is not so delivered, the Seller will provide a copy of such Title Insurance
Policy to the Trustee, or to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee no later
than ninety (90) days of the receipt by the Seller of the recorded documents
from the applicable public recording office.
(f) For
Mortgage Loans (if any) that 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, herewith delivers to the Trustee, or to the Custodian on behalf
of
the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate which shall include a statement to the
effect that all amounts received in connection with such prepayment that are
required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.06
have
been so deposited. All original documents that are not delivered to the Trustee
or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall be held by the Servicer[s]
in
trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.
Section
2.02. Acceptance
of Trust Fund; Review of Documentation.
(a) Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.01, the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the
assets transferred by the Depositor of the assets included in the Trust Fund
and
has directed that the documents referred to in Section 2.01 and all other assets
included in the definition of “Trust Fund” be delivered to the Trustee (or the
Custodian) on its behalf.
40
The
Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt by it or by
the
Custodian on its behalf of the Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans
listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, subject to review thereof by the Trustee,
or by the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, under this Section 2.02. The
Trustee, or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, will execute and deliver
to
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer[s] (and the Trustee if
delivered by the Custodian) on the Closing Date an Initial Certification in
the
form annexed hereto as Exhibit A-1.
(b) Within
90
days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee, will, for the benefit of Certificateholders, review each Mortgage
File
to ascertain that all required documents set forth in Section 2.01 have been
received and appear on their face to contain the requisite signatures by or
on
behalf of the respective parties thereto, and shall deliver to the Depositor,
the Seller (and the Trustee if delivered by the Custodian) an Interim
Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A-2 to the effect that,
as
to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any
Mortgage Loan prepaid in full or any specifically identified in such
certification as not covered by such certification), (i) all of the applicable
documents specified in Section 2.01(c) are in its possession and (ii) such
documents have been reviewed by it and appear to relate to such Mortgage Loan.
The Trustee, or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, shall determine whether
such documents are executed and endorsed, but shall be under no duty or
obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that the same are valid, binding,
legally effective, properly endorsed, genuine, enforceable or appropriate for
the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or are in
recordable form or that they are other than what they purport to be on their
face. Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall have any responsibility for
verifying the genuineness or the legal effectiveness of or authority for any
signatures of or on behalf of any party or endorser or for the perfection or
priority of any document.
(c) If
in the
course of the review described in paragraph (b) above the Trustee discovers
any
document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File that is missing,
does not appear regular on its face (i.e.,
is
mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered) or appears
to
be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule,
as
applicable (each, a “Material Defect”), the Trustee or the Custodian,
discovering such Material Defect shall identify the Mortgage Loan to which
such
Material Defect relates in the Interim Certification delivered to the Depositor
and the Master Servicer. Within 90 days of its receipt of such notice, the
Seller shall be required to cure such Material Defect (and, in such event,
the
Seller shall provide the Trustee and the Custodian with an Officer’s Certificate
confirming that such cure has been effected). If the Seller does not so cure
such Material Defect, if a loss has been incurred with respect to such Mortgage
Loan that would, if such Mortgage Loan were not purchased from the Trust Fund,
constitute a Realized Loss, and such loss is attributable to the failure of
the
Seller to cure such Material Defect, the Seller shall repurchase the related
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price. A loss shall be deemed
to be attributable to the failure of the Seller to cure a Material Defect if,
as
determined by the Seller acting in good faith, absent such Material Defect,
such
loss would not have been incurred. The Seller may, in lieu of repurchasing
a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02, substitute for such Mortgage Loan
a
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan subject to the provisions of Section 3.03.
The failure of the Trustee or the Custodian to deliver the Interim Certification
within 90 days after the Closing Date shall not affect or relieve the Seller
of
its obligation to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02
or
any other Section of this Agreement requiring the repurchase of Mortgage Loans
from the Trust Fund.
41
(d) Within
180 days following the Closing Date, the Trustee, or the Custodian, shall
deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Servicer[s] (and the
Trustee if delivered by the Custodian) a Final Certification substantially
in
the form attached as Exhibit A-3 evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage
Files in its possession or control, with any exceptions noted
thereto.
(e) Nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute an assumption by the Trust
Fund, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificateholders of any unsatisfied
duty, claim or other liability on any Mortgage Loan or to any
Mortgagor.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, each of the parties hereto
acknowledges that the Custodian shall perform the applicable review of the
Mortgage Loans and respective certifications thereof as provided in the
Custodial Agreement.
(g) Upon
execution of this Agreement, the Depositor hereby delivers to the Trustee and
the Trustee acknowledges a receipt of the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement.
(h) For
purposes of the determinations required to be made by the Trustee or the
Custodian pursuant to paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section 2.02, the
Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, shall be entitled to conclusively
rely
upon the diskette, tape or other electronic media provided by or on behalf
of
the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loans as to whether (i) any guarantee
was executed in connection with any Mortgage Loan, (ii) any assumption,
modification or substitution agreement was executed in connection with any
Mortgage Loan, (iii) primary mortgage guaranty insurance is required with
respect to any Mortgage Loan or (iv) any security agreement or equivalent
instrument was executed in connection with any Mortgage Loan.
Section
2.03. Grant
Clause.
(a) It
is
intended that the conveyance by the Depositor to the Trustee of the Mortgage
Loans, as provided for in Section 2.01 be construed as a sale by the Depositor
to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Fund for
the
benefit of the Certificateholders. Further, it is not intended that any such
conveyance be deemed to be a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor
to
the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However,
in
the event that the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor
or if
for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest
in
the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Fund, then it is intended
that
(a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the
meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC (or the Relevant UCC if not
the
New York UCC); (b) the conveyances provided for in Section 2.01 shall be deemed
to be (1) a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in
all
of the Depositor’s right (including the power to convey title thereto), title
and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) the
Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related
insurance policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage Files, (B)
all amounts payable pursuant to the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms
thereof and (C) any and all general intangibles consisting of, arising from
or
relating to any of the foregoing, and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary
or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other
property, including without limitation all Liquidation Proceeds, all Insurance
Proceeds, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Collection
Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property
and (2) an assignment by the Depositor to the Trustee of any security interest
in any and all of the Depositor’s right (including the power to convey title
thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and
to
the property described in the foregoing clauses (1)(A) through (C); (c) the
possession by the Trustee or any other agent of 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,” or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by such secured
party, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New
York
UCC and any other Relevant UCC (including, without limitation, Section 9-313,
8-313 or 8-321 thereof); 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 Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law.
42
(b) The
Depositor and, at the Depositor’s direction, the Trustee shall, to the extent
consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary
to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest
in
the Mortgage Loans and the other property of the Trust Fund, such security
interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority
under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of
this
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor
shall
prepare and file any UCC financing statements that are necessary to perfect
the
Trustee’s security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans, as evidenced by an
Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor, and furnish a copy of each such filed
financing statement to the Securities Administrator. The Trustee shall prepare
and file, at the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain
the
effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the Relevant UCC to
perfect the Trustee’s security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans,
including without limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) to the extent
that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice of such
change or transfer, such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change
of name of the Seller or the Depositor, (2) any change of location of the place
of business or the chief executive office of the Seller or the Depositor or
(3)
any transfer of any interest of the Seller or the Depositor in any Mortgage
Loan.
The
Depositor shall not organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the
State under which each is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing
its
jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction)
without giving thirty (30) days prior written notice of such action to its
immediate and mediate transferee, including the Trustee. Before effecting such
change, the Depositor proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization
shall
prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements
or
other statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its
immediate and mediate transferees, including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans.
In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the
Depositor authorizes its immediate or mediate transferee to file in any filing
office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements,
any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings described in
this Section 2.03(b).
43
(c) The
Depositor shall not take any action inconsistent with the sale by the Depositor
of all of its right, title and interest in and to the Trust Fund and shall
indicate or shall cause to be indicated in its records and records held on
its
behalf that ownership of each Mortgage Loan and the other property of the Trust
Fund is held by the Trustee. In addition, the Depositor shall respond to any
inquiries from third parties with respect to ownership of a Mortgage Loan or
any
other property of the Trust Fund by stating that it is not the owner of such
Mortgage Loan and that ownership of such Mortgage Loan or other property of
the
Trust Fund is held by the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders.
Section
2.04. Option
to Contribute Derivative Instrument
At
any
time on or after the Closing Date, the Seller shall have the right to contribute
to, and deposit into, the Trust Fund a derivative contract or comparable
instrument (a “Derivative Instrument”). The Derivative Instrument may have a
notional amount in excess of the sum of the beneficial interests in the Trust.
Any such instrument shall constitute a fully prepaid agreement. The Securities
Administrator shall have no tax reporting duties with respect to any such
Derivative Instrument.
Section
2.05. The
Certificates.
The
Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached as Exhibit A hereto.
The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the minimum
denominations per Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement and, to the
extent applicable, in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof.
Subject
to Section 9.03 hereof respecting the final distribution on the Certificates,
on
each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator shall make distributions
to
each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by
wire
transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a
bank
or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Holder
has
so notified the Securities Administrator not later than the applicable Record
Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) 100% of the Class Principal Amount
of
any Class of Certificates or (B) Certificates of any Class with aggregate
principal Denominations of not less than $1,000,000 or (y) by check mailed
by
first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder
appearing in the Certificate Register.
44
The
Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of
the
Securities Administrator by an authorized signatory of the Securities
Administrator. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized
to sign on behalf of the Securities Administrator shall bind the Securities
Administrator, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased
to be so authorized prior to the countersignature and delivery of such
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate.
No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid
for any purpose, unless countersigned by the Securities Administrator by manual
signature, 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 shall be dated the date of their
countersignature. On the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall
countersign the Certificates to be issued at the direction of the Depositor,
or
any Affiliate thereof.
The
Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Securities
Administrator on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of specimen
Certificates to facilitate transfers.
Section
2.06. Certificate
Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The
Securities Administrator shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a
Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions
of
subsections (b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Securities Administrator shall provide for the registration
of
Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Securities
Administrator shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and
aggregate Percentage Interest.
At
the
option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the office or agency of the Securities Administrator. Whenever
any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator
shall
execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder
making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by
a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing.
No
service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration
of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
45
All
Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Securities Administrator in
accordance with the Securities Administrator’s customary
procedures.
(b) No
Person
shall transfer a Restricted Certificate unless such transfer (i) is made
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and
any
applicable state securities laws, (ii) is exempt from the registration
requirements under said Act and such state securities laws and (iii) is made
in
compliance with the provisions of this Section. In the event that a transfer
is
to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws,
in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the
Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Certificateholder’s
prospective transferee shall each certify to the Securities Administrator in
writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the forms set forth
in Exhibit [ ] (the “Transferor Certificate”) and
deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit
[ ] (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit
[ ] (the “Rule 144A Letter”). The Depositor shall
provide to any Holder of a Restricted Certificate and any prospective transferee
designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates
and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to
satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer
of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act
pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Securities
Administrator shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A
information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the
Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and
other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request
to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Restricted
Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller,
the Servicer[s] and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result
if
the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal
and
state laws.
No
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Securities
Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation from the
transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Securities Administrator (in the event such Certificate
is a
Restricted Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by the Securities
Administrator’s receipt of a representation letter from the transferee
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit [ ] (or
Exhibit [ ], in the case of a Residual Certificate)), to
the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or other
retirement arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code (collectively, a “Plan”), nor a Person acting on behalf of any such Plan or
using the assets of any such Plan to effect such transfer, (ii) if the
ERISA-Restricted Certificate was the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying underwriting
and the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation substantially in
the
form set forth in Exhibit [ ], to the effect that the
purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificate with
funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is
defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE
95-60”)) and the acquisition and holding of the ERISA-Restricted Certificate are
covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60; or (iii) in the case of any
such
ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Plan
or
a Person acting on behalf of such Plan or using such Plan’s assets, an Opinion
of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to
the
effect that the acquisition or holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate
will
not result in prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA and Section
4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Securities Administrator,
the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Servicer[s] to any
obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement, which
Opinion of Counsel will not be at the expense of any of the above parties or
the
Trust Fund. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan without
the delivery to the Securities Administrator of a representation letter or
an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities Administrator as described
above shall be void and of no effect. If the ERISA-Restricted Certificate is
a
Book-Entry Certificate, the transferee will be deemed to have made a
representation as provided in (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, as applicable.
46
To
the
extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA),
the Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for
any
registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact
not
permitted by this Section [[ ]] or for making any
payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other
action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so
long as the transfer was registered by the Securities Administrator in
accordance with the foregoing requirements.
(c) Each
Person who has or who acquires any ownership interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such ownership interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each
Person acquiring any ownership interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each
Person holding or acquiring any ownership interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No
ownership interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing
Date or thereafter transferred (except for an initial registration on the
Closing Date of the transfer to the Depositor (or an Affiliate thereof), the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator), and the Securities Administrator
shall
not register the transfer of any Residual Certificate (except for an initial
registration on the Closing Date of the transfer to the Depositor (or an
Affiliate thereof), the Trustee or the Securities Administrator) unless, in
addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Securities
Administrator under subparagraph (b) above, the Securities Administrator shall
have been furnished with an affidavit of the Holder desiring to effect such
transfer (a “Transferor Affidavit”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
[ ] and an affidavit of the proposed transferee (a
“Transferee Affidavit”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
[ ].
(iii) Each
Person holding or acquiring any ownership interest in a Residual Certificate
shall agree (A) to obtain a Transferee Affidavit from any other Person to whom
such Person attempts to Transfer its ownership interest in a Residual
Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transferee Affidavit from any Person for whom
such
Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any transfer
of
a Residual Certificate and (C) not to transfer its ownership interest in a
Residual Certificate or to cause the transfer of an ownership interest in a
Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such
Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
47
(iv) Any
attempted or purported transfer of any ownership interest in a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 2.06(c) shall be
absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee.
If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate
in
violation of the provisions of this Section 2.06(c), then the last preceding
Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Residual
Certificate. The Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any
Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in
fact not permitted by Section 2.06(b) and this Section 2.06(c) or for making
any
payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other
action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so
long as the transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transferee
Affidavit, Transferor Affidavit and either the Rule 144A Letter or the
Investment Letter. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled but not
obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in
fact
not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent
time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such
Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so
recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the
Securities Administrator to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such
Certificate.
(v) The
Depositor shall promptly make available, upon receipt of written request from
the Securities Administrator, all information necessary to compute any tax
imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a transfer of an
ownership interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a
Permitted Transferee.
The
restrictions on transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section
206(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a
Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to transfers occurring after
delivery to the Securities Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Securities
Administrator or the Depositor, to the effect that the elimination of such
restrictions will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Each Person holding or
acquiring any ownership interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents
to
any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished
to the Securities Administrator is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that
the
record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate
is
not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the transfer of a Residual
Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to
a
Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.
48
(d) The
preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above
in
this Section 2.06(d) in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of
the
parties to such transfers.
(e) Except
as
provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered
in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration
of the Certificates may not be transferred by the Securities Administrator
except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry
records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership
and
transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of
registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the Depository
shall
be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the
Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from
its Depository Participants; (v) the Securities Administrator shall deal with
the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as
representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for
purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests
and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to
be
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners;
and
(vi) the Securities Administrator may rely and shall be fully protected in
relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its
Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with
respect to indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such
indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate
Owners.
All
transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in
accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or
brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant
shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents
or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the
Depository’s normal procedures.
If
(x)
(i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Securities Administrator in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge
its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Securities Administrator or
the
Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (y) after the occurrence
of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing at least 51% of the
Certificate Balance of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise the
Securities Administrator and the Depository through the Depository Participants
in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository
is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Securities
Administrator shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository,
of
the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive
Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
Securities Administrator of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration, the
Securities Administrator shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the
Depositor nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any delay in
delivery of such instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. The Depositor shall provide the
Securities Administrator with an adequate inventory of certificates to
facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the
issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed
upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon
and
performed by the Securities Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect
to such Definitive Certificates and the Securities Administrator shall recognize
the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder;
provided
that the
Securities Administrator shall not by virtue of its assumption of such
obligations become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the
Depository.
49
Section
2.07. Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If
(a)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or
the
Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to
the
Depositor and the Securities Administrator such security or indemnity as may
be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice
to the Securities Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by
a
bona fide purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute, countersign
and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost
or
stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage
Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this
Section 2.07, the Securities Administrator may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in
relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the
Securities Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen
or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section
2.08. Persons
Deemed Owners.
The

remedy of the Trustee or any Certificateholder hereunder shall be their rights
to enforce the obligations of the Seller under any applicable representation
or
warranty made by it. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund acknowledges that

as
set forth in Section 3.01(a)(ii)) under any circumstances.
Section
3.02. Discovery
of Breach.
It is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties (i) of the
Depositor set forth in Section 3.01(a), (ii) of the Seller set forth in Section
3.01(b) and (c) and (iii) of the Servicer[s] pursuant to Section 4.05 of this
Agreement, shall each survive delivery of the Mortgage Files and the Assignment
of Mortgage of each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee and shall continue throughout
the term of this Agreement. With
respect to the representations and warranties which are made to the best of
the
Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by the Depositor, the Seller, the
Securities Administrator, the Trustee,
the
Master Servicer, the Underwriters or the Servicer[s] that the substance of
such
representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and
adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interests of the
Certificateholders or the Trustee
therein,
notwithstanding such Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of
such representation or warranty, remedies for breach will apply to such
inaccuracy. Any
breach of the representation and warranty set forth in clauses (cc), (ee) and
(ff) of Exhibit A of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to
materially and adversely affect the interest of the Trust Fund in that Mortgage
Loan, notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the

of a
breach of any of such representations and warranties made by the Seller that
adversely and materially affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the
party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other
parties. Within 90 days of the discovery by the Seller of a breach of any
representation or warranty given to the Trustee by the Seller or the Seller’s
receipt of written notice of such a breach, the Seller shall either (a) cure
such breach in all material respects, (b) repurchase such Mortgage Loan or
any
property acquired in respect thereof from the Trustee at the Purchase Price
or
(c) substitute a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage

Section

(a) [With
respect to any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Section
3.02(b) of this Agreement, the principal portion of the funds in respect of
such
repurchase of a Mortgage Loan will be considered a Principal Prepayment and
the
Purchase Price shall be deposited in the Collection Account. Upon receipt by
the
Securities Administrator of the full amount of the Purchase Price for a Deleted
Mortgage Loan and notification thereof has been made to the Trustee, or upon
receipt of notification from the Custodian that it had received the Mortgage
File for a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan substituted for a Deleted
Mortgage Loan (and any applicable Substitution Amount), the Trustee shall
release or cause to be released and reassign to the Depositor or the Seller,
as
applicable, the related Mortgage File for the Deleted Mortgage Loan and shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest
in
such party or its designee or assignee title to any Deleted Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto, free and clear of all security interests, liens and
other encumbrances created by this Agreement, which instruments shall be
prepared by the Servicer[s] and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility
with respect to the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan.
53
(b) With
respect to each Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan to be delivered to the
Trustee (or the Custodian) in exchange for a Deleted Mortgage Loan: (i) the
Depositor or the Seller, as applicable, must deliver to the Trustee (or a
Custodian) the Mortgage File for the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan
containing the documents set forth in Section 2.01(c) along with a written
certification certifying as to the delivery of such Mortgage File and containing
the granting language set forth in Section 2.01(a); and (ii) the Seller and
the
Depositor will be deemed to have made, with respect to such Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan, each of the representations and warranties made by
it
with respect to the related Deleted Mortgage Loan. As soon as practicable after
the delivery of any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan hereunder, the Trustee,
at the expense of the Depositor and at the direction and with the cooperation
of
the Servicer[s] shall (i) with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage
Loan that is a Non-MERS Mortgage Loan, cause the Assignment of Mortgage to
be
recorded by the Servicer[s] if required pursuant to Section 2.01(d), or (ii)
with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage
Loan, cause to be taken such actions as are necessary to cause the Trustee
(on
behalf of the Trust Fund) to be clearly identified as the owner of each such
Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS if required pursuant to Section
2.01(d).]

IV
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING OF THE
MORTGAGE
LOANS BY THE SERVICER[S]
Section
4.01. Servicer[s]
to Perform Servicing Responsibilities.
(a) Contract
for Servicing; Possession of Servicing Files.
The
Trustee does hereby contract with the Servicer[s] for the servicing of the
Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Trust Fund and the Trustee. The
Servicer[s] shall maintain a Servicing File with respect to each Mortgage Loan
in order to service such Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement and each
Servicing File delivered to the Servicer[s] shall be held in trust by the
Servicer[s] for the benefit of the Trust Fund and the Trustee. [The/Each]
Servicer’s possession of any portion of the Mortgage Loan documents shall be at
the will of the Trustee for the sole purpose of facilitating servicing of the
related Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement, and such retention and
possession by the [related] Servicer shall be in a custodial capacity only.
The
ownership of each Mortgage Note, Mortgage, and the contents of the Servicing
File shall be vested in the Trustee and the ownership of all records and
documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or which come
into the possession of the Servicer[s] shall immediately vest in the Trustee
and
shall be retained and maintained, in trust, by the Servicer[s] at the will
of
the Trustee in such custodial capacity only. The Servicing File retained by
the
Servicer[s] pursuant to this Agreement shall be identified in accordance with
the [related] Servicer’s file tracking system to reflect the ownership of the
related Mortgage Loan by the Trustee. [The/Each] Servicer shall release from
its
custody the contents of any Servicing File retained by it only in accordance
with this Agreement.
54
(b) Books
and Records.
All
rights arising out of the Mortgage Loans shall be vested in the Trustee, subject
to the [Servicer’s/Servicers’] rights to service and administer the Mortgage
Loans hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. All funds
received on or in connection with a Mortgage Loan, other than the Servicing
Fee
and other compensation and reimbursement to which the Servicer[s] and the Master
Servicer are entitled as set forth herein, including but not limited to Section
4.04(c), shall be received and held by them in trust for the benefit of the
Trustee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
The
Servicer[s] shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing an
assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan
entered into in accordance with Section 4.02(a) within one week of their
execution; provided,
however,
that
the Servicer[s] shall provide the Custodian with a Servicer certified true
copy
of any such document submitted for recordation within one week 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 180 days of its submission
for
recordation.
Section
4.02. Servicing
of the Mortgage Loans.
(a) Servicer[s]
to Service.
The
Servicer[s], acting directly [or through one or more Subservicers as provided
in
Section 4.09], shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans from and after
the Closing Date and, except where prior consent of the Master Servicer is
required under this Agreement, in accordance with this Agreement 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 Servicer[s] may deem necessary or
desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement 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, the Servicer[s] 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 any of the servicing provisions of the Xxxxxx
Mae Guides, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and be binding upon
the Servicer[s] and the other parties hereto.
55
Consistent
with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer[s] 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 [Servicer’s/Servicers’]
reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement
or
indulgence is not materially adverse to the Trust Fund, Trustee and the
Certificateholders, provided, however, that unless the [related] Servicer has
obtained the prior written consent of the Master Servicer, the [related]
Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan
that would change the Mortgage 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 Master Servicer and which permits the
deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the [related]
Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Servicer
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 4.03(c), the difference between (a) such month's
principal and one month's interest at the Net Mortgage Rate on the unpaid
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the
Mortgagor. The Servicer[s] shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances
to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.03. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, [the/each] Servicer shall continue,
and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver on
behalf of itself, the Trust Fund and the Trustee, 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 Servicer[s] may not enter into a forbearance agreement or similar
arrangement with respect to any Mortgage Loan which runs more than one hundred
eighty (180) days after the first delinquent Due Date. Any such agreement shall
be approved by the Master Servicer and, if required, by the Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy insurer and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy
insurer.
In
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer[s] shall employ
Accepted Servicing Practices, giving due consideration to the reliance by the
Trustee and Certificateholders on the Servicer[s]. [Notwithstanding the
appointment of any Subservicer pursuant to Section 4.09, the [related] Servicer
shall remain liable for the performance of all of the servicing obligations
and
responsibilities under this Agreement.]
56
[The
Servicer[s] shall, in accordance with Home Equity Accepted Servicing Practices,
approve and make disbursements of principal in connection with Mortgagor drafts
upon the credit line approved in connection with each Revolving Credit Loan.
The
Servicer[s] shall provide to the Mortgagors all checks, drafts or other
documentation necessary for such Mortgagors to obtain a Credit Line Advance.
On
each Servicer Remittance Date, with respect to each Credit Line Advance
disbursed by the Servicer[s] and reported to the [Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator], the [related] Servicer shall be entitled to reimburse
itself, from amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account, in an amount equal
to
(i) the principal amount of each unreimbursed Credit Line Advance disbursed
by
the [related] Servicer with respect to a Revolving Credit Loan and (ii)
interest, at the Credit Advance Rate, on the principal amount of each such
Credit Line Advance from the date such Credit Line Advance was disbursed by
the
[related] Servicer to but not including such date reimbursement is received
by
the [related] Servicer. In the event that there are insufficient funds on
deposit in the Custodial Account on any Servicer Remittance Date to reimburse
the [related] Servicer as provided in the preceding sentence (such shortfall,
an
“Advance Reimbursement Shortfall Amount”), the [related] Servicer shall deliver
to the [Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator] a request for
reimbursement of the amount of such Advance Reimbursement Shortfall Amount
at
least three Business Days prior to such Servicer Remittance Date. The
[Securities Administrator] shall promptly reimburse the [related] Servicer
on
such Servicer Remittance Date for such Advance Reimbursement Shortfall
Amount.]
[[The/Each]
Servicer, at its discretion and in accordance with Home Equity Accepted
Servicing Practices, may perform any of the following actions in connection
with
a Revolving Credit Loan:
(i)
with
the approval of the [Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator], increase
the amount of the related Credit Line;
(ii)
with
the
approval of the [Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator], terminate
a
dormant Revolving Credit Loan, to the extent permitted under the related
Mortgage Note;
(iii)
permit
payments from the Mortgagor of interest only during the period when Credit
Line
Advances may be made; or
(iv)
with
the
approval of the [Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator], eliminate
the ability of the Mortgagor to make future drafts upon the Credit Line, or
reduce the Credit Line, to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage
Note.]
57
[Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Servicer[s] shall, in servicing
the Revolving Credit Loans, follow and comply with the servicing guidelines
established by Xxxxxx Xxx, and the Servicer[s] may waive, modify or vary any
term of any Revolving Credit Loan or consent to the postponement of strict
compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor
if in the [related] Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver,
modification, postponement or indulgence is in the best interests of the
Certificateholders and is consistent with the terms of this Agreement;
provided,
however,
that if
the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Revolving Credit Loan or such
default is, in the judgment of the [related] Servicer, reasonably foreseeable,
the [related] Servicer shall not permit any modification of any material term
of
any Revolving Credit Loan, including any modification that would change the
mortgage interest rate, defer or forgive the 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 Revolving Credit Loan.
In the event of any such modification which permits the deferral of interest
or
principal payments on any Revolving Credit Loan, the [related] Servicer shall,
on the Business Day immediately preceding the Servicer Remittance Date in any
month in which any such principal or interest payment has been deferred, make
a
Monthly Advance pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.03(c), in an amount
equal to the difference between (i) such month’s principal and one month’s
interest at the Mortgage Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Revolving
Credit Loan and (ii) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Servicer[s] shall
be
entitled to reimbursement for such Monthly Advances to the same extent as for
all other Monthly Advances made pursuant to Section 4.03(c). Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, [the/each] Servicer shall continue, and is
hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself
and
the [Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator], all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and
all
other comparable instruments, with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans and
with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. Upon the request of [the/a] Servicer,
the [Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator] shall execute and deliver
to the [related] Servicer any powers of attorney and other documents, furnished
to it by the Servicer and reasonably satisfactory to the [Master Servicer and
the Securities Administrator], necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer
to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Servicer[s]
shall
not, without the [Master Servicer’s and the Securities Administrator’s] written
consent: (i) initiate any action suit or proceeding solely under the [Master
Servicer’s or the Securities Administrator’s] name without indicating the
[related] Servicer’s representative capacity; or (ii) take any action with the
intent to cause, and that actually causes, the [Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator] to be registered to do business in any state. Promptly
after the execution of any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension
of any Revolving Credit Loan, the [related] Servicer shall forward to the
[Master Servicer] copies of any documents evidencing such assumption,
modification, consolidation or extension.
In
servicing and administering the Revolving Credit Loans, [the/each] Servicer
shall employ procedures (including collection procedures) and exercise the
same
care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering
mortgage loans for its own account, giving due consideration to Home Equity
Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not conflict with the
requirements of this Agreement and the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides.]
58
(b) Servicer
Discretion.
In
managing the liquidation of defaulted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer[s] will
have
sole discretion, subject to the terms of this Agreement, to sell defaulted
Mortgage Loans; provided,
however,
that
the Servicer[s] shall not take any action that is inconsistent with or
prejudices the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or
the
rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders
under this Agreement.
(c) Collection
and Liquidation of Mortgage Loans.
Continuously from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases
to be
subject to this Agreement, [the/each] Servicer 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 Servicer[s] 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.
[The/Each]
Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the
Servicer 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 Trust Fund,
the
Trustee and the Certificateholders, 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 4.02(a).
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/Each] Servicer 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 Trust, taking into account, among other things,
the timing of foreclosure proceedings. [The/Each] Servicer, on behalf of the
Trust Fund, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, may also, in its discretion,
as an alternative to foreclosure, sell defaulted Mortgage Loans at fair market
value to third parties, if the [related] Servicer reasonably believes that
such
sale would maximize proceeds to the Trust Fund (on a present value basis) with
respect to each such Mortgage Loan. The foregoing is subject to the provisions
that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage,
the
[related] 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 Trust Fund after reimbursement to itself for such expenses,
and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the [related] Servicer
through Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from
the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.02(e). [Each]
Servicer shall obtain prior approval of Purchaser or the Master Servicer as
to
repair or restoration expenses in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000).
The
[related] Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer 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 [related]
Servicer 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
4.02(e). 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 [related] Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a
Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes,
or if the Master Servicer or the Trustee 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 Master Servicer’s or Trustee’s
expense, as applicable. Upon completion of the inspection, the [related]
Servicer shall promptly provide the Master Servicer and the Trustee with a
written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the
environmental inspection report, the Master Servicer shall determine how the
[related] Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged
Property.
59
Notwithstanding
the generality of the preceding paragraph, [the/each] Servicer shall take such
actions generally in accordance with the Servicer’s established default timeline
and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices with respect to each
Mortgage Loan and Mortgagor for which there is a delinquency until such time
as
the related Mortgagor is current with all payments due under the Mortgage
Loan.
(d) Establishment
of and Deposits to Custodial Account.
(i) [The/Each]
Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant
to
the Mortgage Loans separate and apart from any of its own funds and general
assets and shall initially establish and maintain one or more Custodial
Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, each of which accounts
shall be titled “[Xxxxxx, Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx Mortgage Corp. in trust for
[ ], as Trustee, for the TBW Mortgage
Trust Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series [ ]”
and referred to herein as a “Custodial Account;” [provided
that so
long as [ ] is the Subservicer under the Subservicing
Agreement, each Custodial Account shall be titled “[ ]
in trust for [ ], as Trustee, for the TBW Mortgage
Trust Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series [ ].”]
Each Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Any funds deposited in
the
Custodial Account shall at all times be insured by the FDIC up to the FDIC
insurance limits, or must be invested in Eligible Investments subject to the
provisions of Section 4.02(i) hereof. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account
may be drawn on by the [related] Servicer in accordance with Section 4.02(e)
hereof. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a letter

The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive,
it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the

entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account
pursuant to Section 4.02(e). The
amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be

Servicer
out of its own funds, without any right of reimbursement therefor, immediately
as realized.
61
(ii) [The/Each]
Servicer agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage Loans,
or any funds that are deposited in any Custodial Account or Escrow Account,
or
any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to or for the benefit
of the Trustee, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ
of
attachment or other encumbrance, nor assert by legal action or otherwise any
claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage Loan or any funds collected on,
or
in connection with, a Mortgage Loan.
(e) Permitted
Withdrawals from Custodial Account.
The
Servicer[s] may, from time to time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for
the
following purposes:
(i) to
make
payments to the Master Servicer in the amounts and in the manner provided for
in
Section 4.03(a);
(ii) to
reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, [the/each] Servicer'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/each] Servicer's right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the
Certificateholders, except that, where the [related] Servicer is required to
repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 3.03, the Servicer's right
to
such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Trust Fund of
the
Purchase Price pursuant to such Section and all other amounts required to be
paid to the Trust Fund with respect to such Mortgage Loan;
(iii) to
reimburse itself for unreimbursed Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances and
any unpaid Servicing Fees (or REO administration fees described in Section

otherwise set forth in this Agreement; any recovery shall be made upon

respect to a particular Mortgage Loan;

of the Servicer and not timely reimbursed by the Administrator in accordance
with Section 4.02(a) hereof.]
(f) Establishment
of and Deposits to Escrow Account.
The
Servicer[s] shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant
to a Mortgage Loan constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any
of
its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more
Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled
“[Xxxxxx, Bean & Xxxxxxxx Mortgage Corp.] in trust for
[ ], as Trustee, for the TBW Mortgage Trust Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series [ ],” [provided
that so
long as [ ] is the Subservicer under the Subservicing
Agreement, each Escrow Account shall be titled “[ ] in
trust for [ ], as Trustee, for the TBW Mortgage Trust
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series [ ].”] The
Escrow Accounts shall be an Eligible Account. Nothing herein shall require
the
Servicer[s] to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation
of
applicable law. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the
Servicer[s] in accordance with Section 4.02(g). The creation of any Escrow
Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit E
hereto. A copy of such certification or letter agreement shall be furnished
to
the Master Servicer.
The
Servicer[s] shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts 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, if required, for
the
purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the
terms of this Agreement to be paid by the related Mortgagor to the [related]
Servicer;
63
(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[s] shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such
payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 4.02(g).
The Servicer[s] shall be entitled to retain any interest earnings 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. To
the
extent required by law, the Servicer[s] shall pay interest on escrowed funds
to
the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account may be non-interest
bearing or the interest earnings paid thereon are insufficient for such
purposes.
(g) Permitted
Withdrawals from Escrow Account.
Withdrawals from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the Servicer[s]
only:
(i) to
effect
timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, condominium charges, fire
and
hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the
related Mortgage;
(ii) to
reimburse the Servicer[s] for any Servicing Advance of an Escrow Payment made
by
the [related] Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, but only from
amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections
of Escrow Payments thereunder;
(iii) to
refund
to any Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required to
be
escrowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan;
(iv) to
the
extent permitted by applicable law, for transfer to the Custodial Account and
application to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in accordance
with the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note;
(v) for
application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property in accordance
with Section 4.02(n);
(vi) to
pay to
the Servicer[s], or any 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 [related] Servicer 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
64
(viii) to
pay to
the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in accordance
with
Section 4.02(f).
(h) Payment
of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies; Collections Thereunder.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer[s] 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 Servicer[s] 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[s] shall determine that any such
payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time they first become due. [The/Each]
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 (which will constitute a Servicing Advance).
(i) The
Servicer[s] 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 Purchaser,
or as required by applicable law or regulation. The Servicer[s] 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 Servicer[s] 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
[related] Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any
assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant
to Section 4.04(a), the Servicer[s] 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
[related] Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy
or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.
65
In
connection with [its/their] activities as servicer, [the/each] Servicer agrees
to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Trust Fund, 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 4.02(d), any amounts collected by the
Servicer[s] 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 4.02(e).
(i) Protection
of Accounts.
The
Servicer[s] may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a
different Eligible Institution from time to time. Such transfer shall be made
only upon obtaining the consent of the Master Servicer, which consent shall
not
be withheld unreasonably, and the Servicer[s] shall give notice to the Master
Servicer and the Trustee of any change in the location of the Custodial
Account.
(j) Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance.
The
Servicer[s] shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard
insurance with extended coverage as is acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac
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 Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, 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 [related] Servicer 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 [related] Servicer 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 [related] Servicer
shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor's
behalf. The Servicer[s] 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 Servicer[s] 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
4.02(e). It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need
be
required by the Servicer[s] 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 [related] Servicer 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 Servicer. The
Servicer[s] shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in
selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the
Servicer[s] shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance
companies unless such companies are Qualified Insurers.
66
(k) Maintenance
of Mortgage Impairment Insurance.
In the
event that [the/a] Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued
by
an insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac 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 4.02(j)
and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.02(j), it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section
4.02(j), it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a
deductible clause, in which case the [related] 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 4.02(j), 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/their] activities as servicer
of
the Mortgage Loans, [the/each] Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf
of the Master Servicer and the Trustee, claims under any such blanket policy
in
a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request
of
the Master Servicer or Trustee, the [related] Servicer shall cause to be
delivered to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, 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 Master
Servicer and the Trustee.
(l) Maintenance
of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.
[The/Each] Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity
bond
and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with
responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in
any
capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loan to handle funds, money, documents
and
papers relating to the Mortgage Loan. The Servicer Fidelity Bond 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 and fraud of
such persons. The Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall protect
and insure the Servicer[s] against losses arising out of errors and omissions
and negligent acts of such persons. Such Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance
Policy shall also protect and insure the Servicer[s] 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 4.02(l) requiring the Servicer Fidelity Bond or the
Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall diminish or relieve the
[related] Servicer 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 Mae in the
Xxxxxx Xxx Guides. Upon request of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, the
Servicer[s] shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the Trustee a certificate
from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Servicer Fidelity
Bond and the Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and shall obtain
a
statement from the surety and the insurer that such Servicer Fidelity Bond
or
Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall in no event be terminated
or materially modified without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the
Master Servicer. The [related] Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer and
the
Trustee within five (5) business days of receipt of notice that such Servicer
Fidelity Bond or Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy will be, or
has
been, materially modified or terminated. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust
Fund
must be named as a loss payee on the Servicer Fidelity Bond and as an additional
insured on the Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy. Upon request
by
the Master Servicer, the Servicer[s] shall provide the Master Servicer with
an
insurance certificate certifying coverage under this Section 4.02(l), and will
provide an update to such certificate upon request, or upon renewal or material
modification of coverage.
67
(m) Inspections.
The
Servicer[s] shall inspect the Mortgaged Property as often as deemed necessary
by
the [related] Servicer to assure itself that the value of the Mortgaged Property
is being preserved. In addition, the Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged
Property and/or take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate
in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or as may be required by the
primary mortgage guaranty insurer. The Servicer shall keep a written report
of
each such inspection.
(n) Restoration
of Mortgaged Property.
The
Servicer[s] need not obtain the approval of the Master Servicer prior to
releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor
to be
applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release
is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. At a minimum, the
Servicer[s] shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any
such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:
(i) the
Servicer[s] shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion
of
repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect thereto;
(ii) the
Servicer[s] shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the
lien
of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring waivers with respect
to
mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens; and
68
(iii) pending
repairs or restoration, the Servicer[s] shall place the Insurance Proceeds
or
Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account.
(o) 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 Trustee or its designee, or in the event the Trustee 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 [related] Servicer 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 Trustee shall
acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit
of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund.
The
Servicer[s] shall notify the Master Servicer in accordance with the Xxxxxx
Mae
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 from the date the [related] Servicer 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
[related] Servicer shall continue to provide certain administrative services
to
the Master Servicer relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section
4.02(o). 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/Each]
Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the [related]
Servicer, and in accordance with the Xxxxxx Xxx 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 Servicer[s] 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 Servicer[s] 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 [related] Servicer to the Master
Servicer.
[The/Each]
Servicer 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 [related] Servicer
determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Master Servicer 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 [related]
Servicer shall report monthly to the Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer. No
REO
Property shall be sold for less than ninety five percent (95%) of its Appraised
Value, without the prior consent of Trustee. All requests for reimbursement
of
Servicing Advances shall be in accordance with the Xxxxxx Mae Guides. The
disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer[s] at such
price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the [related] Servicer deems
to be
in the best interests of the Trust Fund (subject to the above conditions) only
with the prior written consent of the Master Servicer. The Servicer[s] shall
provide monthly reports to the Master Servicer in reference to the status of
the
marketing of the REO Properties.]
69
(p) Compliance
with Safeguarding Customer Information Requirements.
[The/Each] Servicer has implemented and will maintain security measures designed
to meet the objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards
for
Safeguarding Customer Information published in final form on February 1, 2001,
66 Fed. Reg. 8616, and the rules promulgated thereunder, as amended from time
to
time (the “Guidelines”).
(q) Notification
of Maturity Date.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer[s] 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.
(r) Purchase
of Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
[The/Each] Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to elect
(by
written notice sent to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities
Administrator) to purchase for its own account from the Trust Fund any Mortgage
Loan that is (as of the first day of a calendar quarter) 90 days or more
Delinquent or is an REO Property at a price equal to the Purchase Price;
provided,
however, that (i) 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 calendar 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 calendar quarter. The principal portion of the funds
in
respect of such purchase of a Mortgage Loan will be considered a Principal
Prepayment and the Purchase Price shall be deposited in the Collection Account.
Upon receipt by the Securities Administrator of the full amount of the Purchase
Price for such Mortgage Loan and notification thereof has been made to the
Trustee, the Trustee shall release or cause to be released and reassign to
the
[related] Servicer the related Mortgage File for such Mortgage Loan and shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest
in
such party or its designee or assignee title to any such Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto, free and clear of all security interests, liens and other
encumbrances created by this Agreement, which instruments shall be prepared
by
the [related] Servicer and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility
with
respect to the Mortgage File relating to such 90 days Delinquent Mortgage Loan
purchased by the [related] Servicer.
70
Section
4.03. Payments
to the Master Servicer.
(a) Remittances.
[On
each Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer[s] shall remit by wire transfer

immediately available funds to the Master Servicer (i) all amounts credited
to
the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the preceding Determination
Date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant
to Section 4.02(e), plus (ii) all Monthly Advances, if any, which the [related]
Servicer is obligated to remit pursuant to Section 4.03(c), plus, (iii)
Compensating Interest Payments, minus

for such amounts. It is understood that, by operation of Section 4.02(d), the
remittance on the first Servicer Remittance Date with respect to the Mortgage
Loans is to include principal collected after the Cut- off Date through the
preceding Determination Date plus interest, adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate
collected through such Determination Date exclusive of any portion thereof
allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, with the adjustments
specified in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.
With
respect to any remittance received by the Master Servicer after the Servicer
Remittance Date, the Servicer[s] shall pay to the Master Servicer interest
on
any such late payment at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted
as
of the date of each change plus two (2) percentage points, but in no event
greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest
shall
cover the period 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
Master Servicer, both inclusive. The payment by the [related] 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 [related] Servicer. On each Servicer Remittance
Date, the Servicer[s] shall provide a remittance report detailing all amounts
being remitted pursuant to this Section 4.03(a).
All
remittances required to be made to the Master Servicer shall be made to the
following wire account or to such other account as may be specified by the
Master Servicer from time to time:
(b) Statements
to Master Servicer and Securities Administrator.
The
Servicer[s] shall furnish to Master Servicer an individual loan accounting
report, as of the last Business Day of each month, in the [related] Servicer’s
assigned loan number order to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an
individual Mortgage Loan basis. With respect to each month, the corresponding
individual loan accounting report shall be received by the Master Servicer
no
later than the [fifth] Business Day of the following month on a disk or tape
or
other computer-readable format in such format as may be mutually agreed upon
by
both Master Servicer and Servicer[s], and no later than the [fifth] Business
Day
of the following month in hard copy, and shall contain the
following:
(i) With
respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to
principal (including a separate breakdown of any Principal Prepayment, including
the date of such prepayment, and any prepayment penalties or premiums, along
with a detailed report of interest on principal prepayment amounts remitted
in
accordance with Section 4.02(d));
71
(ii) with
respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to
interest;
(iii) the
amount of servicing compensation received by the Servicer[s] during the prior
distribution period;
(iv) the
aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans;
(v) the
aggregate of any expenses reimbursed to the Servicer[s] during the prior
distribution period pursuant to Section 4.02(e); and
(vi) The
number and aggregate outstanding principal balances of Mortgage Loans (a)
Delinquent (1) 30 to 59 days, (2) 60 to 89 days, (3) 90 days or more and (4)
180
days or more and charged-off; (b) as to which foreclosure has commenced; and
(c)
as to which REO Property has been acquired.
The
Servicer[s] shall provide a monthly remittance report to the Master Servicer
in
a mutually agreeable format. The Servicer[s] shall also provide a default report
containing the information specified in Exhibit F attached hereto with each
such
report.
The
Servicer[s] shall prepare and file any and all information statements or other
filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to
the
Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator pursuant to any applicable
law
with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby.
In
addition, the Servicer[s] shall provide the Master Servicer and the Securities
Administrator with such information as may be requested by it and required
for
the completion of any tax reporting responsibility of the Securities
Administrator within such reasonable time frame as shall enable the Securities
Administrator to timely file each Schedule Q (or other applicable tax report
or
return) required to be filed by it.
(c) Monthly
Advances by Servicer[s].
Not
later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Servicer
Remittance Date, the Servicer[s] shall deposit in the Custodial Account an
amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by the Servicer[s], whether
or not deferred pursuant to Section 4.03(a), of principal (due after the Cut-off
Date) and interest not allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date,
adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate, which were due on a Mortgage Loan and
delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date; provided,
however, that the [related] Servicer may use the Amount Held for Future
Distribution (as defined below) then on deposit in the Custodial Account to
make
such Monthly Advances. The Servicer[s] shall deposit any portion of the Amount
Held for Future Distribution used to pay Monthly Advances into the Custodial
Account on any future Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the funds
that
are available in the Custodial Account for remittance to the Master Servicer
on
such Servicer Remittance Date are less than the amount of payments required
to
be made to the Master Servicer on such Servicer Remittance Date.
72
The
“Amount Held for Future Distribution” as to any Servicer Remittance Date shall
be the total of the amounts held in the Custodial Account at the close of
business on the preceding Determination Date which were received after the
Cut-off Date on account of (i) Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds,
Condemnation Proceeds and Principal Prepayments received or made in the month
of
such Servicer Remittance Date, and (ii) payments which represent early receipt
of Monthly Payments of principal and interest due on a date or dates subsequent
to the related Due Date.
[The/Each]
Servicer'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 Servicer 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 [related] Servicer deems such advance to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. In such event, the Servicer shall deliver to the Master
Servicer an Officer's Certificate of the Servicer to the effect that an officer
of the Servicer has reviewed the related Mortgage File and has made the
reasonable determination that any additional advances are
nonrecoverable.
(d) Liquidation
Reports.
Upon
the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property, the acquisition thereof by
the
Trustee pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or the charge off of a
Mortgage Loan that is 180 days Delinquent, the [related] Servicer shall submit
to the Trustee and the Master Servicer a monthly liquidation report with respect
to such Mortgaged Property. The Servicer[s] shall also provide reports on the
status of REO Property containing such information as the Trustee may reasonably
request.
(e) Credit
Reporting.
For
each Mortgage Loan, in accordance with its current servicing practices, the
Servicer[s] will accurately and fully report its underlying borrower credit
files to each of the following credit repositories or their successors: Equifax
Credit Information Services, Inc., Trans Union, LLC and Experian Information
Solution, Inc., on a monthly basis in a timely manner.
Section
4.04. General
Servicing Procedures.
Transfers
of Mortgaged Property.
[The/Each] Servicer will, to the extent it has actual 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 Servicer[s] 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/a] Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable
law to enforce such “due-on- sale” clause, the [related] 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 4.04(a), the [related] Servicer, with the
prior consent of the Master Servicer, the Trustee 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.
73
In
connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the
Servicer[s] shall follow the underwriting practices and procedures of the
[related] Servicer. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability,
the Mortgage 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 [related] Servicer 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 [related] Servicer shall
notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee that any such substitution of
liability or assumption agreement has been completed and shall forward to the
Custodian 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 Servicer[s] for entering into an assumption or substitution
of
liability agreement shall belong to the [related] Servicer.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this
Agreement, [the/a] 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 [related] Servicer
may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For
purposes of this Section 4.04(a), 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.
(a) Satisfaction
of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon
the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the [related]
Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes, the [related] Servicer shall immediately notify
the
Master Servicer by a certification of a Servicing Officer, 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 4.02(d) have been or will be so
deposited, and the Servicer shall request delivery to it of the portion of
the
Mortgage File held by the Custodian in accordance with the provisions of Section
5.12.
74
In
the
event the [related] 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 Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund may
have under the mortgage instruments, the [related] Servicer, upon written
demand, shall remit within [two (2)] Business Days to the Trustee on behalf
of
the Trust Fund the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage
Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Servicer[s] shall maintain
the Servicer Fidelity Bond and the Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance
Policy insuring the [related] Servicer against any loss it may sustain with
respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures
set
forth herein.
(b) Servicing
Compensation.
[As
compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer[s] 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 Servicing Fee, subject to Compensating Interest
Payments. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees,
as
provided in Section 4.04(a), and late payment charges or otherwise shall be
retained by the [related] Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in
the Custodial Account. No Servicing Fee shall be payable in connection with
partial Monthly Payments. [The/Each] 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 in this Agreement.]
(c) Annual
Audit Report.
On or
before [February 28th]
of each
year beginning [February 28], [ ], [the/each] Servicer
at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is
a
member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish
to
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor in a form
acceptable for filing with the Commission as an exhibit to a Form 10-K a report
on the assessment of compliance made by the [related] Servicer and delivered
pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section 4.04, which report shall be in
accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act. In addition, on an annual basis, [each]
Servicer shall provided the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Depositor with copies of its audited financial statements.
(d) Annual
Compliance Certifications.
(i) On
or
before [February 28th]
of each
year beginning [February 28], [ ], the Servicer[s] shall
deliver to the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor a
servicer’s certificate stating, as to each signer thereof, that (i) a review of
the activities of the [related] Servicer during such preceding fiscal year
and
of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’
supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such
review, the [related] Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this
Agreement for such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment
of
any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officers and
the
nature and status thereof, including the steps being taken by the [related]
Servicer to remedy such default.
75
(ii) On
or
before [February 28th]
of each
year beginning [February 28], [ ], the Servicer[s] shall
deliver to the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor a
report regarding the [related] Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the
Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar year, as required
under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation
AB.
(iii) For
so
long as a certificate under the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, as amended is
required to be delivered on behalf of the Trust, a Servicing Officer shall
execute and deliver on or prior to [February 28th]
of each
applicable year, commencing in 2006, or at any other time upon thirty (30)
days
written request, an Officer’s Certificate to the Depositor for the benefit of
the Depositor and its officers, directors and affiliates, certifying as to
the
following matters:
(1) I
have
reviewed the servicer compliance statement of the [related] Servicer provided
in
accordance with Item 1123 of Regulation AB (the “Compliance Statement”), the
report on assessment of the [related] Servicer’s compliance with the servicing
criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB (the “Servicing Criteria”),

Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Item 1122 of Regulation AB (the
“Servicing Assessment”), the registered public accounting firm’s attestation
report provided in accordance with Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 under the Exchange

information relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Servicer
during 200[ ] that were delivered by the [related]
Servicer pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and
Servicing Agreement”) [dated as of [ ] by and among
[ ] (collectively, the “Servicing
Information”);
(2) Based
on
my knowledge, the Servicing Information, taken as a whole, does not contain
any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which
such
statements were made, not misleading as of the end of
200[ ];
(3) Based
on
my knowledge, all of the Servicing Information required to be provided by the
[related] Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has been provided
to the Master Servicer;
(4) I
am
responsible for reviewing the activities performed by the [related] Servicer
as
[a] servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and based on my
knowledge and the compliance review conducted in preparing the Compliance
Statement and except as disclosed in the Compliance Statement, the Servicing
Assessment or the Attestation Report, the Servicer has fulfilled its obligations
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and
76
(5) The
Compliance Statement, the Servicing Assessment and the Attestation Report
required to be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Depositor
have been provided to the [Depositor] [Master Servicer]. Any material instances
of noncompliance described in such reports have been disclosed to the Depositor.
Any material instance of noncompliance with the Servicing Criteria has been
disclosed in such reports.
(iv) The
Servicer[s] shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Depositor
and

officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its obligations under this Section
4.04(e) for 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 any of the foregoing parties, then [the/each]
Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
indemnified party or parties as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities of the indemnified party or parties in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party or parties
on
the one hand and the [related] Servicer on the other in connection with a breach
of the [related] Servicer’s obligations under this Section 4.04(e) or the

is no litigation, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best
of
[the/each] Servicer’s knowledge, threatened, or any order or decree outstanding,
with respect to the [related] Servicer which, either in any one instance or
in
the aggregate, is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the

Servicer;
(vi) No

(x) No
Commissions to Third Parties.
[The/Each] Servicer has not dealt with any broker or agent or anyone else who
might be entitled to a fee or commission in connection with this transaction
other than the Seller.
(b) Remedies
for Breach of Representations and Warranties of the Servicer[s].
It is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
Sections 4.05(a) shall survive the engagement of the Servicer[s] to perform
the
servicing responsibilities as of the Closing Date hereunder and the delivery
of
the Servicing Files to the Servicer[s] and shall inure to the benefit of the
Master Servicer and the Trustee. Upon discovery by either the Servicer[s],
the
Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the
ability of the [related] Servicer to perform its duties and obligations under
this Agreement or otherwise materially and adversely affects the value of the
Mortgage Loans, the Mortgaged Property or the priority of the security interest
on such Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Master Servicer or the
Trustee, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
to
the other parties.
Within
[sixty (60)] days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the
[related] Servicer of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth
in
Section 4.05(a) which materially and adversely affects the ability of the
[related] Servicer to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement
or
otherwise materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans,
the
Mortgaged Property or the priority of the security interest on such Mortgaged
Property, the [related] Servicer shall use its best efforts promptly to cure
such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured, the
[related] Servicer shall, at the Master Servicer’s option, assign its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (or respecting the affected Mortgage Loans)
to
a successor servicer.
79
In
addition, the Servicer[s] shall indemnify all other parties to this Agreement
and hold each of them harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments,
and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or
assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the
Servicer’s representations and warranties contained in Section 4.05(a).
Any
cause
of action against the [related] Servicer relating to or arising out of the
breach of any representations and warranties made in Section 4.05(a) shall
accrue upon (i) discovery of such breach by the [related] Servicer or notice
thereof by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to the Servicer, (ii) failure
by
the [related] Servicer to cure such breach within the applicable cure period,
and (iii) demand upon the [related] Servicer by the Master Servicer or the
Trustee for compliance with this Agreement.
(c) Additional
Indemnification by the Servicer[s].
The

and
expenses (collectively, the “Liabilities”) that the indemnified party may
sustain in any way related to the failure of the [related] Servicer to perform
its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. The [related] Servicer shall immediately notify the Master Servicer,
the Trustee and the Securities Administrator if a claim is made by a third
party
with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans that may result in such
Liabilities, and the [related] Servicer shall assume (with the prior written
consent of the indemnified party) the defense of any such claim and pay all
expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, promptly pay,
discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it
or
any indemnified party in respect of such claim and follow any written
instructions received from such indemnified party in connection with such claim.
The [related] Servicer shall be reimbursed promptly from the Custodial Account
for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence except when
the claim is in any way related to the [related] Servicer’s indemnification
pursuant to this Section 4.05(c), the failure of the [related] Servicer to
service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, the breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section
4.05(a) or the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the
[related] Servicer.
Section
4.06. The
Servicer[s].
(a) Merger
or Consolidation of [the/a] Servicer.
[The/Each] Servicer shall 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 shall 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.
80
Any
Person into which the [related] Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or
any
corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the
[related] Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business
of
the [related] 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, or the parent company of such successor or surviving Person,
shall be an institution (i) having a generally accepted accounting principals
(“GAAP”) net worth not less than $25,000,000, (ii) which is a HUD-approved
mortgagee whose primary business is in origination and servicing of residential
mortgage loans, and (iii) who is a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac approved
seller/servicer in good standing; provided, however, that if such successor
or
surviving Person does not have a GAAP net worth of at least $25,000,000, the
parent company of such successor or surviving Person shall act as guarantor
with
respect to such successor's obligations under this Agreement.
(b) Limitation
on Liability of the Servicer[s] and Others.
Neither
the Servicer[s] nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of
the
Servicer[s] shall be under any liability to the Master Servicer, the Depositor,
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator for any action taken or for
refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this
Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided,
however,
that
this provision shall not protect the Servicer[s] 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 any
breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (except to the extent
otherwise covered by Section 4.05(c)). The Servicer[s] and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Servicer[s] may rely in good faith on any
document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person
respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer[s] 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 expense or liability;
provided,
however,
that
the Servicer[s] may undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or
desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties
hereto. In such event, the [related] Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement
from the Custodial Account for the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such
action.
The
Servicer[s] and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer[s]
shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any and all
Liabilities incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this
Agreement or the Certificates, except to the extent such Liabilities resulted
from or arose out of the negligence, bad faith or willful misfeasance in the
performance of the [related] Servicer’s (or any director, officer, employee or
agent of the [related] Servicer) duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder.
81
(c) Limitation
on Resignation and Assignment by the Servicer[s].
The
Servicer[s] shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations
and
duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the [related] Servicer
and the Master Servicer or upon the determination that its duties hereunder
are
no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured
by the [related] Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation
of
the [related] Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect delivered to the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, which
Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to each of them.
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 4.08.
With
respect to the retention of the [related] Servicer to service the Mortgage
Loans
hereunder, the [related] Servicer acknowledges that the Seller, Master Servicer
and Trustee have acted in reliance upon the [related] 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
[related] 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,
other than in the normal course of business, without the prior written approval
of the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, which consent shall not
be
unreasonably withheld; provided
that the
[related] Servicer may assign the Agreement and the servicing hereunder without
the consent of the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee to an affiliate
of the [related] Servicer to which all servicing of the [related] 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 [related] Servicer, such affiliate has a GAAP net worth
of
at least $25,000,000 and (iii) such affiliate shall deliver to the Seller,
the
Master Servicer and the Trustee 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.
Without
in any way limiting the generality of this Section 4.06(c), in the event that
the [related] Servicer shall assign this Agreement or the servicing
responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion
thereof without (i) satisfying the requirements set forth herein or (ii) the
prior written consent of the then such parties shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any
liability whatsoever to the [related] Servicer (other than with respect to
accrued but unpaid Servicing Fees and Servicing Advances remaining unpaid)
or
any third party. Nothing in this Section shall restrict the right of the
[related] Servicer to cause the Mortgage Loans to be subserviced as provided
in
this Agreement.
(d) Successor
Servicers.
The
provisions of Sections 4.06(a), (b) and (c) shall apply to any successor to
the
Servicer hereunder.
82
Section
4.07. Termination
for Cause.
Any
of
the following occurrences shall constitute an event of default (each, a
“Servicer Event of Default”) on the part of the [related] Servicer:
(i) [any
failure by the [related] Servicer to remit to the Master Servicer any payment
required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied
for a period of one (1) Business Day; or
(ii) failure
by the [related] Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect
any
other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the [related] Servicer
set
forth in this Agreement (other than Sections 4.04(d) and 4.04(e)) which
continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which
written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the [related] Servicer by the Master Servicer and the remedial
period provided for herein has expired; or
(iii) the
[related] 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 [related] Servicer's
ability to perform its obligations hereunder; or
(iv) a
decree
or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction
for
the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
readjustment of debt, including bankruptcy, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of
its
affairs, shall have been entered against the [related] Servicer and such decree
or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period
of
[sixty (60)] days; or
(v) the
[related] Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver
or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets
and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the [related] Servicer
or
of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(vi) the
[related] Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts 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,
voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(vii) the
[related] Servicer ceases to be approved by either Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac
as
a mortgage loan seller or servicer for more than [thirty (30)] days;
or
(viii) the
[related] Servicer attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation
hereunder or the [related] Servicer attempts, without the consent of the Master
Servicer, 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;
or
83
(ix) the
[related] Servicer fails to meet the eligibility criteria set forth in the
last
sentence of Section 4.06(a); or
(x) failure
by the [related] Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period,
its
obligations under Sections 4.04(d) or 4.04(e) which failure continues unremedied
for a period of [fifteen (15)] days after the date on which written notice
of
such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
[related] Servicer by the Master Servicer.]
Then,
and
in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been
remedied, the Master Servicer, by notice in writing to the [related] Servicer,
in addition to whatever rights the Master Servicer may have under Sections
3.03
and 4.05(c) and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief
and
specific performance, may, and shall, if so directed by the Majority
Certificateholders, terminate all the rights and obligations of the [related]
Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds
thereof without compensating the [related] Servicer for the same. On or after
the receipt by the [related] Servicer of such written notice, all authority
and
power of the [related] 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 4.08. Upon written request from the Master
Servicer, the [related] Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and
all
documents and other instruments, place in such successor's possession all
Mortgage Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and
related documents, or otherwise, at the [related] Servicer's sole expense.
[The/Each] Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Master Servicer and such
successor in effecting the termination of the [related] 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 [related] Servicer to the Custodial Account
or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans
or
any REO Property.
By
a
written notice, the Master Servicer may waive any default by the Servicer[s]
in
the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any
waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event
of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every
purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent
expressly so waived.
Section
4.08. Successor
to Servicer.
Prior
to termination of the [related] Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under
this Agreement pursuant to Sections 4.06(c), 4.07 and 5.10, the Master Servicer
shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the [related] Servicer’s
responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii)
appoint a successor having the characteristics set forth in Section 4.06(a)
hereof acceptable to the Rating Agencies, as evidenced by a letter from each
Rating Agency to the effect that such an appointment will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then current rating of any of
the
Certificates, and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the [related] Servicer under this
Agreement prior to the termination of the [related] Servicer’s responsibilities,
duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment
and assumption, the Master Servicer may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as the Master
Servicer and such successor shall agree. In the event that the [related]
Servicer's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should
be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the [related] 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 [related] 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 [related] Servicer of the
representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 4.05(a) and the remedies
available to the Master Servicer and the Trustee under Sections 4.05(b) and
4.05(c), it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections
4.05(a), 4.05(b) and 4.05(c) shall be applicable to the [related] Servicer
notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the
termination of this Agreement.
84
Any
successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to
the [related] Servicer and to the Master Servicer an instrument accepting such
appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the
[related] Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this
Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the [related] Servicer or this
Agreement pursuant to Section 4.06(c), 4.07 or 5.10 shall not affect any claims
that the Master Servicer may have against the [related] Servicer arising prior
to any such termination or resignation.
The
[related] Servicer 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 [related] Servicer shall
account for all funds. The [related] 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 [related] Servicer.
Within [ten (10)] Business Days of the execution and delivery of such
instruments, the successor shall reimburse the [related] Servicer for
unrecovered Servicing Advances which the successor retains hereunder and which
would otherwise have been recovered by the [related] Servicer pursuant to this
Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.
Upon
a
successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the [related] Servicer shall
notify by mail the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator,
the Seller and the Depositor of such appointment.
85
Section
4.09. [Subservicers
and Subservicing Agreements;] Subcontractors.
(a) [The
Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer on behalf of the [related]
Servicer 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
related subservicing Agreement, and in either case shall be a Xxxxxxx Mac or
Xxxxxx Mae 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 Xxx or for seller/servicers imposed by Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac, or which would require notification to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. 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 [related] Servicer 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 [related]
Servicer of the Subservicer shall not release the [related] Servicer from any
of
its obligations hereunder and the [related] Servicer shall remain responsible
hereunder for all acts and omissions of the Subservicer as fully as if such
acts
and omissions were those of the [related] Servicer. The [related] Servicer
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 [related] Servicer
shall notify the Master Servicer promptly in writing upon the appointment of
any
Subservicer.]
(b) [At
the
cost and expense of the [related] Servicer, without any right of reimbursement
from the Custodial Account, the [related] Servicer 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 [related] Servicer,
at the [related] Servicer’s option, from electing to service the Mortgage Loans
itself. In the event that the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this
Agreement are terminated and if requested to do so by the Master Servicer,
the
[related] Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and
responsibilities of the Subservicer effective as of the date of termination
of
the [related] Servicer. The [related] Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses
or
penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of
the
subservicer from the [related] Servicer’s own funds without reimbursement from
the Trust Fund.]
(c) [Any
Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the
Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the
Subservicer and the [related] Servicer alone and the Master Servicer and the
Trustee shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights,
obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to any Subservicer, except
that
the Trustee shall have such claims or rights that arise as a result of any
funds
held by a Subservicer in trust for or on behalf of the Trust Fund.
Notwithstanding the execution of any subservicing agreement, the [related]
Servicer shall not be relieved of any liability hereunder and shall remain
obligated and liable for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage
Loans.]
86
(d) [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 [related] Servicer alone, and none of the Master Servicer,
the
Trustee, the Depositor or the Trust Fund shall have no obligations, duties
or
liabilities with respect to the subservicer including no obligation, duty or
liability of such parties to pay the Subservicer's fees and expenses. For
purposes of distributions and advances by the [related] Servicer pursuant to
this Agreement, the [related] Servicer shall be deemed to have received a
payment on a Mortgage Loan when the Subservicer has received such
payment.]
(e) [As
a
condition to the utilization of any Subservicer determined to be “participating
in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122, the Servicer shall
obtain from any such Subservicer used by the [related] Servicer for the benefit
of the Depositor such Subservicer’s written agreement (in form and substance
satisfactory to the Depositor) to comply with the provisions of Sections 4.04(c)
and (d) of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the
[related] Servicer.]
(f) As
a
condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122, the
[related] Servicer shall obtain from any such Subcontractor used by the
[related] Servicer [(or by any Subservicer)] for the benefit of the Depositor
such Subcontractor’s written agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to
the Depositor) to comply with the provisions of Sections 4.04(c) and (d) of
this
Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the [related]
Servicer.
Section
4.10. Superior
Liens.
(a) The
Servicer[s] shall file (or cause to be filed) a request for notice of any action
by a superior lienholder under a Superior Lien for the protection of the
Trustee’s interest, where permitted by local law and whenever applicable state
law does not require that a junior lienholder be named as a party defendant
in
foreclosure proceedings in order to foreclosure such junior lienholder’s equity
of redemption.
(b)
If the
[related] Servicer is notified that any superior lienholder has accelerated
or
intends to accelerate the obligations secured by the Superior Lien, or has
declared or intends to declare a default under the mortgage or the promissory
note secured thereby, or has filed or intends to file an election to have the
Mortgaged Property sold or foreclosed, the [related] Servicer shall take, on
behalf of the Trust, whatever actions are necessary to protect the interests
of
the Trust Fund in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The [related]
Servicer shall not make such a Servicing Advance except to the extent that
it
determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such advance would be
recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan. The
[related] Servicer shall thereafter take such action as is necessary to recover
the amount so advanced.
87
(c) The
Servicer[s] may, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, consent to
the
refinancing of any Superior Lien on a Mortgaged Property.

subject to any charter provision, bylaw or any other corporate restriction
or
any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, law or regulation that may

obligations under this Agreement or that requires the consent of any third
person to the execution of this Agreement or the performance by the Master
Servicer of its obligations under this Agreement;
(vi) no
litigation is pending or, to the best of the Master Servicer’s knowledge,

consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for
such
consents, approvals, authorizations and orders (if any) as have been
obtained;

coverage as is required hereunder; and
(xi) the
information about the Master Servicer under the heading “The Master Servicer” in
the Offering Documents relating to the Master Servicer does not include an
untrue statement of a material fact and does not omit to state a material fact,
with respect to the statements made, necessary in order to make the statements
in light of the circumstances under which they were made not
misleading.
89
(b) It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
this
Section 5.01 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The

the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Servicer and hold them harmless
against any loss, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related
costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand,
defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach
of
the Master Servicer’s representations and warranties contained in this Section
5.01. It is understood and agreed that the enforcement of the obligation of
the

termination of the Master Servicer as Master Servicer hereunder, and any
termination of this Agreement.
Any
cause
of action against the Master Servicer relating to or arising out of the breach
of any representations and warranties made in this Section shall accrue upon
discovery of such breach by the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee, the

Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and
omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The

Fidelity Bond shall be in such form and amount that would be consistent with

Depositor and the Trustee, upon request, with a copy of such policy and fidelity

Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and a Servicer Fidelity Bond

Securities Administrator. Any amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans collected
by the Master Servicer under any such bond or policy shall be promptly remitted
by the Master Servicer to the Securities Administrator for deposit into the

nationally recognized firm of Independent Accountants to the effect that such
statements were examined and prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding
year.
Section
5.04. Power
to Act; Procedures.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans, provided
that the
Master Servicer shall not take, or knowingly permit the Servicer[s] to take,
any
action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund,
the Trustee or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and
interests of the Depositor, the Trust Fund, the Trustee and the
Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall represent
and
protect the interests of the Trust Fund, the Trustee and the Certificateholders
in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its
own
portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its
own
name, and the [related] Servicer, to the extent such authority is delegated
to
such Servicer under this Agreement, is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee when the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as the case may be, believes
it appropriate in its best judgment and in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices, to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself and the
Certificateholders, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or any of them,
any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full
release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to
the
Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Trustee shall
furnish the Master Servicer, upon request, with any powers of attorney (on
the
standard form used by the Trustee) empowering the Master Servicer or the
Servicer[s] 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 this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other
documents as the Master Servicer may request, necessary or appropriate to enable
the Master Servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans and carry out its
duties hereunder, and to allow the Servicer[s] to service the Mortgage Loans
in
each case in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (and the Trustee
or
the Securities Administrator shall have no liability for misuse of any such
powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Servicer[s]). 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, then
upon request of the Trustee, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee
in
the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section [6.10]. In no event shall
the Master Servicer, without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any
action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating
the Master Servicer’s representative capacity or (ii) take any action with the
intent to cause, and which actually does cause, the Trustee to be registered
to
do business in any state. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for
any and all costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Trustee in
connection with the negligent or willful misuse of such powers of attorney
by
the Master Servicer. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master
Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those
instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to
be
the agent of the Trustee.
91
(b) In
master
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall employ
procedures and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises
in master servicing and administering loans for its own account, giving due
consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not
conflict with this Agreement.
Section
5.05. Enforcement
of [Servicer’s/Servicers’] and Master Servicer’s Obligations.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall not be required to (i) take any action with respect to
the
servicing of any Mortgage Loan that [the/a] Servicer is not required to take
under this Agreement and (ii) cause the Servicer[s] to take any action or
refrain from taking any action if this Agreement does not require the
Servicer[s] to take such action or refrain from taking such action.
(b) The
Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trust Fund, the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of the Servicer hereunder,
and
shall, in the event that [the/a] Servicer fails to perform its obligations
in
accordance herewith, terminate the rights and obligations of the [related]
Servicer hereunder and either act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans
or
cause other parties hereto to either assume the obligations of the [related]
Servicer under this Agreement (or agree to execute and deliver a successor
servicing or subservicing agreement with a successor servicer). Such
enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims,
termination of servicing or subservicing rights and the pursuit of other
appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent
and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment,
would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master
Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall
be reimbursed therefor initially (i) from a general recovery resulting from
such
enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts
due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, (ii) from a specific recovery
of
costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such
enforcement is directed, and then, (iii) to the extent that such amounts are
insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer for the costs of such enforcement,
from the Collection Account.
92
Section
5.06. Collection
Account.
(a) On
the
Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall open and shall thereafter maintain
a
segregated account held in trust in the name of the Trustee (the “Collection
Account”), entitled “Collection Account,
[ ], as Trustee, in
trust for Holders of the TBW Mortgage Trust Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series [ ].” The
Collection Account shall relate solely to the Certificates issued by the
Trustee, and funds deposited in the Collection Account shall not be commingled
with any other monies.
(b) The
Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. If an existing Collection
Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Securities Administrator shall
establish a new Collection Account that is an Eligible Account within [ten
(10)]
days and transfer all funds and investment property on deposit in such existing
Collection Account into such new Collection Account.
(c) The
Master Servicer shall give to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee
prior
written notice of the name and address of the depository institution at which
the Collection Account is maintained and the account number of such Collection
Account. The Master Servicer shall take such actions as are necessary to cause
the depository institution holding the Collection Account to hold such account
in the name of the Trustee. On each Distribution Date, the entire amount on
deposit in the Collection Account relating to the Mortgage Loans (subject to
permitted withdrawals set forth in Section 5.07), other than amounts not
included in Interest Funds or Principal Funds to be paid to Certificateholders
for such Distribution Date, shall be applied to make the requested payment
of
principal and/or interest on each Class of Certificates.
(d) [The
Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account
on the earlier of the applicable Distribution Date and one Business Day
following receipt thereof, the following amounts received or payments made
by
the Master Servicer (other than in respect of principal of and interest on
the
Mortgage Loans due on or before the
Cut-off Date):
(i) all
remittances from the Custodial Account to the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 4.03;
93
(ii) all
Monthly Advances made by the Servicer[s] or the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 6.04 hereof and any payment in respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls
paid by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 5.16 hereof; and
(iii) the
Purchase Price of any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Depositor or the Seller
during the related Prepayment Period or any other Person and any Substitution
Amount related to any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan.
(e) Funds
in
the Collection Account may be invested by the Master Servicer in Eligible
Investments selected by and at the written direction of the Master Servicer,
which shall mature not later than one Business Day prior to the next
Distribution Date (or on the Distribution Date with respect to any Eligible
Investment of the Master Servicer or any other fund managed or advised by it
or
any Affiliate) and any such Eligible Investment shall not be sold or disposed
of
prior to its maturity. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name
of the Master Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. All income and gain net of the Trustee Fee, the Custodian
Fee and any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in
the
Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and shall
be
subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time, subject to Section 5.07
and shall not be part of the Trust Fund. The amount of any losses incurred
in
respect of any such investments shall be deposited in such Collection Account
by
the Master Servicer out of its own funds, without any right of reimbursement
therefor, immediately as realized. The foregoing requirements for deposit in
the
Collection Account are exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments of interest on funds in
the
Collection Account and payments in the nature of late payment charges,
assumption fees and other incidental fees and charges relating to the Mortgage
Loans need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account
and
may be retained by the Master Servicer or the [related] Servicer, as applicable,
as additional servicing compensation. If the Master Servicer deposits in the
Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may
at
any time withdraw such amount from such Collection Account.]
Section
5.07. Application
of Funds in the Collection Account.
The
Master Servicer shall withdraw funds from the Collection Account for payments
to
the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 6.01. In addition, the Master
Servicer may prior to making the payment pursuant to Section 6.01 from time
to
time make withdrawals from the Collection Account for the following
purposes:
(i) [to
pay
to the Trustee, the Trustee Fee, and to pay to the Custodian its fees, in each
case on the Distribution Date each year in the month in which such Trustee
Fee
and the fees of the Custodian, as applicable, are due and payable pursuant
to
the terms of the respective fee letter agreements with the Trustee and the
Custodian;
(ii) to
reimburse the Master Servicer or the [related] Servicer, as applicable, for
any
previously unreimbursed Monthly Advances or Servicing Advances made by any
such
party, such right to reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited
to amounts received on or in respect of a particular Mortgage Loan (including,
for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and amounts
representing Insurance Proceeds with respect to the property subject to the
related Mortgage) which represent late recoveries (net of the applicable
Servicing Fee) of payments of principal or interest respecting which any such
Monthly Advance was made, it being understood, in the case of any such
reimbursement, that the Master Servicer’s or [related] Servicer’s right thereto
shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders;
94
(iii) to
reimburse the Master Servicer or the [related] Servicer following a final
liquidation of a Mortgage Loan for any previously unreimbursed Monthly Advances
made by any such party (A) that such party determines in good faith will not
be
recoverable from amounts representing late recoveries of payments of principal
or interest respecting the particular Mortgage Loan as to which such Monthly
Advance was made or from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or
Insurance Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan and/or (B) to the extent
that such unreimbursed Monthly Advances exceed the related Liquidation Proceeds,
Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, it being understood, in the case
of
each such reimbursement, that the Master Servicer’s or [related] Servicer’s
right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the
Certificateholders;
(iv) to
reimburse the Master Servicer or the [related] Servicer from Liquidation
Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds for Liquidation Expenses
and for amounts expended by it pursuant to Section 4.02(n) in good faith in
connection with the restoration of damaged property and, to the extent that
Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds after such
reimbursement exceed the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage
Rate less the Servicing Fee Rate for such Mortgage Loan to the Due Date next
succeeding the date of its receipt of such Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation
Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, to pay to the Master Servicer or the [related]
Servicer out of such excess the amount of any unpaid assumption fees, late
payment charges or other Mortgagor charges on the related Mortgage Loan and
to
retain any excess remaining thereafter as additional servicing compensation,
it
being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement or payment, that such
Master Servicer’s or [related] Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the
rights of the Certificateholders;
(v) to
pay to
the Depositor or the Seller or any other Person, as applicable, with respect
to
each Mortgage Loan or REO Property acquired in respect thereof that has been
purchased pursuant to this Agreement, all amounts received thereon and not
paid
on the date on which the related repurchase was effected, and to pay to the
applicable party any Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances to the extent
specified in the definition of Purchase Price;
95
(vi) to
the
extent not paid by the [related] Servicer, to pay any insurance premium with
respect to a Mortgage Loan;
(vii) to
pay to
the Master Servicer income earned on the investment of funds on deposit in
the
Collection Account;
(viii) to
make
payment to itself, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the
Servicer[s], the Trustee, the Custodian and others pursuant to any provision
of
any Operative Agreement;
(ix) to
withdraw funds deposited in error in the Collection Account;
(x) to
clear
and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Article IX; and
(xi) to
reimburse a successor master servicer (solely in its capacity as successor
master servicer), for any fee or advance occasioned by a termination of the
Master Servicer and the assumption of such duties by the Trustee as successor
master servicer or a successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee pursuant
to Section 8.01, in each case to the extent not reimbursed by the terminated
Master Servicer, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement
or
payment, that the right of the Master Servicer or the Trustee thereto shall
be
prior to the rights of the Certificateholders.
In
connection with withdrawals pursuant to subclauses (ii) through (iv) above,
the
Master Servicer’s or the [related] Servicer’s or such other Person’s entitlement
thereto is limited to collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage
Loan. The Master Servicer shall therefore keep and maintain a separate
accounting for each Mortgage Loan for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal
from the Collection Account it maintains pursuant to such
subclauses.]

on
each Class of Certificates and information regarding the expenses of the Trust
Fund. The Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have satisfied such
requirement if it forwards such information in any other format permitted by

information as is necessary for the Securities Administrator to prepare such
reports.
100
(d) The
Securities Administrator shall furnish any other information that is required
by
the Code and regulations thereunder to be made available to Certificateholders.
The Master Servicer shall provide the Securities Administrator with such
information as is necessary for the Securities Administrator to prepare such
reports (and the Securities Administrator may rely solely upon such
information).
Section
5.09. Termination
of [a] Servicer; Successor Servicers.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of
the
[related] Servicer upon the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default as set
forth in Section 4.07; provided,
however,
that in
the event of termination of the [related] Servicer, the Master Servicer shall
provide for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by a successor servicer as
provided in Section 4.08.
The
parties acknowledge that notwithstanding the preceding sentence, there may
be a
transition period, not to exceed 90 days, in order to effect the transfer of
servicing to a successor servicer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to
be
reimbursed by the [related] Servicer (or by the Trust Fund, if the [related]
Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs
associated with the transfer of servicing, including without limitation, any
costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data
and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data, as may
be
required by the Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in
the
servicing data or otherwise to enable the Master Servicer to service the
Mortgage Loans properly and effectively.
(b) If
the
Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it shall not assume liability
for
the representations and warranties of the Servicer that it replaces. The Master
Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the successor Servicer assume
liability for the representations and warranties made by the terminated Servicer
and in the event of any such assumption by the successor servicer, the Master
Servicer may, in the exercise of its business judgment, release the terminated
Servicer from liability for such representations and warranties.
(c) If
the
Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it will have no obligation to
make
a Monthly Advance if it determines in its reasonable judgment that such Monthly
Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.
Section
5.10. Master
Servicer Liable for Enforcement.
The
Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the
Mortgage Loans are serviced in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the provisions of
Article IV for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall
be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Servicer for indemnification
of
the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed
to
limit or modify such indemnification. Except as expressly set forth herein,
the
Master Servicer shall have no liability for the acts or omissions of the
[related] Servicer in the performance by such Servicer of its obligations under
Article IV.
101
Section
5.11. Assumption
of Master Servicing by Trustee.
(a) In
the
event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer
(including by reason of any Master Servicer Event of Default under Section
8.01
of this Agreement), the Trustee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of such Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee, its designee or
any
successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee shall be deemed to have
assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest herein, except that the Master
Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations of the
Master Servicer accruing prior to its replacement as Master Servicer, and shall
be liable to the Trustee, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the
Trustee from and against all costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee as a result of such
liability or obligations of the Master Servicer and in connection with the
Trustee’s assumption (but not its performance, except to the extent that costs
or liability of the Trustee are created or increased as a result of negligent
or
wrongful acts or omissions of the Master Servicer prior to its replacement
as
Master Servicer) of the Master Servicer’s obligations, duties or
responsibilities thereunder.
(b) The
Master Servicer that has been terminated shall, upon request of the Trustee
but
at the expense of such Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all
documents and records relating to the Mortgage Loans and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect
the orderly and efficient transfer of master servicing to the assuming party.
Section
5.12. Release
of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon
(i)
becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) the receipt
by the [related] Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been or
will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the [related]
Servicer, promptly notify the Trustee (or the Custodian) by a certification
(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 Collection Account maintained by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
5.06 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall deliver
a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit A-5 hereto to the Trustee or the
Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt of such certification
and Request for Release, the Trustee or the Custodian (with the consent, and
at
the direction of the Trustee), shall promptly release the related Mortgage
File
to the [related] Servicer and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility
with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the [related]
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 Collection
Account.

(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any Primary Insurance
Policy, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and
furnished to the Trustee by the [related] Servicer (in form reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such
proceedings. The Trustee or the Custodian, shall, upon request of the Master
Servicer or of the [related] Servicer, as applicable, and delivery to the
Trustee or the Custodian, of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing
Officer, release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control
to
the Master Servicer (or the [related] Servicer, as applicable). Such trust
receipt shall obligate the Master Servicer or the [related] Servicer, as
applicable, to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee or the Custodian, as
applicable, when the need therefor by the Master Servicer or the [related]
Servicer, as applicable, 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 Collection 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.
(c) 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,
if required, be followed by an assignment of mortgage, without recourse,
representation or warranty from the Trustee to the Seller and the related
Mortgage Note shall be endorsed either in blank or without recourse by the
Trustee and be returned to the Seller. 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, if required, 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.

Trustee such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the Master
Servicer or the Servicer[s] from time to time as are required by the terms
hereof to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian. Any funds received
by
the Master Servicer or by the Servicer[s] in respect of any Mortgage Loan or

as Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect
of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Trustee and the

their
respective agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during
normal business hours, and to 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.

and deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable
to
the Master Servicer or the [related] Servicer under this Agreement and shall
be
authorized to remit such funds to the Securities Administrator in accordance
with this Agreement.
(c) The
Servicer[s] and the Master Servicer each hereby acknowledges that concurrently
with the execution of this Agreement, the Trustee shall own or, to the extent
that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem the conveyance of the Mortgage
Loans from the Seller to the Depositor not to constitute a sale, the Trustee
shall have a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and in all Mortgage Files
representing such Mortgage Loans and in all funds and investment property now
or
hereafter held by, or under the control of, the Servicer[s] or the Master
Servicer that are collected by the Servicer[s] or the Master Servicer in
connection with the Mortgage Loans, whether as scheduled installments of
principal and interest or as full or partial prepayments of principal or
interest or as Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds
or otherwise, and in all proceeds of the foregoing and proceeds of proceeds
(but
excluding any fee or other amounts to which the Servicer[s] or the Master
Servicer is entitled to hereunder); and the Servicer[s] and the Master Servicer
each agrees that so long as the Mortgage Loans are assigned to and held by
the
Trustee or the Custodian, all documents or instruments constituting part of
the
Mortgage Files, and such funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which come into
the possession or custody of, or which are subject to the control of, the Master
Servicer or the Servicer[s] shall be held by the Master Servicer or the
Servicer[s] for and on behalf of the Trustee as the Trustee’s agent and bailee
for purposes of perfecting the Trustee’s security interest therein as provided
by the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable laws.
(d) The
Master Servicer agrees that it shall not, and shall not authorize the
Servicer[s] to, create, incur or subject any Mortgage Loans, or any funds that
are deposited in any Custodial Account, Escrow Account or the Collection
Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to or
for
the benefit of the Trustee, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment,
levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, nor assert by legal action or
otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage Loan or any funds
collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan.
104

On or
before the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall cause to be delivered to

Agreement, the Trustee (or the Custodian) shall also retain possession and
custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and

applicable law with any other activities carried on by it and cannot be cured.
Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall
be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel that shall be Independent to such effect
delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until
the
Trustee shall have assumed, or a successor master servicer shall have been

to
the Trustee.
Section
5.21. Assignment
or Delegation of Duties by the Master Servicer.
Except
as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer
any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or
delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to
perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the
Master Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee and the Depositor shall have

that
the Master Servicer shall have the right without the prior written consent
of
the Trustee or the Depositor to delegate or assign to or subcontract with or
authorize or appoint an Affiliate of the Master Servicer to perform and carry
out any duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and carried out by
the
Master Servicer hereunder. In no case, however, shall any such delegation,
subcontracting or assignment to an Affiliate of the Master Servicer relieve
the
Master Servicer of any liability hereunder. Notice of such permitted assignment
shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer to the Depositor and the Trustee.
If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are
transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire amount of compensation

on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others.
(a) The
Master Servicer undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement.
(b) No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Master Servicer
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act
or
its own willful misconduct; provided,
however,
that
the duties and obligations of the Master Servicer shall be determined solely
by
the express provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be
liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement; no implied covenants or obligations
shall be read into this Agreement against the Master Servicer and, in absence
of
bad faith on the part of the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
the
opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to
the
Master Servicer and conforming to the requirements of this
Agreement.
(c) Neither
the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents
of
the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trustee or the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of
any
action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment;
provided,
however,
that
this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such person against
any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in its performance of its duties or by reason of
reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Agreement. The
Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to indemnification by the Trust Fund and will be
held
harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with
any
legal action relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or any other Operative
Agreement other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of his or its
duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of his or its obligations
and duties hereunder. The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee
or
agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any
kind
prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder. The Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to appear
in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties
to
master service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and that
in
its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided,
however,
that
the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that
it
may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights
and
duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Fund and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor
out of the Collection Account it maintains as provided by Section
5.07.
108
Section
5.23. Indemnification;
Third Party Claims.
The
Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Trust Fund, the Trustee
and the Servicer[s] and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and
any
other costs, liability, fees and expenses that the Depositor, the Trust Fund,
the Trustee or the Servicer[s] may sustain as a result of the failure of the
Master Servicer to perform its duties and master service the Mortgage Loans
in
compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Depositor, the Trust Fund,
the
Trustee, and the Servicer[s] shall immediately notify the Master Servicer if
a
claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement, the Mortgage
Loans entitling the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trustee or the Servicer[s]
to
indemnification under this Section 5.23, whereupon the Master Servicer shall
assume 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 them in respect of such
claim. The failure to provide such immediate notice shall not affect the Master
Servicer’s obligation pursuant to this Section 5.23 to indemnify the Depositor,
the Trust Fund, the Trustee and the Servicer[s], except to the extent that
the
Master Servicer is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify.
Section

Index.
In the
event that the Index for any Mortgage Loan, as specified in the related Mortgage
Note, becomes unavailable for any reason, the [related] Servicer shall select
an
alternative index in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Note or, if
such
Mortgage Note does not make provision for the selection of an alternative index
in such event, the [related] Servicer shall, subject to applicable law, select
an alternative index based on information comparable to that used in connection
with the original Index and, in either case, such alternative index shall
thereafter be the Index for such Mortgage Loan.
Section
5.25. Transfer
of Servicing.
[The/Each] Servicer agrees that it shall provide written notice to the Master
Servicer and the Trustee [thirty] days prior to any proposed transfer or

of written consent of the Master Servicer to such transfer, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld;
(ii) Such
successor servicer must satisfy the servicer eligibility standards set forth
in
Section 4.06(a);

(iii) Such
successor servicer must execute and deliver to the Master Servicer and the
Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Master Servicer and the Trustee, that contains an assumption by such successor
servicer of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant
and
condition to be performed and observed by the Servicer[s]
(iv) At
the
time of the transfer, there must be delivered to the Trustee a letter from
each
Rating Agency to the effect that such transfer of servicing will not result
in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of
the
Certificates; and
(v) The
Seller shall, at its cost and expense, take such steps, or cause the terminated
Servicer to take such steps, as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate
and evidence the transfer of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans to such
successor servicer, including, but not limited to, the following: (A) to the
extent required by the terms of the Mortgage Loans and by applicable federal
and
state laws and regulations, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to timely
mail to each obligor under a Mortgage Loan any required notices or disclosures
describing the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to the successor
servicer; (B) prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the
Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to transmit to any related insurer
notification of such transfer of servicing; (C) on or prior to the effective
date of such transfer of servicing, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer
to
deliver to the successor servicer all Mortgage Loan Documents and any related
records or materials; (D) on or prior to the effective date of such transfer
of
servicing, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to transfer to the
successor servicer, or, if such transfer occurs after a Servicer Remittance
Date
but before the next succeeding Distribution Date, to the Securities
Administrator, all funds held by the prior Servicer in respect of the Mortgage
Loans; (E) on or prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing,
the
Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to, after the effective date of the
transfer of servicing to the successor servicer, continue to forward to such
successor servicer, within one Business Day of receipt, the amount of any
payments or other recoveries received by the prior Servicer, and to notify
the
successor servicer of the source and proper application of each such payment
or
recovery; and (F) the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to, after the
effective date of transfer of servicing to the successor servicer, continue
to
cooperate with the successor servicer to facilitate such transfer in such manner
and to such extent as the successor servicer may reasonably request.

110
Section
5.27. REO
Property.
(a) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, acting on behalf
of
the Trustee hereunder, shall not permit the Servicer[s] to, rent, lease, or
otherwise earn income on behalf of any REMIC with respect to any REO Property
which might cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure” property
within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt
by
any REMIC of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of
section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or any “net income from foreclosure property”
which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions unless the Master Servicer
has advised, or has caused the Servicer[s] to advise, the Trustee in writing
to
the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions, such action would not adversely
affect the status of any REMIC as a REMIC and any income generated for any
REMIC
by the REO Property would not result in the imposition of a tax upon such
REMIC.
(b) The
Master Servicer shall make, or shall cause the applicable Servicer to make,
reasonable efforts to sell any REO Property for its fair market value. In any
event, however, the Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the Servicer[s] to,
dispose of any REO Property within three years from the end of the calendar
year
of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Trustee has received a grant
of
extension from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, under the REMIC
Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and under applicable state
law,
the REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period without adversely affecting
the REMIC status of such REMIC or causing the imposition of a Federal or state
tax upon such REMIC. If the Trustee has received such an extension, then (a)
the
Trustee shall provide a copy of such extension to the Master Servicer and (b)
the Trustee, or the Master Servicer, acting on its behalf hereunder, shall,
or
shall cause the Servicer[s] to, continue to attempt to sell the REO Property
for
its fair market value for such period longer than three years as such extension
permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Trustee has not received such an
extension and the Trustee, or the Master Servicer acting on behalf of the
Trustee hereunder, or the [related] Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property
within 33 months after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the Trustee
has
received such an extension, and the Trustee, or the Master Servicer acting
on
behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable to sell the REO Property within
the
period ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Master
Servicer shall, or shall cause the Servicer[s] to, before the end of the three
year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, (i) purchase such REO
Property at a price equal to the REO Property’s fair market value or (ii)
auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Master
Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to
the
expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case may
be.

Remittance Date as provided herein. If, on any Determination Date, the [related]
Servicer determines that any Monthly Payments due during the related Collection
Period have not been received, such Servicer shall advance such amount to the
extent provided in Section 4.03(c) hereof. If any Servicer fails to remit
Monthly Advances required to be made under Section 4.03(c) hereof, the Master
Servicer shall itself make, or shall cause the successor Servicer to make,
such
Monthly Advance on the Servicer Remittance Date immediately following such
Determination Date. If the Master Servicer determines that a Monthly Advance
is
required, it shall on the Business Day immediately prior to the related
Distribution Date deposit in the Collection Account (from its own funds or
funds
advanced by the [related] Servicer) immediately available funds in an amount
equal to such Monthly Advance. The Master Servicer and the [related] Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account, and the
[related] Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Custodial

Trustee, as successor Master Servicer, shall, on or before the related
Distribution Date, deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the

the
[related] Servicer that would have been deposited in such Collection Account
over (b) the amount of any Monthly Advance made by the Master Servicer or the
[related] Servicer with respect to such Distribution Date; provided,
however,
that
the Trustee as successor Master Servicer shall be required to make such Monthly
Advance only if it is not prohibited by law from doing so and it has determined
that such Monthly Advance would be recoverable from amounts to be received
with
respect to such Mortgage Loan, including late payments, Liquidation Proceeds,
Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, or otherwise. The Trustee shall
be
entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account for Monthly Advances
made
by it pursuant to this Section 6.04 as if it were the Master Servicer and shall

If
such
amounts are insufficient to cover the total amount of any Basis Risk Shortfall,
the only other source of coverage will be the Monthly Excess Cashflow, if any,
that would otherwise be payable to the Ownership Certificate.
(d) On
the
date on which the Cap Agreements have terminated and any amounts therefrom
have
been paid in accordance with Section 6.05(c) above, any amounts remaining in

exercise corporate trust powers, (iii) have a combined capital and surplus
of at
least $[50,000,000], (iv) be subject to supervision or examination by federal

to avoid such reduction) and (vi) not be an affiliate of the Servicer[s] or
any
successor Servicer. If such corporation or association publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this

shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its
most
recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee or
the

Section 7.08, such resignation is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor
trustee or securities administrator, as applicable, in accordance with Section
7.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 7.06. If no successor
trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice or
resignation, the resigning Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the
case
may be, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of
a successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable.
124
If
at any
time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible
in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.06 hereof and shall fail to resign
after written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee
or
the Securities Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be
adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust
Fund
by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and the
imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different
trustee, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor
trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument
shall
be delivered to each of the Trustee, the Servicer[s] and the successor
trustee.
The
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least [51]% of the Voting Interests

successor trustee to the Servicer[s], one complete set to the Trustee so removed
and one complete set to the successor so appointed. Notice of any removal of
the
Trustee shall be given to each Rating Agency by the successor
trustee.
Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 7.07 shall become effective
upon acceptance by the successor trustee of appointment as provided in Section
7.08 hereof.
Section
7.08. Successor
Trustee
or
Securities Administrator.
Any
successor trustee or successor securities administrator appointed as provided
in
Section 7.07 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor,
the
Seller, its predecessor trustee and the Servicer[s] an instrument accepting
such
appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee or predecessor securities administrator shall become
effective and such successor trustee or successor securities administrator,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with
all
the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with
the like effect as if originally named as trustee or securities administrator
herein. The Depositor, the Servicer[s], the Seller and the predecessor trustee
or predecessor securities administrator shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee or successor
securities administrator all such rights, powers, duties, and
obligations.
125
No
successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall accept appointment
as provided in this Section 7.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall be eligible under
the provisions of Section 7.06 hereof, and such appointment shall not adversely
affect the then current rating of the Certificates.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or successor securities
administrator as provided in this Section 7.08, the Depositor shall mail notice
of the succession of such trustee or securities administrator hereunder to
all
Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within
[10]

securities administrator, the successor trustee or successor securities
administrator shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Depositor.
Section
7.09. Merger
or Consolidation of Trustee
or
Securities Administrator.
Any
corporation into which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may be merged
or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to
the
business of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, shall be the successor
of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator hereunder, provided
that
such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.06 hereof,
without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of
any
of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section
7.10. Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting
any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund
or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the
Servicer[s] and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved
by
the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund,
and
to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of
the
Certificateholders such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever
is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.10, such
powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer[s] and the
Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the [related] Servicer shall
not
have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a
request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be
continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment.
No
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms
of
eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 7.06 and no notice to
Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee
shall be required under Section 7.08.
126
Every
separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) To
the
extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 7.10, all rights,
powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall
be
conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and each
such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that each
such
separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without
the
Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether
as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to the [related] Servicer hereunder), the
Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in
which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding
of title to the applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee
or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) No
trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not, and
shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or co-trustee
as
agent of the Trustee;
(iii) The
Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee
or co-trustee; and
(iv) The
Trust
Fund, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the payment of reasonable
compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any such separate trustee
or
co-trustee.
Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have
been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees at the same time,
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 VII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to
the
Servicer[s] and the Depositor.
Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee its
agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement
on
its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
127
Section
7.11. Tax
Matters.
(a) It
is
intended that the assets with respect to which the REMIC elections are to be
made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that
the
conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such
assets as, REMICs as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions.
In
furtherance of such intention, the Tax Matters Person covenants and agrees
that
it shall act as agent (and the Tax Matters Person is hereby appointed to act
as
agent) on behalf of each such REMIC and that in such capacity it shall: (i)
prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a
U.S.
Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any
successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file
or
cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable
state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each
taxable year with respect to each such REMIC (including IRS Form 8811, or any
successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service, in the time and manner
specified in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-7(b)(1)), containing such
information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code
or
state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules and prepare, or cause to be
prepared, and make available, or cause to be made available, to the
Certificateholders and the Securities Administrator the schedules, statements
or
information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby,
including the information described in Treasury Regulation Section
1.6049-7(e)(2) in the time and manner specified in Treasury Regulation Section
1.6049-7(e)(3); (ii) provide information necessary for the computation of tax
imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other
middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which
a
Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable
cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person
liable for such tax); (iii) pay, or cause to be paid, the amount of any federal,
state or local tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below,
imposed on any such REMIC prior to its termination when and as the same shall
be
due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Tax Matters Person,
on behalf of the Trustee, or any other appropriate Person from contesting any
such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Tax Matters
Person, on behalf of the Trustee, from withholding payment of such tax, if
permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (iv) ensure that
federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed by
the
Trustee or such other person as may be required to sign such returns by the
Code
or state or local laws, regulations or rules; (v) maintain, or cause to be
maintained, records relating to any such REMIC, including but not limited to
the
income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the fair market value
and
adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required
by
the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules,
statements or information; and (vi) as and when necessary and appropriate,
represent, or arrange for the representation of, any such REMIC in any
administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit
by
any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as
to
any taxable year of any such REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any
governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any
tax item of any such REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of any such REMIC in
relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it.
128
The
Securities Administrator covenants and agrees that it shall (i) prepare and
forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders,
the
Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all
information returns on IRS Form 1099 as and when required to be provided to
them
in accordance with the REMIC Provisions; (ii) to the extent that they are under
its control, conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any
Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each REMIC created
hereunder under the REMIC Provisions; and (iii) not knowingly or intentionally
take any action or omit to take any action that would cause an Adverse REMIC
Event.
To
enable
the Tax Matters Person, on behalf of the Trustee, to perform its duties as
set
forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the
Tax
Matters Person within 10 days after the Closing Date all information or data
that the Tax Matters Person requests in writing and determines to be relevant
for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates,
including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and
projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter,
the
Depositor shall provide to the Tax Matters Person promptly upon written request
therefor, any such additional information or data that the Tax Matters Person
may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Tax Matters
Person to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby
indemnifies the Tax Matters Person for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims
or expenses of the Tax Matters Person arising from any errors or miscalculations
of the Tax Matters Person that result from any failure of the Depositor to
provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Tax
Matters Person on a timely basis. The
indemnification of this subsection shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Tax
Matters Person.
Each
of
the Tax Matters Person, the Depositor and the Servicer[s] covenants and agrees
that (i) it shall, to the extent such matters are under its control, conduct
matters relating to the assets of the Trust Fund at all times that any
Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each REMIC created
hereunder under the REMIC Provisions (and, with respect to matters that are
under its control and which are otherwise required to be performed by the Tax
Matters Person pursuant to this Agreement, the Tax Matters Person shall maintain
the treatment of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and the rights with respect to
payments from the Basis Risk Reserve Fund as provided in paragraph (b) below),
and (ii) it shall not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to
take
any action that would cause an Adverse REMIC Event.
(b) The
Tax
Matters Person shall treat the Basis Risk Reserve Fund as an outside reserve
fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) that is
owned
by the Holders of the Class [ ] Certificates and that is not
an asset of any REMIC and all amounts deposited into the Basis Risk Reserve
Fund
shall be treated as amounts distributed to the Class [ ]
Certificateholders.
(c) The
Tax
Matters Person shall treat the Owners of Certificates (other than the Class
[ ] and Class R Certificates) as having entered into a
notional principal contract with respect to the Owners of the Class
[ ] Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal
contract, all Owners of LIBOR Certificates shall be treated as having agreed
to
pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Owners of the Class [ ]
Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount
payable on such Distribution Date on the interest in the Upper Tier REMIC
corresponding to such Class of Certificates over
(ii)
the
amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such
excess, a “Class I Shortfall”). A Class I Shortfall payable from interest
collections shall be allocated pro
rata
among
such Certificates based on the amount of interest otherwise payable to such
Certificates, and a Class I Shortfall payable from principal collections shall
be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding
principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such
notional principal contract, the Owner of the Class [ ]
Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Basis Risk Shortfalls
and
Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls to the Owners of the LIBOR Certificates in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any
payments to the Certificates in light of the foregoing shall not be payments
with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code
Section 860G(a)(1). Thus,
each LIBOR Certificate shall be treated as representing not only ownership
of
regular interests in the Upper Tier REMIC, but also ownership of an interest
in
(and obligations with respect to) a notional principal contract. For tax
purposes, the notional principal contract shall be deemed to have a value of
$10,000.
129
(d) Notwithstanding
the priority and sources of payments set forth in Article VI hereof or
otherwise, the Tax Matters Person shall account for all distributions on the
Certificates as set forth in this section. In no event shall any payments of
Basis Risk Shortfalls or Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls provided for in this
section be treated as payments
with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code
Section 860G(a)(1).
(e) The
Preliminary Statement to this Agreement sets forth the designations and “latest
possible maturity date” for federal income tax purposes of all interests in each
of the REMICs created hereby. Each REMIC’s fiscal year shall be the calendar
year.”
Section
7.12. REMIC-Related
Covenants.
For
as
long as each REMIC shall exist, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator
shall act in accordance herewith to treat such REMIC as a REMIC, and the Trustee
and the Securities Administrator shall comply with any directions of the Seller,
the Servicer[s] or the Master Servicer to assure such continuing treatment.
In
particular, the Trustee shall not (a) sell or permit the sale of all or any
portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of deposits in a Trust
Account unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans
pursuant to this Agreement or the Securities Administrator has received an
Opinion of Counsel prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund; and (b) other
than
with respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
or Section 3.03 of this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to
any
REMIC without receipt of an Opinion of Counsel stating that such contribution
will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.
130

or
before March 1 of each calendar year, the Securities Administrator and the
Trustee shall each deliver to the Master Servicer, the Servicer[s][, the
Subservicer] and the Depositor a report regarding its assessment of compliance
with the servicing criteria specified in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB (§ 229.1122(d)), as of and for the period ending the end of each
fiscal year, with respect to asset-backed security transactions taken as a

Subservicer] and the Depositor (and in the case of the Trustee, to the

attests to, and reports on, the assessment made by such asserting party pursuant
to subsection (a) above. Each such report shall be made in accordance with
standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board.]
(c) [The Securities
Administrator and the Trustee shall each notify the Master Servicer, the
Servicer[s][, the Subservicer] and the Depositor (and in the case of the
Trustee, shall additionally notify the Securities Administrator)
(i) of
any legal proceedings pending against the Securities
Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable,
of the
type described in Item 1117 (§
229.1117) of
Regulation AB and (ii) if the Securities
Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, shall
become (but only to the extent not previously disclosed) at any time an
affiliate of any of the Sponsor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the
Servicer[s], any originator contemplated by Item 1110 (§
229.1110) of
Regulation AB, any significant obligor contemplated by Item 1112 (§
229.1112) of
Regulation AB, any enhancement or support provider contemplated by Items 1114
or
1115 (§§
229.1114-1115) of
Regulation AB or any other material party to the Trust Fund contemplated by
Item
1100(d)(1) (§
229.1100(d)(1)) of
Regulation AB, as applicable.]

by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data
or
otherwise to enable the Trustee to master service the Mortgage Loans properly
and effectively. If the terminated Master Servicer does not pay such
reimbursement within thirty (30) days of its receipt of an invoice therefore,
such reimbursement shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and the Trustee shall
be entitled to withdraw such reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.07(viii);
provided
that the
terminated Master Servicer shall reimburse the Trust Fund for any such expense
incurred by the Trust Fund; and provided,
further,
that
the Trustee shall take such action, if any, as provided in this Agreement and
as
directed by the Certificateholders pursuant thereto with respect to pursuing
any
remedy against any party obligated to make such reimbursement.
Notwithstanding
the termination of its activities as Master Servicer, each terminated Master
Servicer shall continue to be entitled to reimbursement to the extent provided
in Section 5.07 to the extent such reimbursement relates to the period prior
to
such Master Servicer’s termination.
If
any
Master Servicer Event of Default shall occur, of which a Responsible Officer
of
the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall promptly notify each Rating
Agency of the nature and extent of such Master Servicer Event of Default. The
Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer shall immediately give written
notice by facsimile to the Trustee upon the Master Servicer’s failure to remit
Monthly Advances on the date specified herein.
(b) On
and
after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination from the
Trustee pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or the Trustee receives the resignation
of
the Master Servicer evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section
5.20,
the Trustee, unless another master servicer shall have been appointed, shall
be
the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as such
under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein
and
shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the
Master Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to make Monthly Advances;
provided,
however,
that
any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master
Servicer’s failure to provide information required by this Agreement shall not
be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. In addition, the Trustee
shall
have no responsibility for any act or omission of the Master Servicer prior
to
the issuance of any notice of termination and shall have no liability relating
to the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer set forth in
Section 5.01. In the Trustee’s capacity as such successor, the Trustee shall
have the same limitations on liability herein granted to the Master Servicer.
As
compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive all compensation
payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement.
134
(c) Notwithstanding
the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to continue to so act,
or
shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution
servicer, master servicer, servicing or mortgage servicing institution having
a
net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and meeting such other standards for
a
successor master servicer as are set forth in this Agreement, as the successor
to such Master Servicer in the assumption of all of the responsibilities, duties
or liabilities of a master servicer, like the Master Servicer. Such successor
Master Servicer may be an Affiliate of the Trustee; provided,
however,
that,
unless such Affiliate meets the net worth requirements and other standards
set
forth herein for a successor master servicer, the Trustee, in its individual
capacity shall agree, at the time of such designation, to be and remain liable
to the Trust Fund and the Trustee for such Affiliate’s actions and omissions in
performing its duties hereunder. 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 no
such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Master Servicer
hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession
and
may make other arrangements with respect to the servicing to be conducted
hereunder which are not inconsistent herewith. The Master Servicer shall
cooperate with the Trustee and any successor master servicer in effecting the
termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder
including, without limitation, notifying the Servicer[s] of the assignment
of
the master servicing functions and providing the Trustee and successor master
servicer, as applicable, all documents and records in electronic or other form
reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s
functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee or such successor master
servicer, as applicable, all amounts or investment property which shall at
the
time be or should have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection
Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the
Certificates or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be deemed
to
be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in
making, any payment hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure
of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents
or records to it, (ii) the failure of the Master Servicer to cooperate as
required by this Agreement, (iii) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver
the Mortgage Loan data to the Trustee as required by this Agreement or (iv)
restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the
Master Servicer.
135
Section
8.02. Additional
Remedies of Trustee Upon Event of Default.
During
the continuance of any Master Servicer Event of Default, so long as such Master
Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition
to the rights specified in Section 8.01, shall have the right, in its own name
and as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter
existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies
and
to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the
Certificateholders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial,
administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and
debt
in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any
other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition
to
any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy
shall
impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event
of Default.
Section
8.03. Waiver
of Defaults.
The
Majority Certificateholders may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, waive
any
default or Master Servicer Event of Default by the Master Servicer in the
performance of its obligations hereunder, except that a default in the making
of
any required deposit to the Collection Account that would result in a failure
of
the Securities Administrator to make any required payment of principal of or
interest on the Certificates may only be waived with the consent of 100% of
the
affected Certificateholders. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such
default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right
consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
Section
8.04. Notification
to Holders.
Upon
termination of the Master Servicer or appointment of a successor to the Master
Servicer, in each case as provided herein, the Trustee shall promptly mail
notice thereof by first class mail to the Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing on the applicable Register. The Trustee shall also, within
[45] days after the occurrence of any Master Servicer Event of Default known
to
the Trustee, give written notice thereof to Certificateholders, unless such
Event of Default shall have been cured or waived prior to the issuance of such
notice and within such [45]-day period.
Section
8.05. Directions
by Certificateholders and Duties of Trustee During Master Servicer Event of
Default.
During
the continuance of any Master Servicer Event of Default, the Majority
Certificateholders may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust
or
power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement; provided,
however,
that
the Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such remedy, or to
exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement (including,
without limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any administrative action
or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto and (ii) the terminating of the
Master Servicer or any successor master servicer from its rights and duties
as
master servicer hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the
Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the cost,
expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; and,
provided further,
that,
the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if
the
Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action
or
proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good
faith
determines that the action or proceeding so directed would involve it in
personal liability for which it is not indemnified to its satisfaction or be
unjustly prejudicial to the non-assenting Certificateholders.
136
Section
8.06. Action
Upon Certain Failures of the Master Servicer and Upon Master Servicer Event
of
Default.
In the
event that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
shall have actual knowledge of any action or inaction of the Master Servicer
that would become a Master Servicer Event of Default upon the Master Servicer’s
failure to remedy the same after notice, the Trustee or Securities
Administrator, as applicable, shall give notice thereof to the Master
Servicer.
Section
8.07. Preparation
of Reports.
(a) The
Depositor shall prepare or cause to be prepared the initial current report
on
Form 8-K. Thereafter, within [15] days after each Distribution Date, the
Securities Administrator shall, in accordance with industry standards customary
for securities similar to the Certificates as required by the Exchange Act
and
the rules and regulations of the Commission (the “SEC Rules”), file with the
Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (XXXXX),
a
Form 10-D with (i) a copy of the statement to the Certificateholders for such
Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto and (ii) such other information as
is
required by Form 10-D, including, but not limited to, the information required
by Item 1121 (§ 229.1121) of Regulation AB, so long as such information is made
available to the Administrator
in a
format compatible with XXXXX filing requirements.
Prior to
January 30, 20[ ], the Securities Administrator shall, in accordance with
industry standards applicable to the Certificates, file a Form 15 Suspension
Notification with respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable. Prior to March
31,
20[ ] and prior to March 31 in each succeeding year so long as a Form 15 has
not
been filed for the prior calendar year, the Securities Administrator shall
file
(and the Master Servicer will execute) a Form 10-K, in substance conforming
to
industry standards applicable to the Certificates, with respect to the Trust
Fund.] The
Form
10-K shall include (w) the certification required pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under
the Exchange Act and any future guidance from the Commission (the “Form 10-K
Certification”) signed by or on behalf of the Depositor, (x)
the
annual certifications delivered by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator,
the Master Servicer, the Servicer[s] [(or the Subservicer on its behalf)],
any
Subcontractor and the Custodian pursuant to this Agreement and the Subservicing
Agreement, (y) the related public accounting firm attestation reports and (z)
such other information as is required by the SEC Rules and Regulation
AB.
If
any
party’s report on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria required by
clause (x) in the immediately preceding sentence, or the related public
accounting firm attestation report required by clause (y) in the immediately
preceding sentence, identifies any material instance of noncompliance with
the
servicing criteria specified in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB
(§
229.1122(d)), the Securities Administrator shall identify the material instance
of noncompliance in such report in the Form 10-K; and in the event that the
Securities Administrator is unable to include any report required by either
clause (x) or (y) in the immediately preceding sentence in the Form 10-K, the
Securities Administrator shall disclose such fact in the Form 10-K together
with
an explanation as to why such report is not included as an exhibit to the Form
10-K. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall have no liability
for
any delay in filing the Form 10-K due to the failure of such party to timely
sign the Form 10-K or Form 10-K Certification. The Depositor hereby grants,
and
in the case of the Form 10-K Certification, an Authorized Officer of the
Depositor will grant, to the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator
a
limited power of attorney to execute and file each such document on behalf
of
the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until either the earlier
of
(i) receipt by the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator from the
Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the
termination of the Trust Fund. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to
the
Securities Administrator, from time to time upon request, such further
information, reports, and financial statements within its control related to
this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Depositor reasonably deems
appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission.
The
Securities Administrator shall have no responsibility to file any items other
than those specified in this section.
137
(b) Each
person (including their officers or directors) that signs any Form 10-K
Certification shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust Fund for
any
liability or expense incurred by it in connection with such certification,
other
than any liability or expense attributable to such Person’s own bad faith,
negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions of this subsection shall
survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of
such
Person.
(c) To
the
extent that, following the Closing Date, the contents of Forms 8-K, 10-K or
other Forms required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations of the
Commission and the time by which such Forms are required to be filed, differs
from the provisions of this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby agree that
each
shall reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Agreement (in
accordance with Section 10.03) in order to comply with such amended reporting
requirements and such amendment of this Agreement. Any such amendment may result
in the reduction of the reports filed by the Servicer[s] under the Exchange
Act.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the
Servicer[s] or the Securities Administrator shall be obligated to enter into
any
amendment pursuant to this Section that adversely affects its obligations and
immunities under this Agreement.
ARTICLE
IX
TERMINATION
Section
9.01. Termination. The
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Servicer[s] and the Trustee created
hereby (other than obligations expressly stated to survive the termination
of
the Trust Fund) shall terminate on the day after the day on which the
Certificates are paid in full (including payment pursuant to Section 9.02 below)
(the “Termination Date”). In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue
beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the
survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the
United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof, and (ii)
the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
138
Section
9.02. Optional
Termination of the Trust Fund.
(a) [On
any
Distribution Date occurring on or after the Initial Purchase Date, the [related]
[Servicer] shall have the option to purchase the Mortgage Loans, any REO
Property and any other property remaining in the Trust Fund for a price equal
to
the Termination Price. The Master Servicer and the Servicer[s] will be
reimbursed from the Termination Price for any outstanding Monthly Advances,
Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees and other amounts not previously
reimbursed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, as applicable, and
the
Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian shall be reimbursed
for
any previously unreimbursed amounts for which they are entitled to be reimbursed
pursuant to this Agreement. If such option is exercised, the Trust Fund will
be
terminated resulting in a mandatory redemption of the Certificates. The
[related] [Servicer] shall deliver written notice of its intention to exercise
such option to the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Master Servicer
not less than [30] days prior to the applicable Distribution Date. If the
[related] [Servicer] fails to exercise such option on the Initial Purchase
Date,
the Certificate Interest Rate for each Class of Certificates will be increased
as set forth in the table in the Preliminary Statement herein beginning on
the
Step-up Date and for each Distribution Date thereafter.
In
connection with such purchase, the [related] [Servicer] shall remit to the
Master Servicer all amounts then on deposit in the Custodial Account (other
than
amounts permitted to be withdrawn by it pursuant to Section 4.02(e)) for deposit
to the Collection Account.
(b) Promptly
following any such purchase pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section and
receipt of an Officer’s Certificate of the [related] [Servicer] that the
purchase price has been deposited in the Collection Account, the Trustee or
the
Custodian shall release the Mortgage Files to the purchaser of such Mortgage
Loans pursuant to this Section 9.02, or otherwise upon its order.]
Section
9.03. Certain
Notices upon Final Payment. The
Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall give
the
Trustee, each Rating Agency, each Certificateholder and the Depositor at least
[thirty (30)] days’ prior written notice of the date on which the Trust Fund is
expected to terminate in accordance with Section 9.01, or the date on which
the
Certificates will be redeemed in accordance with Section 9.02. Not later than
the fifth Business Day in the Collection Period in which the final payment
in
respect to the Certificates is payable to the Certificateholders, the Securities
Administrator shall mail to the Certificateholders a notice specifying the
procedures with respect to such final payment. The Securities Administrator
on
behalf of the Trustee shall give a copy of such notice to each Rating Agency
at
the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. Following the final payment
thereon, such Certificates shall become void, no longer outstanding and no
longer evidence any right or interest in the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Files
or any proceeds of the foregoing.
139
Section
9.04. Additional
Termination Requirements.
(a) In
the
event the [related] [Servicer] exercises its purchase option, as provided in
Section 9.02, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the
following additional requirements, unless the Securities Administrator have
been
supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Securities
Administrator, to the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements
of
this Section 9.04 will not result in an adverse REMIC Event:
(i) The
Trustee shall sell all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund for cash
as
provided in Section 9.02, and, within 90 days of such sale (such period the
“90-day liquidation period”), shall distribute to (or credit to the account of)
the Holders of the Certificates the proceeds of such sale together with other
cash on hand (less amounts retained to meet claims) in complete liquidation
of
the Trust Fund and each REMIC created hereunder; and
(ii) The
Tax
Matters Person shall attach (or cause to be attached) a statement to the final
federal income tax return for each REMIC created hereunder stating that pursuant
to Treasury Regulation § 1.860F-1, the first day of the 90-day liquidation
period for each such REMIC was the date on which the Trustee sold the assets
of
the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(i).
(b) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the portion of the purchase price required
to
be paid by Section 9.02 that is contained in clause (D) thereof shall not be
paid to any REMIC formed hereby. Instead, such amount shall be paid by the
purchaser directly to the holder of the Class [ ] Certificates pursuant to
a
cash settled option contract. As a result, such amount shall not be paid to
any
REMIC or distributed by any REMIC.
(c) By
their
acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby authorize the Tax
Matters Person, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to undertake the
above-described actions.

such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing
of, payments which are required to be paid on any Class of Certificates, without
the consent of the Certificateholders of such Class or (ii) reduce the aforesaid
percentages of Class Principal Amount of Certificates, the Holders of which
are
required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders
of
100% of the Class Principal Amount of the Certificates. For purposes of this
paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders” shall be deemed to include, in
the case of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate

141
(c) Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance of such amendment to each Holder, the Depositor
and to each Rating Agency.
(d) It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Holders under this Section 10.03 to approve

consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Holders
shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may
prescribe.
