The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery

to the Trustee an executed original Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor
does hereby deliver to, and deposit with, the Trustee the following documents or

in Section 2.01(i) above cannot be located, the obligations of the Depositor to
deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the
Trustee of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note

but in no event later than ninety days following the Closing Date) submit or
cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund, the
Trustee or the Depositor, in the appropriate public office for real property

any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein,
the Depositor shall (at the expense of the Originator) promptly prepare or cause
to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect,
as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly

The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee an executed
copy of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the PMI Policy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assignments of Mortgage
shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with respect to any
Mortgage Loan located in Maryland) unless the Depositor is informed by the
Rating Agencies that such failure to record would result in a withdrawal or a
downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates;
provided, however, each Assignment shall be submitted in the manner described
above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the earliest to

complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such
copy is certified by the Originator, delivery to the Trustee promptly upon
receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified by
the applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the

provided to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies by the Originator if delivery
pursuant to clause (2) above will be made more than 180 days after the Closing
Date (or Subsequent Transfer Date, with respect to Subsequent Mortgage Loans).
If the original lender's title insurance policy was not
delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(vi) above, the Depositor shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee, promptly after receipt thereof, the
original lender's title insurance policy. The Depositor shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon receipt thereof any other original
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any
Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing
an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.
All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are
not delivered to the Trustee are and shall be held by or on behalf of the
Originator, the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, in
trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. In the
event that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of this
Section 2.01 to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered
promptly to the Trustee. Any such original document delivered to or held by the
Depositor that is not required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a
part of a Mortgage File, shall be delivered promptly to the Servicer.
The parties hereto understand and agree that it is not
intended that any Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust that is a "High-Cost
Home Loan" as defined by the Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or
any other applicable predatory or abusive lending laws.
The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute, deliver
and perform its obligations under the Cap Contracts on the Closing Date and
thereafter on behalf of the Trust and the Holders of the Class A Certificates
and Mezzanine Certificates. The Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Holders of the Class A Certificates and Mezzanine Certificates by their
acceptance of such Certificates acknowledge and agree that the Trustee shall
execute, deliver and perform the Trust's obligations under the Cap Contracts and
shall do so solely in its capacity as Trustee of the Trust Fund and not in its
individual capacity.
63
SECTION 2.02. Acceptance of REMIC I by Trustee.
The Trustee acknowledges receipt, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.01 and subject to any exceptions noted on the exception report
described in the next paragraph below, of the documents referred to in Section
2.01 (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(v)) above and all
other assets included in the definition of "REMIC I" under clauses (i), (iii),
(iv) and (v) (to the extent of amounts deposited into the Distribution Account)
and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents
delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold all
such assets and such other assets included in the definition of "REMIC I" in
trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders.
The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver to the Depositor on
or prior to the Closing Date (or Subsequent Transfer Date, with respect to
Subsequent Mortgage Loans) an acknowledgment of receipt of the original Mortgage
Note (with any exceptions noted), substantially in the form attached as Exhibit
C-3 hereto.
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
to review each Mortgage File and, within 45 days of the Closing Date (or
Subsequent Transfer Date, with respect to Subsequent Mortgage Loans), to certify
in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 that, as to each
Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan
paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception
report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all
documents constituting part of such Mortgage File (other than such documents
described in Section 2.01(v)) required to be delivered to it pursuant to this
Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by the
Trustee and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan and
(iii) based on the Trustee's examination and only as to the foregoing, the
Mortgagor's Name and the street address and city of the Mortgaged Property, and
the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to
items (i), (iii), (x)(A), (xii), (xv) and (xix) of the definition of "Mortgage
Loan Schedule" accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File.
It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee is under
no duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such documents,
instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they are genuine,
enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or whether they have
actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on
their face or (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of
the documents specified in clause (v) of Section 2.01.
Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement the
Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer a final certification in
the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2 evidencing the completeness of the
Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon, and the Servicer
shall forward a copy thereof to any Sub-Servicer.
If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making
or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the
Trustee finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File
to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of its
review the Trustee shall so notify the Depositor and the Servicer. In addition,
64
upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of
any of the representations and warranties made by the Originator or the Seller
in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which
materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related
Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
The Trustee shall, at the written request and expense of any
Certificateholder, provide a written report to such Certificateholder of all
Mortgage Files released to the Servicer for servicing purposes.
The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and
transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the
related Mortgage Notes and the related documents, conveying good title thereto
free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee
in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and that such property not be
part of the Depositor's estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any
insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be,
or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor
shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee a first
priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and
interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the
related documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement
under applicable law.
SECTION 2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by
the Originator or the Seller.
(a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of
the breach by the Originator or the Seller of any representation, warranty or
covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (including any
representation, warranty or covenant regarding the Prepayment Charge Schedule)
in respect of any Mortgage Loan that materially adversely affects the value of
such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the
Trustee shall promptly notify the Originator, the Seller and the Servicer of
such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, deliver such missing document or cure such defect or
breach within 90 days from the date the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Originator
or the Seller, as applicable, does not deliver such missing document or cure
such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Servicer,
to the extent it is not the Originator, the Seller or an Affiliate of the
Seller, and otherwise the Trustee, in accordance with Section 3.02(b), shall
enforce the obligations of the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, under
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC
I at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which the Originator or
the Seller, as applicable, was notified (subject to Section 2.03(c)) of such
missing document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that the Originator or
the Seller, as applicable, is obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall
be remitted to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account and the
Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such
deposit, shall release to the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the
related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments
65
of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Originator or
the Seller, as applicable, shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest
in the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto. The Trustee shall not have any further responsibility with
regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as
provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, may cause such Mortgage Loan to be
removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and
substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(b); provided, however, the
Originator may not substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for any
Deleted Mortgage Loan that violates any predatory or abusive lending law. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as
to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document
exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such omission, defect or breach available
to the Trustee and the Certificateholders.
(b) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected
prior to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.
As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Originator or
the Seller, as applicable, substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, delivering to the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee,
and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements
thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers' Certificate
providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the
definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment Amount (as
described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The Trustee
shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
and, within ten Business Days thereafter, review such documents as specified in
Section 2.02 and deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer, with respect to such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the Trustee shall deliver
to the Depositor and the Servicer a certification substantially in the form of
Exhibit C-2 hereto with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
66
or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due
with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution
are not part of REMIC I and will be retained by the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders
will reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before
the Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently
received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall give or
cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that such
substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect
the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and
the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall
deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such
substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute
part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of
this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, all
applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement.
For any month in which the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one
or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (the
"Substitution Adjustment Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price
of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Principal Balance thereof as of the date
of substitution, together with one month's interest on such Principal Balance at
the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, plus all outstanding Advances and Servicing
Advances (including Nonrecoverable Advances and Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advances) related thereto. On the date of such substitution, the Originator or
the Seller, as applicable, will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer
for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution
Adjustment Amount, if any, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the related
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by the Servicer of
such deposit, shall release to the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the
related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, the
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall deliver to it and as shall be
necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be
imposed on any Trust REMIC, including without limitation, any federal tax
imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on
"contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or
(b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificate is outstanding.
(c) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Originator, the
Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a
"qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the
party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice
thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Originator, the
Seller or the Depositor shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 2.03(b), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery
or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such
repurchase or substitution shall be made by (i) the Originator or the Seller, as
the case may be, if the affected Mortgage Loan's status as a non-qualified
mortgage is or results from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant
made by the Originator or the Seller, as the case may be, under the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, or (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan's
status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of no representation or warranty.
Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set
forth in Section 2.03(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor, the
Originator or the Seller, as the case may be, the Mortgage Loan to be released
pursuant hereto in
67
the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage
Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

or by-laws of the Servicer or result in the breach of any term or
provision of, or conflict with or constitute a default under or result
in the acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement, indenture
or loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which the Servicer

foregoing, within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt
of notice by the Servicer of a breach of the representation or covenant of the
Servicer set forth in Section 2.05(ix) above which materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Holders of the Class P Certificates in any

of the Depositor, has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order
of the Depositor, the Class R-I Interest in authorized denominations. The

Interests) to receive distributions from the proceeds of REMIC I in respect of
the Class R-I Interest and the REMIC I Regular Interests, respectively, and all

Cut-off Date. The transfer to the Trustee for deposit in the Mortgage Pool by
the Depositor of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan

Trustee and the Certificateholders to constitute and to be treated as a sale of
the Subsequent Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trust Fund. The related

delivery of the Subsequent Transfer Instrument, substantially in the
form of Exhibit M, the Depositor shall not be insolvent nor shall it
have been rendered insolvent by such transfer nor shall it be aware of
any pending insolvency;
(iv) such sale and transfer shall not result in a material
adverse tax consequence to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders;
(v) the Funding Period shall not have terminated;

and interest of the Depositor, in, to and under the Subsequent Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, to the extent of the Subsequent Mortgage
Loans; and
(viii) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies
with respect to the transfer of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans
substantially in the form of the Opinion of Counsel delivered to the
Trustee on the Closing Date regarding the true sale of the Subsequent
Mortgage Loans.

Date: (i) such Subsequent Mortgage Loan may not be 30 or more days delinquent as

Stated Principal Balance of the Subsequent Group I Mortgage Loans as of the
related Subsequent Cut-off Date.
Following the purchase of any Subsequent Group II Mortgage
Loan by the Trust, the Group II Mortgage Loans (including such Subsequent Group

Cut-off Date.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Subsequent Mortgage

Certificates. At least one Business Day prior to the Subsequent Transfer Date,
each Rating Agency shall notify the Trustee as to which Subsequent Mortgage
Loans, if any, shall not be included in the transfer on the Subsequent Transfer
Date; provided, however, that the Seller shall have delivered to each Rating
Agency at least three Business Days prior to such Subsequent Transfer Date a

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01. Servicer to Act as Servicer.
The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans
on behalf of the Trust Fund and in the best interests of and for the benefit of
all Certificateholders (as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable
judgment) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans
and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which it
services and administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving
due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of mortgage
lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but without
regard to:
(A) any relationship that the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or
any Affiliate of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the
related Mortgagor;
(B) the ownership or non-ownership of any Certificate by the
Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer;
(C) the Servicer's obligation to make Advances or Servicing
Advances; or
(D) the Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's right to receive
compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any
particular transaction.
To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer (a)
shall seek the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the
Mortgage Notes and (b) shall waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a
Prepayment Charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is
standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans, relates to a default
or a reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the
Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of
such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) such Prepayment
Charge is unenforceable in accordance with applicable law or the collection of
such related Prepayment Charge would otherwise violate applicable law. If a
Prepayment Charge is waived as permitted by meeting the standards described in
clause (ii) above, then the Servicer (in its capacity as Originator) shall be
required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the benefit of
the Holders of the P Certificates, by depositing such amount into the Collection
Account together with and at the time the amounts prepaid on the related
Mortgage Loan is required to be deposited into the Collection Account. Subject
only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms of this Agreement
and of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have full power and authority,
acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or
cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and
administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name or in the name of a
Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Servicer
believes it appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with the servicing
standards
75
set forth above, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and
the Trustee, and upon notice to the Trustee, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and
all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the
Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties,
and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the
Trustee and Certificateholders. The Servicer shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law and shall
provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby.
The Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with all
reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any standard hazard
insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, within 15 days of the Closing Date,
the Trustee shall execute, at the written request of the Servicer, and furnish
to the Servicer and any Sub-Servicer any special or limited powers of attorney
for each county in which a Mortgaged Property is located and other documents
necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out
their servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, such limited
powers of attorney or other documents shall be prepared by the Servicer and
submitted to the Trustee for execution. The Trustee shall not be liable for the
actions of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of attorney.
Subject to Section 3.09 hereof, in accordance with the
standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall advance or cause to be
advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of
taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be
Servicing Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related collections
from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section
3.11. Any cost incurred by the Servicer or by Sub-Servicers in effecting the
timely payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for
the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the
unpaid Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding
that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan
(except as provided in Section 4.03) and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any
modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage
Rate, reduce or increase the Stated Principal Balance (except for reductions
resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date
on such Mortgage Loan (unless, as provided in Section 3.07, the Mortgagor is in
default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of
the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an
exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or
Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust REMIC
created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition
of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions after the startup
date" under the REMIC Provisions.

SECTION 3.02. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Servicer
and Sub-Servicers.
(a) The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with
Sub-Servicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans;
provided, however, that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a
downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates. The
Trustee is hereby authorized to acknowledge, at the request of the Servicer, any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that meets the requirements applicable to Sub-Servicing
Agreements set forth in this Agreement and that is otherwise permitted under
this Agreement.
Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business
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
Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing
Agreement and (ii) a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each
Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming
to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the
Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer will
examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms
thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with
any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may
enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into
different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such
amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the
provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall
be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially
adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders without the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights; provided,
further, that the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
66% of the Voting Rights shall not be required (i) to cure any ambiguity or
defect in a Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) to correct, modify or supplement any
provisions of a Sub-Servicing Agreement, or (iii) to make any other provisions
with respect to matters or questions arising under a Sub-Servicing Agreement,
which, in each case, shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement. Any variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in
Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing
Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and
amount of remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Servicer, are conclusively
deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements,
and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer's
execution and delivery of such instruments.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the
Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall
enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in
respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement, or to
purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective documentation or on
account of a
77
breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, as described in Section
2.03(a). Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution
of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other
appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent
and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would
require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall pay
the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed
therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to
the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the
related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or
attorneys' fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.
Enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement against the Originator or
the Seller shall be effected by the Servicer to the extent it is not the
Originator, and otherwise by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this paragraph.
SECTION 3.03. Successor Sub-Servicers.
The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any
Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all
servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by
the Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the
Servicer, and the Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage
Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor
Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that
such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Trustee (if the Trustee is
acting as Servicer) without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
in the event that the Servicer (or the Trustee, if such party is then acting as
Servicer) shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including
termination due to a Servicer Event of Termination).
SECTION 3.04. Liability of the Servicer.
Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement or the provisions
of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer
and a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or
otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the
Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without
diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing
Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer
and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the
Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer
shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for
indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing contained in
this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
78
SECTION 3.05. No Contractual Relationship Between
Sub-Servicers, the Trustee or
Certificateholders.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer
in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the
Servicer alone, and the Trustee or Certificateholders shall not be deemed
parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or
liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section
3.06. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any
Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Servicer's compensation pursuant to
this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.
SECTION 3.06. Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing
Agreements by Trustee.
In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be
the servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Termination), the Trustee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Servicer
may have entered into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 3.03. Upon such
assumption, the Trustee (or the successor servicer appointed pursuant to Section
7.02) shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the
departing Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the departing
Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if
each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except
that (i) the departing Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability
or obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement that arose before it ceased to
be the Servicer and (ii) neither the Trustee nor any successor Servicer shall be
deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the Servicer that arose
before it ceased to be the Servicer.
The Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the
Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to
each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an
accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise
use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the
Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.
SECTION 3.07. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and
shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and
the terms and provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such
collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with
the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment
charge or, if applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for
the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180
days; provided, however, that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall
not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any
computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such
arrangement pursuant to clause
79
(ii) above, the Servicer shall make Advances on such Mortgage Loan during such
extension pursuant to Section 4.03 and in accordance with the amortization
schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such
arrangement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan
is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably
foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section
3.01, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including
modifications that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of
principal or interest, capitalize past due Monthly Payments and outstanding
Servicing Advances or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan),
accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated
Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the
postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications, variances,
forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively
referred to herein as "forbearance"), provided, however, that in no event shall
the Servicer grant any such forbearance (other than as permitted by the second
sentence of this Section) with respect to any one Mortgage Loan more than once
in any 12 month period or more than three times over the life of such Mortgage
Loan. The Servicer's analysis supporting any forbearance and the conclusion that
any forbearance meets the standards of Section 3.01 shall be reflected in
writing in the Mortgage File.
SECTION 3.08. Sub-Servicing Accounts.
In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage
Loan pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to
establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Sub-Servicing
Account"). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall
comply with all requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection
Account. The Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account in which it
customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection
with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
more than one Business Day after the Sub-Servicer's receipt thereof, all
proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing
compensation to the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall
thereafter deposit such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more
than two Business Days after the receipt of such amounts. The Sub-Servicer shall
thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such
proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than
two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Sub-Servicing
Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have
received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such
payments.
SECTION 3.09. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar
Items; Servicing Accounts.
The Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be
established and maintained, one or more accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"),
into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited and retained. Servicing
Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in the clearing
account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage
loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily
basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer's receipt
thereof, all Escrow Payments
80
collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter deposit such
Escrow Payments in the Servicing Accounts, in no event more than two Business
Days after the receipt of such Escrow Payments, all Escrow Payments collected on
account of the Mortgage Loans for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of
any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of
amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect payment of
taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items in a manner
and at a time that assures that the lien priority of the Mortgage is not
jeopardized (or, with respect to the payment of taxes, in a manner and at a time
that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the
foreclosure as a result of a tax lien); (ii) reimburse the Servicer (or a
Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement) out
of related collections for any Servicing Advances made pursuant to Section 3.01
(with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with respect to hazard
insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be
overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors
on balances in the Servicing Account; or (v) clear and terminate the Servicing
Account at the termination of the Servicer's obligations and responsibilities in
respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article
IX. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in a Servicing Account any amount
not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount
from such Servicing Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. The Servicer will be responsible for the administration of the
Servicing Accounts and will be obligated to make Servicing Advances to such
accounts when and as necessary to avoid the lapse of insurance coverage on the
Mortgaged Property, or which the Servicer knows, or in the exercise of the
required standard of care of the Servicer hereunder should know, is necessary to
avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as
a result of a tax lien. If any such payment has not been made and the Servicer
receives notice of a tax lien that jeopardizes the lien of the Mortgage Loan,
the Servicer will, within 10 business days of such notice, advance or cause to
be advanced funds necessary to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property. As
part of its servicing duties, the Servicer or Sub-Servicers shall pay to the
Mortgagors interest on funds in the Servicing Accounts, to the extent required
by law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing
Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds,
without any reimbursement therefor. The Servicer may pay to itself any excess
interest on funds in the Servicing Accounts, to the extent such action is in
conformity with the Servicing Standard, is permitted by law and such amounts are
not required to be paid to Mortgagors or used for any of the other purposes set
forth above.
SECTION 3.10. Collection Account and Distribution Account.
(a) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish
and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts
(such account or accounts, the "Collection Account"), held in trust for the
benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund,
the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account in
which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in
connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in
no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer's receipt thereof, and
shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more than two
Business Days after the Servicer's receipt
81
thereof, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following
payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date
(other than in respect of principal or interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or
before the Cut-off Date) or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received
by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date, but allocable to a Due Period subsequent
thereto:
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments (but not Prepayment Charges), on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related
Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, Subsequent
Recoveries and condemnation proceeds (other than proceeds collected in
respect of any particular REO Property and amounts paid in connection
with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to
Section 9.01);
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
3.12 in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments
with respect to funds held in the Collection Account;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer
pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any
blanket policy deductibles;
(vi) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or
purchased in accordance with Section 2.03 or Section 9.01;
(vii) all amounts required to be deposited in connection with
Substitution Adjustments pursuant to Section 2.03;
(viii) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer and
any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts in connection with the
Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans; and
(ix) without duplication, all payments of claims under the PMI
Policy.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection
Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of Servicing
Fees, late payment charges, assumption fees, insufficient funds charges and
ancillary income (other than Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by the
Servicer in the Collection Account and may be retained by the Servicer as
additional compensation. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the
Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at
any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish
and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the "Distribution
Account"), held in trust for the
82
benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund,
the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee in immediately available funds for
deposit in the Distribution Account on or before 1:00 p.m. New York time (i) on
the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Distribution Amount
(calculated without regard to the references in the definition thereof to
amounts that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account) for the related
Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account, the amount of all
Prepayment Charges collected during the applicable Prepayment Period by the
Servicer and Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts in connection with the
Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the
Collection Account and the amount of any funds reimbursable to an Advancing
Person pursuant to Section 3.29, and (ii) on each Business Day as of the
commencement of which the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds
$75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the next succeeding sentence, the
amount of such excess, but only if the Collection Account constitutes an
Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of "Eligible
Account." If the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds $75,000 as
of the commencement of business on any Business Day and the Collection Account
constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition
of "Eligible Account," the Servicer shall, on or before 1:00 p.m. New York time
on such Business Day, withdraw from the Collection Account any and all amounts
payable or reimbursable to the Servicer, the Trustee, the Originator or any
Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons
entitled thereto.
(c) Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution
Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the
provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Servicer shall give notice to the
Trustee of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when
established and prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to
the Servicer and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when
established and prior to any change thereof.
(d) Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may be
delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee for deposit in an account (which may be
the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution
Account as set forth in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of the Collection Account; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds
held pursuant to this subsection (d). In the event the Servicer shall deliver to
the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to
be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Trustee withdraw such
amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it any such amount, any
provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition, the Servicer,
with respect to items (i) through (iv) below, shall deliver to the Trustee from
time to time for deposit, and the Trustee, with respect to items (i) through
(iv) below, shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:
(i) any Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.03;
(ii) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
3.23(d) or (f) in connection with any REO Property;
83
(iii) any amounts to be paid in connection with a purchase of
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01;
(iv) any Compensating Interest to be deposited pursuant to
Section 3.24 in connection with any Prepayment Interest Shortfall; and
(v) any amounts required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to
the Agreement, including, but not limited to Section 3.06 and Section
7.02.
(vi) The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12(b) in
connection with losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect
to funds held in the Collection Account.
SECTION 3.11. Withdrawals from the Collection Account and
Distribution Account.
(a) The Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals
from the Collection Account for any of the following purposes or as described in
Section 4.03:
(i) to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution
Account the amounts required to be so remitted pursuant to Section
3.10(b) or permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the first sentence
of Section 3.10(d);
(ii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Servicer for
(a) any unreimbursed Advances to the extent of amounts received which
represent Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of
Monthly Payments, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds on
Mortgage Loans with respect to which such Advances were made in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03; or (b) any unreimbursed
Advances with respect to the final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan that
are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that Late
Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with
respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the
Servicer for such unreimbursed Advances;
(iii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer (a) any unpaid Servicing Fees, (b) any unreimbursed
Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan, but only to the
extent of any Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds and condemnation proceeds received with respect to such
Mortgage Loan, and (c) any Servicing Advances with respect to the final
liquidation of a Mortgage Loan that are Nonrecoverable Advances, but
only to the extent that Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and
Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are
insufficient to reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for
Servicing Advances;
(iv) to pay to the Servicer as servicing compensation (in
addition to the Servicing Fee) on the Servicer Remittance Date any
interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the
Collection Account;
84
(v) to pay to the Originator, with respect to each Mortgage
Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant to Section
2.03 or Section 3.16(c) all amounts received thereon subsequent to the
date of purchase or substitution, as the case may be;
(vi) to reimburse the Servicer for any Advance or Servicing
Advance previously made which the Servicer has determined to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section
4.03;
(vii) to pay, or to reimburse the Servicer for Servicing
Advances in respect of, expenses incurred in connection with any
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(b);
(viii) to reimburse the Servicer for expenses incurred by or
reimbursable to the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.03;
(ix) to reimburse the Servicer (if the Servicer is not an
Affiliate of the Originator) or the Trustee, as the case may be, for
enforcement expenses reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or
defect giving rise to the purchase obligation under Section 2.03 of
this Agreement that were included in the Purchase Price of the Mortgage
Loan, including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the
purchase obligation;
(x) to pay itself any Prepayment Interest Excess; and
(xi) to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 9.01.
The foregoing requirements for withdrawal from the Collection
Account shall be exclusive. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the
Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at
any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding.
The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of
it, pursuant to subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) above.
The Servicer shall provide written notification to the Trustee, on or prior to
the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from
the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (vi) above; provided that an
Officers' Certificate in the form described under Section 4.03(d) shall suffice
for such written notification to the Trustee in respect hereof.
(b) The Trustee shall, from time to time, make withdrawals
from the Distribution Account, for any of the following purposes, without
priority:
(i) to make distributions in accordance with Section 4.01;
(ii) to pay itself the Trustee Fee and any Extraordinary Trust
Fund Expenses pursuant to Section 8.05;
85
(iii) to pay any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to
Section 10.01(g);

to Section 9.01;

to be paid pursuant to Section 3.06 and Section 7.02;
(vi) to pay to the Trustee, any interest or investment income
earned on funds deposited in the Distribution Account;
(vii) to pay to an Advancing Person reimbursements for
Advances and/or Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 3.29; and
(viii) to pay the PMI Insurer the PMI Insurer Fee (which

clauses (i), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above
SECTION 3.12. Investment of Funds in the Collection Account,
the Pre-Funding Accounts and the Distribution
Account.
(a) The Servicer may direct any depository institution
maintaining the Collection Account and any REO Account to invest the funds on
deposit in such accounts, the Depositor may direct any depository institution
maintaining the Pre-Funding Accounts to invest funds on deposit in such
accounts, and the Trustee may invest the funds on deposit in the Distribution
Account (each such account, for the purposes of this Section 3.12 an "Investment
Account"). All investments pursuant to this Section 3.12 shall be in one or more
Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing,
unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately
preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such
account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee is the
obligor thereon or if such investment is managed or advised by a Person other
than the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee, and (ii) no later than the date
on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to
this Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon or if such investment is
managed or advised by the Trustee or any Affiliate. All such Permitted
Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment
of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in
its capacity as such), or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee
shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to investment
direction of funds held in the Collection Account, any REO Account or the
Pre-Funding Accounts and any income and gain realized thereon) over each such
investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such
investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent, together
with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to
the Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment
Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand,
the Trustee shall:
86
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given
thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such
Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal
to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the
amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon
determination by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee that such
Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in
respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.
(b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Collection Account and any REO Account held by or on behalf of
the Servicer shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to
its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.11 or Section 3.23, as applicable.
The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account or any REO Account, as
applicable, the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such
Permitted Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon
realization of such loss.
All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Pre-Funding Accounts held by or on behalf of the Depositor
shall be for the benefit of the Depositor and shall be subject to its withdrawal
in accordance with Section 4.05. The Depositor shall deposit in the Pre-Funding
Accounts the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such
Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon
realization of such loss.
(c) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee.
The Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account the amount of any loss of
principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds
in such accounts immediately upon realization of such loss.
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted
Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any
Permitted Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section
8.02(a)(v), upon the request of the Holders of Certificates representing more
than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take
such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance,
including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
SECTION 3.13. [Reserved].
SECTION 3.14. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors and
Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.
(a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgage Loan hazard insurance with extended coverage on the Mortgaged Property
in an amount which is at least
87
equal to the lesser of (i) the current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan
and (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the
improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis, in
each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the
application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance
policy. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained hazard insurance with
extended coverage on each REO Property in an amount which is at least equal to
the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a
part of such property and (ii) the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the
related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property. The Servicer will
comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and
requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be
collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be
applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related
Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the
procedures that the Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own
account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and
Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan,
or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if
received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in
maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid Stated Principal
Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such
Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other
additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to
such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as
shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO
Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood
insurance has been made available, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a
flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the
related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming
that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in
such program).
In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a
blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:III or better
in Best's Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such
rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the
first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that
such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall,
in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this
Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been
covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the
Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself,
the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a
timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.
88
(b) The Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this
Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for
failure in the performance of the Servicer's obligations under this Agreement,
which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the
requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the
Mortgage Loans, unless the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements
from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee, upon
request, with copies of such insurance policies and fidelity bond. The Servicer
shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the
requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless the Servicer has obtained a
waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall
be deemed to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of the Servicer
has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of
such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends
to the Servicer. Any such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by
its terms not be cancelable without thirty days' prior written notice to the
Trustee. The Servicer shall also cause each Sub-Servicer to maintain a policy of
insurance covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet
such requirements.
SECTION 3.15. Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any
conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor
(whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the
Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the
Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan
under the "due-on-sale" clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however,
that the Servicer shall not be required to take such action if in its sole
business judgment the Servicer believes it is not in the best interests of the
Trust Fund and shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from
doing so. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law
to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, or if any of the other conditions set
forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter
into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom
such property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which
such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted
by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is
also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such
person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and
such person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the
Mortgage Note, provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such
person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Servicer and has a credit risk
rating at least equal to that of the original Mortgagor. In connection with any
assumption or substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards
and follow such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its
general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans
owned solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and
modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the
circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued
effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy. Any fee collected by
the Servicer in respect of an assumption, modification or substitution of
liability agreement shall be
89
retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection
with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but
not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the Monthly Payment)
may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms
thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution,
modification or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the
Trustee the executed original of such substitution, modification 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision
of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or
any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of
a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any
assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any
reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term "assumption" is
deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the
Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
SECTION 3.16. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Servicer shall use its best efforts, in as practical a
time frame as possible and consistent with Servicing Standard, 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 3.07. The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and
expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that such
costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Servicer as
contemplated in Section 3.11 and Section 3.23. The foregoing is subject to the
provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered
damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its
own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in
its discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation
of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
3.16 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan
as to which the Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge
of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged
Property, the Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain
title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action
with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action,
the Trustee, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders would be considered to
hold title to, to be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an "owner" or
"operator" of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from
time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also previously
determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared by a Person
who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards,
that:
90
(1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to
bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and
(2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged
Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous
substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based
materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment,
clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or
local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present for
which such action could be required, that it would be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect
to the affected Mortgaged Property.
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by
this Section 3.16 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's
right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in
Section 3.11(a)(vii), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in
the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund; provided that any amounts disbursed by the Servicer
pursuant to this Section 3.16(b) shall constitute Servicing Advances, subject to
Section 4.03(d). The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or
remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's right
to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section
3.11(a)(iii) and (a)(vii), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights
of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received
in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
(c) The Servicer may, at its option, purchase a Mortgage Loan
which has become 90 or more days delinquent or for which the Servicer has
accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Prior to purchase pursuant to this
Section 3.16(c), the Servicer shall be required to continue to make Advances
pursuant to Section 4.03. The Servicer shall purchase such delinquent Mortgage
Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan. Any such
purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.16(c) shall be
accomplished by deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase
Price. The Trustee shall immediately effectuate the conveyance of such
delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Servicer to the extent necessary, including the
prompt delivery of all documentation to the Servicer. Notwithstanding the
foregoing if the Servicer purchases any delinquent Mortgage Loans pursuant to
this Section 3.16(c), it must purchase Mortgage Loans that are delinquent the
greatest number of days before it may purchase any that are delinquent any fewer
number of days.
91
(d) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery
Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of
Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or condemnation proceeds, in respect of
any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to
unpaid Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for
any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii) and
Advances pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii); third, to accrued and unpaid interest
on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the
Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be
distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and
fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. The portion of the
recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii).
SECTION 3.17. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the
receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed
in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee, in written (with two executed copies) or electronic format, a Request
for Release in the form of Exhibit E (which certification shall include a
statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited)
signed by a Servicing Officer (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format that
will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer)
and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such
certification and request, the Trustee shall, within three Business Days,
release and send by overnight mail, at the expense of the Servicer, the related
Mortgage File to the Servicer. The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Servicer, out
of its own funds, for any loss, liability or expense (other than special,
indirect, punitive or consequential damages which will not be paid by the
Trustee) incurred by the Servicer as a proximate result of the Trustee's breach
of its obligations pursuant to this Section 3.17. No expenses incurred in
connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be
chargeable to the Collection Account or the Distribution Account.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall, upon any
request made by or on behalf of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee, in
written (with two executed copies) or electronic format, of a Request for
Release in the form of Exhibit E signed by a Servicing Officer (or in a mutually
agreeable electronic format that will, in lieu of a signature on its face,
originate from a Servicing Officer), release the related Mortgage File to the
Servicer within three Business Days, and the Trustee shall, at the direction of
the Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of
any such proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer to
return each and every document previously requested from the Mortgage File to
the Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the
Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the
Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File
or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or
other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or
92
pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged
Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered, or
caused to be delivered, to the Trustee an additional Request for Release
certifying as to such liquidation or action or proceedings. Upon the request of
the Trustee, the Servicer shall provide notice to the Trustee of the name and
address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered
and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a Request for
Release, in written (with two executed copies) or electronic format, from a
Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all
amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are
required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or
that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, such Mortgage Loan shall be
released by the Trustee to the Servicer or its designee.
(c) Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the
case may be, copies of, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or
other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a
Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any
Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment,
or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification
shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the
Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are
required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not
invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the
termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.
SECTION 3.18. Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for the activities of the Servicer hereunder,
the Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each
Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24. In addition, the Servicer shall be
entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or condemnation proceeds to the extent permitted by Section
3.11(a)(iii) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO
Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. Except as provided in Section
3.29, the right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or
in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that
the Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any amounts due to a Sub-Servicer
pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into under Section 3.02.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption
fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds charges, ancillary income or
otherwise (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by the Servicer only
to the extent such fees or charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer
shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the
Collection Account and pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO
Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned
on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The Servicer
shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its
servicing activities hereunder (including premiums for the insurance
93
required by Section 3.14, to the extent such premiums are not paid by the
related Mortgagors or by a Sub-Servicer and servicing compensation of each
Sub-Servicer) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as
specifically provided herein.
The Servicer shall be entitled to any Prepayment Interest
Excess, which it may withdraw from the Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.11(a)(ix).
SECTION 3.19. Reports to the Trustee; Collection Account
Statements.
Not later than twenty days after each Distribution Date, the
Servicer shall forward to the Trustee and the Depositor the most current
available bank statement for the Collection Account. Copies of such statement
shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any Person
identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon
request at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is
delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.20. Statement as to Compliance.
The Servicer will deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor not
later than March 10th of each calendar year, commencing in 2005, an Officers'
Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance
under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision and (ii) to
the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has
fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or,
if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation,
specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status
thereof. Copies of any such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting
party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.21. Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Report.
Not later than March 10th of each calendar year, commencing in
2005, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of
independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Servicer a report
stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding certain
matters from the management of the Servicer which includes an assertion that the
Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential mortgage loan servicing
standards, identified in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage
Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, with respect
to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the most recently
completed calendar year and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by
such firm in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated in all
material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that may
be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may rely, as to matters
relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage loans by Sub-Servicers,
upon comparable reports of firms of independent certified public accountants
rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with the same
94
standards (rendered within one year of such report) with respect to those
Sub-Servicers. Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Servicer shall
furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee and each Rating Agency. Copies of
such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon
request at the Servicer's expense, provided that such statement is delivered by
the Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.22. Access to Certain Documentation.
The Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift
Supervision, the FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder,
access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable
laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only
upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the
Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation regarding
the Mortgage Loans will be provided to any Certificateholder, the Trustee and to
any Person identified to the Servicer as a prospective transferee of a
Certificate, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices
of the Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Person requesting such
access.
SECTION 3.23. Title, Management and Disposition of REO
Property.
(a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall
be taken in the name of Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trustee for Citigroup
Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2004-OPT1, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates or
its nominee or the name of any successor Trustee, its nominee or any successor,
in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders of Citigroup Mortgage Loan
Trust, Series 2004-OPT1, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates. The Servicer,
on behalf of REMIC I, shall sell any REO Property as soon as practical and in
any event no later than the end of the third full taxable year after the taxable
year in which such REMIC acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or request from the Internal Revenue Service, no
later than 60 days before the day on which the three-year grace period would
otherwise expire, an extension of such three-year period, unless the Servicer
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and addressed to the
Trustee and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by the REMIC of such
REO Property subsequent to three years after its acquisition will not result in
the imposition on the REMIC of taxes on "prohibited transactions" thereof, as
defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any of the REMICs created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and
operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of
its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any of the REMICs
created hereunder of any "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning
of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any "net income from foreclosure
property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.
(b) The Servicer shall separately account for all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property and
shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, with
respect to REO Properties an account held in trust for the
95
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the "REO Account"), which
shall be an Eligible Account. The Servicer shall be permitted to allow the
Collection Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for
each REO Property. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any
interest income paid on funds deposited in the REO Account.
(c) The Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject
only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any
and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the
manner in which the Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the
Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period
(subject to the requirement of prompt disposition set forth in Section 3.23(a))
as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In
connection therewith, the Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in
the clearing account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections
on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a
daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer's
receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in no event
more than two Business Days after the Servicer's receipt thereof, all revenues
received by it with respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom
funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO
Property including, without limitation:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such
REO Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such
REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO
Property.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with
respect to an REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in
clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer
shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes
if, but only if, the Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the
REO Property and if in the Servicer's judgment, the payment of such amounts will
be recoverable from the rental or sale of the REO Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Servicer nor the
Trustee shall:
(A) authorize the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend
any New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its
terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from
Real Property;
(B) authorize any amount to be received or accrued under any
New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real
Property;
(C) authorize any construction on any REO Property, other than
the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then
only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building or
other improvement was completed before
96
default on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the
meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(D) authorize any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property
on any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the
Trust Fund;
unless, in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel,
provided to the Trustee, to the effect that such action will not cause such REO
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by the REMIC, in
which case the Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion
of Counsel.
The Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for
the operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:
(1) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be
inconsistent herewith;
(2) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered
to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO
Property, including those listed above and remit all related revenues
(net of such costs and expenses) to the Servicer as soon as
practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the
receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;
(3) none of the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating to
any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent
Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Servicer of any of its duties
and obligations to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders with
respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and
(4) the Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to
the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and
obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO
Property.
The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties
and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such
Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit
or modify such indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees
owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the
Servicer's compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees;
provided, however, that to the extent that any payments made by such Independent
Contractor would constitute Servicing Advances if made by the Servicer, such
amounts shall be reimbursable as Servicing Advances made by the Servicer.
97
(d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section
3.23(c), the Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO
Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid
Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse
itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made
in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. Upon liquidation
of any REO Property, the Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account
maintained by it and deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance with
Section 3.10(d)(ii), for distribution on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 4.01, any income from the related REO Property received
by the Servicer, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or this
Section 3.23(d)
(e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section
3.23(a), each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer in a manner,
at such price and upon such terms and conditions as shall be normal and usual in
its Servicing Standard.
(f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount
required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan
and net of any payment or reimbursement to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as
provided above, shall be deposited in the Distribution Account in accordance
with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Servicer Remittance Date in the month following
the receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless
changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale
for other consideration).
(g) The Servicer shall file information returns with respect
to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports of
foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of
indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by
Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code, respectively. Such reports shall be
in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by
such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
SECTION 3.24. Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.
Not later than 1:00 p.m. New York time on each Servicer
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Distribution Account an amount
("Compensating Interest") equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate of the
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date and (B) its
aggregate Servicing Fee received in the related Due Period, any interest or
investment income earned on funds deposited in the Collection Account and any
Prepayment Interest Excess earned during the related Prepayment Period. The
Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts remitted to
the Trustee in respect of Compensating Interest. Such amounts so remitted shall
be included in the Available Distribution Amount and distributed therewith on
the next Distribution Date. The Servicer shall not be obligated to pay
Compensating Interest with respect to Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.
98
SECTION 3.25. [Reserved].
SECTION 3.26. Obligations of the Servicer in Respect of
Mortgage Rates and Monthly Payments.
In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or
liability with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the aggregate results from or is
attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated
Principal Balances that were made by the Servicer in a manner not consistent
with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Servicer,
upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall deposit in the
Collection Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and any
successor servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall
survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Section 3.26 shall not limit the ability of the Servicer to seek
recovery of any such amounts from the related Mortgagor under the terms of the
related Mortgage Note, as permitted by law.
SECTION 3.27. Solicitations.
From and after the Closing Date, the Servicer agrees that it
will not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its
agents and Affiliates, or by any independent contractors or independent mortgage
brokerage companies on the Servicer's behalf, to personally, by telephone, mail
or electronic mail, solicit the Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan for the
purpose of refinancing such Mortgage Loan; provided, that the Servicer may
solicit any Mortgagor for whom the Servicer has received a request for
verification of mortgage, a request for demand for payoff, a mortgagor initiated
written or verbal communication indicating a desire to prepay the related
Mortgage Loan, another mortgage company has pulled a credit report on the
mortgagor or the mortgagor initiates a title search; provided further, it is
understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the Servicer or any of its
Affiliates which (i) concern optional insurance products or other additional
products or (ii) are directed to the general public at large, including, without
limitation, mass mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists,
newspaper, radio and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation
under this Section, nor is the Servicer prohibited from responding to
unsolicited requests or inquiries made by a Mortgagor or an agent of a
Mortgagor. Furthermore, the Servicer shall be permitted to include in its
monthly statements to borrowers or otherwise, statements regarding the
availability of the Servicer's counseling services with respect to refinancing
mortgage loans.
SECTION 3.28. Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish
and maintain with itself a separate, segregated trust account titled, "Net WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trustee, in trust for
the registered holders of Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2004-OPT1, Asset
Backed Pass-Through Certificates." The amounts deposited in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account shall consist of any payments received by the Trustee
under the Cap Contracts and deposited into the Net WAC Carryover Reserve Account
for the benefit of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates.
99
On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates and/or the Mezzanine
Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Class CE Certificateholders
to, and therefore will, deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
the amounts described in Section 4.01(a)(4), rather than distributing such
amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Class
A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, and will distribute such amounts
to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and/or the Mezzanine Certificates in
the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(a)(4).
For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE
Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account and all amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC III to the
Holders of the Class CE Interest and by REMIC IV to the Holders of the Class CE
Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or the payment in full of
the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, all amounts remaining
on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be released by the
Trust Fund and distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders or their
designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be part of the Trust
Fund but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Class A
Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts
will not be payments with respect to a "regular interest" in a REMIC within the
meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).
By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE
Certificateholder hereby agrees to direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is
directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts
described above on each Distribution Date as to which there is any Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE
Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE
Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by
such acceptance.
Amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account shall remain uninvested.
For federal tax return and information reporting, the value of
the right to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
shall be $285,000.00, $52,000.00 and $135,000.00 , with respect to the Group I
Certificates, Group II Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates,
respectively.
SECTION 3.29. Advance Facility.
(a) The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a facility
with any Person which provides that such Person (an "Advancing Person") may fund
Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the Trust Fund under this Agreement,
although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the Servicer's
obligation to fund such Advances and/or Servicing Advances. If the Servicer
enters into such an Advance Facility pursuant to this Section 3.29, upon
reasonable
100
request of the Advancing Person, the Trustee shall execute a letter of
acknowledgment, confirming its receipt of notice of the existence of such
Advance Facility. To the extent that an Advancing Person funds any Advance or
any Servicing Advance and provides the Trustee with notice acknowledged by the
Servicer that such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement, such Advancing
Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for
such amount to the extent provided in Section 3.29(b). Such notice from the
Advancing Person must specify the amount of the reimbursement, the Section of
this Agreement that permits the applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to be
reimbursed and the section(s) of the Advance Facility that entitle the Advancing
Person to request reimbursement from the Trustee, rather than the Servicer, and
include the Servicer's acknowledgment thereto or proof of an Event of Default
under the Advance Facility. The Trustee shall have no duty or liability with
respect to any calculation of any reimbursement to be paid to an Advancing
Person and shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the
Advancing Person's notice provided pursuant to this Section 3.29. An Advancing
Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of Advances and/or
Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the qualifications of a
Servicer or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof and will not be
deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement.
(b) If an Advancing Facility is entered into, then the
Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse itself therefor under Section
3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii), Section 3.11(a)(iv), Section 3.11(a)(vii),
Section 3.11(a)(viii) and Section 4.04(b) prior to the remittance to the Trust
Fund, but instead the Servicer shall include such amounts in the applicable
remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 3.10(a). The Trustee is
hereby authorized to pay to the Advancing Person, reimbursements for Advances
and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account to the same extent the
Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances and/or
Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii),
Section 3.11(a)(vi), Section 3.11(a)(vii), Section 3.11(a)(viii) or Section
4.04(b), as the case may be, had the Servicer itself funded such Advance or
Servicing Advance. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay directly to the
Advancing Person such portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties to any advance
facility agree.
(c) All Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a "first
in-first out" (FIFO) basis.
(d) Any amendment to this Section 3.29 or to any other
provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the
terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.29,
including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor master servicer,
may be entered into by the Trustee and the Servicer without the consent of any
Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement.
SECTION 3.30. PMI Policy; Claims Under the PMI Policy.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this
Article III, the Servicer shall not agree to any modification or assumption of a
PMI Mortgage Loan or take any other action with respect to a PMI Mortgage Loan
that could result in denial of coverage under the PMI Policy. The Servicer shall
notify the PMI Insurer that the Trustee, on behalf of the
101
Certificateholders, is the Insured, as that term is defined in the PMI Policy,
of each PMI Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trustee, prepare
and file on a timely basis with the PMI Insurer, with a copy to the Trustee, all
claims which may be made under the PMI Policy with respect to the PMI Mortgage
Loans. Consistent with all rights and obligations hereunder, the Servicer shall
take all actions required under the PMI Policy as a condition to the payment of
any such claim. Any amount received from the PMI Insurer with respect to any
such PMI Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Servicer, no later than two
Business Days following receipt thereof, into the Collection Account. The
Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date
and pay to the PMI Insurer the PMI Insurer Fee in accordance with the terms of
the PMI Policy.

the Holders of the Class P Certificates. Such distributions shall not
be applied to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class P
Certificates.
Following the foregoing distributions, an amount equal to the
amount of Subsequent Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the Highest Priority up to
the extent of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04. An amount equal to the amount of any
remaining Subsequent Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the next Highest Priority,
up to the amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04. Holders of such Certificates will not be
entitled to any distribution in respect of interest on the amount of such
increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on
which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the
Certificate Principal Balance of each Certificate of such Class in accordance
with its respective Percentage Interest.
(c) All distributions made with respect to each Class of
Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated PRO RATA among the
outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage
Interests. Distributions in respect of each Class of Certificates on each
Distribution Date shall be made to the Holders of the respective Class of record
on the related Record Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(e) or
Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the
aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates, and
shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of
any such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least
five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such
Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Certificates having an initial
aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount that is in excess of
the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) two-thirds of the initial Certificate
Principal Balance or Notional Amount of such Class of Certificates, or otherwise
by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such Holder appearing in
the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be
made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate
at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or such other location specified in
the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate
shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be
responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its
Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to
113
the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating firm") for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Depositor
or the Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise
provided by this Agreement or applicable law.
(d) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive
distributions in respect of the Certificates, and all interests of the
Certificateholders in such distributions, shall be as set forth in this
Agreement. None of the Holders of any Class of Certificates, the Trustee or the
Servicer shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of any other
Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously distributed on
the Certificates.
(e) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the
Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of
Certificates will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no
later than three (3) days before the related Distribution Date (to the extent
that an accurate Remittance Report is received in a timely manner by the
Trustee), mail to each Holder on such date of such Class of Certificates a
notice to the effect that:
(i) the Trustee expects that the final distribution with
respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution
Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at
the office of the Trustee therein specified, and
(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and
after the end of the related Interest Accrual Period.
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of
Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of
such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held in trust by the Trustee and credited to the account of the
appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which
notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(e) shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such
notice, the Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after
the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of
their Certificates but shall continue to hold any remaining funds for the
benefit of non-tendering Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of
maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall
be paid out of the assets held in trust for such Certificateholders. If within
one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to Citigroup Global Markets
Inc., in accordance with its wiring instructions, all such amounts, and all
rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon
cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any
amount held in trust by the Trustee as a result of such Certificateholder's
failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance
with this Section 4.01(e). Any such amounts held in trust by the Trustee shall
be
114
held in an Eligible Account and the Trustee may direct any depository
institution maintaining such account to invest the funds in one or more
Permitted Investments. All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in such accounts held in trust by the Trustee shall be for the benefit
of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee shall deposit in such
account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such
Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon the
realization of such loss.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no
event shall the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class A Certificate or a
Mezzanine Certificate be reduced more than once in respect of any particular
amount allocated to such Certificate in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to
Section 4.04 and (ii) in no event shall the Uncertificated Balance of a REMIC
Regular Interest be reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount
both (a) allocated to such REMIC Regular Interest in respect of Realized Losses
pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b) distributed on such REMIC Regular Interest in
reduction of the Uncertificated Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 4.01.

combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of Advances to be made
by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Any
amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be appropriately
reflected in the Servicer's records and replaced by the Servicer by deposit in
the Collection Account on or before any future Servicer Remittance Date to the
extent that the Available Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date
(determined without regard to Advances to be made on the Servicer Remittance
Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be distributed to the
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such
amounts held for future distributions had not been so used to make Advances. The
Trustee will provide notice to the Servicer by telecopy by the close of business
on the third Business Day prior to the Distribution Date in the event that the
amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee on such date is less than the
Advances required to be made by the Servicer for the related Distribution Date.
(c) The obligation of the Servicer to make such Advances is
mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to
(d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall
continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the
removal thereof from the Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this
Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
Advance or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the
Servicer if such Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively. The
determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or a
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Advance or Servicing
Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate
of the Servicer delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee.
SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses.
(a) Prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall
determine as to each Mortgage Loan and REO Property: (i) the total amount of
Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Final Recovery
Determinations made during the related Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and the
extent to which such Realized Losses constituted Bankruptcy Losses; and (iii)
the respective portions of such Realized Losses allocable to interest and
allocable to principal. Prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall
also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (i) the total amount of Realized
Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient Valuations made during
the related Prepayment Period; and (ii) the total amount of Realized Losses, if
any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions in respect of Monthly
Payments due during the related Due Period. The information described in the two
preceding sentences that is to be supplied by the Servicer shall be evidenced by
an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee by the Servicer prior to the
Determination Date immediately following the end of (i) in the case of
Bankruptcy Losses allocable to interest, the Due Period during which any such
Realized Loss was incurred, and (ii) in the case of all other Realized Losses,
the Prepayment Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred.
120
(b) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date as follows: first, to the
Accrued Certificate Interest for the Class CE Certificates for the related
Interest Accrual Period; second, to the Class CE Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; third, to the
Class M-14 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-13 Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class M-12
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero; sixth, to the Class M-11 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, seventh, to the Class M-10
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero, eighth, to the Class M-9 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, ninth, to the Class M-8 Certificates
until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; tenth,
to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero; eleventh, to the Class M-6 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; twelfth, to the
Class M-5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero, thirteenth, to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, fourteenth, to
the Class M-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero, fifteenth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, sixteenth, to
the Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero and seventeenth, to the extent of a Realized Loss on a
Group I Mortgage Loan, to the Class A-1B Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.
All Realized Losses to be allocated to the Certificate
Principal Balances of all Classes on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated
after the actual distributions to be made on such date as provided above. All
references above to the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of
Certificates shall be to the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class
immediately prior to the relevant Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by
any Realized Losses, in each case to be allocated to such Class of Certificates,
on such Distribution Date.
Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate
or Class A-1B Certificate on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated and any
allocation of Realized Losses to a Class CE Certificates shall be made by
reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section
4.01(a)(4). No allocations of any Realized Losses shall be made to the
Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates (other than the Class
A-1B Certificates) or the Class P Certificates.
As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a "PRO
RATA basis" among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an
allocation on a pro rata basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each
such Class of Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate
Principal Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such
Distribution Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class
of
121
Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class
in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.
(c) All Realized Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date to the REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LT1 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT1PF until the Uncertificated
Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero; provided
however, with respect to the first Distribution Date, all Realized Losses on the
Initial Group I Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LT1 until the Uncertificated Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest has
been reduced to zero, and all Realized Losses on the Subsequent Group I Mortgage
Loans shall be allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT1PF until the
Uncertificated Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. All Realized Losses on
the Group II Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each
Distribution Date to the REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT2 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LT2PF until the Uncertificated Balance of each such REMIC I Regular
Interest has been reduced to zero; provided however, with respect to the first
Distribution Date, all Realized Losses on the Initial Group II Mortgage Loans
shall be allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT2 until the Uncertificated
Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero, and all
Realized Losses on the Subsequent Group II Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT2PF until the Uncertificated Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero.
The REMIC I Marker Percentage of all Realized Losses on the
Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date to
the following REMIC II Regular Interests in the specified percentages, as
follows: first, to Uncertificated Interest payable to the REMIC II Regular
Interest II-LTAA and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount
equal to the REMIC II Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively;
second, to the Uncertificated Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA
and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the
REMIC II Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; third, to

zero; seventh to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM10 and REMIC II Regular Interest

Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA,
122

zero; thirteenth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTM4 and REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC
II Regular Interest II-LTM4 has been reduced to zero; fourteenth, to the

II Regular Interest II-LTM1 has been reduced to zero and seventeenth, to the
extent of a Realized Loss on a Group I Mortgage Loan, to the Uncertificated
Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTAA, REMIC II Regular Interest
II-LTA1B and REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively,
until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest II-LTA1B has been
reduced to zero.
The REMIC II Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of all Realized
Losses shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each
Distribution Date first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Balance of each REMIC
II Regular Interest ending with the designation "GRP" equal to 0.01% of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan
Group; second, to each REMIC II Regular Interest ending with the designation
"SUB," so that the Uncertificated Balance of each such REMIC II Regular Interest
is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group over (y) the Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class A Certificate in the related Loan Group (except that if any
such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the
least amount of Realized Losses shall be applied to such REMIC II Regular
Interests such that the REMIC II Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and
third, any remaining Realized Losses shall be allocated to REMIC II Regular
Interest II-LTXX.
123
SECTION 4.05. Compliance with Withholding Requirements
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting
payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the
Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the
Trustee does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount
payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal
withholding requirements, the Trustee shall indicate the amount withheld to such
Certificateholders.
SECTION 4.06. Exchange Commission; Additional Information.
(a) The Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate
with the Depositor in connection with satisfying the reporting requirements
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The
Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the Trust Fund any Forms 8-K and 10-K
customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the Rules
and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and the
Depositor shall sign (or shall cause another entity, other than the Trustee,
acceptable to the Securities and Exchange Commission to sign) and the Trustee
shall file (via the Securities and Exchange Commission's Electronic Data
Gathering and Retrieval System) such forms on behalf of the Depositor (or such
other entity). The Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of
attorney to execute each Form 8-K and file such Forms 8-K and 10-K on behalf of
the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until the earlier of (i)
receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination of such power
of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Depositor, and not the Trustee, shall be responsible
for executing each Form 10-K filed on behalf of the Trust.
(b) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15 days
after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the
Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to
March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange
Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission),
the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law
or applicable Security and Exchange Commission staff's interpretations. Such
Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the Servicer's annual statement of
compliance described under Section 3.20 and the accountant's report described
under Section 3.21, in each case to the extent they have been timely delivered
to the Trustee. If they are not so timely delivered, the Trustee shall file an
amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after
they are delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability with
respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports
resulting from or relating to (a) the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain
any information not resulting from its own negligence or willful misconduct or
(b) any inaccuracy in such periodic reports resulting from incorrect information
provided to the Trustee by the Servicer in a Remittance Report or otherwise. The
Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit I-1 (the "Certification"), which shall be signed by the senior officer
of the Depositor in charge of securitization.
124
(c) In addition, the Trustee shall sign a certification (in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit I-2) for the benefit of the Depositor and
its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of the
Certification (the "Trustee Certification") (provided, however, that the Trustee
shall not undertake an analysis of the accountant's report attached as an
exhibit to the Form 10-K), and the Servicer shall sign a certification in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit I-3) for the benefit of the Depositor, the
Trustee and their officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects
of items of the Certification (the "Servicer Certification"). The Servicer's
certification shall be delivered to the Depositor by no later than March 18th of
each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding
Business Day), the Trustee's certification shall be delivered to the Depositor
by no later than March 19th of each year and the Depositor shall deliver the
Certification to the Trustee for filing no later than March 25th of each year
(or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day).
In addition, (i) the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out
of or based upon (a) the failure of the Trustee to timely deliver the Trustee
Certification or (b) any material misstatement in the Trustee Certification and
(ii) the Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee
and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out
of or based upon (a) the failure of the Servicer to timely deliver the Servicer
Certification or (b) any material misstatement in the Servicer Certification and
(iii) the Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the
Servicer and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and
related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based
upon a breach of the Depositor's obligations under this Section 4.06 or the
Depositor's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to
hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable, then
the Depositor (in connection with a breach of its obligations under this Section
4.06 or its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith)
or the Trustee or the Servicer (in connection with a breach of its respective
obligations under this Section 4.06(c)), agrees that it shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the other party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities of the other party in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect the relative fault and the relative benefit of the Depositor, the
Trustee and the Servicer.
(d) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any
executed report, statement or information.
(e) Prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Trustee
is able to do so under applicable law, the Trustee shall file a Form 15
Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust Fund.
125
(f) To the extent that, following the Closing Date, the
Depositor certifies that reports and certifications differing from those
required under this Section 4.06 comply with the reporting requirements under
the Exchange Act, the Trustee and the Servicer hereby agree that they will
reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Section 4.06 in order to
comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of this
Section 4.06. Any such amendment may result in the reduction of the reports
filed by the Depositor under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this
Section that adversely affects its obligations and immunities under this
Agreement.
SECTION 4.07. Pre-Funding Accounts.
(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
establish and maintain two segregated trust accounts that are each Eligible
Accounts, which shall be titled "Group I Pre-Funding Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank,
N.A., as trustee for the registered holders of Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust,
Series 2004-OPT1, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates" (the "Group I
Pre-Funding Account") and "Group II Pre-Funding Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A.,
as trustee for the registered holders of Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust, Series
2004-OPT1, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates" (the "Group II Pre-Funding
Account"). The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the applicable
Pre-Funding Account and retain therein the Original Group I Pre-Funded Amount
and the Original Group II Pre-Funded Amount, as applicable, remitted on the
Closing Date to the Trustee by the Depositor. Funds deposited in the Pre-Funding
Accounts shall be held in trust by the Trustee for the Certificateholders for
the uses and purposes set forth herein.
(b) The Trustee will invest funds deposited in the Pre-Funding
Accounts as directed by the Depositor in Permitted Investments with a maturity
date (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which
such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this
Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee or an Affiliate manages or advises
such investment, (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to
be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee or an
Affiliate manages or advises such investment or (iii) within one Business Day of
the Trustee's receipt thereof. For federal income tax purposes, the Depositor
shall be the owner of the Pre-Funding Accounts and shall report all items of
income, deduction, gain or loss arising therefrom. All income and gain realized
from investment of funds deposited in the Pre-Funding Accounts shall be
transferred to the Depositor. The Depositor shall deposit in the Pre-Funding
Accounts the amount of any net loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted
Investment immediately upon realization of such loss without any right of
reimbursement therefor. At no time will the Pre-Funding Accounts be assets of
any REMIC created hereunder.
(c) Amounts on deposit in the Pre-Funding Accounts shall be
withdrawn by the Trustee as follows:
(i) On any Subsequent Transfer Date, the Trustee shall
withdraw from the Group I Pre-Funding Account or the Group II
Pre-Funding Account, as applicable, an amount equal to 100% of the
Stated Principal Balances of the Subsequent Group I
126
Mortgage Loans or the Subsequent Group II Mortgage Loans, as applicable,
transferred and assigned to the Trustee for deposit in the Mortgage Pool on such
Subsequent Transfer Date and pay such amount to or upon the order of the
Depositor upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.08 with
respect to such transfer and assignment;
(ii) If the amount on deposit in the Pre-Funding Accounts
(exclusive of any investment income therein) has not been reduced to
zero during the Funding Period, on the day immediately following the
termination of the Funding Period, the Trustee shall deposit into the
Distribution Account any amounts remaining in the Pre-Funding Accounts
(exclusive of any investment income therein) for distribution in
accordance with the terms hereof;
(iii) To withdraw any amount not required to be deposited in
the Pre-Funding Accounts or deposited therein in error; and
(iv) To clear and terminate the Pre-Funding Accounts upon the
earlier to occur of (A) the Distribution Date immediately following the
end of the Funding Period and (B) the termination of this Agreement,
with any amounts remaining on deposit therein being paid to the Holders
of the Certificates then entitled to distributions in respect of
principal.
Withdrawals pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall be
treated as contributions of cash to REMIC 1 on the date of withdrawal.
127
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the
entire beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets
included in REMIC I.
The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed
hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-21. The Certificates of each Class will be
issuable in registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage
Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share
ratably in all rights of the related Class.
Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed,
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to or upon the written order of the
Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper
officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at
the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such
Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided
herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate of
authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
(b) The Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates
shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates held by the Book-Entry
Custodian or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as provided below, the
Depository and registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and,
except as provided below, registration of such Certificates may not be
transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository that agrees to hold such
Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests
therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective Ownership Interests
in and to such Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository
and, except as provided below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully
registered Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") in respect of such Ownership
Interests. All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership
Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the
procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm
representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only
transfer the Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate
Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in
accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. The Trustee is hereby
initially appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such
in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has with the
Depository authorizing it to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and, if
it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall,
appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Trustee and, if the Trustee is not the
128
Book-Entry Custodian, the Trustee, any
other transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository) to
act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry
Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided
that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its
duties or responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than the
Depository. If the Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms
hereof, the successor Trustee or, if it so elects, the Depository shall
immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The
Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any
Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.
The Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor may for all
purposes (including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates)
deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of
exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the
Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate
Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as
Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter
shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different
Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in
connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders
and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.
If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that
the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default,
Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the
Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trustee through
the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a book-entry system through
the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the
Trustee 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 Trustee of the
Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as
applicable, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for
registration of transfer, the Trustee shall cause the Definitive Certificates to
be issued. Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations
of $25,000, except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a
Book-Entry Certificate in an amount less than $25,000 immediately prior to the
issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination
equal to the amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by
the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive
Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
129
SECTION 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices
or agencies to be appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8.11, a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for
the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates
as herein provided.
(b) No transfer of any Class M-14 Certificate,Class CE
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate (the "Private
Certificates") shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), and effective registration or qualification under applicable
state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such
registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of a Private
Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification (other than in
connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to
an Affiliate of the Depositor), the Trustee shall require receipt of: (i) if
such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the
1933 Act, written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect
the transfer and from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other
cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made
without such registration (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of
the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer in its capacity as
such or any Sub-Servicer), together with copies of the written certification(s)
of the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is
based, if any. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to register or
qualify any such Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities laws or
to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the
transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of any such Certificate shall,
and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of
Counsel described in this Section 5.02(b) will be required in connection with
the transfer, on the Closing Date, of any Residual Certificate by the Depositor
to an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(d) of the 1933 Act.
(c) No transfer of a Private Certificate or any interest
therein shall be made to any Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code,
any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any
Person acquiring such Certificates with "Plan Assets" of a Plan within the
meaning of the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C. F. R. ss.
2510.3-101 ("Plan Assets"), as certified by such transferee in the form of
Exhibit G, unless (i) in the case of a Class CE Certificate, a Class P
Certificate or Residual Certificate, the Trustee is provided with an Opinion of
Counsel on which the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer may rely, to the
effect that the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under ERISA and the
Code, will not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction
under ERISA or Section 4975 of the
130
Code and will not subject the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability
(including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code)
in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust
Fund or (ii) in the case of a Class M-14 Certificate, (1) it is an insurance
company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or
interest therein is an "insurance company general account," as such term is
defined in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60 and (3) the
conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied. Neither an
Opinion of Counsel nor any certification will be required in connection with the
initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the
Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof shall have
deemed to have represented that such Affiliate is not a Plan or a Person
investing Plan Assets) and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely
upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a
written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as
an affiliate of the Depositor.
Each beneficial owner of a Mezzanine Certificate (other than a
Class M-14 Certificate) or any interest therein shall be deemed to have
represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that certificate or
interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan investor, (ii) it has
acquired and is holding such Mezzanine Certificate in reliance on the
Underwriters' Exemption, and that it understands that there are certain
conditions to the availability of the Underwriters' Exemption, including that
such Mezzanine Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower
than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by Fitch, S&P or Xxxxx'x and the Certificates
are so rated or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds
used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest therein is an "insurance
company general account," as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60, and (3) the
conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
If any Private Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate or any
interest therein is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the two
preceding paragraphs, the next preceding permitted beneficial owner will be
treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate retroactive to the date of
transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose
acquisition or holding of any such Certificate or interest therein was effected
in violation of the provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Fund
from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by
those parties as a result of that acquisition or holding.
(d) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or
acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the
following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee or its
designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than
such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause
(iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other
things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person
acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject
to the following provisions:
131
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall
promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its
status as a Permitted Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery
to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate
until its receipt of, an affidavit and agreement (a "Transfer Affidavit
and Agreement," in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2) from the
proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee,
representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee
is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership
Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject of the
proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is
not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to
remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions
of this Section 5.02(d) and agrees to be bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee who is assigned to this transaction
has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted
Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit
and Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2 from any other
Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership
Interest unless it provides a Transferor Affidavit (in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F-2) to the Trustee stating that, among
other things, it has no actual knowledge that such other Person is not
a Permitted Transferee.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such
Certificate, agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is a
"pass-through interest holder" within the meaning of temporary Treasury
regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it is, or is holding
an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf of, a
"pass-through interest holder."
(ii) The Trustee will register the Transfer of any Residual
Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement and all of such other documents as shall have been reasonably
required by the Trustee as a condition to such registration. In
addition, no Transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be made unless
the Trustee shall have received a representation letter from the
Transferee of such Certificate to the effect that such Transferee is a
Permitted Transferee.
(iii) (A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of
a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(d), then the last preceding
132
Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law,
to all rights as holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration
of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be
under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a
Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
5.02(d) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such
holder under the provisions of this Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section
5.02(d) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the
rights of the holder of such Residual Certificate as described in
clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then
the Trustee shall have the right, but not the obligation, without
notice to the holder or any prior holder of such Residual Certificate,
to sell such Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the
Trustee on such terms as the Trustee may choose. Such purported
Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate
in accordance with the instructions of the Trustee. Such purchaser may
be the Trustee itself or any Affiliate of the Trustee. The proceeds of
such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions
payable to the Trustee or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if
any, will be remitted by the Trustee to such purported Transferee. The
terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be
determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall
not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The Trustee shall make available to the Internal Revenue
Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all
information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any
Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including the information
described in Treasury regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and
1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the "excess inclusions" of such Residual
Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company,
real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust,
estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds
an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among its
record holders at any time any Person which is a Disqualified
Organization. Reasonable compensation for providing such information
may be accepted by the Trustee.
(v) The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to
this subsection (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided
that there shall have been delivered to the Trustee at the expense of
the party seeking to modify, add to or eliminate any such provision the
following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect
that the modification, addition to or elimination of such provisions
will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current ratings
of any Class of Certificates; and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Trustee, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or
elimination of such provisions will
133
not cause any Trust REMIC to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not
cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to an entity-level tax caused by
the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee or a Person other than the prospective transferee
to be subject to a REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual
Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.
(e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of
the Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the
Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated Transferee or Transferees, one or more new Certificates of
the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.
(f) At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may
be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized
denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender
of such Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the
Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever
any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every
Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if
so required by the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee
duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing. In addition, (i) with respect to each Class R Certificate, the
Holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above, such Class
R Certificate for three separate Certificates, each representing such
Holder's respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-I Interest and
the Class R-II Interest, respectively, in each case that was evidenced
by the Class R Certificate being exchanged and (ii) with respect to
each Class R-X Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in the
manner described above, such Class R-X Certificate for two separate
Certificates, each representing such Holder's respective Percentage
Interest in the Class R-III Interest and the Class R-IV Interest,
respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R-X
Certificate being exchanged.
(g) No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made
for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange
of Certificates.
(h) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange
shall be canceled and destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with its
customary procedures.
SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the
Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to
the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it
harmless, then, in the absence of actual knowledge by the Trustee that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver in
134
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and of like denomination and
Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this
Section, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any
other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable
REMIC created hereunder, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any
of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the
owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to
Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor,
the Servicer, the Trustee or any agent of any of them shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.05. Certain Available Information.
On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Private
Certificate to an Independent third party, the Depositor shall provide to the
Trustee ten copies of any private placement memorandum or other disclosure
document used by the Depositor in connection with the offer and sale of such
Certificates. In addition, if any such private placement memorandum or
disclosure document is revised, amended or supplemented at any time following
the delivery thereof to the Trustee, the Depositor promptly shall inform the
Trustee of such event and shall deliver to the Trustee ten copies of the private
placement memorandum or disclosure document, as revised, amended or
supplemented. The Trustee shall maintain at its Corporate Trust Office and shall
make available free of charge during normal business hours for review by any
Holder of a Certificate, a Certificate Owner or any Person identified to the
Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, originals or copies of the
following items: (i) in the case of a Holder, a Certificate Owner or prospective
transferee of a Private Certificate, the related private placement memorandum or
other disclosure document relating to such Class of Certificates, in the form
most recently provided to the Trustee; and (ii) in all cases, (A) this Agreement
and any amendments hereof entered into pursuant to Section 11.01, (B) all
monthly statements required to be delivered to Certificateholders of the
relevant Class pursuant to Section 4.02 since the Closing Date, and all other
notices, reports, statements and written communications delivered to the
Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to this Agreement since the
Closing Date, (C) all certifications delivered by a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee since the Closing Date pursuant to Section 10.01(h), (D) any and all
Officers' Certificates delivered to the Trustee by the Servicer since the
Closing Date to evidence the Servicer's determination that any Advance or
Servicing Advance was, or if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, and (E) any and all Officers'
Certificates delivered to the Trustee by the Servicer since the Closing Date

ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICER
SECTION 6.01. Liability of the Depositor and the Servicer.
The Depositor and the Servicer each shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed
by this Agreement upon them in their respective capacities as Depositor and
Servicer and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Servicer herein.
SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the
Servicer.
Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in
full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following paragraph,
the Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a
corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. The
Depositor and the Servicer each will obtain and preserve its qualification to do
business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
The Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or consolidated
with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to
any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation
to which the Depositor or the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Servicer, shall be the
successor of the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding;
provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to the Servicer shall
be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac;
and provided further that the Rating Agencies' ratings of the Class A
Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in effect immediately prior to such
merger or consolidation will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result
thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies).
SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the
Servicer and Others.
(a) The Servicer (except the Trustee if it is required to
succeed the Servicer hereunder) indemnifies and holds the each Certificateholder
harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees
and expenses that any Certificateholder may sustain in any way related to the
failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in
compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer shall immediately
notify each Certificateholder if a claim is made that may result in such claims,
losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees or related costs, judgments,
or any other costs, fees and expenses, and the Servicer shall assume
136
(with the consent of the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all
expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and
promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered
against the Certificateholder in respect of such claim. The provisions of this
Section 6.03 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of
the outstanding Certificates.
(b) None of the Depositor, the Servicer or any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Servicer shall
be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Servicer or any such person
against any breach of warranties, representations or covenants made herein, or
against any specific liability imposed on the Servicer pursuant hereto, or
against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason
of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the
Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, PRIMA FACIE,
is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Depositor or the Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by
the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection
with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than
any loss, liability or expense relating to any specific Mortgage Loan or
Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise
reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or any loss, liability or expense
incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall
be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action
unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement;
provided, however, that each of the Depositor and the Servicer may in its
discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable
with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto
and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal
expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except
any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses, costs
and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor and the Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and to the
extent provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to
the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection
Account.
SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of the Servicer.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and Section
6.02, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it except (i) upon determination that the performance of its
obligations or duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law
or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other
activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other
activities of the Servicer
137
so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer
or its subsidiaries or Affiliates at the date of this Agreement or (ii) upon
satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) the Servicer has proposed a
successor servicer to the Trustee in writing and such proposed successor
servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Depositor and (b) each Rating Agency
shall have delivered a letter to the Trustee prior to the appointment of the
successor servicer stating that the proposed appointment of such successor
servicer as Servicer hereunder will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of
the then current rating of the Certificates; provided, however, that no such
resignation by the Servicer shall become effective until such successor servicer
or, in the case of (i) above, the Trustee shall have assumed the Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations hereunder or the Trustee shall have designated,
a successor servicer in accordance with Section 7.02. Any such resignation shall
not relieve the Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified
in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 as obligations that survive the resignation or
termination of the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation
of the Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee.]
(b) Except as expressly provided herein, the 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 Servicer hereunder. The foregoing prohibition on assignment
shall not prohibit the Servicer from designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any
indemnification amount payable to the Servicer hereunder; provided, however,
that as provided in Section 3.06 hereof, no Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party
beneficiary hereunder and the parties hereto shall not be required to recognize
any Sub-Servicer as an indemnitee under this Agreement.
SECTION 6.05. Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the
Servicer.
The Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement
shall provide that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor and the
Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all
records maintained by the Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer) in respect of the
Servicer's rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the
Servicer (and those of any such Sub-Servicer) responsible for such obligations.
Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor and the Trustee its
(and any such Sub-Servicer's) most recent financial statements and such other
information relating to the Servicer's capacity to perform its obligations under
this Agreement as it possesses (and that any such Sub-Servicer possesses). To
the extent such information is not otherwise available to the public, the
Depositor and the Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained
pursuant to the preceding two sentences without the Servicer's written consent,
except as required pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is
appropriate to do so (i) in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing
authorities or other governmental agencies or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule,
regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or
governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor and the Trustee or
the Trust Fund, and in any case, the Depositor or the Trustee as the case may
be, shall use its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such
disseminated non-public information. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to,
138
enforce the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not
obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation
of the Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of the Servicer
under this Agreement; provided that the Servicer shall not be relieved of any of
its obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the
Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or
liability for any action or failure to act by the Servicer and is not obligated
to supervise the performance of the Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

140
(v) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay

an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend
payment of its obligations; or
(vi) any failure of the Servicer to make any Advance on any
Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds
pursuant to Section 4.03 which continues unremedied until 12:00 p.m.
New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Servicer
Remittance Date.
If a Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i)
through (v) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case,
so long as such Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the
Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in
writing to the Servicer and to the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement, to
the extent permitted by law, in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds
thereof. If a Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall
occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer, terminate all of
the rights and obligations of the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under
this Agreement in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof and the
Trustee as successor Servicer, or another successor servicer appointed in
accordance with Section 7.02, shall immediately make such Advance. On or after
the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of
the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates
(other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise,
shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section,
and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the
expense of the Servicer, any and all documents and other instruments and to do
or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the
purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and
endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or
otherwise. The Servicer agrees promptly (and in any event no later than ten
Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee with all
documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer's
functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting
the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer within one Business Day
to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time
shall be or should have been credited by the Servicer to the Collection Account
held by or on behalf of the Servicer, the Distribution Account or any REO
Account or Servicing Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer or thereafter
be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property serviced by
the Servicer (provided, however, that the Servicer shall continue to be entitled
to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior
to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances, Servicing
Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events
occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.01, the
Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Servicer Event of Default
unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the
Trustee's Corporate
141
Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event
which is in fact such a Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee and
such notice references the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement.
SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) (1) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice
of termination, the Trustee shall separately assume and become the successor in
all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement
and the transactions set forth or provided for herein, and all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter
shall be assumed by the Trustee (except for any representations or warranties of
the Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
contained in Section 2.05 and the obligation to deposit amounts in respect of
losses pursuant to Section 3.12) by the terms and provisions hereof including,
without limitation, the Servicer's obligations to make Advances pursuant to
Section 4.03; provided, however, that if the Trustee is prohibited by law or
regulation from obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent mortgage
loans, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to make Advances pursuant to
Section 4.03; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by the Servicer's failure to provide information
required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee as
successor to the Servicer hereunder. It is understood and acknowledged by the
parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days)
before the transition of servicing obligations is fully effective. As
compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and
all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Servicer would have been
entitled if it had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the above and
subject to Section 7.02(a)(2) below, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling
to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if it is prohibited by law
from making advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans or if the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights so request in writing
to the Trustee promptly appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to each
Rating Agency without qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the ratings
then assigned to any of the Certificates and having a net worth of not less than
$15,000,000, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Servicer under this Agreement.
All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor
Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs (provided,
that if the Trustee is the predecessor Servicer by reason of this Section 7.02,
such costs shall be paid by the Servicer preceding the Trustee as successor
servicer), and if such predecessor or initial Servicer, as applicable, defaults
in its obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the successor
Servicer or the Trustee (in which case the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of the
Trust Fund).
(2) No appointment of a successor to the Servicer under this
Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the
Servicer's responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection
with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of
142
payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided,
however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the
Servicer as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor shall
take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the
Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as
hereinabove provided.
Any successor to the Servicer, including the Trustee, shall
during the term of its service as servicer continue to service and administer
the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Certificateholders, and maintain in force
a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the
performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and a fidelity bond in
respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Servicer
is so required pursuant to Section 3.14
SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section
7.01 above or any appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to Section
7.02 above, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register.
(b) Not later than the later of 60 days after the occurrence
of any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute a Servicer Event of Default or five days after a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each
such occurrence, unless such default or Servicer Event of Default shall have
been cured or waived.
SECTION 7.04. Waiver of Servicer Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights
evidenced by all Classes of Certificates affected by any default or Servicer
Event of Default hereunder may waive such default or Servicer Event of Default;
provided, however, that a default or Servicer Event of Default under clause (i)
or (vii) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular
Certificates. Upon any such waiver of a default or Servicer Event of Default,
such default or Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be
deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or Servicer Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
143
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Default and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Default which may have
occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. During a Servicer Event of Default,
the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in
this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.
The Trustee upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to it, which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision
of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the
requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform
to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, it shall take such
action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the
instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, it will provide notice thereof
to the Certificateholders.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve
the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default,
and after the curing of all such Servicer Events of Default which may
have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be
determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall be liable except for the performance of such duties and
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the
Trustee, and in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee,
the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements
and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee that conform to the
requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error
of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers of it unless it shall be proved that it was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect
to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
to it or exercising any trust or power conferred upon it under this
Agreement.
144
SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
Officers'Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed
by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties;
(ii) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of
Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in
good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to
exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or
to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation
hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained
herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the
occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default (which has not been cured or
waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon
it by this Agreement;
(v) Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default
hereunder and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Default which
may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing to do so by the Holders of Certificates entitled
to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the
payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee, of the costs, expenses
or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured
to the Trustee, by such Certificateholders, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such expense, or liability from such
Certificateholders as a condition to taking any such action;
(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents or attorneys; and
145
(vii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any loss
resulting from the investment of funds held in the Collection Account
at the direction of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12.
(b) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of
the Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by it without the
possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or
other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all
the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
(c) The Trustee is hereby directed by the Depositor to execute
and deliver the Cap Contracts on behalf of the Trust Fund in the form presented
to it by the Depositor.
SECTION 8.03. Trustee not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage
Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other
than the signature of the Trustee, the authentication of the Trustee on the
Certificates, the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained in Article II and the
representations and warranties of the Trustee in Section 8.12) shall be taken as
the statements of the Depositor and the Trustee shall not assume any
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee shall not make any
representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Agreement (other than as specifically set forth in Section 8.12) or of the
Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee, and authentication of the
Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document. The
Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of
any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use
or application of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Servicer in respect of
the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by
the Servicer, other than any funds held by or on behalf of the Trustee in
accordance with Section 3.10.
SECTION 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual capacity or any other capacity
may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would
have if it were not the Trustee.
SECTION 8.05. Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
The Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw from the
Distribution Account, pursuant to Section 3.11(b), on each Distribution Date and
pay to itself the Trustee Fee. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee
or agent of the Trustee, shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held
harmless against any loss, liability or expense (not including expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee including the
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel, in
the ordinary course of the Trustee's performance in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the Trustee arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of its obligations and duties
under this Agreement, other than any loss, liability or expense (i) resulting
from any breach of the Servicer's obligations in connection with this Agreement,
(ii) that constitutes a specific liability
146
of the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01(g) or (iii) any loss, liability or
expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in
the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder as a result of a breach of the Trustee's
obligations under Article X hereof. The Servicer agrees to indemnify the
Trustee, from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense
arising in respect of any breach by the Servicer of its obligations in
connection with this Agreement. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or
discharge of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Any
payment hereunder made by the Servicer to the Trustee shall be from the
Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement from REMIC I therefor.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall be reimbursed
from the Trust Fund for all Servicing Transfer Costs without regard to the
annual limitation.
SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or
an association (other than the Depositor, the Originator, the Seller, the
Servicer or any Affiliate of the foregoing) organized and doing business under
the laws of any state or the United States of America, authorized under such
laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50,000,000 (or a member of a bank holding company whose capital and
surplus is at least $50,000,000) and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority. If such corporation or association publishes reports
of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of conditions so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
Section 8.07.
SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the
trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the
Servicer and to the Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning
Trustee and to the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be
delivered to the Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Servicer by the
Depositor. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the
Depositor may remove the and appoint a
147
successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be
delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the successor trustee. A copy of such
instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the Trustee and the
Servicer by the Depositor.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee
by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments
shall be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee so removed
and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument
shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Servicer by the Depositor.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee, pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not
become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the
Trustee is unable to continue to perform its obligations pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement prior to the appointment of a successor, the Trustee shall be
obligated to perform such obligations until a new trustee is appointed. Such
performance shall be without prejudice to any claim by a party hereto or
beneficiary hereof resulting from the Trustee's breach of its obligations
hereunder.
SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and its predecessor
trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and
such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee
herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all
Mortgage Files and related documents and statements to the extent held by it
hereunder, as well as all moneys, held by it hereunder, and the Depositor and
the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such
other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting
and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in
this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such
successor trustee shall not result in a downgrading of any Class of Certificates
by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee, as
provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of
such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as
shown in the Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice
within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the
successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Depositor.
148
SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation or association into which either the Trustee
may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any
corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or
association succeeding to the business of the Trustee shall be the successor of
the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation or association shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of REMIC I or property securing the same may at the time be located, the
Trustee shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to
appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or
co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees,
of all or any part of REMIC I, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity, such title to REMIC I, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other
provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and
trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or
separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as
a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of
Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be
required under Section 8.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate
trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to a defaulting Servicer hereunder), the
Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in
which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding
of title to REMIC I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction
of the Trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trust conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Trustee, or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this
Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording
protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the
Trustee.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time,
constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do
149
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 or
co-trustee.
SECTION 8.11. Appointment of Office or Agency.
The Trustee will appoint an office or agency in the City of
Minneapolis, Minnesota where the Certificates may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange, and presented for final distribution, and
where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates
and this Agreement may be served.
SECTION 8.12. Representations and Warranties.
The Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Servicer and
the Depositor, as of the Closing Date, that:
(i) It is a national banking association duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United
States of America.
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by it, and
the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by it,
will not violate its articles of association or bylaws or constitute a
default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both,
would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any
material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or which
is applicable to it or any of its assets.
(iii) It has the full power and authority to enter into and
consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly
authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement,
and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.
(iv) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and
binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with the
terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (B) general principles
of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law.
(v) It is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery
of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of
this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any order
or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand
of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority,
which violation, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely
to affect materially and adversely either the ability of it to perform
its obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.
150
(vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best of its
knowledge, threatened against it, which would prohibit it from entering
into this Agreement or, in its good faith reasonable judgment, is
likely to materially and adversely affect either the ability of it to
perform its obligations under this Agreement or its financial
condition.

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01. Termination Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of
All Mortgage Loans.
(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and
responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Trustee (other than the obligations of the Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 8.05 and of the Servicer to make remittances to the Trustee and the
Trustee to make payments in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the
Classes of Certificates as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment
to the Certificateholders and the deposit of all amounts held by or on behalf of
the Trustee and required hereunder to be so paid or deposited on the
Distribution Date coinciding with or following the earlier to occur of (i) the
purchase by the Terminator (as defined below) of all Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property
remaining in REMIC I; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust
created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the
last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of
the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof. Subject
to Section 3.10 hereof, the purchase by the Terminator of all Mortgage Loans and
each REO Property remaining in REMIC I shall be at a price (the "Termination
Price") equal to the aggregate fair market value of all of the assets of REMIC I
(as determined by the Terminator and the Trustee, as of the close of business on
the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice of any such
termination is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to the third paragraph
of this Section 9.01) plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the weighted
average of the Mortgage Rates through the end of the Due Period preceding the
final Distribution Date plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Advances, any
unpaid Servicing Fees allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and
any accrued and unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount; provided, however, such
option may only be exercised if the Termination Price is sufficient to pay all
interest accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to retire the principal
balance of, each class of notes issued pursuant to the Indenture.
(b) The majority Holder of the Class CE Certificates (so long
as such holder is not an affiliate of the Seller) or if such majority Holder
fails to exercise such right , the Servicer, shall have the right (the party
exercising such right, the "Terminator"), to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans
and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) of the
preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in the month
immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates will be
retired; provided, however, that the Terminator may elect to purchase all of the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i)
above only if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and
each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election is
reduced to less than 10% (in the case of the majority Holder of the Class CE
Certificates) or 5% (in the case of the Servicer) of the sum of (i) the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date
and (ii) the Original Pre-Funded Amounts. By
152
acceptance of a Residual Certificate, the Holders of the Residual Certificates
agree, in connection with any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any
amounts in excess of par, and to the extent received in respect of such
termination, to pay any such amounts to the Holders of the Class CE
Certificates.
(c) Notice of the liquidation of the Certificates shall be
given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed (a) in the
event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans
and each REO Property by the Terminator, not earlier than the 10th day and not

distribution on the related Certificates or (b) otherwise during the month of
such final distribution on or before the Determination Date in such month, in
each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund will
terminate and the final payment in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests, as
applicable and the related Certificates will be made upon presentation and
surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein
designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, (iii) that no interest
shall accrue in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests or the related
Certificates from and after the Interest Accrual Period relating to the final
Distribution Date therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to
such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon
presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the
Trustee. In the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of
all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the
Terminator, the Terminator shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account not later than the last Business Day of the month next
preceding the month of the final distribution on the related Certificates an
amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described purchase
price. The Trustee shall remit to the Servicer from such funds deposited in the
Distribution Account (i) any amounts which the Servicer would be permitted to
withdraw and retain from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11 and
(ii) any other amounts otherwise payable by the Trustee to the Servicer from
amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, in each case prior to making any final distributions pursuant to
Section 10.01(d) below. Upon certification to the Trustee by the Terminator of
the making of such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release to the
Terminator the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee
shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments necessary to
effectuate such transfer.
Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder
in respect of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.

regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel obtained
at the expense of the Terminator;
(ii) During such 90-day liquidation period and, at or prior to
the time of making of the final payment on the Certificates, the
Trustee shall sell all of the assets of REMIC I to the Terminator for
cash; and
(iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be
distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates in
respect of the Class R-I Interest all cash on hand in the Trust Fund
(other than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust Fund shall
terminate at that time.
(b) At the expense of the requesting Terminator (or, if the
Trust Fund is being terminated as a result of the occurrence of the event
described in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01, at the expense
of the Depositor without the right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund), the
Terminator shall prepare or cause to be prepared the documentation required in
connection with the adoption of a plan of liquidation of each Trust REMIC
pursuant to this Section 9.02.

(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day"
of each Trust REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) The Trustee shall be reimbursed for any and all expenses
relating to any tax audit of the Trust Fund (including, but not limited to, any

Trustee or an Affiliate as its agent to perform all of the duties of the tax
matters person for the Trust Fund.
(d) The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file all of the Tax
Returns (including Form 8811, which must be filed within 30 days following the

155
Trust REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns
shall be borne by the Trustee without any right of reimbursement therefor.
(e) The Trustee shall perform on behalf of each Trust REMIC
all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of
such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance
issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority.
Among its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other
such compliance guidance, the Trustee shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a
Residual Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any
tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not

Trustee shall not take any action or cause the Trust Fund to take any action or
fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC
Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the
status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax
upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited
transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on
contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such
event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to take
such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) to the effect that
the contemplated action will not, with respect to any Trust REMIC, endanger such
status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall the Servicer take or
fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the
Trustee has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action;
provided that the Servicer may conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and
shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with
such Opinion of Counsel. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to
any Trust REMIC or the respective assets of each, or causing any Trust REMIC to
take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement,
the Servicer will consult with the Trustee or its designee, in writing, with
respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with
respect to any Trust REMIC and the Servicer shall not take any such action or
cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee has
advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided that the
Servicer may conclusively rely on such writing and shall incur no liability for
its action or failure to act in accordance with such writing. The Trustee may
consult with counsel to make
156
such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to
take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost
be an expense of the Trustee. At all times as may be required by the Code, the
Trustee will ensure that substantially all of the assets of REMIC I will consist
of "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and
"permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code, to the
extent such obligations are within the Trustee's control and not otherwise
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited
transactions" of any Trust REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section
860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of such
REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any
such REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the
Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of
state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant
to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by
the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Servicer
pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a
breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this
Article X, or (iii) in all other cases, against amounts on deposit in the
Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.
(h) On or before April 15 of each calendar year, commencing
April 15, 2005, the Trustee shall deliver to each Rating Agency an Officer's
Certificate of the Trustee stating the Trustee's compliance with this Article X.
(i) The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes,
maintain books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a calendar year
and on an accrual basis.
(j) Following the Startup Day, neither the Servicer nor the
Trustee shall accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other than
in connection with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in
accordance with Section 2.03 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause
any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding or subject any Trust REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions
or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(k) Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall enter into any
arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation
for services nor knowingly permit any Trust REMIC to receive any income from
assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the
Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

157
acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of REMIC I, (iii)
the termination of REMIC I pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement, (iv) a

defaulted Mortgage Loan), nor sell or dispose of any investments in the
Collection Account or the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any
contributions to any Trust REMIC after the Closing Date (other than a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03), unless it
has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of
the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or
contribution but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) that such sale,
disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect
adversely the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC
to be subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant
to the REMIC Provisions.
SECTION 10.03. Servicer and Trustee Indemnification.
(a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the

limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust
Fund, the Depositor or the Servicer as a result of a breach of the Trustee's
covenants set forth in this Article X.
(b) The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the
Depositor and the Trustee for any taxes and costs including, without limitation,

set forth in Article III or this Article X.

SECTION 11.08. Article and Section References.
All article and section references used in this Agreement,
unless otherwise provided, are to articles and sections in this Agreement.
SECTION 11.09. Grant of Security Interest.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee, be, and be
construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of
the Mortgage Loans to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor.
However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the
parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a)
it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge
of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be
a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the
conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by
the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor's
right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable
to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and
all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested
in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account, whether in the form of
cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured by
such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor's obligations
under this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the
Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans
and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee
for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in
the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the
preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance
by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding
sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the
conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and unconditional
sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the
Depositor to the Trustee.
163
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Trustee have caused their names to be signed hereto by their respective officers

Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such

Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is

therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the

Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below
or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is
made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective registration or
qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a
transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the
event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require receipt of (i) if such
transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933
Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to
effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in
all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may
be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee or
the Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of
the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect
the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion
of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to
register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under
the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under the Agreement to
A-19-3
permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification.
Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required
to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer against any liability
that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified
in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts
held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and
to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor
to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust Fund to cease
to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the

A-21-3

collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account and the Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders
under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee
with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the
Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in the
Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below
or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is
made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective registration or
qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a
transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the
event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require receipt of (i) if such
transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933
Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to
effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in
all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may
be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee or
the Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of
the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect
the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion
of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to
register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under
the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without
registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this
Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the
Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
A-21-4
No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified
in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of
this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the Trustee (i) an
affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a
Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or
middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that
acknowledges that (A) the Class R-X Certificates have been designated as a
residual interest in a REMIC, (B) it will include in its income a PRO RATA share
of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an "excess
inclusion," as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be
offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to
have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those
relating to holding the Class R-X Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration
in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be
deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and
to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor
to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust Fund to cease
to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts
held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement
A-21-5
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be

(the "Originator"), Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp., a New York
corporation (the "Seller") and Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Purchaser").
Preliminary Statement
---------------------
The Seller intends to sell the Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter
identified) to the Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement. The Purchaser intends to deposit the Mortgage Loans
into a mortgage pool comprising the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund will be evidenced
by a single series of asset backed pass-through certificates designated as
Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2004-OPT1, Asset Backed Pass-Through
Certificates (the "Certificates"). The Certificates will consist of twenty-one
classes of certificates and will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2004 (the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement"), among the Depositor as depositor, Option One Mortgage Corporation
as servicer (the "Servicer") and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. as trustee (the
"Trustee"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Agreement to Purchase.
---------------------
The Seller agrees to sell and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, on
or before September 2, 2004 (the "Closing Date"), certain fixed-rate and
adjustable-rate conventional, one-to four-family, first lien and second lien,
residential mortgage loans purchased by the Seller from the Originator (the
"Mortgage Loans"), having an aggregate principal balance as of the close of
business on September 1, 2004, (the "Cut-off Date") of $1,083,027,227.62 (the
"Closing Balance"), after giving effect to all payments due on the Mortgage
Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, whether or not received including the right
to any Prepayment Charges payable by the related Mortgagors in connection with
any Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans, on an Originator
servicing-retained basis.
SECTION 2. Mortgage Loan Schedule.
----------------------
The Purchaser and the Seller have agreed upon which of the Mortgage
Loans are to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and the
Seller will prepare or cause to be prepared on or prior to the Closing Date a
final schedule (the "Closing Schedule") that shall describe such Mortgage Loans
and set forth all of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased under this Agreement,
including the Prepayment Charges. The Closing Schedule will conform to the
requirements set forth in this Agreement and, with respect to the Mortgage Loans
subject to this Agreement, to the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Closing Schedule shall be used as part
of the Mortgage Loan Schedule under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
shall be based on information provided by the Originator.
SECTION 3. Consideration.
-------------
(a) In consideration for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased
hereunder, the Purchaser shall, as described in Section 8, pay to or upon the
order of the Seller in immediately available funds an amount (the "Purchase
Price") equal to the net sale proceeds of the Certificates.
(b) The Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the
Purchaser shall be entitled to all scheduled payments of principal due after the
Cut-off Date, all other payments of principal due and collected after the
Cut-off Date, and all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans allocable to
the period after the Cut-off Date. All scheduled payments of principal and
interest due on or before the Cut-off Date and collected after the Cut-off Date
shall belong to the Seller.
(c) Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Purchaser
will assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans,
together with its rights under this Agreement, to the Trustee for the benefit of
the Certificateholders.
SECTION 4. Transfer of the Mortgage Loans.
------------------------------
(a) Possession of Mortgage Files. The Seller does hereby sell, and
----------------------------
in connection therewith hereby assigns, to the Purchaser, effective as of the
Closing Date, without recourse but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all
of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, including
the related Prepayment Charges. The contents of each Mortgage File not delivered
to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser on
or prior to the Closing Date are and shall be held in trust by the Seller for
the benefit of the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the
Purchaser. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the ownership of each Mortgage
Note, the related Mortgage and the other contents of the related Mortgage File
is vested in the Purchaser and the ownership of all records and documents with
respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or that come into the
possession of the Seller on or after the Closing Date shall immediately vest in
the Purchaser and shall be delivered immediately to the Purchaser or as
otherwise directed by the Purchaser.
(b) Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents. The Seller will, on or
-----------------------------------
prior to the Closing Date, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser or
any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser each of the following
documents for each Mortgage Loan:
(i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank or in the
following form "Pay to the order of Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trustee
under the applicable agreement, without recourse," with all prior and
intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsement from the
originator to the Person so endorsing to the Trustee;
(ii) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon, and
the original recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed
pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording thereon;
(iii) an original Assignment in blank;
2
(iv) the original recorded Assignment or Assignments showing a
complete chain of assignment from the originator to the Person assigning
the Mortgage to the Trustee as contemplated by the immediately preceding
clause (iii);
(v) the original or copies of each assumption, modification or
substitution agreement, if any; and
(vi) the original lender's title insurance policy or, if the original title
policy has not been issued, the irrevocable commitment to issue the same.
With respect to a maximum of approximately 2.0% of the Original
Mortgage Loans, by outstanding principal balance of the Original Mortgage Loans
as of the Cut-off Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in Section
2(b)(i) above cannot be located, the obligations of the Seller to deliver such
documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the Purchaser of a
photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note affidavit
substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit
was delivered to the Purchaser is subsequently located, such original Mortgage
Note shall be delivered to the Purchaser within three Business Days.
If any of the documents referred to in Sections 4(b)(ii), (iii) or
(iv) above has, as of the Closing Date, been submitted for recording but either
(x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has
been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of such
document, the obligations of the Seller to deliver such documents shall be
deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Purchaser of a copy of each such
document certified by the Originator in the case of (x) above or the applicable
public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy
of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is
certified by the Originator, delivery to the Purchaser promptly upon receipt
thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified by the
applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original. Notice shall be provided to the Purchaser, the Trustee and the Rating
Agencies by the Seller if delivery pursuant to clause (2) above will be made
more than 180 days after the Closing Date. If the original lender's title
insurance policy was not delivered pursuant to Section 4(b)(vi) above, the
Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser, promptly after
receipt thereof, the original lender's title insurance policy. The Seller shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof
any other original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original
documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.
The Seller shall (at the expense of the Originator) promptly (within
sixty Business Days following the later of the Closing Date and the date of
receipt by the Seller of the recording information for a Mortgage, but in no
event later than ninety days following the Closing Date) submit or cause to be
submitted for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the
Purchaser, in the appropriate public office for real property records, each
Assignment referred to in Sections 4(b)(iii) and (iv) above and the Seller shall
execute each original Assignment or cause each original Assignment to be
executed in the following form: "Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trustee under the
applicable agreement." In the event that any such Assignment is lost or
3
returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Seller shall promptly
prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be
cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment
to be duly recorded.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative
convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the
Assignments shall not be required to be submitted for recording (except with
respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland, Florida, Hawaii and

Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates; provided, however, the Seller
shall submit or cause to be submitted each Assignment for recording in the
manner described above, at the expense of the Originator and at no expense to
the Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable
direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting
Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence
of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Servicer, (iv) the
occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, (v) with respect to any one Assignment, the occurrence
of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the
related Mortgage and (vi) any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more Delinquent.
Upon receipt of written notice that recording of the Assignments is required
pursuant to one or more of the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence,
the Seller shall be required to deliver such Assignments or shall cause such
Assignments to be delivered within 30 days following receipt of such notice.
Each original document relating to a Mortgage Loan which is not
delivered to the Purchaser or its assignee, transferee or designee, if held by
the Seller, shall be so held for the benefit of the Purchaser, its assignee,
transferee or designee.
(c) Acceptance of Mortgage Loans. The documents delivered pursuant
----------------------------
to Section 4(b) hereof shall be reviewed by the Purchaser or any assignee,
transferee or designee of the Purchaser at any time before or after the Closing
Date (and with respect to each document permitted to be delivered after the
Closing Date, within seven days of its delivery) to ascertain that all required
documents have been executed and received and that such documents relate to the
Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
(d) Transfer of Interest in Agreements. The Purchaser has the right
----------------------------------
to assign its interest under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to the
Trustee, as may be required to effect the purposes of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, without the consent of the Seller or the Originator, and the assignee
shall succeed to the rights and obligations hereunder of the Purchaser. Any
expense reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Purchaser or the Trustee in
connection with enforcing any obligations of the Seller or the Originator under
this Agreement will be promptly reimbursed by the Seller or the Originator, as
applicable.
(e) Examination of Mortgage Files. Prior to the Closing Date, the
-----------------------------
Seller shall either (i) deliver in escrow to the Purchaser, or to any assignee,
transferee or designee of the Purchaser for examination, the Mortgage File
pertaining to each Mortgage Loan or (ii) make such Mortgage Files available to
the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser for
examination. Such examination may be made by the Purchaser or the Trustee, and
4

business hours before the Closing Date and within 60 days after the Closing
Date. If any such person makes such examination prior to the Closing Date and

Purchaser as described in this Agreement, such Mortgage Loans shall be deleted
from the Closing Schedule. The Purchaser may, at its option and without notice
to the Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any
partial or complete examination. The fact that the Purchaser or any person has
conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the
Mortgage Files shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser or any assignee,
transferee or designee of the Purchaser to demand repurchase or other relief as
provided herein or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 6. Representations and Warranties of the Originator Relating
---------------------------------------------------------
to the Mortgage Loans.
---------------------
The Originator hereby represents and warrants to the Seller and the
Purchaser that as to each Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date or as of such
other date as specified herein:
(1) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (as such
term is defined in the Master Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement
between the Seller and the Originator, dated August 1, 2004 (the "Whole Loan
Agreement") is complete, true and correct as of the date that the Originator
sold such Mortgage Loan to the Seller (the "Whole Loan Sale Date");
(2) Each document or instrument in the related Mortgage File is in a
form generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lenders that regularly originate
or purchase mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans for sale to prudent
investors in the secondary market that invest in mortgage loans such as the
Mortgage Loans;
(3) The Originator has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or
knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than a Mortgagor of
the related Mortgaged Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any
amount required by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage; and there was no delinquency
(other than payments less than 30 days delinquent), exclusive of any period of
grace, in any payment by the Mortgagor thereunder from the origination of the
Mortgage Loan to the Whole Loan Sale Date;
(4) There are no delinquent taxes, insurance premiums or any other
assessments that could jeopardize the lien position of the Mortgage Loan,
including assessments payable in future installments or other outstanding
charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property;
(5) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been
impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written
instruments, recorded in the applicable public recording office if necessary to
maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, the substance of any such waiver,
alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent
required by the related policy, and is reflected on the related Mortgage Loan
Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed,
and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection
with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent
required by the policy, and which
9
assumption agreement has been delivered to the
Purchaser and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(6) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right
of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or valid defense, including the defense of
usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage
unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any such right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury and no such
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with
respect thereto;
(7) All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an
insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac against loss by fire, hazards
of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where
the Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant to insurance policies providing
coverage in an amount, except where limited by applicable law to a lesser
amount, not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all
improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) either (A) the outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan with respect to each first lien Mortgage
Loan or (B) with respect to each second lien Mortgage Loan, the sum of the
outstanding principal balance of the first lien Mortgage Loan and the
outstanding principal balance of the second lien Mortgage Loan, (iii) the amount
necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to
the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been
required as of the date of origination in accordance with Originator's
underwriting guidelines or (iv) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any
damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a
replacement cost basis. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee
clause naming the Originator, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all
premiums due and payable thereon have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in
an area identified on a Flood Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and
such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting
the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of Xxxxxx
Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain
all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's
failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such
insurance at Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor
from the Mortgagor;
(8) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law
including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement
procedures, predatory and abusive lending, consumer credit protection, equal
credit opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the
origination and servicing of mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage
Loans have been complied with in all material respects;
(9) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or
rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released
from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been
executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination,
rescission or release;
10
(10) The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable (subject to principles of
equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting
the rights of creditors) (A) first lien and first priority security interest
with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Originator to be a
first lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second lien and
second priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is
indicated by the Originator to be a second lien (as reflected on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule), in either case, on the Mortgaged Property, including all
improvements on the Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of current,
non-delinquent real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b)
covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other
matters of the public record as of the date of recording being acceptable to
mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the
lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan
and which do not adversely affect the Value of the Mortgaged Property, (c) with
respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Originator to be a
second lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) a first
lien on the Mortgaged Property; and (d) other matters to which like properties
are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel
mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the
Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable first or
second lien and first or second priority security interest (in each case, as
indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule);
(11) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each
is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy,
insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of
creditors and except that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and
other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the
discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefore may be brought;
(12) All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal
capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage
Note and the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and
properly executed by such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person;
(13) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to
or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee
to advance additional funds thereunder and any and all requirements as to
completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any
escrow funds therefore have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses
incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the
Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any
amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(14) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan,
whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period
in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any
and all applicable "doing business" and licensing requirements of the laws of
the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located;
11
(15) The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title
insurance policy (which, in the case of an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan has an
adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1) acceptable
to Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx
Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the
Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in
(10)(a) and (b), and with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan (c), above)
the Originator, its successors and assigns as to the first or second priority
lien (as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) of the Mortgage in the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to any
Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or
unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage
providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally,
such lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to
and from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or upon the
Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Originator and its successors
and assigns are the sole named insured of such lender's title insurance policy,
and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be
in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance
policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Originator,
has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such
lender's title insurance policy;
(16) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the
passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period,
would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and the
Originator has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration. With respect to each second lien Mortgage Loan (i) the related
first lien mortgage loan is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under such first lien
mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of
time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would
constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder, and
either (A) the first lien mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B)
applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the second lien Mortgage Loan to
receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default
by payment in full or otherwise under the first lien mortgage;
(17) As of the Whole Loan Sale Date, there are no mechanics' or
similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and
no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such lien) affecting
the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or
coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage;
(18) All improvements which were considered in determining the Value
of the related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property;
(19) The Mortgage Loan was originated or acquired by the Originator
or by a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank or
similar banking institution
12
which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority, or by a
mortgagee approved as such by the Secretary of HUD;
(20) Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than
sixty days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage
Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Rate set forth on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule. With respect to each Mortgage Loan and, unless otherwise disclosed on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of
each month in Monthly Payments, which, in the case of a Fixed-Rate Mortgage
Loans, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the
original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan identified on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan during the
interest-only period) and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Rate, and, in
the case of an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan, are changed on each Adjustment
Date, and in any case, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal
balance over the original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage
Loan identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only
Mortgage Loan during the interest-only period) and to pay interest at the
related Mortgage Rate. With respect to each Mortgage Loan identified on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan, the interest-only
period shall not exceed five (5) years (or such other period specified on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule) and following the expiration of such interest-only
period, the remaining Monthly Payments shall be sufficient to fully amortize the
original principal balance over the remaining term of the Mortgage Loan. The
Index for each Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan is as defined in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule. The Mortgage Note does not permit negative amortization. No Mortgage
Loan is a convertible mortgage loan;
(21) The origination and collection practices used by the Originator
with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all respects legal,
proper, prudent and customary as used by institutions in the mortgage
origination and servicing industry which originate or service mortgage loans of
the same type as such Mortgage Loan in the jurisdiction where the related
Mortgaged Property is located. The Mortgage Loan has been serviced by the
Originator and any predecessor servicer in accordance with the terms of the
Mortgage Note. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, all
such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Originator
and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary
arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or
Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Originator have been
capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no such escrow
deposits or Escrow Payments are being held by the Originator for any work on a
Mortgaged Property which has not been completed;
(22) As of the Whole Loan Sale Date, the Mortgaged Property was free
of damage and waste and there is no proceeding pending for the total or partial
condemnation thereof;
(23) The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder
thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the
benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (a) in the case of a
Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (b) otherwise by
judicial foreclosure. As of the Whole Loan Sale Date, the Mortgaged
13
Property is not subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding
and the Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy. There is no homestead or other exemption
available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the
Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage.
As of the Whole Loan Sale Date, the Mortgagor has not notified the Originator
and the Originator has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the
Mortgagor under the Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act;
(24) The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the
underwriting standards of the Originator in effect at the time the Mortgage Loan
was originated; and the Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms generally
acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac;
(25) The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any
collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged
Property and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or
chattel mortgage referred to in (10) above;
(26) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related
Mortgaged Property which satisfied the standards of Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac,
was on appraisal form 1004, 2055, 2065 or 704 and, except as otherwise set forth
on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, contained an interior inspection and was made and
signed, prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application, by a qualified
appraiser, duly appointed by the Originator, who had no interest, direct or
indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof,
whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the
Mortgage Loan and who met the minimum qualifications of Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx
Mac. Each appraisal of the Mortgage Loan was made in accordance with the
relevant provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and
Enforcement Act of 1989;

Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition of a premium upon
a prepayment prior to maturity: (i) prior to the Mortgage Loan's origination,
the Mortgagor agreed to such premium in exchange for a monetary benefit,
including but not limited to a rate or fee reduction, (ii) prior to the Mortgage

purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws. No Mortgage Loan is subject to

regulations promulgated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United
States Department of the Treasury (the "OFAC Regulations") or in violation of
the Executive Order or the OFAC Regulations, and no Mortgagor is subject to the

product designed for less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the
Mortgage Loan's origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account
credit history and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then
offered by the Mortgage Loan's originator or any affiliate of the
18
Mortgage Loan's originator. If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor
may have qualified for a for a lower cost credit product then offered by any
mortgage lending affiliate of the Mortgage Loan's originator, the Mortgage
Loan's originator referred the Mortgagor's application to such affiliate for
underwriting consideration;
(60) The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit
for each Mortgage Loan employs objective mathematical principles which relate
the Mortgagor's income, assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such
underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor's equity
in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such credit
extension. Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of
origination (application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to
make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan;

SECTION 13. Mandatory Delivery; Grant of Security Interest.
----------------------------------------------
The sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans
described on the Mortgage Loan Schedule in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically understood and
agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and
that an award of money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser
for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the
Seller's failure to deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date.
The Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security
interest in the Seller's interest
24
in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument evidencing each such
Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of its obligation

SECTION 16. Agreement of Parties.
--------------------
The Seller, the Originator and the Purchaser each agree to execute

SECTION 17. Survival.
--------
(a) The Seller agrees that the representations, warranties and
agreements made by it herein and in any certificate or other instrument
delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Purchaser,
notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Purchaser
or on its behalf, and that the representations, warranties and agreements made
by the Seller herein or in any such certificate or other instrument shall
survive the delivery of and payment for the Mortgage Loans and shall continue in
full force and effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement
on the Mortgage Notes and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this
Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.
(b) The Originator agrees that the representations, warranties and
agreements made by it herein and in any certificate or other instrument
delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Seller and

SECTION 18. GOVERNING LAW.
-------------
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS)
AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE
PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY
TO THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION 19. Miscellaneous.
-------------
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. This Agreement supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither
this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or
terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is
sought. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and
shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
26
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance
of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 4
hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to
the Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the
Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the
event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the
Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller, then (a) it is the express
intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage
Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the
Seller and (b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security
agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform
Commercial Code; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof shall be
deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in
all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and
all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of
the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including
without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to
time held or invested in the Collection Account whether in the form of cash,
instruments, securities or other property; (3) the possession by the Purchaser
or its agent of Mortgage Notes, the related Mortgages and such other items of
property that constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel
paper shall be deemed to be "possession" by the secured party for purposes of
perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York Uniform Commercial
Code; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the
Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable
law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d)
hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created
hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this
Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this
Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such
security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first
priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term
of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Purchaser, the Seller and the Originator

obtained a current representation letter from such third
F-1-5
party or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude
that such third party independently meets the definition of "qualified
institutional buyer" set forth in Rule 144A.

certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.

STATE OF NEW YORK )
COUNTY OF NEW YORK )
__________________________, being duly sworn, deposes, represents
and warrants as follows:
1. I am a ______________________ of ____________________________
(the "Owner") a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of
______________, the record owner of Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc., Series
2004-OPT1, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Class R Certificates, (the
"Class R Certificates"), on behalf of whom I make this affidavit and agreement.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings
assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to which the
Class R Certificates were issued.
2. The Owner (i) is and will be a "Permitted Transferee" as of
____________, 20__ and (ii) is acquiring the Class R Certificates for its own
account or for the account of another Owner from which it has received an
affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. A "Permitted
Transferee" is any person other than a "disqualified organization" or a
possession of the United States. For this purpose, a "disqualified organization"
means the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any agency
or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of
the activities of which are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is not selected by
any such governmental entity) or any foreign government, international
organization or any agency or instrumentality of such foreign government or
organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative, or any organization
(other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that is generally exempt from federal
income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business
taxable income.
3. The Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on
transfers of the Class R Certificates to disqualified organizations under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that applies to all transfers of the Class R
Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor
or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person includes a broker,
nominee or middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent; (iii) that
the person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the
tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an affidavit that the transferee
is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such person does not
have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that each of the
Class R Certificates may be a "noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning
of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code and that the
transferor of a "noneconomic residual interest" will remain liable for any taxes
due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant
purpose of the transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
4. The Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through entity"
holding the Class R Certificates if, at any time during the taxable year of the
pass-through entity, a
F-2-1
non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity.
(For this purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment
company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership,
trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)
5. The Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the
transfer of any Class R Certificate unless the transferee, or the transferee's
agent, delivers to the Trustee, among other things, an affidavit in
substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Owner expressly agrees that
it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any of the
representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are false.
6. The Owner consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements
that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable
arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be owned, directly
or indirectly, by an Owner that is a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Owner's taxpayer identification number is _______________.
8. The Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of
the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were issued (in
particular, clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(d) which authorize the
Trustee to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and negotiate a
mandatory sale by the Trustee in the event that the Owner holds such Certificate
in violation of Section 5.02(d)); and that the Owner expressly agrees to be
bound by and to comply with such restrictions and provisions.
9. The Owner is not acquiring and will not transfer the Class R
Certificates in order to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
10. The Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds the
Class R Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder
of such Class R Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the benefit of
the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificates that the Owner intends
to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R Certificates as they become
due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash
flows generated by the Class R Certificates.
11. The Owner has no present knowledge that it may become insolvent
or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds the Class R
Certificates.
12. The Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will
