event that the Company's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement
are terminated pursuant to Section 4.03, 4.13, 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 and if
requested to do so by the Purchaser, the Company shall at its own cost and
expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer effective
as of the date of termination of the Company. The Company shall pay all fees,
expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and
responsibilities of the Subservicer from the Company's own funds without
reimbursement from the Purchaser.
Notwithstanding
any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements
between the Company and the Subservicer or any reference herein to actions
taken
through the Subservicer or otherwise, the Company shall not be relieved of
its
obligations to the Purchaser and shall be obligated to the same extent and
under
the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering
the Mortgage Loans. The Company shall be entitled to enter into an agreement
with the Subservicer for indemnification of the Company by the Subservicer
and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification. The Company will indemnify and hold the Purchaser harmless
from
any loss, liability or expense arising out of its use of a Subservicer to
perform any of its servicing duties, responsibilities and obligations
hereunder.
Any
Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the
Mortgage Loans involving the Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the
Subservicer and the Company alone, and the Purchaser shall have no obligations,
duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer including no obligation,
duty or liability of the Purchaser to pay the Subservicer's fees and expenses.
For purposes of distributions and advances by the Company pursuant to this
Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage
Loan when the Subservicer has received such payment.
Section
4.02 Collection
of Mortgage Loan Payments.
Continuously
from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases to be subject
to
this Agreement, the Company will proceed diligently to collect all payments
due
under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall,
to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, Accepted
Servicing Practices, and the terms and provisions of any related Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, follow
such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the
Company will take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual escrow
payments, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become
due and payable, so that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be
sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and
payable.
In
no
event will the Company waive its right to any prepayment penalty or premium
without the prior written consent of the Purchaser and the Company will use
diligent efforts to collect same when due except as otherwise provided in the
prepayment penalty provisions provided in the Mortgage Loan Documents.
Section
4.03 Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage.
The
Company shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the
Company would use in servicing loans for its own account, consistent with
Accepted Servicing Practices, any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and the best interest of the Purchaser,
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 pursuant to Section 4.01. Foreclosure or comparable proceedings shall
be initiated within ninety (90) days of default for Mortgaged Properties for
which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments, subject to state and federal law and regulation. The Company shall
use
its best efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as
will
maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking into
account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The
foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which a Mortgaged
Property shall have suffered damage, the Company shall not be required to expend
its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine
in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of
liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser after reimbursement
to
itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by
the
Company through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related
Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. The Company shall obtain
prior approval of the Purchaser as to repair or restoration expenses in excess
of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). The Company shall notify the Purchaser in
writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings and not less than five
(5) days prior to the acceptance or rejection of any offer of reinstatement.
The
Company shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any
such proceedings or functions; provided, however, that it shall be entitled
to
reimbursement thereof from the related property, as contemplated in Section
4.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection
with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event
the Company has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is
contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser
otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged
Property, such an inspection or review is to be conducted by a qualified
inspector at the Purchaser's expense. Upon completion of the inspection, the
Company shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the
environmental inspection. After reviewing the environmental inspection report,
the Purchaser shall determine how the Company shall proceed with respect to
the
Mortgaged Property.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's
sole option, terminate the Company as servicer of any Mortgage Loan which
becomes ninety (90) days or greater delinquent in payment of a scheduled Monthly
Payment, without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided
that the Company shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed
for any unreimbursed Monthly Advances of the Company's funds made pursuant
to
Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in
each
case relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such delinquent Mortgage Loan
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the
event
of any such termination, the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply
to
said termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect
to
such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser or its designee.
In
the
event that a Mortgage Loan becomes part of a REMIC, and becomes REO Property,
such property shall be disposed of by the Company, with the consent of the
Purchaser as required pursuant to this Agreement, before the close of the third
taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an
REO
Property, unless the Company provides to the trustee under such REMIC an Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that the holding of such REO Property subsequent to
the
close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage
Loan became an REO Property, will not result in the imposition of taxes on
"prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause
the
transaction to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that certificates are
outstanding. The Company shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each such
REO Property for the certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt
disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such property to fail
to
qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(E)
of
the Code, or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to
taxation under the REMIC provisions of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to
sell
such property, the Company shall either itself or through an agent selected
by
the Company, protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such
an extent as is customary in the locality where such property is located.
Additionally, the Company shall perform the tax withholding and reporting
related to Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code.
Section
4.04 Establishment
of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts.
The
Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant
to
each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general
assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts. The
Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds shall be deposited in
the
Custodial Account within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt, and shall at all
times be insured by the FDIC up to the FDIC insurance limits, or must be
invested in Permitted Investments for the benefit of the Purchaser. Funds
deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance
with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced
by a
letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit
B
hereto.
The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on
the
Closing Date, and upon the request of any subsequent Purchaser.
The
Company shall deposit in the Custodial Account on a daily basis, and retain
therein the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent
to the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable

all
Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to
Sections 4.08, 4.10 and 4.11, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow

or
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices,
the
Mortgage Loan Documents or applicable law;

with
respect to each full or partial Principal Prepayment, any Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls, to the extent of the Company’s aggregate Servicing Fee received with
respect to the related Prepayment Period;
(ix)
any
amounts required to be deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 4.10 in
connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy,
such deposit shall be made from the Company's own funds, without reimbursement
therefor; and
(x)
any
amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section
4.01, 4.13 or 6.02.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive,
it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges and assumption fees,
to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Company
in
the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial
Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Company
and the Company shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from
the
Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05(iv). The Purchaser shall not be
responsible for any losses suffered with respect to investment of funds in
the
Custodial Account.
Section
4.05 Permitted
Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.
The
Company may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the
following purposes:
(i) to
make
payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in
Section 5.01;
(ii)
to
reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Company's right to reimburse itself
pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related
Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing
Fees) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made,
it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Company's
right
thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the
Company is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 3.03,
the
Company's right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to
the
Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such Section and all other amounts
required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage
Loan;
(iii)
to
reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unpaid Servicing

Section
4.06 Establishment
of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts.
The
Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant
to
each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from
any
of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or
more
Escrow Accounts. The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds
deposited in each Escrow Account shall at all times be insured in a manner
to
provide maximum insurance under the insurance limitations of the FDIC, or must
be invested in Permitted Investments. Funds
deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance
with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by
a
letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit
C.
The
original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the
Closing Date, and upon request to any subsequent purchaser.
The
Company shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, and
retain therein:
(i) all
Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose
of
effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this
Agreement;

be
entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account
by
the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by
law

shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that

Section
4.08 Payment
of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies; Collections Thereunder.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company shall maintain accurate records
reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and
other
charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the
status of primary mortgage insurance premiums and fire and hazard insurance
coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of
such
charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior
to
the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for
securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of
the
Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated
by the Company in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the
terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does
not provide for Escrow Payments, the Company shall determine that any such
payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. The
Company assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills
and
shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's
faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments
and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.
The
Company will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a Qualified
Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein
required. Such coverage will be terminated only with the approval of the
Purchaser, until the LTV of the related Mortgage Loan is reduced to that amount
for which Xxxxxx Mae no longer requires such insurance to be maintained, or
as
required by applicable law or regulation. The Company will not cancel or refuse
to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to be kept
in
force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or
nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer.
The
Company shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under
any
applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Company would
have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution
agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.01, the
Company shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such
assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such
policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as
a
condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated
as a
result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company shall obtain
a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy as provided above.
In
connection with its activities as servicer, the Company agrees to prepare and
present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer under
any
Private Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the
terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary
to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to
Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Company under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited
in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
4.05.
Section
4.09 Transfer
of Accounts.
The
Company may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different
Eligible Account from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon
obtaining the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent will not
be
unreasonably withheld.
Section
4.10 Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance.
The
Company shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard
insurance with extended coverage as is acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or FHLMC and
customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount
which
is equal to the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan, and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient
to
prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If
required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each Mortgage
Loan shall be covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements
of
the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in effect with
an
insurance carrier acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or FHLMC, in an amount representing
coverage not less than the lesser of (i) the outstanding principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing
such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available
under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time
during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Company determines in accordance
with
applicable law and pursuant to the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides that a Mortgaged Property
is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance
or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Company shall notify the related
Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and
if
said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within
forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Company shall immediately
force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf. The Company
shall also maintain on each REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with
extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable
value of the improvements which are a part of such property, and, to the extent
required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as
amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected
by the Company under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in
the
Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged
Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with
Accepted Servicing Practices, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. It is understood and agreed
that
no other additional insurance need be required by the Company of the Mortgagor
or maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than
pursuant to this Agreement, the Xxxxxx Mae Guides or such applicable state
or
federal laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with
standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Company and its successors
and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in
coverage to the Company. The Company shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's
freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent; provided,
however, that the Company shall not accept any such insurance policies from
insurance companies unless such companies are Qualified Insurers.
Section
4.11 Maintenance
of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.
In
the
event that the Company shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by
a
Qualified Insurer insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans,
then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the
amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other
requirements of Section 4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied
its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10, it being understood and agreed
that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Company
shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related
Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and
there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy,
deposit in the Custodial 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 Company agrees to prepare
and
present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in
a
timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of
the
Purchaser, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified
true copy of such policy and shall use its best efforts to obtain a statement
from the insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated
or
materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the
Purchaser.
Section
4.12 Fidelity
Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.
The
Company shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an
errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible
companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity
with regard to the Mortgage Loan to handle funds, money, documents and papers
relating to the Mortgage Loan. The Fidelity Bond shall be in the form of the
Financial Institution Bond Form A and shall protect and insure the Company
against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement and fraud of such
persons. The errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Company
against losses arising out of errors and omissions and negligent acts of such
persons. Such errors and omissions insurance shall also protect and insure
the
Company against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any insurance
policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction
of
a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness
secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12 requiring the Fidelity Bond
or errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Company from
its
duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage
under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least equal to the
corresponding amounts required by Xxxxxx Xxx in the Xxxxxx Mae Guides. Upon
request by the Purchaser, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a
certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity
Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement
from
the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall
in
no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days' prior
written notice to the Purchaser. The Company shall notify the Purchaser within
five (5) business days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance
policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. Upon request
by
the Purchaser, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with an insurance
certificate certifying coverage under this Section 4.12, and will provide an
update to such certificate upon request, or upon renewal or material
modification of coverage.
Section
4.13 Title,
Management and Disposition of REO Property.
In
the
event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by
deed
in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the
name of the Purchaser or its designee, or in the event the Purchaser or its
designee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the
state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under
the "doing business" or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed
or
certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as
shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Company from
an
attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property
is
located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser
shall
acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit
of the Purchaser.
The
Company shall notify the Purchaser in accordance with the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides
of
each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition (and, in any event,
shall
provide notice of the consummation of any foreclosure sale within three (3)
Business Days of the date the Company receives notice of such consummation),
together with a copy of the drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion of
the
Mortgaged Property obtained in connection with such acquisition, and thereafter
assume the responsibility for marketing such REO property in accordance with
Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Company shall continue to provide
certain administrative services to the Purchaser relating to such REO Property
as set forth in this Section 4.13. No Servicing Fee shall be assessed or
otherwise accrue on any REO Property from and after the date on which it becomes
an REO Property.
The
Company shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Company, and
in
accordance with the Xxxxxx Mae Guides manage, conserve, protect and operate
each
REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and
operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner
that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed.
The
Company shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the
acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected
at least monthly thereafter or more frequently as required by the circumstances.
The Company shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such
inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and copies
thereof shall be forwarded by the Company to the Purchaser.
The
Company shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as
possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within three (3) years
after title has been taken to such REO Property. No REO Property shall be
marketed for less than the Appraised Value, without the prior consent of the
Purchaser. No REO Property shall be sold for less than ninety-five percent
(95%)
of its Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. All requests
for
reimbursement of Servicing Advances shall be in accordance with the Xxxxxx
Xxx
Guides. The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Company
at
such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Company deems to be
in
the best interests of the Purchaser (subject to the above conditions) only
with
the prior written consent of the Purchaser. The Company shall provide monthly
reports to the Purchaser in reference to the status of the marketing of the
REO
Properties.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may, at the Purchaser's
sole option, terminate the Company as servicer of any such REO Property without
payment of any termination fee with respect thereto; provided that the Company
shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed for any
unreimbursed advances of the Company's funds made pursuant to Section 5.03
and
any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in each case relating
to
the Mortgage Loan underlying such REO Property notwithstanding anything to
the
contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the event of any such termination, the
provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply to said termination and the
transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such REO Property to
the
Purchaser or its designee. Within five (5) Business Days of any such
termination, the Company shall, if necessary convey such property to the
Purchaser and shall further provide the Purchaser with the following information
regarding the subject REO Property: the related drive by appraisal or brokers
price opinion, and copies of any related Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy
claims. In addition, within five (5) Business Days, the Company shall provide

commencing with the day following the Business Day such payment was due and
ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made to the Purchaser,

deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default

the Company. On each Remittance Date, the Company shall provide a remittance
report detailing all amounts being remitted pursuant to this Section
5.01.
Section
5.02 Statements

In

not allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, adjusted to the Mortgage
Loan Remittance Rate, which were due on a Mortgage Loan and delinquent at the
close of business on the related Determination Date.
The
Company's obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan
will
continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full
of
the Mortgage Loan, or through the Remittance Date prior to the date on which
the
Mortgaged Property liquidates (including Insurance Proceeds, proceeds from
the
sale of REO Property or Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage
Loan
unless the Company deems such advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance. In such
event, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser an Officer's Certificate
of
the Company to the effect that an officer of the Company has reviewed the
related Mortgage File and has made the reasonable determination that any
additional advances are nonrecoverable.

Company
and the Purchaser. The Company shall also provide reports on the status of
REO
Property containing such information as the Purchaser may reasonably

GENERAL
SERVICING PROCEDURES
Section
6.01 Assumption
Agreements.
The
Company will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective
conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether by absolute
conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains
or
is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise
its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale"
clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Company
shall
not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage
Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten
to
impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or
Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Company reasonably
believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause,
the Company, will enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom
the
Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant
to
which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent
permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Where
an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Company, with the
prior consent of the Purchaser and the primary mortgage insurer, if any, is
authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person
to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed
pursuant to which the original mortgagor is released from liability and such
Person is substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage
Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an
assumption agreement.
In
connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Company
shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the Company. With
respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest
Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the amount of the Monthly Payment
and
the maturity date may not be changed (except pursuant to the terms of the
Mortgage Note). If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such
underwriting criteria, the Company diligently shall, to the extent permitted
by
the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity
of the Mortgage Loan. The Company shall notify the Purchaser that any such
substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by
forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability
or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage
File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File
to
the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part
thereof. All fees collected by the Company for entering into an assumption
or
substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Company.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this
Agreement, the Company shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any
other
violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage
Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Company may be restricted
by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section
6.01, the term "assumption" is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged
Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or
substitution of liability agreement.
Section
6.02 Satisfaction
of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Company of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes, the Company will immediately notify the Purchaser by a
certification, which certification shall include a statement to the effect
that
all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which
are
required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04
have
been or will be so deposited, of a Servicing Officer and shall request execution
of any document necessary to satisfy the Mortgage Loan and delivery to it of
the
portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser or its designee. The
Purchaser shall no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of such
certification and request, release or cause to be released to the Company,
the
related Mortgage Loan Documents and, upon its receipt of such documents, the
Company shall promptly prepare and deliver to the Purchaser the requisite
satisfaction or release. No later than five (5) Business Days following its
receipt of such satisfaction or release, the Purchaser shall deliver, or cause
to be delivered, to the Company the release or satisfaction properly executed
by
the owner of record of the applicable mortgage or its duly appointed attorney
in
fact. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction
or
deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account.
In
the
event the Company satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained
payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it
otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under the mortgage
instruments, the Company, upon written demand, shall remit within two (2)
Business Days to the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of the
related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Company
shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance insuring
the
Company against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not
satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the Mortgage
Loan, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the Purchaser
shall, upon request of the Company and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing
receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the portion of the Mortgage
File
held by the Purchaser to the Company. Such servicing receipt shall obligate
the
Company to return the related Mortgage documents to the Purchaser when the
need
therefor by the Company no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been
liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have
been
deposited in the Custodial Account or the Mortgage File or such document has
been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official
as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or
other
proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially
or
non-judicially, and the Company has delivered to the Purchaser a certificate
of
a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to
which
such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes
of
such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating
that
such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released
by
the Purchaser to the Company.
Section
6.03 Servicing
Compensation.
As
compensation for its services hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to
withdraw from the Custodial Account (to the extent of interest payments
collected on the Mortgage Loans) or to retain from interest payments collected
on the Mortgage Loans, the amounts provided for as the Company's Servicing
Fee,
subject to payment of compensating interest on Principal Prepayments as capped
by the Servicing Fee pursuant to Section 5.01(iii). Additional servicing
compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 6.01, and
late payment charges or otherwise shall be retained by the Company to the extent
not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. The Company shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing
activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except
as specifically provided for.
Section
6.04 [Reserved]

6.05 [Reserved]
Section
6.06 Purchaser's
Right to Examine the Company Records.

Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit upon reasonable notice
to

under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records, documentation
or other information of the Company, or held by another for the Company or
on
its behalf or otherwise, which relates to the performance or observance by
the
Company of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.
The
Company shall provide to the Purchaser and any supervisory agents or examiners
representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over
the
Purchaser, including but not limited to OTS, FDIC and other similar entities,
access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans in the possession
of
the Company which may be required by any applicable regulations. Such access
shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request, during normal
business hours and at the offices of the Company, and in accordance with the
FDIC, OTS, or any other similar federal or state regulations, as
applicable.

the
defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith,

Any
Person into which the Company may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation

expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Company may, with the consent
of the Purchaser, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or
desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties
hereto. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action
