ARTICLE II
CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS; REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,
does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Trustee without
recourse all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the assets
of the Trust Fund. Such assignment includes all interest and principal received
on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans on or after the Cut-off Date (other
than Scheduled Payments due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off
Date).
In connection with such assignment, the Depositor does hereby deliver
to, and deposit with, the Trustee the following documents or instruments with
respect to each Mortgage Loan so assigned:
(A) The Original Mortgage Note, together with all riders thereto,
endorsed, "Pay to the order of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as trustee - SURF
2005-BC3, without recourse" together with all riders thereto. The Mortgage Note
shall include all intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of the title
from the originator to the Seller.
(B) Except as provided below and for each Mortgage Loan that is not a
MERS Loan, the original recorded Mortgage together with all riders thereto, with
evidence of recording thereon, or, if the original Mortgage has not yet been
returned from the recording office, a copy of the original Mortgage together
with all riders thereto certified by the Seller to be a true copy of the
original of the Mortgage that has been delivered for recording in the
appropriate recording office of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property
is located and in the case of each MERS Loan, the original Mortgage together
with all riders thereto, noting the presence of the MIN of the Loan and either
language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan or if the Mortgage Loan
was not a MOM Loan at origination, the original Mortgage and the assignment
thereof to MERS, with evidence of recording indicated thereon, or a copy of the
Mortgage certified by the public recording office in which such Mortgage has
been recorded.
(C) In the case of each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Loan, the
original Assignment of each Mortgage, to "JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as trustee
- SURF 2005-BC3."
(D) The original policy of title insurance (or a preliminary title
report, commitment or binder if the original title insurance policy has not
been received from the title insurance company).
(E) Originals of any intervening assignments of the Mortgage, with
evidence of recording thereon or, if the original intervening assignment has not
yet been returned from the recording office, a copy of such assignment certified
to be a true copy of the original of the assignment which has been sent for
recording in the appropriate jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is
located.
(F) Originals of all assumption and modification agreements, if
any.
If in connection with any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor cannot deliver
the Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage or assumption, consolidation or
modification, as the case may be, with evidence of recording thereon, if
applicable, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement
solely because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such
Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage or assumption, consolidation or modification,
as the case may be, has been delivered for recordation, the Depositor shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee written notice stating that such
Mortgage or assumption, consolidation or modification, as the case may be, has
been delivered to the appropriate public recording office for recordation.
Thereafter, the Depositor shall
49
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee such Mortgage, Assignments of
Mortgage or assumption, consolidation or modification, as the case may be, with
evidence of recording indicated thereon, if applicable, upon receipt thereof
from the public recording office. To the extent any required endorsement is not
contained on a Mortgage Note or an Assignment of Mortgage, the Depositor shall
make or cause such endorsement to be made.
With respect to any Mortgage Loan, none of the Depositor, the Servicer
or the Trustee shall be obligated to cause to be recorded the Assignment of
Mortgage referred to in this Section 2.01. In the event that any Assignment of
Mortgage is not recorded or is improperly recorded, the Servicer shall have no
liability for its failure to receive or act on notices related to such
Assignment of Mortgage.
The ownership of each Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the contents of
the related Mortgage File is vested in the Trustee. Neither the Depositor nor
the Servicer shall take any action inconsistent with such ownership and shall
not claim any ownership interest therein. The Depositor and the Servicer shall
respond to any third party inquiries with respect to ownership of the Mortgage
Loans by stating that such ownership is held by the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. Mortgage documents relating to the Mortgage Loans not
delivered to the Trustee are and shall be held in trust by the Servicer, for the
benefit of the Trustee as the owner thereof, and the Servicer's possession of
the contents of each Mortgage File so retained is for the sole purpose of
servicing the related Mortgage Loan, and such retention and possession by the
Servicer is in a custodial capacity only. The Depositor agrees to take no action
inconsistent with the Trustee's ownership of the Mortgage Loans, to promptly
indicate to all inquiring parties that the Mortgage Loans have been sold and to
claim no ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans.
It is the intention of this Agreement that the conveyance of the
Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Trust Fund pursuant to this
Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. If a conveyance
of Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Depositor is characterized as a pledge
and not a sale, then the Depositor shall be deemed to have transferred to the
Trustee all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under the
obligations of the Seller deemed to be secured by said pledge; and it is the
intention of this Agreement that the Depositor shall also be deemed to have
granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the
Depositor's right, title, and interest in, to and under the obligations of the
Seller to the Depositor deemed to be secured by said pledge and that the Trustee
shall be deemed to be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the
security interest granted to the Depositor. If the conveyance of the Mortgage
Loans from the Depositor to the Trustee is characterized as a pledge, it is the
intention of this Agreement that this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law, and that the Depositor shall be deemed to have
granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the
Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, all
payments of principal of or interest on such Mortgage Loans, all other rights
relating to and payments made in respect of the Trust Fund, and all proceeds of
any thereof. If the trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the
satisfaction of the claims of any Person in any Certificates, the security
interest created hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee
shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person.
In addition to the conveyance made in the first paragraph of this
Section 2.01, the Depositor does hereby convey, assign and set over to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders its rights and interests under
the Sale Agreement, including the Depositor's right, title and interest in the
representations and warranties contained in the Sale Agreement and the benefit
of the repurchase obligations and the obligation of the Seller contained in the
Sale Agreement to take, at the request of the Depositor or the Trustee, all
action on its part which is reasonably necessary to ensure the enforceability of
a Mortgage Loan. The Trustee hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be
entitled to exercise all rights of the Depositor under the Sale Agreement as if,
for such purpose, it were the Depositor. The foregoing sale,
50
transfer, assignment, set-over, deposit and conveyance does not and is not
intended to result in creation or assumption by the Trustee of any obligation of
the Depositor, the Seller, or any other Person in connection with the Mortgage
Loans or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto.
The parties hereto agree and understand that it is not intended that
any Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust that is, without limitation, a
"High-Cost Home Loan" as defined by the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act
of 1994 or any other applicable anti-predatory lending laws, including but not
limited to (i) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the New Jersey Home
Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003; (ii) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as
defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004;
(iii) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home
Loan Practices Act effective November 7, 2004 or (iv) a "High-Cost Home Loan" as
defined by the Indiana High Cost Home Loan Law effective January 1, 2005.
SECTION 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.
Except as set forth in the Exception Report delivered contemporaneously
herewith (the "Exception Report"), the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the
Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan and delivery of a Mortgage File (but does
not acknowledge receipt of all documents required to be included in such
Mortgage File) with respect to each Mortgage Loan and declares that it holds and
will hold such documents and any other documents constituting a part of the
Mortgage Files delivered to it in trust for the use and benefit of all present
and future Certificateholders. The Depositor will cause the Seller to repurchase
any Mortgage Loan to which a material exception was taken in the Exception
Report unless such exception is cured to the satisfaction of the Trustee within
45 Business Days of the Closing Date.
The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the three Cap Contracts (forms of
which are attached hereto as Exhibits O-1, O-2 and O-3), the Transfer Agreement
and the Sale Agreement.
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, to review
each Mortgage File delivered to it within 60 days after the Closing Date to
ascertain and to certify, within 70 days of the Closing Date, to the Depositor
and the Servicer that all documents required by Section 2.01, except those
listed on the exception report attached thereto, have been executed and
received, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in
Exhibit B that have been conveyed to it. If the Trustee finds any document or
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective
(that is, mutilated, damaged, defaced or unexecuted) in any material respect,
the Trustee shall promptly (and in any event within no more than five Business
Days) after such finding so notify the Servicer, the Seller and the Depositor.
In addition, the Trustee shall also notify the Servicer, the Seller and the
Depositor, if the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon with
respect to a Mortgage Loan is not received within 70 days of the Closing Date;
if it has not been received because of a delay caused by the public recording
office where such Mortgage has been delivered for recordation, the Depositor
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee written notice stating
that such Mortgage has been delivered to the appropriate public recording
officer for recordation and thereafter the Depositor shall deliver or cause to
be delivered such Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon upon receipt
thereof from the public recording office. The Trustee shall request that the
Seller correct or cure such omission, defect or other irregularity, or
substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03(c), within
90 days from the date the Seller was notified of such omission or defect and, if
the Seller does not correct or cure such omission or defect within such period,
that the Seller purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund within 90 days
from the date the Trustee notified the Seller of such omission, defect or other
irregularity at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan. The Purchase Price for
any Mortgage Loan purchased pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be paid to the
Servicer and deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account promptly upon
receipt, and, upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such
51
deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee, upon receipt of a Request
for Release, shall promptly release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and
the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary
to vest in the Seller or its designee, as the case may be, any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility
with regard to such Mortgage Loan. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Seller to purchase, cure or substitute any Mortgage Loan as to
which a material defect in or omission of a constituent document exists shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect or omission available to the
Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. The preceding sentence shall not,
however, limit any remedies available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor
or the Trustee pursuant to the Sale Agreement. The Trustee shall be under no
duty or obligation to inspect, review and examine such documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable,
recordable or appropriate to the represented purpose, or that they have actually
been recorded, or that they are other than what they purport to be on their
face. The Trustee shall keep confidential the name of each Mortgagor and the
Trustee shall not solicit any such Mortgagor for the purpose of refinancing the
related Mortgage Loan. It is understood and agreed that all rights and benefits
relating to the solicitation of any Mortgagors and the attendant rights, title
and interest in and to the list of Mortgagors and data relating to their
Mortgages shall be retained by the Servicer.
Within 70 days of the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the
Depositor and the Servicer the Trustee's Certification, substantially in the
form of Exhibit D attached hereto, evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage
Files, with any exceptions noted thereto.

Depositor's knowledge, threatened, against the Depositor that would
materially and adversely affect the execution, delivery or
enforceability of this Agreement and the Sale Agreement or the ability
of the Depositor to perform its obligations under this Agreement and
the Sale Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.
(v) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court
or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery
and performance by the Depositor of, or compliance by the Depositor
with, this Agreement and the Sale Agreement or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, or if any such consent, approval,
authorization or order is required, the Depositor has obtained the
same. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with
respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, and following the
transfer of the Mortgage Loans to it by the Seller, the Depositor had
good title to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to
no offsets, claims, liens, mortgage, pledge, charge, security interest,
defenses or counterclaims.
(vi) Each Mortgage Loan in Group One has a Stated Principal
Balance as of the Cut-off Date that complies with the loan
limitations of Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac as in effect on the
Cut-off Date.
(b) To the extent that any fact, condition or event with respect to a
Mortgage Loan constitutes a breach of a representation or warranty of the Seller
under the Sale Agreement, the only right or remedy of the Trustee or of any
Certificateholder shall be the Trustee's right to enforce the obligations of the
Seller under any applicable representation or warranty made by it. The Trustee
acknowledges that the Depositor shall have no obligation or liability with
respect to any breach of any representation or warranty with respect to the
Mortgage Loans (except as set forth in Section 2.03(a)(v)) under any
circumstances.
(c) Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Servicer, or the
Trustee of a breach of any of representations and warranties set forth in the
Sale Agreement that adversely and materially affects the value of the related
Mortgage Loan, prepayment charges or the interests of the Certificateholders,
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other
parties. Within 90 days of the discovery of a breach of any representation or
warranty given to the Trustee by the Depositor, the Seller and assigned to the
Trustee, the Depositor, or the Seller shall either (a) cure such breach in all
material respects, (b) repurchase such Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in
respect thereof from the Trustee at the Purchase Price or (c) within the two
year period following the Closing Date, substitute a Replacement Mortgage Loan
for the affected Mortgage Loan. In the event of discovery of a breach of any
representation and warranty of the Seller or the Depositor, the Trustee shall
enforce its rights under the Sale Agreement or thereunder for the benefit of
Certificateholders. In the event of a breach of the representations and
warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loans set forth in a Sale Agreement, the
Trustee shall enforce the right of the Trust Fund to be indemnified for such
breach of representation and warranty. In the event that such breach relates
solely to the unenforceability of a prepayment charge, amounts received in
respect of such indemnity up to the amount of such prepayment charge shall be
distributed pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i)(B). As provided in the Sale
Agreement, if the Seller substitutes
53
for a Mortgage Loan for which there is a breach of any representations and
warranties which adversely and materially affects the value of such Mortgage
Loan and such substitute mortgage loan is not a Replacement Mortgage Loan, under
the terms of the Sale Agreement, the Seller will, in exchange for such
substitute Mortgage Loan, (i) provide the applicable Purchase Price for the
affected Mortgage Loan or (ii) within two years of the Closing Date, substitute
such affected Mortgage Loan with a Replacement Mortgage Loan. Any such
substitution shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the
Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit I and
shall not be effected unless it is within two years of the Startup Day. As
provided in the Sale Agreement, the Seller indemnifies and holds the Trust Fund,
the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer and each Certificateholder harmless
against any and all taxes, claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees
and expenses that the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer and
any Certificateholder may sustain in connection with any actions of the Seller
relating to a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan other than in compliance with the
terms of this Section 2.03 and the Sale Agreement, to the extent that any such
action causes (i) any federal or state tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund or
any REMIC provided for herein, including without limitation, any federal tax
imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on
"contributions after the startup day" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or
(ii) any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Certificate is outstanding.
With respect to any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Depositor pursuant
to this Agreement or by the Seller pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the principal
portion of the funds received by the Servicer in respect of such repurchase of a
Mortgage Loan will be considered a Principal Prepayment and shall be deposited
by the Servicer in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05. The
Trustee, upon receipt of the full amount of the Purchase Price for a Deleted
Mortgage Loan, or upon receipt of the Mortgage File for a Replacement Mortgage
Loan substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, shall release or cause to be
released and reassign to the Depositor or the Seller, as applicable, the related
Mortgage File for the Deleted Mortgage Loan and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse,
representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in such party or its
designee or assignee title to any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto, free and clear of all security interests, liens and other encumbrances
created by this Agreement, which instruments shall be prepared by the Trustee,
and the Trustee shall not have any further responsibility with respect to the
Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan.
With respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan to be delivered to the
Trustee pursuant to the terms of this Article II in exchange for a Deleted
Mortgage Loan: (i) the Depositor or the Seller, as applicable, must deliver to
the Trustee the Mortgage File for the Replacement Mortgage Loan containing the
documents set forth in Section 2.01 along with a written certification
certifying as to the delivery of such Mortgage File and containing the granting
language set forth in the first sentence of Section 2.01; and (ii) the Depositor
will be deemed to have made, with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loan,
each of the representations and warranties made by it with respect to the
related Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall review the Mortgage File with
respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan and certify to the Depositor that all
documents required by Section 2.01 have been executed and received.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Replacement
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Seller will determine
the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such
Replacement Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution and the aggregate
prepayment charges with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loans is less than
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance (after application of the principal
portion of the Scheduled Payment due in the month of substitution) and aggregate
prepayment charges of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans. An amount equal to the
aggregate of the deficiencies described in the preceding sentence (such amount,
the "Substitution Adjustment Amount") shall be delivered by the Seller to the
Servicer for deposit into the Collection
54
Account on the Determination Date for the Distribution Date relating to the
Prepayment Period during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be
purchased or replaced hereunder.
The Seller 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 Replacement Mortgage
Loan or Replacement Mortgage Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended
Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution by the Seller,
such Replacement Mortgage Loan or Replacement Mortgage Loans shall constitute
part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of
this Agreement and the Sale Agreement, including all applicable representations
and warranties thereof included in the Sale Agreement as of the date of
substitution.
In addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that
such substitution will not (a) cause any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust
Fund or any REMIC provided for herein, including without limitation, any federal
tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or
on "contributions after the startup day" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code or
(b) adversely affect the status of any REMIC provided for herein as a REMIC. If
any such Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such substitution may
only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be given.
(d) It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties
and indemnification (i) set forth in this Section 2.03 and (ii) of the Seller
and the Depositor set forth in the Sale Agreement and assigned to the Trustee by
the Depositor hereunder shall each survive delivery of the Mortgage Files and
the Assignment of Mortgage of each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee and shall
continue throughout the term of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Servicer.
The Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor and the
Trustee as follows, as of the date hereof
(i) The Servicer is a duly formed corporation and is validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its
formation and is duly authorized and qualified to transact any and all
business contemplated by this Agreement to be conducted by the Servicer
in any state in which a Mortgaged Property is located or is otherwise
not required under applicable law to effect such qualification and, in
any event, is in compliance with the doing business laws of any such
state, to the extent necessary to ensure its ability to enforce each
Mortgage Loan, to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and to perform any of its other obligations
under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.
(ii) The Servicer has the power and authority to service each
Mortgage Loan, and to execute, deliver and perform, and to enter into
and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the
Servicer the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement; and
this Agreement, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery
hereof by the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Servicer, enforceable against the Servicer in
accordance with its terms, except that (a) the enforceability hereof
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and
other similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally and (b) the
remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of
55
equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the
discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be
brought.
(iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Servicer, the servicing of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement, the
consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms hereof
are in the ordinary course of business of the Servicer and will not (A)
result in a material breach of any term or provision of the charter or
by-laws of the Servicer or (B) materially conflict with, result in a
material breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a material
default under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument
to which the Servicer is a party or by which it may be bound, or (C)
constitute a material violation of any statute, order or regulation
applicable to the Servicer of any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the
Servicer; and the Servicer is not in breach or violation of any
material indenture or other material agreement or instrument, or in
violation of any statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory
body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction
over it which breach or violation may materially impair the Servicer's
ability to perform or meet any of its obligations under this Agreement.
(iv) The Servicer is an approved servicer of mortgage loans
for Xxxxxx Xxx and is an approved servicer of mortgage loans for
Xxxxxxx Mac.
(v) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Servicer's
knowledge, threatened, against the Servicer that would materially and
adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this
Agreement or the ability of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans
or to perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement in
accordance with the terms hereof.
(vi) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court
or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery
and performance by the Servicer of, or compliance by the Servicer with,
this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, or if any such consent, approval, authorization or order is
required, the Servicer has obtained the same.
(vii) The Servicer has fully furnished and will fully furnish
(for the period it serviced the Mortgage Loans), in accordance with the
Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate
and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its
borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit
Information Company on a monthly basis.
SECTION 2.05. Substitutions and Repurchases of Mortgage Loans Which
Are Not "Qualified Mortgages".
Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee that any
Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of
section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall promptly
(and in any event within 5 Business Days of discovery) give written notice
thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Depositor shall, at
the Depositor's option, either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section
2.03(c) with respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Replacement Mortgage Loan
for the affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan
within 90 days of such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan
for a breach of representation or warranty contained in Section 2.03. The
Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor the Mortgage Loan to be released
pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions,
56
as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or
warranty contained in Section 2.03.
SECTION 2.06. Authentication and Delivery of Certificates.
The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust
Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, the Trustee has caused
to be authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, in
exchange for the Mortgage Loans, Certificates duly authenticated by the Trustee
in authorized denominations evidencing ownership of the entire Trust Fund. The
Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the rights referred to above
for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates and to
perform its duties set forth in this Agreement in accordance with the provisions
hereof.
SECTION 2.07. REMIC Elections.
(a) The Depositor hereby instructs and authorizes the Trustee to make
an appropriate election to treat each of the Lower Tier REMIC and the Upper Tier
REMIC as a REMIC. The Trustee shall sign the returns providing for such
elections and such other tax or information returns which are required to be
signed by the Trustee under applicable law. This Agreement shall be construed so
as to carry out the intention of the parties that each of the Lower Tier REMIC
and the Upper Tier REMIC be treated as a REMIC at all times prior to the date on
which the Trust Fund is terminated.
(b) The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations and "latest
possible maturity date" for federal income tax purposes of all interests created
hereby. The "Startup Day," as defined in Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code, for
purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the Closing Date. Each REMIC's fiscal
year shall be the calendar year.
The Lower Tier REMIC shall consist of all of the assets of the Trust
Fund (other than (i) the right to receive the payments distributable to the
Class P Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) hereof, (ii) the interests
issued by the Lower Tier REMIC, (iii) the grantor trusts described in this
Section 2.07 and (iv) the Cap Contracts and the Cap Contract Account). The Lower
Tier REMIC shall issue the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests which shall be
designated as regular interests of such REMIC and shall issue the Class LTR
Interest that shall be designated as the sole class of residual interest in the
Lower Tier REMIC. Each of the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests shall have the
characteristics set forth in its definition.
The assets of the Upper Tier REMIC shall be the Lower Tier REMIC
Regular Interests. The REMIC Regular Interests shall be designated as the
regular interests in the Upper Tier REMIC and the Residual Interest shall be
designated as the sole class of residual interest in the Upper Tier REMIC. For
federal income tax purposes, (i) the pass-through rate on the REMIC Regular
Interests represented by the Class A-1A Certificates and on the sole class of
residual interest in the Upper Tier REMIC shall be subject to a cap equal to the
Class A-1 Available Funds Cap; (ii) the pass-through rate on the REMIC Regular
Interests represented by the Class A-2 Certificates shall be subject to a cap
equal to the Class A-2 Available Funds Cap; and (iii) the pass-through rate on
the REMIC Regular Interests represented by the Subordinated Certificates shall
be subject to a cap equal to the Subordinated Certificate Available Funds Cap.
The beneficial ownership of the Class LTR Interest and the Residual
Interest shall be represented by the Class R Certificate. The Class LTR Interest
shall not have a principal balance or bear interest.
57
(c) The "tax matters person" with respect to each REMIC for purposes of
the REMIC Provisions shall be the beneficial owner of the Class R Certificate;
provided, however, that the Holder of the Class R Certificate, by its acceptance
thereof, irrevocably appoints the Trustee as its agent and attorney-in-fact to
act as "tax matters person" with respect to each such REMIC for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions. If there is more than one beneficial owner of the Class R
Certificate, the "tax matters person" shall be the Person with the greatest
percentage interest in the Class R Certificate and, if there is more than one
such Person, shall be determined under Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-4(d)
and Treasury regulation Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1.
(d) It is intended that the rights of the Class A Certificates, Class R
Certificate, Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates to receive payments
in respect of Excess Interest shall be treated as a right in interest rate cap
contracts written by the Class C Certificateholders in favor of the holders of
the Class A Certificates, Class R Certificate, Class M Certificates and Class B
Certificates, and such shall be accounted for as property held separate and
apart from the regular interests in the Upper Tier REMIC held by the holders of
the Class A Certificates, Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates and the
residual interest in the Upper Tier REMIC held by the holder of the Class R
Certificate. This provision is intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860G-2(i) for the treatment of property rights coupled
with REMIC interests to be separately respected and shall be interpreted
consistently with such regulation. On each Distribution Date, to the extent that
any of the Class A Certificates, Class R Certificate, Class M Certificates and
Class B Certificates receive payments in respect of Excess Interest, such
amounts, to the extent not derived from payments on the Cap Contracts, will be
treated as distributed by the Upper Tier REMIC to the Class C Certificates pro
rata in payment of the amounts specified in Section 4.04(f) and then paid to the
relevant Class of Certificates pursuant to the related interest rate cap
agreement.
(e) The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of
the Uncertificated Class C Interest, the Cap Contract Account, the Cap Contracts
and the obligation of the holders of the Class C Certificates to pay amounts in
respect of Excess Interest to the holders of the Class A Certificates, Class R
Certificate, Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates shall be treated as a
"grantor trust" under the Code, for the benefit of the holders of the Class C
Certificates, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with
this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee shall (i) furnish
or cause to be furnished to the holders of the Class C Certificates information
regarding their allocable share, if any, of the income with respect to such
grantor trust, (ii) file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service
Form 1041 (together with any necessary attachments) and such other forms as may
be applicable and (iii) comply with such information reporting obligations with
respect to payments from such grantor trust to the holders of Class A
Certificates, Class R Certificate, Class M Certificates, Class B Certificates
and Class C Certificates as may be applicable under the Code.
(f) The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of
the right to receive the payments distributable to the Class P Certificates
pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) hereof shall be treated as a "grantor trust"
under the Code, for the benefit of the holders of the Class P Certificates, and
the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In
furtherance of such intention, the Trustee shall (i) furnish or cause to be
furnished to the holders of the Class P Certificates information regarding their
allocable share of the income with respect to such grantor trust and (ii) file
or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 (together with
any necessary attachments) and such other forms as may be applicable.
(g) [RESERVED].
(h) All payments of principal and interest at the Net Mortgage Rate on
each of the Mortgage Loans (other than payments distributable to the Class P
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) hereof)
58
received from the Mortgage Loans shall be paid to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular
Interests until the principal balance of all such interests have been reduced to
zero and any losses allocated to such interests have been reimbursed. Any excess
amounts shall be distributed to the Class LTR Interest. On each Distribution
Date, payments and losses shall be allocated among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular
Interests so that (i) each of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests shall have
a principal balance equal to 25% of the principal balance of the Corresponding
Certificates, (ii) the Class LTIX Interest has a principal balance equal to the
excess of (x) 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans over
(y) the aggregate principal balance of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests
(if necessary to reflect an increase in overcollateralization, accrued and
unpaid interest on the Class LTIX interest may be added to its principal amount
to achieve this result) and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Class
LTII1A Interest, Class LTII1B Interest, Class LTII2A Interest, Class LTII2B
Interest and Class LTIIX Interest shall equal 50% of the remaining principal
balance of the Mortgage Loans. Distributions and losses allocated to the Lower
Tier REMIC Regular Interests described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence
will be allocated among such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests in the following
manner: (x) such distributions shall be deemed made to such Lower Tier REMIC
Regular Interests first, so as to keep the principal balance of the each such
Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equal
to 0.05% of the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in
the related Mortgage Group; second, to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests
with "A" at the end of its designation so that the uncertificated principal
balance of each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest is equal to 0.05% of the
excess of (I) the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in
the related Mortgage Group over (II) the aggregate principal balance of
Certificate Group One, in the case of the Class LTII1A Interest, or Certificate
Group Two, in the case of the Class LTII2A Interest (except that if 0.05% of any
such excess is greater than the principal amount of the related Lower Tier REMIC
II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation, the least amount of
principal shall be distributed to each Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest with
"A" at the end of its designation such that the Lower Tier REMIC Subordinated
Balance Ratio is maintained) and finally, any remaining distributions of
principal to the Class LTIIX Interest and (y) such losses shall be allocated
among the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests described in clause (iii) of the
preceding sentence first, so as to keep the principal balance of the each such
Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equal
to 0.05% of the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in
the related Mortgage Group; second, to such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests
with "A" at the end of its designation so that the uncertificated principal
balance of each such Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interest is equal to 0.05% of the
excess of (I) the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in
the related Mortgage Group over (II) the aggregate principal balance of
Certificate Group One, in the case of the Class LTII1A Interest, or Certificate
Group Two, in the case of the Class LTII2A Interest (except that if 0.05% of any
such excess is greater than the principal amount of the related Lower Tier REMIC
II Marker Interest with "A" at the end of its designation, the least amount of
losses shall be allocated to each Lower REMIC II Marker Interest with "A" at the
end of its designation such that the Lower Tier REMIC Subordinated Balance Ratio
is maintained) and finally, any remaining losses to the Class LTIIX Interest.
Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, however, losses not allocated to
any Class of Certificates will not be allocated to any Lower Tier REMIC Regular
Interests. All computations with respect to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular
Interests shall be taken out to ten decimal places.
Any available funds remaining in the Lower Tier REMIC on a
Distribution Date after distributions to the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests
shall be distributed to the Class R Certificate in respect of the Class LTR
Interest.
If on any Distribution Date the Certificate Principal Balance
of any Class of Certificates is increased pursuant to the last sentence of the
definition of "Certificate Principal Balance", then there shall be an equivalent
increase in the principal amounts of the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests,
with such increase allocated (before the making of distributions and the
allocation of losses on the Lower Tier
59
REMIC Regular Interests on such Distribution Date) among the Lower Tier REMIC
Regular Interests so that, to the greatest extent possible, (i) each of the
Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests has a principal balance equal to 25% of the
principal balance of the Corresponding Certificates, (ii) the Class LTIX
Interest has a principal balance equal to the excess of (x) 50% of the remaining
principal balance of the Mortgage Loans over (y) the aggregate principal balance
of the Lower Tier REMIC I Marker Interests and (iii) the aggregate principal
amount of the Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interests and the Class LTIIX Interest
shall equal 50% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loans.
Allocations in connection with clause (iii) shall be made so that, to the
greatest extent possible, (a) the principal balance of each Lower Tier REMIC II
Marker Interest with "B" at the end of its designation equals 0.05% of the
aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in related Mortgage
Group, (b) the principal balance of each Lower Tier REMIC II Marker Interest
with "A" at the end of its designation equals 0.05% of the excess of (x) the
aggregate scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in related Mortgage
Group over (y) the aggregate principal balance of Certificate Group One in the
case of the Class LTII1A Interest, or Certificate Group Two in the case of the
Class LTII2A Interest and (c) any remaining allocations are made to the Class
LTIIX Interest.
For purposes of this Section 2.07, (i) the Class LTII1A
Interest and Class LTII1B Interest shall be related to Group One, and (ii) the
Class LTII2A Interest and Class LTII2B Interest shall be related to Group Two.
(i) In the event that any REMIC provided for herein fails to qualify as
a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as
a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC
Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and
obligations set forth herein, the Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and the
Trust Fund against any and all Losses resulting from such negligence; provided,
however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable
to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Holder of the
Class R Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from
misinformation provided by the Holder of the Class R Certificate on which the
Servicer has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the
rights and remedies of the Holder of the Class R Certificate now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no
event shall the Servicer have any liability (1) for any action or omission that
is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or
which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses
other than those arising out of a negligent performance by the Servicer of its
duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or
consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal
and interest on the Certificates).
(j) In the event that any REMIC provided for herein fails to qualify as
a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as
a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC
Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and
obligations set forth herein, the Trustee shall indemnify the Trust Fund against
any and all Losses resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or
inaction of the Servicer, the Depositor or the Holder of the Class R
Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from
misinformation provided by the Holder of the Class R Certificate on which the
Trustee has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the
rights and remedies of the Holder of the Class R Certificate now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no
event shall the Trustee have any liability (1) for any action or omission that
is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or
which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses
other than those arising out of a negligent performance by the Trustee of its
duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or
consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal
and interest on the Certificates).

(b) no written information, certificate of an officer, statement
furnished in writing or written report delivered to the Depositor or the Trustee
or any affiliate of the Depositor or the Trustee and prepared by the Servicer
pursuant to this Agreement will be inaccurate in any material respect, provided,
however, that the Servicer shall not be responsible for inaccurate information
provided to it by third parties.

this Agreement shall be limited in accordance with paragraph 35 of SFAS 140.

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01. Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.
For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Servicer shall service
and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Servicer
shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through subservicers as
provided in Section 3.02 hereof, to do or cause to be done any and all things
that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and
administration, including but not limited to, the power and authority, subject
to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other
instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged
Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only
in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance
Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds and (iv) subject to Section 3.12(a), to
effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged
Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that, subject to Section 6.03, the
Servicer shall not take any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the
interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan
serviced by it under this Agreement or the rights and interests of the other
parties to this Agreement except as otherwise required by this Agreement or by
law. The Servicer shall represent and protect the interest of the Trust Fund in
the same manner as it currently protects its own interest in mortgage loans in
its own portfolio in any claim,
61
proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan, but in any case not in any
manner that is a lesser standard than that provided in the first sentence of
this Section 3.01. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Servicer shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of
any term of any Mortgage Loan which would cause any of the REMICs provided for
herein to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any tax
under Section 860G(a) or 860G(d) of the Code. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and
the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the
Trustee, when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment,
to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to
the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The
Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such
documents requiring execution and delivery by any or all of them as are
necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and administer the
Mortgage Loans. If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Trustee shall
furnish the Servicer with a reasonable number of powers of attorney in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit J and execute such other documents delivered to it by
the Servicer that are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry
out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement. Upon receipt
of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents
and deliver them to the Servicer. The Trustee shall have no liability with
respect to any misuse of such power of attorney and shall be indemnified by the
Servicer for any costs, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Trustee in
connection therewith.
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the
Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the
purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on any first lien
Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance
from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and
further as provided in Section 3.08. To the extent that a Mortgage does not
provide for escrow payments, (i) the Servicer shall determine whether any such
payments are made by a first lien Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that is
necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the
foreclosure as a result of a tax lien and (ii) the Servicer shall ensure that
all insurance required to be maintained on a first lien Mortgaged Property
pursuant to this Agreement is maintained. If any such payment has not been made
and the Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage Loan
being imposed, the Servicer will, to the extent required to avoid loss of the
Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge
such lien on the Mortgaged Property subject to the Servicer's determination that
such advances will be recoverable. All costs incurred by the Servicer, if any,
in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of
calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the
Stated Principal Balance under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that
the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
The Servicer shall deliver a list of Servicing Officers and specimen
signatures to the Trustee by the Closing Date.
The Servicer shall deliver to the MI Insurer all reports required by
the MI Insurer that are reasonably available to the Servicer.
The Servicer will transmit full-file credit reporting data for each
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Xxxxxx Xxx Guide Announcement 97-02 and for each
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer agrees that it shall report one of the following
statuses each month as follows: current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.),
foreclosed or charged-off.
62
With respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer may consent to the
refinancing of the prior senior lien relating to such Mortgage Loan, provided
that the following requirements are met:
(a) the resulting Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage
Loan is no higher than the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio prior
to such refinancing; and
(b) the interest rate for the loan evidencing the refinanced
senior lien is no more than 2.0% higher than the interest rate
on the loan evidencing the existing senior lien immediately
prior to the date of such refinancing; and
(c) the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien is not subject
to negative amortization.
SECTION 3.02. Servicing and Subservicing; Enforcement of the
Obligations of Servicer.
(a) The Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan
by a subservicer, which may be an affiliate (each, a "subservicer"), pursuant to
a subservicing agreement (each, a "Subservicing Agreement"); provided, however,
that (i) such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related subservicing
agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner
consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder and (ii) that
such agreement would not result in a withdrawal or downgrading by any Rating
Agency of the ratings of any Certificates evidenced by a letter to that effect
delivered by each Rating Agency to the Depositor. Notwithstanding the provisions
of any subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating
to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a subservicer or
reference to actions taken through a subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer
shall remain obligated and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee and the
Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the subservicer and to the
same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone
were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. Every subservicing
agreement entered into by the Servicer shall contain a provision giving any
successor servicer the option to terminate such agreement in the event a
successor servicer is appointed. All actions of the each subservicer performed
pursuant to the related subservicing agreement shall be performed as an agent of
the Servicer with the same force and effect as if performed directly by the
Servicer. The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all subservicing
agreements.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to
have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the
Mortgage Loans that are received by a subservicer regardless of whether such
payments are remitted by the subservicer to the Servicer.
SECTION 3.03. Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of
the Servicer.
Neither the Trustee nor the Depositor shall have any responsibility or
liability for any action or failure to act by the Servicer, and neither of them
is obligated to supervise the performance of the Servicer hereunder or
otherwise.
SECTION 3.04. Trustee to Act as Servicer.
In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee or
its designee shall, within a period of time not to exceed ninety (90) days from
the date of notice of termination or resignation, thereupon assume all of the
rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder arising thereafter except that
the Trustee shall not be (i) liable
63
for losses of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof or any acts or
omissions of such predecessor Servicer hereunder, (ii) obligated to make
Advances or Servicing Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable
law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage
Loans hereunder, including pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 hereof, (iv)
responsible for any expenses of the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03 or (v)
deemed to have made any representations and warranties hereunder, including
pursuant to Section 2.04 or the first paragraph of Section 6.02 hereof;
provided, however that the Trustee (subject to clause (ii) above) or its
designee, in its capacity as the successor servicer, shall immediately assume
the terminated or resigning Servicer's obligation to make Advances and Servicing
Advances. No such termination shall affect any obligation of the Servicer to pay
amounts owed under this Agreement and to perform its duties under this Agreement
until its successor assumes all of its rights and obligations hereunder. If the
Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer (including by reason of
any Event of Default), the Trustee (or any other successor servicer) may, at its
option, succeed to any rights and obligations of the Servicer under any
subservicing agreement in accordance with the terms thereof; provided, however,
that the Trustee (or any other successor servicer) shall not incur any liability
or have any obligations in its capacity as servicer under a subservicing
agreement arising prior to the date of such succession unless it expressly
elects to assume such obligations of the Servicer thereunder; and the Servicer
shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the
subservicing agreement arising prior to the date of such succession. To the
extent any costs or expenses, including without limitation Servicing Transfer
Costs incurred by the Trustee in connection with this Section 3.04 are not paid
by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement within 30 days of the date of the
Trustee's invoice therefor, such amounts shall be payable out of the Certificate
Account; provided that the terminated Servicer shall reimburse the Trust Fund
for any such expense incurred by the Trust Fund upon receipt of a reasonably
detailed invoice evidencing such expenses. If the Trustee is unwilling or unable
to act as servicer, the Trustee shall seek to appoint a successor servicer that
is eligible in accordance with the criteria specified this Agreement.
The Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of
the Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating
to each subservicing agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and
otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of
the subservicing agreement to the assuming party.
In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Servicer hereunder (including by reason of any Event of Default),
notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, the Trustee and the Depositor
hereby agree that within 10 Business Days or delivery to the Trustee by the
Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter signed by the Servicer whereby the Servicer
shall resign as Servicer under this Agreement, the Servicing Rights Pledgee or
its designee shall be appointed as successor servicer (provided that at the time
of such appointment the Servicing Rights Pledgee or such designee meets the
requirements of a successor servicer set forth above) and the Servicing Rights
Pledgee agrees to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 3.05. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Collection
Account; Certificate Account.
(a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with
Accepted Servicing Practices to collect all payments called for under the terms
and provisions of the Mortgage Loans to the extent such procedures shall be
consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related
Required Insurance Policy. Consistent with the foregoing and subject to Section
3.01 hereof, 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
payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180 days;
provided, however, that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not
affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any
computation hereunder, except as provided below. In
64
the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, subject to
Section 4.01, the Servicer shall make any Advances on the related Mortgage Loan
during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such
Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default
or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the
Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also
waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications
that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or
interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept
payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal
Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the
postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications, variances,
forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively
referred to herein as "forbearance"), provided, however, that in no event shall
the Servicer grant any such forbearance (other than as permitted by the second
sentence of this Section) with respect to any one Mortgage Loan more than once
in any 12 month period or more than three times over the life of such Mortgage
Loan, and provided, further, that in determining which course of action
permitted by this sentence it shall pursue, the Servicer shall adhere to the
standards of Section 3.01. 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. In addition, with respect to
each MI Mortgage Loan that is subject to a modification, the Servicer shall
provide the MI Insurer with written notice of such modification, which shall
include the nature of such modification.
(b) The Servicer will not waive any prepayment charge or portion
thereof unless, (i) the enforceability thereof shall have been limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating
to creditors' rights generally or is otherwise prohibited by law, or (ii) the
collectability thereof shall have been limited due to acceleration in connection
with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or (iii) the prepayment of the
Mortgage Loan is made in connection with the voluntary sale of the related
Mortgaged Property, or (iv) in the Servicer's reasonable judgment as described
in Section 3.01 hereof, (x) such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably
foreseeable default, (y) such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds
taking into account the value of such prepayment charge and related Mortgage
Loan and (z) the collection of such prepayment charge or portion thereof, or of
a similar type of prepayment charge, would be considered "predatory" or
"illegal" pursuant to written guidance published by any applicable federal,
state or local regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such matters or has
been challenged by any such authority, or there is a certificated class action
in which a similar type of prepayment charge is being challenged, or (v) if
sufficient information is not made available to enable it to collect the
prepayment charge. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, in no event
will the Servicer waive a prepayment charge in connection with a refinancing of
a Mortgage Loan that is not related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable
default. If the Servicer waives or does not collect all or a portion of a
prepayment charge relating to a Principal Prepayment in full or in part due to
any action or omission of the Servicer, other than as provided above, the
Servicer shall deposit the amount of such prepayment charge (or such portion
thereof as had been waived for deposit) into the Collection Account for
distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) The Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in
litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage,
Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with
respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing
the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment
is required is prohibited by applicable law.
65
(d) The Servicer shall establish and initially maintain, on behalf of
the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Collection Account.
The Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account daily, within two
Business Days of receipt thereof, in immediately available funds, the following
payments and collections received or made by it on and after the Cut-Off Date
with respect to the Mortgage Loans:
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans, other than principal due on the
Mortgage Loans on or prior to the Cut-off Date;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans
net of the related Servicing Fee permitted under Section 3.15, other
than interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or prior to the Cut-off
Date;
(iii) all Liquidation Proceeds, other than proceeds to be
applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or
released to either the Mortgagor or the holder of a senior lien on
the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the Servicer's normal
servicing procedures;
(iv) all Subsequent Recoveries;
(v) all Compensating Interest;
(vi) any amount required to be deposited by the Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.05(g) in connection with any losses on Permitted
Investments;
(vii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof;
(viii) the Purchase Price and any Substitution Adjustment
Amount;
(ix) all Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section
4.01;
(x) all prepayment charges; and
(xi) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.
The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Servicer into the
Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, late payment charges,
insufficient funds charges and payments in the nature of assumption fees (i.e.
fees related to the assumption of a Mortgage Loan upon the purchase of the
related Mortgaged Property) and other similar ancillary fees (other than
prepayment charges) if collected, need not be remitted by the Servicer. In the
event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted and
not otherwise subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof, it may at
any time withdraw or direct the Trustee, or such other institution maintaining
the Collection Account, to withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any
provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Servicer shall maintain
adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section.
All funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be held in trust for the
Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08. In no event
shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Collection Account at
the direction of the Servicer.
(e) [RESERVED].
66
(f) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Certificate Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon
receipt, deposit or cause to be deposited in the Certificate Account and retain
therein the following:
(i) the aggregate amount withdrawn by the Servicer from the
Collection Account and required to be deposited in the Certificate
Account;
(ii) any amount required to be deposited by the Trustee
pursuant to Section 3.05(g) in connection with any losses on Permitted
Investments; and
(iii) the Auction Termination Amount or Clean Up Call Price
payable pursuant to Section 9.01.
Any amounts received by the Trustee prior to 2:00 p.m.
New York City
time (or such earlier deadline for investment in the Permitted Investments
designated by the Trustee) which are required to be deposited in the Certificate
Account by the Servicer shall be invested in Permitted Investments on the
Business Day on which they were received. The foregoing requirements for
remittance by the Servicer and deposit by the Servicer into the Certificate
Account shall be exclusive. In the event that the Servicer shall remit any
amount not required to be remitted and not otherwise subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof, it may at any time withdraw such amount from
the Certificate Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
All funds deposited in the Certificate Account shall be held by the Trustee in
trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this
Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08. In no event shall the
Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Certificate Account at the
direction of the Servicer.
(g) Each institution that maintains the Collection Account or the
Certificate Account shall invest the funds in each such account, as directed by
the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, in writing, in Permitted
Investments, which shall mature not later than (i) in the case of the Collection
Account the Business Day preceding the related Servicer Remittance Date (except
that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that
maintains such Collection Account or is otherwise immediately available, then
such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Servicer Remittance
Date) and (ii) in the case of the Certificate Account, the Business Day
immediately preceding the first Distribution Date that follows the date of such
investment (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the
institution that maintains such Certificate Account or a fund for which such
institution serves as custodian or is otherwise immediately available, then such
Permitted Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Date) and, in
each case, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such
Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Servicer or the Trustee,
as applicable, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All income and gain
net of any losses realized from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account
shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be
remitted to it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any losses incurred in
the Collection Account in respect of any such investments shall be deposited by
the Servicer in the Collection Account out of the Servicer's own funds
immediately as realized. All income and gain net of any losses realized from
amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account shall be for the benefit of the
Trustee and shall be remitted to or withdrawn by it monthly as provided herein.
The amount of any losses incurred in the Certificate Account in respect of any
such investments shall be deposited by the Trustee, in the Certificate Account
out of the Trustee's own funds immediately as realized.
SECTION 3.06. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Escrow Accounts.
To the extent required by a related first lien Mortgage Note, the
Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (each, an "Escrow
Account") and deposit and retain therein all collections
67
from the Mortgagors (or advances by the Servicer) for the payment of taxes,
assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the account of
the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the Servicer to compel a Mortgagor
to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law.
Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be
made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance
premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse
the Servicer out of related collections for any payments made pursuant to
Sections 3.01 hereof (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance
premiums) and 3.10 hereof (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any
Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages, to pay interest, if
required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to
Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the
Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section
9.01 hereof. The Escrow Accounts shall not be a part of the Trust Fund.
SECTION 3.07. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding
the Mortgage Loans.
Upon reasonable advance notice in writing if required by federal
regulation, the Servicer will provide to each Certificateholder that is a
savings and loan association, bank or insurance company certain reports and
reasonable access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
sufficient to permit such Certificateholder to comply with applicable
regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authorities with respect to
investment in the Certificates; provided, that the Servicer shall be entitled to
be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder for actual expenses incurred by the
Servicer in providing such reports and access.
The Servicer may from time to time provide the Depositor, and any
person designated by the Depositor, with reports and information regarding the
Mortgage Loans, including without limitation, information requested by the
Depositor or an originator of the Mortgage Loans for required institutional risk
control.
SECTION 3.08. Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection Account and
Certificate Account.
(a) The Servicer may from time to time, make withdrawals from the
Collection Account for the following purposes:
(i) to pay to the Servicer (to the extent not previously paid
to or withheld by the Servicer), as servicing compensation in
accordance with Section 3.15, that portion of any payment of interest
that equals the Servicing Fee for the period with respect to which such
interest payment was made, and, as additional servicing compensation,
those other amounts set forth in Section 3.15;
(ii) to reimburse the Servicer for Advances and Servicing
Advances (to the extent such Servicing Advances would constitute
"unanticipated expenses" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) if paid by one of the REMICs provided for
herein) occurring after the Cut-off Date made by it with respect to the
Mortgage Loans, such right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause
(ii) being limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage Loan(s)
(including, for this purpose, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds
or Liquidation Proceeds) that represent late recoveries of payments of
principal and/or interest on such particular Mortgage Loan(s) in
respect of which any such Advance was made;
68
(iii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Non-Recoverable
Advance previously made and, to the extent that such Non-Recoverable
Servicing Advances would constitute "unanticipated expenses" within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) if paid by
one of the REMICs provided for herein, any Non-Recoverable Servicing
Advance;
(iv) to pay to the Servicer earnings on or investment income
with respect to funds in or credited to the Collection Account;
(v) to reimburse the Servicer from Insurance Proceeds for
Insured Expenses covered by the related Insurance Policy;
(vi) to pay to the Servicer any unpaid Servicing Fees and to
reimburse it for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the Servicer's
right to reimbursement of Servicing Advances pursuant to this subclause
(vi) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to amounts

any Subsequent Recoveries related to any liquidated Mortgage Loan) that
represent late recoveries of the payments for which such advances were
made pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.06;
(vii) to pay to the Servicer any unpaid Servicing Fees for any
Mortgage Loan upon such Mortgage Loan being charged off and upon
termination of the obligations of the Servicer;
(viii) to pay to the Depositor or the Servicer, as applicable,
with respect to each Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect
thereof that has been purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03 or 3.12,
all amounts received thereon and not taken into account in determining
the related Stated Principal Balance of such repurchased Mortgage Loan;
(ix) to reimburse the Servicer or the Depositor for expenses
incurred by either of them in connection with the Mortgage Loans or the
Certificates and reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.25 or Section 6.03
hereof;
(x) to reimburse the Trustee for enforcement expenses
reasonably incurred in respect of a breach or defect giving rise to the
purchase obligation in Section 2.03 that were incurred in the Purchase
Price of the Mortgage Loans including any expenses arising out of the
enforcement of the purchase obligation; provided that any such expenses
will be reimbursable under this subclause (x) only if such expenses
would constitute "unanticipated expenses" within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) if paid by one of the
REMICs provided for herein;
(xi) to withdraw pursuant to Section 3.05 any amount deposited

termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof; and
(xiv) to reimburse itself for Advances or Servicing Advances
from amounts in the Collection Account held for future distributions
that were not included in Available Funds for the preceding
Distribution Date. An amount equal to the amount withdrawn from the
Collection Account pursuant to this subclause (xiv) shall be deposited
in the Collection Account by the
69
Servicer on the next succeeding Distribution Date that funds are to
be distributed to Certificateholders.
In addition, no later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Servicer
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall cause to be withdrawn from the Collection
Account the Interest Funds, the Principal Funds and the MI Insurer Fee, to the
extent on deposit, and such amount shall be deposited in the Certificate
Account.
The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage
Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from
the Collection Account.
The Servicer shall provide written notification to the Trustee on or
prior to the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date upon making any
withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to subclauses (iii) and (viii)
above.
In the event of any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Trustee for
deposit into the Certificate Account any amounts (including any P&I Advance)
required to be so remitted by the Servicer on the Servicer Remittance Date, the
Servicer shall pay to the Trustee, for its own account, interest on such amounts
at the "prime rate" (as specified in the
New York edition of the Wall Street
Journal) until such failure is remedied.
(b) The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Certificate Account for
distribution to the Certificateholders in the manner specified in this Agreement
(and to withhold from the amounts so withdrawn, the amount of any taxes that it
is authorized to retain pursuant to this Agreement). In addition, the Trustee
may from time to time make withdrawals from the Certificate Account for the
following purposes:
(i) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Certificate
Account and not required to be deposited therein;
(ii) to pay the Trustee any indemnification amounts owed it
and to clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon termination of
the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof (including paying all
amounts necessary to the Trustee or the Servicer in connection with any
such termination);
(iii) to reimburse the Trustee for expenses incurred by the
Trustee and reimbursable pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof;
(iv) to pay to the Trustee earnings on or investment income
with respect to funds in or credited to the Certificate Account; and
(v) to pay to the MI Insurer, the MI Insurer Fee.
SECTION 3.09. [RESERVED].
SECTION 3.10. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
The Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each first lien Mortgage
Loan, hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the
replacement value of the improvements that are part of such Mortgaged Property,
or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient
to prevent the related Mortgagor and/or mortgagee from
70
becoming a co-insurer or (iii) the amount required under applicable HUD/FHA
regulations. Each such policy of standard hazard insurance shall contain, or
have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause. The
Servicer shall also cause flood insurance to be maintained on property acquired
upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, to the
extent required under the standards described below. Pursuant to Section 3.05
hereof, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other
than the amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related
Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall
be deposited in the Collection Account. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in
maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly
distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to the Trustee for their
benefit, be added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding
that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs shall be recoverable
by the Servicer out of late payments by the related Mortgagor or out of
Liquidation Proceeds to the extent and as otherwise permitted by Section 3.08
hereof. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional
insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired
in respect of a Mortgage other than pursuant to such applicable laws and
regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance. If a first lien Mortgaged Property is located at the time
of origination of the Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood
hazard area and such area is participating in the national flood insurance
program, the Servicer shall cause flood insurance to be maintained with respect
to such Mortgage Loan. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the
lesser of (i) the original principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii)
the replacement value of the improvements that are part of such Mortgaged
Property, or (iii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the
related Mortgaged Property under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as
amended.
In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket
policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the
first sentence of this Section 3.10, it being understood and agreed that such
policy may contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to
those commercially available and maintained by comparable servicers. If such
policy contains a deductible clause, the Servicer shall, in the event that there
shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy
complying with the first sentence of this Section 3.10, and there shall have
been a loss that would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the
Collection Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy
because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer
of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the
Depositor and the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, claims
under any such blanket policy.
SECTION 3.11. Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.11(a), when any
property subject to a Mortgage has been or is about to be conveyed by the
Mortgagor, the Servicer shall to the extent that it has knowledge of such
conveyance or prospective conveyance, enforce any due-on-sale clause contained
in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, but only to the extent that such enforcement
will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance
Policy; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such right
if the due-on-sale clause, in the reasonable belief of the Servicer, is not
enforceable under applicable law. An opinion of counsel, which shall be
reimbursable as a Servicing Advance to the extent provided in Section
3.08(a)(ii) hereof, delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor to the foregoing
shall conclusively establish the reasonableness of such belief, but which shall
not be required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer is not required to
exercise such rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan if the Person to whom the
related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed
satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Note and Mortgage
related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage Note or
Mortgage is not otherwise
71
so required under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage as a condition to such
transfer. In the event that the Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any
such due-on-sale clause, or if coverage under any Required Insurance Policy
would be adversely affected, or if nonenforcement is otherwise permitted
hereunder, the Servicer is authorized, subject to Section 3.11(b), to take or
enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the Person to
whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such
Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by
applicable law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon, provided that the Mortgage
Loan shall continue to be covered (if so covered before the Servicer enters such
agreement) by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Servicer, subject
to Section 3.11(b), is also authorized with the prior approval of the insurers
under any Required Insurance Policies to enter into a substitution of liability
agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released
from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable
under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not
be deemed to be in default under this Section 3.11(a) by reason of any transfer
or assumption that the Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from
preventing.
(b) Subject to the Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to
the extent set forth in Section 3.11(a) hereof, in any case in which a Mortgaged
Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to
enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to
the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if
an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the
Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall prepare and
deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and
shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with
the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such
modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other
instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws
regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person.
In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note
(including, but not limited to, the Mortgage Rate, the amount of the Scheduled
Payment, the Maximum Rate, the Minimum Rate, the Gross Margin, the Periodic Rate
Cap, the Adjustment Date, any prepayment charge and any other term affecting the
amount or timing of payment on the Mortgage Loan) may be changed. The Servicer
shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has
been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original of such substitution or
assumption agreement, which in the case of the original shall be added to the
related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such
Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering into
an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the
Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
SECTION 3.12. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Determination
of Excess Proceeds.
(a) The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the
servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01 to foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage
Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of Delinquent payments. In connection
with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow such
practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be
normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and the
requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided,
however, that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in
connection with the restoration of any property that shall have suffered damage
due to an uninsured cause unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration
will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after
reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be
recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it
72
shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof). The Servicer shall be responsible for all
other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided,
however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the proceeds of
liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 3.08
hereof. If the Servicer has knowledge that a Mortgaged Property that the
Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure is located within a one-mile radius of any site with environmental
or hazardous waste risks known to the Servicer, the Servicer will, prior to
acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider such risks and only take action in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.
With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall
be taken in the name of the Trustee or its nominee. Pursuant to its efforts to
sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent
selected by the Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same
manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO
Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the
interests of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the
Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Servicer and the
Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The
Servicer or an affiliate may receive usual and customary real estate referral
fees for real estate brokers in connection with the listing and disposition of
REO Property. The Servicer shall prepare a statement with respect to each REO
Property that has been rented showing the aggregate rental income received and
all expenses incurred in connection with the management and maintenance of such
REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the Servicer to comply with
the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental
income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the Collection
Account no later than the close of business on each Determination Date. The
Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and withholding related to
foreclosures, abandonments and cancellation of indebtedness income as specified
by Sections 1445, 6050J and 6050P of the Code by preparing and filing such tax
and information returns, as may be required.
In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to
the expiration of three years from the end of the year of its acquisition by the
Trust Fund or, at the expense of the Trust Fund, obtain more than 60 days prior
to the day on which such three-year period would otherwise expire, an extension
of the three-year grace period unless the Trustee shall have been supplied with
an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (such Opinion of Counsel not to
be an expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund
of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result
in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust Fund or any
of the REMICs provided for herein as defined in section 860F of the Code or
cause any of the REMICs provided for herein to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may
continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in
such Opinion of Counsel). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be held, rented (or
allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income
by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that
would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure
property" within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject
the Trust Fund or any REMIC provided for herein to the imposition of any
federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged
Property under section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Servicer or
the Depositor has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with
respect to the imposition of any such taxes. The Servicer shall have no
liability for any losses resulting from a foreclosure on a second lien Mortgage
Loan in connection with the foreclosure of the related first lien mortgage loan
that is not a Mortgage Loan if the Servicer does not receive notice of such
foreclosure action.
73
The decision of the Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan
shall be subject to a determination by the Servicer that the proceeds of such
foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding.
The income earned from the management of any Mortgaged Properties acquired
through foreclosure or other judicial proceeding, net of reimbursement to the
Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or other taxes) in
connection with such management and net of unreimbursed Servicing Fees,
Advances, Servicing Advances and any management fee paid or to be paid with
respect to the management of such Mortgaged Property, shall be applied to the
payment of principal of, and interest on, the related defaulted Mortgage Loans
(with interest accruing as though such Mortgage Loans were still current) and
all such income shall be deemed, for all purposes in this Agreement, to be
payments on account of principal and interest on the related Mortgage Notes and
shall be deposited into the Collection Account. To the extent the income
received during a Prepayment Period is in excess of the amount attributable to
amortizing principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the
related Mortgage Loan, such excess shall be considered to be a partial Principal
Prepayment for all purposes hereof.
The Liquidation Proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, net
of any payment to the Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the
Collection Account on the next succeeding Determination Date following receipt
thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date.
The proceeds of any Liquidated Loan, as well as any recovery resulting
from a partial collection of Liquidation Proceeds, will be applied as between
the parties in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer
for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees,
pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(vi) or this Section 3.12; second, to reimburse the
Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances, pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(ii) or this
Section 3.12; third, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance
has been made for such amount) on the Mortgage Loan, at the Net Mortgage Rate to
the Due Date occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be
distributed; fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan; and fifth,
to any Prepayment Charges.
The proceeds of any net income from an REO Property will be applied as
between the parties in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the
Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing
Fees, pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(vi) or this Section 3.12; second, to reimburse
the Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances, pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(ii) or
this Section 3.12; third, as a recovery of principal; and fourth, to accrued and
unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount) on the
related REO Property, at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate to the Due Date
occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed.
(b) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine the
respective aggregate amounts of Excess Proceeds, if any, that occurred in the
related Prepayment Period.
(c) The Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to elect
(by written notice in the form of an Officer's Certificate sent to the Trustee,
which Officer's Certificate shall (i) set forth the affected Mortgage Loan or
REO Property and the Purchase Price, (ii) certify that the Purchase Price has
been deposited into the Collection Account and (iii) confirm that the purchase
complies in all respect with this Section 3.12(c)) to purchase for its own
account from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan that is 91 days or more Delinquent
or REO Property for which the Servicer has accepted a deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any
Mortgage Loan or REO Property purchased hereunder shall thereafter be delivered
to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account and the Trustee, upon
receipt of such deposit and a Request for Release from the Depositor in the form
of Exhibit I hereto, shall release or cause to be released to the Servicer the
related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer
or assignment prepared by the Servicer, in each
74
case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest
in the Servicer any Mortgage Loan or REO Property released pursuant hereto and
the Servicer shall succeed to all the Trustee's right, title and interest in and
to such Mortgage Loan and all security and documents related thereto. Such
assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The Servicer
shall thereupon own such Mortgage Loan or REO Property, and all security and
documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the
Certificateholders with respect thereto. The Servicer shall not use any
procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be repurchased that is materially
adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders.
In the event that the Servicer is acting as the servicer and the
Servicer (or an affiliate of the Servicer) is the owner of more than 50% of the
Class of Certificates which is then currently in a first loss position and such
party is deemed to be the "Primary Beneficiary" as defined in FIN 46R, the
provisions of the preceding paragraph shall not apply and the Servicer (or an
affiliate of the Servicer), in its sole discretion, shall have the right to
elect (by written notice in the form of an Officer's Certificate sent to the
Trustee, which Officer's Certificate shall (i) set forth the affected Mortgage
Loan or REO Property and the Purchase Price, (ii) certify that the Purchase
Price has been deposited into the Collection Account and (iii) confirm that the
purchase complies in all respect with this Section 3.12(c)) to purchase for its
own account from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan that is 120 days or more
Delinquent or REO Property for which the Servicer has accepted a deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure, during the period commencing on the first day of the calendar
quarter succeeding the calendar quarter in which the Initial Delinquency Date
(as defined below) occurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan and ending on the
last Business Day of such calendar quarter. If the Servicer (or an affiliate of
the Servicer) does not exercise its purchase right with respect to a Mortgage
Loan during the period specified in the preceding sentence, such Mortgage Loan
shall thereafter again become eligible for purchase pursuant to the preceding
sentence only after the Mortgage Loan ceases to be 120 days or more Delinquent
and thereafter becomes 120 days Delinquent again. The "Initial Delinquency Date"
of a Mortgage Loan shall mean the date on which the Mortgage Loan first became
120 days Delinquent. Prior to repurchase pursuant to this Section 3.12(c), the
Servicer shall be required to continue to make monthly advances pursuant to
Section 4.01. The Servicer shall not use any procedure in selecting Mortgage
Loans to be repurchased which is materially adverse to the interests of the
Certificateholders. The Servicer shall purchase any Mortgage Loan or REO
Property pursuant to this paragraph at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The
Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan or REO Property purchased hereunder shall
be delivered to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account and the
Trustee, upon receipt of such deposit and a Request for Release from the
Depositor in the form of Exhibit I hereto, shall release or cause to be released
to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Servicer, in each case
without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in
the Servicer any Mortgage Loan or REO Property released pursuant hereto and the
Servicer shall succeed to all the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to
such Mortgage Loan and all security and documents related thereto. The
provisions in this paragraph shall only apply if Wilshire Credit Corporation is
the servicer.
SECTION 3.13. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes, the Servicer will promptly notify the Trustee or
its designee by delivering a Request for Release substantially in the form of
Exhibit I. Upon receipt of such request, the Trustee or its designee shall
promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the Trustee or
its designee shall at the Servicer's written direction execute and deliver to
the Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or
satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage
in each case provided by the Servicer, together with the Mortgage Note with
written evidence of cancellation thereon. No expenses incurred in connection
with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be
75
chargeable to the Collection Account, the Certificate Account or the related
subservicing account. From time to time and as shall be appropriate for the
servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose,
collection under any policy of flood insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or
omissions policy, or for the purposes of effecting a partial release of any
Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the making of any
corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the other documents
included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee or its designee shall, upon delivery
to the Trustee or its designee of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit I
signed by a Servicing Officer, release the Mortgage File to the Servicer.
Subject to the further limitations set forth below, the Servicer shall cause the
Mortgage File or documents so released to be returned to the Trustee or its
designee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the
Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the
Collection Account.
Each Request for Release may be delivered to the Trustee or its
designee (i) via mail or courier, (ii) via facsimile or (iii) by such other
means, including, without limitation, electronic or computer readable medium, as
the Servicer and the Trustee or its designee shall mutually agree. The Trustee
or its designee shall promptly release the related Mortgage File(s) within five
(5) Business Days of receipt of a properly completed Request for Release
pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above. Receipt of a properly completed
Request for Release shall be authorization to the Trustee or its designee to
release such Mortgage Files, provided the Trustee or its designee has determined
that such Request for Release has been executed, with respect to clauses (i) or
(ii) above, or approved, with respect to clause (iii) above, by an authorized
Servicing Officer of the Servicer, and so long as the Trustee or its designee
complies with its duties and obligations under the agreement. If the Trustee or
its designee is unable to release the Mortgage Files within the period
previously specified, the Trustee or its designee shall immediately notify the
Servicer indicating the reason for such delay. If the Servicer is required to
pay penalties or damages due to the Trustee or its designee's negligent failure
to release the related Mortgage File or the Trustee or its designee's negligent
failure to execute and release documents in a timely manner, the Trustee or its
designee, shall be liable for such penalties or damages directly caused by it
and shall have no liability for penalties or damages attributable to the
Servicer's actions or inactions.
If the Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure proceeding
in respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this Agreement, the
Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or its designee,
for signature, as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale
or other documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action
brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or
rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at
law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall cause
possession of any Mortgage File or of the documents therein that shall have been
released by the Trustee or its designee to be returned to the Trustee promptly
after possession thereof shall have been released by the Trustee or its designee
unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds
relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account, and
the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee or its designee a Request for
Release in the form of Exhibit I or (ii) the Mortgage File or document shall
have been delivered to an attorney or to a public trustee or other public
official as required by law for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action
or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property and the
Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee or its designee an Officer's
Certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the
Person to which the Mortgage File or the documents therein were delivered and
the purpose or purposes of such delivery.
76
SECTION 3.14. Documents Records and Funds in Possession of Servicer to
be Held for the Trustee.
All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control
of, the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection
of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including but
not limited to, any funds on deposit in the Collection Account, shall be held by
the Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole
and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of
this Agreement. The Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or
subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Collection
Account or Certificate Account or in any Escrow Account, or any funds that
otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ
of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or otherwise any
claim or right of set off against any Mortgage File or any funds collected on,
or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Servicer shall
be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that
are properly due and payable to the Servicer under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.15. Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be
entitled to retain or withdraw from the Collection Account out of each payment
of interest on a Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund an amount equal to
interest at the applicable Servicing Fee Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of
the related Mortgage Loan as of the immediately preceding Distribution Date.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of any Excess Proceeds,
Prepayment Interest Excess, late payment fees, assumption fees (i.e. fees
related to the assumption of a Mortgage Loan upon the purchase of the related
Mortgaged Property) and similar fees payable by the Mortgagor, and all income
and gain net of any losses realized from Permitted Investments in the Collection
Account shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be
deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 or 3.12(a) hereof.
The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection
with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of any premiums for
hazard insurance, as required by Section 3.10 hereof and maintenance of the
other forms of insurance coverage required by Section 3.10 hereof) and shall not
be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in
Sections 3.08 and 3.12 hereof.
SECTION 3.16. Access to Certain Documentation.
The Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to comparable
regulatory authorities supervising Holders of the Certificates and the examiners
and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and such other authorities, access
to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable
regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such access shall be afforded without
charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request and during normal
business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it provided, that
the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder
for actual expenses incurred by the Servicer in providing such reports and
access. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to
observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the
Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this
Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this
Section.
SECTION 3.17. Annual Statement as to Compliance.
Pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor
and the Trustee on or before March 15 beginning in 2006 or such other date that
the Depositor gives the Servicer at least 30
77
days prior notice of in order to remain in compliance with the Section 302
Requirements, an Officer's 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
officer's 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
officers and the nature and status thereof. The Trustee shall forward a copy of
each such statement received by it to each Rating Agency. Copies of such
statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon written
request at the Certificateholder's expense, provided such statement has been
delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.18. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Statement; Financial Statements.
On or before March 15 of each year, beginning in 2006 or such other
date in order to remain in compliance with the Section 302 Requirements, the
Servicer at its expense shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer or any
Affiliate thereof) that is a member of the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants to furnish a USAP Report to the Trustee, and the Depositor.
Copies of the USAP Report shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder upon request at the Certificateholder's expense, provided such
report has been delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.19. [RESERVED].
SECTION 3.20. Periodic Filings.
(a) Promptly upon receipt of (i) any report of the independent public
accountants required pursuant to Section 3.18, and (ii) the Officer's
Certificate delivered by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.17 relating to the
Servicer's performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Trustee
shall include such report and such certificate as part of the Form 10-K required
to be filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(b) The Trustee shall prepare for filing, and execute (other than the
Form 10-Ks and the Certification), on behalf of the Trust Fund, and file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, (i) within 15 days after each
Distribution Date in each month, each Monthly Statement on Form 8-K under the
Exchange Act executed by the Trustee, (ii) on or before March 31 of each year
beginning in 2006 or such other date in order to remain in compliance with the
Section 302 Requirements, a Form 10-K under the Exchange Act executed by the
Depositor, including any certification (the "Certification") required by the
Section 302 Requirements, and (iii) any and all reports, statements and
information respecting the Trust Fund and/or the Certificates required to be
filed on behalf of the Trust Fund under the Exchange Act executed by the
Trustee. The Certification shall be executed by a senior officer of the
Depositor. Upon such filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any such executed
report, statement or information. Prior to making any such filings and
certifications, the Trustee shall comply with the provisions set forth in this
Section. If permitted by applicable law and unless the Depositor otherwise
directs, the Trustee shall file a Form 15 under the Exchange Act on or before
January 30, 2006 or as soon as it is able to do so pursuant to applicable law.
The Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of attorney to
execute (other than the Form 10-Ks and the Certification) and file each such
document on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until
either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written
termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust
Fund. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Trustee, from time to time
upon request, such further information, reports, and
78
financial statements within its control related to this Agreement and the
Mortgage Loans as the Trustee reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file
all necessary reports with the Commission. The Trustee shall have no
responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this section.
(c) [RESERVED].
(d) The obligations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this
Section shall only apply with respect to periods for which the Trustee is
obligated to file Form 8-Ks and 10-Ks pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.
In the event a Form 15 is properly filed pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section, there shall be no further obligations under paragraphs (a) through (c)
of this Section commencing with the fiscal year in which the Form 15 is filed
(other than the obligations in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section to be
performed in such fiscal year that relate back to the prior fiscal year).
SECTION 3.21. Annual Certificate by Trustee.
(a) Within 15 days prior to the date on which a Form 10-K is to be
filed with a Certification by the Depositor, an officer of the Trustee shall
execute and deliver an Officer's Certificate, signed by a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee or any officer to whom that officer reports, to the Depositor for
the benefit of such Depositor and its officers, directors and affiliates,
certifying as to the matters described in the Officer's Certificate attached
hereto as Exhibit K.
(b) The Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its
officers, directors, agents and affiliates from and against any losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs,
judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach by
the Trustee or any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its
obligations under this Section 3.21 any material misstatement or omission in the
Officer's Certificate required under this Section or the negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct of the Trustee in connection therewith. If the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless the Depositor, then the Trustee agrees that it shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities of the Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the Trustee on the one had and the Depositor on
the other in connection with a breach of the Trustee's obligations under this
Section 3.21, any material misstatement or omission in the Officer's Certificate
required under this Section or the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct in connection therewith.
SECTION 3.22. Annual Certificate by Servicer.
(a) By February 28 beginning in 2006 or such other date specified in a
written notice within 15 days prior to the date on which a Form 8-K is required
to be filed with a Certification by the Depositor, the Servicer shall execute
and deliver an Officer's Certificate in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto,
signed by the senior officer in charge of servicing of the Servicer or any
officer to whom that officer reports, to the Trustee and the Depositor for the
benefit of the Trustee and the Depositor and their respective officers,
directors and affiliates, certifying as to the following matters:
(i) The Servicer has reviewed the information required to be
delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing
Agreement (the "Servicing Information").
(ii) Based on the Servicer's knowledge, the information in the
Annual Statement of Compliance and the Servicing Information does not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary to make any such reports, certificates or other
79
information, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
were made, not misleading as of the last day of the period covered by
the Annual Statement of Compliance;
(iii) Based on the Servicer's knowledge, the Servicing
Information required to be provided to the Trustee by the Servicer
under this Agreement has been provided to the Trustee; and
(iv) Based upon the review required under this Agreement, and
except as disclosed in the Annual Statement of Compliance, the Annual
Independent Certified Public Accountant's Servicing Report and all
servicing reports, officer's certificates and other information
relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans submitted to the
Trustee by the Servicer, the Servicer has, as of the last day of the
period covered by the Annual Statement of Compliance fulfilled its
obligations under this Agreement.
(b) The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and
their respective officers, directors, agents and affiliates from and against (i)
any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and
related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based
upon a breach by the Servicer or any of its officers, directors, agents or
affiliates of its obligations under this Section 3.22, (ii) any allegation that
the Officer's Certificate required under this Section contains a misstatement of
a material fact or omits or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
were made, not misleading or (iii) the negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of the Servicer in connection therewith. If the indemnification
provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the
Depositor, then the Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by the Trustee and the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities of the Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Servicer on
the other in connection with a breach of the Servicer's obligations under this
Section 3.22, any alleged material misstatement or omission in the Officer's
Certificate required under this Section or the Servicer's negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
SECTION 3.23. Prepayment Charge Reporting Requirements.
(a) Promptly after each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall provide
to the Depositor the following information with regard to each Mortgage Loan
that has prepaid during the related Prepayment Period:
(i) loan number;

(iv) original principal balance;
(v) prepayment charge amount due;
(vi) prepayment charge amount collected; and
(vii) reason why full prepayment charge amount was not collected, if
applicable.
80
SECTION 3.24. Statements to Trustee. Not later than the Servicer
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee an electronic file
providing loan level accounting data for the period ending on the last Business
Day of the preceding month in the format mutually agreed upon between the
Servicer and the Trustee, including but not limited to information described in
Section 4.05(a).
SECTION 3.25. Indemnification.
The Servicer shall indemnify the Seller, the Trust Fund, Trustee and
the Depositor and hold each of them harmless against any and all claims, losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and
related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of
such parties 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 by reason of breach of representations of the Servicer or
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence, or by reason of reckless disregard
of obligations and duties hereunder. The Servicer promptly shall notify the
Seller, the Trustee and the Depositor or any other relevant party if a claim is
made by a third party with respect to such party and this Agreement or the
Mortgage Loans and, if subject to this indemnification obligation, assume (with
the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) the defense of any such claim and pay all
expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay,
discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or
any of such parties in respect of such claim. The Servicer shall provide the
Trustee and the Depositor with a written report of all expenses and advances
incurred by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.25, and the Servicer from
the assets of the Trust Fund in the Collection Account promptly shall reimburse
itself for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the second sentence of this
Section 3.25 except when the claim in any way relates to the gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer. The provisions of this
paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
outstanding Certificates.
SECTION 3.26. Nonsolicitation.
For as long as the Servicer services the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer
covenants that it will not, and that it will ensure that its affiliates and
agents, will not, directly solicit or provide information for any other party to
solicit for prepayment or refinancing of any of the Mortgage Loans by the
related Mortgagors. It is understood that the promotions undertaken by the
Servicer which are directed to the general public at large, or certain segments
thereof, shall not constitute solicitation as that term is used in this Section
3.26.
SECTION 3.27. Existing Servicing Agreement.
The Servicer acknowledges the transfer on the Closing Date of the
servicing of the Mortgage Loans from the Existing Servicing Agreement to this
Agreement pursuant to the Existing Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 3.28. High Cost Mortgage Loans.
In the event that the Servicer reasonably determines that a Mortgage
Loan may be a "high cost mortgage loan," "high cost home," "covered," "high
cost," "high risk home," "predatory," or similarly classified loan under any
applicable state, federal or local law, the Servicer may notify the Depositor
and the Trustee, and if the Servicer so notifies such parties, the Servicer may
cease its initiation of collection efforts thereon; and such determination shall
be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the
Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan and the Seller will repurchase the
Mortgage Loan within a 90 day period from the date of the notice in the manner
described in Section 2.05.
81
SECTION 3.29. MI Policy Claims Under the MI Policy.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement,
the Servicer shall not agree to any modification or assumption of a MI Mortgage
Loan or take any other action with respect to an MI Mortgage Loan that could
result in denial of coverage under the MI Policy. The Servicer shall notify the
MI Insurer that the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, is the
"Insured," as that term is defined in the MI Policy, of each MI Mortgage Loan
insured by the MI Insurer; provided, that such designation is made solely for
the purpose of entitling the Trust Fund to receive payments for claims under the
MI Policy and the Trustee shall not, except as provided herein, be deemed to
assume the obligations of the "Insured" thereunder. The Servicer shall, on
behalf of the Trustee, prepare and file on a timely basis with the MI Insurer,
all claims that may be made under the MI Policy with respect to the MI Mortgage
Loans. Consistent with all rights and obligations hereunder, the Servicer shall
take all actions required under the MI Policy as a condition to the payment of
any such claim. Any amount received from the MI Insurer with respect to any MI
Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Servicer, no later than two Business
Days following receipt thereof, into the Collection Account. The Servicer shall
notify the Trustee of the amount of any claims made and rejected under the MI
Policy reporting separately with respect to principal and interest.
ARTICLE IV
DISTRIBUTIONS
SECTION 4.01. Advances.
Subject to the conditions of this Article IV, the Servicer, as required
below, shall make an Advance and deposit such Advance in the Collection Account.
Each such Advance shall be remitted to the Collection Account no later than 2:00
p.m.
New York City time on the Servicer Advance Date in immediately available
funds. The Servicer shall be obligated to make any such Advance only to the
extent that such advance would not be a Non-Recoverable Advance. If the Servicer
shall have determined that it has made a Non-Recoverable Advance or that a
proposed Advance or a lesser portion of such Advance would constitute a
Non-Recoverable Advance, the Servicer shall deliver (i) to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders funds constituting the remaining portion of
such Advance, if applicable, and (ii) to the Depositor, each Rating Agency and
the Trustee an Officer's Certificate setting forth the basis for such
determination. The Servicer may, in its sole discretion, make an Advance with
respect to the principal portion of the final Scheduled Payment on a Balloon
Loan, but the Servicer is under no obligation to do so; provided, however, that
nothing in this sentence shall affect the Servicer's obligation under this
Section 4.01 to Advance the interest portion of the final Scheduled Payment with
respect to a Balloon Loan as if such Balloon Loan were a fully amortizing
Mortgage Loan. If a Mortgagor does not pay its final Scheduled Payment on a
Balloon Loan for a first lien Mortgage when due, the Servicer shall Advance
(unless it determines in its good faith judgment that such amounts would
constitute a Non Recoverable Advance) a full month of interest (net of the
Servicing Fee) on the Stated Principal Balance thereof each month until its
Stated Principal Balance is reduced to zero.
In lieu of making all or a portion of such Advance from its own funds,
the Servicer may (i) cause to be made an appropriate entry in its records
relating to the Collection Account that any amount held for future distribution
has been used by the Servicer in discharge of its obligation to make any such
Advance and (ii) transfer such funds from the Collection Account to the
Certificate Account. In addition, the Servicer shall have the right to reimburse
itself for any such Advance from amounts held from time to time in the
Collection Account to the extent such amounts are not then required to be
distributed. Any funds so applied and transferred pursuant to the previous two
sentences shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account
no later than the close of business on the Servicer Advance Date on which such
funds are required to be distributed pursuant to this Agreement. The Servicer
shall be entitled
82
to be reimbursed from the Collection Account for all Advances of its own funds
made pursuant to this Section as provided in Section 3.08. The obligation to
make Advances with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall continue until such
Mortgage Loan is paid in full or the related Mortgaged Property or related REO
Property has been liquidated or until the purchase or repurchase thereof (or
substitution therefor) from the Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision
of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.01.
SECTION 4.02. Reduction of Servicing Compensation in Connection with
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.
In the event that any Mortgage Loan is the subject of a Prepayment
Interest Shortfall, the Servicer shall, from amounts in respect of the Servicing
Fee for such Distribution Date, deposit into the Collection Account, as a
reduction of the Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date, no later than the
Servicer Advance Date immediately preceding such Distribution Date, an amount up
to the Prepayment Interest Shortfall; provided that the amount so deposited with
respect to any Distribution Date shall be limited to the product of (x)
one-twelfth of 0.25% per annum and (y) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans. In case of such deposit, the Servicer shall not be entitled
to any recovery or reimbursement from the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Fund
or the Certificateholders. With respect to any Distribution Date, to the extent
that the Prepayment Interest Shortfall exceeds Compensating Interest (such
excess, a "Non-Supported Interest Shortfall"), such Non-Supported Interest
Shortfall shall reduce the Current Interest with respect to each Class of
Certificates, pro rata based upon the amount of interest each such Class would
otherwise be entitled to receive on such Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, there shall be no reduction of the Servicing Fee in connection with
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls related to the Relief Act and the Servicer shall
not be obligated to pay Compensating Interest with respect to Prepayment
Interest Shortfalls related to the Relief Act.
SECTION 4.03. Distributions on the REMIC Interests.
On each Distribution Date, amounts on deposit in the Certificate
Account shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as applied to
distributions on the interests in the Lower Tier REMIC in an amount sufficient
to make the distributions on the respective Certificates on such Distribution
Date in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04.
SECTION 4.04. Distributions.
(a) On each Distribution Date, prior to any distributions to the
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall pay to the MI Insurer, the MI Insurer Fee
for such Distribution Date from funds then on deposit in the Certificate
Account.
(b) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make the following
distributions from the Certificate Account of an amount equal to the Interest
Funds in the following order of priority:
(i) to the Class P Certificates, any prepayment charges
collected on the Mortgage Loans and (A) any amounts paid by the Seller
or the Servicer in respect of prepayment charges pursuant to this
Agreement or (B) any amounts received in respect of any indemnification
paid as a result of a prepayment charge being unenforceable in breach
of the representations and warranties set forth in the Sale Agreement
received during the related Prepayment Period;
(ii) to each Class of the Class R and Class A Certificates,
the Current Interest and any Interest Carry Forward Amount with respect
to each such Class; provided, however, if such amount is not sufficient
to make a full distribution of the Current Interest and the aggregate
83
Interest Carry Forward Amount to each of the Class R and Class A
Certificates, such amount will be distributed pro rata among each Class
of the Class R and Class A Certificates based on the ratio of (x) the
Current Interest and Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class to
(y) the total amount of Current Interest and any Interest Carry Forward
Amount for the Class R and Class A Certificates in the aggregate;
(iii) to the Class M-1 Certificates, the Current Interest and
any Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class;
(iv) to the Class M-2 Certificates, the Current Interest and
any Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class;
(v) to the Class M-3 Certificates, the Current Interest and
any Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class;
(vi) to the Class M-4 Certificates, the Current Interest and
any Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class;
(vii) to the Class M-5 Certificates, the Current Interest and
any Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class;
(viii) to the Class M-6 Certificates, the Current Interest and
any Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class;
(ix) to the Class M-7 Certificates, the Current Interest and
any Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class;
(x) to the Class B-1 Certificates, the Current Interest and
any Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class;
(xi) to the Class B-2 Certificates, the Current Interest and
any Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class;
(xii) to the Class B-3 Certificates, the Current Interest and
any Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class;
(xiii) to the Class B-4 Certificates, the Current Interest and
any Interest Carry Forward Amount for such Class; and
(xiv) any remainder pursuant to Section 4.04(e) hereof.
On each Distribution Date, subject to the proviso in (b)(ii) above, Interest
Funds received on the Group One Mortgage Loans will be deemed to be distributed
to the Class R and Class A-1A Certificates and Interest Funds received on the
Group Two Mortgage Loans will be deemed to be distributed to the Class A-2
Certificates, in each case, until the related Current Interest and Interest
Carry Forward Amount of each such Class of Certificates for such Distribution
Date has been paid in full. Thereafter, Interest Funds not required for such
distributions are available to be applied to if necessary, to the Class or
Classes of Certificates that are not related to such group of Mortgage Loans.
84
(c) All amounts representing prepayment charges in respect of the
Mortgage Loans, and amounts paid by the Servicer in respect of prepayment
charges pursuant to this Agreement will be distributed by the Trustee to the
Holders of the Class P Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(b).
(d) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make the following
distributions from the Certificate Account of an amount equal to the Principal
Distribution Amount in the following order of priority, and each such
distribution shall be made only after all distributions pursuant to Section
4.04(b) above shall have been made until such amount shall have been fully
distributed for such Distribution Date:
(i) to the Class A and Class R Certificates, the Class A
Principal Distribution Amount shall be distributed as follows:
(1) the Group One Principal Distribution Amount shall be
distributed sequentially as follows: first, to the Class R
Certificate until its Certificate Principal Balance has been
reduced to zero, and second, to the Class A-1A Certificates
until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1A
Certificates has been reduced to zero;
(2) the Group Two Principal Distribution Amount shall be
distributed sequentially to the Class A-2A, Class A-2B and
Class A-2C Certificates, in that order, until the Certificate
Principal Balance of each such Class has been reduced to zero;
provided, however, that on and after the Distribution Date on
which the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
M, Class B and Class C Certificates have been reduced to zero,
any principal distributions allocated to the Class A-2A, Class
A-2B and Class A-2C Certificates are required to be allocated
pro rata among such Classes of Certificates, based on their
respective Certificate Principal Balances, until their
Certificate Principal Balances have been reduced to zero;

Distribution Amount;
(iii) to the Class M-2 Certificates, the Class M-2 Principal

remainders pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(xiv) and 4.04(d)(xiii) hereof, and each
such distribution shall be made only after all distributions pursuant to
Sections 4.04(b) and (d) above shall have been made until such remainders shall
have been fully distributed for such Distribution Date:
(i) for distribution as part of the Principal Distribution
Amount, the Extra Principal Distribution Amount;

86
Trustee from the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 8.06 to the extent such amounts

(i) Subject to Section 9.02 hereof respecting the final distribution,
on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to each
Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either by wire transfer
in immediately available funds to the account of such holder at a bank or other
entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder has so notified
the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date or,
if not, by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the
address of such holder appearing in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding
the
87
foregoing, but subject to Section 9.02 hereof respecting the final distribution,
distributions with respect to Certificates registered in the name of a
Depository shall be made to such Depository in immediately available funds.
All distributions or allocations made with respect to
Certificateholders within each Class on each Distribution Date shall be
allocated among the outstanding Certificates in such Class equally in proportion
to their respective Initial Certificate Principal Balances (or Percentage
Interests).
(j) The Trustee is hereby directed by the Depositor to execute the Cap
Contracts on behalf of the Trust Fund in the forms presented to it by the
Depositor and shall have no responsibility for the contents of such Cap
Contracts, including, without limitation, the representations and warranties
contained therein. Any funds payable by the Trustee under the Cap Contracts at
closing shall be paid by the Depositor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in the Cap Contracts, the Trustee shall not be required to
make any payments to the counterparty under the Cap Contracts. Any payments
received under the terms of the related Cap Contract will be available to pay
the holders of the related Classes of Certificates up to the amount of any
Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers remaining after all other distributions
required under this Section 4.04 are made on such Distribution Date, other than
Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers attributable to the fact that Applied
Realized Loss Amounts are not allocated to the Class A and Class R Certificates.
Any amounts received under the terms of any Cap Contract on a Distribution Date
that are not used to pay such Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers will be
distributed to the holders of the Class C Certificates. Payments in respect of
such Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers from proceeds of the Cap Contracts
shall be paid to the related Classes of Certificates, pro rata based upon such
Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers for each such Class of Offered
Certificates.
(i) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, for the benefit
of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, the Cap Contract Account.
On or prior to the related Cap Contract Termination Date, amounts, if
any, received by the Trustee for the benefit of the Trust Fund in
respect of any Cap Contract shall be deposited by the Trustee into the
Cap Contract Account and will be used to pay Floating Rate Certificate
Carryovers on the related Classes of Certificates as provided in this
Section 4.04(j). With respect to any Distribution Date on or prior to
the related Cap Contract Termination Date, the amount, if any, payable
by the Cap Contract Counterparty under the applicable Cap Contract will
equal the product of (i) the excess of (x) One-Month LIBOR (as
determined by the Cap Contract Counterparty and subject to a cap equal
to the rate with respect to such Distribution Date as shown under the
heading "1ML Upper Collar" in the schedule to the applicable Cap
Contract), over (y) the rate with respect to such Distribution Date as
shown under the heading "1ML Lower Collar" in the schedule to the
applicable Cap Contract, (ii) an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the
related Cap Contract Notional Balance for such Distribution Date and
(B) the Certificate Principal Balance of (I) in the case of the Class
A-1 Cap Contract, the Class A-1A and Class R Certificates, (II) in the
case of the Class A-2 Cap Contract, the Class A-2 Certificates and
(III) in the case of the Subordinated Certificate Cap Contract, the
Subordinated Certificates (excluding the Class B-4 Certificates), and
(iii) the number of days in such Accrual Period, divided by 360. If a
payment is made to the Trust Fund under a Cap Contract and the Trustee
is required to distribute excess amounts to the holders of the Class C
Certificates as described above, the Trustee shall, on the monthly
statement to Certificateholders described in Section 4.05 below, report
the amounts paid with respect to Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers
and the amount due to the holders of the Class C Certificates.
(ii) Amounts on deposit in the Cap Contract Account will
remain uninvested pending distribution to Certificateholders.
88
(iii) Each Cap Contract is scheduled to remain in effect until
its respective Cap Contract Termination Date and will be subject to
early termination only in limited circumstances. Such circumstances
include certain insolvency or bankruptcy events in relation to the Cap
Contract Counterparty (after a grace period of three Local Business
Days, as defined in the applicable Cap Contract, after notice of such
failure is received by the Cap Contract Counterparty) to make a payment
due under the applicable Cap Contract, the failure by the Cap Contract
Counterparty (after a cure period of 20 days after notice of such
failure is received) to perform any other agreement made by it under
the applicable Cap Contract, the termination of the Trust Fund and the
applicable Cap Contract becoming illegal or subject to certain kinds of
taxation.
(k) In accordance with this Agreement, the Servicer shall prepare and
deliver a report (the "Remittance Report") to the Trustee in the form of a
computer readable magnetic tape (or by such other means as the Servicer and the

--------------------
(1) The Class C Certificates shall not have minimum dollar denominations as
the Certificate Principal Balance thereof shall vary over time as
described herein and shall be issued in a
92
minimum percentage interest of 10% and an aggregate percentage interest
of 100%. The initial Overcollateralization Amount is $1,635.66.
(2) The Class P Certificates shall not have minimum dollar denominations or
Certificate Principal Balance and shall be issued in a minimum
percentage interest of 10% and an aggregate percentage interest of

The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on
behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual
or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such
signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind
the Trust Fund, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased
to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such authentication and
delivery. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement,
or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth as attached
hereto executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate of
authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. On
the Closing Date, the Trustee shall authenticate the Certificates to be issued
at the written direction of the Depositor, or any Affiliate thereof.
SECTION 5.02. Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and
Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5.09 hereof, a Certificate Register for the Trust
Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for
the registration of Certificates and of Transfers and exchanges of Certificates
as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of Transfer of any
Certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same
Class and of like aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for
other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing
the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the office or agency of a Trustee. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver the Certificates that the Certificateholder making the
exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of Transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of Transfer in form satisfactory to a Trustee duly executed by the
holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of Transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any Transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required. All
Certificates surrendered for registration of Transfer or exchange shall be
canceled and subsequently destroyed by a Trustee in accordance with such
Trustee's customary procedures.
(b) No Transfer of a Class B-4, Class C or Class P Certificate shall be
made unless such Transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or
is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and such
state securities laws. In the event that a Transfer is to be made in reliance
upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure
compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring
to effect such Transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee
shall (except with respect to the initial transfer of a Class B-4, Class C or
Class P Certificate by
93
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Co. or, in connection with the transfer of a Class B-4, Class C
or Class P Certificate to the indenture trustee under an Indenture pursuant to
which NIM Notes are issued) each certify to the Trustee in writing the facts
surrounding the Transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit F (the
"Transferor Certificate") and (i) deliver a letter in substantially the form of
either Exhibit G (the "Investment Letter") or Exhibit H (the "Rule 144A Letter")
or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed
to the Trustee that such Transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the
Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Depositor or the Trustee. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Class
B-4, Class C or Class P Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by
any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage
Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition
to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for Transfer of any such Certificate
without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the
registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee shall cooperate with
the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding
sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information in the
possession of the Trustee regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and
other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request
to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Class B-4,
Class C or Class P Certificate desiring to effect such Transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor and the Trustee against any liability
that may result if the Transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate that is a Class R
Certificate may be made to any Person that is an employee benefit plan or other
arrangement subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the
Code or a plan subject to any state, local, federal, non-U.S. or other law
substantively similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code ("Similar
Law") (collectively, "Plan"), or to any Person directly or indirectly acquiring
the Class R Certificate for, on behalf of, or with any assets of any such Plan.
Each Person to whom a Class R Certificate is to be transferred shall be required
or deemed to represent that it is not a Plan.
No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate (other than the Class R
Certificate) shall be made to any Person unless the Trustee has received (A) a
representation that the transferee is not a Plan and is not acquiring the
Certificate directly or indirectly for, on behalf of or with any assets of any
such Plan, (B) if the Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying
Underwriting, a representation that such transferee is an insurance company that
is acquiring the Certificate with assets of an "insurance company general
account," as defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption
("PTCE") 95-60, and the acquisition and holding of the Certificate are covered
and exempt under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or (C) solely in the case of
any such Certificate that is a Definitive Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee, and upon which the Trustee shall be entitled to
rely, to the effect that the acquisition and holding of such Certificate will
not constitute or result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Title I of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a violation of Similar Law, and will not
subject the Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor to any obligation in addition
to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall
not be an expense of the Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor.
For purposes of the two immediately preceding paragraphs of this
Subsection 5.02(b), other than clause (C) in the immediately preceding
paragraph, the representations as set forth therein shall be deemed to have been
made to the Trustee by the transferee's acceptance of an ERISA Restricted
Certificate (or the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest
in any Class of ERISA Restricted Certificates). Notwithstanding any other
provision herein to the contrary, any purported transfer of an ERISA Restricted
Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Trustee of a
representation or an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described
above shall be void and of no effect. The Trustee shall not be under any
liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of
94
any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
5.02(b) nor shall the Trustee be under any liability for making any payments due
on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the
transfer was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing
requirements. The Trustee shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from
any Holder of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that was in fact a Plan and that
held such Certificate in violation of this Section 5.02(b) all payments made on
such ERISA Restricted Certificate at and after the time it commenced such
holding. Any such payments so recovered shall be paid and delivered to the last
preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not a Plan.
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall
promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its
status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate may be
purchased, transferred or sold, directly or indirectly, except in
accordance with the provisions hereof. No Ownership Interest in a Class
R Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date or thereafter
transferred, and no Transfer of any Class R Certificate shall be
registered unless, in addition to the certificates required to be
delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee
shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of
the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit E-1 and an affidavit of the proposed transferor in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-2. In the absence of a contrary
instruction from the transferor of a Class R Certificate, declaration
(11) in Appendix A of the Transfer Affidavit may be left blank. If the
transferor requests by written notice to the Trustee prior to the date
of the proposed transfer that one of the two other forms of declaration
(11) in Appendix A of the Transfer Affidavit be used, then the
requirements of this Section 5.02(c)(ii) shall not have been satisfied
unless the Transfer Affidavit includes such other form of declaration.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest
in a Class R Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit
from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer
Affidavit from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee,
trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer of a Class R
Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that
such Person is not a Permitted Transferee. Further, no transfer, sale
or other disposition of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate
may be made to a person who is not a U.S. Person (within the meaning of
section 7701 of the Code) unless such person furnishes the transferor
and the Trustee with a duly completed and effective Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto) and the Trustee consents
to such transfer, sale or other disposition in writing.
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of
this Section 5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest
no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee
shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate in violation of the
provisions of this Section 5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted
Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Class R
Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability
95
to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class R Certificate
that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section
5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was
registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit. The Trustee
shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a
Class R Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the
time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other
than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Class R
Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so
recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to
the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.
(v) At the option of the Holder of the Class R Certificate,
the Class LTR Interest, and the Residual Interest may be severed and
represented by separate certificates (with the separate certificate
that represents the Residual Interest also representing all rights of
the Class R Certificate to distributions attributable to a Pass-Through
Rate on the Class R Certificate in excess of the Net Rate); provided,
however, that such separate certification may not occur until the
Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (at the
expense of the Holder of the Class R Certificate) to the effect that
separate certification in the form and manner proposed would not result
in the imposition of federal tax upon the Trust Fund or any of the
REMICs provided for herein or cause any of the REMICs provided for
herein to fail to qualify as a REMIC; and provided further, that the
provisions of Sections 5.02(b) and (c) will apply to each such separate
certificate as if the separate certificate were a Class R Certificate.
If, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, it is necessary to preserve
the REMIC status of any of the REMICs provided for herein, the Class
LTR Interest, and the Residual Interest shall be severed and
represented by separate Certificates (with the separate certificate
that represents the Residual Interest also representing all rights of
the Class R Certificate to distributions attributable to a Pass-Through
Rate on the Class R Certificate in excess of the Net Rate).
The restrictions on Transfers of a Class R Certificate set forth in
this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the
legend on a Class R Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers
occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to
the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund,
the Trustee or the Depositor, to the effect that the elimination of such
restrictions will not cause any of the REMICs provided for herein to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result
in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, any REMIC provided for herein, a
Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of
this Agreement that, based on an Opinion of Counsel addressed to and furnished
to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership
of, or any beneficial interest in, a Class R Certificate is not transferred,
directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b)
to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is
held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a
Permitted Transferee.
(d) The transferor of the Class R Certificate shall notify the Trustee
in writing upon the transfer of the Class R Certificate.
(e) The preparation and delivery of all certificates, opinions and
other writings referred to above in this Section 5.02 shall not be an expense of
the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Trustee.
96
SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or the
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Certificate and of the ownership thereof and (b) there is delivered to
the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by the Trustee to save
the Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trustee may require the payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to
this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of
ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. All Certificates
surrendered to the Trustee under the terms of this Section 5.03 shall be
canceled and destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with its standard procedures
without liability on its part.
SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Trustee and any agent of the Trustee may treat the Person in whose
name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the
purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all
other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.05. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses.
If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in
writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to
communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under
this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the
communication that such Certificateholders propose to transmit or if the
Depositor shall request such information in writing from the Trustee, then the
Trustee shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request,
provide the Depositor or such Certificateholders at such recipients' expense the
most recent list of the Certificateholders of the Trust Fund held by the
Trustee, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and
holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by
reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the
Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.
SECTION 5.06. Book-Entry Certificates.
The Regular Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in
the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry
Certificates, to be delivered to the Depository by or on behalf of the
Depositor. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be registered on the
Certificate Register in the name of the Depository or its nominee, and no
Certificate Owner of a Book-Entry Certificate will receive a definitive
certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest in such Certificates,
except as provided in Section 5.08. Unless and until definitive, fully
registered Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") have been issued to the
Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates pursuant to Section 5.08:
(a) the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;
97
(b) the Depositor and the Trustee may deal with the Depository and the
Depository Participants for all purposes (including the making of distributions)
as the authorized representative of the respective Certificate Owners of the
Book-Entry Certificates;
(c) registration of the Book-Entry Certificates may not be transferred
by the Trustee except to another Depository;
(d) the rights of the respective Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be exercised only through the Depository and the Depository
Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements
between the Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates and the Depository and/or the
Depository Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until
Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.08, the Depository will
make book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and
transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related Certificates to
such Depository Participants;
(e) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges
and expenses from its Depository Participants;
(f) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants; and
(g) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any
other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall
control.
For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting
actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Certificateholders
evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
any Class of Certificates, such direction or consent may be given by Certificate
Owners (acting through the Depository and the Depository Participants) owning
Book-Entry Certificates evidencing the requisite percentage of principal amount
of such Class of Certificates.
SECTION 5.07. Notices to Depository.
Whenever any notice or other communication is required to be given to
Certificateholders of the Class with respect to which Book-Entry Certificates
have been issued, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been
issued to the related Certificate Owners and the Trustee shall give all such
notices and communications to the Depository.
SECTION 5.08. Definitive Certificates.
If, after Book-Entry Certificates have been issued with respect to any
Certificates, (a) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee that the
Depository is no longer willing, qualified or able to discharge properly its
responsibilities under the Depository Agreement with respect to such
Certificates and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b)
the Depositor, at its sole option, advises the Trustee that it elects to
terminate the book-entry system with respect to such Certificates through the
Depository or (c) after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default,
Certificate Owners of such Book-Entry Certificates having not less than 51% of
the Voting Rights evidenced by any Class of Book-Entry Certificates advise the
Trustee and the Depository in writing through the Depository Participants that
the continuation of a book-entry system with respect to Certificates of such
Class through the Depository (or its successor) is no longer in the best
interests of the Certificate Owners of such Class, then the Trustee shall notify
all Certificate Owners of such Book-Entry Certificates, through the Depository,
of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive
Certificates to
98
Certificate Owners of such Class requesting the same. The Depositor shall
provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the
issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon surrender to the Trustee
of any such Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration
instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver such Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor
the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and
each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of such Definitive Certificates, all references
herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be
deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable
with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the
Holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
SECTION 5.09. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an
office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee initially designates its
office at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, Attention:
Worldwide Securities Services/Transfer Department as offices for such purposes.
The Trustee will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any
change in such location of any such office or agency.
ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICER
SECTION 6.01. Respective Liabilities of the Depositor and the Servicer.
The Depositor and the Servicer shall each be liable in accordance
herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and respectively
imposed upon and undertaken by them herein.
SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Servicer.
Except as provided in the next paragraph, the Depositor and the
Servicer will each keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a
corporation or banking association under the laws of the United States or under
the laws of one of the States thereof and will each obtain and preserve its
qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in
which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its respective duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Depositor or Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which
the Depositor or Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the
business of the Depositor or Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor
or Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of
any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except for the execution of an
assumption agreement where such succession is not effected by operation of law);
provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to a Servicer shall be
qualified to sell mortgage loans to, and to service mortgage loans on behalf of,
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac.
SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer
and Others.
None of the Depositor, the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers,
employees or agents of the Depositor or the Servicer shall be under any
liability to the 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
99
or any such Person against any breach of representations or warranties made by
it herein or protect the Depositor, the Servicer or any such Person from any
liability that would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer and
any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Servicer may
rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor,
the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or
the Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against
any loss, liability or expense, incurred in connection with the performance of
their duties under this agreement or incurred in connection with any audit,
controversy or judicial proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority
or any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than
any loss, liability or expense (i) incurred by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or (ii) which does not
constitute an "unanticipated expense" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). None of the Depositor nor the Servicer shall be
under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is
not incidental to its respective duties hereunder and that in its opinion may
involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that any of the
Depositor or the Servicer may, in its discretion undertake any such action that
it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights
and duties of the parties hereto and interests of the Servicer and the
Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of
such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be, expenses, costs and
liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor and the Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account as provided by
Section 3.08 hereof.
SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of Servicer.
The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective
until the Trustee or a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to the Trustee
and is appointed and has assumed the Servicer's responsibilities, duties,
liabilities and obligations hereunder. Any such resignation shall not relieve
the Servicer of any of the obligations specified in Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 7.03
as obligations that survive the resignation or termination of the Servicer.
The Trustee and the Depositor hereby specifically (i) consent to the
pledge and assignment by the Servicer of all the Servicer's right, title and
interest in, to and under this Agreement to the Servicing Rights Pledgee, for
the benefit of certain lenders, and (ii) provided that no Event of Default
exists, agree that upon delivery to the Trustee by the Servicing Rights Pledgee
of a letter signed by the Servicer whereby the Servicer shall resign as Servicer
under this Agreement, the Trustee shall appoint the Servicing Rights Pledgee or
its designee as successor servicer but only if such successor servicer meets the
requirements of a successor servicer under this Agreement and agrees to be
subject to the terms of this Agreement. If, pursuant to any provision hereof,
the duties of the Servicer are transferred to a successor servicer, the entire
amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Servicer
pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor servicer.
SECTION 6.05. Errors and Omissions Insurance; Fidelity Bonds.
The Servicer shall, for so long as it acts as servicer under this
Agreement, obtain and maintain in force (a) a policy or policies of insurance
covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as servicer
hereunder, and (b) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and
agents. Each such policy and bond shall, together, meet the requirements of
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless
100
the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from the Seller. The
Servicer shall provide the Trustee, upon request with reasonable notice, with
copies of such policies and fidelity bond or a certification from the insurance
provider evidencing such policies and fidelity bond. The Servicer may be deemed
to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of the Servicer has such
errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such
insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to
the Servicer. In the event that any such policy or bond ceases to be in effect,
the Servicer shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to obtain a comparable
replacement policy or bond from an insurer or issuer meeting the requirements
set forth above as of the date of such replacement. The Servicer shall ensure
that any such policy or fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable
without thirty days' prior written notice to the Trustee.
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT; TERMINATION OF SERVICER
SECTION 7.01. Events of Default.
"Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events:
(i) any failure by the Servicer to make any Advance to deposit
in the Collection Account or the Certificate Account or remit to the
Trustee any payment (excluding a payment required to be made under
Section 4.01 hereof) required to be made under the terms of this
Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for three Business
Days and, with respect to a payment required to be made under Section
4.01 hereof, for one Business Day, after the date on which written
notice of such failure shall have been given to the Servicer by the
Trustee or the Depositor; or
(ii) any failure by the Servicer to observe or perform in any
material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part
of the Servicer contained in this Agreement or any representation or
warranty shall prove to be untrue, which failure or breach shall
continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which
written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Servicer by
the Trustee or the Depositor; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of
assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the
Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force
undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
(iv) consent by the Servicer to the appointment of a receiver
or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of
assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the
Servicer or all or substantially all of the property of the Servicer;
or
(v) admission by the Servicer in writing of its inability to
pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
advantage of, or commence a voluntary case under, any applicable
insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its
obligations.
If an Event of Default shall occur with respect to the Servicer, then,
and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have
been remedied within the applicable grace period, or solely with respect to
clause (i) above by 5:00 p.m. on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Trustee may,
or at the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 50%
of the Voting Rights
101
evidenced by the Certificates shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer (with
a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and obligations of
the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the
proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. On or
after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and
power of the Servicer hereunder, subject to and in accordance with Section 6.04
hereof, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to
and be vested in the Trustee as successor servicer. To the extent the Event of
Default resulted from the failure of the Servicer to make a required Advance,
the Trustee, in its capacity as successor servicer, shall thereupon make any
Advance described in Section 4.01 hereof subject to Section 3.04 hereof. The
Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and
related documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such written
notice, no such termination shall affect any obligation of the Servicer to pay
amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the
Trustee in effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and
rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee of
all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to the Collection Account,
or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer and
the Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of an
Event of Default or an event that, with notice, passage of time, other action or
any combination of the foregoing would be an Event of Default, such notice to be
provided in any event within two Business Days of such occurrence.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Servicer
hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection
of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan that was due prior to the notice
terminating the Servicer's rights and obligations as Servicer hereunder and
received after such notice, that portion thereof to which the Servicer would
have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.08(a)(i) through (viii), and any other
amounts payable to the Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior
to the termination of its activities hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, upon termination of the Servicer hereunder, any liabilities of
the Servicer which accrued prior to such termination shall survive such
termination.
SECTION 7.02. [RESERVED].
SECTION 7.03. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall, to the extent provided in
Section 3.04, be the successor to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under
this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall
be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto
placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and applicable law
including the obligation to make advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As
compensation therefor, subject to the last paragraph of Section 7.01, as
applicable, the Trustee shall be entitled to all compensation and reimbursement
for costs and expenses that the Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder
if the Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the Trustee has become the successor to the Servicer in accordance with
Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or
shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to
Section 4.01 hereof or if it is otherwise unable to so act, appoint, or petition
a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan
servicing institution the appointment of which successor does not adversely
affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency as the
successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. Any successor
servicer shall be an institution that is a Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac approved
seller/servicer in good standing, that has a net
102
worth of at least $15,000,000, and that is willing to service the Mortgage Loans
and executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement
accepting such delegation and assignment, that contains an assumption by such
Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and
liabilities of the Servicer (other than liabilities of the Servicer under
Section 6.03 hereof incurred prior to termination of the Servicer under Section
7.01), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; and
provided further that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the
Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will
not be qualified or reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation. No
appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder shall be effective until
the Trustee shall have consented thereto, and written notice of such proposed
appointment shall have been provided by the Trustee to each Certificateholder.
The Trustee shall not resign as servicer until a successor servicer has been
appointed and has accepted such appointment. Pending appointment of a successor
to the Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law
from so acting, shall, subject to Section 3.04 hereof, act in such capacity as
hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the
Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of
payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided,
however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the
Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor servicer shall be deemed
to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in
making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to
perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder,
in either case caused by the failure of the Servicer to deliver or provide, or
any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or
records to it.
In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Servicer hereunder (including by reason of any Event of Default),
notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, the Trustee and the Depositor
hereby agree that within 10 Business Days or delivery to the Trustee by the
Servicing Rights Pledgee of a letter signed by the Servicer whereby the Servicer
shall resign as Servicer under this Agreement, the Servicing Rights Pledgee or
its designee shall be appointed as successor servicer (provided that at the time
of such appointment the Servicing Rights Pledgee or such designee meets the
requirements of a successor servicer set forth above) and the Servicing Rights
Pledgee agrees to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Any successor to the Servicer as servicer shall give notice to the
Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service
as servicer maintain in force the policy or policies that the Servicer is
required to maintain pursuant to Section 6.05.
SECTION 7.04. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the
Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders and notice of each such
Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default
shall have been cured or waived.
103
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after
the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs. In case an Event of Default or other default by the
Servicer or the Depositor hereunder shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee,
shall, at the direction of the majority of the Certificateholders, or may,
proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Certificateholders under this Agreement by a suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any
covenant or agreement contained in this agreement or in aid of the execution of
any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal,
equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, and subject
to the foregoing, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the
rights of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision
of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their
face, to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not
to conform, on its face, to the requirements of this Agreement in a material
manner, the Trustee shall notify the person providing such Agreement of such
non-conformance, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee's
satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders
and take such further action as directed by 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, its negligent failure to perform its obligations
in compliance with this Agreement, or any liability that would be imposed by
reason of its willful misfeasance or bad faith; provided, however, that:
(i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after
the curing of all such Events of Default that may have occurred, the
duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable,
individually or as Trustee, except for the performance of such duties
and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement
against the Trustee and the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Agreement that it reasonably
believed in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by
the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable, individually or as
Trustee, for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible
Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless the Trustee was
negligent or acted in bad faith or with willful misfeasance;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable, individually or as
Trustee, with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of
104
the Holders of each Class of Certificates evidencing not less than 50%
of the Voting Rights of such Class relating to the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee
under this Agreement; and
(iv) 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, upon the request of the Holders of
the 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.
The Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any complaint,
claim, demand, notice or other document it may receive or which may be alleged
to have been delivered to or served upon it by the parties as a consequence of
the assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall promptly remit to the Servicer upon receipt any such complaint,
claim, demand, notice or other document (i) which is delivered to the Trustee,
(ii) of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge and (iii) which
contains information sufficient to permit the Trustee to make a determination
that the real property to which such document related to is a Mortgaged
Property.
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,
Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties;

any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered
or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such
advice or Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable, individually or as
Trustee, for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith
and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights
or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(iv) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder
and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred,
the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts
or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval,
bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do
by the Holders of each Class of Certificates evidencing not less than
50% of the Voting Rights of such Class;
(v) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents, accountants or attorneys;
105
(vi) the Trustee shall not be required to expend its own funds
or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of
its duties hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing
that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
liability is not assured to it;
(vii) the Trustee shall not be liable, individually or as
Trustee, for any loss on any investment of funds pursuant to this
Agreement (other than as issuer of the investment security);
(viii) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an
Event of Default until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
received written notice thereof,
(ix) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to make any
investigation of matters arising hereunder or to institute, conduct or
defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request,
order or direction of 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 that may be incurred therein or
thereby; and
(x) if requested by the Servicer, the Trustee may appoint the
Servicer as the trustee's attorney-in-fact in order to carry out and
perform certain activities that are necessary or appropriate for the
servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this
Agreement. Such appointment shall be evidenced by a power of attorney
in such form as may be agreed to by the Trustee and the Servicer. The
Trustee shall have no liability for any action or inaction of the
Servicer in connection with such power of attorney and the Trustee
shall be indemnified by the Servicer for all liabilities, costs and
expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the Servicer's use
or misuse of such powers of attorney.
(b) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the
Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by the Trustee without
the possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the
trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or
proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the
benefit of all the Holders of the Certificates, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement.
(c) The Trustee is hereby directed to execute and deliver on behalf of
the Trust Fund any letter agreements relating to the MI Policy.
SECTION 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the
Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to
the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of any Mortgage Loan or related
document other than with respect to the Trustee's execution and authentication
of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Depositor or the Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor
or the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn
from the Collection Account or Certificate Account by the Depositor or the
Servicer.
SECTION 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it
were not the Trustee.
106
SECTION 8.05. Trustee's Fees.
The Trustee shall be entitled to earnings on or investment income with
respect to funds in or credited to the Certificate Account.
SECTION 8.06. Indemnification of Trustee; Expenses.
(a) The Trustee and its respective directors, officers, employees and
agents shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust Fund for any loss,
liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal proceeding or
incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their part, arising out of,
or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of the trusts created
hereunder or in connection with the performance of their duties hereunder,
including any applicable fees and expenses payable hereunder and the costs and
expenses of defending themselves against any claim in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, provided
that:
(i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee shall have
given the Depositor and the Holders written notice thereof promptly
after the Trustee shall have knowledge thereof; provided that failure
to so notify shall not relieve the Trust Fund of the obligation to
indemnify the Trustee; however, any reasonable delay by the Trustee to
provide written notice to the Depositor and the Holders promptly after
the Trustee shall have obtained knowledge of a claim shall not relieve
the Trust Fund of the obligation to indemnify the Trustee under this
Section 8.06;
(ii) while maintaining control over its own defense, the
Trustee shall cooperate and consult fully with the Depositor in
preparing such defense;
(iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
8.06, the Trust Fund shall not be liable for settlement of any such
claim by the Trustee entered into without the prior consent of the
Depositor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and
(iv) any such loss, liability or expense to be indemnified by
the Trust Fund must constitute an "unanticipated expense" of the Trust
Fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii).
The provisions of this Section 8.06 shall survive any termination of
this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee and shall be
construed to include, but not be limited to any loss, liability or expense under
any environmental law.
(b) The Trustee shall be entitled to all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advancements incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance
with this Agreement (including fees and expenses of its counsel and all persons
not regularly in its employment), except any such expenses, disbursements and
advancements that either (i) arise from its negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct or (ii) do not constitute "unanticipated expenses" within the meaning
of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii).
(c) The Trustee's right to indemnification and reimbursement shall be
subject to a cap of $300,000, excluding any Servicing Transfer Costs and any
auction expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with Section 9.01(a)(i),
in the aggregate in any calendar year; provided, however, that such cap shall
apply only if NIM Notes have been issued and are outstanding and shall cease to
apply after the date on which any NIM Notes are paid in full. Any amounts not in
excess of this cap may be withdrawn by the Trustee from the Certificate Account
at any time.
107
(d) The Trustee shall be further indemnified by the Trust Fund for and
held harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of, or in
connection with, the provisions set forth in the last paragraph of Section 2.01
hereof, including, without limitation, all costs, liabilities and expenses
(including reasonably legal fees and expenses) of investigating and defending
itself against any claim, action or proceeding, pending or threatened, relating
to the provisions of such paragraph.
SECTION 8.07. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall, at all times, be a corporation or
association organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United
States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authority and with a credit
rating that would not cause any of the Rating Agencies to reduce their
respective ratings of any Class of Certificates below the ratings issued on the
Closing Date (or having provided such security from time to time as is
sufficient to avoid such reduction). If such corporation or association
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section 8.07 the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.07, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.08 hereof. The corporation or
national banking association serving as Trustee may have normal banking and
trust relationships with the Depositor and its Affiliates; provided, however,
that such corporation cannot be an Affiliate of the Servicer other than the
Trustee in its role as successor to the Servicer.
SECTION 8.08. Resignation and Removal of Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by (1) giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor and
by mailing notice of resignation by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the
Certificateholders at their addresses appearing on the Certificate Register and
each Rating Agency, not less than 60 days before the date specified in such
notice when, subject to Section 8.09, such resignation is to take effect, and
(2) acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee in accordance with Section
8.09 and meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.07. If no successor
trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30
days after the giving of such notice or resignation, the resigning Trustee may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee.
If at any time (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.07 hereof and shall fail to resign after
written request thereto by the Depositor, (ii) the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or
(iii)(A) a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which
the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located, (B) the imposition of such tax would
be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee and (C) the Trustee fails
to indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, then the Depositor may remove the
Trustee and shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in
triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee, one
copy of which shall be delivered to the Servicer and one copy of which shall be
delivered to the successor trustee.
The Holders evidencing at least 51% of the Voting Rights of all Classes
of Certificates upon failure of the Trustee to perform its obligations hereunder
may at any time remove the Trustee and the
108
Depositor shall 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 by the
successor Trustee to the Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed
and one complete set to the successor so appointed. Notice of any removal of the
Trustee shall be given to each Rating Agency by the Successor Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.08 shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.09 hereof.
SECTION 8.09. Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.08 hereof
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor
trustee and the Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become
effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.09 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.07 hereof and its appointment
shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section 8.09, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail
such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the
expense of the Depositor.
SECTION 8.10. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
8.07 hereof without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding (except for the execution of an assumption agreement where such
succession is not effected by operation of law).
SECTION 8.11. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time,
for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the
time be located, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the
power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more
Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with
the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part
thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 8.11, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Any such
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of the
Servicer. The Trustee shall not be liable for the
109
actions of any co-trustee appointed at the request of the Trustee provided that
such co-trustee has been appointed with due care. If the Servicer shall not have
joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request
to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.07 and no notice to
Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee
shall be required under Section 8.09.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee
under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Servicer, shall
be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee
and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood
that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act
separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the
extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular
act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as
successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent
or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights,
powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the
Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee,
but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the
Servicer and the Depositor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
SECTION 8.12. Tax Matters.
(a) It is intended that each of the REMICs provided for herein shall
constitute, and that the affairs of the Trust Fund shall be conducted so as to
allow each such REMIC to qualify as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit"
as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. It is also
110
intended that each of the grantor trusts provided for in Section 2.07 hereof
shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Trust Fund shall be conducted so
as to allow each such grantor trust to qualify as, a grantor trust under the
provisions of Subpart E, Part I of Subchapter J of the Code. In furtherance of
such intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and
the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of each of the REMICs
provided for herein and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or
cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage
Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by
the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and
filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax
authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect
to each of the REMICs and grantor trusts provided for herein, containing such
information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or
state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be
furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such
times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty days of
the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue
Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name,
title, address, and telephone number of the person that the holders of the
Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with
such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update such
information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code for each of
the REMICs provided for herein; (c) make or cause to be made elections, on
behalf of each of the REMICs provided for herein to be treated as a REMIC on the
federal tax return of such REMICs for their first taxable years (and, if
necessary, under applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be
prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue
Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and
reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC
Provisions or other applicable tax law, including without limitation, the
calculation of any original issue discount using the Prepayment Assumption; (e)
provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer
of a Class R Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an
agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of
computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable
for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its control conduct the
affairs of each of the REMICs and grantor trusts provided for herein at all
times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each
of the REMICs provided for herein as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and the
status of each of the grantor trusts provided for herein as a grantor trust
under Subpart E, Part I of Subchapter J of the Code; (g) not knowingly or
intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the
termination of the REMIC status of any of the REMICs provided for herein or
result in the imposition of tax upon any such REMIC; (h) not knowingly or
intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the
termination of the grantor trust status under Subpart E, Part I of Subchapter J
of the Code of any of the grantor trusts provided for herein or result in the
imposition of tax upon any such grantor trust; (i) pay, from the sources
specified in the last paragraph of this Section 8.12, the amount of any federal,
state and local taxes, including prohibited transaction taxes as described
below, imposed on each of the REMICs provided for herein prior to the
termination of the Trust Fund when and as the same shall be due and payable (but
such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person
from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent
the Trustee from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending
the outcome of such proceedings); (j) sign or cause to be signed federal, state
or local income tax or information returns; (k) maintain records relating to
each of the REMICs and grantor trusts provided for herein, including but not
limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities of each of the REMICs
and grantor trusts provided for herein, and the fair market value and adjusted
basis of the Trust Fund property determined at such intervals as may be required
by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules,
statements or information; and (l) as and when necessary and appropriate,
represent each of the REMICs and grantor trusts provided for herein in any
administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by
any governmental taxing
111
authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any of
the REMICs provided for herein, enter into settlement agreements with any
governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any
tax item of any of the REMICs provided for herein, and otherwise act on behalf
of each of the REMICs provided for herein in relation to any tax matter
involving any of such REMICs or any controversy involving the Trust Fund.
In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth
herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee
within 10 days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee
requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the
valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without
limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of
the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide
to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional
information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, request in order to
enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor
hereby agrees to indemnify the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages,
claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of
the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to
cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely
basis.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of
any of the REMICs provided for herein as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the
Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of any of such REMICs as
defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to the Trust Fund
after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax
is imposed, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid
by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach
by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement or as a result of
the location of the Trustee, (ii) any party hereto (other than the Trustee) to
the extent any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by such
other party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or as a result of the
location of such other party or (iii) in all other cases, or in the event that
any liable party here fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses
(i) or (ii), any such tax will be paid first with amounts (other than amounts
derived by the Trust Fund from a payment on any Cap Contract) otherwise to be
distributed to the Class R Certificateholders (pro rata) pursuant to Section
4.04, and second with amounts (other than amounts derived by the Trust Fund from
a payment on any Cap Contract) otherwise to be distributed to all other
Certificateholders in the following order of priority: first, to the Class C
Certificates (pro rata), second, to the Class B-4 Certificates (pro rata),
third, to the Class B-3 Certificates (pro rata), fourth, to the Class B-2
Certificates (pro rata), fifth, to the Class B-1 Certificates (pro rata), sixth,
to the Class M-7 Certificates (pro rata), seventh, to the Class M-6 Certificates
(pro rata), eighth, to the Class M-5 Certificates (pro rata), ninth, to the

rata), eleventh, to the Class M-2 Certificates (pro rata), twelfth, to the Class
M-1 Certificates (pro rata), and thirteenth, to the Class A Certificates (pro
rata). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent
that such tax is payable by the Class R Certificate, the Trustee is hereby
authorized pursuant to such instruction to retain on any Distribution Date, from
the Holders of the Class R Certificate (and, if necessary, from the Holders of
all other Certificates in the priority specified in the preceding sentence),
funds otherwise distributable to such Holders in an amount sufficient to pay
such tax. The Trustee agrees to promptly notify in writing the party liable for
any such tax of the amount thereof and the due date for the payment thereof.
(b) Each of the Depositor and the Trustee agrees not to knowingly or
intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the
termination of the REMIC status of any of the REMICs provided for herein or
result in the imposition of a tax upon any of the REMICs provided for herein.

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01. Termination upon Liquidation or Repurchase of all
Mortgage Loans.
(a) Subject to Section 9.03, the obligations and responsibilities of
the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the
Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the successful completion of
the auction referred to in Section 9.01(b), (ii) the exercise by the Servicer of
the Clean Up Call on any Distribution Date on or after the Clean Up Call Date
and (iii) the later of (x) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance
with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and
the disposition of all REO Property and (y) the distribution to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to
this Agreement, as applicable. In no event shall the trusts created hereby
continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death of
the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador
of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof and
(ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
(b) (i) Any termination pursuant to Section 9.01(a)(i) shall be
effected by the auction by the Trustee of all of the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties via a solicitation of bids in accordance with the auction procedures
set forth in Exhibit N. The Trustee shall accept the highest such bid, provided
that such bid equals or exceeds the amount described in the definition of
"Auction Termination Price." Any sale pursuant to such auction process must
occur no earlier than the second day of the calendar month that includes the
Distribution Date on which the proceeds of such sale will be distributed to the
Certificateholders.
(ii) If no sale under Section 9.01(a)(i) occurs, the Servicer
may, at its option, terminate the Trust Fund on any Distribution Date by
purchasing all of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at the price equal to
the Clean Up Call Price.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Auction Termination Amount
received by the Trustee or the Clean Up Call Price paid by the Servicer shall be
deposited by the Trustee directly into the Certificate Account promptly upon
receipt of such amount by the Trustee. Any Clean Up Call Price to be paid by the
Servicer shall be paid by the Servicer to the Trustee for deposit into the
Certificate Account.
(c) If the Trustee receives a bid meeting the conditions specified in
Section 9.01(b)(i) or there is a Clean Up Call pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(ii),
then the Trustee's written acceptance of such bid shall constitute a plan of
complete liquidation within the meaning of Section 860F of the Code, and the
Trustee shall release to the winning bidder of the auction or the purchaser
pursuant to the Clean Up Call, upon the Trustee's receipt of the Auction
Termination Price or the Clean Up Call Price and the distribution by the Trustee
of such amounts in accordance with Section 4.04 hereof, the Mortgage Files
pertaining to the Mortgage Loans being purchased and take such other actions as
the winning bidder or such purchaser may reasonably request to effect the
transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the winning bidder or such purchaser.
In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding
paragraph, the Servicer shall deposit in the Certificate Account all amounts
then on deposit in the Collection Account (less amounts permitted to be
withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.08), which deposit shall be
deemed to have occurred immediately preceding such purchase.
Any purchase shall be accomplished by deposit into the Certificate
Account of the amount paid by the winning bidder if an Auction Termination has
occurred or the amount described in the definition of "Clean Up Call Price" and
only following the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance
113
acceptable to the Trustee that such termination is a "Qualified Liquidation"
under Section 860F of the Code.
(d) The right of the Depositor to direct the Trustee to effect an
Auction Termination or of the Servicer to effect a Clean Up Call pursuant to
clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above shall be conditioned upon the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, at the time of any such repurchase,
aggregating ten percent (10%) or less of the Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
(e) In the event that the Trustee is unable to complete a sale at the
Auction Termination, the Servicer may terminate the Trust Fund by purchasing all
the Mortgage Loans, and REO Properties at a price equal to the Clean Up Call
Price on any Distribution Date on or after the Clean Up Call Date, by exercising
a Clean Up Call.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IX, no
Auction Termination or Clean Up Call shall be effected at any time during which
NIM Notes are outstanding if the Class C Certificateholder notifies the Trustee
in writing that the Class C Certificateholder does not consent to such proposed
Auction Termination or Clean Up Call. The parties hereto intend that the portion
of any amount received upon an Auction Termination or Clean Up Call that is
attributable to clause (C) of the definition of Auction Termination Price or
clause (c) of the definition of Clean Up Call Price and required to cover what
would otherwise be a shortfall in the amounts described in clause (C) of the
definition of Auction Termination Price or clause (c) of the definition of Clean
Up Call Price shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as having been
paid by the winning bidder of the auction or the Servicer, as applicable,
directly to the Class C Certificateholder (rather than having been paid to any
REMIC) to induce the Class C Certificateholder to consent to the Auction
Termination or Clean Up Call, as applicable.
SECTION 9.02. Final Distribution on the Certificates.
If on any Determination Date, (i) the Trustee determines that there are
no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund
other than the funds in the Collection Account, the Trustee shall send a final
distribution notice promptly to each Certificateholder or (ii) the Trustee
determines that a Class of Certificates shall be retired after a final
distribution on such Class, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders
within seven (7) Business Days after such Determination Date that the final
distribution in retirement of such Class of Certificates is scheduled to be made
on the immediately following Distribution Date. Any final distribution made
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence will be made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee
specified in such notice. If the Trustee is able to terminate the Trust Fund
pursuant to Section 9.01(a)(i), or if the Servicer conducts a Clean Up Call and
terminates the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(a)(ii) or 9.01(e), at least
10 days prior to the date notice is to be mailed to the affected
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor and the Servicer of
the date such electing party intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the
applicable repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the
Distribution Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates
for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly
by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th
day and no later than the 15th day of the month immediately preceding the month
of such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution
Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b)
the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender
must be made, and (c) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made
114
only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein
specified. The Trustee will give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time
such notice is given to Certificateholders.
In the event such notice is given, the Servicer shall cause all funds
in the Collection Account to be deposited in the Certificate Account on the
Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to the
final distribution in respect of the Certificates. Upon such final deposit with
respect to the Trust Fund and the receipt by the Trustee of a Request for
Release therefor, the Trustee shall promptly release to the Trustee the Mortgage
Files for the Mortgage Loans.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall
cause to be distributed to Certificateholders of each Class the amounts
allocable to such Certificates held in the Certificate Account in the order and
priority set forth in Section 4.04 hereof on the final Distribution Date and in
proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.
In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender
Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the
above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice
to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not
have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps,
or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that remain a part of
the Trust Fund. If within one year after the second notice all Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholder
shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund that
remain subject hereto. Upon payment to the Class R Certificateholder of such
funds and assets, the Trustee shall have no further duties or obligations with
respect thereto.
SECTION 9.03. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event the Trustee is able to effect an Auction Termination
or the Servicer conducts a Clean Up Call as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust
Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional
requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel
addressed to the Trustee, at the expense of the Servicer to the effect that the
failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.03
will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of
any of the REMICs provided for herein as defined in section 860F of the Code, or
(ii) cause any of the REMICs provided for herein to fail to qualify as a REMIC
at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
(i) The Depositor shall establish a 90-day liquidation period
and notify the Trustee thereof, which shall in turn specify the first
day of such period in a statement attached to the final tax returns of
each of the REMICs provided for herein pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.860F-1. The Depositor shall satisfy all the requirements of a
qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any
regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel obtained
at the expense of the Trust Fund;
(ii) During such 90-day liquidation period, and at or prior to
the time of making the final payment on the Certificates, the Depositor
as agent of the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund
for cash; and
(iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be
distributed or credited, to the Class R Certificateholder all
115
cash on hand (other than cash retained to meet outstanding claims known
to the Trustee), and the Trust Fund shall terminate at that time,
whereupon the Trustee shall have no further duties or obligations with
respect to sums distributed or credited to the Class R
Certificateholder.
(b) By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby
authorize the Depositor to specify the 90-day liquidation period for the Trust
Fund, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor
Certificateholders.
(c) The Trustee as agent for each REMIC hereby agrees to adopt and sign
a plan of complete liquidation prepared and delivered to it by the Depositor
upon the written request of the Depositor, and the receipt of Opinion of Counsel
referred to in Section 9.03(a)(i) and to take such other action in connection
therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Depositor.
(d) Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement, prior to
termination of the Trust Fund, the Servicer may prepare a reconciliation of all
Advances and Servicing Advances made by it for which it has not been reimbursed
and a reasonable estimate of all additional Servicing Advances and other costs
for which it would be entitled to be reimbursed if the Trust Fund were not being
terminated, including without limitation, any Servicing Advances and other costs
arising under Section 6.03, and the Servicer may recover these Advances,
Servicing Advances and estimated Servicing Advances and other costs from the
Collection Account (to the extent that such recovery of Servicing Advances,
estimated Servicing Advances and other costs constitutes "unanticipated
expenses" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii)).
(e) Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement, unless the
Servicer previously has notified the Trustee that it has entered into a
servicing agreement for the servicing after the termination date of the Trust
Fund assets, at least 20 days prior to any termination of the Trust Fund, the
Depositor shall notify the Servicer in writing to transfer the assets of the
Trust Fund as of the termination date to the person specified in the notice, or
if such person is not then known, to continue servicing the assets until the
date that is 20 days after the termination date and on the termination date, the
Depositor shall notify the Servicer of the person to whom the assets should be
transferred on that date. In the latter event the Servicer shall be entitled to
recover its servicing fee and any advances made for the interim servicing period
from the collections on the assets which have been purchased from the Trust and
the new owner of the assets, and the agreements for the new owner to obtain
ownership of the assets of the Trust Fund shall so provide.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01. Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders,
(i) To cure any ambiguity or correct any mistake,
(ii) To correct, modify or supplement any provision therein
which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein,
(iii) To add any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under this Agreement, or
116
(iv) To modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the
terms or provisions contained in this Agreement, provided, however,
that, in the case of clauses (iii) and (iv), such amendment will not,
as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to such
effect, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Holder; provided, further, however, that such amendment will be deemed
to not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Holder if the Person requesting such amendment obtains a letter from
each Rating Agency stating that such amendment will not result in a
reduction or withdrawal of its rating of any Class of the Certificates,
it being understood and agreed that any such letter in and of itself
will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such
amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit
issues affecting any such rating.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the
Certificateholders, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee may at any time
and from time to time amend this Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of
its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to maintain
the qualification of any of the REMICs provided for herein as REMICs under the
Code or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on the Trust
Fund or any of the REMICs provided for herein pursuant to the Code that would be
a claim against the Trust Fund at any time prior to the final redemption of the
Certificates, provided that the Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel
addressed to the Trustee, which opinion shall be an expense of the party
requesting such amendment but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee
or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or appropriate to
maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition
of such a tax.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Servicer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Certificates affected thereby
evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the Voting Rights, for the purpose of adding
any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any
manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in (i),
without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing 66
2/3% or more of the Voting Rights of such Class or (iii) reduce the aforesaid
percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any
such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all such Certificates then
outstanding.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first
received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, which opinion shall be
an expense of the party requesting such amendment but in any case shall not be
an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment
is permitted hereunder and will not cause the imposition of any tax on the Trust
Fund, any of the REMICs provided for herein or the Certificateholders or cause
any of the REMICs provided for herein to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement
requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee or upon the written
request of the Trustee to the Servicer, the Servicer shall furnish written
notification of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder and
each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
117
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee or the Servicer to
enter into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to
the Trustee or the Servicer that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not
prohibited by this Agreement and that all requirements for amending this
Agreement have been complied with; and (ii) either (A) the amendment does not
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder
or (B) the conclusion set forth in the immediately preceding clause (A) is not
required to be reached pursuant to this Section 10.01.
The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any
supplement, modification or waiver which affects its rights, duties or
obligations hereunder.
SECTION 10.02. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of
counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and
such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
SECTION 10.03. Governing Law.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY
THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND
TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND
REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES
THEREOF.
SECTION 10.04. Intention of Parties.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of
the Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, assignments of Mortgages, title insurance
policies and any modifications, extensions and/or assumption agreements and
private mortgage insurance policies relating to the Mortgage Loans by the
Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof to
the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such
conveyance be deemed a pledge thereof by the Depositor to the Trustee. However,
in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are
held to be the property of the Depositor, or if for any other reason this
Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in such assets, then
(i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning
of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance
provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant
by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a
security interest in all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund, whether
now owned or hereafter acquired.
The Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall, to the
extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to
ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the
assets of the Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be
maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. The Depositor shall
arrange for filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in
connection with any security interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders.

prepaid, to their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.
SECTION 10.06. Severability of Provisions.
If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of
this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the
remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and
119
shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of
this Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.
SECTION 10.07. Assignment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as
provided pursuant to Section 6.02, this Agreement may not be assigned by the
Servicer without the prior written consent of the Trustee and Depositor.
SECTION 10.08. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to
terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder's
legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or winding up of the Trust
Fund, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties
hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided
herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the
Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein
set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so as to
constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an
association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third
party by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to
any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself
of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding
in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of an Event
of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, the Holders
of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by
the Certificates shall also have made written request to the Trustee to
institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder
and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may
require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or
thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request
and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute any such
action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being
expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or
themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek
to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any
right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the
common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of
the provisions of this Section 10.08, each and every Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.
SECTION 10.09. Inspection and Audit Rights.
The Servicer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any
representative of the Depositor or the Trustee during the Servicer's normal
business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other
papers of the Servicer relating to the Mortgage Loans, to make copies and
extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified
public accountants selected by the Depositor or the Trustee and to discuss its
affairs, finances and accounts relating to the Mortgage Loans with its officers,
employees, agents, counsel and independent public accountants (and by this
provision the Servicer hereby authorizes such accountants to discuss with such
representative such affairs,
120
finances and accounts), all at such reasonable times and as often as may be
reasonably requested. Any out-of-pocket expense incident to the exercise by the
Depositor or the Trustee of any right under this Section 10.09 shall be borne by
the party requesting such inspection; all other such expenses shall be borne by
the Servicer.
SECTION 10.10. Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid.
It is the intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall not be
personally liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests in the
Trust Fund represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any reason
whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof by the
Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall be deemed fully paid.
SECTION 10.11. Third Party Rights.
The MI Insurer shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement
to the same extent as if it were a party hereto, and shall have the right to
enforce the provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 10.12. [RESERVED].
SECTION 10.13. [RESERVED].
SECTION 10.14. Assignment; Sales; Advance Facilities.
(a) The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other
facility (any such arrangement, an "Advance Facility"), the documentation for
which complies with Section 10.14(e) below, under which (1) the Servicer assigns
or pledges its rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any or all
Advances and/or Servicing Advances to (i) a Person, which may be a
special-purpose bankruptcy-remote entity (an "SPV"), (ii) a Person, which may
simultaneously assign or pledge such rights to an SPV or (iii) a lender (a
"Lender"), which, in the case of any Person or SPV of the type described in
either of the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), may directly or through other
assignees and/or pledgees, assign or pledge such rights to a Person, which may
include a trustee acting on behalf of holders of debt instruments (any such
Person or any such Lender, an "Advance Financing Person"), and/or (2) an Advance
Financing Person agrees to fund all the Advances and/or Servicing Advances
required to be made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of
the Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party shall be required before the
Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility nor shall the Trustee or the
Certificateholders be a third party beneficiary of any obligation of an Advance
Financing Person to the Servicer. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance
Facility under which an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund Advances and/or
Servicing Advances, (A) the Servicer (i) shall remain obligated pursuant to this
Agreement to make Advances and/or Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required
by this Agreement and (ii) shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue
of such Advance Facility and (B) neither the Advance Financing Person nor any
Servicer's Assignee (as hereinafter defined) shall have any right to proceed
against or otherwise contact any Mortgagor for the purpose of collecting any
payment that may be due with respect to any related Mortgage Loan or enforcing
any covenant of such Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents.
(b) If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, the Servicer and the
related Advance Financing Person shall deliver to the Trustee at the address set
forth in Section 10.05 hereof a written notice (an "Advance Facility Notice"),
stating (a) the identity of the Advance Financing Person and (b) the identity of
the Person (the "Servicer's Assignee") that will, subject to Section 10.14(c)
hereof, have the right to make withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant
to Section 3.08(a) hereof to reimburse previously unreimbursed Advances and/or
Servicing Advances ("Advance Reimbursement
121
Amounts"). Advance Reimbursement Amounts (i) shall consist solely of amounts in
respect of Advances and/or Servicing Advances for which the Servicer would be
permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with Section 3.08 hereof, assuming
the Servicer had made the related Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s) and
(ii) shall not consist of amounts payable to a successor servicer in accordance
with Section 3.05 hereof to the extent permitted under Section 10.14(e) below.
(c) Notwithstanding the existence of an Advance Facility, the Servicer, on
behalf of the Advance Financing Person and the Servicer's Assignee, shall be
entitled to receive reimbursements of Advances and/or Servicing Advances in
accordance with Section 4.01 hereof, which entitlement may be terminated by the
Advance Financing Person pursuant to a written notice to the Trustee in the
manner set forth in Section 10.05 hereof. Upon receipt of such written notice,
the Servicer shall no longer be entitled to receive reimbursement for any
Advance Reimbursement Amounts and the Servicer's Assignee shall immediately have
the right to receive from the Collection Account all Advance Reimbursement
Amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the
Servicer and/or the Servicer's Assignee shall only be entitled to reimbursement
of Advance Reimbursement Amounts hereunder from withdrawals from the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 4.01 of this Agreement and shall not otherwise be
entitled to make withdrawals or receive amounts that shall be deposited in the
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof, and (ii) none of the
Trustee or the Certificateholders shall have any right to, or otherwise be
entitled to, receive any Advance Reimbursement Amounts to which the Servicer or
Servicer's Assignee, as applicable, shall be entitled pursuant to Section 4.01
hereof. An Advance Facility may be terminated by the joint written direction of
the Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person. Written notice of such
termination shall be delivered to the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section
10.05 hereof. None of the Depositor or the Trustee shall, as a result of the
existence of any Advance Facility, have any additional duty or liability with
respect to the calculation or payment of any Advance Reimbursement Amount, nor,
as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility, shall the Depositor or the
Trustee have any additional responsibility to track or monitor the
administration of the Advance Facility or the payment of Advance Reimbursement
Amounts to the Servicer's Assignee. The Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor,
the Trustee, any successor servicer and the Trust Fund for any claim, loss,
liability or damage resulting from any claim by the related Advance Financing
Person, except to the extent that such claim, loss, liability or damage resulted
from or arose out of negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part
of the Depositor, the Trustee or any successor servicer, as the case may be, or
failure by the successor servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, to remit
funds as required by this Agreement or the commission of an act or omission to
act by the successor servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, and the
passage of any applicable cure or grace period, such that an Event of Default
under this Agreement occurs or such entity is subject to termination for cause
under this Agreement. The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor
servicer and, upon request, the Trustee a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan
basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any
Advance Financing Person. The successor servicer shall be entitled to rely on
any such information provided by the predecessor Servicer, and the successor
servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such information.
(d) [RESERVED].
(e) As between a predecessor Servicer and its Advance Financing Person, on
the one hand, and a successor servicer and its Advance Financing Person, if any,
on the other hand, Advance Reimbursement Amounts on a loan-by-loan basis with
respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which an Advance and/or Servicing Advance
shall have been made and be outstanding shall be allocated on a "first-in, first
out" basis. In the event the Servicer's Assignee shall have received some or all
of an Advance Reimbursement Amount related to Advances and/or Servicing Advances
that were made by a Person other than such predecessor Servicer or its related
Advance Financing Person in error, then such Servicer's Assignee shall be
required to remit any portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount to
122
each Person entitled to such portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall remain
entitled to be reimbursed by the Advance Financing Person for all Advances
and/or Servicing Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related
Advance Reimbursement Amounts have not been assigned or pledged to such Advance
Financing Person or Servicer's Assignee.
(f) For purposes of any Officer's Certificate of the Servicer made
pursuant to Section 4.01, any Non-Recoverable Advance or Non-Recoverable
Servicing Advance referred to therein may have been made by such Servicer or any
predecessor Servicer. In making its determination that any Advance or Servicing
Advance theretofore made has become a Non-Recoverable Advance or Non-Recoverable
Servicing Advance, the Servicer shall apply the same criteria in making such
determination regardless of whether such Advance or Servicing Advance shall have
been made by the Servicer or any predecessor Servicer.
(g) Any amendment to this Section 10.14 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 10.14, including amendments to
add provisions relating to a successor servicer, may be entered into by the
Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer without the consent of any
Certificateholder, provided such amendment complies with Section 10.01 hereof.
All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) of each party
hereto of any such amendment shall be borne solely by the Servicer. The parties
hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Advances and/or Servicing
Advances financed by and/or pledged to an Advance Financing Person under any
Advance Facility are obligations owed to the Servicer payable only from the cash
flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of Advances
and/or Servicing Advances only to the extent provided herein, and the Trustee
and the Trust are not, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility,
obligated or liable to repay any Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by
the Advance Financing Person; (b) the Servicer will be responsible for remitting
to the Advance Financing Person the applicable amounts collected by it as
reimbursement for Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the Advance
Financing Person, subject to the provisions of this Agreement; and (c) the
Trustee shall not have any responsibility to track or monitor the administration
of the financing arrangement between the Servicer and any Advance Financing
Person.
123
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee have
caused their names to be signed hereto by their respective officers thereunto

evidence of such recording; and
(iii) Such documents have been reviewed by it and such documents do not
contain any material omissions or defects within the meaning of Section 2.01 or
2.02.
The Trustee has made no independent examination of any documents contained
in each Mortgage File beyond confirming (i) that the Mortgage Loan number and
the name of the Mortgagor in each Mortgage File conform to the respective
Mortgage Loan number and name listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and (ii) the
existence in each Mortgage File of each of the documents listed in subparagraphs
(i)(A) through (E), inclusive, of Section 2.01 in the Agreement and documents
