This POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of August 1, 2004 (the
"Agreement"), by and among XXXXXX XXXXXXX CAPITAL I INC., a Delaware
corporation, as depositor (the "Depositor"), DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST
COMPANY, a national banking association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), XXXXX
FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, in its dual capacities as master servicer
(the "Master Servicer") and securities administrator (the "Securities
Administrator"), and WASHINGTON MUTUAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP., as a
servicer (a "Servicer") and acknowledged by XXXXXX XXXXXXX MORTGAGE CAPITAL
INC., a New York corporation, as seller (the "Seller"), for purposes of
Section 2.05.
WITNESSETH THAT
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby
conveyed to the Trustee in return for the Certificates. As provided herein,
the Trustee will make multiple elections to treat segregated pools of assets
subject to this Agreement for federal income tax purposes as the following
three separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a "REMIC"): the
Subsidiary REMIC, the Middle REMIC and the Master REMIC. The Subsidiary REMIC
will consist of all of the assets constituting the Trust Fund, other than the
Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests, the Middle REMIC Regular Interests, the
Master REMIC, the Certificates and any rights of the Trust Fund in respect of
the Additional Collateral. The Subsidiary REMIC will issue uncertificated
REMIC regular interests (the "Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests"). The
Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests will represent the "regular interests" in
the Subsidiary REMIC and the SR Interest will represent the single Class of
"residual interest" in the Subsidiary REMIC.
The Trustee will hold the Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests for
the benefit of the Middle REMIC. The Middle REMIC will consist of the
Subsidiary REMIC Interests and will issue uncertificated REMIC regular
interests, which will constitute the regular interests in the Middle REMIC
(the "Middle REMIC Regular INterests") and the Class R-2 Interest, which will
represent the single Class of "residual interest" in the Middle REMIC.
The Trustee will hold the Middle REMIC Regular Interests for the
benefit of the Master REMIC. The Master REMIC will consist of the Middle REMIC
Interests and will be evidenced b the Certificates, which (other than the
Class A-R Certificates) will constitute the regular interests in the Master
REMIC (the "Regular Certificates") and the Class R-3 Interest, which will
represent the single Class of "residual interest" in the Master REMIC. The
Class A-R Certificates will represent the beneficial ownership of each of the
Class R-1, Class R-2 and Class R-3 Interests. The "latest possible maturity
date" for federal income tax purposes of all regular and residual interests
created hereunder will be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
v
The Subsidiary REMIC
The Subsidiary REMIC Interests, each of which (except for the
Class R-1 Interests) is hereby designated as a REMIC regular interest for
federal income tax purposes, will have the principal balances, pass-through
rates and Corresponding Loan Groups as set forth in the following table:

---------------
(1) Each Class A Interest will have a principal balance initially equal to
0.9% of the Subordinate Component Balance ("Subordinated Portion") of
its Corresponding Loan Group. Each Class B Interest will have a
principal balance initially equal to 0.1% of the Subordinate Component
Balance of its Corresponding Loan Group. The initial principal balance
of each Class C Interest will equal the excess of: (i) the product of
(A) the weighted average of the Non-A-P Percentages of the Corresponding
Loan Group and (B) the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans
in the Corresponding Loan Group over (ii) the initial aggregate
principal balances of the Class A and Class B Interests corresponding to
such Loan Group.
(2) For each Distribution Date, a notional balance equal to the aggregate
principal balance of the Loan Group 1 Non-Discount Mortgage Loans.
(3) The excess of the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates for the
Loan Group 1 Non-Discount Mortgage Loans over 5.50%.
vi
(4) For each Distribution Date, the principal balance in respect of the
Class 1-A-P Certificates.
(5) For each Distribution Date, the weighted average of the Net Mortgage
Rates for Loan Group 2.
(6) For each Distribution Date, a notional balance equal to the aggregate
principal balance of the Loan Group 3 Non-Discount Mortgage Loans.
(7) The excess of the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates for the
Loan Group 3 Non-Discount Mortgage Loans over 5.00%.
(8) For each Distribution Date, the principal balance in respect of the
Class 3-A-P Certificates.
(9) For each Distribution Date, the Pass Through Rate in respect of the
Class A-R Certificates.
(10) The Class SR-P Interest will not be entitled to any interest, but will
be entitled to 100% of any prepayment premiums paid on the Mortgage
Loans.
On any Distribution Date:
(1) If no Cross-Over Situation exists with respect to any Class of
Interests, then the Non-A-P Percentage of Principal Reductions arising with
respect to each Loan Group will be allocated first to cause the Loan Group's
corresponding Class A and Class B Interests to equal, respectively, 0.9% of
the Subordinated Portion, 0.1% of the Subordinated Portion as of such
Distribution Date, and second to the Loan Group's corresponding Class C
Interest;
(2) If a Cross-Over Situation exists then:
(a) if the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and
Class B Interests is less than the Subordinate Pass Through Rate, Principal
Relocation Payments will be made proportionately to the outstanding Class A
Interests prior to any other Principal Distributions from each such Loan
Group; and
(b) if the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and
Class B Interests is greater than the Subordinate Pass Through Rate, Principal
Relocation Payments will be made proportionately to the outstanding Class B
Interests prior to any other Principal Distributions from each such Loan
Group.
In each case, Principal Relocation Payments will be made so as to cause
the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and Class B
Interests to equal the Subordinate Pass Through Rate. With respect to each
Loan Group, if (and to the extent that) the sum of (a) the principal payments
comprising the Principal Remittance Amount received during the Due Period and
(b) the Realized Losses, are insufficient to make the necessary reductions of
principal on the Class A and Class B Interests, then interest will be added to
the Loan Group's other Interests that are not receiving Principal Relocation
Payments, in proportion to their principal balances.
vii
(c) The outstanding aggregate Class A and Class B Interests will not be
reduced below 1 percent of the excess of (i) the product of (A) the weighted
average of the Non-A-P Percentages and (ii) the aggregate outstanding
Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans as of the end of any Due Period over
(ii) the Certificate Balance of the Senior Certificates as of the related
Distribution Date (after taking into account distributions of principal on
such Distribution Date).
If (and to the extent that) the limitation in paragraph (c) prevents the
distribution of principal to any of the Class A and Class B Interests, and if
the Loan Group's Class C Interest has already been reduced to zero, then the
excess principal from that Loan Group will be paid to the Class C Interests of
the other Loan Group if the aggregate Class A and Class B Interests of such
Loan Group are less than one percent of the Subordinated Portion. If the Class
C-1 Interest receives such a payment, then the payment will be treated by
Subsidiary REMIC as a Realized Loss. Conversely, if the Class C-2 Interest
receives such a payment, then the payment will be treated by Subsidiary REMIC
as a reimbursement for prior Realized Losses.
The Class SR-1-A-P, Class SR-2-A-P and Class SR-3-A-P Interests will be
allocated the Class A-P Percentage of principal and Realized Losses in respect
of their corresponding Loan Groups.

R-2 Interests) is hereby designated as a REMIC regular interest for federal

For any purpose for which the pass-through rates is calculated, the
interest rate on the Mortgage Loans shall be appropriately adjusted to account
for the difference between the monthly day count convention of the Mortgage

each of the REMICs. For purposes of calculating the pass-through
xi
rates for each of the interests issued by the Subsidiary REMIC and the Master
REMIC such rates shall be adjusted to equal a monthly day count convention
based on a 30 day month for each Due Period and a 360-day year so that the
Mortgage Loans and all regular interests will be using the same monthly day
count convention.

Mortgage Loans.
(a) With respect to the MSMCI Mortgage Loans the Seller hereby makes the
representations and warranties contained in Section 3.01 of the MSMCI Purchase
Agreement to and for the benefit of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust
Fund. With respect to the WaMu Serviced Mortgage Loans the Seller hereby makes
the representations and warranties contained in Exhibit D of the WaMu Purchase
Agreement to and for the benefit of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust
Fund. With respect to each other Mortgage Loan, if the related Mortgaged
Property is located in the State of Florida and such property was damaged
prior to the Closing Date, thereby rendering such Mortgage Loan a Defective
Mortgage Loan and the related Originator fails to perform its obligations with
respect the repurchase or substitution of that Defective Mortgage Loan, the
Seller hereby agrees to repurchase or substitute a Replacement Mortgage Loan
therefor. The Seller agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section 2.05
in respect of a breach of any of such representations and warranties.
The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to
the Mortgage Loans as of the date hereof or such other date set forth herein
that as of the Closing Date:
47
(i) Each Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all material
respects with applicable predatory and abusive lending laws and
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not
involve the violation of any such laws.
(ii) All of the Mortgage Loans were originated in compliance with
all applicable laws, including, but not limited to, all applicable
anti-predatory and abusive lending laws.
(iii) No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as
applicable, and with respect to the foregoing, the terms "High Cost
Loan" and "Covered Loan" have the meaning assigned to them in the
Standard & Poor's LEVELS(R) Version 5.6 Glossary Revised, Appendix E
which is attached hereto as Exhibit Q (the "Glossary") where (x) a "High
Cost Loan" is each loan identified in the column "Category under
applicable anti-predatory lending law" of the table entitled "Standard &
Poor's High Cost Loan Categorization" in the Glossary as each such loan
is defined in the applicable anti-predatory lending law of the State or
jurisdiction specified in such table and (y) a "Covered Loan" is each
loan identified in the column "Category under applicable anti-predatory
lending law" of the table entitled "Standard & Poor's High Covered Loan
Categorization" in the Glossary as each such loan is defined in the
applicable anti-predatory lending law of the State or jurisdiction
specified in such table.
(iv) No Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002
through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act.
Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller or the related Originator or
receipt of written notice of any materially defective document in, or,
following the date of delivery to the Trustee of the Custodian's
certifications as required under the related Custodial Agreements, that a
document is missing from, a Trustee Mortgage File, or discovery by the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller or the related Originator of the breach by
such Originator or Seller of any representation or warranty under the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the Acknowledgement, in the
case of the Originator, or under this Agreement, in the case of the Seller, in
respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of
that Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders (a
"Defective Mortgage Loan") (each of the Depositor, the Seller and the related
Originator hereby agreeing to give written notice thereof to the Trustee and
the other of such parties), the Trustee, or its designee, shall promptly
notify the Depositor and the Seller or the related Originator, as applicable,
in writing of such nonconforming or missing document or breach and request
that the Seller or related Originator deliver such missing document or cure or
cause the cure of such defect or breach within a period of time specified in
the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, and if the Seller or related
Originator, as applicable, does not deliver such missing document or cure such
defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee,
shall enforce the obligations of the related Originator under the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the Acknowledgement, or the
Seller under this Agreement, as applicable, and cause the related Originator
or the Seller, as the case may be, to repurchase that Mortgage Loan from the
Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date
following the expiration of such specified period (subject to Section 2.05(c)
below); provided, however, that, in connection with any such breach that could
not reasonably have been cured within such specified
48
period (unless permitted a greater period of time to cure under the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement), subject to Section 2.05(c) below, if the
related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall have commenced to cure
such breach within such specified period, the related Originator or the Seller
shall be permitted to proceed thereafter diligently and expeditiously to cure
the same within such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure such
breach. To the extent that any costs and damages are incurred by the Trust
Fund as a result of any violation of any applicable federal, state, or local
predatory or abusive lending law arising from or in connection with the
origination of any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the related Originator or the
Seller, such costs and damages shall be included in the Purchase Price of such
repurchased Mortgage Loan and shall be borne by the Seller. The Purchase Price
for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the related
Distribution Account, and the Trustee, or its designee, upon receipt of
written certification from the Securities Administrator of such deposit, shall
release or cause the Custodian to release to the related Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, the related Trustee Mortgage File and shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, representation or warranties, as either party shall furnish to it
and as shall be necessary to vest in such party any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto and the Trustee, or its designee, shall have no further
responsibility with regard to such Trustee Mortgage File (it being understood
that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency
of such assignment for its intended purpose). If pursuant to the foregoing
provisions the related Originator or the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan
that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer shall cause MERS to
designate on the MERS(R) System the related Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, either
party may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which
case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more
Replacement Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 2.05(b) below. It is understood and agreed that the
obligations of the Originators and the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to
substitute for) any related Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a
material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach
has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the
such party respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee
on behalf of the Certificateholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the substitution for a Deleted Mortgage
Loan that is a WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan or the repurchase of a Mortgage
Loan that is a WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan by the Seller or an Originator
shall be subject to, and shall in no way adversely affect, the right of WMMSC
to continue servicing and collecting its Servicing Fee for such Deleted
Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loan, as applicable, pursuant to the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement.
(b) Any substitution of Replacement Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage
Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(b) above must be effected prior to the
last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the related Originator or the Seller
substitutes a Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be
effected by delivering to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for such
Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, any
related assignment thereof and
49
the Acknowledgement to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements,
with all necessary endorsements thereon, together with an Officers'
Certificate stating that each such Replacement Mortgage Loan satisfies the
definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment Amount (as
described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. Monthly
Payments due with respect to Replacement Mortgage Loans in the month of
substitution shall not be included as part of the Trust Fund and shall be
retained by the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable. For the month
of substitution, distributions to the Certificateholders shall reflect the
collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage in the Due
Period preceding the month of substitution and the related Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts
subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. Upon such
substitution, such Replacement Mortgage Loan shall constitute part of the
Trust Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement
and the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the related
Acknowledgement, including all representations and warranties thereof included
in such Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the Acknowledgement,
in each case as of the date of substitution.
For any month in which an Originator or the Seller substitutes one or
more Replacement Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the
related Servicer shall determine the excess (each, a "Substitution Adjustment
Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted
Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Replacement Mortgage Loans replacing such Deleted Mortgage Loans, together
with one month's interest on such excess amount at the applicable Net Mortgage
Rate. On the date of such substitution, the related Originator or Seller, as
applicable, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the related Servicer for
deposit in the related Custodial Account an amount equal to the related
Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and the Custodian, on behalf of the
Trustee, upon receipt of the related Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans and
certification by such Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the related
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the related Trustee Mortgage File or
Files and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as the related Originator or Seller
shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted
Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall
obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution
(either specifically or as a class of transactions) shall not cause an Adverse
REMIC Event. If such Opinion of Counsel cannot be delivered, then such
substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of
Counsel can be given.
(c) Upon discovery by the related Originator, the Seller, the Depositor
or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified
mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party
discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice
thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the applicable party
shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.05(b),
substitute one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage
Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with
respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase or substitution
shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.05(a) above and/or
in accordance with this Section 2.05(c). The Trustee shall re-convey to the
related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the Mortgage Loan to be
released pursuant hereto in the
50
same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan
repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.
Section 2.06 Grant Clause.
(a) It is intended that the conveyance of the Depositor's right, title
and interest in and to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this
Agreement shall constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property
and not a grant of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if such
conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the
rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement; (2) the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates a first priority security
interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired, the Trust Fund and all proceeds of
any and all property constituting the Trust Fund to secure payment of the
Certificates; and (3) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement
under applicable law. If such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan
and the trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction
of the claims of any Person holding any Certificate, 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, and all
proceeds shall be distributed as herein provided.
(b) The Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement,
take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this
Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and
the other property described above, such security interest would be deemed to
be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and
will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The
Depositor will, at its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the
Closing Date and shall forward a copy of such filing or filings to the
Trustee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall
prepare and forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at
the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the
effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the relevant UCC to
perfect the Trustee's security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans,
including without limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) such other
statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of an Originator,
the Depositor or the Trustee, (2) any change of location of the place of
business or the chief executive office of the Seller or the Depositor, (3) any
transfer of any interest of an Originator or the Depositor in any Mortgage
Loan or (4) any change under the relevant UCC or other applicable laws.
Neither the Originators nor the Depositor shall organize under the law of any
jurisdiction other than the State under which each is organized as of the
Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing
under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice
of such action to its immediate and intermediate transferee, including the
Trustee. Before effecting such change, any Originator or the Depositor
proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in
the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements
necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate and
intermediate transferees, including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the
Originators and the Depositor authorizes its immediate or intermediate
transferee (but not the Trustee) to file in any filing office any initial
financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation
statements, or any other statements or filings described in this paragraph (b).

ARTICLE III
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 3.01 The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form only and shall
be securities governed by Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code.
The Book-Entry Certificates will be evidenced by one or more certificates,
beneficial ownership of which will be held in the dollar denominations in
Certificate Balance, or Notional Amount, as applicable, or in the Percentage
Interests, specified herein. Each Class of Certificates will be issued in the
minimum denominations and integral multiples thereof of the initial
Certificate Balance (or Notional Amount) specified in the Preliminary
Statement hereto.
(b) The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer of the Trustee or of the
Securities Administrator on the Trustee's behalf. Each Certificate shall, on
original issue, be authenticated by the Authenticating Agent upon the order of
the Depositor upon receipt by the Trustee of the Trustee Mortgage Files
described in Section 2.01. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on
such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form
provided for herein, executed by an authorized officer of the Authenticating
Agent, by manual signature, and such certification 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. At any time and from time to time after the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor may deliver
Certificates executed by or on behalf of the Trustee to the Authenticating
Agent for authentication and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver such Certificates as in this Agreement provided and not otherwise.
(c) The Class B-4, Class B-5, Class B-6 and Class A-R Certificates
offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration under Rule
144A under the Act shall be issued initially in definitive, fully registered
form without interest coupons with the applicable legends set forth in Exhibit
A added to the forms of such Certificates (each, a "Restricted Global
Security").
Section 3.02 Registration.
The Securities Administrator is hereby appointed, and the Securities
Administrator hereby accepts its appointment as, initial Certificate Registrar
in respect of the Certificates and shall maintain books for the registration
and for the transfer of Certificates (the "Certificate Register"). The Trustee
may appoint a bank or trust company to act as successor Certificate Registrar.
A registration book shall be maintained for the Certificates collectively. The
Certificate Registrar may resign or be discharged or removed and a new
successor may be appointed in accordance with the procedures and requirements
set forth in Sections 6.06 and 6.07 hereof with respect to the resignation,
discharge or removal of the Securities Administrator and the appointment of a
successor Securities Administrator. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by
a written instrument delivered to the Holders and the Master Servicer, any
bank or trust
52
company to act as co-registrar under such conditions as the Certificate
Registrar may prescribe; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar
shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by
reason of such appointment.
Section 3.03 Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) A Certificate (other than Book-Entry Certificates which shall be
subject to Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only
upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the
Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly
executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall
be satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any
Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Securities
Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall execute, and the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one or more new
Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the same
aggregate Certificate Balance (or Notional Amount) as the Certificate being
transferred. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any
registration of transfer of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer of
Certificates.
(b) A Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number
of new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations,
representing in the aggregate the same Certificate Balance (or Notional
Amount) as the Certificate surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to
be exchanged at the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by such Holder
or his duly authorized attorney in such form as is satisfactory to the
Certificate Registrar. Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will
evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and
privileges, as the Certificates surrendered. No service charge shall be made
to a Certificateholder for any exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate
Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of
Certificates. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the
Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall execute, and the
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates
which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(c) By acceptance of a Restricted Certificate, whether upon original
issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Certificate
acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth
thereon and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided
herein.
The following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and
registration of transfer of a Restricted Certificate to a transferee that
takes delivery in the form of a Definitive Certificate:
(i) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a
Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is (x) to the Depositor
or an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the 0000 Xxx) of the
Depositor or (y) being made to a "qualified
53
institutional buyer" (a "QIB") as defined in Rule 144A under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") by a transferor that has
provided the Certificate Registrar with a certificate in the form of
Exhibit H hereto; and
(ii) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a
Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is being made to an
"accredited investor" under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the
Act, or to any Person all of the equity owners in which are such
accredited investors, by a transferor who furnishes to the Certificate
Registrar a letter of the transferee substantially in the form of
Exhibit I hereto.
(d) No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a
Definitive Certificate shall be made to any Person or shall be effective
unless the Certificate Registrar, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (A) a
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto (or Exhibit B, in
the case of a Residual Certificate) from such transferee or (B) an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar to the effect that the
purchase and holding of such a Certificate will not constitute or result in
any nonexempt prohibited transactions under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code and will not subject the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the
Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator to any
obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement; provided,
however, that the Certificate Registrar will not require such certificate or
opinion in the event that, as a result of a change of law or otherwise,
counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar has rendered an opinion to
the effect that the purchase and holding of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate by
a Plan or a Person that is purchasing or holding such a Certificate with the
assets of a Plan will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction
under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the
Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the
Securities Administrator to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in
this Agreement. Each Transferee of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a
Book-Entry Certificate shall be deemed to have made the appropriate
representation set forth in paragraph 2 and the representation set forth in
paragraph 3 of Exhibit J. The preparation and delivery of the certificate and
opinions referred to above shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the
Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the
Securities Administrator.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no opinion or certificate shall be
required for the initial issuance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates to the
Underwriter. The Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to monitor
transfers of Book-Entry Certificates that are ERISA-Restricted Certificates
and shall have no liability for transfers of such Certificates in violation of
the transfer restrictions. The Certificate Registrar shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any
ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
3.03(d) and neither the Securities Administrator nor the Paying Agent shall
have 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
Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing requirements. The
Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be entitled, but not
obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that
was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of a Plan any payments made on
such ERISA-Restricted Certificate at and after such time. Any such payments so
recovered by the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall be
paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator, on behalf of
54
the Trustee, to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not such
a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a Plan.
(e) As a condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any
Certificate, the Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer
identification number of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection
therewith; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall have no
obligation to require such payment or to determine whether or not any such tax
or charge may be applicable. No service charge shall be made to the
Certificateholder for any registration, transfer or exchange of a Certificate.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no
Residual Certificate may be owned, pledged or transferred, directly or
indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified Organization or (ii) an individual,
corporation or partnership or other person unless such person (A) is not a
Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S. Person that holds a Residual Certificate
in connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States
and has furnished the transferor and the Certificate Registrar with an
effective Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or successor form at the time
and in the manner required by the Code (any such person who is not covered by
clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein as a "Non-permitted Foreign
Holder").
Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or
other disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed transferee shall
deliver to the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B representing and warranting, among other things,
that such transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or
nominee acting on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-permitted
Foreign Holder (any such transferee, a "Permitted Transferee"), and the
proposed transferor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. In
addition, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may (but shall have no
obligation to) require, prior to and as a condition of any such transfer, the
delivery by the proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, that such proposed transferee or, if
the proposed transferee is an agent or nominee, the proposed beneficial owner,
is not a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or a
Non-permitted Foreign Holder. Notwithstanding the registration in the
Certificate Register of any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Residual
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee thereof, or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder, such registration shall be deemed to be of no
legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization, agent or
nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be a
Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions on such Residual Certificate. The Depositor and
the Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration or transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified
Organization, agent or nominee thereof or Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for
the Paying Agent making any payments due on such Residual Certificate to the
Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of the Agreement, so long as the transfer was effected in
accordance with this Section 3.03(f), unless the Certificate Registrar shall
have actual knowledge at the time of such transfer or the time of such payment
or other action that the transferee is a Disqualified Organization, or an
agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder. The Certificate
55
Registrar shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual
Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder or any subsequent
time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such Residual Certificate
at and after either such times (and all costs and expenses, including but not
limited to attorneys' fees, incurred in connection therewith). Any payment
(not including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the Certificate
Registrar shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such
Residual Certificate.
If any purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(f),
then upon receipt of written notice to the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar that the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was
not in fact permitted by this Section 3.03(f), the last preceding Permitted
Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to
the date of such registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The
Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(f), or for the
Paying Agent making any payment due on such Certificate to the registered
Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder

the Certificate Registrar or (ii) the Certificate Registrar receives evidence
to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and

in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent
will hold all sums held by it for the payment to the Certificateholders in an
Eligible Account (which shall be the Distribution Account) in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be
paid to the Certificateholders. All funds remitted by the Securities
Administrator to any such Paying Agent for the purpose of making distributions
shall be paid to the Certificateholders on each Distribution Date and any
amounts not so paid shall be returned on such Distribution Date to the
Securities Administrator. If the Paying Agent is not the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, the Securities Administrator shall cause to be
remitted to the Paying Agent on or before the Business Day prior to each
Distribution Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, the funds
to be distributed on such Distribution Date. Any Paying Agent shall be either
a bank or trust company or otherwise authorized under law to exercise
corporate trust powers.
Section 3.09 Book-Entry Certificates.
(a) Each Class of Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall
be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the
Book-Entry Certificates. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be
registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the nominee of the
Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a definitive
certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest in the Book-Entry
Certificates, except as provided in Section 3.09(c). Unless Definitive

effect;
(ii) the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Trustee
shall deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the
making of distributions on the Book-Entry Certificates) as the
authorized representatives of the Certificate Owners and the Clearing
Agency and shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such
distributions to the accounts of such Persons entitled thereto, in
accordance with the Clearing Agency's normal procedures;
(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.09
conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of
this Section 3.09 shall control; and
(iv) the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only
through the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants and
shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such
Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency
Participants. Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued
pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the initial Clearing Agency will make
book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive
and transmit distributions of principal of and interest on the
Book-Entry Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants.
(b) Whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is
required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall
have been issued to
58
Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the Securities Administrator
shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to
Holders of the Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency.
(c) If (i) (A) the Clearing Agency or the Depositor advises the
Certificate Registrar in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing
or able to discharge properly its responsibilities with respect to the
Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified
successor satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar or (ii)
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing
beneficial interests aggregating not less than 50% of the Class Principal
Balance of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates advise the Paying Agent and the
Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer
in the best interests of the Certificate Owners of a Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Clearing Agency to
effect notification to all Certificate Owners, through the Clearing Agency, of
the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive
Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for
registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue the Definitive
Certificates. Neither the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee
shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to
obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency shall be
deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Certificate Registrar, to the
extent applicable, with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the
Certificate Registrar shall recognize the holders of the Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Certificate Registrar, upon the instruction of the Depositor, shall have
the right to issue Definitive Certificates on the Closing Date in connection
with credit enhancement programs.

Class B-3, Class B-2 and Class B-1 Certificates, in that order, pursuant
to Section 5.02(a)(6) hereof.
(2) With respect to Available Funds for Loan Group 2, on each Distribution
Date, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw the Available Funds from the
funds available therefor in the Distribution Account and apply such funds to
distributions on the specified Classes of Group 2 Certificates in the
following order and priority and, in each case, to the extent of Available
Funds remaining:
(i) [Reserved]
(ii) concurrently, to each interest-bearing Class of Group 2
Senior Certificates, an amount allocable to interest equal to the
related Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount, any shortfall being
allocated among such Classes in proportion to the amount of the Class
Optimal Interest Distribution Amount that would have been distributed in
the absence of such shortfall; provided that prior to an Accrual
Termination Date, the related Accrual Amount shall be distributed as
provided in Section 5.02(a)(2)(iii);
(iii) [Reserved];
(iv) to each Class of Group 2 Senior Certificates, concurrently as
follows:
(x) [Reserved]; and
(y) on each Distribution Date prior to the Senior Credit
Support Depletion Date the related Non-A-P Formula Principal
Amount up to the amount of the Senior Principal Distribution
Amount for Loan Group 2 for such Distribution Date will be
distributed to the Class 2-A Certificates, until its Class
Principal Balance is reduced to zero; and
(3) With respect to Available Funds for Loan Group 3, on each Distribution
Date, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw the Available Funds from the
funds available therefor in the Distribution Account and apply such funds to
distributions on the specified Classes of Group 3 Certificates in the
following order and priority and, in each case, to the extent of Available
Funds remaining:
(i) [Reserved];
(ii) concurrently, to each interest-bearing Class of Group 3
Senior Certificates, an amount allocable to interest equal to the
related Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount, any shortfall being
allocated among such Classes in proportion to the amount of the Class

follows:
69
(x) to the Class 3-A-P Certificates, an amount allocable to
the related A-P Formula Principal Amount, up to the
outstanding Class Principal Balance thereof; and
(y) on each Distribution Date prior to the Senior Credit
Support Depletion Date the related Non-A-P Formula Principal
Amount up to the amount of the Senior Principal Distribution
Amount for Loan Group 3 for such Distribution Date will be
distributed to the Class 3-A Certificates until its Class
Principal Balance is reduced to zero; and
(v) to the Class 3-A-P Certificates, in an amount up to the Class
A-P Deferred Amount, from amounts otherwise distributable (without
regard to this Section 5.02(a)(3)(v)) sequentially, to the Class B-6,
Class B-5, Class B-4, Class B-3, Class B-2 and Class B-1 Certificates,
in that order, pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(6) hereof.
(4) On each Distribution Date, after making the distributions described in
Section 5.02(a)(1), Section 5.02(a)(2) and Section 5.02(a)(3) above, Available
Funds from each Loan Group after making the distributions described in Section
5.02(a)(1), Section 5.02(a)(2) and Section 5.02(a)(3) will be distributed to
the Senior Certificates to the extent provided in Section 5.08 hereof.
(6) On each Distribution Date, Available Funds from all of the Loan Groups
remaining after making the distributions described in Section 5.02(a)(1),
Section 5.02(a)(2), Section 5.02(a)(3) and Section 5.02(a)(4) above, will be
distributed to the Subordinated Certificates and the Class A-R Certificates in
the following order and priority and, in each case, to the extent of such
funds remaining:
(A) to the Class B-1 Certificates, an amount allocable to interest
equal to the Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for such Class
for such Distribution Date;
(B) to the Class B-1 Certificates, an amount allocable to
principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date until
the Class Principal Balance thereof is reduced to zero;
(C) to the Class B-2 Certificates, an amount allocable to interest

for such Distribution Date;
(D) to the Class B-2 Certificates, an amount allocable to
principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date until
the Class Principal Balance thereof is reduced to zero;
(E) to the Class B-3 Certificates, an amount allocable to interest
equal to the amount of the Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount
for such Class for such Distribution Date;
(F) to the Class B-3 Certificates, an amount allocable to
principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date until
the Class Principal Balance thereof is reduced to zero;
70
(G) to the Class B-4 Certificates, an amount allocable to interest
equal to the amount of the Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount
for such Class for such Distribution Date;
(H) to the Class B-4 Certificates, an amount allocable to
principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date until

(L) to the Class B-6 Certificates, an amount allocable to
principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date until
the Class Principal Balance thereof is reduced to zero; and
(M) to the Class A-R Certificates, any remaining funds in the
Trust Fund; provided, however, that such amounts shall not include the
$100 held in trust for the Class P Certificate.
On each Distribution Date, all amounts representing Prepayment Penalties
received by the Securities Administrator with respect to the related
Prepayment Period will be distributed to the holders of the Class P
Certificates. On the Distribution Date in August 2009, the $100 held in trust
for the Class P Certificates will be distributed to the holders of the Class P
Certificates.
On any Distribution Date, amounts distributed in respect of Class A-P
Deferred Amounts will not reduce the Class Principal Balance of the related
Class of Class A-P Certificates.
On any Distribution Date, to the extent the Amount Available for Senior
Principal related to a Loan Group is insufficient to make the full
distribution required to be made pursuant to subclause (iv)(x) above, (A) the
amount distributable on the related Class of Class A-P Certificates in respect
of principal pursuant to such subclause (iv)(x) shall be equal to the product
of (1) the Amount Available for Senior Principal for that Loan Group and
Distribution Date and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the A-P
Formula Principal Amount for that Loan Group and Distribution Date and the
denominator of which is the sum of the A-P Formula Principal Amount and the
Senior Principal Distribution Amount for that Loan Group and Distribution Date
and (B) the amount distributable on the Senior Certificates, other than the
related Class of Class A-P Certificates, in respect of principal pursuant to
clause (iv)(y) shall be equal to the product of (1) the Amount Available for
Senior Principal for that Loan Group and Distribution Date and (2) a fraction,
the numerator of which is the Senior Principal Distribution Amount for
71
that Loan Group and Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the sum
of the Senior Principal Distribution Amount and the A-P Formula Principal
Amount for that Loan Group and Distribution Date.
(b) On each Distribution Date with respect to each Class or Component of
Accrual Certificates, the Accrual Amount for such Class or Component for such
Distribution Date shall not (except as provided in the second to last sentence
in this paragraph) be distributed as interest with respect to such Class or
Component of Accrual Certificates, but shall instead be added to the related
Class Principal Balance of such Class on the related Distribution Date. With
respect to any Distribution Date on which principal payments on any Class or
Component of Accrual Certificates are distributed pursuant to Section
5.02(a)(1)(iv)(y), Section 5.02(a)(2)(iv)(y) or Section 5.02(a)(3)(iv)(y), as
applicable, the related Accrual Amount shall be deemed to have been added on
such Distribution Date to the related Class Principal Balance or Component
Balance (and included in the amount distributable on the related Class or
Classes or Component of Accretion Directed Certificates pursuant to Section
5.02(a)(1)(iii), Section 5.02(a)(2)(iii) or Section 5.02(a)(3)(iii), as
applicable, for such Distribution Date) and the related distribution thereon
shall be deemed to have been applied concurrently towards the reduction of all
or a portion of the amount so added and, to the extent of any excess, towards
the reduction of the Class Principal Balance or Component Balance of such
Class or Component of Accrual Certificates immediately prior to such
Distribution Date.
(c) On each Distribution Date on or after the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, notwithstanding the allocation and priorities set forth in
Section 5.02(a)(1)(iv)(y), the portion of Available Funds available to be
distributed as principal of the Senior Certificates of Loan Group 1 (other
than the Class 1-A-P Certificates) shall be distributed concurrently, as
principal, on such Classes, pro rata, on the basis of their respective Class
Principal Balances, until the Class Principal Balances thereof are reduced to
zero.
(d) On each Distribution Date, the amount referred to in clause (i) of
the definition of Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for each Class of
Certificates for such Distribution Date shall be reduced for each Class of
Senior Certificates of a Senior Certificate Group and each Class of
Subordinated Certificates by (i) the related Class' pro rata share of Net
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for such Loan Group based (x) with respect to a
Class of Senior Certificates, on the related Class Optimal Interest
Distribution Amount and (y) with respect to a Class of Subordinated
Certificates on or prior to the second Senior Termination Date on the Assumed
Interest Amount and on or after such Senior Termination Date, the related
Class' Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date,
without taking into account such Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and (ii)
the related Class' Allocable Share of (A) after the Special Hazard Coverage
Termination Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan in the related Loan Group
(or, after the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, any Mortgage Loan) that
became a Special Hazard Mortgage Loan during the calendar month preceding the
month of such Distribution Date, the excess of one month's interest at the
related Net Mortgage Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage
Loan as of the Due Date in such month over the amount of Liquidation Proceeds
applied as interest on such Mortgage Loan with respect to such month, (B)
after the Bankruptcy Coverage Termination Date, with respect to each Mortgage
Loan that became subject to a Bankruptcy Loss during the calendar month
preceding the month of such Distribution Date, the interest portion of the
related Debt Service Reduction or Deficient
72
Valuation, (C) each Relief Act Shortfall for the Mortgage Loans in the related
Loan Group (or, after the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, any Mortgage
Loan) incurred during the calendar month preceding the month of such
Distribution Date and (D) after the Fraud Loss Coverage Termination Date, with
respect to each Mortgage Loan in the related Loan Group (or, after the Senior
Credit Support Depletion Date, any Mortgage Loan) that became a Fraud Loan
during the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, the
excess of one month's interest at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the Stated
Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in such month over
the amount of Liquidation Proceeds applied as interest on such Mortgage Loan
with respect to such month.
(e) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation contained in Section
5.02(a)(6), if, on any Distribution Date, with respect to any Class of
Subordinated Certificates (other than the Class of Subordinated Certificates
then outstanding with the highest priority of distribution), the sum of the
related Class Subordination Percentages of such Class and of all Classes of
Subordinated Certificates that have a higher numerical Class designation than
such Class (the "Applicable Credit Support Percentage") is less than the
Original Applicable Credit Support Percentage for such Class, no distribution
of Principal Prepayments will be made to any such Classes (the "Restricted
Classes") and the amount of such Principal Prepayments otherwise distributable
to the Restricted Classes shall be distributed to any Classes of Subordinated
Certificates having lower numerical Class designations than such Class, pro
rata, based on their respective Class Principal Balances immediately prior to
such Distribution Date and shall be distributed in the sequential order
provided in Section 5.02(a)(6).
(f) If the amount of a Realized Loss on a Mortgage Loan has been reduced
by application of Subsequent Recoveries with respect to such Mortgage Loan,
the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied sequentially, in the
order of payment priority, to increase the Class Principal Balance of each
Class of Certificates to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but in
each case by not more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated
to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 5.04. Holders of such
Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of the Class
Optimal Interest Distribution Amount on the amount of such increases for any
Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase
occurs. Any such increases shall be applied pro rata to the Certificate
Balance of each Certificate of such Class.
Section 5.03 [Reserved].
Section 5.04 Allocation of Losses.
(a) On or prior to each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator
shall aggregate the information provided by each Servicer with respect to the
total amount of Realized Losses, including Excess Losses, experienced on the
Mortgage Loans for the related Distribution Date.
(b) Realized Losses with respect to any Distribution Date shall be
allocated as follows:
73
(i) the applicable A-P Percentage of any Realized Loss, including
any Excess Loss, on a Mortgage Loan in a Loan Group shall be allocated
to the related Class of Class A-P Certificates, until the Class
Principal Balance thereof is reduced to zero; and
(ii) (A) the applicable Non-A-P Percentage of any Realized Loss
(other than an Excess Loss) shall be allocated first to the Subordinated
Certificates in reverse order of their respective numerical Class
designations (beginning with the Class of Subordinated Certificates then
outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation) until the
respective Class Principal Balance of each such Class is reduced to
zero, and second to the Senior Certificates (other than the Class 1-A-P,
Class 3-A-P, Class 1-A-X or Class 3-A-X Certificates, as applicable),
pro rata on the basis of their respective Class Principal Balances or,
in the case of any Class of Accrual Certificates or Accrual Component,
on the basis of the lesser of their Class Principal Balance or Component
Balance, as applicable, and their initial Class Principal Balance or
Component Balance, as applicable, in each case immediately prior to the
related Distribution Date until the respective Class Principal Balance
of each such Class is reduced to zero; provided, that any Realized
Losses (other than an Excess Loss) on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1
otherwise allocable to the Class 1-A-14 or Class 1-A-15 Certificates
shall be allocated to the Class 1-A-8 Certificates, until its Class
Principal Balance is reduced to zero; and
(B) the applicable Non-A-P Percentage of any Excess Losses on the
Mortgage Loans in a Loan Group shall be allocated to the Classes of
Certificates of the related Senior Certificate Group (other than the
Class 1-A-P, Class 3-A-P, Class 1-A-X or Class 3-A-X Certificates, as
applicable) and the Subordinated Certificates then outstanding, pro
rata, on the basis of, with respect to such Senior Certificates, their
respective Class Principal Balances, or in the case of any Class of
Accrual Certificates or Accrual Component, on the basis of the lesser of
their respective Class Principal Balance and their respective initial
Class Principal Balance or their respective Component Balance or their
respective initial Component Balance, as the case may be, in each case
immediately prior to the related Distribution Date and, with respect to
each Class of Subordinated Certificates, the applicable Assumed Balance
for each such Class relating to the Loan Group in which such Realized
Loss occurs; provided, however, on any Distribution Date after the
second Senior Termination Date for a Senior Certificate Group, such
Excess Losses on the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group will be
allocated to the Subordinated Certificates on the basis of their
respective Class Principal Balances; and provided further that after the
Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, such Excess Losses shall be
allocated pro rata to all Classes and Components of Senior Certificates
(other than the Class 1-A-P, Class 3-A-P, Class 1-A-X or Class 3-A-X
Certificates, as applicable) regardless of Senior Certificate Group on
the basis of their respective initial Class Principal Balances or
Component Balances, as applicable, or in the case of any or in the case
of any Class of Accrual Certificates or Accrual Component, on the basis
of the lesser of their respective Class Principal Balance and their
respective initial Class Principal Balance or their respective Component
Balance or their respective initial Component Balance, as the case may
be, in each case immediately prior to the related Distribution Date.
74
(c) The Class Principal Balance of the Class of Subordinated
Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation
shall be reduced on each Distribution Date by the sum of (i) the amount of any
payments on each Class of Class A-P Certificates in respect of related Class
A-P Deferred Amounts and (ii) the amount, if any, by which the aggregate of
the Class Principal Balances of all outstanding Classes of Certificates (after
giving effect to the distribution of principal and the allocation of Realized
Losses and Class A-P Deferred Amounts on such Distribution Date) exceeds the
sum of the Pool Stated Principal Balance for the following Distribution Date.
(d) Any Realized Loss allocated to a Class of Certificates or any
reduction in the Class Principal Balance of a Class of Certificates pursuant
to Section 5.04(b) above shall be allocated among the Certificates of such
Class in proportion to their respective Certificate Balances.
(e) Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Certificate or to any
Component or any reduction in the Certificate Balance of a Certificate,
pursuant to Section 5.04(b) above shall be accomplished by reducing the
Certificate Balance or Component Balance thereof, as applicable, immediately
following the distributions made on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with the definition of "Certificate Balance" or "Component
Balance," as the case may be. All Realized Losses or Excess Losses allocated
to a Class of Component Certificates will be allocated, pro rata, to the
related Components.
(f) For the avoidance of doubt, no Realized Losses shall be allocated to
the Class P Certificates.
Section 5.05 Advances by the Master Servicer and by WMMSC.
(a) If any Servicer other than WMMSC fails to remit any Advance required
to be made under the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall itself make, or shall cause the successor Servicer to make,
such Advance. If the Master Servicer determines that an Advance is required,
it shall on the Business Day preceding the related Distribution Date
immediately following such Determination Date remit to the Securities
Administrator from its own funds (or funds advanced by the applicable
Servicer) for deposit in the Distribution Account immediately available funds
in an amount equal to such Advance. The Master Servicer and each Servicer
(including WMMSC) shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all Advances made by
it. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Master
Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that an Advance is
non-recoverable, the Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to make such
Advance. If the Master Servicer determines that an Advance is non-recoverable,
it shall, on or prior to the related Distribution Date, deliver an Officer's
Certificate to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to such effect.
For the avoidance of doubt the Master Servicer is not required to make any
Advance with respect to the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans.
(b) With respect to the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans, WMMSC shall
deposit in the related Custodial Account as Advances an amount equal to all
Scheduled Payments (with interest at the Mortgage Rate less the related
Servicing Fee Rate) which were due on such Mortgage Loans serviced by it
during the applicable Due Period and which were delinquent at
75
the close of business on the immediately preceding Determination Date. WMMSC's
obligation to make such Advances as to any related Mortgage Loan will continue
through the last Scheduled Payment due prior to the payment in full of such
Mortgage Loan, or through the date that the related Mortgaged Property has, in
the judgment of WMMSC, been completely liquidated. WMMSC shall not be required
to advance shortfalls of principal or interest resulting from the application
of the Relief Act.
With respect to any WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the extent required
by Accepted Servicing Practices, WMMSC shall be obligated to make Advances in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that such
obligation with respect to any such WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan shall cease
if WMMSC determines, in its reasonable opinion, that Advances with respect to
such Mortgage Loan are or, if made, would constitute Nonrecoverable Advances.
In the event that WMMSC determines that any such Advances are or, if made,
would constitute Nonrecoverable Advances, WMMSC shall provide the Securities
Administrator with a certificate signed by a Servicing Officer evidencing such
determination.
With respect to any of the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans, if an Advance
is required to be made hereunder by WMMSC, WMMSC shall on the Distribution
Account Deposit Date either (i) deposit in the Custodial Account from its own
funds an amount equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate
entry in the records of the Custodial Account that funds in such account being
held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this
Section 5.05(b), used by WMMSC to make such Advance or (iii) make Advances in
the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of
such Advance. Any such funds being held in a Custodial Account for future
distribution and so used shall be replaced by WMMSC from its own funds by
deposit in such Custodial Account on or before any future Distribution Date in
which such funds would be due.
Section 5.06 Compensating Interest Payments.
The amount of compensation payable to the Securities Administrator in
respect of the Master Serviced Mortgage Loans and any Distribution Date shall
be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of any aggregate Compensating
Interest Payment from the Servicers (other than WMMSC) for such Distribution
Date, but only to the extent that Prepayment Interest Shortfalls relating to
such Distribution Date are required to be paid by the Servicers (other than
WMMSC) pursuant to the Purchase and Servicing Agreements, as amended by the
Acknowledgements, but are not actually paid by the Servicer. Such amount shall
not be treated as an Advance and shall not be reimbursable.
Section 5.07 [Reserved].
Section 5.08 Cross-Collateralization; Adjustments to Available Funds.
(a) On each Distribution Date after the first Senior Termination Date
but prior to the earlier of the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date and the
second Senior Termination Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute
the principal portion of Available Funds on the Mortgage Loans relating to the
Senior Certificates that will have been paid in full to the holders of the
Senior Certificates of the other Certificate Groups.
76
(b) If on any Distribution Date the aggregate Class Principal Balance of
the Senior Certificates of a Senior Certificate Group (other than any related
Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component thereof) after giving effect to
distributions to be made on that Distribution Date, is greater than the
Non-A-P Pool Balance for that Loan Group (any such group, an
"Undercollateralized Group"), all amounts otherwise distributable as principal
to the Subordinated Certificates (or, following the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, the amounts described in the following sentence) will be
distributed as principal to the Senior Certificates of that
Undercollateralized Group (other than any related Class of Class A-P
Certificates or Component thereof) until the aggregate Class Principal Balance
of the Senior Certificate Group (other than any related Class of Class A-P
Certificates or Component thereof) of the Undercollateralized Group equals the
Non-A-P Pool Balance for that Loan Group (such distribution, an
"Undercollateralization Distribution"). If a Senior Certificate Group (other
than any related Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component thereof)
constitutes an Undercollateralized Group on any Distribution Date following
the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, Undercollateralization Distributions
will be made from the excess of Available Funds for the other Loan Groups
remaining after all required amounts for that Distribution Date have been
distributed to those Senior Certificate Groups (other than any related Class
of Class A-P Certificates or Component thereof). If more than one
Undercollateralized Group on any Distribution Date is entitled to an
Undercollateralization Distribution, such Undercollateralization Distribution
will be allocated among the Undercollateralized Groups, pro rata, based upon
the amount by which the aggregate Class Principal Balance of each Class of
Senior Certificates in such Senior Certificate Group (other than any related
Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component thereof) exceeds the sum of the
Non-A-P Balances for the related Undercollateralized Group. If more than one
Senior Certificate Group on any Distribution Date is required to make an
Undercollateralization Distribution to an Undercollateralized Group, the
payment of such Undercollateralization Distributions will be allocated among
such Senior Certificate Groups (other than any related Class of Class A-P
Certificates or Component thereof), pro rata, based upon the aggregate excess
of Available Funds for the Senior Certificate Groups other than the
Undercollateralized Group remaining after all required amounts for that
Distribution Date have been distributed to those Senior Certificates.
(c) On each Distribution Date after the first Senior Termination Date
but prior to the earlier of the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date and the
third Senior Termination Date, the Non-A-P Formula Principal Amount for the
Loan Group relating to the Senior Certificate Group that has been paid in
full, will be distributed to the other Senior Certificate Groups (other than
any related Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component thereof), so that
each remaining Senior Certificate Group receives its pro rata portion thereof.
If principal from one Loan Group is distributed to the Senior Certificate
Groups (other than any related Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component
thereof) that are not related to that Loan Group according to this paragraph,
the Subordinated Certificates will not receive that principal as a
distribution.
Section 5.09 Determination of Pass-Through Rates for LIBOR Certificates.
(a) On each Interest Determination Date so long as any LIBOR
Certificates are outstanding, the Securities Administrator will determine
LIBOR on the basis of the British Bankers' Association ("BBA") "Interest
Settlement Rate" for one-month deposits in U.S. dollars as found on Telerate
page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. London time on each LIBOR Determination
77
Date. "Telerate Page 3750" means the display page currently so designated on
the Moneyline Telerate Service (formerly the Dow Xxxxx Markets) (or such other
page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying
comparable rates or prices).
(b) If on any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR cannot be determined as
provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 5.09, the Securities Administrator
shall either (i) request each Reference Bank to inform the Securities
Administrator of the quotation offered by its principal London office for
making one-month United States dollar deposits in leading banks in the London
interbank market, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Interest
Determination Date or (ii) in lieu of making any such request, rely on such
Reference Bank quotations that appear at such time on the Reuters Screen LIBO
Page (as defined in the International Swap Dealers Association Inc. Code of
Standard Wording, Assumptions and Provisions for Swaps, 1986 Edition), to the
extent available. LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period will be
established by the Securities Administrator on each interest Determination
Date as follows:
(i) If on any Interest Determination Date two or more Reference
Banks provide such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next applicable
Interest Accrual Period shall be the arithmetic mean of such offered
quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean upwards if necessary to the
nearest whole multiple of 1/32%).
(ii) If on any Interest Determination Date only one or none of the
Reference Banks provides such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next
Interest Accrual Period shall be whichever is the higher of (i) LIBOR as
determined on the previous Interest Determination Date or (ii) the
Reserve Interest Rate. The "Reserve Interest Rate" shall be the rate per
annum which the Securities Administrator determines to be either (i) the
arithmetic mean (rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest whole
multiple of 1/32%) of the one-month United States dollar lending rates
that New York City banks selected by the Securities Administrator are
quoting, on the relevant Interest Determination Date, to the principal
London offices of at least two of the Reference Banks to which such
quotations are, in the opinion of the Securities Administrator, being so
made, or (ii) in the event that the Securities Administrator can
determine no such arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month United States
dollar lending rate which New York City banks selected by the Securities
Administrator are quoting on such Interest Determination Date to leading
European banks.
(iii) If on any Interest Determination Date the Securities
Administrator is required but is unable to determine the Reserve
Interest Rate in the manner provided in paragraph (b) above, LIBOR for
the related Classes of Certificates shall be LIBOR as determined on the
preceding applicable Interest Determination Date or in the case of the
first Interest Determination Date, 1.625%.
Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Securities
Administrator will at all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the
purpose of determining LIBOR with respect to each Interest Determination Date.
The Securities Administrator initially shall designate the Reference Banks.
Each "Reference Bank" shall be a leading bank engaged in transactions in
Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurocurrency market, shall not
control, be controlled by, or be under common control with, the Securities
Administrator and shall have an established
78
place of business in London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or
unable to act as such or if the Master Servicer should terminate its
appointment as Reference Bank, the Securities Administrator shall promptly
appoint or cause to be appointed another Reference Bank. The Securities
Administrator shall have no liability or responsibility to any Person for (i)
the selection of any Reference Bank for purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii)
any inability to retain at least four Reference Banks which is caused by
circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
(c) The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each
Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Securities Administrator on
each Interest Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates are
outstanding on the basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in
footnotes corresponding to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to the
Certificates in the Preliminary Statement.
(d) In determining LIBOR, any Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR
Certificates, any Interest Settlement Rate, or any Reserve Interest Rate, the
Securities Administrator may conclusively rely and shall be protected in
relying upon the offered quotations (whether written, oral or on the Dow Xxxxx
Markets) from the BBA designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York
City banks as to LIBOR, the Interest Settlement Rate or the Reserve Interest
Rate, as appropriate, in effect from time to time. The Securities
Administrator shall not have any liability or responsibility to any Person for
(i) the selection of New York City banks for purposes of determining any
Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its inability, following a good-faith reasonable
effort, to obtain such quotations from, the BBA designated banks, the
Reference Banks or the New York City banks or to determine such arithmetic

ARTICLE VI
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND
THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR; EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 6.01 Duties of Trustee and the Securities Administrator.
(a) The Trustee, except during the continuance of an Event of Default,
and the Securities Administrator undertakes to perform such duties and only
such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Any permissive
right of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator provided for in this
Agreement shall not be construed as a duty of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator. If an Event of Default has occurred and has not otherwise been
cured or waived, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator 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,
unless the Trustee is acting as master servicer, in which case it shall use
the same degree of care and skill (in its capacity as successor Master
Servicer) as a master servicer hereunder.
(b) Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt
of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents,
orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they are
in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the
Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy
or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report,
document, order or other instrument furnished by the Master Servicer or any
Servicer to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant to this
Agreement, and shall not be required to recalculate or verify any numerical
information furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant
to this Agreement. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, if any such
resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other
instrument is found not to conform to the form required by this Agreement in a
material manner the Securities Administrator shall take such action as it
deems appropriate to cause the instrument to be corrected, and if the
instrument is not corrected to the Securities Administrator 's satisfaction,
the Securities Administrator will provide notice thereof to the
Certificateholders and will, at the expense of the Trust Fund, which expense
shall be reasonable given the scope and nature of the required action, take
such further action as directed by the Certificateholders.
(c) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any
liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, except for its
negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
liable for special, indirect or consequential losses or damages of any kind
whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits). No provision of this
Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
80
(i) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates as provided in
Section 6.18 hereof;
(ii) For all purposes under this Agreement, the Trustee shall not
be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written
notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the
Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice
references the Holders of the Certificates and this Agreement;
(iii) For all purposes under this Agreement, the Securities
Administrator shall not be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default
(other than resulting from a failure by the Master Servicer or WMMSC (i)
to remit funds (or to make Advances) or (ii) to furnish information to
the Securities Administrator when required to do so) or any default or
event of default under the WMMSC Purchase and Servicing Agreement unless
a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administrator has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact
such a default is received by the Securities Administrator at the
address provided in Section 11.07, and such notice references the
Holders of the Certificates and this Agreement;
(iv) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if
it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or
liability is not reasonably assured to it; and none of the provisions
contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator to perform, or be responsible for the
manner of performance of, any of the respective obligations of the
Master Servicer and WMMSC under this Agreement;
(v) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
responsible for any act or omission of the Master Servicer, WMMSC, the
Depositor, the Seller, any Servicer or any Custodian.
(d) 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 Master Servicer or
WMMSC, as applicable, upon receipt any such complaint, claim, demand, notice
or other document (i) which is delivered to the Corporate Trust Office of 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 relates is a
Mortgaged Property related to a Mortgage Loan.
(e) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
Certificateholders of any Class holding Certificates which evidence, as
81
to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% as to the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or exercising any trust or
power conferred upon the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, under this Agreement or the Acknowledgements.
(f) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
required to perform services under this Agreement, or to expend or risk its
own funds or otherwise incur financial liability for the performance of any of
its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or powers if there
is reasonable ground for believing that the timely payment of its fees and
expenses or the repayment of such funds or indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none
of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, to perform, or be
responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the
Master Servicer or any Servicer under this Agreement or any Purchase and
Servicing Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be
the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges
of, the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Securities Administrator shall have any duty (A) to see to any recording,

any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security
interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or
depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B)
to see to any insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax,
assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any
kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust
Fund other than from funds available in the Distribution Account, or (D) to
confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Master
Servicer or any Servicer delivered to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as applicable, to be genuine and to have been signed
or presented by the proper party or parties.
(i) Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be liable
in its individual capacity for an error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer or other officers of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator, as applicable, was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts.
(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither
the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be liable for special,
indirect or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including,
but not limited to, lost profits), even if the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, has been advised of the likelihood of such loss
or damage and regardless of the form of action.
82
(k) Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be
responsible for the acts or omissions of the other, it being understood that
this Agreement shall not be construed to render them agents of one another, or
of any Servicer.

holding title to, foreclosing or otherwise taking action with respect to any
Mortgage Loan outside the state where the Trustee
87
has its principal place of business where such separate trustee or co-trustee
is necessary or advisable (or the Trustee has been advised by the Master
Servicer that such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable)
under the laws of any state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is
located or for the purpose of otherwise conforming to any legal requirement,
restriction or condition in any state in which a property securing a Mortgage
Loan is located or in any state in which any portion of the Trust Fund is
located. The separate Trustees, co-trustees, or custodians so appointed shall
be trustees or custodians for the benefit of all the Certificateholders and
shall have such powers, rights and remedies as shall be specified in the
instrument of appointment; provided, however, that no such appointment shall,
or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an agent of the Trustee. The

hereof shall not be affected or assigned by the appointment of a co-trustee.
(b) Every separate trustee, co-trustee, and custodian shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following
provisions and conditions:
(i) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the
Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of moneys shall
be exercised solely by the Trustee;
(ii) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee,
co-trustee, or custodian jointly, except to the extent that under any

performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform

obligations, including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any
portion thereof in any such jurisdiction, shall be exercised and
performed by such separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian;
(iii) no trustee or custodian hereunder shall be personally liable
by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee or custodian
hereunder; and
(iv) the Trustee may at any time, by an instrument in writing
executed by it, with the concurrence of the Depositor, accept the
resignation of or remove any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian,
so appointed by it or them, if such resignation or removal does not
violate the other terms of this Agreement.
(c) 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, co-trustee or custodian shall refer to this
Agreement and the conditions of this Article VI. 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

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

trustee, co-trustee or custodian 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.

required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section
6.05 hereunder and no notice to the Certificateholders of the appointment

(f) The Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee agrees to
instruct the co-trustees, if any, to the extent necessary to fulfill the
Trustee's obligations hereunder.
(g) The Trust shall pay the reasonable compensation of the co-trustees
(which compensation shall not reduce any compensation payable to the Trustee
under such Section).
Section 6.10 Authenticating Agents.
(a) The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents which
shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating
Certificates. The Securities Administrator is hereby appointed as initial
Authenticating Agent, and the Securities Administrator accepts such
appointment. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the
authentication of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of
authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on
behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of
authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.
Each Authenticating Agent must be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such
laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authorities.

converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from
any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of
any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
(c) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least
30 days' advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the
Depositor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any
Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such
Authenticating Agent and the Depositor. Upon receiving a notice of resignation
or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section
6.10, the Trustee may appoint a successor authenticating agent, shall give
written notice of such appointment to the Depositor and shall mail notice of
such appointment to all Holders of Certificates. Any successor authenticating
89
agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with
all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent. No
successor authenticating agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section 6.10. No Authenticating Agent shall have
responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the
direction of the Trustee.
Section 6.11 Indemnification of the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator.
The Trustee and the Securities Administrator and their respective
directors, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to indemnification
from the Trust Fund for any loss, liability or expense (including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents or
counsel), 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 under the Custodial Agreements, the Purchase and
Servicing Agreements or Acknowledgements or in connection with the performance
of their duties hereunder or thereunder including 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 or thereunder, provided
that:
(i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, shall have given the Depositor written
notice thereof promptly after the Trustee, the Securities Administrator,
as applicable, shall have knowledge thereof;
(ii) while maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall cooperate and
consult fully with the Depositor in preparing such defense; and
(iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
6.11, the Trust Fund shall not be liable for settlement of any such
claim by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable,
entered into without the prior consent of the Depositor, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive any termination of
this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, and shall be construed to include, but not be
limited to any loss, liability or expense under any environmental law.
Section 6.12 Fees and Expenses of Securities Administrator and the
Trustee.
(a) Compensation for the services of the Master Servicer for its duties
hereunder with respect to the Master Serviced Mortgage Loans shall be paid by

holding more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the
Certificates; or
(ix) After receipt of notice from the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, any failure of the Master Servicer to make any Advances

(vii) any failure of WMMSC to make any Advance in the manner and
at the time required to be made from its own funds pursuant to this

time, on the Business Day immediately following WMMSC's receipt of such
notice.
If an Event of Default due to the actions or inaction of WMMSC described
in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and
every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been
remedied, the Securities Administrator may, or at the direction of the Holders
of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interests evidenced
by the Certificates shall, by notice in writing to WMMSC (with a copy to the

WMMSC Purchase and Servicing Agreement and succeed to the rights and
obligations of WMMSC hereunder and under the WMMSC Purchase and Servicing
94
Agreement, including the obligation to make Advances on such succeeding
Distribution Date pursuant to the terms hereof.
If any Event of Default under I. or II. shall occur, the Trustee, upon a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee becoming aware of the occurrence thereof,
shall promptly notify the Securities Administrator and each Rating Agency of
the nature and extent of such Event of Default. The Securities Administrator
shall immediately give written notice to the Master Servicer or WMMSC upon the
respective failure of the Master Servicer or WMMSC to make Advances as
required under this Agreement with a copy to the Trustee.
(b) On and after the time the Master Servicer or WMMSC receives a notice
of termination from the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, pursuant to Section 6.14(a) or the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, receives the resignation of the Master Servicer
or WMMSC evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 9.06, the
Trustee, unless another master servicer shall have been appointed, shall be
the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer, and the Securities
Administrator shall be the successor (or appoint a successor) to WMMSC, as
applicable, in its capacity as such under this Agreement (and, in the case, of
WMMSC, the related Purchase and Servicing Agreements) and the transactions set
forth or provided for herein and shall have all the rights and powers and be
subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto
and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable,
hereunder, including the obligation to make any related Advances; provided,
however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by
the failure of the Master Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, to provide
information required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, hereunder. In
addition, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator, as applicable,
shall have any responsibility for any act or omission of the Master Servicer
or WMMSC, as applicable, prior to the issuance of any notice of termination.
Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall
have any liability relating to the respective representations and warranties
of the Master Servicer and WMMSC set forth in Section 9.03. In the capacity as
such successor, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable,
shall have the same respective limitations on liability herein granted to the
Master Servicer and to WMMSC, as applicable. As compensation for being the
successor master servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive all
compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement. As
compensation for being the successor servicer with respect to the WMMSC
Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to
receive all compensation payable to WMMSC under this Agreement, including the
applicable Servicing Fee, commencing upon the date on which the Securities
Administrator (or any other successor Servicer) contractually undertakes
WMMSC's duties hereunder (including the date on which the Securities
Administrator (or other successor Servicer) makes any Advance). Any successor
to the Master Servicer hereunder also may assume the obligations of the
Securities Administrator hereunder and as successor in such capacity shall be
entitled to the compensation payable to the Securities Administrator pursuant
to Section 4.02 hereof from and after the date of such assumption.
(c) Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, may, if it shall be unwilling to continue to so
act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, or appoint on its own behalf any established
95
housing and home finance institution servicer, master servicer, servicing or
mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000
and meeting such other standards for a successor master servicer or servicer,
as applicable, as are set forth in this Agreement, as the successor to such
Master Servicer or to WMMSC, as applicable, in the assumption of all of the
respective responsibilities, duties or liabilities of, (x) with respect to
replacing the Master Servicer, a master servicer, like the Master Servicer and
(y) with respect to replacing WMMSC, a servicer, like WMMSC. Any entity
designated by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, as a
successor master servicer or successor servicer, as applicable, may be an
Affiliate of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable;
provided, however, that, unless such Affiliate meets the net worth
requirements and other standards set forth herein for a successor master
servicer, the Trustee, in its individual capacity shall agree, at the time of
such designation, to be and remain liable to the Trust Fund for such
Affiliate's actions and omissions in performing its duties hereunder. In
connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, may make such arrangements for the compensation
of such successor out of payments on the related Mortgage Loans as it and such
successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be
in excess of that permitted to the Master Servicer or to WMMSC, as applicable,
hereunder. The Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, and
such successor shall take such actions, consistent with this Agreement, as
shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession and may make other
arrangements with respect to the servicing to be conducted hereunder which are
not inconsistent herewith. Each of the Master Servicer and WMMSC shall
cooperate with the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, and
any successor master servicer or servicer in effecting the termination of
their respective responsibilities and rights hereunder including, without
limitation, notifying the Servicer or the related Mortgagors of the assignment
of the master servicing or servicing functions and providing the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator, as applicable, and successor master servicer or
successor servicer, as applicable, all documents and records in electronic or
other form reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Master
Servicer's or WMMSC's respective functions hereunder and the transfer to the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, or such successor all
amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited (x) by the
Master Servicer in the Distribution Account or any related Custodial Account,
and (y) by WMMSC in any related Custodial Account, plus, in each case, any
other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or
thereafter be received with respect to the related Mortgage Loans. Neither the
Trustee nor the Securities Administrator, as applicable, nor any other
successor, as applicable, 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 caused by (i) the failure of the Master Servicer or WMMSC,
as applicable, to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or
records to it, (ii) the failure of the Master Servicer or WMMSC, as
applicable, to cooperate as required by this Agreement, (iii) the failure of
the Master Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, to deliver the related Mortgage
Loan data as required by this Agreement or (iv) restrictions imposed by any
regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer or WMMSC, as
applicable. No successor master servicer or successor servicer as applicable,
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
caused by (i) the failure of the Securities Administrator to deliver, or any
delay in delivering cash, documents or records to it related to such
distribution, or (ii) the failure of Trustee or the Securities Administrator
to cooperate as required by this Agreement.

Section 6.15 Additional Remedies of Trustee Upon Event of Default.
During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of
Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights
specified in Section 6.14, shall have the right, in its own name and as
trustee of the Trust Fund, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at
law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect
the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders
(including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and
other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection
therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no
remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy,
and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other
remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair
any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of
Default.
Section 6.16 Waiver of Defaults.
More than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the
Certificateholders may waive any default or Event of Default by the Master
Servicer or WMMSC, respectively, in the performance of its obligations
hereunder, except that a default in the making of any required deposit to the
Distribution Account that would result in a failure of the Securities
Administrator or the Paying Agent to make any required payment of principal of
or interest on the Certificates may only be waived with the consent of 100% of
the affected Certificateholders. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such
default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right
consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
Section 6.17 Notification to Holders.
Upon termination of the Master Servicer or WMMSC or appointment of a
successor to the Master Servicer or WMMSC, in each case as provided herein,
the Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof by first class mail to the
Securities Administrator and the Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing on the Certificate Register. The Trustee shall also,
within 45 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default known to the
Trustee, give written notice thereof to the Securities Administrator and the
Certificateholders, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or
waived prior to the issuance of such notice and within such 45-day period.
Section 6.18 Directions by Certificateholders and Duties of Trustee
During Event of Default.
Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01 hereof, during the continuance
of any Event of Default, Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25%
of the Class Principal Balance (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of
Certificates affected thereby may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to
pursue any such remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts
97
or powers vested in it by this Agreement (including, without limitation, (i)
the conducting or defending of any administrative action or litigation
hereunder or in relation hereto and (ii) the terminating of (a) the Master
Servicer or any successor master servicer from its rights and duties as master
servicer hereunder) and (b) WMMSC or any successor servicer to WMMSC from its
rights and duties as a servicer hereunder) at the request, order or direction
of any of the Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders shall have
offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it
against the cost, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or
thereby; and, provided further, that, subject to the provisions of Section
8.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction
if the Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of Counsel, determines that the
action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee
in good faith determines that the action or proceeding so directed would
involve it in personal liability for which it is not indemnified to its
satisfaction.
Section 6.19 Action Upon Certain Failures of the Master Servicer or
WMMSC and Upon Event of Default.
In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual
knowledge or written notice of any action or inaction of the Master Servicer
or WMMSC, as applicable, that would become an Event of Default for the Master
Servicer or WMMSC, upon the failure of the Master Servicer or WMMSC, as
applicable, to remedy the same after notice, the Trustee shall give notice
thereof to the Master Servicer or to WMMSC, as applicable.
Section 6.20 Preparation of Tax Returns and Other Reports.
(a) The Securities Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared
on behalf of the Trust Fund, based upon information calculated in accordance
with this Agreement pursuant to instructions given by the Depositor, and the
Securities Administrator shall file federal tax returns, all in accordance
with Article X hereof. If the Securities Administrator is notified in writing
that a state tax return or other return is required, then, at the sole expense
of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file such
state income tax returns and such other returns as may be required by
applicable law relating to the Trust Fund, and, if required by state law,
shall file any other documents to the extent required by applicable state tax
law (to the extent such documents are in the Securities Administrator's
possession). The Securities Administrator shall forward copies to the
Depositor of all such returns and Form 1099 supplemental tax information and
such other information within the control of the Securities Administrator as
the Depositor may reasonably request in writing, and shall forward to each
Certificateholder such forms and furnish such information within the control
of the Securities Administrator as are required by the Code and the REMIC
Provisions to be furnished to them, and will prepare and forward to
Certificateholders Form 1099 (supplemental tax information) (or otherwise
furnish information within the control of the Securities Administrator) to the
extent required by applicable law. The Master Servicer will indemnify the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee for any liability of or assessment
against the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, resulting
from any error in any of such tax or information returns directly resulting
from errors in the information provided by such Master Servicer except to the
extent that such information was provided in reasonable reliance upon
information from any Servicer.
99
(b) The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file with the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), on behalf of the Trust Fund and each REMIC
created hereunder, an application for an employer identification number on IRS
Form SS-4 or by any other acceptable method. The Securities Administrator
shall also file a Form 8811 as required. The Securities Administrator, upon
receipt from the IRS of the Notice of Taxpayer Identification Number Assigned,
shall upon request promptly forward a copy of such notice to the Trustee and
the Depositor. The Securities Administrator shall furnish any other
information that is required by the Code and regulations thereunder to be made

the Master Servicer agrees that it shall cause each other Servicer to, provide
the Securities Administrator with such information related to the Mortgage
Loans in the possession of WMMSC or the other Servicer, as applicable, as may
reasonably be required for the Securities Administrator to prepare such
reports. WMMSC will indemnify the Securities Administrator for any liability
of or assessment against the Securities Administrator resulting from any error
in any of such tax or information returns directly resulting from errors in
the information provided by WMMSC.
(c) Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator shall, on behalf of the Trust and in accordance with industry
standards, file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (XXXXX), a Form 8-K (or
any comparable form containing the same or comparable information or other
information mutually agreed upon) with a copy of the report to the
Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to

Securities Administrator shall, on behalf of the Trust and in accordance with
industry standards, prepare and file with the Commission via XXXXX a Form 10-K

senior officer in charge of securitization to execute the certification (the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Depositor will execute and
return the signed Form 10-K Certification and Form 10-K to the Securities
Administrator on no later than March 20 of each year and the Securities
Administrator shall file the same with the Commission prior to Xxxxx 00, 0000
(xxx, if applicable, prior to March 30 of each year). To the extent any
information or exhibits required to be included in the Form 10-K are not
timely received by the Securities Administrator prior to March 30, the
Securities Administrator shall, on behalf of the Trust, prepare, forward to
the Depositor for execution and, upon receipt thereof, the Securities
Administrator will file one or more amended Form 10-Ks to include such missing
information or exhibits promptly after receipt thereof by the Securities
Administrator. Promptly following the first date legally permissible under
applicable regulations and interpretations of the Commission, the Securities
Administrator shall, on behalf of the Trust and in accordance with industry
standards, file with the Commission via XXXXX a Form 15 Suspension
Notification with respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable. The Master
Servicer agrees to furnish to the Securities Administrator promptly, from time
to time upon request, such further information, reports and financial
statements within its control related to this Agreement and the Master
Serviced Mortgage Loans as the Securities Administrator reasonably deems
appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission.
WMMSC agrees to furnish to the Securities Administrator and to the Depositor
promptly, from time to time upon request, such further loan-level information,
reports and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement
and the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans as the Securities Administrator or the
Depositor, as applicable, reasonably
99
deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the
Commission. The Securities Administrator shall have no responsibility to file
any items with the Commission other than those specified in this section.
(d) If requested by the Depositor, an officer of the Securities
Administrator and the Master Servicer shall sign a certification (in the form

Form 10-K Certification regarding certain aspects of such Form 10-K
Certification (provided, however, that the Securities Administrator will not
be required to undertake an analysis of any accountant's report(s) attached as
an exhibit to the Form 10-K). In addition, if requested by the Depositor, an
officer of WMMSC shall sign a certification (in the form attached to the WMMSC
Purchase and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit A) for the benefit of the
Person(s) signing the Form 10-K Certification regarding certain aspects of
such Form 10-K Certification.

deposit in the Distribution Account the Redemption Price or (b) state in such
notice that the Redemption Price shall be deposited in the Distribution
Account not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable
Purchase Date. Upon exercise of such option, the property of the Trust Fund
shall be sold to the Master Servicer at a price equal to the Redemption Price.
100
(d) The Depositor, the Master Servicer, each Servicer (including WMMSC),
the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian shall be
reimbursed from the Redemption Price for any Advances, Servicer Advances,
accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees or other amounts with respect to the
Mortgage Loans that are reimbursable to such parties under this Agreement, the
related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or the related Custodial Agreement.
Section 7.02 Procedure Upon Redemption Termination of Trust Fund.
(a) Notice of any redemption termination pursuant to the provisions of
Section 7.01, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the final
distribution shall be made or the purchase of the Trust's assets will occur,
shall be given promptly by the Securities Administrator by first class mail to
Certificateholders mailed in the case of a redemption of the Certificates, no
later than (i) the first day of the month in which the Distribution Date
selected for redemption of the Certificates shall occur or (ii) upon (x) the
sale of all of the property of the Trust Fund by the Securities Administrator
or in the case of a sale of assets of the Trust Fund, or (y) upon the final
payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property in the
Trust Fund. Such notice shall specify (A) the Initial Optional Purchase Date,
Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates of all
amounts required to be distributed to Certificateholders pursuant to Section
5.02 will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the
Certificate Registrar's Corporate Trust Office, and (B) that the Record Date
otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distribution
being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the
office or agency of the Securities Administrator therein specified. The
Securities Administrator shall give such notice to the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to
Holders of the Certificates. Upon any such termination, the duties of the
Certificate Registrar with respect to the Certificates shall terminate and the
Securities Administrator shall terminate, the Distribution Account and any
other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates, subject to
the Securities Administrator's obligation hereunder to hold all amounts
payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment.
(b) In the event that all of the Holders do not surrender their
Certificates for cancellation within three months after the time specified in
the above-mentioned written notice, the Securities Administrator 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 one year after the second notice any Certificates shall not
have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may take
appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of such Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the
amounts distributable to such Holders. If within two years after the second
notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Securities Administrator shall deliver any remaining funds being held by it to
the Holder of the Class A-R Certificates and the Holder of the Class A-R
Certificates shall, subject to applicable state law relating to escheatment,
hold all amounts distributable to such Holders for the benefit of such
Holders. No interest shall accrue on any amount held by the Securities
Administrator and not distributed to a Certificateholder due to such
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for payment of the
final distribution thereon in accordance with this Section.
101
(c) Any reasonable expenses incurred by the Securities Administrator in
connection with any purchase or termination or liquidation of the Trust Fund
shall be reimbursed from proceeds received from the liquidation of the Trust
Fund.
Section 7.03 Additional Trust Fund Termination Requirements.
(a) Any termination of the Trust Fund shall be effected in accordance
with the following additional requirements, unless the Master Servicer,
exercising its option to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Section 7.01(c), delivers to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, an
Opinion of Counsel (at the Master Servicer's expense), addressed to the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator to the effect that the failure of the
Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 7.03 will not
result in an Adverse REMIC Event:
(i) Within 89 days prior to the time of the making of the final
payment on the Certificates, upon notification by the Master Servicer
that it intends to exercise its option to cause the termination of the
Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall
adopt a plan of complete liquidation of the Trust Fund on behalf of each
REMIC, meeting the requirements of a qualified liquidation under the
REMIC Provisions;
(ii) Any sale of the assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section
7.01 shall be a sale for cash and shall occur at or after the time of
adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation and prior to the time of
making of the final payment on the Certificates;
(iii) On the date specified for final payment of the Certificates,
the Securities Administrator shall make final distributions of principal
and interest on the Certificates in accordance with Section 5.02 and,
after payment of, or provision for any outstanding expenses, distribute
or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the
Residual Certificates all cash on hand after such final payment (other
than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust Fund (and each REMIC)
shall terminate at that time; and
(iv) In no event may the final payment on the Certificates or the
final distribution or credit to the Holders of the Residual Certificates
be made after the 89th day from the date on which the plan of complete
liquidation is adopted.
(b) By its acceptance of a Residual Certificate, each Holder thereof
hereby agrees to accept the plan of complete liquidation adopted by the
Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee under this Section and to
take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested
by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or any Servicer.
ARTICLE VIII
RIGHTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
Section 8.01 Limitation on Rights of Holders.
(a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate
to terminate this Agreement or this Trust Fund, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs
102
to claim an accounting or take any action or proceeding in any court for a
partition or winding up of this Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights,
obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, no Certificateholder, solely by virtue of
its status as a Certificateholder, shall have any right to vote or in any
manner otherwise control the Master Servicer or WMMSC or 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 person by reason of any
action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision
hereof.
(b) No Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as
Certificateholder, shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any
provision 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, and
unless also the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the
Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of
Certificates of each Class affected thereby shall have made written request
upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name
as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the cost, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty 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 and no direction
inconsistent with such written request has been given such Trustee during such
sixty-day period by such Certificateholders; it being understood and intended,
and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, that no one
or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by
virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or
prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such 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 benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and
enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every
Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be
given either at law or in equity.
Section 8.02 Access to List of Holders.
(a) If the Trustee is not acting as Certificate Registrar, the
Certificate Registrar will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee,
within fifteen days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request by
the Trustee in writing, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably
require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders of each Class as
of the most recent Record Date.
(b) If three or more Holders or Certificate Owners (hereinafter referred
to as "Applicants") apply in writing to the Certificate Registrar, and such
application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other
Holders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the
Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such
Applicants propose to transmit, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within
five Business
103
Days after the receipt of such application, afford such Applicants reasonable
access during the normal business hours of the Certificate Registrar to the
most recent list of Certificateholders held by the Certificate Registrar or
shall, as an alternative, send, at the Applicants' expense, the written
communication proffered by the Applicants to all Certificateholders at their
addresses as they appear in the Certificate Register.
(c) Every Holder or Certificate Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing
Agency, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees with the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, WMMSC, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate
Registrar and the Trustee that neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
WMMSC, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee
shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information
as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless
of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 8.03 Acts of Holders of Certificates.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by
Holders or Certificate Owners, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar
tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing;
and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and
the Securities Administrator and, where expressly required herein, to the
Master Servicer or to WMMSC, as applicable. Such instrument or instruments (as
the action embodies therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes
referred to as an "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments.
Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such
agents shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in
favor of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and
WMMSC, if made in the manner provided in this Section. Each of the Trustee,
the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and WMMSC shall promptly
notify the others of receipt of any such instrument by it, and shall promptly
forward a copy of such instrument to the others.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer
authorized by law to take acknowledgments or deeds, certifying that the
individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the
execution thereof. Whenever such execution is by an officer of a corporation
or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation or partnership,
such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his
authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
writing, or the authority of the individual executing the same, may also be
proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) The ownership of Certificates (whether or not such Certificates
shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other
writing thereon made by anyone other than the Trustee) shall be proved by the
Certificate Register, and none of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator,
the Master Servicer, WMMSC or the Depositor shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary.
104
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action by the Holder of any Certificate shall bind every
future Holder of the same Certificate and the Holder of every Certificate
issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in
lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by
the Trustee or the Master Servicer in reliance thereon, whether or not
notation of such action is made upon such Certificate.
ARTICLE IX
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
BY THE MASTER SERVICER AND WMMSC
Section 9.01 Duties of the Master Servicer and WMMSC; Enforcement of
Servicers' and Master Servicer's Obligations.
(a) The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor and the
Certificateholders shall monitor the performance of the Servicers other than
WMMSC under the Purchase and Servicing Agreements, and shall use its
reasonable good faith efforts to cause the Servicers other than WMMSC duly and
punctually to perform all of their respective duties and obligations
thereunder. WMMSC hereby agrees that it shall use its reasonable good faith
efforts to duly and punctually to perform all of its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the WMMSC Purchase and Servicing Agreement (provided,
however, that in the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the
provisions of this Agreement and any provision of the WMMSC Purchase and
Servicing Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control).
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master
Servicer shall have no duty to monitor the performance of WMMSC under this
Agreement or under its Purchase and Servicing Agreements or to cause WMMSC to
perform its duties and obligations hereunder and thereunder, it being
understood that the Master Servicer's obligation to master service the
Mortgage Loans under this Agreement are limited to the Master Serviced
Mortgage Loans, and the Master Servicer shall have no liability to the
Certificateholders, the Depositor or any other Person for any acts or
omissions of WMMSC hereunder or under its Purchase and Servicing Agreements.
Upon the occurrence of a default of which a Responsible Officer of the Master
Servicer has actual knowledge under a Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the
Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof, and shall specify
in such notice the action, if any, the Master Servicer is taking in respect of
such default. So long as any such default shall be continuing, the Master
Servicer may, and shall if it determines such action to be in the best
interests of Certificateholders, (i) terminate all of the rights and powers of
such Servicer pursuant to the applicable provisions of the related Purchase
and Servicing Agreement; (ii) exercise any rights it may have to enforce the
related Purchase and Servicing Agreement against such Servicer; and/or (iii)
waive any such default under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or
take any other action with respect to such default as is permitted thereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to
any Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will have no duty
or obligation to supervise, monitor or oversee the activities of the related
Servicer under any Purchase and Servicing Agreement with respect to any
Additional Collateral or under any agreement relating to the pledge of, or the
perfection of a pledge or security interest in, any Additional Collateral
except upon the occurrence of the following events (i) in the case of a final
liquidation of any Mortgaged Property secured by
105
Additional Collateral, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of the
Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to liquidate such Additional
Collateral as required by such Servicing Agreement, and (ii) if the Master
Servicer assumes the obligations of such Servicer as successor Servicer under
the related Servicing Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01, as successor
Servicer, it shall be bound to service and administer the Additional
Collateral in accordance with the provisions of such Servicing Agreement.
(b) Upon any termination by the Master Servicer of a Servicer's rights
and powers pursuant to its Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the rights and
powers of such Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loans shall vest
in the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall be the successor in all
respects to such Servicer in its capacity as Servicer with respect to such
Mortgage Loans under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, unless or
until the Master Servicer shall have appointed (and the Trustee shall have
acknowledged), with the consent of the Rating Agencies and in accordance with
the applicable provisions of the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, a
new Xxxxxx Xxx- or FHLMC-approved Person to serve as successor to the
Servicer; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed by the parties
hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days)
before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to a successor
servicer (including the Master Servicer). With such letter from the Rating
Agencies, the Master Servicer may elect to continue to serve as successor
servicer under the Purchase and Servicing Agreement. Upon appointment of a
successor servicer, as authorized under this Section 9.01(b), unless the
successor servicer shall have assumed the obligations of the terminated
Servicer under such Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer and
such successor servicer shall enter into a servicing agreement in a form
substantially similar to the affected Purchase and Servicing Agreement, and
the Trustee shall acknowledge such servicing agreement. In connection with any
such appointment, the Master Servicer may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor servicer as it and such successor servicer
shall agree, but in no event shall such compensation of any successor servicer
(including the Master Servicer) be in excess of that payable to the Servicer
under the affected Purchase and Servicing Agreement.
The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement (including
the termination of a Servicer, the appointment of a successor servicer or the
transfer and assumption of the servicing by the Master Servicer) at its own
expense and shall be reimbursed therefor initially (i) by the terminated
Servicer, (ii) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to
the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of
the related Mortgage Loans, (iii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses
or attorney's fees against the party against whom such enforcement is
directed, or (iv) to the extent that such amounts described in (i)-(iii) above
are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer for such costs of
enforcement, from the Trust Fund, as provided in Section 9.04.
If the Master Servicer assumes the servicing with respect to any of the
Mortgage Loans, it will not assume liability for the representations and
warranties of any Servicer it replaces or for the errors or omissions of such
Servicer.
If the Seller is the owner of the servicing rights and the Seller
chooses to terminate that Servicer with or without cause and sell those
servicing rights to a successor servicer, then the Depositor shall cause the
Seller to give reasonable prior written notice to the Master Servicer,
106
and obtain the prior written consent of the Rating Agencies and a New Xxxxxx
Mae- or FHLMC-approved Person reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer
shall be chosen by the Seller and appointed as successor servicer with the
acknowledgment of the Master Servicer and the Trustee. The Depositor shall
cause the costs of such transfer (including any costs of the Master Servicer)
to be borne by the Seller.
(c) Upon any termination of a Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to
its Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly
notify the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, specifying in such notice that the
Master Servicer (or the Securities Administrator, in the case of WMMSC) or any
successor servicer, as the case may be, has succeeded such Servicer under the
related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, which notice shall also specify the
name and address of any such successor servicer.
(d) The Depositor shall not consent to the assignment by any Servicer of
such Servicer's rights and obligations under the related Purchase and
Servicing Agreement without the prior written consent of the Master Servicer,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with
respect to any action which according to the terms of this Agreement is to be
performed by the Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer, (i) if such
action relates to a Master Serviced Mortgage Loan, only the Master Servicer
shall have an obligation to perform such action and (ii) if such action
relates to a WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan, only WMMSC shall have an obligation
to perform such action.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
purchase of any WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan by any Person shall be subject to
the rights of WMMSC to continue servicing such WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loan
for the same Servicing Fee substantially in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(g) WMMSC may, in connection with its duties as Servicer hereunder,
enter into transactions with any of its Affiliates relating to the WMMSC
Serviced Mortgage Loans; provided that (a) WMMSC acts (i) in accordance with
Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) in the
ordinary course of business of WMMSC; and (b) the terms of such transaction
are no less favorable to WMMSC than it would obtain in a comparable
arm's-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of WMMSC.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any such transaction between WMMSC and
any of its Affiliates shall not release WMMSC from any of its obligations
hereunder and WMMSC shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and
omissions of such Affiliate with respect to such Mortgage Loans serviced by it
as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the WMMSC. Any fees and
expenses relating to such transaction between WMMSC and its Affiliate that are
not otherwise reimbursable to WMMSC pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne
by the parties thereto and shall not be an expense or fee of the Trust, the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Seller or the Master
Servicer.
107
Section 9.02 Assumption of Master Servicing by Master Servicer or
Servicing by WMMSC by Trustee.
(a) (i) In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer
be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default by the
Master Servicer under this Agreement), the Trustee shall thereupon assume all
of the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer hereunder and under each
Purchase and Servicing Agreement entered into with respect to the Master
Serviced Mortgage Loans or shall appoint or petition a court to appoint a
Xxxxxx-Xxx or FHLMC-approved servicer as successor servicer that is acceptable
to the Depositor and the Rating Agencies. The Trustee, as successor master
servicer, its designee or any successor master servicer appointed by the
Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest
herein and therein to the same extent as if such Purchase and Servicing
Agreements had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Master
Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations of the
Master Servicer under such Purchase and Servicing Agreement accruing prior to
its replacement as Master Servicer, and shall be liable to the Trustee, and
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from and against all
costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) incurred by the Trustee as a result of such liability or obligations of
the Master Servicer and in connection with the Trustee's assumption (but not
its performance, except to the extent that costs or liability of the Trustee
are created or increased as a result of negligent or wrongful acts or
omissions of the Master Servicer prior to its replacement as Master Servicer)
of the Master Servicer's obligations, duties or responsibilities thereunder.
(ii) In the event that WMMSC shall for any reason no longer be a
Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default by WMMSC under this
Agreement), the Securities Administrator shall thereupon assume all of the
rights and obligations of WMMSC hereunder and under each Purchase and
Servicing Agreement entered into with respect to the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage
Loans, or cause a successor servicer to assume such obligations in accordance
with Section 9.01(b) hereof (it being understood and agreed that the 90-day
transition period and the right of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
9.01(b) to reimbursement of costs and expenses in connection with a servicing
termination and/or transfer also shall apply to any transfer of the servicing
responsibilities of WMMSC by or to Securities Administrator). The Securities
Administrator, as successor servicer to WMMSC, or its designee shall be deemed
to have assumed all of WMMSC's interest herein and therein to the same extent
as if such Purchase and Servicing Agreements had been assigned to the assuming
party, except that WMMSC shall not thereby be relieved of any of its liability
or obligations under such Purchase and Servicing Agreements accruing prior to
its replacement as Servicer thereunder and hereunder, and shall be liable to
the Master Servicer, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Securities Administrator from and against all costs, damages, expenses and
liabilities (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Securities
Administrator as a result of such liability or obligations of WMMSC and in
connection with the Master Servicer's assumption (but not its performance,
except to the extent that costs or liability of the Securities Administrator
are created or increased as a result of negligent or wrongful acts or
omissions of WMMSC prior to its replacement as Servicer) of WMMSC's
obligations, duties or responsibilities thereunder.
(b) (i)The Master Servicer that has been terminated shall, upon request
of the Trustee but at the expense of such Master Servicer, deliver to the
assuming party all documents and
108
records relating to each Purchase and Servicing Agreement, this Agreement and
the related Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected and held by
it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient
transfer of each Purchase and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement to the
assuming party.
(ii) Upon the termination of WMMSC pursuant to Section 9.02(a)
hereunder, WMMSC shall, upon request of the Securities Administrator but at
the expense of WMMSC, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records
relating to each Purchase and Servicing Agreement to which WMMSC is party,
this Agreement and the WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect
the orderly and efficient transfer of each such Purchase and Servicing
Agreement and this Agreement to the assuming party.

(ii) WMMSC has all requisite corporate power, authority and
capacity to enter into the Agreement and to perform the obligations
required of it thereunder. The Agreement (assuming the due authorization
and execution of the Agreement by the other parties thereto) constitutes
a valid and legally binding agreement of WMMSC enforceable in accordance
with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and similar laws, and
by equitable principles affecting the enforceability of the rights of
creditors.
(iii) None of the execution and delivery of the Agreement, the
consummation of any other transaction contemplated therein, or the
fulfillment of or compliance with the terms of the Agreement, will
result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, any

with, result in a material breach, violation or acceleration of or
constitute a material default under, the terms of any indenture or other

Section 9.05 Merger or Consolidation.
Any Person into which the Master Servicer or WMMSC may be merged or
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, other
change in form or consolidation to which the Master Servicer or WMMSC, as
applicable, shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the
Master Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, shall be the successor to the Master
Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, hereunder, without the execution or filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that (i)
the successor or resulting Person to the Master Servicer shall be a Person
that shall be qualified and approved to service mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Xxx
or FHLMC and shall have a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and (ii) the
successor or surviving person to WMMSC shall have a net worth of at least
$15,000,000, unless each of the Rating Agencies confirm, at the expense of the
successor or surviving Person to WMMSC, that their respective ratings of the
Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment will not be
qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result of such successor or surviving
Person to WMMSC not having a net worth of at least $15,000,000.
Section 9.06 Resignation of Master Servicer or WMMSC.
Except as otherwise provided in Sections 9.05 and 9.07 hereof, neither
the Master Servicer nor WMMSC shall resign from their respective obligations
and duties hereby imposed unless (a) the respective duties of the Master
Servicer and WMMSC hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or
are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities
carried on by it and cannot be cured or (b) in the case of WMMSC, upon the
appointment of a successor to WMMSC and receipt by the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator of a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect
that such a resignation and appointment will not result in a downgrading or
withdrawal of the then current ratings of the Certificates related to the
WMMSC Serviced Mortgage Loans. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Master Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, shall be evidenced
by an Opinion of Counsel that shall be Independent to such effect delivered to
the Trustee. No resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective
until the Trustee shall have assumed, or a successor master servicer shall
have been appointed pursuant to Section 9.02 and until such successor shall
have assumed, the Master Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under
this Agreement. No resignation of WMMSC shall become effective until the
Master Servicer or a successor servicer shall have assumed WMMSC's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement and under the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreements. Notice of any such resignation shall be
given promptly by the Master Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, and the
Depositor to the Trustee.
If, at any time, the Master Servicer resigns under this Section 9.06, or
transfers or assigns its rights and obligations under Section 9.07, or is
removed as Master Servicer pursuant to Section 6.14, then at such time Xxxxx
Fargo Bank, National Association (or any successor thereto) also shall resign
(and shall be entitled to resign) as Securities Administrator, Paying Agent,
Authenticating Agent and Certificate Registrar under this Agreement. In such
event, the obligations of each such party shall be assumed by the Trustee or
such successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee (subject to the
provisions of Section 9.02(a)).
113
Section 9.07 Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Master Servicer.
Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not
assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any
other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any
other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed by the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Master
Servicer shall have the right with the prior written consent of the Trustee
and the Depositor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and upon
delivery to the Trustee and the Depositor of a letter from each Rating Agency
to the effect that such action shall not result in a downgrading of the
Certificates, to delegate or assign to or subcontract with or authorize or
appoint any qualified Person to perform and carry out any duties, covenants or
obligations to be performed and carried out by the Master Servicer hereunder.
Notice of such permitted assignment shall be given promptly by the Master
Servicer to the Depositor and the Trustee. If, pursuant to any provision
hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor
master servicer, the entire amount of the compensation payable to the Master
Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor master
servicer. Such successor Master Servicer shall also pay the fees of the
Trustee, the Custodian and the Securities Administrator, as provided herein.
Section 9.08 Limitation on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others.
(a) Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers,
employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the
Trustee or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from
the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for
errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect
the Master Servicer or any such person against any liability that would
otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in its performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard for its
obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good
faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted
by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Master Servicer
shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal
action that is not incidental to its duties to master service the Master
Serviced Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and that in its
opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that
the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that
it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights
and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Fund and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor
out of the Distribution Account.
The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the
Servicers except to the extent that damages or expenses are incurred as a
result of such act or omissions and such damages and expenses would not have
been incurred but for the negligence, willful misfeasance, bad faith or
recklessness of the Master Servicer in supervising, monitoring and overseeing
the obligations of the Servicers in this Agreement and the Purchase and
Servicing Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer is not
responsible for supervising, monitoring and overseeing the obligations of
WMMSC pursuant to this Agreement and the WMMSC Purchase
114
and Servicing Agreement and shall not liable for any act or omission of WMMSC
hereunder or thereunder.
Neither WMMSC nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of
WMMSC shall be under any liability to the Trustee or the Certificateholders
for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good
faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided,
however, that this provision shall not protect WMMSC or any such person
against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in its performance of its duties or by
reason of reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this
Agreement. WMMSC and any director, officer, employee or agent of WMMSC 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. WMMSC
shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal
action that is not incidental to its duties to master service the WMMSC
Serviced Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and that in its
opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that
WMMSC may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that it may deem
necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties
of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder.
In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability
resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund
and WMMSC shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Distribution
Account.
Section 9.09 Indemnification; Third-Party Claims.
(a) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee, and hold them harmless against any
and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related
costs, judgments, and any other costs, liability, fees and expenses that the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee may sustain as a result
of the Master Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard for
its obligations and duties under this Agreement, the Acknowledgements and the
related Purchase and Servicing Agreements. The Depositor, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee shall immediately notify the Master Servicer if
a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Master
Serviced Mortgage Loans entitling the Depositor, the Securities Administrator
or the Trustee to indemnification under this Section 9.09(a), whereupon the
Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim and pay all
expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay,
discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it
or them in respect of such claim.
(b) WMMSC shall indemnify the Trustee and the Securities Administrator
and hold each of them harmless for any loss, liability, damage, claim or
expense (other than any special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss,
liability, damage, claim or expense) of the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator arising from any failure of WMMSC to provide, or to cause to be
provided, the loan level information or data regarding the WMMSC Mortgage
Loans reasonably requested by the Trustee or Securities Administrator, and
required to be provided by WMMSC pursuant to this Agreement, on a timely
basis.

REMIC ADMINISTRATION
Section 10.01 REMIC Administration.
(a) REMIC elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement shall be
made on Forms 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for
the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
Certificates are issued. The regular interests and residual interest in each
REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day" of each
REMIC within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The latest
possible maturity date for purposes of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-1(a)(4) will
be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
(c) The Securities Administrator shall represent the Trust Fund in any
administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by
any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The Securities
Administrator shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes)
of each REMIC, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses
related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect
to such REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax
authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or
routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of
litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities
(including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful
misconduct of the Securities Administrator in fulfilling its duties hereunder
(including its duties as tax return preparer). The Securities Administrator
shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses to the extent provided in
clause (i) above from the Distribution Account, provided, however, the
Securities Administrator shall not be entitled to reimbursement for expenses
incurred in connection with the preparation of tax returns and other reports
as required by Section 6.20 and this Section.
(d) The Securities Administrator shall prepare, the Trustee shall sign
and the Securities Administrator shall file all of each REMIC's federal and
appropriate state tax and information returns as such REMIC's direct
representative. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be
borne by the Securities Administrator. In preparing such returns, the
Securities Administrator shall, with respect to each REMIC other than the
Master REMIC: (i) treat the accrual period for interests in such REMIC as the
calendar month; (ii) account for distributions made from each REMIC other than
the Master REMIC as made on the first day of each succeeding calendar month;
(iii) account for income under the all-OID method at the weighted average of
the Net Mortgage Rates; (iv) use the aggregation method provided in Treasury
Regulation section 1.1275-2(c); and (v) account for income and expenses
related to each REMIC other than the Master REMIC in the manner resulting in
the lowest amount of excess inclusion income possible accruing to the Holder
of the residual interest in each such REMIC.
(e) The Securities Administrator or its designee shall perform on behalf
of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the
responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other
compliance guidance issued by the Internal
116
Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other
duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance,
the Securities Administrator shall provide, upon receipt of additional
reasonable compensation, (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority
such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to
the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or
organization pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.860E-2(a)(5) and any person
designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code and (ii) to the
Certificateholders and the Trustee such information or reports as are required
by the Code or REMIC Provisions.
(f) To the extent within their control, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer, WMMSC and the Holders of Certificates
shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to
maintain the status of any REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and
shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. None
of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, WMMSC nor
the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall knowingly take any action, cause
any REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken)
any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the
case may be, could result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion of
Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the
effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in
the imposition of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any action with
respect to any REMIC or the assets therein, or causing any REMIC to take any
action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement,
any Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or their respective designees,
in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC
Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person shall take any
such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer has advised it in
writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided, however, that if no
Adverse REMIC Event would occur but such action could result in the imposition
of additional taxes on the Residual Certificateholders, no such Person shall
take any such action, or cause any REMIC to take any such action without the
written consent of the Residual Certificateholders.
(g) Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all
taxes imposed on the related REMIC by federal or state governmental
authorities. To the extent that such taxes are not paid by a Residual
Certificateholder, the Paying Agent shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of
current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the
Residual Certificate in any such REMIC or, if no such amounts are available,
(A) out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce
amounts otherwise payable to holders of regular interests in any such REMIC or
(B) to the extent that any such taxes are imposed on the REMIC as a result of
the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Master Servicer,
the Securities Administrator or any Servicer (including WMMSC), then the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, or that Servicer (including
WMMSC), as applicable, shall pay when due any and all such taxes.
(h) The Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes,
maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC on a calendar year and
on an accrual basis.
117
(i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC,
except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
(j) Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall
enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee or other
compensation for services.
(k) [Reserved].
(l) The Class A-R Holder shall act as "tax matters person" with respect
to each REMIC created hereunder and the Securities Administrator shall act as
agent for the Class A-R Holder in such roles, unless and until another party
is so designated by the Class A-R Holder.
Section 10.02 Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
Neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall sell,
dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a
disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the
bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of each REMIC pursuant to
Article VII of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of
this Agreement or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of
this Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of
any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any
contributions to any REMIC after the Closing Date, unless it has received an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale,
disposition, substitution or acceptance) that such disposition, acquisition,
substitution, or acceptance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event, (b)
affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates or (c)
result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust
Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement).
The Master Servicer with respect to the Master Serviced Mortgage Loans
and WMMSC with respect to the WMMSC Mortgage Loans shall not consent to any
modification of any such Mortgage Loan for which the consent of the Master
Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, is required under the applicable Purchase
and Servicing Agreement under which such Mortgage Loan is serviced, that would
(i) increase the interest rate in respect of such Mortgage, defer for a period
in excess of six months or forgive the payment of any principal or interest,
reduce the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of
principal), increase the Servicing Fee on such Mortgage Loan or extend the
final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan, or (ii) result in a substitution or
release of collateral or in the provision of additional collateral for the
Mortgage Loan, unless the applicable Mortgage Loan is in default or default is
reasonably foreseeable in respect of such Mortgage Loan, or the Master
Servicer or WMMSC, as applicable, has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the
expense of the party requesting consent for such modification) that such
modification will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.
Section 10.03 Indemnification with Respect to Prohibited Transactions or
Loss of REMIC Status.
Upon the occurrence of an Adverse REMIC Event due to the negligent
performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties and obligations set
forth herein, the Securities Administrator shall indemnify the
Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses ("Losses") resulting from
such
118
negligence; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall
not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of
the Depositor, the Trustee or the Holder of the Residual Certificate, nor for
any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by any of the foregoing
parties on which the Securities Administrator has relied. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, in no event shall the Securities Administrator 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 or under any Purchase and Servicing Agreements or
under any Acknowledgement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of
malfeasance, willful misconduct or negligent performance by the Service
Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any
special or consequential damages to Certificateholders of the related Residual
Certificate (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the
Certificates).
Section 10.04 REO Property.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall not, except to the
extent provided in the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement, knowingly
permit any Servicer to, rent, lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of any
REMIC with respect to any REO Property which might cause an Adverse REMIC
Event unless the applicable Servicer has provided to the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel concluding that, under the
REMIC Provisions, such action would not adversely affect the status of any
REMIC as a REMIC and any income generated for any REMIC by the REO Property
would not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.
(b) The Depositor shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent
provided in its Purchase and Servicing Agreement) to make reasonable efforts
to sell any REO Property for its fair market value. In any event, however, the
Depositor shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent
provided in its Purchase and Servicing Agreement) to, dispose of any REO
Property within three years of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the
Depositor or the applicable Servicer (on behalf of the Trust Fund) has
received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect
that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and
under applicable state law, the REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer
period without causing an Adverse REMIC Event. If such an extension has been
received, then the Depositor, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder,
shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer to, continue to attempt to sell
the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three
years as such extension permits (the "Extended Period"). If such an extension
has not been received and the Depositor or the applicable Servicer, acting on
behalf of the Trust Fund hereunder, is unable to sell the REO Property within
33 months after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if such an extension, has
been received and the Depositor or the applicable Servicer is unable to sell
the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of the
Extended Period, the Depositor shall cause the applicable Servicer, before the
end of the three year period or the Extended Period, as applicable, to (i)
purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property's fair market
value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the
applicable Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price
prior to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as
the case may be.
119
Section 10.05 Fidelity.
The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket
fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage
with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on
such Master Servicer's behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the
performance of the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder. The errors and
omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and
amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers and
trustees.

parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all
prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, inducements and

effected pursuant to clause (iii) of such sentence adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Holder. Prior to entering into any
amendment without the consent of Holders pursuant to this paragraph, the
Trustee shall be provided with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the
party requesting such amendment) to the effect that such amendment is
permitted under this Section. Any such amendment shall be deemed not to
adversely affect in any material respect any Holder, if the Trustee receives
written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such amendment will not
cause such Rating Agency to reduce the then current rating assigned to the
Certificates.
120
(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee,
with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class

such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee receives an Opinion of
Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change
will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided further, that no such
amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on
any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii)
reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Balance or Class Notional
Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of
which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the
Holders of 100% of the Class Principal Balance or Class Notional Amount (or
Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby. For
purposes of this paragraph, references to "Holder" or "Holders" shall be
deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the
related Certificate Owners.

Registrar, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the
Securities Administrator to any obligation in addition to those
undertaken by such entities in the Pooling and Servicing

knowledge that the requirements set forth in paragraph 3,

Purchaser has reason to believe does not satisfy the requirements
set forth in paragraph 7 hereof, and (ii) without obtaining from
the prospective Purchaser an affidavit substantially in this form
and providing to the Certificate Registrar a written statement
substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Agreement.
9. That the Purchaser understands that, as the holder of a Residual

paragraph 7 and paragraph 10 hereof.
